THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

ting out of difficulty, according to the
Chinese, the best of which Is to run
away.
There is no fleeing, however, from
the person who wants to tell you about
what he saw at the show.
Especially those excruciating mo-
ments that were so terribly funny
The trouble with them is that they
never strike the patient listener al
humorous in any way.
Even the person who tells them Il
vaguely conscious that something Il
missing from them as he tells about
them.
What is not present, of course, is the
psychology Of the stage.
'I know it doesn't sound very funny
the way I tell It," says the other
placing the blame on himself, where II
does not belong.
His fault Is not poor narration, but
simply the attempt to tell about some
thing whose very essence lay in stage
craft.
Most Of the situations which seem
so killingly funny at the theater are
boresome when deprived of their lights
their stage and especially their audi
ence
Theater psychology is crowd psychol-
ogy, in essence.
What a person will laugh at. in a
crowd, is far different from what strikes
him as funny while alone.
The person who unwittingly starts
out to tell another something which
struck him as humorous in q theateI
is doomed to failure before he begins.
The cards are stacked against him
and he will never pull 1t off unless the
joke was an exceptionally good one to
begin with. Usually this means ex-
ceptionally short, brief and to the well
known point.
The stay-at-home, in a theatrical
sense, suddenly finds himself far behind
the times, and almost overnight. Con-
slider this big bad wolf" business
Much to our innocent's amazement, and
some amusement, he finds that the
wolf is really the villain of his child
hood favorite, 1.-The Three Little Pigs y
Strong men on the streets begin to
talk about big bad wolf" It seems
that it is the combination Of big
and bad" which gives the whole the
exact flavor suited to 1888.
The cause of this sudden popularity
Is far to seek. Just why does a certain
sort Of flip take" and another fall
fiat? There is no telling. Nobody
knows. If anybody did there would
never be anything but "big hits" to
say nothing of big bad wolves.
These things suddenly crop out OF
the void and it Is the smart thing
to know about them. The fact that
one may have treasured the old French
story of the three pigs all ones life
means exactly nothing at ALL Little
Red Riding Hood" counts for naught
here. You've got to know the thing
the way it is put up now.
"reminiscences Of theatrical perform
ance undoubtedly are entertaining. The
glow. or whatever one wants to call It
induced by good show, is something
tangible, something which makes one
want to pass it on.
This mental satisfaction proves, be-
yond anything else, the real founda-
tion in human nature which the thea
ter. in any Of its forms, possesses.
The stage is fundamental, because
seeing Is basic. Going and seeing
these go together A book lacks them
Reading is cultivated taste. but going
to the play is natural. Talking about
1t afterward is even more natural, per-
hapS. So, after ALL there Is nothing
to do but make the best of 1t. ONLY
one can wish they wouldn't.

Back to Bartering.
From the Rockford Register Republic.

One of the greatest barters in history
is now being negotiated. Cansda is
seeking to exchange 100000 beef car
casses with Russia for refined petroleum
Which will remind many that econ
omists have said the whole world may
have to resort to the primitive means
Of barter, beginning at the bottom of
the scale once more, In an effort to re-
store trade, jobs-and sanity.
Not only has trading become too
complicated, but nations have become
too bitter and too resentful to permit
the ordinary conduct Of commerce., they

