A Murray?

THIS name first originated with a
L family from Germany who called
themselves Moravii. Settling in Scot
land. they affixed their own nomencla-
ture to the district which is now the
shire of Moray The root of the word
in both Moravian and Gaelic signifies
great water.'
The Clan Murray is a family Of the
first rank in Scotland. They have fig
ured in Scottish history since the
Twelfth century. The title of the head
of the clan is the Duke of Athol, whose
name has occurred time and again In
the national affairs of Scotland. The
family numbers among its descendants
many peers and baronets, including the

Ours a Big Rich World
to the Ungrasping Man

Ours is a big, rich world, If we
don't ask too much, and fills the
storehouse of every man who is con-
tent with enough. and we cannot lay
any legitimate claim to more, though
we like to know, or to feel, that
there is always a loaf in the cup
board, if only to be generous with at
times!

THIS was a name given to youths
L between the ages of seven and four
teen while receiving their education
for knighthood. 1t is derived from the
Latin word "pagius," meaning a youth
attending the king. Later it was ap-
piled to boy holding similar posi-
ton for other persons of high degree.
Today in the house of representatives
and senate in Washington we have
youths serving in the same capacity.

1.-THE ATTRIBUTES of a great
lady may still be found in
the rule of the four SIS: Sincerity,
simplicity, sympathy, serenity"
says Emily Post. If we would de-
velop all these characteristics to
the highest we would attain the
ultimate in charm. AS Mrs. Post
says, they are the attributes of a
great lady and a great lady is a
charming one.
She places sincerity first, as it
should be, for it is the most inn
portant of the four. Be sincere!
Be sincere first of all with your
self. If you are not true to your
self, how then can you be true to
others? ? Be sincere enough to face
facts. Don't be a hypocrite. Know
your own thoughts, what goes on
in your mind, and control your
mind as you control your muscles.
Whatever you think shows in
your face. 1t is difficult to hide
your thoughts, or at least the
general trend Of your thoughts,
and even if you succeed in this it
is almost better to be unhappy

You See Your Front, But
Others Look At Your Back

morning and was quite sure that
she looked all right, merely be-
cause she saw only her face and
a portion of her collar.
1 CAN remember a remark of
my grandmother that used to
please me very much. We were
driving through a little town in
the southwest, and passed some
of those oldtime stores that had
a magnificent two-story facade
which faded away in the rear to a
miserable one-room shack. She
shifted and said, Queen Anne
front and a Mary Anne back"
1t was SO appropriate that have
never forgotten it, and 1 am
afraid that 1 have often applied it
to persons rather than architec-
ture.
1t is so useless to put up a
front, unless you have something
IN back to support it. It's bound
to tumble sometime and leave you
frightfully embarrassed.
There are all sorts of fronts"
that people affect-some of them
are more or less harmless, some
of them definitely bad. There are
some very shy people that erect a
mental front that is really a bene-
fit. I know, because / had to do
it. After my marriage, 1 was
thrown into a phase of society
that / had never before met, and
was terrified. 1 finally decided
that I was acting like an awful
baby by being so afraid of the
people that I had to meet every
day, and that might just as well
act as though liked them all and
was delighted to see them. After
a few weeks of this "play-acting,"
I found that my act had become
part of me, and that l really was
glad to see them. That sort of
front is really a necessity, I
think.
1t Is the sort of woman who
talks about her maid and her
cook as though they were two
persons, when you know that she
has only a part-time maid; and
the man who is quite willing to
discuss the status quo of various
college fraternities, when you are
certain that he left high school at
seventeen-those are the persons
that really annoy me.

great because they had vast
simplicity. Greatness cannot exist
without simplicity. Clear your
mind of dust as you would your
house. Think clearly, logically and
simply. You will be a much hap
pier and more emotionally bal
anced person than if you ALLOW
your mind to be cluttered up with
the cobwebs and dust of years of
haphazard thinking
I IFE is built on great simplic-
- tiles. Too often they are for
gotten, or so covered with ex-
traneous matter that the original
ideas and ideals are obscured and
simplicity turns into multiplicity.
Go back to the bare bone of
things, tear aside the veil and get
down to the essential YOU. Don't
go on trying to hide the little
things about yourself that you
despise, the ways of thinking that
you realize are wrong. When you
get down to the core you will
know that your ideals and ideas
are all great and simple, un-
worthy of distortion.
The quality of sympathy is one
worthy of the gods. Lend an in
terested and sympathetic ear to
the troubles of others. But even
more important, lend an ear to
their joys. Too many times we
take a ghoulish delight in others
misfortunes, giving unwanted pity
in great doses. Learn to rejoice in
the good fortune of others. This
faculty Is rather rare since we
are often, unconsciously, a little
jealous of any success but our
own.
Serenity is something that
must be acquired. Glenda Farrell
pictured here, is the very embodi-
ment of serenity. She Is poised
and serene, sure of herself But
to acquire this poise one must
practice restraint. And the hard
est kind of restraint-mental. and
more particularly emotional re.
straint. You must learn self con
troll. Don't be Unconditional and
cold but don't give way to vio-
lence.

