A3Axl HOOVER WITH COOLIDGE ON
 CRUISER BILL
Sends President Sp eciaI Telegram Which Is
 Read to Senators
MORE STRIFE OVER
 LIMITATION CLAUSE
American zion Com mander Takes Sides
 War Issues Are Seen

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-A tele- gram from Herbert Hoover ex- pressing agreement with President .Coolidge's views, was read in tae Senate yesterday as the discussion on the pending cruiser bill turned to Coolidge's insistence that the cl ause providing for immediate construction of 16 warships be eliminated.
 The communication was address, ed to President Coolidge who sent t 10 the Senate
 Hoover Telegram
 My attention has been calied 70 2 statement respe, ting th pen ing cruiser legislation appearing in this mornings newspapers. | made no public or private state ment upon this question further than appeared during the cam paign.
 T have stated universally, to various callers, it would be i'm proper for me to express any views on current matters of the Adminis- tration. I regret if this reticence should result in misapprehension as you know I warmly support your views and you may so inform others, if you wish to do so."
 Brittens Action As soon as the telegram was read, Chairman Fred A. Britten, of the House Naval Committee wired Hoover he was sending a copy of the press release he gave out rep resenting Hoover as favoring a retention of the time clause, to show no offense had been intend ed in issuing the statement.
 Hoover's telegram was read in the Senate by Chairman Hale of the Senate Naval Committee.
 McNutt's Views
 Sunday night Chairman Britten issued statement representing Hoover as favoring retention of the time limit clause in the cruiser bill.
 Immediately after reading Hoo ver's telegram. Chairman Hale read communication from Paul Me Mutt, Commander of the American Legion, endorsing the cruiser bill and declaring that the former serv- ice men desired "steel ships and not paper ships"
 This brought a prot st from Senator Brookhart, of Iowa. who said it was obvious that Hale de- sired to offset Hoover's views with those of the American Le- zion. Furthermore, Brookhart de clared he did not believe all mem lbers of the American Legion fav- ored immediate construction of the cruisers adding that he doubted if former service men would support such "blood-thirsty proposal"
 War Construction
 The discussion of the cruiser bill occupied the Senate for the most part of yesterdays session.

have never liked the expression,
rank outsider" since it's bad enough
to be an outsider without having such
an adjective to boot. Such a creature
must be something like a purple COW.
Nevertheless, there are lots of people
who aren't in it, and yet they dom
get together to make another group.
No they are so many separate outsiders.
Whose fault is it if you and find
ourselves on the outide of the big tent
when the show Is in full blast and the
elephant is doing his heavy stunts? II
the case of the circus 1t may be the lack
of cash for the precious pasteboard
But In other shows it's the lack of some
thing else.
A great deal of our discomfort comes
from our being rank outsiders in the
community, or its little social groups.
where others, whose get-up isn't any
trickier or cut-up any smarter, seem to
be as much in the swim as Gertrude
Ederle was in the English Channel. We
aren't in it, so as we can notice it.
Now the first thing to do in killing
your own rank outsideness is to cease
being offish. When you draw back. peo-
pie think you want Ito be alone like a
solitary clam at low tide. We think they
are freezing us out. when We are taking
the air on our own account. We have
ourselves to blame for such frosts. If
we are frozen out, it's because we have
cold feet.
Nobody wants to push into tie front
seats, unless, of course, one is a social
climber But nobody wants to be gypped
out of all the fun all the time.
A certain amount of boldnesS Is nee
essary il you are going to get on the
inside, although it's holiness which
has to be expressed in a refined way. 1t
amounts to Just so much self-confidence
such as a society woman or a successful
business man enjoys.
You must be popular with yourself be-
fore you can make much of hit with
other people. You must really like to
hear yourself talk in the sense that you
must yourself enjoy what you are say
ing.
The kind Of singer who makes q hit
with me is the one who likes to sing and
likes to hear her own voice.
Perhaps you blame and pity and
criticize yourself more than you do any
one else. If you do these things, you are
a rank outsider from your own heart
Get into that and you'll get into the
swim.