CoIbert's Solution

Oh JOD IIODiCln SltCus
LIE Temps, Observation-Disclosures Is
a plague exclusively of modern civiliza-
tions. The term, in the sense in which
We use it today. was never employed by
the sociologists and economists OF the
past. The reason for that was that then
conditions of life and work were totally
different from what they are today.
Seyenty-five per cent OF the populatlon
was in the fields, while today more than
60 per cent of the population Is In the
cities. Industry on large scale OF
united action did not exist. save here
and there in certain definite centers.
There were infinitely more artisans than
laborers, and most men knew not now
to work except in some narrow and spe.
cialized occupation. Such system OF
organization in work was the best guar
antee against unemployment 1magm.
able The peasants in the fields could
all maintain themselves. The WORKERS
in the various trades within the cities
were always able to procure from tne
markets what surplus the countrymen
brought thither.
However, in the seventeenth century
there occurred certain periods wnen
work was stopped even for members OF
the corporations (trade unions). COL
bert (Jean Baptiste Colbert, l6l9-looS,
French finance minister), desiring 10
relieve the exigencies OF the idle artlSans,
created some "ateliers de char1te, or
sort of benevolent workshops, Wnere tne
craftsmen could be employed on tasks
which. though not exactly indispensable,
provided some benefits both to those
employed and to those who furnish the
EMPLOYMENT. The method Of those times
differed radically from that in vogue
today. We pay indemnities for idleness;
| they paid indemnities for work. Colbert
encouraged the cities to organize mu-
nicipal manufactures and advance mu-
I nicipal projects, concepts which trans
formed what might have been an era OF
retrogression into one of progress and
achievement.
It was thus at the beginning Of the
eighteenth century that real organi-
zation of labor commenced to be, we
NAV saw, a concern and affair Of the
state. Already, under the regency, some
workmen for whom regular employment
had become a hope more or less pre-.
carious, began to esteem the government
as a sort of economic providence. In
l716, for instance, factory operatives in
Boulogne addressed to the regent a
request that he command their employer
to give them work, regardless of the
possibilities for disposing of the products
of their labor. This is about the only
feature of the ancient status comparable
with what transpires today.
Unemployment now is, for the most
part, the consequence of an overproduc-
ton ineluctable in the progress OF
science and industry. Our forefathers,
who produced little and lived comfort
ably, even opulently, did not have tc

re AEsrt A0ELAftO. by Helen WaQQeu.
New York: Henry Holt & Co.
The conflict between religion and
love is motif of the past, both in life
and in fiction. When a Goth century
case of such a conflict occurs, it is an
exception. But when Peter Abelard,
scholastic philosopher, back in 1116, fell
as some Of the encyclopedias say,
daughter) of Fulbert, canon in the
Cathedral of Notre Dame, there was a
conflict, according to medieval story,
which was devastating for both and
sent Abelard to a monastery and Heloise
to convent. They were secretly mar
ried, but Heloise, fearing injury to
Abelard's preferment, denied the mar
riage, though she had become the
mother Of child. Fulbert, enraged,
caused Abelard to be subjected to great
indignity. The life of the theologian-
philosopher and craven lover was there
after anything but peaceful and clois-
tered. He was in continual controversy
with the authorities of the church and
on one occasion was condemned by the
Pope. Heloise outlived him by 20 years
and was buried beside him in the
Paraclete, q small oratory founded by
him near Troyes. After several remov-

buried in the cemetery Of Pere la
Chaise, Paris, where their tomb Is
visited by many travellers. Abelard and
Heloise have been favorite subjects for
literary treatment. Pope celebrated them
in his poem 'Epistle Of Eloisa to Abel
ard" and George Moore in his novel
"Heloise and Abelard" recreated them
in their medieval setting. Miss Wad-
dell's novel Is an innovation because
it interprets the conflict of the lovers
in the light of modern psychology.
Perhaps she has embroidered some of
the facts. Historical novelists do.
Abelard Is the victim of his own in
hibitions; Heloise is a modern woman
pursuing lover. Religion IS replaced
by psychology. The Interpretation Is
probably not true, but it is interesting.

