You are able to take care of yourself and then out of the excess of your strength you produce a sur plus. Thus "you are not only able to take care of yourself, but you are able to take care of some one else—of wife, child, father and mother, to lend a band to sick people, old people, unfor tunate people.

I read a doctor’s article stating that pimply skin usually comes from the stomach—and bowels not getting rid of the poisons. I tried Carter’s Little Liver Pills for a few days—and since that time my skin is smooth and clear. Now I tell my friends the right way of getting rid of a broken out skin—and also of steering clear of upset stomach and sick headache. Carter’s are all you claim for them.

H. No' mere dabbler In the arte crosses Its portals, but those who have a definite piece of artistic accomplishment to show and are accepted by the committee on admissions, live, for the summer months, in an artist’s paradise. A paragraph from THE BOOKMAN magazine pictures Edward Arlington Robinson there. "This is Robinson in his own element at Peterboro. Whoso has not seen him in that delectable cor ner of New Hampshire barely knows him. He leads the ideal artist’s life at the MacDowell Colony. He rises early and, after breaKraat, tramps to his studio which is hidden among trees but from whose door he can see the blue crown tt Mt. Monad nock rising in the distance. With that vision before him he sits and composes his best work. Luncheon is brought to him, as it is to all the other colonists, and placed upon his doorstep where he may get lL' when he pleases. He lives uninter rupted days in what is perhaps the most charming, environment for a writer in the United States. "And he changes an 1 glows in Peterboro. He emanates a jovial - ness that is unhampered by city cares. Practically all of his eve nings are passed at the pool table, where with such companions as Ar thur Nevln, the composer, Jules Bols, the French writer, William Rose Benet, the poet, and others, the time flies.” jonn uaiswortny, writing in Scrib ner's, quotes from a letter written to him by Joseph Conrad describing the finish of LORD JIM, In 1901: "The end of ‘Lord Jim’ has been pulled off with a steady drag of 21 hours. I sent wife and child out of the house (to London) and sat down at 9 a. m. with a desperate resolve to be done with It. "Now and then I took a walk around the house, out at one door. In at the other. Cigaret ends grow ing into a mound similar to a cairn over a dead hero. Moon ros« over the barn, looked In at the window and climbed out of sight. Dawn broke, brightened. I put the lamp out, and went on, with the morning breeze blowing the sheets of MS. all over the room. Sun rose. 1 wrote the last word and went Into the dining room. Six o'clock. I shared a piece of cold chicken with Esca mlllo” [his dog], "who was very miserable and In want of sympathy, having missed the child dreadfully all day. Felt very well, only sleepy; had a bath at seven, and at 8:26 was on my way to London." "The greatest man I ever knew," says Charles M. Schwab, "is John A. Brashear. His autobiography, edited by William Luclen Scalfe, has Just been brought out by Houghton, Mifflin and company. He was one of the finest workmen the world has known, his optieal lenses and machinery were so accurate, that he even took Into consideration when polishing his lenses the ex pansion due to the l.eat of the human body.” A short story by Ruth Suckow to be treasured along with her earlier story, "The Renters," appears In the latest Issue of THE AMERICAN MERCURY. It Is entitled, "The Golden Wedding,” and since Miss Tricked From the California Pelican The glib agent had pern raded Rastua to undergo his physical exu ruination. All went well until the doctor started to fill out the personal que* ion blank. "Do you use wine, spirits, or maJt liquors?*’ he asked. "Ah knowed It!

