Let those who are incINed to the
fanciful bathing suit select models of
such fabric as makes it's appeal, but
for the bathing enthusiast who goes in
for the zest of the sport the two-piece
jersey-knit swimming suit consisting of
form-fitting slip and trunks or tights
is the popular choice. Just as in the
case of so many of the new sweaters
which so fashionably flourish stripes
that run around and around, so are
many of the smart bathing suits dis
tinguished by their stripes of many
colors as here pictured.
1t must be kept in mind, however,
that even the simplest bathing suit is

Famous Man Hid Fact
of His Loudly Origin

Some curious things have come to
light at the festivities of the unveil-
ing of memorial tablet to Henri de
Blowitz, the famous London Times
correspondent, Pierre Van Paassen
says, In the Atlanta Constitution. The
tablet was unveiled In his native VII
lage In Czechoslovakia. The school
master of the village has been largely
responsible for the whole affair. He
showed guests letter, written In
French from Paris, In which De Blow
itz seeks admission into the Roman
Catholic church and expresses his
desire to give a gift to the poor local
church. The famous man, whose real
name was Opper and who came from
Blovice, however, writes In his auto
biography that he was Catholic
from infancy. He also starts his book
with a reference to the chateau of
Blovice, whereas the tablet was af-
fixed to a little house in the square.
His father was no lord of the manor,
but Jewish shopkeeper who at the
same time acted as caretaker Of the
local synagogue. The boy, Opper, was
inscribed at the village school, as the
present master showed. where he won
prize in 1884 for his proficiency In
reading the Czech language.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
CURE FOR RINGWORM

TN CERTAIN sections 1t is firmly be-
l lieved that ringworm may be cured
by moistening the finger in the mouth
and then rubbing it around the dis
eased spot sunwise-that is In the di-
rection Of the hands Of clock. Here
we have an undOubted survival in
which is embodied sun-worship and
the idea of primitive man with re-
gard to the mystic virtues of human
saliva, an idea which extended down
through the Classic ages and was sol
emily held by Pliny and other great
Roman philosophers and scientists, as
their writings show.
This saliva idea has often been dis
cussed. Its basis was that the saliva
partook not only of the physical but
the spiritual life and soul of a man
represented an especial power of his
spiritual being. AS to rubbing the
ringworm sunwise, that Is in accord
ance with all the ritual of SURVIVOR
ship, as has been explained in other
superstitions into which the so-called
ceremonial circuit" has entered. Thus
did the priests of the sun move be-
fore his affairs at Heli0polis and Stone
henge, and In this manner, therefore,
does the finger move around the ring
worm. This piece of folk-machine
lore is especially interesting from the
clear-cut manner in which it stands
out as survival from those far, dim
ages when time was yet young.

COWARDICE

TT is an act of cowardice to run
L away from difficult situation.
Problems which daily become a part
Of ones experience must be intelli-
gently met and solved. Unsolved
problems when allowed to accumulate
create environments and conditions
which block progress. A man must
either drive his work or be driven by
it. Should the latter prevail, man be-
comes a slave. Should the former
prevail, man becomes a master. Fail
ure in life is more frequently at
tributable to the fact that work drives
men rather than men drive work. The
man who would successfully control
the issues of any enterprise must first
Of all have learned the fine art of
knowing how to control himself An
orator who sways his audience COM
polling them to think as he thinks and
feel as he feels, is himself calm, Sc
rene and self-controlled Should he
himself lose the balance of power and
exhibit it in his speech, the audience
only laughs.
The alternatives confronting a man
who meets his daily problems is
either to fight them out or succumb to
the inevitability of failure. Not to
make the effort to fight them out is
cowardice of the worst sort To resign
ones self to whatever conditions
arise, without making fight for ones
ideals and ambitions, Is fatalism.
There is no weakness Of human ma
ture quite as intolerant and unbear-
able as the asininity of fatalism. No
exercise contributes more to the de-
velopment Of mind and heart than a
daily fight with knotty problem.
One must adjust himself to the daily
task Of mastering the problems which
enter into his experience or perish in
the effort. To attempt anything less
is weakness"
Postponement of action breeds dam
ger. Putting off until tomorrow what
could and should be done today ex-
plains many disasters. With every
problem there seems to come sort
of power" to meet it. A power"
created by the very conditions under
which the problem arose. This impor-
tant asset may be absent tomorrow.
do it now contains some fine phi
losophy.
One of the greatest privileges in
life is to daily confront difficult
problem and subdue it into obeisance
to the power of will and purpose.

Is the sort of thing I'd do, too"
But by this time Miss Fidgety FASH
ionable Hen had eaten the nice juicy
worm. for she had been the first to
get to 1t and Red Top had said:
"First come, first served"
So he had acted as he had said he
would and had given the worm to the
one who had reached him first.
"Cackle, cackle," said Miss Red Hen.
II am all a-flutter. There Is going to
be a barnyard concert tomorrow and l
am going to sing solo,"
"Were you asked to sing solo?"
asked Miss Fidgety Fashionable Hen.
"No," admitted Miss Red Hen, ''but
shall take my music along with me.
Then when some one says:
"sDear Miss Hen, won't you please
sing? i shall say am quite out of
practice, and really | don't believe l.
can, and that had known l would be
called upon would have brought
along song or two.
"And then when l am urged still
harder, l shall say:
Dear me, dear me, now isn't this
fortunate? I've just discovered that
under my right wing is piece or two
of music which must have put there
without thinking
'That is what I shall say"
"Who are getting up the concert"
asked Red Top.
"The Ducks" said Miss Red Hen.
"Well, I'm glad to know about it,"
said Red Top, "for shall be prepared
myself to crow.
II know splendid early morning
bugle song which / made up myself
not long ago, and it goes like this"
Red Top got upon a stump and
crowed this little song:
Cock "a -doodle-do
This I say to you,
Cock -doodle-do,
i also say this, too,
There's nothing very new
In my cock-a doodle do,
But oh how very few
Can cock-a-doodle-
1t is the ROSTERS art,
From 1t he'll never part.

Well, the word got around the barn
yard that there Wis going to be an
entertainment and concert the fol-
lowing day, and all the animals ex-
cept the geese began practicing songs
so they'd be all ready if they were
called upon, and they did, indeed, hope
they would be called upon.
And they all saw to it that they
were called upon.
Maybe you would have said the
barnyard concert was very queer
kind of a concert, but one thing they
all did do-they all made terrific
barnyard noise.
So it was voted great success!
