Why ''Red'' in English is Not a Surname.

Black, White and Brown are common
surnames in English, but there is no Eng
lish family called Red. The former names
were given originally because of the COM
plexion of the persons who received
them. It seems strange that in a people
among whom red heads were common
none should have acquired the name
''Red," especially as this is frequently
bestowed as a nickname. The Century
Dictionary explains this as follows:
''Red, like lead Qed), with which it is
phonetically parallel, had in Middle Eng
lish a long vowel, which has become
shortened. The long vowel remains, how
ever, in the surnames Read, Reade, Reed,
Reid, which represent old forms of the
adjective, and the existence of which as
surnames explains the almost total abb
sence of the expected surname Red, par
allel to Black, Brown, White, ETC."

OFFICE WORK PERlL0uS,

An investigation Just reported by
the United States department Of Ia
Tor indicates that the most perilous
tf all occupations is office work The
railroad engineer or trainman, the
coal miner who descends into black
cayerns where death and disaster are
supposed to lurE in many forms. iron
molders and men engaged in many
kinds Of strenuous and apparently
dangerous labors, have longer aver
age lives than the boOkkeeper or Of
flee worker
The reason seems to he that tuher-
cul0sis has better chance with OF.
fee people than with most other
types Of workers. The daneer from
external accident is less than that
from tuberculosis. Clerks, b8okkeep-
ers, people confined in an Office al
day, are the victims of bad air, lack
of exercise, stagnation Before and
after office hours, too. they ride In
crowded, stuffy street cars. and they
are too apt to 90 home to more closed
windows and an overdose OF artificial
heat
One can't exactly advise the office
worker to 60 forth ard play golf He
has to be pretty high up in the ranks
before he can afford many varieties
Of outdoor sports, or the daylight time
in which to indulge in them. But he
can learn right away 10 sleep with
his windows OPEN TO keep at least
one window in the office open. to walk
part way TO work il he can't make
the whole distance on foot, to spend
his Sundays as much in the open as
possible
Such advice may sound hard to the
weary Office worker But some of the
WEAKNESS will vanish as soon as the
advice Is taken Exercise and fresh
. ar-especially the fresh air--will do
much to raise the average length Of
the lives of the oifice.bound.
