OF DIPLOMATS
BY HAROLD KORAN

PARIS, May 1S.--Following the
departure Of Cardinal Cerretti for
Rome. Baron de Gaiffier d'1estroy,
the Belgian ambassador, becomes
the dean of the French diplomatic
corps.
Although the cardinals appoint
ment only dates from August 8,
1921, by special courtesy to the
representative of the Vatican, ne
has always been considered the
dean of the corps.
The oldest diplomatic representa-
tive in France is the minister from
little Central American republic,
Costa Rica. The Marquis de
Peralta has been representing the
Central American country since
March Z. 1887.
He is probably the oldest in the
vocation, which has been enabled
by a Talleyrand, a Metternich ana
a Franklin.
Prince San1ad Khan, one of the
most inveterate of Partisan fight
nighters, has been the Persian en-
voy since April II, 1906. Norway 9
representative comes next in senior
ity. the Baron de Wedel Jarlsberg
being in the service in Paris since
April Is, 1907.

automotive fuels and to give such :
distinctive product areaily distinctive

Popular Russian Dish
Elaborate and Tasty

OF Russia's many national dishes.
Solyanka is perhaps the most popular.
This is much more elaborate prep
aration than Vienna snitzel or Hum
garian goulash. It is rich and pi-
quaint without being unduly heavy or
greasy, as are most Slav dishes.
To make 1t the Russian housewife
takes 2 pounds of cooked beef. veal,
ham or chicken, either singly or In
combination, 2 pounds of boiled cab
bage, n teaspoonful flour. onion, 2
pickles, 10 olives, 10 picked mush-
rooms, few truffles and Y pound
butter.
The onion and cabbage are chopped
fine and fried In butter until soft. The
meat is cut into thin slices. Then
the cook buffers deep pudding dish,
making it inch deep with alternate
layers of meat and cooked cabbage.
The top layer should be Of cabbage,
and on this is placed slices Of picked
mushrooms, olives, trufiles and pickles.
White sauce or brown beef sauce Is
then poured over all and the dish Is
baked in an oven for one hour and
served hot in the same pudding dish,
with a sprinkling Of chopped parsely
on top.

Built Fortune From
Picture Post Cards

Sir Adolph Tuck was the picture
post card pioneer, says the Boston
Herald. His father, Raphael Tuck,
founded Arm making cheap pictures
for London only. The son rapidly ex.
tended the business to the British
islands as q whole and then seized
upon the coming Of the telegraph as
his opportunity for an enormous ex-
pansion Of his slowly developing In
dustry. He started with six sets Of
designs, the next year there were
twenty, the third year fifty. He OBJ
tanned the aid of professional artists
and his competitive exhibitions Of the
paintings to be reproduced on his
cards were attended by such crowds
as nowadays throng the movies.
He went one year to every one OF
the royal academicians with requests
for new designs and not few found
1t consistent with their dignity to &C.
cept his offers. Famous poets wrote
verses for his cards. But Tennyson
had the fortitude to refuse an offer Of
1000 guineas ($5,255) for 1000 words
Of verse. This indomitable and enter
prising promoter Of an industry which
he had himself created spent many
weary weeks in conference with the
postal authorities over the size Of his
cards. His business success made him
q baronet and q prominent British
flnancier.
Longfello,o's Maine Home
There is a Longfellow house in
Portland, the home where he spent
much Of his bOyhood. 1t was built in
1875, by the poets grandfather, Gen.
Peleg Wadsworth, and was the first
brick house in Portland. It stands on
Congress street, next to the mansion
Of Commodore Preble, and 1t still ex-
lists in its original form except that
Stephen Longfellow added a third
story to it. This was Longfellow's
home when he returned from college,
from his trips abroad, and when aft
erward he made his visits from Cam
bridge. BY the sisters will the house
with most of its contents was left to
the Maine Historical society, to be
kept as a memorial to her distin-
guished brother. In 1t have been de-
posted by the family many interest
ing things associated with the Wads-
worths and the Longfellows, and
there the poets admirers may see the
desk where "The Rainy Day" was
written, and mementos Of his child
hood and youth.

Proued His Contention

There Is none SO deaf as he who
will not hear, and there Is none SO
feeble as he who hates manual work.
The man detested 1t. He worked hard
and brilliantly with his head, and con-
seQuently only worked when he had to
with his hands. At the earnest solicit
tation of some moving power he finally
consented to NOW the lawn. It was a
long, dreary process to him, and he
loved 1t less every minute he was on
the job. When he finished he looked
at his hands partly in sorrow, partly
In triumph, and then he went to his
wife and stretched out those hands
accusingly. "See." he said; "see those

CathedroPs Fire BRIGADE

st. Paul's cathedral In London has
it's own private fire brigade and wa
ter service. The water service was
installed shortly before the World
war. Though the cathedral does not
appear to the casual observer as be-
ing a building that would burn easily,
being mostly Of stone, there are hid
den away in the thickness Of its walls
and elsewhere in its interior several
hundred passages, corridors, rooms,
staircases and cupboards composed
largely Of wood. The great outer
dome, which Is to be seen from the
street, also is made Of wood, encased
with lead. Another reason for the
fire brigade is the fact that most of
the wood in the structure is many
years old and unusually dry, making
1t excellent finder in event a fire
should start in the building.-London

Used 70 Make Medicines

The aborigines Of tropical America
believed the fern to possess special
curative properties and when made
into a strip 1t was used for pulmo-
nary and other internal ills. An oil
made from the male fern Of a GER
tain species has long been and is to-
day highly valued by physicians as
an excellent vermifuge. In addition
to its medicinal virtues, the roots of
this fern are highly priced for making
beer and other beverages pleasing to
the taste. At the present time the
French believe fervently in the medi-
cinal qualities Of strip made from
the Venus's-hair fern.

Evolution Splits
Baptists Today

WASHINGTON, May 27.-A
split over evolution arose as a dis
turbing factor between Fundamental
lists and modcrnists in the Northern
Baptist convention here today, fol-
lowing the victory of moderationists
in an immersion controversy.
A resolution stating the belief
that the story of creation as told in
Genesis is the only theory that
Orthodox Baptists may teach or ac-
cept, has been prepared by follow
ers of j. Frank Morris, fundamen-
talist leader of Houston, Texas, and
an attempt will be made to bring
| it before the convention late today.
Although fundamcntalists have
little hope that their extreme resoln-
tion on Genesis and the "flood' y
theory of creation will be adopted,
they hope to get all factions on rec
ord. A similar resolution was adopt
ed at the Southern Baptist conven-
ton at Memphis.
The vote they hope to get will be
used in the fundamcntalist cam
paign against modernism in churches
| all over the country, in an attempt
to get a majority of delegates next
year in opposition to evolution, mod.
crnism, oman made theories of
creation and the influence of the

The delegates were presented to
President Coolidge at the white
