THE FIDDLERS
It was at a concert in New York
where a celebrated teacher of the
violin was exhibiting his pupils. A
boy of eighteen stepped on the stage
and began to play. A hush fell over
the room. His face, his fingers, ev
ery move and look proclaimed an
ambryo artist.
With easy assurance, in which
was no trace of effort, he played
one number after another, the aud
ience urging him on with enthus
iastic applause. Each of us felt the
thrill of personally discovering this
new star in the musical heavens.
The concert over, a gentleman rush
ed forward to congrtaulate the
teacher.
"You must be wonderfully proud
of that brilliant boy!" he exclaimed.
The teacher was unresponsive.
"Not very proud," he said.
"But surely he will be a master!"
"No. He will probably.be a fid
dler in a restaurant."
The man was a bit indignant
Was this coolness born of profes
sional jealousy the envy of an old
er man for the brilliant youth? The
teacher did not leave him long in
doubt.
"The boy could be a master," he
explained, "but he never will. Some
of the others who perfromed less
well today you will hear from later.
But he no. He will be a fiddler.
It comes too easy; he will not work."
If you have read much of bio
graphy you know that the teacher
was right. Nothing is more impres
sive than the infinite pains which
great men have taken, not merely
to achieve position, but to keep it.
Emerson tells of a letter from an
artist friend describing Michaelan
gelo's huge mural painting of the
Last Judgment, which the friend
"had the opportunity of seeing very
near, and was astonished at the mi
nute finish of muscles and nerves,
finished like a miniature." No de
tail was too small for the artist
whose shoulders were bent by the
long effort of finishing his immortal
pictures under the dome of St. Pe
ter's. Booth, the great actor, was never
satisfied. One night, after a per
formance in which he seemed to the
audience to have surpassed him
self, a friend went to congratulate
him.
He "found Booth with his head
in his hands in the deepest dejec
tion, from which not even the praise
of an old friend could arouse him,
disgusted at having given so miser
able a performance."
Whether great success is worth
what it costs or whether mediocrity
i3 a happier state are debatable
questions. But there is no secret
about the formula. Eternal work is
the difference between the artist
and the fiddler.

POLITICS
Presidential politics always be
come a topic of conversation in any
President's second year. Some peo
ple are hinting that Mr. Coolidge
would like to run again in 1932. Mr.
Coolidge is reported to have said
to a friend that there are only two
possible candidates for the presi
dency next time, Herbert Hoover
and "some Democrat." The Repub
licans have always renominated
their Presidents and must do so in
Hoover's case, whether they like it
or not. So the only point worth
discussing is who will be the "some
Democrat."
From here it looks certain that it
will not be Mr. Smith. It also looks
certain that it will not be Governor
Ritchie of Maryland. Both are
avowed "wets," though there are
other reasons given why they will
not be serious contenders. Many
people are looking carefully at Gov
ernor Franklin Roosevelt of New
York. Governor Roosevelt is "dry"
but has a "wet" party organization
back of him. Some suggest Owen
D. Young: others think he has too
close a connection with power in
terests. Others are whispering
"Keep an eye on Harry Byrd." Byrd
Is a dry Democrat who has just
retired from the Governorship of
the dry Commonwealth of Virginia.
He is a newspaper man and a bro
ther of Admiral Byrd, the explorer.
REDUCING
We can blame a good deal of the
trouble of the wheat growers on the
world wide effort to avoid surplus
fat, according to Professor Jamos
L. Boyle of Cornell University.
Bread consumption in the United
States has declined 20 per cent, Pro
fessor Boyle says, because women
and men, too are afraid that eat
ing bread will make them fat.
The taste of the ultimate consum
er Is the controlling factor in every
line of industry. Short skirts injur
ed the textile manufacturers but
made fortunes for the silk stocking
weavers. Makers of dress goods the
world over combined to establish a
new fashion with longer skirts,
which Is beginning to make head
way. It will bo harder for wheat
growers, millers and bakers to con
vince women that a reasonable am
ount of fat makes them more at
tractive.
KINGS
There are a few kings left, but
they are mainly figure-heads. Mus-
solin rules Italy; JrTimo oe nivera,
up to a few weeks before his recent
death, ruled Spain; Admiral Horthy
rules Hungary; King Alexander of
Juco-Slavia, King Christian ot Don
mark, King Albert of Belgium,
Queen Wilhelmlna of Holland and
Queen Marie of Roumanla hold
their thrones only because they do
not attempt to run their nations.
The Countess of Warwick, a de
scendant of King Charles II of Eng
land and of Oliver Cromwell, who
has been an Intimate of royalty
from elrlhood and a power in Brit
ish politics, predicts that the pre
sent king, George V, will be the last
itino- nf Enp and, and tnat me
prince of Wales will be the first
President or tne Brraan i"uu"
under the name of David Windsor.
If that proves true, and stranger
things have happened, he will have
more real power than his father has
ever dared to exercise.
FISHING
It takes a fisherman anywhere
fmm two to acven or eight hours to
land an 800-pound swordilsh after
he has once sunk the harpoon in n.
The sword llBh is one of New Eng
land's favorite foods and is iounu
In inure numbers off Block Island
and In Nantucket Sound. To speed
up their capture a method of elec
trocuting the fish has been devised.
The harpoon wire carries a wire
core connected with a generator on
the fishing schooner. Another wire
attached to a metal plate is hung
overboard and the seawater com
pletes the circuit.
The method is not exactly "sport
ing," but commercial fishermen are
not sportsmen, and the more fish
they can catch In a given time the
greater their profits.
HEATING
Everybody who has tried to heat
a house by electricity knows that it
is expensive. But also everybody
knows that there is a time between
midnight and daybreak when elec
tric power plants are practically
idle. In those hours the power com
panies have surplus power to sell
for which they can and usually will
make a very low rate.
A New Jersey inventor has devis
ed a way of using this cheap cur
rent. A large tank of water in the
basement Is raised to the boiling
point. The tank, being thoroughly
insulated, retains the heat through
the day and the hot water circulat
ing through the radiators keeps the
house warm until the hour for
cheap current again arrives, when
the "juice" is automatically switch
ed on.
'HOME POINTERS
(From Si'hool of Home Economics,
Oregon State College.)
If lemon pie meringue is cut with
a knife dinned in cold water, the
meringue will not stick or pull from
the slice.
Beets boiled without cutting will
not bleed and become tough. When
tender, they may be put under cold
water until cool enough to handle
and the skins rubbed off with the
hands.
Scissors are much more satisfac
tory than a knife for cutting off
the fins and tails of fish when clean-
ng them.
Sweet potato croquettes are often
nice addition to the luncheon
menu, To mane tnem aaa one-nan
cup of cream to two cups of mashed
boiled sweet potatoes. Beat smooth
and add one-quarter cup of sugar,
an egg, a tablespoonful of butter
and a little salt. Roll in egg and
bread crumbs and fry in deep fat.
Paper hand towels are becoming
very popular for kitchen use, from a
sanitary as well as an economical
standpoint.
When lemons become hard, put
ting them in a pan of hot water
kept at the same temperature for
about two hours, will soften tne
emons and make them juicy once
more.
When baking any casserole dish
such as macaroni, or potatoes au
gratin, a thin layer of bread crumbs
sprinkled over the top of the dish
makes it look doubly attractive and
appetizing

for potatoes.
