Answers to Correspondents

To w. T. F.. who asks for the coat
of-arms of the Fletcher family:
The Fletcher arms are azure, two
horses heads erased ermine, and in
base an anchor wits sable. or. On
chief wavy of the last. three hurts,
each charged with a pheon argent.
Crest. a dexter arm endowed In ar

hind the arm an anchor erect or.
motto, Nee quarerere Nee Spernere
Despise Honor" The horse in heraldry
signifies readiness for King and coun-
try: 1t is one of the principal bear
ings. An anchor means succor In ex-
tremity. A pheon, or spearhead readi-
ness for military service. An arm, In
dustry. The shield of the House of
Hanover still bears a horse. the white
horse of Wodin,' which Hengist bore
OH his shield when he invaded Britain.
To 7. P. D.. who asks whether there
is any relationship between the Dow
family and the Doude family:
There is one tradition which says
that the progenitor of the Doude fam
lily in America was a brother to the
progenitor of the Dow family here.
Certain it is that the spelling of the
name Dow is so varied that 1t Is inn
possible to distinguish any branch of
the family according to the way its
Inemers originally spelled the name.
Some of the old spelling are Dow,
Douw Dove, Bowed. Dowde, Doude,
Dowd. Doud, and even Dodd. So 1t Is
quite possible that some who bear the
name Dow today were originally of
the same family as some who spell the
name Dodd today And. too, the Dowds
and Bows may originally have sprung
from the same family. The orthogra-
ply of this family name illustrates,
as does that of few families. the
strange whims and fancies the New
England colonists took about the suit
able spelling of their names.
The arms of the family are de-
scribed Sable Jesse dancette ermine
between three doves argent.
The name Dow appears to be from
dove, the bird, and most of the arms
borne by the various members of the
family show the dove prominently dis
played

poor when he tramped from Halifax
20 his first home at Westcock.
In his record Jonathan Barlow says
That he sailed from England in the
Thomas and William. In the course
of time he landed on the Ortness Is
lands He found the people there very
poor, and he comments much as
present day provider would on the low
cost of food in the out-of-the-w way

however, the prices Barlow noted could
not be matched nowadays. Eggs. he
remarks, were 'onepence per dozen.
ale two quarts for twopence." After
a short stay In the Ortness Islands,
Barlow sailed for Halifax. He stayed
nent settlement. But that place
would not do. he said FOR the land
was upon a rock; so there was no
work for a husbandman."
Then, supposedly by foot. Barlow
made his way to Cumberland. Again.
like a man of today, he comments on
the cost of 1iving-this time on the
found everything very dear, and was
glad to lie among the hay"
This journey occurred, 1t is thought,
i'll 1874. From Cumberland Jonathan
made his way to Westcock, in Sack
vile township. New Brunswick. Can
ada, where he "hired to Sam Rogers"
as a husbandman for lone pound fif
teen shillings month"
Barlow liked Westcock. In his own
words he found the mosquitoes very
troublesome. but the land was very
good" So he set about planning for
permanent settlement. He bought $50
acres of farm land and began to clear
and work 1t.
One of the attractions of Westcock

who bore the uncompromising name of
Plain Rogers. She had herself lived
iii Westcock only short time, and
she and the young Englishman soon
became engaged to be married. Their
marriage took place on September %,

