But was she on the level: Pan
handling should be sure-fire hokum. for
a fairly good-looking girl.
Crust-throwing used to be good, but
one never hears of it now. The public
is educated. There are fewer of the
candid beggars who say they want a
drink. That brought an excellent re-
sponse for time, but the citizen grunts
angrily nowadays. He probably wants
a drink himself. Small children are
profitable if they have a good story.
II want to go home" walled one little
girl at Coney Island every day for u
week. When the police finally sent her
to her New Jersey home they discovered
that she not only lived well, but had
been the dispenser of largess to other
little boys and girls. She admitted that
she collected four or five dollars day.
Yet she was an amateur.
The most successful beggar in town.
perhaps, is a white bearded old man,
who looks like saint OF an artists
model. He never asks for help. Just
looks at one in dumb, despairng, ap-
pealng way. The story goes that he
was once a clergyman.
Hes too lazy" said the professional
from whom l gathered these facts. If
he'd hustle he could make big money.
But he has no ambition"
Some of the beggars make real bust
ness of it, Scores have been picked

surrounded by her grandchildren. She
plans to send them all through college.

This machine has a large screw turn

of which is screw thread running
in an opposite direction.
Between the main threads on the
cylinder are smaller threads. and the
depth of the groove becomes pro-
gressivcly smaller from one end TO
the other. SO that il will hold the en-

The wheat is prepared by thor

about pint of tepid water to pound
of grain is added. The whole mixture

hours. The grains of wheat having
swollen to twice their size, the mix

OSTRICH DOES NOT HIDE
HEAD IN SAND, HE SAYS
Explorer Stefansson Explodes
Myth Which Has Persisted
Nearly 1000 Years.

From the American Mercury.
The ostrich does not hide its head
in the sand when fear affiicts it. This.
at any rate. is the bold proclamation
made by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the
Arctic explorer. Nowhere has a re-
sponsible observer ever seen an os-
trich thrust its head into the sand
to escape a foe
The legend has persisted for nearly
1900 years. Perhaps 1000 years
hence, despite all the naturalists and
all the iconoclasts, people will still
believe that ostriches are as silly as
Pliny thought they were.

BROWN ASFOE
OF REFORM
Congressman Lays Death OF
Classification Of Efficiency
Bureau Chief.

Charges that the. chief of the
bureau of efficiency, Herbert D.
Brown, has resorted to misquotation
Of the law, distortion of facts and
evasions to bring about the down
fall of the reclassification act We're
made yesterday on the floor Of the
House by Congressman Frederick
Lehlbach of New Jersey, chairman
Of the House Committee on Reforms
in the Civil Srvice.
1.-THE chief Of this bureau has
from the beginning been a bitter op-
ponent Of reclassification," Lehlbach
charged. HE has worked openly
and furtively to encompass its de-
feat. In this as in his other
Vaccinations he has had highly in
fluential support.
HE has resorted to misquotation
Of the law, distortion Of facts, half
truths, and evasions to influence
those who place confidence in him.
To reach persons whom he knew
did not trust him he would use
emissaries who would not disclose
whence they came or in whose be-
half they spoke.
"Up to the present moment he
has succeeded. Classification is
dead. The work of Congress is
held up to open public contempt"
Congressman Lehlbach charged
that the representative on the Per-
sonnel Classification Board from
the bureau of efficiency consist

A Series
Charlemagne, upon
his accession to the
control Of mid Europe,
called to his court all
the artists and men of
letters from all of
Europe. So it was but
natural that when this
court was assembled
the subject of beauty
in the interior of the
palace should be dis
cussed.
Soon hangings, to
relieve the bare walls,
were introduced, then
benches and chests.
All showed the influ-
ence of the artistic
minds Of his famous
court. So it may be
said that Charlemagne
started the revival of
art in the interior of
the homes and palaces
Of that day.
