NAVY Blue.

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms Of almost all marines is Of
hOary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the
Romans, traces the origin of this color
to the Venet, an ancient people
dwelling near the coast of Biscay, and
well Versed in seamanship. 1t was
customary among them to paint their
outgoing ships as well as the masts
and sails with blue color; also their
sailors wore blue uniforms. Accord
ing to our author, the Latin word
''Venetus," which was both the name
of the color and that of the people,
points to its origin. From the Veneu
the custom was adopted by the Ro-
mans. Thus the son Of PompeIus, aft
er defeating Caesars fleet In a naval
battle, wore the navy blue, although
entitled to the purple. The Vened
were subdued by Caesar after a severe
maritime war in 56 B. @.

sunlight, it was evident that the pig
ment had great permanency, so the
next time he went to Pittsburgh he
hunted up the source of the paint.
Having finally trai1ed it to the manu-
facturer, he bought all the red paint
that the man had On hand and had an
artists color firm put it up in tubes,
and with characteristic generosity
scattered it among his artist friends.
With this red many OF his red notes
were touched in-thOse characteristic
accents which caused Kenyon Cox to
say that in his use of a red note Chase
had signed his canvas.
When Chase was in England d.. =.
Abbey sent him an earnest request
to- come and see his Harrisburg deco
rations. At first Chase thought 1t i'm
possible but at the last minute he took
a flying trip TO Abbey's country house
by motor. When he saw the decora-
tons his admonition sounded proven
bal, but it was, as Abbey realized af-
terward, quite right. "What your cam
vas needs is a spot of red" Abbey

EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From NEUROLOGICAL Times the Monarch
Of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle OF India, the Garuda, is the
bearer Of the god Vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle is a
gloomy figure, assumed by demons Of
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed in the gloomy night or in wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits in the form of an eagle at
the extremity of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasi1 sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbOlt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem Of nations after
its long use in mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made it the emblem of the Egyp-
tan kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to Tarquinus
of his royal power, and it was one Of
the most important insignia of the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time Of Charlie
magne.

GIVES DEFINITION OF POWER
Being = Description Of That Which
Knows No VariabIeness, Nor
Shadow OF Turning.

Power was the beginning. 1t dates
back to the sun. Always it has been
twofOld. Alternately 1t is repose and
effort, alternately growth and birth,
and always progress, Emerson Hough
writes in Pictorial Review.
Readiness and action in one, 1t Is
both. 1t is neither, it is either.
The man-made motor OF power purrs
gently on the level, but, opposed by
the activity, it summons itself, rouses
and roars alike its protest and its
pean.
The God-made river is power, end
less and renewed, dating back to IN
ceasing SHOWS on eternal and unchang-
ing hills
At times, it is silent, and at times
tempestuous when opposed. Always it
is progress.
No power ever was or ever can be
LOST. 1t goes from the primal unit, in
to the Monad, and it endures, twofold
There is no divorce in the union Of
power. The woman mated to the man
| really strong never leaves him, never
ceases to entwine her arms about his
neck.
It is the strong who give courage
and who offer faith, the weak who are
loose Tipped and unenduring.
In the monogamy of purpose there Is
no wavering. The lion and the eagle
are strong; the rabbit and the guinea
pig are weak.
Power is the law. We love it in its
calm, fear it in its wrath. Our arms
never coaSo RI embrace If our Sou1S
never cease to implore it.
Rightfully we reverence it, rightfuIIy
do more than admire it. It is law it

When Milk sours

Milk will sour in any kind of warm
and moist temperature, and because
just before and during q thunderstorm
the air is generally quite warm and
moist. it is only natural that it should
turn sour. 1t is wrong, however, to
say or think that thunder makes milk
sour. Thunder is only a noise, and
noise cannot do anything but make
itself heard. The fact that it is gen
orally warm and moist, however, when
il thunders. coupled with the fact that
these conditions Of the air sour milk
very rapidly, has led people to con-
meet the two In their minds and caused
them TO fall into the error of believing
that the thunder is responsible for the
change in the milk

Of the cement white, black and red.
