odd Ones From the Old Testament
That Pleased the Puritans.
A certain set Of Christian names
taken from the Bible have been in use

Adam. Moses. Samuel. David. Daniel
Solomon. Abraham. Isaac and Jacob.
Others taken from the saints. like
Peter, Paul John. Stephen and Mat
thew. originally given to children be
cause they were born on the saints
day. are still so common that we think
of them as English names.
These names antedate the use of sur
fact that nearly all of them have given
rise to patronymics. like Jacobson

century missionaries sent out by the
authorities used to baptiZe whole vii

some other saint and the women usual

Johns some additional name like Short
or Strong or White or Black was given
him by the neighbOrs. and so Christian
names and Surnames were united.

fashion among the Puritans to give
children the names of characters like

Advocates Government Control For Forests
In speaking before the National Con-
servation Congress in reference to the
policy of the government in respect to
the activities of the forest service
Honorable Henry S. Graves, United
States forester, declared that there
was no danger of any change in the es.
tablished system of federal ownership
or control. THE nation has an impor-
tant stake in forestry, says Mr. Graves
Here as in all other countries. the
real development of forestry began
when the government took up its
practice. Even today some persons
would leave the forests entirely to pri-
vate owners. others insist that the
public phases of forestry are alto
gether a state function, and federal
activities in this field uncaled for.
Those who hold this view are usually
either lukewarm concerning the need
for forest conservation or opposed to
restricting private activities, Yet I'M
restricted private explorations Of for
ests is impossible if we are to coutinu-
to have the forests that the nation
needs.
National responsibility in forestry
is perfectly clear-cut. There need be
no confusion with an equally clear-cut
responsibility of the states. And as to
private forestry little of value has so
far been done that has not Seen an out
come of public action through state or
federal agencies. or both. The national
work will always be the backbone of
American forestry. not trenching on or

ual efforts bat serving as a guarantee

states cannot meet will be provided

The Whipping Post

The severe criticism of the whipping
post, an Institution in Delaware, has
brought a defense Of the system upon
the floor of the House of Representa-.
tives by Congressman Brockson. The
first mention of the whipping post is
inclined to cause the cold shivers to
chase rapidly along the spinal cord, but
there is seemingly an argument in its
favor. Notwithstanding the resolution
introduced by a Congress nan from
Montana. who declared. such a
method of punishment is relic OF
medieval barharism. &" Congressman
Brockson explains that the whipping
post is only used in extraordinary
crimes, and while he ack nowledges the
diffe renee of opinion about corporal
punishment. he flatly told his col
leagues that Delaware knew just what
it was doing and that its treatment of
criminals should be emulated by other
states. We do have the whipping post
in Delaware for several ofrenses,
said the Congressman, oiTenses which
are of high grade. and of such brutal
character as to indicate the depravity
of the felon. He brings the Scrip.
lures to the aid of his argument de-
cIarng that IN Exodus we find eye
tor eye, tooth for tooth. hand for
hand. foot for foot. burning for burn
ing, wound for wound, strike for
strike. Mr.. Brockson gives the chief
of Police of Wilmington as authority
for the statement that the expert
criminal class has been driven out of
Delaware on account of fear Of the
whipping post. The great detective.
Pinkerton, confirms this claim. and in
defense of the Delaware plan says that
there has been less burglary in the
state of Delaware than IN any other
state.
No one doubts but that the hope of
reward and the fear of punishment are
the two levers that move mankind to
action. says Congressman Brockson
who likewise states that in Delaware
the people are standing for the right
and the best good of humanity, and
have not been led Oft by sentimental
ism about palace prisons in this coun
try. Mr.. Broc&son brings other distin-
guished authorities to aid of his de-

for while the form did not appear until
1343, the penny was introduced by

model n coin struck by the father of

This penny of Ofas was a silver

Too Many professional Foresters. -
The National Conservation Congress
brought out many important features
in reference to forestry, among which
was the declaration that "the great
need OF the present time is that the
foresters have condary education
an education that will ultimately reach
every man who has TO do with the
growing of timber or its harvest. Con-
trastsd with the field of education OF
the highest character the field of Sc
condary education is almost unlimited
and in comparison with the large inter-
esls involved, almost untouched. " 1t
is further declared that there are too
many schools turning out professional
foresters. and not enough teaching for
estry to the layman. Another interest
ing point suggested by Earle H. Clapp
of the forestry service, was to the
effect that reforestation will go far
toward lessening the severity of the
coming timber famine, provided it is
done on large scale and done at once.
According to Mr.. Clamp. the lack Of
forest planting is costing tie country at
least 1000, 600 at the present time,
for each year it is neglected
In general it may be stated that the
most dangerous forest ire periods in
the west are in the middle and late
summer; in the east they are in TIE
spring and fall.
