Famous Phrases
"No Man Is a Hero to His Talet''
BY vi. III. TILLITT.

TN a letter written to a friend IN
the seventh century by Madame
Cornuel Is TO be found the utter
ance: mo man Is a hero to his
valet"
The writer. a French lady OF rare
spirit and OF 'the best world" was
gifted IN the epistolary art Her let
ters through several decades Of the
seventeenth century are notable con-
tributions to the literature Of that
period. and they carry much that
throws light on the workings Of the
French mind through the stirring
and momentous events OF her time.
Anne-Marie Bigot Cornuel was
born in Paris when Henry Nv was
king. She died there eighty years
later-in the reign OF Louis XIV. In
the course OF her long life she was
given to witness great changes IN
France. In her girlhood she had
seen the lifting OF the shadow that
had been cast over her country by
the Huguenot wars. and ia the last
half OF her life she had witnessed
the rise OF the "Augustan era" that
was the glory Of the Fourteenth
Louis rule.
Madame Cornuel's father. NJ. Bigot.
had been Intendant or the Duke OF
Guise and was said to have possessed
great "vivacity OF intelligence"
which evidently was inherited by his
daughter. Her husband, NJ. Cor
nuel, was Treasurer de ~lextraordi-
naire des guerre"-and. while his
manner OF life was out OF harmony
with that Of his gifted wife, his posi-
ton gave her opportunity 10 "scin-
tillate.''

ent people l know who thought
they were going to solve all the
problems Of life by getting a di-
Torce.
There's Harriet-she was aw-
fully in love with Jack when they
married. but Jack got In with a CAV
set and took TO drinking, and
Harriet wouldn't stand that-no not
Tor a minute. So she divorced Jack.
and Jack went out and married a
little Flossie Fluff who drank a good
deal herself. and now Jack IS as
sober as q judge. and his wife does
al n drinking for the family.
Harriet married again too, and
fhis husband drinks harder than
Jack ever did. and he's mean and
over-bearing into the bargain.

nature and she knew hero-nature-

The letters OF Madame Cornuel

Sleeves GO to odd Lengths to Achieve Chic

Puff Sleeves, Capelet and
Cap, Long and Short
Sleeves, Vie for Fash
ions Favor.


THE arm Of Fashion has en-
braced many intricate sar-
torial gestures this season
and all designed to flatter FEM
ininity. AS a result sleeves
have been in a whimsical mood,
appearing in various lengths,
sometimes long, again short or
three-quarters. The one object
of the sleeve in the current
mode seems TO be to at least
partly conceal the upper arm,
consistently avoiding that bare
look that prevailed during the
bygone era Of severely plain,
sleeveless dresses. Although
the frock may maintain all the
cool comfort Of a sleeveless
model there is quite sure to be
a becoming little capelet sleeve,
a wide cape collar that slips
down over the shoulder or. in a
sports dress, a mere cap cut in
one with the frock.
Kimona sleeves are a natural ont
growth OF the current popularity of
the short sleeve. In fact, the alert
stylist evinces no surprise now when
a dainty sleeve appears in a most un-
expected place; a puff sleeve on a
nightgown Of fragile chiffon or again
on a formal evening frock. But il
has been left for the smart daytime
coat to bare the arm and retain ar
once its tailored dignity. Many OF
the newest coats, both of the darker
tweeds, monotone woolens. silks and
pastel flannels are cut without sleeves
but are attended by a capeiet collar
that overs the arm to a point lust
above the elbow. Of course. this
style has the added advantage Of per
hitting n to wear the long or
three-quarter length gloves that are
one Of fashions favorite accessories
this Summer.
A model characteristic of this tyne
which is suitable for both town and
country wear is that sketched todav
Of green silk crepe, sleeveless but
with a neat standing collar ard cape.
A daytime frock that has a chic
penchant for long sleeves is the black
foulard printed with white figures.
With a trim bolero jacket and a plain
white blouse with a softly draped
collar the model is one Of the indis-
pensable variety that may be worn
upon the street or at any dressy
afternoon f~estivity.