agate and lapis-lazuli, he paused and
spoke. His words, as later reported by
Dr. Hilprecht. were:
The two fragments which you have

rings, and their history is as follows:
King Kurigalzu (about 1900 Be-
once sent to the temple of Bel, among
other articles of agate and lapis-lazuli,
an inscribed votive cylinder of agate.
Then we priests suddenly received the
command to make for the statue of
the god OF Ninib a pair OF earrings OF
agate.
I'VE were in great dismay. since there
was no agate as raw material at hand.
In order to execute the command there
was nothing for lis to do but cut the
votive cylinder into three parts, thus
making three rings, each of which con-
tanned a portion of the original In
scription. The first two rings served
as earrings for the statue of the god;
the two fragments which have given
you so much trouble are portions of
them. If you will put the two to-
gether you will have confirmation Of
my words. But the third ring you have
not yet found in the course of your in
vestigations, and you will never find
It,"
Upon this the priest disappeared.
Dr. Hilprecht awakened from sleep with
a sigh that also aroused his wife. She
saw him hurrying into his study and
heard him cry, ut is so, 1t is sol"
Following, she found him going through
the working copy of his book to verify
what the priest had told him IN his
dream, which he now described to her.
To his establishment, he was able to
build up from the fragments in his
possession, the following morning, this
inscription which had been made in
the votive cylinder:
ITO the God Ninib, son Of Bel, his

There is no scientific reason why fish
and milk should not be served together
at the same meal, Mrs. D. The only
point to be thought of Is that both these

there is not much danger of growing
boys getting too much protein, anyway,
for 1t is the principle necessary for
growth and repair. Boys and girls need
a lot of 1t. More, in fact, in proportion
than do adults.
This milk and fish combination buga-
boo Is on O par with lot Of other COM

scientific basis for them. The chief thing
to remember, about combinations" is to
see that the days combinations have

Unusual Parents of Celebrated Men
Gossps Questioned if Sir Robert Walpoe Was Father of
Celebrated Horace Walpole.
J. p. GLASS.

Sir Robert Walpole, according to
Alexander Pope,
Never made a friend in private life, :"
And was, besides, tyrant to his wife"
Sir Robert had made the wealthy
Catherine Shorter, Lady Walpole, be-
cause his estate was impoverished. And
while the prime minister INDUCED his
tastes he left his wife free to follow
her fancies. She moved In circle Of
her own.
To this is attributed the story-which
biographerS do not openly credit, but
which they always repeat-that not Sir
Robert, but Carr, Lord Hervey, was the
father Of the celebrated Horace Wal
pole, whose memoirs and letters have
given us a perfect picture of eighteenth
century life. emitting him to be called
the chronicler of his age. and giving
him unique and distinctive position in
literature.
People limited that Sir Robert was
actually dishonest. 1t was charged that
in building a palace on his old estate Of
Houghton he used public money.
One service that he performed before
he was forced out of Office in 1742 the
English people do not forget. He pre-
served st. James Park for them.

amounts Of boiling, sailed water. She
never used soda, either to keep the
green color or to hasten the cooking.
Soda does bad things to vitamins in
vegetables, and since we eat vegetables
to get those vitamins 1t seems foolish
to destroy there efficacy.
She discovered that cooking IN q
covered pan made the vegetable less
green. The confined steam faded the
green color.
BY the time the vegetable was tender
the water in which 1t had been cooking
was almost entirely absorbed and the
vegetables were still perky. They had
not grown limp and discouraged looking.
In serving them Nancy often made
combination vegetable plates, in which
color contrasts were charming-dark
green pepper, red tomato, golden brown
French fried potatoes, pale green
string beans or peas. And she avoided
pasty white cream sauces, often using
a soft yellow Hollandaise instead.

weaving without loom is one of the
simplest kinds of needlecraft. Threads
introduced appear to be actually loom

introduced precisely to the thread of

inwoven, or a fancy weave can look as

It is when patterns are brought out

The process is an old one revived and

chiefs.
A colored thread, corresponding in
fineness with that of the strands of a
weave In which it is to be introduced. is
knotted securely to the end of a thread
in the textile, wherever the worker
wants the color to appear. Then, very
carefully, the thread of the textile Is
drawn out AS this is withdrawn, the
new thread follows exactly the same
line Of weaving. and is really, therefore,
woven in without a loom being re-
quired.
If the textile has straight right-angle
threads, there will be no pattern
other than pin line Of contrasting hue.

lines may form band. These bands

may be grouped and be of differing
widths and even of different colors.
Generally, it is wise to leave one
strand Of the textile weave between
each row of the drawn-in Intervening.
In other words, introduce the colored
strands in every other thread OF weav-
ing and not in every one. This should
be remembered, especially when making
borders of many indrawn threads.
If the textile Is one with pattern, 1t
may be necessary to have consecutive
threads replaced by the in-draWn con-
trasting one. for so only can the design
be reproduced precisely in the new color.
The textile selected for this non loom
weaving should be firm, but not tightly
woven. Both warp and welt must be
strong, although the weave may be fine,
as In handkerchief linen. Round-thread
linen is best Of all, such as comes for
embroidery. 1t is excellent for napery
and for bags. I have made attractive
bags and table scarfs of a high grade
Of burlap, ornamenting 1t with this
thread drawn work.
A heavy thread can be introduced in
the weave effectively. This requires
two or four threads to be withdrawn,
according to the size Of thread to be
introduced. In this way the regular run
Of the threads Of the weave is not in
terrupted.