IN LOOKING through a re-
~ cent number of Vogue, I
found a sentence that set me to
thinking. 1t was, "Never mind
about putting up a good front
this season . you must turn
your back on the world"
Did you ever know people that
looked, acted and talked as
\ though they must live in some of
4 the old-time movie sets - you
know, the ones that were all front
and no back?

very clearly expressed to me in
girl that came to our Office look
ing for work. She looked very
nice, and seemed well dressed, un-
til began examining her dress in
greater detail. / am sure that she
had no full length mirror in her
dressing room-and that is a
thing that no woman can afford
to be without. From the neck up,
and from the front view, she was
all right-but, oh! dear, the rest
was all wrong!
In the first place, her heels
were run-over-not badly, I'll adj
NIT, but enough so that they were
noticeable. Then the seams of her
stockings were crooked. It's queer
that you can tell some people in
picture, word and sign what not
to do, and what things to guard
against, and still they never real
ize that it is to them that you are
speaking.
The skirt of her suit was baggy

with a hot iron, and a whisk-
brush would have mended that in
just few minutes. The lining of
her suit-coat had stretched, so
that 1t showed beneath the edge
of the coat. A needle and thread
would have taken care Of that,
and saved her the embarrassment
that she must have felt when she
moved her coat. The collar of her
coat was unbrushed and there
were two or three loose hairs
which had fallen from her coif-
fure. The curls around the back
Of her neck were untidy and
sloppy, as though she had ne
elected to care for them.

THE combination, meat and
macaroni, is by no means a
new one, but you may not have
tried to serve them as pictured on
this page, veal birds around a
beehive of macaroni. This makes
a novel platter, and at the same
time furnishes practically all of
the main part of the meal The
veal birds, stuffed with carrots,
and the macaroni need only
crisp salad and a dessert to make
a complete meal.
There are any number of va
rieties of veal birds, depending
on the stuffing. Some are filled
with bread dressing of one kind
or another, some are filled with
ground meat or sausage, and some
are filled with vegetables. The
ones pictured on this page are
filled with carrots. The carrots
are partially cooked in water and
then wrapped with slices of veal
steak, cut one-fourth to one-half
inch thick and in two to four
inch pieces, depending on the size
of veal birds desired. The edges
are fastened with toothpicks.
Veal birds are cooked by brais-
ing. They are dredged with flour
and Drowned on all sides in hot
lard. Then small amount of
water is added, the skillet tightly
covered, and the birds allowed to
cook slowly, either on top OF the
stove or in the oven, until done.
This requires about as minutes.
The birds are arranged on the
platter around the macaroni bee
hive. The liquid remaining in the
pan is thickened for gravy, and
served separately.
All-meat birds are becoming
very popular for entertaining,
too. These may be made with
sausage or ground meat of any
kind. A half-andhalf mixture of
ground fresh pork and cured ham
makes particularly good filling
for veal. The ground meat is
nodded into cylindrical shape, and
wrapped with the thin veal steaks
which are fastened in place with
toothpicks. These are cooked by
braising in exactly the same way
as directed above.
THE macaroni beehive is not
hard to make, but does require
a little patience. The macaroni is
cooked in boiling salted water un-
til tender, and then the long strips
are woven around the inside of
mold or pan. These strips are
stuck together with a mixture of
flour and butter.
After the outside of the bee
hive is made, you may fill the Gen.
ter with any vegetable mixture
which becomes firm on baking, or
you may wish to make the bee
hive of macaroni through and
through. If SO, cut macaroni strips
into small pieces, about one inch
long. Combine with this / cup
bread crumbs, a bit of chopped
parsley and pimiento Season it
with grated cheese and salt and
pepper. Moisten with thick
white sauce and pour into the
center of the macaroni beehive.
Bake in a moderate oven until
the maearoni becomes thoroughly
heated through and firm through
out. When done, turn out onto a
heated platter and serve with veal
birds.

MESQUITE MARY'S LAMBS
4 IESQUITE MARY had lamb she also had

Each day she took them out to Craze, at times
far from the pen,
She let them eat till evening time, and drove
them home again.

liked to stray
So by the time she watched them ALL she had
busy day.
She loved them ALL and they loved her, twas
very plain to see,
For any time one "baaed" for help, right there
would Mary be-
One day heavy storm came up. The day grew
black as night,
And all the lambs began to "baa" and "maa'
and "Waa" in fright
There was Mary all alone, but did she mind the
weather?
No sir Though she soaking wet she kept
her lambs together

She talked lamb talk to all of them, and told
them to be good,
And they stopped their shivering to show

Then soon the rain ceased coming down. The

Then came the sun, Mary said Come

They followed her back down the trail. They
all were safe and sound
You should have seen the muddy tracks they

Her parents when the storm came up were very

But this changed to loving pride when

No boasting came from Marys lips. Her parents

But each knew how the other felt Words
therefore did not matter.

Attorney General Finds No
Federal Law Violated
in Arkansas.

Investigation by the Department OF
Justice having failed to disclose VIOLA
tions of the Federal criminal laws In
connection with the share-croppers'
strike in Eastern Arkansas, the De-
partment will confine its part in the
case to presentation of facts on
alleged peonage to a Federal grand
jury at Little Rock, Ark, 1t was an
nounced late yesterday by Attorney
General Cummings.
An investigation of the flogging OF
Miss Willie Sue Blagden and Rev,
Claude c. Williams failed to reveal
any violation of Federal statutes. The
facts, and information gathered, have
been brought to the attention of Gov.
Futrell of Arkansas.
Earlier in the afternoon Miss
Blagden visited Brian Mcmahon, As
sistant Attorney General in charge OF
the Criminal Division. She was told
that the case would have to be handled
by the Arkansas courts without in
tervention of the Federal agency.
Evidence with respect to alleged
violations of the Federal peonage
statutes in conflicting, both from the
standpoint of fact and the law, Cum
mings said, and it has been determined
to submit it to a Federal grand jury
at Little Rock. George P. Jones,
special assistant to the attorney gen.
eral, attached to the Criminal Divi-
sion, will appear before the jury.
