BY a Modern Woman.


Dear Miss Grey: A woman
writer i'm your paper the 9TH
err day asked for other women
to say something on tight
skirts. Here 1 am with all
my 1913 theories:
OF course, I do not believe
In extremes in present fash
ions, nor in those of past
periods, one of which is typi-
fled in the hook skirt-which
L think was just as vulgar as
the tight skirt. The incest
kind of girls wore the hoop
skirt and not a word was
said; but then, ah, me, to the
critic and the Poet the girl of
the past is always the best.
That is our only consolation
some day the poets will
rave on the beauty and pur-
ity of outline of the human
form, and the suggestion of
grace as shown in the tight
skirt of the Goth century.
To come back to earth
from my poetical flight, L
think the trouble lies greatly
i'm the minds OF the men of
the present, and those of the
past. The men of that day
saw no vulgaI.ity in the hoop
skirt-neither should the
man of today see harm i'm the
tube, hObble or whatever
skirt a woman chooses to
wear, and the man who has
trained his mind to see only
beauty and grace i'm the fem
mime form is not shocked
when he catches a glimpse of
the same, but illy-cOncealed
by the clinging gown.
1 repeat 1 do. not like eX-
tremes; but any sane-minded
man knows that to discard
the weight and cumbersome
ness of many skirts, flip-flOp-
ping I'm the wind and imped-
ing the free use of the body,
means relief to woman. I,
for one, do not hold myself
responsible for mems morals
as long as my own mind is
right.

Pennsylvania Towns and
Streams Indicate Origin.
Welsh Colony Left It's Impress Upon
Territory Near Philadelphia
Along the Delaware River
Upper and Lower Dublin.

Philadelphia.-Few states have such
peculiar names as Pennsylvania, and
the vicinity Of this city contributes a
complement of them, besides telling as
correctly as history itself of the ma
tionality of early settlers and the
places whence they came.
These. in many instances, show the
%philology of the language to which
they belong; others have been trans
planted from beyond the seas, and
some, such as those of Indian origin,
designate the topography of the To-
calities they name.
Early Welsh settlers left their inn
press on territory contiguous to Phila-
delphia by naming their settlements
after towns, hills and valleys in their
native Gwalia. Bryn Mawr, is one Of
the places they named. Bryn means
hill and Mawr is great or big. and
Pencoyd is the Welsh for head Of the
woods. Pen means head and coyd is
woods
Bala, across the Schuylkill from
Manayunk. in the Welsh is town. It
was named after the birthplace of the
late George B. Roberts, one time prest
dent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. Bala is also the Gaelic OF
town, and is one of the evidences of
the similarity between the tongues.
Gladwyne. which was included in the
old Welsh tract on the west side of
the Schuylkill, means white or clean
section. while Bethryn means broad or
open place, and Uchlyn is the upper
lake. UGH is upper and lynn is lake.
Some say that Upper Dublin and
Lower Dublin. both suburban places,
we're not named by Irish settlers but
by Welsh colonists, and the reason
claimed for this is that the name Dub
Tin is Welsh as well as Irish. The
Welsh for Dublin is dark pool or pwll
Du, while the Irish for Dublin is
Dubh Lin, or black pool. Dubh LO

RAJ originally that part of the River
Lihey on which the city of Dublin now
stands. Our Dublin may be Irish, but,
like the Welsh names. it was trans
planted and has no bearing whatever
upon the topography OF the northern
tier of this city.
There are North Wales and Gwy-
nedd, on the North Penn branch Of the
Philadelphia & Reading railway. They
are On a tract of land bought by
James Penn" and transferred to the
Welsh colony, which named it Gwy-
nedd. The land was divided later and
each Of the two sets of colonists want
ed the name Gwynedd retained, but
both wanted it for their respective
section. There was a compromise on
the northern part being named North
Wales and the lower part was permit
ted to be Gwynedd, which means white
land, or northland, in old Welsh. To
live in Wales was an aspiration of
these sturdy colonists.
In the same territory as Upper Dub
lin is the hamlet of Kincora. Kin is
the Gaelic or old Celtic for head and
cora is sweet scented. There is moth
ing in the locality which calls for such
a cognomen; no knobs, hills of flowers
or ferns scent it at any period of the
year.
Cornwell is from the'old Celtic name
corn vail. which means horned cli6s,
such as are on the coast of Cornwall.
and from where it got it's name in the
early ages of the British Isles
Tullytown is half Celtic also. but
when you reach Tacony and hear the
conductor shout "Tack-oo-nee," then
you should know he is giving you a
touch Of the Indian dialect of the
Delawares tribe. The Delawares are
credited with doing the christening n
their tongue after a swamp neal the
river. There are many Indian names
along the Delaware all the way up to
Pocono, big hills, and Manunka Chunk,
highest mountain spot.
Crossing over to Carbon county
through the Pennsylvania highlands,
you meet scores Of Indian names that
bespeak the topography Of the coun-
try. Some OF them are Mauch Chunk,
Bear mountain and Towamencin. the

Berlin.-The difficult question OF
whether or not it is high treason to

tied by the sentence Of four months

It may be remembered that the Deo-

Sir David Bruce finds that the So
called sleeping sickness In Nyasaland
is not the same as that Of Uganda or
the West Coast, although It belongs
to the same category. It is more
rapid and even more fatal. There has

It is now established beyond doubt
that the disease is carried by glossina
morsitans, a fly which is widely
spread over the whole of Africa.
The disease in Nyasaland and north
