BY J. r. GLASS,

Matilda, daughter Of Baldwin, Count
Of Flanders, loved another and that is
why, for seven long years, she refused
to become the wife of her cousin, Will
liam Of Normandy. the warrior who was
to become the conqueror of England.
She had lost her heart to Brihtric
Meau, young English lord, who had
come to her fathers court on a mission
from Edward the Confessor.
The Englishman was handsome, and
so fair that he was called Snow. Proud
and naughty Matilda spread every vile
to make him love her. But he kept free
of her net.
Perhaps he had left his heart in
England.
However, Matilda hoped for a long,
long time. She had a will as strong
as could be. So she held out, although
william of Normandy pressed his suit
determinedly.
In the end he became bitterly ex-
asperated. One evening, riding through
the streets of Bruges, he came upon
her going home from church. He
leaped off his horse, gave the contrary
maiden a sound beating, and hurled
her into the gutter.
From the gutter, Matilda looked up
at her cousin with changed eyes. Alb
surdly, her indifference changed to
love. .
And you put 1t that way. my lord"
she said, heres my hand-and my
heart"
William is said never to have beaten

Washington for long before he has paid
a visit to two of his best friends.
One is jeff. The other is Kidron.
They are the generals favorite horses
Their home is in the Army stables down
near the Munitions Building.
JEFF is the mount presented to Gen
Pershing by the 1st Division at the
close of the World War. Kidron was
obtained from the French government
shortly after Pershing's arrival in
France to command the American
troops in the great conflict and saw
service with the general until the end.
Kidron is 10. They live a life of ease
now, for except when Pershing ex-
presses a desire to ride they never are
used.
OF the two. jeff boasts of the greater
reputation. His skill as jumper has
been something that Army men have
pointed to with pride for many years.
Maj. John G. Quackmire, a former
aide to the general, rode JEFF to most
of his victories in jumps. And they
were many. Before he became too old
JEFF had won blue ribbons and medals
Of all deScriptions-enough to fill a
good-sized box.
They say around the Army staples
here that he was a natural jumper and
that he enjoyed nothing more. Never
was his rider forced to punish him to
make a hurdle.
There is a story Of how JEFF was
taken to Rock Greek Park here one day
by a none-to-skilled rider "a high Army
officer. where other horses were jump
ing. Each time he would see one OF
the horses make a high hurdle JEFF
could only be held back by force.
Finally the rider decided to let him
take 2-foot jump.
Back horse and rider went, turned
and advanced toward the hurdlS JEFF
ignored the low barrier and leaped high
enough to clear one three times its size.
His rider doesn't know to this good
day how he manged to stay on.
But Gen. Pershing has decreed that
Jeff's jumping days are over Only a
short while ago he refused to permit
his horse to enter contest, declaring
that he was too old.
Kidron Is French thoroughbred and
came to the general from the race

Ham With Sauce,

Select a ham steak about three
fourths of an inch thick and with a
good amount of fat. While the frying
pan is heating, make sauce with two
tablespoonfuls of water. one-fourth cup
full of raisins, which have been soaked
in cold water for about an hour, two
slices of orange cut very thin, or a
little peach pickle juice, and two Ia
blespoonfuls of brown sugar. Mix these
ingredients until the sugar disSolves and
then pour the liquid into the skillet in
which the ham is to be cooked When

OUR CHILDREN
A Little Bare,
~ ANGELO PATRI.

Either ho1ses are getting smaller and
smaller or We are putting more and
more into them. Things are SC
crowded.
A little girl was having temper
tantrums and her mother was at heI
wits end to know what to do with
her or for her.
She throws herself down wherever
she happens to be and screams until
she is blue in the face. Somebody
crosses her, expresses a difference OF
opinion. refuses to give up something
or does nothing at all to her-and
away she goes. What is the matter
with her is more than 1 can say"
The child had perfect health as far
one could discover. But temper tan
trums have a cause so we searched for
this one We found that the child
owned II dolls, countless picture books
blocks unnumbered, three doll carriages
zoo-ful of toy animals, scooter, a
wagon, an automobile; things. and
things, and things. Her room was
clutter of things. The house was filled
to the doors with things.
strip her room almost bare. Leave
only the necessary furniture and about
three toys. Let life be a little bare
for a time and the child will find rest. a"
Very soon the temper tantrums van
ished.
A little child is very easily confused
Looking at too many things, handling
too many things, hearing too much talk
seeing too many people, brings on a
nervous irritability that results in tenn
per tantrums and other expressions OF
overweight nerves. For children
space is necessary. Space in the physi:
cal world first, then space In the mental
world follows. Space, open places
elbow room-this is essential to health

Too much of anything Is bad fol-

the teacher, give him some more

added until there is none Of the bless.
ed space where the spirit may f1no
refuge and the child is overweight
and unnerved.
Let life be a little bare here and
there. Provide for space. Give the
child a chance to use his imagination
in peopling places. in filling spaces
for himself. Let him invent toy
make up a story, dispose of his own
spare time, once in while. 1t Is
all the space there Is in a child'S life
physically or mentally.
It does a child no harm to work
easily within his powers with an oc-
casional burst of speed to keep. him
from stagnating. It let's him gather
power, store up energy for that &C.
casional burst of speed. If you fl
his space too full you speed him al
the way and there can be no occasion
al bursts Of speed, no glory of high
power for him. A temper tantrum
or Saint Vitus dance is the only refuge
left the too crowded child. Be wise
and leave his life a little bare here
and there.

