For the sandwiches to which Madame Flag

There are meats, of course, and salads -
especially an egg salad and an Italian salad
with mayonnaise. These sandwiches are also
favorite with children who like to find them
when they open their lunch boxes at school.
"One dish that like especially is Faari-

The world may be pretty sor-

Don't Stay with Evil
If you have been tempted into

Sometimes man has no con-

Many people talk about the val

Some folks wish they had saved

How a Macaroni Makers Son
Became the Pearl King

ToBA, IsE PROVINCE
nNCE upon a time-this
~ may start like a fable, and
even read like one, but it is all
truth. Once upon a time there
lived in Tobamachi a macaronl
manufacturer by the name of
Motto Mikirnoto, who was
blessed with nine children, three
daughters and six sons. The eldest,
Kokichi, a boy, achieved distinc-
ton by doubling the output OF
stone mortar in which he ground
wheat flour.
He did not care for the nnacaroni
business, however, and kept his
eyes open for something more prof
table.
In 1875 two British warships
dropped anchor in Toba and re-
manned several days. Kokichi, now
in his eighteenth year, cornering all
the chickens, eggs and vegetables
in the village, hired fleet OF bum
boats, swooped down upon the Eng
lish navy, such as it was, and
Cleaned up" snug surplus. Bust
ness stunts much appealed to the
young man.
At twenty-one he shook Toba,
came to Tokyo, married and set
himself up as a dealer in mother
of-pearl, expanding through the en-
pire, and trading abroad as well.
Makes Audacious Move.
At Japan's third industrial exposi.
ton in Tokyo, 1900, DR.. Kakichi Nit
sukuri, noted zoologist, delivered
a lecture on the possibilities Of pro.
ducing cultivated pearls. Mikimotc
was among those who attended.
What he heard that evening made
such a profound impression upon
the son of the macaroni maker,
that he then and there closed out
all his business connections, turned
his efforts into cash and retired
to the island Of Tatokujna in Age
bay, Miye Prefecture. There he I'm
dertook in earnest, win or lose, those
experiments with oysters that with

What Makes News.

COME gentleman who must work

ingly, stamps don't mean a thing
in the world to him, keeps taking
issue with me for saying the rea-
son why successful newspapers fea-
ture so-called sensations above
news of art and science and litera-
ture is not through any desire to
pander morbid or vulgar tastes, but
because the average publisher, be-
ing smart merchandiser, puts
such wares in his shop window,
which is his front page, as are cal
culated to catch the eye and win
the trade of the general public.
My correspondent demands an
answer. All right, let's make it a
parable:
Suppose, mister, that tomorrow,
through the town where you live,
passes a train bearing a distin-
guished savant who has made some
great discovery-say, the cause and
cure Of botts-and on another train
there is a taffy-haired lady who,
after spectacular murder trial,
has just been triumphantly acquit-
ted on the ground Of self-defense
for shooting a gentleman friend
eight or nine times in the back.
Which one Of these two travellers
will draw the biggest crowd down
to the station? And, brother, which
train will you meet?

It is with this view that Mr..

Consequently, when "Tau Grew
The Pines" came out with only
its book jacket to recommend
it, we set about the task Of re-
viewing its contents without any
great excitement.
More pleasant, therefore, was
the revelation that Sigman Byrd
belongs in q distinctive class Of
story-telIers. He put the book
together to "juStify" what he
calls a "twenty-three year life

as the son of the village school

Perhaps the best thing about
each separate link in the long

whole is that each has a quick jolt

An inkling as to the impression
which Mr.. Wallace is seeking to
force home is contained in this
significant paragraph in his intro
duction:
"The problem Of today is
whether we can manifest the
spirit of unity in the name Of
the general welfare. Some say
that the Constitution Of the
United States will not permit it.
There Is no question whatever
i'm my mind that the COnStitu-
tiOn does permit this In view Of
the spirit Of the preamble and
the debates Of those who wrote
the Constitution. Unity in the
name Of general welfare has all
too long been delayed by those
who have the theory Of States
