japanese "Maru.r

The word "maru" attached to the
name Of every merchant ship and
commonly accepted as meaning ship"
in reality has no known meaning. Ac-
cording to a japanese authority the
word is the survival Of custom GEN.
turtles old There are two opinions as
to how the custom started. The story,
the more likely to be the true one, Is
that in ancient times the Japanese
attached 'maru" to the name of any
thing precious or highly priced, as a
sword or a baby. 1t was first applied
to a ships name about 1000 years
ago, when the Empress lingo sent an
expedition 70 Korea. She added the
word to the name of the ship that
transported the troops to Korea. Ever
since then "maru" has been associated
with the name of a steamship or sail
Ing vessel. II is never used with the
name OF q warship.

2 g Australia.

Fish were not always nsh. and did
not always stay under water. accord
ing to the story Of the blacks Of the
Australian bush. They say that fishes
once lived ON land and went hunting
Just Is other people do.
{. One day the fishes were gathered
together In q camp near q river, the
story goes. It was very cold, and the
fishes were huddled around a fire try
ing to get warm. Suddenly q great
wind came up and blew both the fishes
and the fire into the water. The fishes
Just crowded around the fire under
the waves and kept warm. That Is
how the fish first came to stay in rivers
and streams, the bushmen say. They
add that the fire Is still under the wa
ter, and that Is why 1t Is always warm
er under water on cold day than 1t
il on land. They also say that the
crow once owned all the fire there was
on earth, and that he kept it In bag.
One day 1t dropped from his bill and
q sparrow hawk saw it fall. He dove
after it and grabbed the bag. When
he flew away the crow gave chase and
overlook him. The two birds fought.
and In the mixup the fire fell out OF
the bag and set the grass and leaves
ablaze. The crow tried in vain to
prevent the spread Of the flames by
stamping on them and rolling in them
but the fire spread over the earth
and everybody got some. To this day
the crow is black from rolling on the
burned grass, they say.

relief ship was recently sent from

i OF drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at s1,511 ,233.
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross,
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting to over $4,000 900,

Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian sol
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$4,000 a week The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that so per cent. of them were
tuberCular.
In addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
list of supplies sent over was for the
comfort convenience and pleasure of
the Allied soldiers. Just a few of
these articles were playing cards,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins,
accOrdeOns, ukaleles, monographs,
cameras, skates, wigs, Whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snoWshoes,
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base

prayer books, boxing gloves, games,
music, books, cigarettes, candy and
dried fruits
The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the k0Ia
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.

Celebrating New Year

The most familiar observance Of
New Year is the holiday greeting, in
which the principal purvose is appar-
emily to say Happy New Year" before
the other fellow does.
The sporting element welcome the
fresh cycle of opportunity with such
enthusiasm, that a day or two of alb
sence from work may be its first cpl
sode. People who dislike noise and
racket do not look favorablv on the
holiday antics of large cities. They
should remember that active exercise
with FISH horn may let off surplus
energy that could do no harm if con-
fined.
The literalist may say that New,
Years varies from other days in nc
manner. Yet every section of COM
pleted time has its vast significance
New Years is an excellent time to
stop a moment and ask what it all
means. If we can get some new in
sight and purpose for the period w.
ing before US, the day will have value
far above the lapse of astronomical
time which it covers.
