One of the most striking stories of
buried treasure in Mexico relates to
the fortune which Francisco Villa is
asserted to have concealed in some
remote spot in the Sierra Madres
Villa made number of large hauls
from banks, stores and private indi
viduals from time to time. In the
city Of Chihuahua he found S5O0,OO0
of gold coins concealed in one of the
hollow pillars in the vestibule of the
Banco de Mineral and he carried the
money off into the mountains. During
the brief time that he and Emiliano
Zapata, the Morelos bandit, were in
joint control of Mexico City, they
were said to have depleted the ma

Mans Business and Woman's.

A professional mans wife appeals to
us for sympathy. She had begun al
most at once after her honeymoon to
dictate to her husband his charges
and who should be excluded from his
list of clients. OF course, friction de-
veloped, and the mans clientele SUI
fered.
we doubt II any woman Can put her
fingers into her husbands business or
profession and not bring them out
crushed or burned.
Imagine your husband staying at
home and overseeing your own activ-
ities-dictating to you how. your
housework should be done, what trades
men to patr0nize, what to pay Tor
peaches and greens, and how to pre-
pare and cook food for serving your
The condition would soon become
intolerable, and you might be pardoned
If you made traditional use OF the roll

It is Just as insupportable for man
whose wife's interest in his business or
affairs becomes dictatorial.
In the case of physician, dentist,
or any other professional man, his fees
are often fixed by custom. He cannot
readily change them. especially with old
clients or patients, without meeting re-
sistance and even antagonizing some
Of them.
In the case of clients and patients
they usually recommend one another,
and to exclude one or to be loath to
serve or attend him may offend several:

Long Lashes.

Can any girl have long eyelashes? 7
think so. It does not take very much
time to care for them, rub them with
nourishing oils, keep them brushed and
clean.
If you powder your face, even lightly,
your lasheS will take up q lot of the
powder. Being little oily, the powder
will cling to them. This isn't necessa-
rily harmful, though it does mean that
your lasheS will cease to look glossy and
thick. So, after you have powdered your
face and are ready to go out, take the
least bit Of nourishing cold cream be-
tween your finger and thumb and rub
the lashes with this. It cleans off the
powder, makes the laSheS shiny again
and apparently much longer and thick
er than they were. Besides, this thick,
oily cream is good for them.

A Sermon for Today

On Taking Advice.

Text: Every purpose is established

advice is seldom welcome; and those
who want it the most always like 1t
the least" wrote Chesterfield. Says
another, I'VE give advice by the bucket,
but take it by the grain"
Many refuse to receive advice from
others, because they think to do so
would be an admission of inferiority.
But he who can take advice Is some
times superior to him who can give it..
Moreover, as Rochefoucauld writes,
There Is nearly as much ability re-
uuired to know how to profit by good
advice as to know how to act for ones
SELF
It is foolish conceit to disregard any
good advice, no matter from what
source it comes. The worst OF men
often give wholesome counsel. a Top
sometimes gives important advice. Even
an enemy may impart counsel to which
we would do we'll to give heed.
No man Is so wise but he may easily
err, If he takes no other counsel than
his own. He that was taught only
by himself had a fool for a master"
said Ben Jonson. Certainly the man
Is foolish who turns a deaf ear to
counsel from others. AS Franklin said:
"They that will not be counseled can
not be helped. IF you do not hear
Reason, she will rap your knuckles"
Instead of refusing good advice. we
should seek 1t. It cannot be other
than to our advantage to get all che
help we can through counseling with
others. Well does Burke say: HE who
calls in the aid Of an equal under
standing doubles his own; and he who
profits by q superior understanding

Straight Talks to Women About None
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

An architect is not always in a posi-
ton to decide whose homes he shall
or shall not build. Physicians, dentists,
lawyers and others cannot always be
any more discriminating.
There are times when a husband and
wife can talk over this sort of problem
amicably and there are times when a
professional man reSentS q discussion
OF his affairs. Unfortunately the wife
is directly concerned by her husbands
method Of conducting his business or
professional affairs. And man Is only
q cad who does not take first into con-
sideration the safety, comfort and peace
Of mind Of his wife and those depen-
dent upon him.
But were not the conditions the
same before marriage, and was his In
come not about the same? II there is
to be any change in his business or pro-
fessional methods, change before mar
riage would be more conceivable. There
is relationship between professional
man and his client or patient that is
somewhat more than q business con-
tract. There is a question of ethics
which many professional men; even in
this material world, prefer to answer
conScientiouSly. Some professional men
are busineSSlike and others are not,
but we doubt If wives can do much to
change the character Of those who are
not, even when 1t seems expedient.

Potatoes and Peas.

The peas may be shelled and the
potatoes scraped or pared the day be-
fore or several hours in advance II
kept in cold water. Cook two pounds
of fresh peas for about 20 minutes in
two cupfuls Of cold water to which one
teaspoonful Of salt has been added.
Cover two pounds Of new potatoes with

salt, and boil gently until tender.
Drain, then shake dry over the fire.
Melt six tablespoonfuls Of butter in the
upper part of double boiler, then add
six tablespoonfuls of -four and smooth
to q paste. Add two cupfuls Of milk
gradually, stirring constantly, and cook
until thick and creamy. Combine the
peas, potatoes, and the cream sauce,
season to taste, and keep in a warm
place until serving time. This COM
bination has q better flavor If the peas
and potatoes are allowed to remain in
the sauce for 20 minutes. Place dashes
of paprika over the top and serve In

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

In everyday language. fright and fear
are very often regarded as the same
emotion. They are, as a matter OF
fact. two very different emotions. At
all events. they display more differences
than similtarities.
Fright is q sudden response to O sud-
den danger. real or imagined. mostly
real. No state Of fright lasts more than
q few moments. Just long enough 1or
the affrighted animal or man to get MS
wits together. to summon his past expe-
riences with similar situations ana con.
sciously to study out some form Oh
escape. A frightened state always I'M
plies knowledge. Those who tremble are
still in the frightened state. still won
dering what it all means. stu figuring
out how to get away.
A state of fright. then, is at once the
emotional preliminary OF escape ana the
intelligent outlook on the situation.
When q person trembles he Is merely
running in every direction at once ana,
of course, gets nowhere. He merely
trembles with agitated feelings and con-
Trajectory deductions about the sltua-
ton.
Fear is q slow response to q gradu-
ally increasing sense Of impending dan
ger. AS In the cast Of fright, the dam
ger may be real or imaginary. mostly
imaginary.
and magnifies his anticipation. Fear
and ignorance join forces at that point.
But fear belongs to the emotional level
of consciousness. while ignorance be-
longs to the intellectual level. Ignorance
is really the intellectual level reduced
to zero. When q person fears he knows
little, and therefore imagines much. In
a state of fear everything is a mystery.
This state may last for days and even
weeks. It's influences on the body are
subtle, but none the less profound.
Prolonged fear gradually shifts over
into that chronic state Of emotional
disturbance known as worry. This up
sets the normal balance Of the secre-
lions Of the ductless glands-the adre-
nal glands and the thyroid gland in
particular. Puzzled with fear. the In
dividual does all his reacting on what
might be called the vegetative level Of
existence. rather than on the intellec-
tual level. Lassitude. fatigue and finally
loss Of strength complete the picture
Of a prolonged state Of fear.
