Hunting the Submarine
From the Washington Star.

 At the beginning of the war the Eng
 fish navy had new problem to combat in fighting the underwater craft. But they have. grappled with the difficulty. and now they have means for tracing sub marines immediately they enter certain areas that are among the most carefully guarded secrets of the navy. But among those who are interested in the navy's work. what Is common knowledge now Is that they can trace submarine travel ing under water by a curious formation of the wave it makes on the surface Eng lish sailors are trained to observe this wave. On a rough sea this wave Is not so easily picked out, but their trained eyes can do 1t. and, what Is more. once they get sight of this wave; they have no difficulty in following it.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded gray hair to it's natural color dates dack to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair Beautifully dark, glossy and abundant Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of ."Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. D you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff. dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A we'll known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- p1icatdon or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft sand abundant.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES cowLEs. THE BLAKE E FAMILY

The Pilgrim. William Blake came from Little Baddow Essex. to America in the Mary and John. He was made freeman of Dorchester. Mass, 1928, which shows that he was a church member. As record CT and town clerk, he received 20 saillings annually. and was rate free. His son James, judging from the inventory of his estate was man of property. his house, orchard, blow land, meacow, pasture and woodland being valued at G400. The in- ventory gives the value of Bible and other books and spectacles, G2 16s,r and a gold ring and silver spoons, 91 1Ss.
 Another Interesting list is that of sup plies for the mounets, furnished at MT. Blake's funeral It reads as follows:
 dog. mems and womens gloves, G15.
 sA yds. taffely, e2 5s.
 yds. alamonde, &4 Is.
 black paper fans 16s.
 14 yds. black silk 10s
 Lutestring and black girdles were other items, with credit for IS pairs of gloves returned and two yards wide crepe, q.
 The BlaSes were related by marriage to the families of Capt Jonathan Mix, rev olrtionary patriot, and of Gov. Sir William Phipps. Trumbulls and Chandlers were other connections.
 Among Christian names which figure in old documents are the curious ones Sarisa, Statira, Manara, Damaris, Pat ronella, Barzella and zara. Dorcas and Experience, cousins, might reasonably complain that their names in comparison were too commonplace. Freelove was favorite name.
 The$arns reproduced that of Col. John Blake, is argent, a fret gules Crest, a mountain cat passant, guardant proper. Motto-'Virtus sola nobilitas virtue is the only nobility A fret the heraldic true lovers knot, is a valued emblem. In Edward HTS French war, four gen erals were each granted fret or on ground gules. Liberty. vigilance, fore cast and courage are signified by the cat With the Egyptians, this animal was sacred to the goddess Pasht, their Diana the huntress. Argent, a fret gules, is the arms borne by many branches of the family, but the .crests are infinite-a leop- ard, horses head, a dragon among the number Another motto is "Bene prae- paratum pectus'-a heart well prepared. Admiral Blake's arms was argent, a chevron between three garbs sable. Crest, on chapeau gules, turned up ermine, martlet argent.

The Bakers Shop

from the NaShV1lle Banner President Poincare has conferred an
 honor on 14year- old girl in. France
 and complimented her 1O-year-old brother because they took the place
 of their father, a baker. called to the
 colors, and have supplied the com
 munity in which they live with bread
 The incident leads the Louisville Cour-
 ier-Journal to say:
 Tn many, southern homes 1t will be round hard to grasp the fact that the
 absence Of baker from the village would create dearth of bread The
 custom is in the greater part of the United States, and especially in the rural south, to regard the staff of life as an article of home manufacture.
 The baker is depended, upon in emer- gency-When the cook has fled the scene of her former endeavors or when
 the grate has burned out in the kitch-
 en stove-but the customary bread is
 not bought of the baker If two en-
 terprising children should conduct a
 bakery in the absence of their father
 in southern village the size of Ex- odun, they would be considered locally two enterprising children, but not the lifesavers of the village and the coun- trysde.'
 The lamented Robert L. Taylor, it is remembered, drew the chief distinction hSeWceH lHe HoTtn ana the SOutn as that between "cold lightbread and hot biscuit,' and when Europeans are taken into the equation the distinction Is more pronounced still
 | The northern rural population mostly eat their bread cold but they bake it in their own homes. In the south it is served warm and cornhread divides the honors with mot biscuit" But the baker in later years has come very much into evidence in all southern towns of any size and is a valued ad : junct to the industrial commrs;ty, though by no means indispensable [ Possibly the tendency of all old and more thiclSly settled communities is to | buy bread ready made rather, than the materials out of which it may be pro- l duced at home. The American pioneer grew his own corn and wheat and the
 miller was the only coadjutant needed l to produce bread. In the cotton regions of the south corn mill is usually kept | in -"the gin house. and the meal pro- ! duced at home while the flour is | bought crude from "the store"

 To Interested" who asks for full account of the Miner heraldry." The arms of Thomas Miner the Pil- grim, granted in 1906, is gules, a fesse argent, between three plates. Crest, a mailed hand, holding battle ax, armed at both ends, proper. Motto, Spero ut t1delis q Hope as FaithfuD. Burke | also gives this as the motto of the Mynords and Baskerville- Mynors; but
 the arms differ slightly In regard to
 the symbolism a fesse is a military | belt, or girdle of honor Plates, or white roundels, denote generosity. The hand is pledge of faith. sincerity and justice. The battle ax indicates Cru sader ancestor. As to the colors, gules
 means military fortitude and argent peace and sincerity. ti. Different crests are given by Burke
 for branches of the family in London, Hertfordshire and Staffordshire One is
 a cub1t arm, in the hand; lions gamb
 or leg erased, sable; the other, wolf's
 head, erased, sable, devouring sinister
 hand. The wolf is an old and most un-
 common heraldic symbol It signifies a
 valiant captain, who, in the end, after
 long siege and hard fight, gains his
 ends. It was an old Roman and also
 Egyptian emblem. Lycopolis derives it's
 name from the veneration in which the
 wolf was held. The bearer of the wolf crest can go even farther back-to
 the ark itself-for Macedon, the grand
 son of Noah, bore an ensign emblaz-
 oned with a wolf's head. Miner arms
 have been. impaled with those of many eminent families, to say nothing of the heraldic insignia of Ethelred, King of England, who can be claimed as an- cestor by one branch of the Miner fam fly.

 If Mir. Brooks, Brook or Brook e

 name-and variety is the spice of life, although trite saying-let him write
 n Brockx or Broeckx
 He has only to go back few cen- turies, say to 1000, and he will find that his grandfather of that day and generation, was either Broeckx, or Brucksch, or Brucks, or Bruksch, of Brooks. That is, if he came from Ger many or Holland. If he was a plain Anglo Saxon gentleman, he was John | Brok, Esq, say. Or he was Broke or 1 Broc, or de Broc, or de la Broc. or de la Brok or del Broke.

 Present day forms of the name are Brook, Brooks and Brooke. It is impos- sible to ring many changes on the name.
 Ralph Brooke, York Herald, 1896, is said to have lived near the mouth of a brook, and he was at first Brokes-
 mouth, but changed it to a simpler and
 saner form. Brooker and Brookman are other variations of the name derived from Brook.
