WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE GREAT LONDON FIRE

commodations in stately and we'll fur

tremeSt misery and poverty.
September IL went this morning on
foot about the city with extraordinary
difficulty, clambering over heaps of yet
smoking rubbish and frequently mistak-
ing where l was. The ground under
my feet was so hot that it even burnt
the soles of my shoes. In the meantime
his majesty got to the Tower by water
to demolish the houses about the canal,
which. being entirely built about it,
had they taken fire and attacked the
White Tower, where the magazine of
powder lay, would undoubtedly not only
have beaten down and destroyed all the
bridge but sunk and torn the vessels in
the river and rendered the demolition
beyond all expression for several miles
about the country
Thus lay in ashes that most vener-
able church, st. Pauls, one of the most
ancient pieces of early piety in the
Christian world, besides near 100 more.
| The lead. ironwork. bells, plate, etc.

GERS Chapel, the sumptuous Exchange,
the august fabric of Christ Church. all

tuous buildings, arches-all in dust,
the fountains dried up and ruined. while
the very waters remained boiling; the
abysses of subterranean cellars, wells.

burning in stencil and dark clouds of

Crimes and Morals

The ''Newgate Calendar" is printed in
modern style, with covers tinted and many
queer and quaint engravings, and stories
of condemned mems rawlings. Twas
written by two great attorneys who
long ago wound up their Journeys, and
multitudes have read their story of
deeds inhuman, fierce and CORY, of
doomed men drearily haranguing, of
old Jack Ketch who did the hanging.
This book goes drifting down the ages,
and people still peruse its pages to learn
of olden time conditions, of prison
chaplains and their missions. The
authors never tired explaining that only
where the Law is reigning DER peoples
lives can they be happy and find exist
ence bright and snappy. They tell a
tale of blood and arson, then for a time
out-preach the parSon expounding
truths that make the reader become
from crime a swift seceder; they argue
that no man is ever the gamer by his
fierce endeavor to knock the sacred
Law to pieces: full soon his weeping
auntS and nieces will see him carried
to the scaffold, where all his stratagems
are baff1ed. The brave old book, in new
edition. suggesting croWner and morti-
clan. comes from the press and people
grab it--they all have formed the crime
hound habit. And people who have
never read it are prone to give it little
credit; they call it morbid and degrad-
ing-but still its vogue Is never fading.
And that's because it's always dwelling
upon crimes failure, always telling that
retribution gets the sinner, that virtue
is the only winner And since such
morals it is tracing, how can you say it
is debasing? WALT MASON.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Balanced Mind.

When you speak of some ones pos
sessing a balanced mind. or, on the con-
trary, an unbalanced mind, you are not
thinking of education, or training IN
specialized pursuits. There is a wide
variation among people on that score.
The balanced mind refers to something
more fundamental than the accident OF
artificial environmental influences. "A
balanced mind is one that is character
ICED by harmonious setting OF the emo
tiorls
The possessor of a balanced mind
has a fairly good opinion of himself.
The first signal of incipient insanity is
noticed when the individual begins to
feel that he amounts to nothing. AT
least that situation will answer for a
great many cases that eventually md
their way to a mental sanitarium. A
wholesome amount of egotism IS a
sign of mental balance. The cases OF
extreme egotism found in asylums, and
often out of them, are very generally
conversations for unadmitted failures
A balanced mind is also noted for
the interest it takes in companionship
both with its own sex and with the op-
posite sex The highest level of exiS-
tence is social one.
A balanced mind may on occasion
become emotionally aroused. But it
never goes to extremes. Nor do such
states continue long.
A balanced mind is, as a regular
thing, free from haunting fears and
morbid reflections. There are no we'll
defined complexes, inhibitions or re-
pressions.
The unbalanced mind is characteriz-
ed by its lack of cheerfulnesS. Pes
simism leads to all sorts of maladjust-
ments on the social side of existence.
A disorganized emotional life is sure to
follow
In order to possess balanced mind,
one needs to take an interest in a
fairly wide variety of things. The
mental diet should be even more varied
than bodily diet, for its functions are
relatively more complex.

Peanut Proteins.

According to DR.. d. B. Jones, nutri-
tion expert of the Department of Ag-
riculture, peanut proteins are among the
highest in nutritive quality. Expert
ments have shown that most proteins
when digested yield sometimes as many
as 20 substances that are called amino
acids, several of which are absolutely
essential for normal growth and nutri-
ton. Peanuts contain two proteins
both of which contain all of the essen
tian amino acids. Shelled peanuts con-
tain 40 to so per cent of oil which can
be very satisfactorily used for making
salad dressings and for cooking pur-

Answer-(D Scrub the skin every
night with plenty of warm water and
soap. rinse WELL dry and pat on some
OF the following lotion tablespoon
fuls lemon juice. tablespoonfuls glycer-
in and drops of ammonia. Massage
this into the skin and leave it on over

less your calf is more than IA inches

RADIO VISION

LONDON, March High interest
was aroused in scientific circles to-
day by the news that television be-
tween a transatlantic steamship
and the shore was accomplished
last night for the first time in the
history of his latest radio invention.
s. w. Brown, wireless operator
on the Cunard liner Berengaria,
saw the face of his sweetheart,
Dorothy Selvy, broadcast bye the
Baird Television Company from the
concerns laboratory in Longacre,
London.
The liner was in mid-ocean, about
1900 miles from London. Accord.
ing to a message wireIessed by
Brown the experiment was entirely
successful. The operator reported
that he had watched his fiancee's
movements for fifteen minutes upon
special receiving apparatus in the
Berengaria's wireless ROOM.
While progress is being made
in the field of television, Senator
