It is a matter Of ancient controversy
IS to whether or not character may be
judged by appearances. Is the express
sion Of q mans countenance q reliable
index to his nature? Cicero said, "The
countenance is the portrait Of the soul"
Coleridge believed, There Is in every
human countenance either . history or
q prophecy" George Macdonald held,
What q man IL lies as certainly upon
his countenance as in his heart" And
Thoreau declared, I'VE are all sculptors
and painters, and our material Is our
own flesh and blood and bones. Any
nobleness begins at once to refine
mans features, any meanness or sensu-
ality to imbrute them" But Bret
Harte, a skilled reporter If there ever
was one, wrote: Physically, they ex-
hibited No indication Of their past lives
and characters. The greatest scamp
had o Raphael face, with profusion
Of blond hair; oakhurst, gambler, had
the melancholy character and intellec-
tual abstraction Of q Hamlet; the cool
est and most courageous man was
scarcely over five feet In height, with

@. Please give history Of the develop
ment Of candy-making-R. A.
A. Until the beginning of the nine
teenth century the art Of making
sweetmeats was practiced chiefly by
sugar and honey to conceal the taste
OF their medicines. During the earlier
half of the nineteenth century the art
Of candy-making was an English spe-
cialty. In 1881 an international exhibi-
ton was held in London, and the
unique collection Of candies there ex-
hibited attracted to this industry the
attention of other nations, especially
Germany and France. The latter soon
excelled all other countries in the art
of making chocolate bonbons. In the
United States as early as 1916, there
were 20 candy factories In the city Of
Philadelphia and probably as many
more in New York.

the same misplay has been made pre-
viously without penalty?-C. 8.
A. It Is fair. Players are not obliged
to exact penalties. But the fact that
some players are too easy going or neg.
ligent to do so should not influence o
player who chooses to demand PEN
atty. All players should be prepared
to pay penalties cheerfuliy when guilty
Of infractions Of the rules.
@. What are feeder air iines?-
A. II. r.
A. They are spur lines that are
branches or short lines which connect

lar from September TO January, while
capons-6 to 8 pounds-are usually
found In market in early Spring.

In world welfare and particularly In

OF our people il dependent upon the
successful issue Of the great causes Of
world peace, world disarmament and

dent Hoover, and he adds: "Such solu-

lands across the seas and for other

alone can bestow is likely to look upon
the phraseology Of the Presidents mes
sage as fine words that butter no

the message lays upon the paramountcy
of Americas domestic problems-in the

Blossoms extended for two inches
along few Of the branches Of the
Forsythias.
Leaf buds appeared on boughs oi
the common lilac.
Red tips Of peony shoots came
through the soil in q neighbor's yard.
These manifestations Of Nature were
brought about during the first days OF
December, as q result OF the unsea-
sonably warm weather.
While interesting to home garden
ers, they could not be called welcome
for they spelled harm to the plants, to
some extent, at least.
Evidently the children of Nature on
roots have no way Of knowing the
times Of the year except by tempera-
ture
warmth means Spring, to them, even
In Winter.
These untimefy displays seemed ali
the more strange, since they followed
hard upon SeaSonably cold weather In
late November.
The entire latter half Of that month
in fact. had seen temperatures such as
one would expect to encounter in this
vicinity.
A few days of warmth, however, and
the latent power in bud structures, hi6
within the very marrow OF plants, as
1t were, pushed outward to the light
and air.
Music in the air" so went thu
title Of popular song of many years
ago.
Warmth in the air. such is the
truly popular song Of the plant world
Rain, as necessary and desirable as
1t Is for the best growth, must come
second to the proper air temperature
Even soil itself, an essential, can dc
nothing without heat.

