The green over: hanging balconies, the many notes of color in the dresses of the girls, the gleam of the gold coins on their bodies and the clank of their anklets and bracelets as they walk down the street make a barbaric spectacle, At night when the girls have their dances in the little coffee houses in the street of the Ouled Nails, it is a most interesting sight. Every one seems absorbed in the dance. The at- tendants and the audience sit around in a ring on their haunchles, sipping mint tea and coffee, calling to the girls and dancers who sit on a plat- form before you. Each awaits ber turn to come down to her dance with the confidence of a prima donna on the opera stage. The dance is very wonderful. First the gyrations of the neck, the rest of the body held absolutely rigid. Then the quivering of the shoulders with the rest of the body rigid. The hum and the din of the little cafes become very exciting, These Ouled Nails dancers daughters of the Nile, are often mur- dered for their gold. Conceit and Timidity Bars to Advancement Henry Ward Beecher once called conceit “the most incurable disease known to the human soul.” Conceit, however, is not to be con- fused with pride, self-respect or self- confidence. There is merit in these qualities and many a man of limited abilities has stamped and pounded his way to the seats of the mighty. But the conceited man moves In quite a different realm. His is simply an unreasoning, unfounded opinion of his own importance. He is a giant in a world of pygmies. Many men fail because of timidity and modesty. They secretly tell them- selves that they don’t amount to much, that they are mediocre and that nobody is interested in their words or deeds. They slink into the hidden re- cesses of obscurity of complete fail- ure, There is a sane middle ground upon which those who get anywhere worth while in life must ever stand. Neither conceit nor timidity will carry anyone very far. Honesty is the best policy even in appraising one's own talents.—Thrift Magazine. Berlin’s Many Mills The Berliner on the whole knows little about his drinking water except that it ranks among the best and purest of any capital. Most people living there think it is taken from the many lakes surrounding Berlin. But this is not the case. With the excep- tion of 3 per cent, writes a Christian Science Monitor correspondent, the eitire water supply of Berlin is ob- tained from wells, some reach as far down into the earth as 100 meters. The consumption of water in the summer reaches 500,000 cubic meters daily, but the water works are capable of supplying even more than that— namely, 740,000 cubic meters daily, so that an emergency can easily be met. Next year they will even be in a posi tion to produce 800,000 cubic meters daily. Books Must Have Air Recent tests by the United States bureau of chemistry analyzing a large number of worn leather bookbind- ings, show that leather books need pure air and deteriorate when ex- posed to harmful sulphurous and acid ic impurities. Backs of leather books deteriorate quicker than the sides because ordinarily they are more ex- posed to light and impure air, the tests reveal. To prolong the life of treasured leather bindings, steps should be taken to prevent their deterioration through the absorption of atmospheric impurities, the bureau advises. Certain coatings and fin- ishes, notably neat’s foot and castor oil, are stated to be excellent for the purpese Hard to Duplicate In a Colorado town was a man too poor to indulge in any luxuries other than a superabundance of children. After the coming of a number of sin gles and doubles a loving but unrea sonable wife presented him with trip- lets—three girls—and he sought for some family to adopt them. A neighbor was rather inclined to take them, but his good wife thought one would perhaps be enough. They were talking it over before their lit tle daughter, who said: “Why don’t we take one of them—or don’t they want to break the set?” Inexcusable Mistake There is a delightful old Irish wom- an who keeps a corner fruit stand In a Western town. One day a gentle- man disposed to be facetious took up u fine melon from her stall, and said gravely: “You have pretty good ap- ples in this state; but where I come from we have them twice that size.” The old lady looked up from her stool, surveyed the joker coolly and replied in a tone of pity: “Ah, what for should 1 be wastin’ me breath to talk to wan that takes our gooseber- ries for apples!” When in Doubt Lead Trumps By JANE OSBORN —— =1 (Copyright.) SLY was old-fashioned enough to feel that even when a girl found herself really in love, she had no busi- ness to propose. Her roommate in col- lege had told her she was all wrong. They talked the matter over before Katy had even met Tom Drew, when she hadn't any idea that she really