The Safe Side

While I applaud the airmen daring
who far above the earth are faring,
stay down on the ground; I'm satisfied
with this old planet, composed of gum
DO, mud and granite, where foothold
may be found. I hear my friends for
ever crying, How is it that you don't
go flying, like all the other boys? 1t
is a wonderful sensation that fills your
person with elation-it is the chief of
Joys" But I would rather watch the
others, my younger, more courageous
brothers, like hawks or eagles flee; /
hear the dauntless airmen calling, but
I've a deadly fear of falling parasang
or three I drive my bus along the
prairie, and I am blithe, exceeding
merry, fill the air with song; twit-
ter with a gay abandon, for I have
something firm to stand on if any,
thing goes wrong. A tire goes fiat, a
sparkplug misses. the radiator heats
and Kisses, I still am glad and gay,
though little grievances ensheath me,
the solid earth is here beneath me. and
can wait all day No deadly danger
points its finger, the sun is shining
where linger, and peace involves my
dome; there's no occasion here for
panic, I wait until tall mechanic
comes up to tow me home. If in an
airship were gliding and something
busted. I'd be sliding to ruin right
away: there'd be no dusty road to stand
on, no stalwart tree to put my hand on,
no restful stack of hay. In dreams
see myself cavorting through leagues of
atmosphere and snorting in ecstasy of
fright; I pause moment in my snor-
ing to cry aloud, II won't go soaring

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 80, Thanksgiving day
way observed generally in Washington
today, both in the homes and the
churches. The sermons in most OF the
churches had direct reference to the
present threatening condition of ma
tional affairs growing out of the seces-
sion movement in the South following
the election of Abraham Lincoln as
President of the United States earlier
this month. Most of the sermons were
strongly Union" in sentiment.
Rev. DR.. Butler. rector of Trinity P.
E. Church, said in his discourse that 1t
was only natural in the Capital OF the
Nation Thanksgiving address should
refer to national affairs. Many wise
and good men, he said, think that our
nationality is on the verge OF destruc-
ton.
How, then, could they make this a
day Of thanksgiving" he asked, and
then answered his own question by say
ing: why, all the more dear to them
should their nationality be and all the
more thankful should they be for its
past and remaining blessing, If, indeed,
it be about to perish. Never is a home
SO dear to the hearts of its inmates as
when it is in danger of destruction"
Republican loyalty was his theme. He
asked if it was a possibility or reality.
How could it be defended and perpet-
uate6? He said the church, the family
and the State are divine institutions.
That statement. he held, does not mean
necessarily that there must be blind
obedience to government under every
circumstance of wrong, outrage and OPP
preston. but. he declared. it does
involve IAN exceedingly important con-
clusion that it is divine obligation to
obey the laws in all cases, except those
where it is a divine obligation to dis
obey them. as in such instances as those
enumerated above"
1t appears from latest advices re-
ceived here today that South Carolina
has all along been determined to leave
the Union and has only delayed doing
so in the hope of getting the other
slave States to cooperate with her,
hope in which she has for the present
failed. South Carolina has, therefore,
decided to go it alone" if need be.

Tulle and Taffeta Combination
BY MARY MARSHALL.

time Simply the demands and taste OF
youth are very much the same here as
there, and so from the various types OF
frock that the dressmakers have to
offer they will quite naturally tend to
make the same selection.
This year the type of frocK tnat
young girls here, there and everywhere
have adopted as their own is the tulle
and taffeta combination. Bodice OF
taffeta cut zen forme" and skirt OF
tulle made quite full.
AS so often happens with a type OF
frock that youth takes as its very own,
these tulle and taffeta frocks really de-
mand youthful face and figure. Iney
are not the thing that you would advise
any older woman to wear If you wanted
her to look her very best. Tulle is es-
pecially attractive in the new off-White
shades that are always lighter than any
pastel shades.
The extremely light shade OF green
that is just off white is at the moment
one of the favorite shades of the faSh-
ionable younger women. Cream color,
ecru, egg-shell shade and the lightest
possible shade of pink are also attrac-
tive in tulle and taffeta.
To finish the edge of jersey jumper
or the edge of new scarf, there Is
nothing better than one of the new
blanket stitches. There are dozen
ways that you will find them conven-
fence in the course of your nome sew
ing. So do send me your stamped, SELF
addressed envelope and I will SEND you
an illustrated set of directions at once.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A BOTTLE
By EDGAR ALLAN POE

