Quite a Difference.

Reference at a recent dinner was
made TO the perplexities of the Eng
lish language, when this story was fit
tingly related by Zane Gray, the ap-
thor of many charming stories of the
great Southwest.
Some time since a young girl who
had gone through n fashionable col
lege was having a highly intellectual
talk with a young man acquaintance
when the words vision" and sight
were used by the fair one.

argument, Miss Smith," said the young
nan In answer to the girls last re-
mark, but please don't make the mis-
take of saying vision when sight is
what you mean"
II don't quite understand you, Mr.
Green" loftily returned the young
woman. 'There is absolutely no diff
ference between vision and sight
ION, yes, there is" cheerfully de
clared Mr.. Green. walking along the
street you occasionally met a girl who

Women Of Ancient Babylon.

To some extent women's rights were
recognized in Babylon. Indeed, in
some respects. they We're acknowledged
as mems equals. They entered into
business partnerships, they could lend
and borrow, they could %bequeath their
property without let or hindrance. In
the great temples of Babylon, the
priests and priestesses stood on the
same level. The marriage laws OF the
B~abylonians gave the advantage to the
men. Not only fathers, but also broth
ers. sold their ma into marriage.
Often, though not always. brides were
required to bring their husbands dow
ries. But the property she possessed
remained her own. And this was five
and twenty centuries ago.

Our grocery mans delivery boy Is
always accompanied on Saturday by
his younger brother who in looks is
exactly like his older brother. The
younger one always brought on our

for a few seconds at him with a puz-
zled face and then exclaimed: Say,

Nearly all Alaskan waters TEEN with
herring, whose value as a food fish is
just beginning to be recognized in
those parts. Important In Alaskan

Means Open Courtyard.

The word manager" occurs only In
connection with the birth of Christ and
is in the second chapter of Luke. The
word in classical Greek means a crib
or feeding trough. Modern authorities
hold that its significance in the New
Testament is the open courtyard of an
inn OF khan.

See II Your Diamond Is Genuine.

Here is a test that can be made
when a diamond is quite clean and dry.
Place on the surface of a diamond a
tiny drop of water. Now take a needle
or pin and try to move the drop about.
If the diamond is genuine, experts say,
the drop can be rolled intact. On the
other hand when the gem is an imita-
ton the water spreads directly |. is

The English are always happy in
their choice of sobriquets. They for
merly called the chambermaid Abigail /;

Thomas is a favorite one in Ireland,

Pure Air.

Pure air is blue, because, as New
ton tells us, the molecules Of the air
have the thickness necessary to reflect
blue rays. When the sky is not per-
fectly blue the atmosphere is blended
with p%erceptible vapors, and the diff
fused light is mixed with a large pro-
portion of white.

play is derived from incidents in the
life of Jeanne Lefarge. the victim OF
g bogus marriage. She is .incensed
to the point of revenging herself for
the wrong done her by conspiring to

work. Events bring a young lega-

desperately in love with her. She
finds she is in love with him herself.
Her love for the man is the inspira-
tion which prompts her to shield him
from harm. And she succeeds, but at

Guish and suffering. Ultimately she is
reclaimed. This will be one of the
most interesting productions yet set
forth by Metro and will be shown at

1t will be impossible to tackle the
housing problem in positive manner
until after the war. Meantime the
proposed ministry can check any fur
ther deterioration in neighborhoods
where physical conditions are motor
iously adverse to child life. The min
istry also will be able to give imme-
date relief in the food situation By
controlling sufficient quantity Of
milk to feed poor mothers and chill
dren. As the state already controls
he coal output, it will be simple
matter to insure the heating Of poor
peoples homes.
The child will not pass beyond the
health ministry's benefits on reach
ing the "safe" age of one year. The
government will consider it wise

school children so that they may take
full advantage of the nations educa-
tional facilities. Right now 20 per
cent of the school children are said
to be too poorly nourished to reap the
full benefit of their schooling.
