Russian Revolution
Brings Charming
]. Guest Here

A faint echo OF the terrible
days of the Russian revolution is
the cooking class in Russian
dishes recently opened by Nine.
V.<P. Haneafeldt at the National
Woman's Party headquarters.
Washington remembers Nine.
Haneafeldt as the pretty and
vivacious Marie Mertvago, daugh-
ter of a former naval attache of
the Russian embassy here, and a
diplomatic bud" of some twenty
five years ago. Mile. Marie came
to Washington first in 1895, two
years after her father was trans
ferred to the embassy office here,
and made her debut in the winter
of that year.
Her friends in Washington re-
member that in 1898 or there
abouts Mile. Marie left Washing
ton to go back to Petrograd as
the bride of an officer in the
Russian imperial guard. Her hus-
hand. afterwards General Hanea-
feldt, was an extremely wealthy
member of one of the Oldest fam
flies in Russia and a decided
1avorite at the imperial court.
And now Mile. Marie, some few
years older, her brown hair family
gray, but still the same merry
little soul Of those other days, is
back in Washington teaching a
class in cooking, to earn a liveli-
hood for her pretty little daugh-
ter, Zene, and herself.
Her husband was killed some
few months after the beginning
Of the war, fighting on the Aus
TRAN frontier Later her estates
In Russia and Finland were con-
fiscated and, with her daughter,
she was compelled to flee in the
night before the Bolsheviki.
With funds furnished by friends
of her girlhood days in America
she came to the United States
with her little girl, and since her
arrival has earned a living for
the two of them.
The class in cooking was sug.
'gested by Mrs. Harvey Wiley, a
friend Of her Washington DAYS.
And Mrs. Wiley, too, we suspect,
was responsible for her securing
the use of the Woman's party
headquarters for her classes.
Cooking had always been little
Marie Mertvago's greatest accom-
plishment. She was a graduate
of one of the famous domestic
science schools of Petrograd and
loves the art for "art's sake" She
is. however, restricting her course
entirely to Russian cooking. In

BETTER TIL NCALOME[
Thousands Have Discovered DIR
Edwards Olive Tablets Are q
Harmless Substitute.

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect
on the liver Is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets are
the result OF DIR. Edwards deter
mination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that caIomel' does, but have
no bad after effects. They don't
inture the teeth like strong liquids
or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense of
the teeth? Calonel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take
calomel. Let DIR. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, 'dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and a disordered liver. Take DIR.

SEEK TO ILLUSTRATE

 Pledges have been circulated urE- ing every man, woman and child to Hheip break the gun-toters conspiracy against our friends the birds" and so satisfactory has been the response in signatures that the ambition has be- como nation-w wide, according to MT. Burtt.
 "rhe movement had it's inception in tho Michigan Audobon society, and Senator Woodbridge Ferris has prom tsed to make his Washington office a clearing house for the society'H aims. P said MT. Burtt, who Is chairman of the crime prevention committee of the society Tt has spread beyond tho society and Michigan, however. and we are receiving pledges and in- duirIes from points throughout this section. The movement was designed for tho protection of birds. but will raise It's voice against animate and inanimato things. Constructiveness not destructiveness: prevention Of crime, not punishment for crime, are remedies for many of our troubles"
 Organizations which have sub scribed to tho movement include the Hamilton club, the Knights of Pythlas Masonic lodges. Lions clubs common pleas courts, penal and cor rective institutions, Rotary clubs. wild flower. bird and horticultural socie- ties, playground associations and numerous large commercial com panleB.
 A poster depicting black hulk of R man holding a smoking gun, while on the ground lies a slaughtered bird. has been designed as the official pos ter for the movement.

NOTED WHALERS' FLAG HURLED LAST TIME AS FIRM QUITS BUSINESS
Thrilling Adventures in North ern Regions Part of
 Wings History

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March 3i. The firm of J. & ". R. Wing has gone out of business. The announce ment means little to the present generation, but when the whaling industry was at it's height the flag of the house of Wing, letter w on q field of white and red ball on . field of blue, was known on the seven seas.
 It was in 1s4s that Joseph and William R. Wing. natives of the , neighboring town of Dartmouth. in this city. In 1858 they acquired managing ownership of their first whaling ship. the John Dawson, and for more than 40 years the firm was one of the dominating factors in the romantic trade.
 In that period 25 ships sailed under the Wing flag. Most of them met a tragic end. The John Dawson. after making dozen voyages to the whaling grounds, was lost in d storm off Panama. Strangely enough, the first ship built expressly for the Wings, the bark Sunbeam, launched at Mattapoisett Tn 1856. survived nearly all the others and went whal- ing for the firm until 1910, when she was sold and later lost.
 The bark Kathleen was In service from 1857 to 1902. when she was rammed by whale and went down off the South American coast. Sew oral other vessels were crushed in the Arctic fee and still others found- cred In storms at sea.
 The bark Triton, veteran of ex- citing experiences before the Wings bought her, was in the whaling busi- ness for q hundred years before the Arctic ice finally caught her. In 1S48 she was attacked by natives or 8 South Sea island at which she had touched. The crew rallied to the de- fense with whaling guns, harpoons and lances, but five of their number were killed and seven wounded be- fore two Nantucket ships came up and rescued them.
 During the Civil war there was both perilous and profitable work for the whalers. Confederate cruis- CTS, particularly the Shenandoah and the Alabama, were raiding northern shipping. The Wings were advised to put their ships under the British flag
 "rll send my ships out under the Stars and Stripes if everyone is lost, declared William Wing.
 He did, and only one of them was captured. The Shenandoah overlook the ship Brunswick in the Arctic in 1865 and burned her. oil brought home by the II Wing vessels then in Che trade gave the firm profit of $500. 900 in the Civil war period.
 Joseph Wing died many years ago. Later William was killed in a rail- road wreck. The estate maintained the firm name, but in recent years the only business done was in ready made clothing, in which the Wings have been pioneers here in connec- tion with their outfitting shop. Now the firm has been dissolved and a department store has taken over It's ancient home.

1lETAL MARKFT REyIEW

NEW YORK, March 31.-Whiie the de- mand for steel continues active. some pro- ducers are showing distinct hesitation about booking orders ahead. Prices are very firm with further advances in some directions and supplies are not keeping pace with requirements. Pig iron is in good demand and prices are firmly. held on account of the frmness of fuel and increased cost of production.
 Copper has been quiet and rather un- settled. An easier tone in London was followed by some price shading by second hands although no change was noted in the price views of producers and the cheaper offerings appeared to have been pretty well cleaned up or withdrawn by the end of the week. Manufacturers re- port that their output for the next two months has been pretty closely sold up the average.
 Tin has weakened under the large sup ply afloat for this country and the ap- parent liquidatng movement in London.
 Lead was steady. especiallyon spot.
 Zinc Is steady with good demand. Ap- parent consurn ption in the United states during 1922 was s71.540 tons compared with 2o3.s in 1921 Consumption during the first three months of 1928 has been at the highest rate for any similar peace tune period insthe history Of the nation.
