By DOCTOR FRANK CRANE

~ PEAKING Of writer of dull prose- Doctor johnson
remarked that he as brisk as bee IN converse
ton but no sooner does he take In his hand than
it becomes torpedo to him and benumbs all his faculties
One Of the great mysteries opsychology Is why brilliant
conversatonas can not show equal briancy in writing
or great writer show equal excellence in conversation
II IS notable that OF the greatest writers nave
been laundering stammerers in conversation
Oliver Goldsmith was inep that one OF his TRENDS
declared HE writes like angel and talks like poor
poll.
DESCRIBES father of modern philosophy was said to be
ridiculous conversation also Moller the Drant
French dramatist who ranked next to Shakespeare
Butler author Of the famous satire Hudbras made
such fool of himself day trying to converse that the
King Charles IL he lmposor ana ala NOT
write tHudibras" at all. ~
Other noted writer's who failed conversatlonasts IN
clude Pope Dryden Addison Rousseau Button Cornele
La Fontaine, Gray, who wrote the Elegy IN Country
Churchyard and Milton who forced IN society 10
maintain "dignified silence
with pens their hands these moved the world
The only conclusion that some mems minds are under
constrans under one condition and others under another
In either seIfconsciousness is the bugaboo that
frightens away freedom display natural brilancy
Self consciousness like the small neck of large bottle
ressts the natural flow and what comes out not ndca
tive of the quantity within
Up certain extent carelessness OF what others think
is sautary aids in overcoming the tendency to be self
conscious.
It is also well to remember that while being silent IN

their achievements.
This is a sentimental old world
and it thinks q lot more of its
great lovers than of its great lead
ers and generals.
X y
Just look at Solomon, for in
stance! Solomon, the poet, the
philosopher, the statesman-Solo-
mon. the glorious-remembered
today only as the worlds greatest
marrying mani
Henry VIII, was one of Eng
lands greatest lawmakers and
mightiest rulers; but who ever
thinks of him, now, except as the
worlds greatest ex-husband? The
man with the divorce-complex!
x
Bluebeard was the most skilful
and eminent physician of his time
yet his fame was achieved as
the worlds greatest WidoWer-
the most brilliant example of the
peterborough" theory.
X X X
Mac Anthony shone as a great
soldier and an orator, but he is
remembered chiefly as the worlds
greatest lover.

Byron Is no longer quoted. and
his poetry is almost forgotten;
but his love-letters still make good
reading, and his fame as the
Rudolph Valentino of his day is
still undimmed.
X ~
Nobody remembers all the wise
kings of France, who were called
Louis-but that brilliant Louis
who was known as the lover of
many ladies still lives in the
popular fancy.
Who would remember Potiphar,
or Lot either. if it were not for
their WIVES? And lots of people
who have forgotten that Samp
son pulled down the temple. still
remember that Delilah bobbed his
hair.
Even Adam got most of his
fame through Ewes little intrigue
with the Serpent and her weak
ness for applesauce.
X X X
Oh yes, it is the women in a
mans life who do most to keep
his fame and his memory green!
Nobody cares how many bat
ties man won or lost-it's how
many women he won or lost, that
matters to us. 1t is as lovers
and husbands an sheiks and
Lotharios, that men are most in
teresting to the world-not as
statesmen. or poets or soldiers.
X X X
Man cannot live alone-not in
HISTORY, at any rate! It's the
WOMEN in his life who make
or mar his fame forever!

the big bonding houses. She was
one of those sensible, capable
girls that older men like to talk
to, yet friendly and foolish
enough to make herself popular
with the younger set. The women
liked her, too-she was always
doing some nice little thing for
them. Yes, the Smiths certainly
seemed a big addition to the
neighborhood.
Then last week Mrs. Edwards
sister came to visit her. Mrs.
Edwards sister had lived in the
same town with the Smiths. And
what she didn't know about
Ethel! The rest of the family
were all right, but Ethel!It
seems that she'd been in one
scrape after another in High
School. The talk of the whole
town after she graduated Bright
yes. But simply terrible the
way she acted. Joy riding. drink
ing, smoking-one man after an
other.
1t ended in one grand scandal
when she was arrested with some
other young people in notorious
road house. The other two girls
were strangers and there wasn't
any past record against them,
OF course the brunt of everything
fell on Ethel.
1t was q dreadful mess. but 1t
did seem to sober her. But OF
course no one could trust her
after the way she'd acted. So
the Smiths packed up and moved
away. And now here they were.
settled in this Nice Neighborhood,
with everyone treating Ethel just
as If she was one Of the
family.
Well, of course. it didn't take
Mrs. Edwards sister long to bust
up a happy arrangement like
THAT. And now the Smiths
have moved again.

but at last Mrs. Edwards sister
has fulfilled my hopes. She's
the bloodhound Supreme. Moth
ing that ever trailed Eliza over
the ice could hold a candle to
that lady. When 1T comes to put
ting the bronchial tubes to vicious
use, she has the whole canine
family skinned.
The original slave traders were
feeble limitations in comparison
with lady like that. They
could only track down human
flesh but she can track down all
your history. past, present and
future.
She can trace to it's hiding
place the corpse Of that little mis-
take you made when you were
sixteen and drag it forth with joy
in her eye. She'll work a month
on the trail of the family scandal
you're trying so hard to hide,
and tree it in the end and call
the pack with glad, resounding
bays. From house to house she
rornps with her nose to the
ground and may the Lord have
mercy on your sinful soul when
one of these ferretinG females
comes around.
However, they're not always
females. There's many a male
with a nose as well set for
scandal shifting as any lady. And
a mind as thirsty for human blood.
Is there one of this pack in
your block or your office? And
il so what should be done about
them?
