It may as well be recognized that

This same discrimination should now
be given to American salads. There
are the salads that are delight to

In his youth Napoleon Bonaparte
despised his father, Charles Bonaparte,
because he had submitted to the French
after they had conquered the Corsicans
in the decisive battle Of Ponte Novo.
He found the military school at
Brienne, in which he was placed at 10,
| extremely distastefu1 because his fellow
students were French and taunted him
with his country's surrender.
Your father submitted" they jeered.
II shall never forgive him." rejoined
Napoleon bitterly.
But If he was critical Of his father.
he always deeply admired his mother.
She had mans head on a woman's
body" he often said. It is certain that
the best part Of him was an inheritance
from her
After Ponte Novo, Charles Bonaparte
became mere. parasite, looking for
ease and pleasure Though noble, he
was poor. For supporting the French
he sought many favors. Chiefly he
| hoped to recover an estate which had
passed into possession of the church.
1t was vain.
He had been a different man in his
youth. Then he had come back to
Corsica from Pisa with degree of
doctor of laws to support with en-
thusiaSm and courage the patriot
Pasquale Paoli in the revolt against the
invaders.
Handsome in embroidered velvet and
powdered wig with sword at his side
he had not trouble in winning the heart
OF l5-year -old Letitia Ramolino. the
most beautiful girl in Aiaccio. She was
so devoted to him that she put her
first-born son, Joseph, out to nurse so
that she might join Charles in the perils
and hardships Of mountain warfare.
A courageous soul. Hostilities were
Just ceasing when she left off nursing
the wounded and encouraging the timid
to go back to Ajaccio to give birth to
another child.
she was at the cathedral attending
the celebration of the Assumption wher
certain symptoms warned her to hurr,
home. She had just reached her parlo
and a sofa when Napoleon Bonapart
was born.
Years later Letitia said proudly: III
came into the world as he rose tc
greatness-without assistance"
Charles Bonapartc might chas-
chimeras, but Letitia did not. In all
she had 13 children before her hus-
bands death In 1885. Eight survived,
and kept her busy.
A tall woman, she remained ersc'
and handsome all her days. Proud,
independent and simple. her training
and her character are well illustrated
by her conduct as Madame Mother"

SPRINCTIME
BY ID. c. PEATTM.

Just where the Potomac forks, below
the Key Bridge, and the main stream
flows close to the Washington bank.
while the shallow channel passes be-
tween Analostan Island and Virginia,
Is the place to 60 a-hunting after
golden club. Until the new bridge sees
completion 1t will be hard to cross to
Analostan Island, unless you have q
until until the tide goes out. It is odd, but
many a person does not know we have
q tide in the Potomac River that runs,
presumably, up to the falls. But 1t Is
so, and if you wait until low tide you
can pass over at one point dry shod
stepping from rock to rock. Follow
down, then, the shore Of the island
facing toward Virginia and you will
find the golden club growing In the
water and the mud.
A pure flower, o regal flower, It al
ways seems to me. to take fancy to
It is. Nature will have 1t 50, and no
wishing will make 1t otherwise. To find
the golden club you must fear neither
mud nor water nor the rising Of mos
uuitoes from the marshes as you pass.
It is safe to say that only the true
flower lover will persist until he findS
this plant, and hence can disclose its
whereabouts with less of fear than were
to indicate the hiding place OF some
rare plant easy Of access.
The golden club. as every one who
sees 1t knows at once, belongs to that
great tropic race. the GAIA family. We
have no callas in the District Of Co
lumbia, quite naturally, and yet for ne
the golden club Is a thing more gay.
In place Of the Gala hly's waxy for
mality, there is about the golden club
something inexpressibly wild and ro-
mantle. It captures in its golden spike,
It's soft, curled, colored Leaf. like one
enormous petal, all that In the marshes
is free and natural, wind-washed and
un-smitten. The flight Of the geese,
the clapping Of little waves with small
brown hands, the rumble Of the frogs,
the sky, bent like taut blue bow,
are one In the minds Of those who can
appreciate the marsh with the bloom
ing of the golden club, the trailing Of
Its leaves across the surface Of the
water.

Those Galleries!

Galleries are confusing, yet they are
an exact measurement Of food values,
and any one who chooses to make O
study OF them can do wonders for her
self and for others. I once told the
story Of q young friend of mine who
became q qualified dietician--a career,
by the way, that Is ideal for young
girls, since the work Is pleasant, easy,
and pays very well indeed.
This girl first Of all reduced herself
from some quite abnormal weight-her
original reason for taking up this
career. Then she went with rich
private family, where she supervised
the meals, and during her years with
them practically cured the father Of
diabetes, and has taken 40 pounds from
the mother. The daughter. too, once
out Of college and away from the col
lege activities. began to put on flesh
to an alarming degree, until she also
went under the dietician's care, and
finally began studying diet so she could
keep herself slender. So long as the
dietician stays with the family they re-
main healthy. the diabetes is kept
down. the mother looks we'll in the at
tractive clothes she buys herself 90

begged her to hurry back!

