Spanish Woman Does Not Lose
Her Maiden Name at Marriage.

The brides maiden name is valued
in Spain and is not set aside by mar
rage. When a Spanish woman mar
ries she merely adds her husbands
name to her own. But never does she
lose her identity by dropping her
name entirely and taking over that Of
her husband. And to her intimates
she Is known more by her maiden
name than her husbands.
More than that, an unmarried per-
son Is known by both the mothers
and fathers name, Joined by the let
ter ~" That makes the formal
name. Informally, son, for instance.
is known only by his fathers name.
Thus a person may be Smith y
Brown, or its equivalent, the father
being of one surname, and the mother
in her maiden days Of the other. When
that person marries, to avoid compli-
cations the mothers name Is dropped,
and the husbands name tackled on
with the MD Of the prefix de-" In

Dinner ran off uneyentfully, If emil
vened by the quenchless animation of
the Dowager Dragon, but Miss Car
teret, manifesting little appetite, sat
out the meal with downcast eyes, mute
save when courtesy dictated speech.
Later she found herself seated by her
Dragons side on the lee of the prone
made deck, in darkness save for the
beams from lighted ports. For little
the girl relished all this with gladness.
But presently her spirits sagged again
and she grew drowsy, and fingered
from her bed only to please the
warm-hearted old woman who had
adopted her pro tempore-'on suspi-
cion," as Mrs. Beggarstaff put 1t, not
without q little harmless malice.

Commissioner Of Health, Pennsylvania.

water !-of heaven first born, ever in
all ages sacred emblem from that re-
mote period when the earth was with
out form and void and darkness was
upon the face of the deep and the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of
the waters. Alas in these latter days
more abused than Is any other ele-
ment."
From the settlement of America by
the Spanish. the babbltng brooks, up
to and including the broad water high
ways of nations, have been used for
the disposal of sewage, and this with
out restraint, until few years ago
when the work began under the law
of 1905 to change this condition, which
has resulted in reducing typhoid fever
"a per cent, as well as lessening the
suffering and sorrow OF thousands Of
human beings.
The time consumed In cleansing the
streams Is not for the want Of suffi-
cient legislation; that is ample. The
progress has been imped ed by the fact
that homes and Industries have grown
since our first civilization very much
as Topsy did, without any thought Of
the morrow. Having this enormity of
insanitary conditions to meet, with SO
many lives depending upon the prod
ucts of the offending producers, much
financing and time must be used to
eliminate the death-dealing condition.
The sewage from individual sources
has largely been removed from our
streams and our Industries have re-
moved their wastes gradually and con-
tinually. This, however, has been a
work that of necessity moves slowly,
for upon the great Industrial plants our
people depend for some Of the necessi-
ties Of living and hundreds Of thou
sands of our people made their bread
and butter for their families by work
ing In the great manufacturing plants
Of the country. It W ould not have

these industrial wastes out, as we had
high appreciation Of the distress to
our people by the closing down Of our
factories, and therefore waited in
many ways for Mother Invention to
discover ways and mean ms Of disposing
Of industrial wastes without interior
ing with the great hub Of industries.
Our people during the last decade
have been educated to an understand
ing that pure water is as essential for
good health as proper food. This, how
ever, was recognized In the time Of
Nero; that great and arbitrary en-
peror was fined for polluting the Nile.
To restore our streams to their vir-
gin conditions will of course be some
what expensive, yet money cannot be
better spent, as the health Of both man

CHAPTER l-contInusd.

"All my life," the girl admitted. II
was born In London, and when was
very young my parents returned to
America, leaving me behind because
they expected to be gone only a little
time. Then my mother died in New
York; and my father went into busi-
ness there, and thought me better of
where I was. in the care Of friends,
than with him."
''But surely" this in shocked expos
tulation, 'he came back to see you !"
"Oh, indeed he did. often; that is,
considering the difficulties, the long
voyages, and the fact that he-isn't
a rich man. But haven't seen him
recently-not in several years."
"And now you're going to Join him?''

voice that betrayed more doubt than
she suspected.
But before her astute inquisitor
could take advantage Of the weakness
her tone suggested there befell an in
terruption. It was nothing more ex-
traordlnary than knock on the state
room door; but it brought Miss Car
teret 20 her feet with a start, again
pale and trembling.
"Ohi" she cried In alarm. s"Oh, what
Ii that?" Involuntarily she stepped
back as If to put as much space as
possible between herself and the door.
Mrs. Beggarstaff watched her in
open wonder.

