Harder and faster beat Billie and
harder and faster beat Uncle Wiggily,

Uncle Wiggily thought OF going TO

the bad creature sticking out and, right
away, the squirrel boy knew what had
happened.
"The old Bazumpus is hiding in there

| Billie. Quickly taking up his broom

as hard as he could beat it, right on the

Uncle Wiggily. That is needless

"Oh, no, it isn't" shouted Billie, and
he beat away harder than ever,

blows on the bad old Bazumpus between

Women of Today
az EDITH E. MoRIARrY.

Miss Minnie Seaman, pretty CON
vent -bred girl, has been appointed q
deputy United States marshal. She Is
the first woman in Arizona to be APP
pointed deputy and as far as is known
she is the only woman in the United
States to hold such office.
Although distinctly feminine, Miss
Seaman is endowed with quglities de-
cidedly Western. which makes her
laugh at the idea that there is danger
in her position. She proposes joining
other deputies and agents of the de-
partment of justice on the raids for
stills in the Arizona mountains or on
the desert lands. Her work, however,
will be largely stenographic, but she
may be called upon to carry on any
Of those duties that devolve on mar
shals deputies which she declares she
is ready and willing to do so.
Miss Seaman was educated in a con-
vent, where she received special IN
struction in music and art. After com
pleting her course she notified her
wealthy Arizona relatives that she did
not intend leading butterfly life, She
forthwith secured a position as clerk
in the legislature. Later she. was at,
tached to the office of acknowledgement
and her recent appointment as deputy
is still farther away from butterfly
life"

What's In a Name?
LOIS.
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

LOIS.
Downright. 1920. by the Wheeler Syn

Lois Is really a masculine name. 1t
means famous war and comes from
the Teutonic Nomenclature through the
Karling romances. Lois or Loiz, as II
is sometimes spelled, Is really Louis,
The French king whom the French
knew as Louis de Debonnaire, was orig
inally called Lluduicus, The Provencal
promptly softened the name to Alloys
but SO popular did Louis become that
no member of the French royal family
was christened without it. Finally the
soft Alloys gained favor throughout
France and the "a" was dropped pro-
ducing the musical Logs. The Bretons
were already using the name OF Loiz,
so the ~" in Lovs disappeared and
Lois appeared and remained perma-
nent,
Logs was the only form that Of the
innumerable versions of Louis that be-
came applied as a feminine name,
SPANS Louis has never wavered from
its masculine Interpretation, nor has
the Luiz of Portugal, France formed
an Heloise from Lois and Louise might
possibly be called an equivalent for
Lois il it were not for that strain OF
Provencal.
Lois has been given in baptism gen
orally as a name OF sentiment. 1t is
trifle difficult to pronounce bait Is
undoubtedly beautiful ana eXtraordina-
rily popular in this country.
The talismanic gem assigned TO Lois
Is the onyx II should be worn witt

misfortunes. Monday Is her lucky day
