In French and in English.

An amusing verbal war has arisen
over the prOpriety, meaning and ex-
tent of the French phrase mon Dieu 80
No two interpreters appear to be able
TO agree. The phrase in English would
be my Godr' but the shades of assO-
citation connected with the French
form and with the English form differ
so broadly that exactly equivalent ex-
pressiOns and usages of the phrase are
difficult to reach. In French it may
he an innocent exclamation, but in
English-speaking lands it may be fiat
blasphemy. The variance seems to
spring from the varying religious ex-
periences of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In
medieval Europe the presence and ac-
ton of God in the. religious plays hab-
ituated the populace to speak of him
quite Familiarity, and the sense of rev.
erence for his name grew faint. In
England. however, on account of the
influence of Puritanism and then of
Methodism, great reverence for his
name arose, and use Of the term my
God |" became distasteful to fine ma
lures. But "mon Dieul" somehow
sounds MISUNDERSTANDING Spokes-
man Review.

WILL live FOREVER
Glory Won by American Marines
ImperishabIe.
Famous Prussisn Guard Fled Before
Them at chateau-Thierry as sheep
Before Wolves, and World
Was Saved.


From Arbea to Argonne; from the
day when Alexander's phalanx bore
down the Persian lines to the day when
the American marines scattered the
best of Germany like smoke, the i'm
perial guard Of mighty sovereigns has
been the keystone. the central fabric,
the very basis of military power. De-
stroy the guard and the morale Of ev-
cry royal army vanishes like mist be-
fore the sun.
Fierce was the fighting on Arbela's
plain. and vain the onsets of the Mace
domains until the Persian guard gave
way-and night saw the Persian en-
pire in the young invaders hands.
SPANS reslstless infantry shook the
earth till the Spanish guard was mown
down by Condo at Rocroy.
At Austerlitz the Russian ranks held
fast till the cars gigantic guards we're
cut through and scattered. And the
soldiers at Waterloo. outfanked. out
numbered, would not yield till the
guard gave back upon the fatal slope
of Mont st. Jean. So went the story
through the ages-and the last chap
ter of imperial guards and guardsmen's
glory is fitting epilogue.
Down through the ravaged fields of
France came the imperial guard Of
Prussia, and the wearied. wornout
men Of France gave ground in grim
despair. The guard was coming. The
guard was conquering. Paris in few
more hours, and victory-a Prussian
peace, won by Williams matchless
guards.
Then. across the wheat fields and
hills, came the American marines
young fighting devildogs from overseas.
What to them was the glory of the
guard? What cared they for the tall
cbinelike advance of Williams incom-
parallels? The American marines went
into a sheepfold-and the fate Of all
the world hung in the trembling bal
ance as the struggle ragged
1--WE saw few black dots break
from the guard and struggle down the
hill; then a dark blot on the hillside;
then the guard reeled and its whole
great mass came staggering down. All
is lOst-the guard recoils." So spoke
the historians who watched at Water
loo.
So It was at Chateau-Thierry First
few gray dots broke from the far
side of the wood; then more and more !;
then. panic stricken. reellng, whipped.
the Prussian guard came madly out
and onward and away. The guard re-
coiled-the day was lost-Germany
was lost-the empire of the world was
lost.
When the guard breaks. the doom
Of any king is sealed. 1t was so three
thousand years ago, and what may be
the last tale of the wreckage Of an
Imperial guard is but the final confir-
nation Of the old, old story.

Animals Strong instinct.

Some animals are remarkable, in
deed, for the wonderful development
of love and devotion they possess and
show toward men. They are so acute
in the sense of their affections that
they seem to perceive TIE feelings Of
their master in advance of his express
sionS. Masters of dumb animals have
often been heard to declare that their
animals We're quicker to detect in them
a spirit of anger than were their fell

The dance frock of the young girl may be as quaint as she pleases, and no comment will arise, for has she not forfeited enough of her precious time to the serious side of life? Now is the reaction, but it does not affect the afternoon and street dresses. They remain quite untouched by the influ- ence of peace. Although the silhou- ette of the evening gown continues along the same lines, the materials are more gorgeous, and the adorn- ment is not So scant.
 Dresses of Chintz.
 Simple dresses of chintz have been popularized at the southern resorts and promise to be favorites for sum- mer wear This inexpensive material makes quite a charming frock for the warm weather. The colors are bright and the designs may just border on being grotesque. One of the leading shops had on display an attractive lit tie frock made of chintz which had cream-colored background and huge black motifs, which, upon closer in spection, proved to be bird-cages. Out of these cages flew birds of delft blue, and the entire design was one of symmetry and grace. Needless to say that this frock would be the envy of many young girls.
 Worn at the southland, too, are frocks of gingham. For the past season, gingham was tie most favor ed material for frocks for morning

NORMAL NOTES
 MAY CALHOUN

The Normal basketball team duly arrived home and although theil method of arrival, which rather re- sembled relay race, made it impos- sible for the student body to meet them at the train, they were heartily welcomed during general assembly last Friday morning. Under our ef- ficient yell leader, Harvey Pitts, the assembly hall rang with the cheers for the team. The boys gave little incl dents of their trip in a series of speeches and it seems that Coach Fuller has some pictures that sub stantiate various stories told. Satur- day evening an informal dance was given in honor of the boys. Mir. and Mrs. Perry rendered the music for the evening and good many town people were present.
 Next Saturday afternoon the Nor maj school team will play the Tempe Normal basketball team here in Flag staff. We expect that everyone who is interested in this Normal school will be present at the game and give our team the support it desires.
 Lieutenant Renard of the French army gave very interesting talk in assembly Tuesday afternoon.

The Junior Red Cross is aiding the French orphans and still more assist ance will be welcomed to save the fu- ture of the French race.

Directoire Influence m
 the Spring Costumes

and afternoon wear A gingham skirt, like the one shown with the middy blouse, would be very pretty for hot days. For spring, plaid woolen material would be smart and attractive.
 Directoire Influence for Spring.
 The coy charm of this interesting period is not to be overlooked, and many of the spring dresses and suits are modelled after this quaint style. Large hats of the directoire period are developed in Georgette, and the tiny straw ones are trimmed with os- trich.
 Milliners predict that ostrich and ribbon will be the trimmings most ex- tensively used on the spring hats. Ribbon is always smart and tailored looking, and ostrich has all those ne- cessary characteristics to warrant it's place on the dressy hat.
 BlOuses with Short Sleeves.
 A number of blouses that are shown by the higher-class houses show either elbow-length or three-quarter- length sleeves. These blouses are