His father, a Civil war veteran, found It on a battl -field, either Lookout mountain or Buzzard moun tain. and used it the rest of his Ilfs. Suckow’s pet abhorrence, we must judge from her writing, Is “gush,” we will restrain our predilections In that direction, and say that here Is a short story that is good, very good. There Is In It the breath of life, which we missed from Miss Suckow’s long story, COUNTRY PEOPLE. Judging from what we have read of hers, she is destined to be THE Iowa writer who will rank in her field with our corn, hogs and hens in theirs—the sweepstakes winner. Mrs. MacDowell has been awarded the $6,000 prize given by the PIC TORIAL REVIEW company to the woman who, In the opinion of 21 judges chosen from different fields of activity, has done most to pro mote the welfare of our country in the last 12 months. She has labored unceasingly to realize the dream of her husband in establishing the col ony at Peterboro, and all who re joice in seeing unselfish dreams come true will second the choice of the judges. Our Cousin 8quelches Us in a Letter “I read your review. You write well, but I have a bone to pick with you about your reading (of DAE DALUS by Haldane and ICARUS by Bertrand Russell). You made a glaring mistake about one thing which is the red flag to me. Maybe I should have said one of the things. You say, 'Haldane, with the League of Nations as a nucleus, predicts as probable the cessation of war in the next 2,000 years.’ If he had, I would have had no further use for him. When people come out with their beautiful thoughts on what they would do if they had only a year to live, I have often thought to myself I would like to kill off as many planners of war as 365 hard working days would make possible. Yes, and even those who say it is Impossible to do away with war. “But Haldane did not say war would probably continue another 2,000 years. He said If the world did not soon organize to prevent war, then our present civilization is probably doomed in scientific killing and it will take another 2,000 years to build it up again to where there is as good an opportunity as at present for abolishing war. “Likewise I think ‘extreme pessi mism’ is too strong for Icarus.’’ And then to add Insult to injury, ; cur cousin sends along his own review of those books which we read and reviewed in a rather cursory manner a few weeks ago— and his reviews put ours to very shame. If we had a whole page of space we’d tuck them in. As it is, we are going to type them and send them in to the Forum magazine which asks for book reviews of 500 to 600 words and pays for them at the rate of a cent a word.

"Stimulating Refreshmenta." From the Los Angeles Times. Lord Birkenhead In a caustic com parison with the British press recent* ly criticised American journalism se* verely. Among the Items he calls scandalous are the report that his daughter, Lady Eleanor, smoked a cigarette on a college campus and the other that he. Lord Birkenhead, was; said to have Indulged in stimulating! refreshments offered to him by aj deacon of a nonconformist church. It was a faux pas which borders on an unpardonable sin. The reporter; w’ho committed the crime should blush in shame at his exaggeration. But the tenor of the Earl's ra-‘ marks, nevertheless, brings to mind the lines of the sacrilegious bard who wrote: Fast swell* the head that wears a wig And turns a scavvy to a prig. Pity the Commoner who as Peer Frowns at a pint of foaming beer. The reporter may not have had in mind that a deacon would offer the Lord Chancellor a pint of beer, but, the words "stimulating refreshments’'! bore all the earmarks of so unthink able an insinuation. , The Secretary for India goes on to say: "This is the first occasion on which I have had an opportunity to' deal with this matter. I’d like to make it clear that my daughter did smoke a cigarette, but I wasn’t off-! ered any stimulating refreshment by! the deacon.” We are under the Im pression that Lord Birkenhead wrot* a book, “America Revisited,” pub lished in 1924, which should have giv-| en him ample space to complain] about the slight offered him by th# press. Moreover, we would say that, such Justification would have relieved the hook of Its tedious boredom. What we do regret is the turn of Lord Birkenhead's mind regarding' the American press, which he used for all It was worth in 1918. If It was good enough for him then, when'It’ gave him all the advertieement for' hlmeelf and the British cause. It should be good enough now; for American Journalism has changed but little sine* then. "Whst seemed to irritate His Ix>rdshlp most,” quotes the cable from London, "was that the ‘scandalous "sentences’, which the American re-, porters wrote about him were cabled) all over the English-speaking world.” Mr. Frederick E. Smith, now raised to the Earldom of Birkenhead, wan the head of a press bureau and tooli command of the London Times at the beginning of the World war. Ha should know from his own experience that reporters all over the world love sensation and that the English press is not altogether free from the taint.

The engineer of a Santa Fe freight saw a man on the tracks waving his hands, and thinking that there was Im mediate danger ahead, slammed on the brakes, bringing the train to a quick stop, only to be asked for a match.
