HOW NAMES BECOME CHANGED
Sometimes Intentionally, but More
Often Due to the "Wear and
Tear of Time"

"Who Was Who?"'-is the suggested
title for a new book to contain the
names of all persons who have
changed their names. A new publica-
ton will do that in England. If the
work is carried back far enough it will
be found that scarcely name has
survived the wear and tear of time.
Some Of the changes are intentional,
like our daily applications in court, but
most Of them are due to bad spoilers
or poor pronunciation and phonetic
spelling to express the errors Of pro-
nunciation. Our Dutch ancestors had
habit of cutting off everything that
went down to and including the Van"
The name "Burch" was originally
Birch" and meant man who lived by
the birch tree. It is curious COM
ment on this new book that the Lon
don newspaper editor who is putting 1t
out has juggled his own name after
the English custom, when taking a
title. Good names are a misfortune
when they are used like family por-
traits to make snobs.-Exchange.

Tighter and Longer Skirts,
Cause Order for Lower Steps
On the Spokane Street Cars

Score another for the women. This
time they have made two big trans
portation companies see the error of
their way. They have compelled
tardy recognition of the fact thai the
length of a skirt offers the only proper
rule for regulating the height of street
car steps.
The ONE of Spokane did it. They
were confronted by fashions latest
edict of longer, tighter skirts, and
street car steps twenty inches from
the. ground. Something had to give
way. Obviously fashions decree
could not be changed, hence the at
tack on the high steps.
But the street car companies could
not see it. The same steps had been
in use for years and 1t would cost
money to make the change. Protests
by the women were aired in the news
papers and gravely considered by the
nickel gatherers, but no action re-
suited. Then the Women's Good Gov
erRment league got busy with an APP
peal direct to the public service com
mission of the state. The commission
listened to the argument, considered
it reasonable and promptly ordered
lower street a steps. The trans
p~ortation companies bowed their heads
and the car steps are now dropped
to a height Of fifteen inches from the
ground.

THE THINGS THAT COUNT

Now, dear, it isn't the bold things,
Great deeds of valor and might,
That count the most in the summing up
of life at the end of the day.
But it is the doing of old things,
acts that are just and right;
And doing them over and over again, no
matter what others say
In smiling at fate when you want to cry,
and in keeping at work when you
want to play
Dear, those are the things that count.
And, dear, it isn't the new ways,
Where the wonder-seekers crowd,
That lead us into the land of content, or
help us to find our own.
But it is keeping to true ways,
Though the music is not so loud,
And there may be many a Swallowed spot
where we journey along alone;
In floating a prayer at the face of fear,
and in changing into a song a groan-
Dear, these are the things that count.
My dear, it isn't the loud part
OF creeds that is pleasing to God,
Not the chant of a prayer, or the hum OF
a hymn, or a jubilant shout or song
But 1t is the beautiful proud part
OF walking with feet faith-shod;
in loving, loving, loving through all,
no matter how things go wrong;
In trusting ever, though dark the day, and
in keeping your hope when the way
seems long
Dear, these are the things that count.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.

Bathing Is a Luxury, Not a
Necessity, According to
Arctic Explorers Theory

It is not essential to one health that
n battle frequently, according to the
hypothesis expounded by Vilhjalmur
Stefansson, the arctic explorer, in a
philosophical discussion Of scurvy In
the Medical Review of Reviews. Mr..
Stefansson asserts bathing is purely
an esthetic principle and that the
value of cleanliness to health has not
been established by the medical prac-
titioners.
Mr.. Stefansson's pronouncement
will be greeted with %jubilation by the
elements which possess an ingrown
dislike for hydrogen and oxygen In
proportions of two to one. 1t has been
accepted as dogmatic by the Mexican
pelados for years, who as a religious
function, battle only on st. Johns
day, which is celebrated early in May.
Much of what the ordinary practi-
toner tells you about bathing for
health is either not yet demonstrated
as true or else is demonstrabiy un-
true" declares Mr.. StefansS0n. 1.-THE
fact is that, according to the point of
view, cleanliness is a matter of esthet-
les or else of taboo observance rather
than of health"
The explorer makes an apology in
the article for his attack on medical
orthodoxy by declaring he has been
divorced from medical books and jour-
nails for more than ten years. Mr..
Stefansson wrote the treatise while
in the arctic region in 1916. He was
reported as dangerously ill frop ty-
phoid fever on Herschel island.

in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is a starter OF
untold misery for it's owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,

ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and TO keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is a commOnsense
