Wise.Crackers of Courts and Royalty
Emperor Charles Liked to Joke With
Common People.
GLASS
BY J. p. GLASS.

At the Augsburg Diet Of 1547 the En-
peror Charles v Of Spain and Ger
many dined alone, but always before a
splendid company, which marveled at
the quantities he consumed.
He would allow no one to carve for
him. He did not use his knife himself
except to cut his bread into mouthfuls
or to loosen corner of the meat. He
conveyed his food to his mouth with his
fingers, holding the dish close to his
chin. According to chronicler of the
day. he ate 80 neatly and Clearly that
1t was pleasure to see him."
There was no conversation. But be.
hind his chair stood court fools cracking
jokes. These had to be good to make
half smiled.
He was a serious man with high aims,
and this probably was why he stood
above the two other great sovereigns of
the early part of the sixteenth century
Henry VIII Of England and Francis
OF France. His greatest concern was his
crusade against the Turks-that Is to
say, his war against ''tte infidel."
Charles was a tender-hearted man.
He, for instance, forbade that tent on
which swallow had built her nest
should be struck. Longfellow has made
this incident the occasion for a poem.
He liked to associate incognito with
ordinary people. A poor man, knowing
his democracy, appealed to him for aid.
We are all children Of ADAM" he
otis true we are" said Charles
wei, will send you brotherly gift"
This turned out to be leg Of mutt
ton: The beneficiary complained.
=. Brother" said the emperor, III all
the other sons of Adam send YOU as
much as do, you will be richer than L"
Once he went unattended into an
Inn. -Four thieves set upon him and
took his hat and coat. Then they de-
manded his gold chain and medal.
=. Permit me to show you how to use
the medal" said Charles sardonically.
He put 1t to his lips, blew a whistle
concealed IN 1t and brought his at
tendantS running. The thieves were
quickly hanged.
When the city Of Wittemberg sur
rendered to him, the Duke Of AlVa adj
vised him to take Martin Luther's body
from the grave and burn It.
Let him rest; wage war with the
living. not the dead" said Charles.
Ill health led him to abdicate in favor
OF his son Philip. He was fat and
equity and his body was covered with
marks Of poor health. He determined
to end his days In q convent.
During the ceremonies attending the
crowning OF his son, King Henry of
France sent him a letter of good wishes
by the Admiral Coligny. Charles
scarcely could open it with his equity
fingers.
"Am not a fine knight to break a
lance" he laughed, when can
scarcely open q letter."
About the same time he laid eyes on
Brusquet, the court jester. He recalled

Respect for Labor.

Little children are very destructive.
They will pull down the dishes and
laugh TO hear them crash. They will
tear books to bits. They will ruin their
clothes and toys. Destruction seems to
be their main delight. It Is at certain
phases Of their growth.
They must examine things and get
first-hand information about their
characteristics. In that way they lay
the foundation for most Of the educa-
ton that follows. We supply material
for that purpose and so save valuable
articles while accomplishing the work
Of teaching the child that all labor
must be respected.
That Is q big idea for a child. We
do not attempt to teach 1t directly. We
teach 1t indirectly by instilling the idea
Of carefulness In the childs mind. We
handle things gently. We put them
where they belong. We are not ex-
travagant In the use Of anything. we
respect property Of all kinds.
II child Is allowed to tear his books
ana smash his toys without hindrance
he learns disrespect for all property
and for the labor that creates property,
q very dangerous notion for anybody to
hold. II he learns to respect all prop
erty, balls and books and furniture
park lights, street signs, lawns and
gardens. he will be far more success
full citizen, far more successful BUSH
ness man, q better loved neighbor than
II he continued to waste whatever his
hands found to destroy.
The taxpayers have to replace broken
paneS in school buildings Every pane
costs money and every penny Of that
money comes out OF the earnings Of
workers. even from the pockets OF the
child's own family. Work ought to be
sacred against waste. Again that Is q
dimcult Idea for q child to get hold
Of, but If we keep teaching 1t by ex-
ample as well as precept he will get it
in time.
Experience is the best teacher here
as anywhere else. If o child Is old
enough to go to school he Is old enough
to know that breaking window panes,
marrtng walls, turning on faucets, In
juring trees, littering streets, Is q dis
graceful waste of labor.
The teaching must begin at home.
During the war we all learned lessons
IN thrift, In carefulness about proper
ty to whomever 1t might belong, for
we knew that all had to bear the bur-
den equally. We did not throw out
hats and shoes and clothing that could
be nended and worn again. We did
not tear paper recklessly and let It be
tossed about the streets. We gave
thought to things and the labor that
produced those things.
Keep that idea before the children

Everyday Psychology
81 DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Gestures.