or not about 400 alleged residents of
the District of Columbia have a right
TO have their names placed on the reg
istration books of Anne Arundel County
Local Republican workers have traced
the names of this number of former
District residents on the suspect list in
several precincts of the county. They
claim these persons have rot the kind
of residence in this county which en-
titles them to vote here.
It is further alleged that in applying
for automobile licenses in the District
they have in each case certified as to
their residence there and consequently
they cannot have a residence in this
county
The persons whose right to vote in
this county has been challenged will
have their cases considered by the reg
istration officers in the precincts next
Tuesday. An appeal will lie from the
act of the registrars and the cases will
ultimately be settled by the court.
Those whose right to vote in this

The Treasury finished the first quar-
ter of the 1881 fiscal year with a sur
plus of $50 ,292, 255, approximately S3,-
100000 less than the surplus for the
same period of the 1880 fiscal year.
Total receipts were 1853, 940,213. Ex-
penditures for the three months ag-
gregated $816.64z,958
The receipts were about $4,000 900
less than collected in the first quarter
of the 1880 year, while the expendi-
lures were $150,000, 900 more.
The chief difference in the eXpedi-

British Delegates Score Failure to
Harmonic Pact and Covenant.
BY Radio to The Star.
GENEVA, Switzerland, october a.
The famous gap in the covenant
which permits war in certain circum-
stances-is as big as barn door today
as a result of the decision to delay for
another year the attempt to harmonic
the covenant of the League of Nations
and the Kellogg pact.
AS a result of this decision, most
governments of the world are still
pledged under one instrument, the
kellogg pact, to forSwear war eternally,
while under another equally sacred, the
League covenant, they are authorized in
some contingencies to make war. This
is construed at Geneva today by dis
appointed delegates who hoped to end
this anomaly as direct assault on the
validity of the Kellogg pact.
Both Lord Cecil and Philip Noel
Baker, British delegates, repeatedly in
sisted that failure to harmonic the
pact and covenant struck at the very
root of the American principle of out
laWry of war. Defeat of the harmoniza-
ton means that nations pledged to
outlaw war can legally make it. The
subcommittee, as whole, was unwilling
to put teeth into the Kellogg pact
that is, transfer its moral values to the
actual working of the covenant.

HAVANA, october 2.-Suspension OF
all constitutional guarantees until after
the national elections November l will
be asked tomorrow of the Cuban con-
gress, convoked in special session.
President Machado last night an
nouncsd his intention of calling con-
gress together for that purpose.
DR. Guam Incan. speaker of the
House, and Clement Vasquez Bello,
president of the Senate, promised him
their support in putting through an
authorizing measure.
To Meet Disorders.
The projected suspension of the con-
stitution would give the administration
almost carte blanche In dealing with
disorders during the prediction cam
paign.
In some quarters the presidential re-
quest was connected with a momentary
censorship imposed yesterday by the
government on outgoing and incoming
cable messages. The censorship was
withdrawn because it was found to be
without constitutional sanction. The
newspaper Ell Pals said censors in
spected all matter intended for then
columns prior to publication.
Police Methods Approved.
The President, in a manifesto, pro-
claimed his approval Of methods adopted
by police Tuesday in suppressing DEM
onstation of 300 students and others who
attempted to march on the presidential
palace. Six policemen and six stu
dents were injured in the fighting. One
OF the injured students died yester-
day.
Although the Machado administra-
ton has been firmly intrenched, q
growing opposition recently has made
itself felt and there have been severa
minor disorders. Opponents of the
government claim that free speech il

Approves Police Action.
The manifesto said it had been known
for several months that seditious propa.
ganda opposed to the economic life o.
the nation had been in circulation. The
government has watched with a careful
and prudent eye, the statement said.

Finds Self in Possession of Souvenir When Umpire Starts
Game With Another One.

the President for the group of pho
tographers took a ball from his pocket
and tossed it to Lefty Groves in the
pitchers box and signaled to play ball"
When President Hoover found him
self still clutching the ball he was to
have thrown out he looked about little
sheepishly anc discovering that no one
was paying any attention to him, he
slipped the ball in his pocket and gave
his attention to the game,
He is understood to have told his
friends later that he was going to take
that ball back to the White House
with him and keep 1t as one of his
souvenirs.
This interesting incident was learned
after the game was over when the
President was asked to settle the dis
pute as to whether or not he actually
threw out the ball. No one recalled
having seen him heave it, although it
was known he was scheduled to do
SO and his picture was taken while
posed in the attitude Of throwing the
ball.
