SCHURMAN ADVOCATES
DIPLOMATIC FRANKNESS
"Smooth Speech and Sharp Prac-

BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN. December 12.-United States
Ambassador Jacob Gould Schurman
Tuesday night told a large and dis
tinguished audience of Americans and
Germans that there is no greater mis-
take than the SuppoSition that effec-
tive diplomacy can nowadays be an az
fair of smooth speech and sharp prac-
tice."
He was speaking at testimonial
dinner arranged in his honor by the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Germany. Among the numerous Ger
man officials present was the new min
lister of economics, Prof. Paul Modem
hauer President Frederick w. King
Of the chamber read a testimonial
which had been signed by thousands
of Americans scattered throughout Ger
many.
The Ambassador seemed deeply moved
by the tribute to him.
On the Kellogg pact for renuncia-
ton of war. he said war is no longer
a part of the normal legal activity of
mankind. Henceforth all diplomacy
must be based on the hypothesis Of
abiding peace"

A census of radio receiving sets in
the United States will be made as part
of the 1880 population census.
Despite rejection by Congress of a
proposal that this be done, the advisory
committee of the Census Bureau, in
arranging questions to be asked by
enumerators, included a solitary in
quiry relating to radio. But it will go
long way toward supplying the infor-
nation as to the extent to which radio
is used in this country. Information

Angel or Pal?

A little while ago couple of writers
had a discussion on the subject whether
girl should be an angel in a mans
| life or a pal in his every day. existence.
One writer was a woman, who took
| the angel point of view, while the male
scribe voted the pal ticket. Now, which
was in the right?
Before we can get into the merits of
this question we must realize that the
girls of our day are not like their
mothers. They differ in dress, speech,
habits, occupations and points of view.
We call them flappers, which seems to
mean merely that they are young birds
which flap their wings before they be-
gin to fly like old birds who know the
air. But they are more than amateur
flyers. They are independent creatures
of twentieth century civilization.
Now, the feminine pattern of the
older generation which lived in the days
of Queen Victoria was the angelic one.
The present pattern of, say, the queen
of Rumania, is of the pal variety. Girls
and men, work together at similar jobs
and lunch at the same sort of restau-
rants, although not necessarily at the
same tables. This gives the pal idea a
boost, and vet it may not be a girls
pattern at all.
Can't a girl be both at once; that is,
DC d SNoL dArlAA oAlSCA Va oIlSC4AC PdL III
the life of the man she admires? And
is not this about what the man wants
when he settles down to the business
of thinking about woman's nature?
We imagine that men want us as COM
panions, since modern life seems to
place the sexes side by side, but the
heart of man still desires, if not yearns,
for the presence of a spiritual person.
atty in his life. He may not say this.
but he shows it.
But when I speak of the real girl as
something angelic in mans life don't
mean that she hovers over his head and
flaps her angelic wings in the air above
him. No; mean that she stresses
ideals rather than pleasures. the supe-
riorities of life instead of the common
places.
The alteration of woman is something
which has come down to us from the
age of chivalry and is not yet a thou
sand years old. OF course. our men are
not plumed knights who ride horseback,
for they are more likely to wear leather
coats and drive a car. But they can
still regard us in that spiritual way
which made the knight noble creature
in the sight of his lady love.
1t is mans concern for woman which
has made the world what it is today,
and if we are going to keep civiliZa-
ton from going to the dogs we've got to
be angels of some sort. Yes, the f1apper
must have angelic wings.

Your House.

A widow who has entered business
and seems to be making a go of it is
now beset with trying problem. She
finds 1t difficult to meet the payments
due on her mortgage. She has quite an
equity in the house and is loath to lose
any part of it. Holding the house is
well nigh impossible. What can she do?
She can do what many like her
should do to safeguard their capital.
She should get out of her house as soon
as it is practically possible and rent it.
Ordinarily the rent of house is equal
to the interest due on the total invest
ment. 1t may even be in excess of that
amount.
In other words. by reting her house
she will be able to meet all of the pay
ments due on it and probably have a
surplus for herself. Of course. some
will be asking themselves THAT may
be true, but won't she have to live
somewhere, anyway? She will still have
to pay rent"
1t is individually true that she will
have to pay rent, but she will not have
to pay rent that is back-breaking, one
that is prohibitive and one that drains
her resources. Nor will she be subject
ing her investment in the house to
severe risk.
Time after time we have observed
women so intent on saving their > es

ganized nervous arc. A strong nervous
current will soon modify the nervous
arc so as to diminish resistance.
Now, when this resistance is dimin-
ishing, or has been diminished, the
feeling becomes distinctly pleasurable,

great that it would have been painful

relatively lesSened. and hence gives the
impression of being pleasant by way of
contrast to the previous unpleasant
feeling
It follows then that the exceptions
are not really dangerous, because they
come at time when the individual has
already been sufficiently warned by the
previous intensely unpleasant feeling.
In fact. intense pain beyond the point
of warning is mere torture and serves
no useful purpose.
Pain arises as a result of the activity
of any organism when that activity be-
comes so great that it is injurious to
the organism. Fatigue arises whenever
a muscle has been used so hard and
so long that further use would be in
furious. Pain and fatigue make us quit
using the muscle.