Amateur gardeners need not worry
overmuch about the LII effects of un-
seasonable heat, as extreme as such
manifestations may seem at the time
Nature Is very old, and has been ex-
periencing like oddities since time
began.
It is curious, Is 1t not, to contem-
plate o human being getting into q

has been happening for q million
years2
Yet It is extremely human for him
to do so.
AS he looks at his branch Of For

SONS only three weeks before Christ
mas, he Is inclined to feel that his
bushes will be ruined If this thing
keeps up.
Before he took UP gardening, as a
side line to home owning, he paid lit
tie attention to shrubs, except to ad-
mire them in bloom In the parks.
It Is personalized interest which
counts IN this great world.
Nothing comes home to one until
one actively becomes interested in it.
That Is why 80 many persons look at
things, especially works of art of all
sorts, actually see them, comment on
their beauty, and yet never really see
them at all
Looking ct something and seeing 1t
are two different things.
Just because some one looks at some
thing or other, and passes a comment
on it, does not in the least mean that
he has looked ut 1t, In truth, or seen
1t, in reality.
This Is what Is meant by the old
saying, None Is so blind as he who will
not see."
Until the personal interest enters, the
poor fellow cannot see
He IS denied the eye of the enthu-
siast.

sons, no doubt, who, like the fortune

Constellation Is the
Oldest u. S. Warship
no the Editor on The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
In The star Of November as, 1882,
appeared the statement that the
U. 8. s. Constellation was built
in 1885," Chap. TX, vol. 1, Of Mai Ed
win N. McClellan's History of the Ma
rine Corps states that "the United
States was launched in July, 1897, the
Constellation in September and the
Constitution in october, Of the same
year. Chap. Xxx, vol. /, Of the same
history tells us that "the first three
ships Of our new Navy were the United
States, Constellation and Constitution
The latter two are still afioat, the Con-
stellation being our oldest warship in
existence" Further, that the United
States, broken up In 1854" at the Cos
port (navy Yard, and the death Of
the United States thus left the Con-
stellation as our oldest warship."

End Of the Hunger March" I"

This morning the last Of the ''hunger
marchers" who arrived here on Sunday
left Washington. Their departure, like
their coming, was orderly. They &C.
complished their purpose in coming tc
the Capital. They presented their Pc
tition for relief at the hands Of Con-
gress. They were permitted to march
through the streets with q display OF
their banners and to chant their de-
mands. There was no disorder at any
time. The radical promoters Of this
demonstration, while achieving the
publicity which was their primary OBJ
ject, were disappointed in failure to
provoke . conflict in which the be-
guiled participants In their enterprise
would have been the chief victims.
In the handling OF this situation
credit is due to the District authorities,
and particularly to the police. Credit
is especially due to Maj. Brown, super
intendent of police, for his effective
planning and the selection Of place
for the assemblage Of the marchers and
for the management Of the public
demonstration.
It was q wise decision to permit the
marchers to parade through the streets
with small group Of Representatives
presenting their petitions to the presid-
ing officers Of the two houses Of Con-
gress, There was no denial Of con-
stitutional rights" although the thou
sands Of petitioners were themselves
kept at distance from the Capitol
The parade through the city was a ges-
ture for which there was no actual war
rant In law, but which It was advisable
to tolerate. Il added nothing to the
force Of the demands Of the rnarchers
and 1t afforded the public an oppor-
tunity to see at close range the men
and women who had come to Washing
ton from many States ct the instance
Of radical agitators against the estab-
lished order in this country.
The utter futility OF this method oi
petitioning for redress Of grievances and
grant of bounsies, evidenced by the
bonus march last Spring, was further
demonstrated by this spectacle Of nearly
5000 men and women journeying long
distances OF the behest Of professional
!disturbers of the public order. Not.
withstanding the spectacular circum-
stances of this march," no advance
was made toward the relief ostensibly
sought by the would-be fomenters oi
disorder.
The experience Of these last few days
has been valuable in demonstrating tina,
these extraordinary situations incident
to mischievous radical propaganda car
be effectively handled without disturb
ance and without risk to the public Sc
curity. High praise Is due to those who
met this incursion in good temper and
with sound Judgment.