Everyday Law Cases
What Is the Duty OF a Guest in
Automobile as to His Safety?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Returning home from a dance late
at night, Samuel West fell asleep in
the automobile which was being driven
by his friend, Henry Randall. West
was familiar with the road, but Ran
dali was not, although the former did
not know this fact.
Approaching a curve, Randall found
it too abrupt to take and he was about
to drive into an adjoining feld when
he saw a telephone pole in his way.
Realizing that he could not pass the
pole, Randall endeavored to drive
around the curve and in doing so
struck the pole, West being seriously
injured by the impact.
On the ground that the telephone
company had negligently and carelessly
located q pole at a turn in the road
in q position TO be dangerous to
travellers, West sued the company for
$50, 900 damages for his injuries. The
company's defense was that II West
had not been asleep, the accident would
not have happened, as he was familiar
with the dangerous curve. 1t was con-
tributory negligence on his part, there
fore. not to have warned the driver.
west obtained a verdict Of $4,000
damages, the court stating:
"The general rule is that a person
riding in an automobile driven by
another is not absolved from all per-
sonal care for his own safety, but is
under the duty to exercise reasonable
or ordinary care to avoid injury. Ir
! this case. however, there Is nothing tc
show that West could have avoided
| the accident even II he had been awake
and he is entitled to damages"

might the alteration cost?" she asked
Sir Robert. He Willingly replied, only
three crowns"
His ailments filled his last years with
suffering. But he died resignedly, TAX
ing calm leave of his family.
Lady Walpole already had been dead
eight years. Horace remembered her
with deep affection always, because she
had petted and INDUCED him, while Sir
Robert had given him little affection.
She gratif1ed all his whims, even to
arranging that he should be received by
King George I when he was only 10.
1t was favor the monarch did not en-
tirely like to allow, because 1t might
establish precedent. But the impera-
tive Horace had been so persistent that
he be taken Ito see the King" that he
finally moved his mother to action. A
request of the prime minister's wife
could not be lightly disregarded, so
George had the child brought privately
at 10 o'clock at night, said few words
to him, patted him on his head, and
then sent him on his way.
The King was utterly unimpressive.
Nowadays he is completely forgotten.
But Horace Walpole still is highly i'm

BY J. p. GLASS.

DR.. Herman v. Hilprecht, at the
time professor of Assyrian in the
University of Pennsylvania, and IA
nous as an Assyriologist, attributed
his strange dream adventure-for it
was no less than adventure-to the
fact that his subconscious mind made
deductions from facts which his con-
scious mind had observed.
This may be true, but there will be
those who will assert that the old
Babylonian priest who came to him one
night as he slept, and helped him to
solve vexing archaeological problem
was a factor.
The priest-if he was one, and not
a mere Pigment of the Imagination
must have been dead more than 5000
years. The supposition of his reap
pearance after so long period seems
absurd.
For weeks the doctor had been try
ing to decipher two fragments Of agate
unearthed by one Of the members of
the expedition which the University of
Pennsylvania had sent, some time be-
fore, to Babylonia.
He thought the fragments belonged
| to a finger ring Of some ancient Baby
lonian. But he could not decide. for
the originals were not in his possession,
only d Nasty SkctCu having Uccn eeHI
In from the expedition. He only be-
lieved that from the characters pre-
served upon them they originated from
the Cassite period Of Babylonian his
tory, 100 to 1140 BIC.
AS he was preparing book, which
was then near publication, he put down
his observations in what he presumed
to be final form. One fragment, which
seemed to bear the character KU, he
ascribed to King Kurigalzu In one
place. On another page he placed the
other as undesirable. It being then
midnight, he succumbed to WEAKNESS
! and went to bed.
He was soon in deep sleep. Then
came his strange dream.
A thin, tall priest, about 40 years of
age, whom he judged to belong to the

First of all, she tried to buy the
freshest vegetables in the market. She
looked for those which had a fresh
color and some bloom left on the pod
or outer skin. She broke string bean
to see whether there was any snap left
in the pod. She chose peas with pods
that were comfortably filled and with
a fresh green color. She took q me

When the vegetables were home she
either put them in water until she was

She put them over to cook in small
