alJncIe Sam.r

The application Of the term "Uncle
Sam" to the United States had its be
ginning In Troy. N. Y, during the war
Of 1912. A commission contractor of
Troy named Ebert Anderson had a
shop In which the stocks were always
examined and passed by a government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as ''Uncle Sam"
When the boxes were passed they were
always marked with the initials Of the
contractor and the nation, "EA-US."
One day the man who was doing the
marketing was asked what the initials
stood for and replied jokingly that they
wererthe initials Of the contractor and
Of Uncle Sam" The joke spread
among the men. got into print and long
before the end of the war had become
known all over the country. Mr.. VIII
son, the original uncle SAM" died In
Troy In 1S54-New York Times.

CUTTING Off Noses.

Rameses II. of Egypt cut of the nose
Of any person convicted of treason or
arson. Actisanes, another Egyptian
ruler, punished robbers in the same
way. After each nose had been ampu-
tated back even with the bridge the
culprit was sent to colony of noseless
felona, Lhe place Of Punishment being
known as Rhinoconum, from the ma
ture Of the punishment its colonists
had undergone.
In England in 1871 Lord Coventry,
then great keeper Of the British seal"
had his nose cut off by order Of the
king because he had dared to ask some
questions about an actress then play
ing at Drury Lane theater.
A conscript who protested openly
that he had been enrolled in the army
Of Frederick the Great in fraudulent
manner had his nose amputated by Or
der Of that sovereign, who spoke Of the
punishment as an 'indelible mark on
the front side of the face"

Ever since I was a girl at Barnard
college," says Mrs. Reid, 81 have had
the feeling that life outside the home
was incomplete without woman's di-
rect contribution to the making Of pub
lie affairs. This is an age Of specializa-
ton, and if women specialize in any
thing it is in a sense Of the value of
human life.
''This idea of conserving life as the
best investment any state can make is
needed in political affairs. 1 believe in
all the other arguments for enfranchis-
ing women, but this seems to me the
most urgent Woman's own special
ties, those things which make up her
peculiar province, such as guardianship
Of home and children and her better
knowledge Of housekeeping, are need
ed to make up a good world for men
and women Just as much as mans
knowledge Of business and finance is
needed. Men have surely realized that
women have had success in their own
province. Why should they deny the
world the value Of this special skill?
This great mass Of influence and ex-
pert knowledge could be used for man.
kind. 1t should so be used"
Born in Appleton, Wis, Mrs. Reid is
a true western woman. She has the
point of view which sees the United
States as stretching from coast to coast
and not as q thin line along the At
lantic seaboard. As one who has her
self been a wage earning woman she
believes in woman's economic indie
pendence. 81 certainly hope my daugh-
ter will have this same wholesome ex-
perience, for 1 believe every girl should
be given the chance to earn her own
living" she says.
She voices the newer call for wo-
mans political freedom not alone be-
cause women are denied a privilege
when the ballot is withheld from them,
but because the world needs the en-
franchisement of its women AID be-
cause politics as we'll as domestic life
needs her point Of view.

Ihaekeray,s Satire.

who were incapable Of understanding

garT Thackeray, no doubt irritated at

the irony, the dolt Immediately at

Thackeray's part and to the end Of

The River Jordan.

Among famous rivers must always
be included the Jordan. nearly as
sacred to Christians as the Gauges is
to the Hindus because of the baptism
Of Christ in its waters The Jordan
except near its source. is below the
level Of the ocean. and the Dead sea,
where it empties, is quarter Of & mile
below the surface of the Mediterra-
mean.
There are four old fords of the Jor.
dan. At one of these on the Monday
before Easter the pilgrims of the Greek
church, often thousands in number,
who have come down from Jerusalem
escorted by Turkish soldiers, perform
the well known ceremony Of bathing in
the sacred stream. A short distance be-
low this is the point where the river
loses itself in the lifeless waters Of the
Dead sea.

Spring Cues.

Blouses formed Of net, either used
singly or double, are most charmingly
dainty. They are severely tailored or
made with ruffies and frills.
Chiffon hens on faille frocks are fin

faille.
An oblong picot edged piece Of chif-
fon was attached to the underside Of
the seams of a dark blue faille and
chiffon frock.
Sleeves are full below the elbow and
in many cases flowing, with under
sleeves that are often of extreme
daintineSs.
How are the women of spring to dis
guise themselves-for during the win

recognize his wife at little distance.

Corsets continue to hug the waist, are

waist is to be smaller do not order a
smaller corset TO obtain this effect, for

be obtained by getting a corset of your