"Oh, II that's ALL" Miss Carteret
sat down again.
"One moment, stewardess." Mrs.
Beggarstaff looked back at the girl.
"You don't object to my letting her in"
"Oh, no, moi" Miss Carteret insisted
hastily. "Please don't mind me. I'm

But when they were alone again,
much to the relief of the girl, Mrs.
Beggarstaff failed by any word to
refer to her recent betrayal Of alarm
something hardly to be explained
other than by open confession-which
wouldn't in the least suit Miss Car
teret's book.

"Very good, then. And for dinner,

signal; Immediately the girl became
conscious that the ship was in mo-

drone Of its turbines.

WAR ONLY COSTSUS
S6,750,OO0,OOO
CONGRESS CHIEFS FORM PRO
GRAM AFTER PRESIDENT
WILSON'S POLICY.
RAISE HALF THE FIRST YEAR
Want to Help Out the Allies and
Have Safety Margin Besides
Two Billion VIII Be Applied
On Army-Navy Cost.

Washington.-Pres Wilson's pol
icy, outlined in his address to congress,
of paying Americas war bill, so far
as possible, while the war is being
waged, leaving a minimum debt to pos
terity, is reflected in a virtual decision
by leaders in the house and senate TO
raise so per cent of the first years ex-
penditures by taxation.
Additional Tax $780, 900, 900.
Under this program congress will be
called upon to raise war revenues OF
ST ,750,000,000 through new and in
creased taxation during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1918. This is exclu-
sive of the S5,0OO,0OO,OOO bond issue
authorization for which will be sought
this week. The total demand upon the
financial resources of the country dur
ing the first year of war under this
program would be S6,750,000,
OF the bond issue $1,000, 100000, il
is definitely stated would be loaned tc
the entente allies. The entire issue
will bear interest of IL per cent
1t is proposed to make the loan to the
allies at this interest rate, which i:
lower by far than the rate on their pre-
vious issues.
Billions for Army and Navy.
The remaining S2,OOO,O 100000 will b,
applied, as necessary, on the cost O.
military and naval establishments anS
other war expenses of the United States
Indications are that with the new wa
revenue measures in effect, the full
amount, S2,000,000,000 will not be en-
tirely exhausted at the end of the frs
year.
In requesting authorization for
S5,000,000,000 bond issue administra
ton leaders have in mind the necessit
of allowing for a slight margin O
safety so that the work of the war an,
navy departments would not be handi
capped by a lack of funds due to tn
possible failure of proposed tax meas
ures to raise tn centre sum of so pc
cent desired.
Allies Needs Are More.
The proposal that congress author
ize Immediately the issue of $1,000,
100000 in bonds to finance a loan t
the allies and afterward take up tn
request for 20O00OO,OOO for the arm
and navy is considered in some quar-
tiers.
In support of this proposal it is point
ed out that the need of the allies 70
funds is more Immediately pressin
than American needs, the money to b
obtained for the latter purpose being ex
pended over period of four months.
Indications are strong, however, the
congress will be asked TO authorize tn
S5,000,000,000 in one lump sum. Leg
islation to this effect probably will b
reported to congress for action befor
the end of the week.

TRENCH SIGNS TELL

to "Fritz" Over No
Mans Land.

With the British Armies in France
The news of the action of the United

Germany reached the far flung western

with cheers.
Nowhere was the qualification great
er than along the section of the front
held by the Canadians, with whom
many thousands of Americans are serv-
ing.
Many Canadian and British compa-
MES got busy preparing signs to hold
up over the trenches telling the Ger

is the favorite plan of the Tommies to
convey all sorts of bad news to their
enemies across no-man's-land.