abyss, From pillows a thousand Tunes
more stupendous than any I have ever
seen we glide away with the facility of
the arrowy Seagull, and the colossal
waters rear their heads above us like
demons of the deep, but like demons
confined to simple threats and forbidden
to destroy.
The ship and all in it are imbued
with the spirit of Eld.>< The crew glide
to and fro like the ghosts Of buried
centuries. Their eyes have an eager
and uneasy meaning, and when their
figures fall athwart my path in the
as have never felt before, although /
have been all my life a dealer in an
tiquities.
AS imagined, the ship proves to be
in a current, if that name can properly
be given to a tide which, bowling and
shrieking by the white ice, thunders
on to the southwark with velocity
like the headlong dashing of cataract.
It is evident that we are hurrying on
ward to some exciting knowledge, some
never to be impaired secret, whose at
tainment is destruction. Perhaps this
current leads us to the South Pole
itself.
The crew pace the deck with unquiet
and tremulouS step, but there Is upon
their faces an expression more OF the
eagerness of hope than of the apathy
of despair.
In the meantime the wind Is still in
our poop, and as we carry a crowd OF
canvas the ship is at times lifted bodily
from the sea! Oh, horror upon horror
The ice opens suddenly to the right and
to the left, and We are Whirling dizzily
", Immense c0ncpntric circles around
and around the borders of a gigantic
amphitheater, the summit of whose
walls is lost in the darkness and the
distance.
But little time will be left me to
ponder my destiny! The circles rapidly
grow small We are plunging madly
within the grasp of the whirlpool, and
amid a roaring, and believing, and
laundering of ocean and tempest the
ship is quivering. Oh, God! And
going down!

separately. To the yolks add one tea
spoonful of flour. one-fourth cupful of
milk, half a teaspoonful of salt, little
pepper, and if on hand one tablespoon

Ear Popping.

L-Popping in the ears and other
head disturbances, such as you men
toned. may be due to catarrhal con-
dition In the ear, especially in the
eustatian tube (the tube which con-
meets the inner ear with the mouth).
T think If you would go to a nose,
throat and ear specialist with your
case he ought to help you.
You Can Control Worry.
H.-Your fear, nervousness and
worry may be symptom of a run
down physical condition, or 1t may be
purely mental Did you ever know
excess worry to help? Worry should
be INDUCED in only to the extent that
it helps you to remedy the thing you
are worrying about. Never allow the
trivial annoyances of life to worry
you beyond their deserts. To do so
is to wear the web of your life to the
warp" This is one of Hubbard's say
ings. II you will think of 1t occa-
sionally, it will help. Notice that Hub
bard doesn't say not to worry at ALL
but not to worry about things beyond
their deserts.
You can make yourself stop worry
| ing by saying to yourself: II know
am not helping in the least: just harm
| ing myself, and / am going to put
| this thing out of my mind"
Yeast Cakes Fatteninx?
L. wants to know If yeast cakes are
| fattening. .,.
Yeast cakes land yeast extracts) are
very high in vitamin B, the anti
neuritic and appetite stimulating Wit
amin. It is now believed that It also
contains an anti-pellagra factor. The
yeast cakes, however, count but 20
| calories per cake, SO the only way
they may be fattening would be to
stimulate your appetite enough so that
you would increase your diet.
Reducing without Exercise? .-
| Mrs. F. wants to reduce. She says
she owns store and Is walking prac-
tically all day. She wonders If she
can reduce by diet without adding
extra walking. Her abdomen requires
a little special thought.
imagine that If your store In well
ventilated, you needn't add extra walk
ing, Mrs. F., although good, brisk walk
ing in the open air would really give
more benefit.
Yes, most of the reduction has to
be done through diet, but exercise is
necessary to keep one toned up and
supple. And, of course, the more you
exercise, the less you have to limit
your diet. However, one can reduce
by diet alone. It's the biggest part
of the reduction regime In any case.
Iced Tea and Lemon.
Mrs. S.-No, iced tea is improved by
lemon rather than harmed, because
lemon juice has the anti-scurvy vita
min. The overweighter should take
his iced tea unsWeetened.
Whether tea Is worse for one than
coffee Is an individual question. An
over consumption of either may be
harmful, and even in moderate guam
titles they are harmful to some.
No. there is no truth In the belief
that eating lemons will help to re-
duce. Lemons have no effect on
thinning the blood" as you have been
told, unless they are substituted for
more solid food. Then they might
have that effect--a beneficial one-on

Everyday Psychology
Cultural Products.
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPROWLs.

