dreams Of a romantic figure breezing
mysteriously into their commonplace
circle were dissipated into thin air.
Ginger was practical enough to adj

Marjory was her Waterloo. MarjOry,
beautiful peach-bloom Marjory would
marry minister, and her future
would be that of catering to Meth
Odist church, and parsonage mini

In that hour, Ginger Ella rose to
great heights Of remuneration. She
relinquished all her dreams Of for

her beautiful sister. She would be
satisfied to see her merely happy.
She smiled. She went doYn the

in twenty days the record month OF
January. The stature of the February
achievement may be further appreci-
ated by comparison of this figure
with 1916 used cars sold during the
corresponding period of February last
year.
In commenting on the achievement,
officials pointed out that it was made
possible through the public confidence
that has been built up by Chevrolet
dealers through the general policy of
offering for sale only dependable mer-
chandise. They explain that through
the widespread use of the red tag

Apples that are steam baked win
have skins more tender than those
baked uncovered. The fruit will not be
shriveled and the pulp win be firm, I'M
less the apples are in the oven too long.
The length Of time needed to bake the
fruit perfectly depends entirely upon
the size of the apples, the temperature
of the oven and the variety of the fruit.
Small Baldwins, If cored and baked in
a hot oven, may take but 20 minutes,
while extra large Tolman Sweets, or
greetings, in a slow oven, may require
pies with a two-tined fork or sharp
metal skewer it is easy to know when
they are tender and should be taken out.
The simplest recipe for baked apples
is as follows: Select ripe apples OF APP
proximately the same size, wash, and
core them with an apple corer. Place
in q shallow baking dish Ca pie plate
is excellent) and fill centers with gran
ulated sugar. Two tablespoonful in
each is enough for greetings or Bald
wins. No sugar is used with Tolman
Sweets or other really sweet apples. To
each six apples allow one-third cupful
water. Put in a moderate oven and
bake until tender. Serve hot or cold.
Apples may be basted with sugar and
water strip made of one tablespoonful
sugar to three-quarters cupful water.
Basting keeps the skins tender.
To steam-bake apples prepare as
above, put in a pudding dish with a
cover. Allow one-quarter cupful water
to each six apples. Cover and bake in
a hot oven until tender.
Richer baked apples are made by
putting a dot of butter on top of the
sugar in the core cavity. BY sprinkling
cinnamon over the apples spiced baked
apples result. II Glove favor is pre-

BIZ MIMI.
Prelude to Peace.

There is no more convincing evidence
of the impotence of mans mind than
the fact that war has existed since
history began and has come down the
ages to plague every generation some-
where, some time or other, always.
This weary old world, as q matter Of
fact, has never known absolute peace;
and yet, in our optimism, we hope for
the day when mans mind will find the
way to lasting and untroubled uni
versal amity.
The instinct to war is rooted deep in
both man and animal, but man, pre-
sumably, is civilized only to the degree
that he subordinates his instincts to
the control of his intelligence The
question, then, may be asked: Is man
intelligent?
Historys answer is an emphatic mo"
- There will, therefore, be wars in the
future-unless we deliberately blind
ourselves to the significance of the
past. To denounce war and hate it,
and who does MOTIFS not enough. We
can contend with it, and succeeding
generations, perhaps, dispose of it, only
by recognizing 1t as reality Of life.
If man, at this stage in history, is
still unable to get along in the mass,
one group or nation with another or
others, there is evidence that he can
sometimes get along as an individual.
And again it is a question Of subordi-
mating the instincts to the control OF
the intelligence.
We harbor too many illusions about
war. It exists In our daily lives. II
the butcher overcharges us or gives us
short weight we declare war upon him,
in certain sense. But it is not war If
we exercise our intelligence and control
our instincts. We then deal effectively
or as effectively as possible-with a
regrettable fragment Of reality.
1t is thus and so, too, in marriage.
There Is nothing man desires more
than the perfectly happy marriage. But
does mans mind always prevail over
his instincts, even in marriage, his
greatest concern? Look to the records
Of the divorce courts. Listen to the talk
In your neighborhood Examine your
own life. Do you not declare war, at
times, upon the person you most love?
Unless you both interpoSe an armistice,
there would be destruction misery, I'm
happiness. 1t would be war without
end.
Peace must be earned. It is not q
gift or an accident any more than
happiness is. 1t is the direct result of
the control of our instincts by our
intelligence. And the history of man,
as an individual, proves that this is
possible.
As for war, in its broader sense. it is
my conviction that 1t will be abolished
from the face of the earth only when
every individual has proved that he
can get along in peace with every other
individual.

Royal Murders and Murderers
Emperor Augustus Killed Folks for Most Trivial Reasons
r. GLASS.
By J. r. GLASS.

Caius Octayius Caesar Augustus,
first of the Roman Emperors, was ac-
tuated to many murders by suspicion
For in his youth, being the nephew of
julius Caesar, he was the object OF
more than one plot of assassination.
Later, in his days of power, he sus-
pected every one.
A great soldier and a great admin
1strator. he was possessed by many
fears. He disregarded no omen. Thun-
der and lightning he dreaded so much
that, Immediately storm appeared to
be coming on, he retired to shelter.
underground If possible. He carried q
sealskin with him to be put on for
preservation from lightning.
Here are some of the things he did
in the way of numbering:
One day, while making a speech, he
saw Pinarius, a Roman knight, taking
notes. He at once ordered him to be
stabbed to death as spy and busy
body.
Tedius Afrer, consul-elect, criticized
an action OF Augustus. The latter made
threats in return. Tedius, knowing
they would be carried out, threw him
self from great height and killed
himself
Quintus Gallius, the praetor. came
to compliment the Emperor on his VIC
tories. Under his cloak he carried q
tablet which he intended to present at
the proper moment.
Augustus saw he had something I'M
der his cloak. He imagined it was a
sword; but pride kept him from MAX
ing search lest he should find some
thing else. Instead in the midst of
the praetors laudations, he was, on
the order Of Augustus, seized and drag