Within recent years PSYCHOLOGISTS
have turned their attention TO gestures.
This phase Of human behavior is not
only the latest psychological fad, but
1t Is also one OF the most promising
neldS OF investigation. It seems that
ones personality Is connected with ones
gestures. And personality is, Of course,
the beginning and end of psychology.
There Is nothing causeless in the
world, so gestures must have a meaning,
even when they are performed auto
matically. One thing is certain-we do
not know the meaning Of a given indi-
viduals gestures unless we first know
the individual pretty well. It Is rea-
sonable to conclude. therefore, that we
ordinarily get more meaning out of a
known personality plus gestures than
we get out Of the gestures of an UNI
known individual.
In sense gesture is associated with
stature and avoirdupois. The little
IelIow makes more gestures than the
average sized person, while the large
man makes very few. This fact, which
any one may verify for himself, leads
TO but one concluSion-any form Of ges-
ture is an extension Of the personality
OF the one who does the gesturing. You
never see full-grown man making ges-
lures when he talks to boys. You find
boys making all sorts Of gestures when
they are trying to talk to men.
Most Of the supposed race differences
as revealed In gestures may be laid to
difnculties involved in speaking differ
ent languages. An Italian speaking
broken English will do q lot of eestur-
ing when speaking TO an Englishman
Put him with his fellows, and, If any,
thing, he gestures less than does ar
Englishman among Englishmen.
Putting it all together, we may say
that gesturing belongs to the psychol-
ogy Of compensation. In some cases II
means q compensation for personal de.
flciencies; in other cases a compens:-
| ton for inadequate speech habits.

Now, Harold Lloyd may have slipped
into the dynastic group with the ire
mendouS fortune he has accumulated
and the estate which he Is completing
but the men and women who surround
him on such days as these are the same
little group who began with him in q
modest way years ago. He has the
reputation OF being most faithful to
his friends, and the many whims which
sweep the colony never affect him.
Amelita CALI Curci is fitting about
the studios, inspecting sound parapher-
MALTA and altogether making sufficient
stir to warrant the story that she Is
about to sign up for q single. This
would have seemed absurd few years
ago, but not now, with the singing world
and its artists giving the new medium
the greatest respect and attention.
why not? The new mediums salaries
inculcate respect)
The village is gay with bright sports
costumes in the Winter sunshine. The
weather Is almost as warm as June in
midday, with a golden sun streaming
down and cooking the holly leaves and
cypress green's at the edges.
Hundreds OF the professionals Of the
colony stood last night in the thronged
aisles Of the village church to hear
Schumann-H eink. sing. One girl in
particular drew much attention. In
smart black, with a great sable collar
framing her golden hair, she leaned
against q holiy-hune pillar. a look of
ecstasy lighting her fascinating green
eyes-Blanche Sweet, alluring as OF
yore, in q village full Of new faces. A
glimpse Of the old standbys seems good
and Blanche Sweet dates back to the
Biograph days, If you remember those.
And one Of the best holiday Jokes
concerns q lot where executives are
recruited exclusively from the relatives
OF the chief. Included among them is
15-year-old boy who occupies the dig
nified post Of assistant director.
There is a huge cameraman of
middle age who has spent some 20 wears
OF his life about that studio. The
young sprout chose to exercise his au-
| thority on him.
Said the cameraman with a lordly
| air: I'll give you until after luncheon
to apologize for that. II you don't
apologize, I'll take your trousers of
before all the people
After luncheon the sprout came onto
the set feeling very important. Some
500 people were in the scene, and word
OF the feud had gone about the set.
Wei. are you ready to apologize?"
SAID the cameraman.
The sprout smiled hiply. Come OF
your perch" he twitted. I'm the
nephew Of the owner here"
on come your pants" roared the
cameraman, and picking him up in one
hand, zipl he peeled of his trousers
with one fine gesture.
And when some village producer gets
an audience to laugh as that one did
he'll have real comedy.

MY Neighbor Says:

When preparing lettuce for
salads, first remove the core or
stem, then hold the head under
the cold water faucet until the
water separates the leaves.
Instead of baking custards in
the oven, try cooking them in
cups placed in a kettle Of water
on top of the stove. If the water
is kept boiling. the custard will
be perfectly cooked.
A poached egg will cook much
better if a few drops of vinegar
are added to the water in which
1t Is cooked.
Weather-strips fitted to doors
and windows will keep out the
cold and make your house consid-
erably warmer.