Cultural product is a technical term
used by sociologists in referring to the
things that any given group of people
live by. Sometimes they mean a me-
chanical invention, such as the auto
mobile and the radio. At other times
they mean 6. sc ial institution. SUCH aS
our courts of law and our legiAlAtaYs
assemblies, our system of edu@@ucH
war, etc. Again, these sociolog1SN naTe
in mind systems of ethical and M9a
control, such as Christianity, MormotS
ism, Judaism, etc. Or, still again. they
may be thinking of standardized HoodS
such as bread, coffee Or even some
cigarettes. Anything that finds a set
tied place in the round Of life for the
majority of the members iof a given
group is cultural product
Our various systems OF cultural prod
ucts are more significant than they
appear to be. Naturally we take them
for granted, since we grew up in and
with them.
Let some one break away for even a
short time from one of the standardized
ways of doing things, and the meaning
of cultural products and the sanction
that is accorded them are apparent
Cultural products and their meaning
are back of the great Americanization
movement in this country. There would
be no such thing as race prejudice II
it were not for the fact that different
races have different systems Of cul-
tural products.
There is such a thing as cultural
psychology" and it's very important
branch of what is commonly called
social psychology" The one big ques-
ton is, what has man done with his
hands, and what did he think about
while he was doing it? If you can get
the answer to this question, you will
! understand why We do what we do in
social sense.

MY Neighbor Says:

To restore faded upholstery,
beat the dust out, then brush.
Apply strong lather of CASTLE
soap with hard brush, wash off
with clear water, then wash off
with alum water. When it be-
comes dry the colors will look as
we'll as ever. When colors are
faded beyond recovery they may
be touched up with pencil
dipped in water colors of suitable
shade, mixed with gum water.
When boiling ham. salt beef or
tongue, which is to be eaten cold,
you should leave the meat in the
liquor until it is cold. The flavor
Is very much improved.
If your forks smell f1shy after
serving fish, add a teaspoon of
dry mustard to the dishwater. 1t
will carry off the odor.
The white of an egg applied to
a burn or scald is most soothing
and will cause the burn to heal
quickly.

June 81, 1S65.-Testimony for the
prosecution in the trial of the con-
| Spirators for the assassination Of Presi-
| dent Lincoln was closed today before
| the military commission. As soon as
Judge Advocate Holt announced that
| this point in the trial had been reached
Assistant Judge Advocate Bingham pre-
sented his argument on the jurisdiction
of the court.
The crime charged and specified on
the record, said Judge Bingham, was
not simply the crime of numbering a
human being, but 1t was the crime Of
| numbering within the military depart
ment OF Washington and the entrenched
| lines thereof, Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
! dent of the United States and the
commander in-chief of the Army and
| Navy thereof, and then and there
assaulting with intent to murder VIII
liam Fl. Seward, then Secretary of
State. and lying in wait to murder
Andrew johnson, then Vice President
of the United States, and Ulysses S.
Grant, then lieutenant general in
command of the Armies of the United
States, in pursuance of a reasonable
conspiracy entered into by the accused
with one John Wilkes Booth and John
Surratt, with intent thereby to aid the
existing rebellion and subvert the Con-
stitution and laws of the United States.
Reviewing at length the decisions and
practices of the early history of the
Federal Union, Judge Bingham showed
that in times of rebellion the public
safety is the highest law; that, so far
as necessary, the civil courts must be
silent; that the rights of each citizen,
as secured in time of peace. must yield
to the wants, interests and necessities
Of the Nation, and that the limitations
and provisions of the Constitution in
favor of life, liberty and property are.
therefore. wholly or partially suspended
The people, in re-electing the late
President Lincoln on November s. last
voiced their approval of this doctrine
declared Judge Bingham, since Mr.
Lincoln had suspended the jurisdiction
of the civil courts in many instances
during the great emergency of civil war
From this decision of the people
there lies no appeal on EARTH" declared
Judge Bingham
Judge Bingham finished his argument
about 800 pm. The court adjourned
until ] pm. tomorrow. when he will
proceed with his argument on the
evidence.