or two is fun to get up. Dishes which
are new 10 prepare and new to the
family to eat are those which compose
the menu.
OF course, the one planning is
already familiar with certain prefer
ences of her public" and will know
beforehand that the dishes which cater
to those will be the most popular. The
real experiment is to have dish made
of ingredients which are seldom in
cluded in the routine diet of the
family and to see how it is greeted.
Here are some suggestions for dishes
not included in most menus. Baked
bananas, stuffed beef heart, spaghetti
with the genuine Italian meat sauce
and served as a course in itself. Fresh
peas and new potatoes boiled together
as they do in New Hampshire. Birds
nest salad, made from, coloring cream
sprinkling with red or black pepper,
mint jelly, Yorkshire pudding, jellied
vegetables in gelatin or aspic for the
hot-weather luncheon, corn pudding
from fresh or canned corn for veg
etable or main supper dish. If used
for the latter, corn pudding should be
accompanied by rhubarb. if the
meal is strictly vegetarian, and by
something like ham or bologna in small
quantity If 1t is not. Delicious as is
the corn pudding. it requires side
dish to bring out the flavor. Olives
may serve the purpose if the meal is
to remain very simple one.
For the family of size, crown roast
or baked or stuffed shoulder of lamb
is recommended. Marrow balls usually
prove favorites with children. A very
large beef marrow bone is in itself a
delight to those who are fond of this
delicate flavor. The bone is sealed with
flour at the ends and placed in the oven
when roast is being prepared or when
other cooking necessitates a hot oven.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

they failed to realize the one and best
way to save them. It seems In some
cases the idea of relinquishing ones
hold on place seemed tantamount to
losing 1T. In many instances women
were not fully enough informed or ca
pable of comprehending their situation
to seize upon practical solution of this
sort.
Too many women have formed the
habit of appearing helpless, trusting
some one would come along with succor.
So they have stayed in their homes
until they were foreclosed. This is
pointleSS and needless.
Sometimes women procrastinate about
getting out and wait until deferred
charges have accumulated to such an
extent that getting out will not enable
them to hold their house. They did
not get out in time. It is best to face
ones situation at once and recognize
the laws of necessity. Sentiment should
have no place in ones calculations.
Sentiment is sweet-voiced betrayer in
business matters.
II one were living at hotel and the
room rate was more than she could
afford, she would soon move out. She
has still more reason to vacate a home

invested, and which she may irretriev-
ably lose if she persists in vain and

Pain is usually unpleasant. Some
times it is pleasurable.
AS an example of a pleaSurable pain
recall the experience of poking sore
thumb in order to get the pain sensa-
ton.
This and similar examples are merely
exceptions which prove the rule that
pain is unpleasant. If all pain were
pleasant it would fail of its purpose,
which is to warn you of approaching
danger.
Pleasant feelings usually accompany
acts that are beneficial to the organism,
or at least are not injurious. Hence
We seek to prolong these reactions.
However. even a pleasant reaction may
prove injurious if overdone. Again ma
ture comes to the rescue by arousing
pain sensations when any pleasant act
Is carried to excess and in this way she
protects the organism.
But the question is, How can any
painful experience be pleasurable when
to be so defeats the object of pain as
a warning?" Here is one explanation:
The sensation of pain arouses great
resistance in the nervous pathways,
which Is caused by a strong nervous
current going through a poorly or

fruit cocktail, two altogether too
popular first courses at luncheons.
She put in a canape, even though she
knew a canape belonged properly in a
dinner. But the EXPLANATIONS of de-
light when the guests saw the canapes
made her feel she had chosen wisely.
After the canape came a hot chicken
mousse, garnished with small
amount of sailed whipped cream made
family pink by the addition of pimento
puree. She had new asparagus and
Melba toast. There was celery and
radishes.
Her dessert was a delicious combina-
ton of snowy white angel food topped
with strawberry foam. There was hot
and fragrant coffee.
The canapes were made by putting
wafer thin slices boiled ham cut oval
in shape on the individual plates-one
slice to plate. On top of each slice
