AS DIRECTOR for "Hellz a Pop
A pin." one of Broadway's big
4 = musical successes this year,
Harold Stern pulled down another
lucky star to shine in whole galaxy
that have lighted his road to achieve
ment and popularity He was only six
teen when Victor Herbert boosted him
from the role of struggling violin soloist
to that of orchestra leader. The meet
ing with the famous Herbert happened
quite accidentally. 1t was like this:
Harold, who was on concert tour,
had been rehearsing in Churchill's.
New York restaurant in the theatrical
district and, as chance would have it,
next door to the theater where Herbert
himself was rehearsing Lady Slipper"
Among other things, the young Harold
had played his own arrangement of
kiss Me Again." all unaware that
the strains of his violin we're being
heard next door.
"A few minutes later" Harold says,
"a gentleman came into the restaurant
and walked straight up to me. Who
made that arrangement of Kiss Me
Again''?' he asked. told him that l
had made it."
"'Do you know who I amp said
the stranger. My name is Victor
Herbert and wrote the piece"
Thus the young Russian boy found
a friend and booster in the United
States. He has since written the music
for many popular songs - like Love
Comes Only Once in Lifetime and
for successful revues. Il wrote the
entire music for Artists and Models
and for Night in Spain" he says.
Harold Stern was born in a small
town in the northern part of Russia.
His mother had been singer and
Harold began violin lessons almost as
soon as he could walk" finally going
to study at the Imperial Conservatory
of Music at Petrograd. At the time of
the Revolution, the Stern family fled
to the United States.
1t is natural that Harold Stern
should still have special fondness for
Russian food Blinis, those Russian
equivalents. of the delicate French
pancakes, are probably his favorite of
all dishes. Il like them with cheese,

Young Mr.. Watkins pressed the

A moon-faced man opened the door.

riveted on the brown paper package

To make this pudding. you grind six
tablespoons of poppy seeds to paste.
Then beat the yolks of six eggs and
six tablespoons of granulated sugar to
a smooth cream. Add to them the
poppy seed paste. the grated rind of
half a lemon, half teaspoon of ground
cloves, and a half teaspoon of Gin
namon. Mix we'll and then fold into
the mixture the stiffly beaten whites of
the eggs. Transfer the whole to a
lightly creased ring pan and bake in a
slow oven for about forty minutes. Let
the pudding get cold and serve it in
slices.
Harold's cook vouches for that
recipe and we ourselves recommend
the pudding to anyone who enjoys the
flavor of poppy seeds. We personally
do enjoy it.

Mores, this island possessed marvellous
natural resources; De Mores had OBJ
tanned a concession from the Chinese
government to develop them; the is
land was inhabited by sadly underpaid
people, whose support the marquis had
won by boosting their wages from six
to eight cents day. De Mores ap--
peared before the French chamber OF
deputies and requested the official
sanction of the French government in
operating under his concessions
The chamber was dubious, and one
of the deputies delivered remarks that
were anything but complimentary. The
marquis challenged him to a duel
pistols at daybreak. The marquis was
reputed to be slow shot, but deadly
one, who never missed his mark. At
the meeting, the deputy shot and
missed, whsreupon De Mores sent a
ball through his arm. Then the two
parties embraced and honor was salts
fled.
The next time the Marquis came
into prominence was with denuncia-
ton of the Jews, for which he was
challenged by a Jewish officer. This
time the duel was with swords and
the marquis. being one of the finest
swordsmen in Europe, ran his adver-
sary through the lung and killed him.
But the marquis adventurous life
was drawing to close. He became in

and the next night attacked them.
1t was battle against overwhelming
odds The marquis was sleeping at the
time the thieves went into action, but

pistol. 1t is difficult to conceive Just
what his thoughts were, as he lay there
in the sand fighting for life. Perhaps
the panorama of his life flashed be-

known that he was doomed. But he
fought on as bravely as he had lived,
so furiously that the attackers, hav-

who escaped, withdrew from him as
from a wounded lion.

Mrs. Lucille Meinecke OF Butte
has taken definite exception to
statements on belief of a widely
known Butte sportsman who said
that rattlesnakes do not attack un-
less disturbed; that they do not
attack without giving warning;
that they do not go blind in Au-
gust, and that they will die if
forced too long in the sun.
Each one of these statements Is
wrong" said Mrs. Meinecke. 81 rode
the range as a cowgirl in the Bismarck
and Mandan country and I know my
snakes. II you will repeat each of the
above statements regarding rattle
snakes, and just say that the opposite
IS true, you will not have to again
stand corrected.
In regard to not being able to see
in August, the Butte woman stated
that in that month a film appears
over the snakes eyes. They cannot
see eA until it goes tS;,s away she said:
Your informant says that a RATHER
cannot throw himself without coiling.
This, also, is wrong. I have seen not
once, but hundreds of times a snake
throw himself one and one-half times
MS length while stretched out fiat"
Mrs. Meinecke saws she was one of
several children-all girls-who rode
herd on her fathers ranch. "Our
brothers were all younger than we and
too small to ride" she explained.
While the cattle would be grazing in
midday We girls would amuse ourselves
by playing with snakes"
She said she and her sisters had
practically no fear of the reptiles and
had little difficulty in either killing
or trapping them. She said the poison
with which a rattler infectS his victim
is contained in a pus sack on the ridge
of its muoth. When he strikes-and
bites-the two lower fangs penetrate
the sac. she declared. releasing the
poison into the wound of its victim.
After it has struck twice in succession
-providing it made the desired con-
tact with its prey-the sac is empty
and the snake is then harmless until
1t again fills up, she said.
