SUBWAY SHELTER.
(By Associated PresS.)

London, Feb. 16.-Plans have been
completed to permit London's vast
floating population to find shelter in
the underground railway tubes in the
event of hostile attack. The city has
hundreds of miles of subways, afford.
ing an ideal place of asfety from bomb
of shell fire.
The availability Of the subways was
first called to the attention of the au-
thorities some weeks ago by an enter
prising citizen. Since that time de-
tailed arrangements have been made
for the regulation of traffic if raid
comes. Special telephones have been
installed throughout the system; all
employees have been Instructed just
how to act, and everything has been
organized to prevent panic. Women
and children will receive preference
but all those who seek shelter may d.
SO without purchasing a ticket
In case of prolonged attack it i,
suggested that subway traffic be sus
pended entirely and the system con
verted into a stronghold superior t.
the forts of feudal times.

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
ELSIE'S slSTER-PART II.


Telling wrong stories was the only
fault that Rose had, but that was a
thing that Mrs. Fisher felt she could
not overlook, and after trying many
ways, and failing to-break Rose of this
wicked habit and make her understand
how wrong it was, she decided to send
Rose back to the Home. F''@
Rose would promise each time never
to tell another, especially if Elsie
cried, for she dearly loved her, but the
promise was soon forgotten, and she
would tell another.
But one day something happened to
cure Rose of this dreadful habit.
The gardener told Mrs. Fisher two
of the rose bushes were broken and as
the children were playing near them
she asked Rose and Elsie if they had
broken them.
Rose answered first and said she did
not do it, and from the way she re-
piled Mrs. Fisher told her if she found
out she had done it she would send
her back to the Home the next day.
Il did it, mother" said Elsie, Il ran
through the bushes and broke them"
You and Rose have been told not
to play near those bushes" said her
mother "and shall punish you. Go to
your room; you cannot come to the
supper table, and you must stay in
your room all day tomorrow.
Elsie eyes filed with tears but she
went to her room.
Mrs. Fisher was sure that both little
girls had told wrong stories and thai
Elsie was trying to save Rose from
being sent back to the Home, and had
taken the blame for the broken bush
Rose begged to take Elsie her sup
per, but Mrs. Fisher said mo, Elsie
has been disobedient and must be pun
ished."
When bedtime came Rose cried ant
begged to be allowed to kiss Elsi'
goodnight, but Mrs. Fisher was firm
and would not let her see Elsie. Elsi
would not say anything excepting,

farming by which fax straw, hithero
discarded as waste. will be turned into

pointed out that tow and oakum will
be produced in quantities from the fax

Crookston Commercial Club is inter-

ber of individuals, though the. list OF
separte names would not be SO large
as in some other groups. In this list
are such names as Reeves, Chamber
lain, Falkner (Falconer), officers of
the king. But the largest number are
from names of occupations quite IA
miliar to us. Here are our Smiths,
Clarks (Clerk, still pronounced Clark
in England) Cooks, Websters, (early
English for Weaver) J, Painters, and
so on through the list.
Many names are obviously due to
certain personal peculiarities or dis
tinct traits of character. We have
Longs and Smalls and Shorts and
Stouts and Whiteheads and Blacklocks
that have their manifest origin in physi-
cal features. The Gays, the Smarts,
the Moodys, the Wilds, and the Saw
ages bear testimony to distinguish
mental or temperamental traits of far
away ancestors. These names when
first applied had the character OF nick
names; and these would themselves
make large list, including many
that we could not ascribe to personal
traits or features. Many of these are
ludicrous in suggestion. They were
doubtless more so in their first appli
cation. If Turnipseed is not corrup
ton of some foreign name, it mus
have originated In joke
1t is quite clear that identity O
names is by no means an indication
Of common descent, since by the pre-
cesses above given the same name
would originate Independently in dill
ferent localities. In short the larg
number of Smiths is not to be attrif
uted to the prolific tendencies of pas
generations who bore that name, Du
to the fact that every locality had it

HOW WE GET OUR NAMES.

versity of Mississippi)
The names we bear today come to
us without our seeking, and the process
by which we get them seems most
natural Except in sgch instances as
the multiplied John Smiths of every
community, they sufficiently identify
us. However, there was a time when
individuals were not so clearly distin.
guished by names. In England, and
in modern Europe generally, surnames
take origin and become fixed between
the eleventh and thirteen centuries. 1t
is not possible in the limits of this
paper to enumerate the various
sources of them; nor is it actually pos.
sible to determine the source Of a
name In every instance. Merely as
serting that every name has an ex.
PLANTATION, whether we find 1t or not,
we undertake to indicate the most fire
quent sources of our surnames.
From Christian names large mum
ber OF surnames are derived, either
directly or by the addition of affixes
Thus we have Williamson, Johnson
manifestly sons of william, John, etc
The prefix Fitz from the Norman fils)
as in Fitzhugh, indicates the same re
lationships. In this same group be
long names ending in ct, OF, and kin
suffixes meaning little.

to people and thus became surnames

OATMEAL COOKIES.

