Fig Not a Fruit

The fig Is not really fruit, but'a
f1eshy growth which issues from the
trunk and limbs of the tree without
any flower preceding it. The real
fruits are what we call the seeds
inside the fig.

WERE 1 A KING

gold,
Upon my head a silver crown to
hold.
Were l a king so mighty and Sc
proud,
Riding in the midst of trumpets
loud.
If I were riding upon the kings
sofa pillow;
If I only had the privilege to enjoy
the shade of the willow.
Oh! If l were a king, in his glory
fair,
If I could only ride up there.
No trumpet is sounded at my pass
ing by,
No sofa have I for riding high.
I am no king in pomp and glory,
So l shall tell a different story.
I am a humble tiller of the soil,
A worker, clean and unspoiled.
l am low in the race of men.
And each morning my work
must begin.
While within the palace of the
king so high,
Where the drinking of wine and
merry making never die,
They have no work each morning
to begin.
So they must be the most worth,
of men.
Still l say nothing as I go abou
my work each day.
I am not one to complain Of tn
hardships in the way;
I patiently work and wait, from
year to year,
Because l know of a time that
drawing near.
A time when the king so proue
and high,
Will not have a chance the poor t.
deny,
He will receive his reward Of firey
pain,
And in torment forever remain
this time has come to hand
Ever faithful I shall be to God,
not man.
For I do not ride in a coach o:

glance up as she lit a cigarette. A
look of particular interest flashed
in his eyes as he noticed that her
cigarettes were of a popular
American brand. American cigar
cites are, of course, expensive in
Europe, too much so for a strug-
Cling young musician. Modarelli,
who had not INDUCED himself
such a luxury in a long time,
couldn't resist the temptation of
offering to trade his fellow-passen-

of her American ones.
Graciously she insisted on CIV

minutes later the train stopped
at Zehlendorf-West, and the mu-

lady was a close neighbor.

themselves marooned by a heavy

MY LADY IN ALL HER
MOODS

By Charles Waronow
Sometimes she greets me in a gar
ment neat,
Her disposition cordial, sweet.
Sometimes her hair and dress are
awry.
Sometimes her grammer is not
quite 50 spry.
Sometimes she smiles, her manner
gracious.
Sometimes she's coy; sometimes
vivacious.
Sometimes she's glum and her
words are few.
And sometimes does she tell me a
thing or two!
Sometimes she's flip with the latest
crack.
Sometimes she rudely turns her
back.
Sometimes she's simply clay in my
hands;
Sometimes no more than shifting
sands.
Sometimes she believes every word
I spill her.
Sometimes her "Oh, YEAH" makes
me want to kill her!

Simple, home beauty methods
practiced regularly will often do
more for your good looks than
complicated and expensive routines
repeated only now and then. Dash
ing ice water on the face and
throat morning and night will
keep your skin more firm and
healthy than an occasional appli-
cation of high priced tonic. Alter
native applications of hot and ice
cold water will often make a red
nose less conspicuous.
Olive oil is a simple remedy for
rough hands. For roughened elbows
and knees, try olive oil Or white
vaseline, and if they are discolored
as we'll, rub them with a piece of
lemon first, then oil or vaseline.
If regular shampoos cannot be
arranged, plain cornmeal is an eff
fectice dry cleaner. At night, rub
the meal into the hair and scalp,
massage a bit, wrap a towel around
your head and go to bed. Next
morning, brush until every trace
of the meal is removed and your
hair is clean, soft and shiny.
If you can't afford three really
good creams, put every cent of
your cream allowance into one of
the excellent all-purpose creams
which cleanse, soften and leave the
skin ready to receive makeup.
Silks for southern resort and
spring wear have the gayest pat
terms and most vivid colors in years
Bold splashy decigns combining
many colors often replace the neat
monotone prints of last year.
Prints are everywhere, even for
evening clothes, which last year
featured solid colors. While the
print designs for daytime are
smaller than those intended for
evening, many of them are much
larger than last years. Solid-color
silks continue to have a prominent
place for daytime and evening
fashions in the spring and resort
picture, and were endorsed by sew
eral Paris houses.
This winter cotton is taking a
turn on the skis. Soft sweaters
made of knitting and crochet cot
ton, or the lustrous knit-cro-sheen
are found by ardent skiiers to Be
just the right weight to wear under
heavier outer clothing. They serve
admirably to wear in the house or
around the fire after a days skiing
or for use when climbing a trail in

You can strip down to the cotton
sweater and it will be warm
enough without being scratchy or
clinging.

TO A. FRIEND

By Florence M. Charlesworth
We need each other
Not to sit beside the fire and talk
of love-
But to assist each other now and
then
With things we're dreaming of!
We need each other
Not to build a house and raise a
family
But to aid each other on the road
To opportunity!
Our meeting wasn't just a thing of
chance,
1t was ordained hat we should
meet
So we could both advance,
In lots of things that needed re-
cognition-
And now we know how we'll
We've bettered our condition.
We need each other
Not to take advantage for a selfish
end
But Just because of finer things,
We need each others help, my
friend!

 New equipment capable of greater production at lower cost has been one of the greatest boons ts mining, the commissioner reported, and many properties which have beenr worked in the past by more obsolete methods are now turning out pay dirt m sig able quantities due to installation of modern mining machinery.
 There is more production and de- velopment in placer mining than I have seen in years" Mir. Stewart said, but thsre is still a lack of prospectirs.- There is little new dis covery and there continues to be a great field for the prospector."
