GEORGIA
ICopyright)

6EOHGlA
Georgia has deeply religious origin
among the Marinite Christians who
have tradition that Georges was a
Christian sentinel at Damascus, who
connived at the escape of st. Paul
when he was let down in the basket,
and was therefore put to death. The
next Georges was Cappadocian
saint and martyr in whose honor the
Emperor Constantine erected
church at Byzantium. Throughout all
early church history Georgius appears
as saint, martyr or hero until finally
the famous st. George of the Dragon
legend became renowned in England.
Curiously enough, though George
penetrated every country Of the west,
icing adopted by England, France,
Hungary and Germany, the feminine
is quite modernism. 1t was not until
comparatively recent years that Anne
OF Denmark was instrumental in hav-
ing a Godchild of hers, Christened
Georgia Anna. She was the first
English Georgia, though the name is
said to have existed previously on the
continent. 1t is possible that this same
Georgia Anna coupled her two names
for the sake of euphony and is re-
sponsible for the Georgiana which Is
now so popular in all English-speaking
countries.
The French adopted Georgia, but
! quickly changed her to Georgine and
Georgette. Germany liked Geergine

FOLKS


Human beings are the most inter-

young, rich or poor, whether of low or
high estate.
So know them!
No one succeeds without knowl-
edge of people And no one succeeds
without trusting people, for people
are the beginning and the end OF every
reward that comes to people.
Some there are who go on the pr1n-
ciple that no one should be trusted
until proved unworthy. So that a
knowledge Of all people is the most
important knowledge to be secured.
If life was about ten times as long,
then maybe there would be room for
distrustful people. But it is very short

Every newspaper office can testify to the
waste baskets of documents that busy publicity
agents in Washington devise daily to harass the
soul of the public. Of course, the amount asked
by the public printer-about 100000 for
next year-seems to be negligible sum in an era
of extravagant spending by governmental depart

heads really desire economy as they are con-
stantly advising the public, why wouldn't little
pruning in the printing of public documents
count for something?

Good Evening
CONCERNING CLANS.
BY ROY X. MOULTON

A fat friend of ours by the name of
Don Marquis, who lives in Port Wash
lngton, coaXed friend of his to send
us a half bushel of CLANS The
friend phoned and asked us whether
we wanted hard or soft clans. Not
being an expert clammist, we took one
guess and chose hard CLANS. The man
who had brought the clans told us all
we had to Go was open the clans and
cook them.
That's all we had to do-open them
We spent the better part of one af-
ternoon and broke five knives and a
chisel without opening a clam. Those
CLAIMS were as reticent aS Colonel
House and refused to be interviewed.
Finally We took the clans out in
the back yard, got chopping block
and an axe and got right down to
business. We placed the first slippery
clam on the block. raised the axe and
let go. Said clam left the vicinity like
a meteor and crashed through the
bathroom window OF Chester Bee
croft's house. Chester was taking a
bath at the time and the clam con-
nected with his right eye We
apologiZed and started on another
clam.
Clam No. sailed over our own
house and hit an automobile wind
shield block away. but the satisfied
owner of the car didn't know where
the clam came from and we started
on the third. This one hit carpenter
who was making some repairs on a
room back of us, and he was removed
to the hospital in a dazed condition.
No. hit Richard Outcault, who was
out raking leaves, and then somebody
called the police. We retired to the
cellar with the clans.
In the dead of night we took them
out and buried them behind the barn.
An expert clammist has told us since
that the way to open a hard clam is
to tickle him with a feather, and then
when he opens his mouth, stick an
iron wedge into it. It's all in knowing
how.

South Bend Man Must Pay
Death Penalty for Murder
(By Associated Press)

SOUTH BEND, Ind, March Wal
ter Baker %, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree and his
punishment fixed at death in the cleo
trio chair by the st. Joseph circuit
court jury, after 35 hours delibera-
ton. Baker, with Steve Bartak, and
Ernest Gariety, are charged with the
murder of Clark H. Cook, LaPorte
grocer, Dec. "a. 1918.
This is the second death penalty
asked by a jury in the history of St

hang for the murder of a fellow pris
oner at Michigan City, Ind. The death
penalty will be asked for Gariety and
Bartak.