Oatmeal which comes in packages
can be used for making very nice
cookies that may be. on the whole,
quite as nutritious as the meal eaten
with milk, after being boiled, for often
it is not boiled as long as 1T ought
to be.
Take 2 cups of the rolled oats and
mix with a cup of sugar and scant
cup of butter. Beat the whites and
yolks of eggs separately and add;
dissolve a teaspoonful of soda in
threefourths of a cup of sour milk,
add cups Of sifted flour. Raisins,
nuts and spices may be added. Bake
in well-greased pans.

There is a certain type of woman
who must always investigate the why's
and wherefores of everything. She is
not content with things as they seem,
but always digs beneath the surface to
get at he root of the matter.
Such a woman is rarely happy. Her
mind is too active for happiness. 1t
is built too much after the Paul Fry
pattern. Her great failing lies in be-
ing too suspicious. And the suspicious
woman never is happy. She Keeps
looking for sights, and fancying
sights everywhere, for she is oversen-
sitive.
where ignorance is bliss 'twere fol-
ly to be- wise" There is lots of truth
in the old saying. Too many modern
Ewes are today losing their Edens
through the besetting sin of curiosity
have in mind one woman of my ac
quaintaDce who is of a particularly sus
picious disposition. She never Will ac
cept any ones word, but runs around
all the time, acting as a sort of domes
tic Sherlock Holmes. This behavior Is
scarcely conducive to conjugal felicity
to say the least of it, and naturally hei
husband resents her attitude very
much.
It has had a peculiar moral eifec
upon him, too, for the constant detec
tive work of his foolish wife has really
driven him into small receptions an'
subterfuges. Truly she has much II
answer for.
"It's perfectly hopeless to tell Mar.

but the TRUTH" declared this HUSBAND

Certainly the wardrobe for the South
must include a lace frock. There Is
such a variety offered just now that 1t
Is hard to choose.
This morning mamma and / went
out, intent on buying one. We had
delightful time and saw some exquis-
fte models.
The one we chose is quite simple in
style, but exceedingly pretty. Need
less to say, it is very full as to skirt,
uneven as to hem and high as to
waist.
The skirt is cut in tunic style, and
the hem of both skirt and tunic is fin
ished with a deep flounce of lace. A
heavy line of embroidery comes above
each fiounce. The design is floral and
worked in heavy silks
The little bodice is very simple and
girlish, and has quite an old-fashioned
look. 1t is curious how old-fashioned
the very newest styles do look! This
sounds Irish, but it is true, neverthe-
less.
The sleeves of the frock just reach
the elbow, and finish with narrow
band of lace. An underskirt of ivory
colored taffeta is worn.
With this frock intend to wear
simple little hat of lace over a frame
of taffeta. A tiny bunch of wild roses

side, and another bunch rests lightly
on the upper brim at the right. 1t is
very pretty.

causes others is only exceeded by the
misery she brings upon herself.
When a woman marries, she ought
to have sufficient confidence in the
man of her choice to refrain from any
questionings. If she hasn't that conf
dence, then she is a fool to have mar
ried him at all, and ought to bear the
results of her own folly quietly and
without raising trouble.
Many women declare that their hus-
bands interfere with them too much,
and that they are not free agents. But
there is a reverse side to the pictures:
For the suspicious wife is only too
prevalent nowadays. She is no respec-
tor of her husbands liberty, and seeks
to curtail it in every possible way.
A thousand homes are daily wrecked
through this besetting sin of sus'
picion and jealousy. A thousand en-
gagements are daily broken through a
lack of trustfulness on the part Of the
girl For no man that is a man in any
real sense of the word will stand fem
inine interference for long. 1t will
not only make him tired of his fiancee
or wife, but it will make him positive
| ly dislike and despise her.
| The jealous woman is capable OF
descending to the very depths in order
to confirm her jealous suspicious. The
putting of dictaphones in rooms fol-
the purpose of overhearing converse
tions is as nothing compared to the
lengths the suspicious woman will go
And all her Investigations only bring
her more misery. That is the curiou;
part Of her malady. For she alway.
