REMARKABLE COAT OF ARMS
English Town Centuries Ago Chose
GreWsome Subject.

"Since the Sensational production Of
'SalOme' in New York, and more re-
Gently at Paris" said an employe Of
the Astor library, many persons have
visited the reference department of
this library to look at Arthur Charles
FoX-Davies' Book of Public Arms "
"Why?' asked tbs reporter.
Because they have learned that the
coat of arms of PenZance, Cornwall,
Wales, is a head of John the Baptist
on charger or platter. Why this curl.
Gus device should have been chosen
in A. ID. 1914 by the good citizens of
the old Welsh seaport is enigmatical.
One solution of the problem is that
when the townsmen begged for a char.
ter and an emblem they had in mind
Pen which means a headland, and
Sans which means holy, and though
ignorance they failed to distinguish
the difference between a human head
and a headland.
Imagine the policemen and other
uniformed officials going about with
such a device on their helmets, bad
ges and belt clasps"

THAT BABY
By ANNIE HAMILTON D0NNELL
(Copyright.)

That-baby again! Richard Taft's
thoughts hesitated between the first
two words, but he was not guilty of
profanity He only 2roaned. He could
hear the baby's crows and Miss Aud
Tey's little high, falsetto croOnings. 1t
was just as it had been yesterday day
befOre-day before that. Heavens and
earth, when hadn't the baby Crowed
and Audrey crOoned.
Richards hotel was a mile away
from this pleasant summer place of
the Baby. and on the way down this
afternoon there had been plenty of
time for him to face the desperateness
of his situation. The items stood out
in indigo lettering before him. Item
one: no hope of Baby's mother return
ing. Item two: no hope of devoted
young aunts extraction from Baby,
even for minutes blessed space.
Item three: the transatlantic steamer,
City of Baltimore, would leave her
dock tomorrow morning, six o'clock.
Plying angels, could 1t be worse?
Item four Richard hid in his heart,
but il Outweighed all the rest II he
did not get the chance to take the little
wkite hands of that slender slip of a
girl, grooming love songs to a baby
down there, into his hands and hold
them prisoners there while he said
what he had come 10 say six days ago
well. how do you think he was to go
seas over without that chance? And
that only a wisp of a baby should
stand in the way. 1t was maddening.
He STROBE on till he came into the
immediate radius of crows and croC 5.
He had murder in his heart

There are many poor Jewish girls Of keen
and brilliant Intelligence and eager thirst
for knowledge who distinguish themselves
in the high schools. but can go no further
for lack OF means. The movement TO found
a special scholarship for them has no sec
tartan animus. but IL recognizes the fact
that IL is ten times as hard for a Jewish
girl TO earn her way through college as il
is for a non-Jewess, the prejudice against
her race and religion being a hindrance to
her in getting employment IN any line Of
work, even 10 domestic service. Another
hindrance is the-prefudice against higher
edlcatlon for women, which stu exists
even among American men. and Is much
stronger among Jewish men. owing 10 their
