Upon the departure of the British
all civil and military affairs were

The first fortnight that they have been

Russians Depended On
Allied Forces Too Much

ARCHANGEL, Nov. 17.-(By As

was one of the reasons for the low
efficiency heretofore displayed by the
Northern Russians in fighting the
Bolsheviki. They depended too much

GAMES OF SIAMESE KIDDIES
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay Dollies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up in
the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot Of the ladder
for the house is built on posts-to
large jar Of water with a coconut
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face.
She needs no towel, for the water is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require combing, either, for it is
all shaved except little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied in
little knot and not very often combed
After breakfast is over, the children
go off and find some pleasant place in
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried in the sun. Little images of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls
The boys of Siam are very fond OF
pitching coins, and spend much of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are In
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
AS the streets in Siam are almost
all rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and girls early learn to row, and pad
die their little boats almost as soon as
they learn to swim, which they dc
when they are only four or five years
old,

Uncle Sam Gives Soldier Boy

Lilliard Evans is a colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown off in ac-,

terman General Hospital at the Pre-
sidio in San Francisco. He can and
does dance fox trots and one-steps.
How? Why?
Of course to dance fox trot or a one
step fellow has to have legs-good
legs Well, Evans has them-not his
own legs of flesh and bone, but his own
willow legs with joints and everything.
He is going to leave Letterman pretty
soon and go back to work and make
his living sand probably get married
and raise children. That's the how.
The why of it is-the government of
the United States has gone in for leg
and arm making. 1t is giving spe
cially built leg or arm or hand or a
pair OF legs or arms or hands to every
soldier who lost his legs or arms In the
war. At Letterman in particular th@y
are making legs and arms and hanAU
in their own workshop. They are nnals-
ing them because they have hit upo1 a

manufacturers are turning out, not 0H-

PUDDLES, A CAT FISHERMAN
Emulated Skill Of His Master, and En-.
leyed Diving In and Fetching
Out the Dogfish.

The English naturalist, Francis
Buckland, once told story of a fish
erman Of Portsmouth, England, whose
cat, Puddles, emulated in his peculiar
way the fishing skill of his master.
Quoting the fisherman, Mr.. Buckland
said:
He was the wonderfuIlest water
cat as ever come out of Portsmouth
harbOr, was Puddles. He used to go
out a-fshin' with me every night Cold
nights he would sit in my lap while
was a-fshin' and poke his head out
every now and then, or else / would
wrap him up In the sail and make him

swear a good one, and have the face
off 'em If they went to touch me. And
he'd never touch a fish, not even a lit
tie teeny pout, If / didn't give it to
him. was obligated to take him out
a-fishin', or else he'd stand and yowl
and MARI till 1 went back and catched
him by the poll and SHE'D him into the
boat, and then he was quite happy.
When it was fine he used to stick
up at the bow Of the boat and sit a.
watchin' the dogfsh. They used to
come alongside by the thousands at
time, and when they was thick all
about he'd dive in and fetch 'em out,
jammed in his mouth, just as if they
was a parcel of rats. He looked ter
rible wild about the head when he
come up out of the water with the fish
in his teeth.
l larnt him the water myself. One
day, when he was kitten, took him
down to the sea to wash him and
brush the f1eas out Of him, and in a
week he could swim after a feather

Naming Alaska.

The name Alaska is an English cor
ruption Of perversion of Alayeksa, as
1t was called by the aboriginal inhab-
itants OF the Aleutian islands, lying
to the westward, observes a geOgraph-
fcal magazine. When the Russians
first came to one of the Aleutian
islands, they were told that a vast
country lay to the eastward, and that
it's name was Alayeksa. The Aleuts
called their own island Nagun Alay-
eksa, meaning the land lying near
Alayeksa. By process of Russian
izing and Anglicizing Alayeksa became
Alaska, and Nagun-Alayeksa became
Unalaska. The original Aleutian word
Alayeksa meant ''the great country
as the inhabitants of scattered islands
would naturally consider a vast con-
tinental region of varied resources and
beautiful scenery as Alayeksa or Alas
ka has since proved to be.

BRITISH EXPERT
ANALYZES WAR
SAVINGS WORK
Large Number of Investors
Gives Greater Stability to
Financial Situation.

Of the benefit to a nation of popu
lar investment in government securi
ties of small denominations, a stu
dent of the British War Savings
movement writes:
''As the nations power to save and
accumulate capital depends upon an
excess of income over necessary ex.
penditure and as this power to save
is obviously greater amongst the well.
to-do, it is imperative that future
propagandist work should be con
Quoted amongst the upper and middle
classes no less than amongst the
wage earners.
''The work must also be continued
amongst the wage earners, for OBJ
Vious reasons. We all realize the
advantages to be derived by the state
from the more even distribution OF
wealth which an increase in the
number of small investors implies,
We all realize the greater stability
which a large number of small in.
vestors must give to the financial
situation. 1t is certain also that wise
spending and saving amongst the
masses of the people tends to In.
crease their efficiency and develop
their self-respect. 1t must also result
in the growth of more efficient race
of producers in the next generation
In this direction wise spending may
ultimately have no less beneficial
effects than saving although not SO
Immediately adding to the material
wealth of the nation"
There is food for thought in this
for the people of the nation with our

PROFESSORS OF
FINANCE WARN
NO BANK LOAN
u. of c. and Stanford Experts
Point the Way to Sound
Reconstruction Finance

The banks of the United States must
be left free to finance the reconstruc,
ton of productive enterprise and must
not be cluttered up with the Victory
Liberty Loan. That is the composite
thought-out opinion of two of the
Vests most noted professors oi
finance, Carl G. Plehn, professor o.
finance in the University of California
and Murray L. Wildman, head of the
department of economics and finance
of STAFFORD University Both agree
that the money. needed to finish paying
for the war should not come out o.
working capital, but should be raised
out of individual savings of humble
and wealthy.
IF the people take the Loan, as they
must" Professor Plehn says, "tht
banks will be left free to lend to the
manufacturer, the farmer, the grocer
the butcher and the baker, so thai
they can get busy again on a peace
time basis. Then production and busi
ness will grow and, by the formula
PlASOO WILL IOs IL We
leave it to the banks they will have
no funds left for business, big or lit
tie. We, ourselves, will not profit and
the day of our redemption will only be
postponed"
Professor Wildman, whose ability
caused him to be called from Stan
ford to Washington for war finance
service, agrees with the California
economist, adding: 1T would be {
grave mistake to saddle the banks OF
the country with the Victory Loan al
this time"
When two professors agree, It's
time to sit up and take notice. Wher
two professors not only agree with
each other, but agree with the Govern
ment, that settles it. Finance Is theil
business = particularly Government
finance. They have spent their lives
studying it and are paid good salaries
tfor teaching the principles of it to the
men who are going to run the nation
tomorrow.
Finance is net the business of the
wiseacre who screws down the cor
ners of his mouth and says, 'Let the
banks do it." Better take the advice
of scientists who know.

The truth about Mexico and the

In his trips over the state Of Texas
Mr. Quail says he has found a wide
variety Of opinion as 10 the method
that should be adopted to bring about
the pacification Of Mexico. But it IS
unanimously agreed. he says. that
Mexico should be pacified by what
ever means the administration and
congress determine to be necessary.
And he says it is conceded every

Of Mexico is merely nominal and does
not function for the protection Of
