THE NEW WET AND DRY LINE
UP

AS result of the November elec-
tion there are now fourteen states
in the dry column. They are Ari-
zona, Colorado. Georgia, Kansas,
Maine. Mississippi. North Carolina.
North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Tennessee, Virginia, Washington
and West Virginia.
There remains fifteen states in
which the population live in So
called no-license territory. They
are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida.
New Hampshire, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Texas and Vermont.
There remain eleven states in
which 25 per cent. of the popula-
tion lives in no-license territory.
They are California, Delaware, Illi-
nois. Maryland, Massachusetts,.
Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Utah,
Wisconsin. At diffhrent times in
the past 23 states have adopted the
policy of prohibition. All but nine
for one reason or another, aban-
doned it for local option or control
by license.
California and Ohio, out of the six
states in which statewide prohibi-
tion amendments were voted on this
fall, elected to remain in the wet
column. In Ohio the new amend
ment to the constitution practically
places the state in the wet column
forever, as it provides that no new
liquor legislation shall be intro.
duced into the legislature. The
present laws, however, are very
strict and are carried out to the let
ter. The new amendment does not
prohibit the holding of wet and dry
elections in communities, under the
laws that are at present in force.
The states that have voted dry
during the year 1914 are Arizona
Colorado, Oregon, Washington and
Virginia.

London, Dec. 2.-Russian Poland

far as military operations are con-
cerned. Reports from rival army
headquarters indicate that any de-

in the balance. THE conviction Is

heavy losses, but claim to have in

According to Petrograd dispatch

momentous of the whole war.

To Solve The Servant Problem

that they will be sought by the ALI
ance as residents. They are needed
to form the family and to create the
home atmosphere, both necessary
factors in any course of really prac-
tical training for servants. For them
the negro students will be taught to
cook, sweep, dust, wash and iron, all
in the best way.
Courses of work for the servants
are being mapped out by commit
tee. The negro women will be taught
first of all the rules of personal hy-
giene and cleanliness. Promptness
and a sense of responsibility are
other virtues upon which the school
will lay particular stress. Cooking,
laundry work and housework will be
taught according to the most adj
vanced methods known.
The school is designed primarily
for negro servants. This is because
Mrs. Alice E. Whitaker, president of
the alliance, and other members be-
lieve that the logical solution of the
negro problem is efficient Industrial
training, and that the logical solution
of the housewives problem is efficient
colored help in any locality in which
the negro is SO generally employed
for domestic service as in Washing
ton. There will, however, be outside
classes conducted at the school for
white girls and women who wish to
learn cooking and home management
The negro pupils will receive thei1
room, board and instruction free OF
charge.

PURITAN NAMES PASSING

the fashion among the Puritans to
give children the names OF charac-
ters from the Old Testament, ana
odd ones like Melchisidek and Barzil-
lai were preferred. Among these
were Abel, Levi, Jesse, Amos, Asa,
Isaiah, Ephriam, Gideon. Malanchi
Job. Abner, Hosea. Ezekiel, Jere-
miah, Zachariah, Asher, Eli and num-
dreds of others.
For some reason the use of these
names has largely ceased. We can
understand why Ebenezer has been
dropped, though once one OF the
most common names in New Eng
land, for it is decidedly unmelodious.
No modern girl could fall in live
with an Ebenezer. But most of the
Puritan Bible names have strong,
manly ring and have been borne by
able men. That they are going out
of use is very evident from COM
pairing the early class lists OF Yale
with later ones.
Twenty five classes in the early
eighteenth century, numbering $40
graduates, show 119 with Puritan
given names. This is about 80 per
cent. Ten classes in the twentieth
century, number 3,037, show but
twenty-five given names of his class,
or less than l per cent. Ebenezer
and Barzillai have completely disap-
peared. Nor is Peletiah or Zodoc to
be found.