Possibly some may believe
that deep-fat-fried foods are
Winter.time preparations only;
again, some will say they are
supposed to be indigestible;
however, there is much less
grease actually in deep-fat fried
foods than in those sauted or
fried in a small amount of fat.
Besides. this is a quick way OF
preparing hot foods in short
time and without heating the
kitchen as with an oven.
Cooking Temperatures
Any good fat which may con-

most sighted in the home is
that of deep-fat frying. Another
is that Of broiling. Yet, both
these are unusually simple and

your column since the very be-
ginning and 1 save your articles.
1 am enclosing Self-addressed
and stamped envelope for the
answers to the questions which
you do not print. Thank you
in advance for your expected
answers. l. Will ...., aP-
piled to the lashes, make them
grow? What will do this? 2.
My nose has the tendency to be
red and very shiny due to Oili-
ness? 1t also frequently seems
to expand or swell up. What
will correct these faults? 3. My
skin is very oily. What make
of makeup should use? 4. Do
permanents ruin your hair and
take out the natural wave? 5.
1 have been unable to wear
black or dull, dark cOlOrS be-
cause of my skin, which isn't
tan or white. 1 have dark brown
eyes and light brown hair. with
some strands Of gold. If should
use the bleach you mentioned
in one Of your articles, do you,
/ think 1 could then wear the
J cOlOrs mentioned?
Answer: Miss H. L. AS you see,
I am not publishing all Of your
letter. I have answered all
your questions in a personal
letter to you. The salve you
mentioned applied to your
lashes at night before retiring
will make them grow. Castor
oil is also excellent. If your
nose is red and swells up. your
trouble is probably internal.
Go to see your doctor. II your
nose is just shiny, use soap and
warm water frequently. An as
tringent is also good. Ice
wrapped in a towel saturated
with witch hazel will help too.
If your skin is oily use liquid
rouge. Permanents. if given by
a clever operator, are not the
least bit injurious to the hair.
If you have a natural wave,
however, try and train it by
having finger waves. If you
bleach your skin you will have
no trouble wearing the colors
mentioned.

not drink milk often have a de-
ficiency in gastric juice. Or else
they gulp the beverage, instead
OF slipping it, in which case it
forms hard curds in the Stom-
ach. Milk is less difficult to d.
gest in cooked form. So I'd sug-
gest that you try warming your
milk before you drink it. Or
add some acid to the milk to
make it more digestible, such
as orange, lemon or grapefruit
juice. In Europe, a drink COM
posed half of milk and half Of
ginger ale is considered excel
lent for underweight individ-
uals. The ginger ale is said to
render the milk more easily di-
geStible.

Summer, with it's dry air, in
tense sun, while beckoning us
10 stay outdoors to subject our
selves to these elements, is very
damaging to certain types Of
skin.
Now we cannot battle the
elements but we can protect
the skin when going outdoors.
There are creams and oils ga
lore that will do that for us.
And If you cannot afford them,
you can always coat the skin
with olive oil or sweet almond
oil.
Projections
This will not only protect the
skin against the sun, but it
will also lend very necessary
fabrication, soften the pores,
and keep the skin from taking
on that leathery look.
Use cream for cleansing if
your skin is dry. Do not use
soap and water.
If you feel the necessity of
the latter treatment use it
once a day at bedtime. Rinse
any soap off thoroughly, as it
will do an untold amount of
damage to an already dry skin.
Then use cleansing cream
and pat the face with a verv
mild tonic. Next a good skin
food and leave it on over night
II you can.
Wrinkles Form ,,<'
II dry skin is neglect.
wrinkles form very quickly, es-:
pecially around the eyes, where
We want them the least.
Don't forget that you are
more susceptible to wrinkles in
the summer. Frequently you
go without a hat and squint
your eyes up at the glare and
sun. If you do that and neglect
your dry skin. too, the first few
days in the fall, when you want
to spruce up and look your
best will see you with a wrin-
kled, weather-beaten face.
If dry skin is cared for, you
know, it looks young longer
than any other type of skin.
On the other hand, if it is neg.
lected, it looks much older.
A dry skin is usually fine in
texture, and should be kept as
Velvety as a baby'S.
Take all the precautions you
can. You may think these
things an annoyance, but wear
large brimmed hats, eye shades
on the tennis courts or golf
course, and use a parasol on the
beach. Take every step you can
to prevent sunburn. It is the
worst enemy of the dry skin.
