BUTLER WINS

Dantes Bellegarde, Hal ian minister
to the United States, is no Mussolini
Mr.. Bellegarde has lost his argument
with General Smedley Butler, over the
matter of whether or not the general
captured Fort Riviere in Haiti for
which he was awarded the congresson-
al medal of honor.
Some weeks ago the minister was
quoted as saying that the fort never eX-
listed and insinuated, to express it mild
ly, that the general obtained the medal
for something he never accomplished.
Following protest by American auth
critics, Minister Bellegarde has submit
ted formal note to the navy depart
ment, for transmittal to General But
ler, in which he explains that he was
misquoted and had no intention of cast
ing aspersion upon the generals record.
Out of three recent battles the gener-
al has this one to his credit He lost the
bout to Mussolini and he also. lost the bout
to the radio which cut him off during a
speech when he used the short and ugly
word to describe the internal regions.

eral becomes involved.

Everyday Psychology
III On. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

Egos.
Your ego Is your secret self. The self
no one understands except through
subtle cues from your behavior. Nat
urally there are as many sorts Of egoS
as there are individuals. The following
types are rather common:
/. The tender ego. The possessor Of
tlIis type is easily hurt and hard to
soothe. Such egoS represent the most DIFF
f1cult of all types to analy2e and control.
The possessor often fights against his
frailty. But generally in vain. Tender
egoS seem TO be the end-result Of early
ppointmentS.
g. The expanding ego. The possessor
is his own worst enemy. He thrtveS best
under adversely. It will never do to ad-
vance him very rapidly in positions OF
trust and confidence. He Is almost sure
to betray both.
8. The expectant ego. The person
who has this type is always on the look
out for something he does not earn.
In some respects such people are the
most difficult of all to handle. They
are representatives Of that large group
of pampered infants, who later become
problem pupils in the schools and gen.
eral soreheads in everyday life. Many
a good business has been spoiled by
them.
4. The name ego. Nothing lies quite
as close to persons own sense OF self
as his name. We all need TO be handled
carefully on that subject. The real name
egoist, however, constitutes rather
harmless sort Of individual who takes
names so seriously that he Is likely to
Judge you by your name 70 the total
exclusion Of any vice or virtue.

A Sermon for Today
By REV. JOHN Il. GUM.
Steering Apparatus.

Behold also the ships, which,
though they be so great, and are driven
by fierce winds, yet are they not turned
about with a very small helm, WHITTIER
soever the governor nsteth. James.
iii.4.
We never see ships sailing the seas,
driven by the winds. without q helm
and a pilot with his hands set thereon
to guide them whithersoever he listeth.
Yet, when 1t comes to human ships
launched upon the sea of life, we hear
much talk these days about following
nature" wherever its currents and tides
may take US. We have become quite
familiar with such terms as freedom
of expression" and the philosophy OF
animalism which is responsible for
much Of the moral looseness in our
modern social life. The trouble with
this philosophy IS that it does not take
Into account our whole nature.
Suppose should say about o steam
ship, 1.-The structure of this vessel
shows that It is meant that we should
build a roaring fire in the furnaces, and
set the engines going at full speed, and
let her go as she will" Would ! not
have left out of account that there was
steering apparatus, which was as
plainly meant to guide as are the en-
gines to drive? Do not the rudder and
helm imply pilot?
We see at once what this means, ap-
piled to the structure of our nature.
Our modern advocates of license fail to
take into account that there is in our
nature steering apparatus. Our pas
sions are not vices. They ere an eS-
sential part Of us. They constitute our
driving force. But what are conscience,
reason and will for? Are they not as
obviously meant to guide as are our
passions to drive? Do they not imply
q pilot? Clearly enough, the very make
Of our souls is suggestive of subordina-
ton and control-the man to govern
the animal
Ships were meant to be plotted
"whitherSoever the governor nsteth."
Watch where your ship sails. Take
Gods word as your chart and compass.
Let Christ be your pilot. With Him at
your side, His hand upon yours, hold
fast the helm-use your steering ap-
paratuS.

sionally one of the pictures IL bought.
They are sold at such high prices that
only an occasional sale is necessary. A
good deal of elaborate social prestige Is
involved. In addition to the quality OF
the paintings you have to wrap the
thing around in certain dignity and
you have to get newspaper publicity.
It's difficult job and there are only a
few like it in the world.
B. G.. goes on to say in her letter:
"My point is that think that II you
have an exceptional faculty you ought
to capitalize it. I did. My ability to
make friends and to hold them, and my
good memory, which f1atters people and
enables me to remember their particular
likes and dislikes, helped enormously.

B. @. is right and so am I. Naturally,
II you have a special talent. you ought
to capitalize 1t. But most of the people
in the world have no special talent.

The essential touch Of color In your
new Spring street costume may be pro-
duced by one of the new colorful striped
silk scarfs. And If you want to be quite
up to date you should have an envelope
purse to match. Sets Of this sort may
be bought at many of the smart shops
or If you like you may make one your
self.
For the scarf shown In the sketch you
will need q strip Of the colorful striped
silk with similarly shaped strip Of silk
of light neutral tone, and then If you
like you may add piping Of dark silk
to match your suit. If you have brown
suit your striped silk might show shades
of beige, orange and brown. The lining
should be beige with a piping to match
tho brown of the suit.
Is make bag of convenient size you
will need strip Of the striped silk
about 8 inches wide and 20 inches long.

To cook a ham so that It will
