cigar and cane, "TeX" was the very
incarnation of mystery. This was no

He never sat in the midst or friends
and entertained them in a. loud voice or
stressed his success as a promoter. He
was too smart for that. He listened
and let others talk. He was quiet, soft
spoken and occasionally 'gummed up
the Kings English.

Cling with the hosts that SO frequently
swirled through Madison Square Garden,
Rickard listened. The customers were
his match-makers. Always he listened.
Richard always carried a batch OF
tickets in his pocket the night OF
contest, and many an old friend without
the price of admission found a comph-
mentary card slipped into his hand.
One day we asked the promoter to
speak over the radio with us. He tim
idly agreed to do so and a talk was
prepared for him to deliver. The night
of his scheduled appearance he failed
to show up. Instead, he dispatched a
friend, who said that Tex was i'll and
had requested him to read the manu-
script. We knew better. Richard had
been attacked with stage fright.
We shall not deal with his career

Another country is called to mind In

of making this soup. One Of the SIM
pleSt is TO cut five onions into thin
slices and fry in one-Quarter cupful OF
butter Tor more if needed until both
butter and onion are deep brown
Care must be taken not to burn these
ingredients. They should give nice
brown color to the soup and a delicious
favor. If thin soup is wanted, add
four or five cups Of water in which
chicken has been boiled. A thrifty
measure is to make this stock from the
carcass left from fowl or turkey that
has been served for meals. If the con-
somme is rich, five cups may be used.
Or for a cream soup substitute two cups
of rich milk in place Of the soup stock.

good size. in grated Parmesan cheese
and add to each plate just before serv

wanted, add one and one-half table

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

why am I scared to death of the
dead? Is there anything the matter
with my mentality that I am? I am
afraid it will drive me mad. DO you
think I'd go mad if there was death
in my own family?" And my cor
respondent answers her own question
by adding, II think So
Love of life and a moderate degree
of fear of death are a normal reac-
ton in young people. The curious
thing is that the old, whom we expect
to be afraid of death because they are
so close to it, are not as a rule afraid.
They have lived SO long that they
have outgrown the fear of death.
They are used to it.
Some authorities claim that elderly
people frequently develop a latent
instinct" for death. They think that,
when a man has lived his life. nature
mercifully puts him on speaking terms
with death so as to remove the horror
and dread of it ALL
It is therefore not at all unnatural
for the young girl quoted above to
fear the dead. There is nothing wrong
with her mentality, as is further evi-
denced by the fact that she stands
high in her school work She will
not go mad If some member OF her
family should die. The only posi-
bility OF nervous breakdown is in her
worry over her fear. If she will only
realize the plain fact that the fear
is natural to young people she will
worry no more.
1t is, however. true, as she has found
out for herself, that her fear of the
dead is more pronounced than the fear
usually found in people. This fear
probably goes back to early life, so
far back that she herself has for

Everyday Psychology
Psychology Of Religion.
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPRowLs.

Some psychologists specialize on re-
ligion. I here set down random brie1
statements selected from the writings Of
a few psychologists. Make your owl
comments, and if the spirit moves you
write me your opinion about the psy.
chology of religion.
/. Religion is flight from reality
(Freud)
piOuS auto-suggeStion." (Streeter.)
3. There is actually, at the present
time. very strong force of mass sug-
gestion in favor of secularism, so-called
rationalism and irreligion." edward. }
4. Psychology does not make a
genuine religious faith impossible. -
(Elliott.)
5. Religion is a safeguard against
insanity" (Schou)
g. Psychology has purifying effect
upon religious experience" (Jordan.)
z. THE religious life represents a
dramatization on a cosmic plane of the
emotions, fears and longings which
arose in the child's relations to his
parents" (Jones)
8. lit is not the business of psychol-
ogy in any of its departments to attack
or defend the objective truth of
religion" Bakery
g. The manner in which spiritual
results are achieved is immaterial in
comparison with their value" (Schou)
10. THE objective being or reality of
God does not stand or fall with any
particular conception held of God -
(Josey)
IL. THE horrors of the World War
can be traced back to the teachings
which set at naught the revealed truths
of the Eternal God" (Squires.)
IL. 1.-THE whole question of faith in
terms of infantile experience is based
upon an original postulate It is not
necessarily based upon facts at all"

When making a dress never de-

Before filling an oil stove cut a
round of muslin and place it over
the tube of the oil tank. It will
strain the oil and save much time
spent in cleaning the stove.
Brass beds may be easily cleaned
by rubbing them over with a
wooden cloth moistened with olive
oil.
To remove grease spots from
hardwood floors, cover the spots
with baking soda, let stand for
half hour, then pour boiling water
over them.

lected for it. OF course, the style Of the
shades on the fixtures in the room de-
termines, to a great extent, what should
be used for the bed light. Although this
may be individual, it should harmonic.
Georgette or chiffon could scarcely be
surpassed for the outer covering of the
shade the lining being good quality of
China silk and the interlining a heavy
quality of taffeta. The shade should be
thick enough so that the shape of the
globe is not plainly visible through the
covering.
Instead of three thicknesses. the
shade may have just two, both being
taffeta. The rufie should be of the
outer covering and the flowers Of taffeta
and satin ribbon. A shade like this
should not be used in boys room;
parchment makes better bed light for
that purpose.

gotten the incident or incidents which
led TO this fear. And then her con-
slant dwelling on the subject has
served to exaggerate 1t.
The early experience may have been
due to too vivid contact with the
dead, either an actually dead person
who startled her, or some story of re-
ligious teaching, or a deliberate attempt
on the part of some adult to frighten
her as form of teasing.
This correspondent represents q
relatively large group of people whose
fear of death is exaggerated through
unfortunate contact with it, The cure
consists in realizing that the fear Of
death Is the worst part, and then
to familiariZe ones self with the idea OF
death by realizing how common, nat
ural and necessary it is.

RUMANIAN Queen
DOESN'T SEE SON
Marie Goes Through Paris With
No Glimpse Of Prince

Paris, March Is R>-If Queen
Marie OF Rumania saw her Grant
son, Prince Carol. during her L.
hour visit here yesterday she did so
in strictest secrecy and Parisiens
generally know nothing of it.
The Rumanian legation today said
fatty, "The queen did not see Ca
roll" No one was found who actual
ly had seen Carol. and at the hotel
where he usually stays it was said
1t was believed he had gone to Nice
for the day.
Inasmuch as his mother and sis
ter, Princess Ileana, are known to
have changed their original plans
for visit to Brittany. to include a
stop-over at Paris for conference
with him--at his own earnest re-
quest-the situation baffled those
observers with an interest in Ru-
manian national affairs.
Queen Marie arrived here at $50
a. m, yesterday and went shortly
afterward to the home of Marshal
Foch to pay her respects to the
bedridden old soldier. but owing to
his serious condition she was not
permitted to see him. She made
three visits thereafter at the homes
of friends on the Champs Elysees
and the Avenue Bots dc Boulogne,
leaving with neana at $50 p. m. for
Saint Briac. near Dinard. to visit
her sister, the Grand Duchess Cyril
of Russia.
Carol and his mother may have
met at one of those three homes in
Paris visited by Marie. but 1t was
said the visit at each was so short
there would have been little time
for more than filial greetings had
such a meeting taken place there.
Prince Carol was not present at the
legation for the luncheon to Marie,
nor among the imposing group of
Rumanians who greeted the queen
upon her arrival.
The feeling was that Queen Marie
had been warned of the possible po-
litical consequences of meeting
and chose to forego it.
