Island of santo Domino.

1t is incorrect to apply to the entire
island the name of Haiti, as that was
merely the aboriginal name for the
western section (the present repub-
liC). The island should properly be
called either Santo Domingo, by which
it has been known for the greater
part of the four centuries of the two
names, Haiti-SantO Domingo. Another
mistake that is made frequently is to
refer TO this republic as Santo D0min-
go. While the island may be properly
called Santo Domingo, the correct
name of the country is the Dominican
Republic. SantO Domingo is not the
name of a country, but Of the capital
and largest city of the Dominican re-
public. This island Is also frequently
confused with the island of Dominica
The latter is a small British island in
the lesser Antilles, about $50 miles
southeast of Puerto Rico, between the
French islands of Guadelope and Mar
Unique. AS this island was discovered
by Columbus on Sunday he called it
Dominica.

The Lure of
Moca
~
By Osborn Jones

Among the students-and the fac
uty, too, for that matter-PrOfessor
Gray had the reputation of being the
best-looking professor at Morton and
the most confirmed old bachelor. On
the score of his Old-bachelorhoOd-
though he was not past redemption at
fOrty-they excused various little quips
and quirks In his disposition. Not only
was Professor Gray the head of the
Greek department of the college but,
as son of one of the leading benefac-
tors of the college, he was one OF the
trustees as well. It was as a trustee
that his objection on general prin-
cipals to domestic science and house
hold arts, as part of n college curicu-
lum had thus far successfully blocked
the building of the new domestic
science extension. The money had been
raised for the building, but because
the site was part of the original Gray
bequest, Professor Gray's objection
made progress on the building impos-
sible.
No wonder then, that Jean Prescott,
the attractive young head Of such
household arts department as there
was at Morton, was filed with senti-
ment toward Professor Gray that was
as near to that of hatred as any that
had ever entered into her spacious
heart. Like most household arts ill.,
structors, Jean Prescott carried into
her classes and laboratory an air Of
rare geniallty. Professor Gray seldom
carried much geniality into his Greek
classes and perhaps that was the fault
of his clearinghouse keeper, for Gray
had got to the point where having
coffee and cold fried eggs for
breakfast was getting on his nerves.
If he took real satisfaction in any
thing however. it was that so far the

NEW EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN
British Government is Urging Female
Help With Results That Are Sat
isfactory From All Angles.

II is now incumbent upon us to see
how far we can substitute the labor OF
women for that of men. Before the
war il would doubtless have been
urged that the private interest Of en-
plOyers had already introduced wOm-
ans labor wherever this would pay.
We have now learned. declares the
New Republic, that mere inertia Is an
important determnant of industrial
arrangements. The British GOVERN.
ment is employing women where it
formerly employed only men, and
with results that are satisfactory from
n financial point of view, as well as
from the more essential point Of view
of economy Of national resources. At
the WOolwich arSental, for example,
only l25 out of the 10,SGG persons EN-
plOyed in August, 1914, were women.
According to the latest available re-
ports, 2J,000 out of 73,500 now em-
ploycd are women. Women make up
over 60 per cent of the personnel Of
the department of design and inspec-
ton.
In private industry women have
found their way into numberless EN-
formerly mOnOpolized by
men. In this movement toward the
of women the private in
terest of the employer has been re-en-
forced by patriotic considerations.
Doubtless in many instances women
are employed where it would be more
profitable TO employ men, even at
scarcity wages. But in times of war
such Il consideration is of no determin-
ing importance.

Off southern California, tourists
sometimes find themselves surround
ed by swarms of flying fish, which
spring out of the sea and soar like
birds, says the American Boy. Their
species is EXocoetus Californiesis,
The fish attains length of 18 inches,
and q weight Of more than a pound.
The natural hydroplanes live In
schools. The aviation is made possl-
BILE by the propelIer-like motion of the
powerful tail and by fms which spread
out rigid like monoplane wings. The
flights are very swift and sometimes
a quarter Of mile long.

arator and the skinned milk fed to
well-bred young stock as quickly as
possible after being separated. One
of the easiest and best ways of start
ing a farm dairy business is to handle
the milk in this way. The cream should
be sent either to the city or to the
creamery. Skinned milk when fed to
pure-bred calves and pigs has spe-
cial value that brings better returns
than selling the milk. There is very
little fertility carried away from the
farm in cream cans. Farmers who do
careful dairy business have valuable
stock and get high prices for the ami
mails fed in this way. The value Of
the dairy house can only be measured
by taking into account all Of the vari-
Gus features Of the business such as
this method of feeding suggests.

Floor Plan.

milk handled Is not great enough to
warrant the use Of a separate building,
the milk house must be combined with
either the farmhouse or the ice house.
Under certain conditions, the farmer
might desire an extension to his house
which would include both the ice
house and the milk house. A farm
house designed in this way is among
others in a group Of designs recently
prepared by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. If such a scheme
is not used, the combined building
should, at least, be placed as near the
farmhouse as possible.
There are certain conditions which
must be taken into account in building
the ice house. The first is that its To-
cation must be such that good drain
age is possible. There is always loss
by melting and the water must be car
ried well away from the building and
disposed of either in the soil, through
drainage system already in place or
by connection with a stream. The de-
sign will account for the other cOndi-
tions which are related to the proper
construction of the walls and roof Of
the building to secure sufficient in
sulation to prevent undue loss. Struc-
tural tile has been found an excellent
material for the construction Of farm
ice houses. It's ordinary use provides
q series Of dead air spaces which are
very effective as an insulation against
temperature variation. 1t is, of course,
necessary to use care in the construc-
ton of the walls so that no leaks are
present to admit warm air to the in
terror Of the house. The inside Of the
house must be lined with some water
proofed insulation so that moisture
does not have an opportunity to work
into the mortar joints and body Of the
tile.

Pearl and Stanley, six and four, re-

in their garden. A week later out
Of curiosity they went to dig 1t up, In

Excited, they ran together to mother
and cried, "Ma, that chicken must