would fall in love, Madelaine—that was Sally’s room- mate-—had said: “It might happen that a girl fell in love with a certain man who hadn't fallen in love merely be- cause he had never thought of it. In the old days girls often didn’t fall in love until after some admirer had made love to them and in a way roused their latent feelings. After an honest-to-goodness proposal and a few kisses those old-fashioned girls were often terribly in love, got married and lived happily ever after. Well, there no reason why the same thing mightn’t happen with a man. Besides, it isn’t at all honest or frank or up tg date not to tell a man you like him ter- ribly if you really do.” That is what Madelaine had said, and now that Sally had fallen really in love with Tom Drew she remem- bered it. Still, she wasn't so ultra modern as Madelaine. But truly the idea of actually proposing to Tom struck her as utterly preposterous. She was turning over the situation in her mind as she sat propped up against the lounge pillows in the room she shared with Madelaine in the col- lege dormitory. Madelaine and three other girls on the same corridor were playing bridge and Sally was going through the gestures of studying for a history quiz. But, of course, she wasn't—she was thinking of Tom and wondering what she ought to do. Just then she heard Helen sitting at the card table saying: “I haven't an idea what to do. I am in an ocean of doubt—" Helen was, of course, re- ferring to the way she should play her bridge hand, but the remarks so exactly applied to her own state of mind that Sally listened from her vantage place among the pillows. “Only one thing to do,” offered Madelaine at the table. “When in donbt—lead trumps.” And so the game went on, and as Sally sat there trying to study she kept thinking of that advice. “When in doubt lead trumps.” The next day came a letter from Sally's brother. He and Tom were passing through the college town on their way to some sort of business convention, They would get there the next Saturday and have time for luncheon and maybe a show that afternoon with dinner and a little dancing afterwards. Sally's brother asked Sally to provide a good-looking girl for him and added: “You'll do for Tom, I suppose.” No letter from Tom, nothing to indicate that he had thought much about the proposed visit, Still he was coming, and Sally was thrilled. At luncheon that Saturday—Made- laine and Tom, Sally and Sally's brother—the conversation chanced to center about bridge. “Speaking of bridge,” Sally began cautiously, “what 1s Madelaine'’s trump suit? In other words, what should you say was Madelaine’s strong- est line?” Sally turned to her brother. “You told me to get a good-looking girl and of course she’s that, but do you think that she is a really truly vamp, or terribly clever or awfully nice—or what?” Madelaine was as much interested in the discussion as the others, and when Sally’s brother concluded that being a downright thoroughbred struck him as being her trump suit, she was perfectly satisfied. “And what'®s my trump suit?” Sally. “The gift of gab,” said her brother, “with extreme simplicity thrown in.” Tom looked at Sally with a smile that made her blush a little. “Your trump suit,” I should think,” Tom said, “was being what I call ter- ribly nice—I should think so,” he added, “though you have never been especially nice to me. Besides, you are “pretty, I imagine—though I am not much of a judge.” Sally made rapid calculations. “He doesn’t think I'm terribly clever or a vamp,” she observed to herself, “or inspiring or tantalizing or anything like that—just nice. Being nice is my trump suit,” As they sat beside each other in the theater and later, at a pleasant little country inn, Sally suppressed any impulses she might have had to be very clever, or flirtatious or in- triguing or mystifying. She was just supremely pleasant and what Tom called “terribly nice.” There was time next morning for a short call from the boys before their train left. Tom contrived to get Sally to show him a certain memorial tab- let on the campus—a secluded spot on Sundays—and standing there he told her that he loved her. “I don’t believe I'd ever thought of it before yesterday,” he said. “I don’t believe I ever knew you before. I think I thought you were something of a vamp-—terribly clever, But really you are—well, you're just yourself, I figured it all out last night. I know it is terribly sudden—it isn’t quite fair springing it on you out of a blue sky—" That was as far as he got with his proposal because by that time Sally asked JDad accepted. cedure, "if WEEKLY HEALTH TALK FROM STATE PHYSICIAN Some Iuteresting Facts and Advice Con- cerning Heart Disease and Pre- vention Methods “One of the two major problems that are troubling public health officials at this time is heart disease.