A Sermon for Today
Violate the Law,
BY REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Text: Eye have caused many to
stumble at the law."-Mal., lis.
Malachi Is here addressing the priests
In their high and sacred position they
should be an example to others. Says
Malachi: 1.-THE priests lips should keep
knowledge, and they should seek the
law at his mouth; for he Is the mes
senger Of the Lord of Hosts" But
these priests to whom Malachi was
speaking had proven false to their po-
sition. "Ye are departed out Of the
way" he tells them. Thus they had
become a stumbling block to others.
I'VE have caused many to stumble at
the law"
wonder If we do not have parallel
to this in modern America? 1 won
der II We do not have here something
that explains, in part at least, the wide
spread lawlessness from which America
is suffering today? Most of our law
lessness belongs to the less fortunate,
the less prosperous, the under class OF
society But not all Of 1t belongs there.
There is a good deal Of lawlesSness
among our higher-ups. And these higher
UP examples Of lawlessness are often
widely paraded before the public With
these examples before them, what can
be expected from those in the lower
environments Of social life? When the
law Is violated by those whose circum-
stances ought to make them exemplary
citizens, the effect cannot be other than
to break down respect for the law on
the part of the less favored elements Of
our citizenship.
"Ye have caused many to stumble at
the law" Perhaps We would soon have
fewer entertainments, fewer bank rob-
berries, less thievery and banditry going
on in the country If those in high places
would be more scrupulous in observance
of the law.

are using are proving themselves too
drastic in your particular case If you
have inherited the tendency toward
thin hair and possible badness, do not
think you can ever grow a luxuriant
head of hair, but the right local care
and attention to general health will help
you keep your hair longer than you
would otherwise. There may be an in
herited weakness in the hair follicles
that would prevent their producing
strong hairs after a certain age. The
case is, think, somewhat like that of
the teeth. The soundness of the teeth
Is determined, to a large extent, by
heredity, nutrition in the prenatal
period and diet in early life. II you
happen to have soft teeth that easily
decay, what you do for them now will
not make them become strong and hard.
OF course, there is great difference
between the structure and growth Of
teeth and hair, but my point is that In
neither case can local treatments over

stitution or heredity. would suggest

Shiny, Blemished Nose.

~ EAR MISS LEEDs-O What
will take away the spots ut
each side Of my nose? They
~ become noticeable whenever I
use powder. My nose is shiny.
(2) What will make eyelashes dark and
curly? (3) My hair is oily and full Of
dandruff. What will make 1t soft and
fuffy?-E. M. r.
Answer-Q) You do not describe the
condition of the skin very accurately,
but I Judge that you refer to enlarged
In addition to the local treatments that
shall suggest, you should be careful Of
your diet, eat plenty Of green vegetables
and fruits, avoid constipation, exercise
daily outdoors and see that your weight
is correct for age, height and type Of
build. At bedtime remove your makeup
with cleansing cream and then wash
your face with pure, mild soap and
plenty Of warm water. Rub the lather
where the enlarged pores are seen.
Rinse thoroughly in clean warm water,
thea rinse in cold water. Dry well. Pat
on a skin lotion made Of equal parts Of
rosewater, glycerin and witch-hazel and
allow this to remain on overnight. Next
morning rinse your face first in warm
water, then in cold, dry the skin well
and rub in the skin lotion before powd-
ering.
ca II your lashes happen to be
naturally light and straight doubt that
you can ever acquire long, dark, curly
ones, but you can encourage the growth
Of the hairs and slightly darken them
by applying white vaseline every night
for six months or more. Use a small
eyebrow brush with a single row Of
bristles and brush the laShes inward tn
encourage the curl. OF course, II you
wish, you may use mascara to darken
the hairs and use a patent eyelaSh
curler that is now being sold do not
advise the regular use of preparations
for darkening the hairs. such as mas
cara. I think a natural, well-groomed
pair Of lashes is prettier than painted
ones.
90 Wash your hair with pure CASTLE
soap liquid once o week. Lather and
rinse the hair four to six separate times
before the final rinse. Thorough sham
pooling will make the hair soft and
fluffy. You may also use an astringent
scalp tonic or antiseptic scalp lotion
three times week. Before the
shampoo loosen the dandruff with fine
comb and brush 1t out.

Dressing Aid.

selves, but they used to be unable to
tell the back of their boomers from the
front, and even when I did show
they had returned to their room they
usually had them so turned around
that they were all mixed up again. So
I devoted few hours time to working
a short row of feather stitching in a
bright embroidery floss, which would
not fade, on the front band of the

time-saver and now the little girls are