The Barlow family in the south was
founded by Thomas who came from
England and settled in Caroline county.
Va, in 1896. He had a son, Henry.
eorn in Caroline county in 1925, who
moved to Kentucky in 1890 with his
wife and seven children.
One of these children was Thomas,
who was born in Caroline county, Va.
IN 1850. and died at Georgetown, KY.
January 3d. 1925. Thomas fought as
volunteer under Lafayette at the
battle of Yorktown. One of the chill
dren of Thomas and his wife, Nancy
Isbell, moved to Salt Lake City. He
was a gold and silversmith and dem
tist. He coined the first perfect money
in Utah.
The name Barlow comes from the
name of townships in County York.
England, and it is supposed that the
Barlows all originally came from that
county. The name used to be spelled
Barlow, Barlowe. Barlo and some
times Barley.
The biggest Barlow family in Amer
lea was founded in the new world by
Jonathan Barlow, Who, it is supposed,
came from a section of the county Of
Yorkshire about 20 miles from the city
of York and about 40 years ago.
Nothing definite is known about
Jonathan's English ancestry nor his
life in England: but in the possession
OF one of his descendants is an old
copybook wherein is written, in Jona
than's own hand, an account of his
Journey to the new world.
In the Barlow family of this branch
there is tradition that Jonathan had
an elder brother who inherited the
greater part of his fathers fortune,
according to English custom. There
Is also tradition that Jonathan had
two sisters, named Elizabeth and Anne
for whom he named two of his daugh
tiers. There is still another tradition
although a very misty one--that there
was another brother who came to
America.
1t is said that Jonathan Barlow left
England with $500 as his part of his
fathers fortune; but his own account
of his journey, preserved in the copy
book already mentioned. makes it seem
probable that this statement is exag-
gerated. He surely considered himself

42-Centimetre Guns


According to reports brought home by
American army officers who have been In
the European war zone. there appears to
be no doubt that Germany is In possess
sion Of the 42-centtimetre guns about the
existence of which there has been con.
siderable speculation and discussion.
This gun Is the product of the Krupp
in modern ordnance 1t Is a howitzer
almost 20 inches in diameter, and, as
near as can be learned. carries a projec-
tile weighing between 1900 and 400
pounds. When this explodes 1t has force
enough to wreck or practically wipe out
q three-story brick house. On level ground
It digs a hole 10 feet deep and 60 wide.
1t is not definitely known whether any
poisonous substance has been introduced
into the explosive charge, but the effect
Of the fumes is fatal.
If a shell explodes inside walled in
closure 1t makes the atmosphere unbreath-
able, and. as the force of the explosion
renders man insensible at 1870 yards, It
has deadly effect onrthe garrison or for
tification against which the shell is used.
The gun is supposed to carry IA miles, and
while the howitzer shell Is slower in flight
than the shell of naval gun, 1t is rapid
and deadly enough for all practical pur-
poses.
The German gun is so immense in weight
that it takes 30 horses to haul It, Trav-
cling ON first-class roads 1t can be hauled
by powerful motors, but for cross-country
transportation horses are relied on. 1t
has to have a special foundation from
which to be fired. and until recently con-
crete foundation such as was necessary
for the gun took two weeks to dry and
harden.
Some of the expert chemists Of the
Krupp works. however. formulated new
brand of concrete. much too expensive for
ordinary commercial use, but effective
enough for military purposes. This con-
crete will set within 4s hours. The founda-
ton necessary for this immense gun 10
30 feet in diameter and IA feet deep.
Germany recently was experimenting
with another monster gun capable OF
shooting across the English channel and
covering the English coast for six miles
north and south. One of these guns was
actually built and work was commenced
Installing it on a height back of Calais,
which is the narrowest practical point on
the English channel The work was
noted by aviators. and some of the Brit
ish naval vessels managed to destroy the.
gun by shell fire before It was ready for

Of $4,000 churches representing 100000
members And in of the that those churches
belong to 100 different denominations there's certainly
plenty of opportunity for the unifying process
There be question that the continuous split
ting up of denominations has become cause Of weak
and ineniciency in the religious world. There may
have been good originally formulation
any particular of organization but in most
that reason today of slight force Men and
women not disposed quarrel over many points of
doctrine Theology no longer the vital thing was
for centuries Congregations know little about the ar
tices of faith they supposed profess care still
less. The great masses who seldom church doo
care at all for UGH matters
An interested religion even those who do not
attend church but what they mean by religion is the
simple essentials of Christian belief conduct which
pretty much the all the Protestant churches
and which established hearts and lives of mil
lions who have regular church connection.
If the denominations get together on these es.
sentals with such unity the Christian church