Breakfast Food.

Boil one cupful hominy grits for 80
minutes. When done. add one cupful Of
bran and a few raisins. Cook for about
80 minutes longer. This may be cooked
when convenient and reheated by
steaming over boiling water in a wire
sieve or a steamer. This makes q de-
licious and inexpensive breakfast food
similar to an expensive prepared one.
This grit combination is de-
licious as well as economical and chill

way into the Capital in time to wit
ness the Inauguration. The quartet set
out.
The other two didn't get very far.
At Philadelphia they we're caught and
a justice of the peace sent them back
to Princeton. But Reed and his friend
pushed on. BY freight and trolley they
reached Baltimore. From Baltimore
to Washington they rode the rods, "
arriving in the cold dawn of March 4.
Both were hungry, cold, dirty and
broke.
Once here. young Reed started out
to get a check cashed. He chose the
most promising looking place and pre-
sented his demand for SIS.

factor asked gruf1y. looking first at the
check ana then at the two grimy faces
before him.

The two walked mournfully out into
the street. Later on in the day they
were fortunate enough to meet up with
q friend. From him they borrowed $50
and proceeded to enjoy the inaugura-
ton.
But they didn't ride the rods" back
They saw to 1t that enough was saved
out of the $40 for the train fare back
to Princeton.
This same Reed will be much in
the public eye for the next few months.
AS a member of the Senate finance
committee he has spent long and ardu-
Gus hours this Summer framing the
tariff bill for presentation when the
Senate reconvenes in August.
Upon his shoulders will fall much Of
the burden of waging the fight on the
floor. Coming from Pennsylvania, he
is. naturally, a high protectionist.
although it is an open secret that he
is sore at heart over some of the
schedules in the bill passed by the
House.
About s feet tall, slender, smooth
shaver and keen-eyed, he has every
thing about him that denotes man
of action. He speaks slowly and his
method of thought is direct and def
mite.
To talk with him is to be reminded
of the college professor. all of us have
known, who used to deplore the de-
cadence Of literature. He is one of the
most profound students of the Senate.
Senator Reed was jor during the
World War and is a crack rifle shot.
Using military rifle, he scored 245 out
of possible $50 and shot As bulls eyes

ATLANTA. Ga, March 1o.-(P)-
Battle against possible epidemics IN
the south's flood-ridden area, and
the gathering together of funds for
general use in relieving flood suf-
ferers occupied southern states to-
day. Last night in Alabama a
movement was started for a spe-
cial session Of the legislature to ap-
propriate funds for rehabilitation.
This morning Mobile had raised
$4,000 of a proposed $4,000 fund:
Montgomery had raised $4,000; the
Atlanta city council started a $50
900 fund with a donation OF $4,000.
Two newspapers and a radio sta
ton at Tampa are actively engaged
in raising money. In every instance
the Red Cross has charge of the
campaign for relief funds.
Anti-toxinS of all descriptions are
arriving on every carrier into the
stricken area. William Dekleine,
national medical director for the
Red Cross, is in active charge OF
distribution and use of p~reventa-
tiveS. The Salvation Army has is
sued an appeal extending through
out the south for clothing.
Throughout the flooded area,
with the exception of the Alabama
river and rivers of northwest Flor
ida, waters we're receding today.

POTATO PRICE
FIXED
Movement Still Small; Cab
bage Holding AT $40
With Light Loading

A price Of 81 f. o. b. for potatoes
was fixed by the directors of the
Rio Grande Valley Potato Growers
at their meeting Monday, and this
price is expected to be maintained
throughout the week, association
dealers paying growers $3.50 per
hundred.
Approximately Is cars Of pota-
toes will be shipped fro mthe VAL
ley this week, according to growers
and shippers estimates. The de-
mand is good and there is little
competition from other producing
points. Heavy movement of pota-
toes will get under way next week.
Cabbage price is still holding
around $40 per ton at all Valley
loading points, and shippers are
taking a more optimistic view Of
the situation as a result of the light
er loadings over the weekend and
Monday. Florida cabbage loadings
also have been reduced, only %
r moving from that state Mon
day. Shippers express confidence
that the price can be bolStered up
to SIS or $40 per ton if the crop
can be marketed in an orderly man
ner.
Brownsville shippers today were
quoting $3.50 to the growers for
green beans, and $1.00 per ham,
per for squash. Both Of these COM
mcdities are beginning to move in
increasing volume, but no straight
car movements have been report
ed.
There has been practically no va
ration in the prices for beetS and
carrots, Notwithstanding the load
ings the past two weeks have
smashed all previous records. The
demand is holding fair to firm, and
growers are receiving favorable
prices.
