THE oIID-TRIE FIREPLACE
(By Frank Il Stanton.l
Pile the oak logs higher
When winds of winter race;
Soon youll seek the fire
In the old-time fire place.
Hold this lesson well in sight;
Life must keep the fire bright
In the chimney corner
In the firelight's gleams,
Tell the old-time stories
Dream the old, sweet dreams,
In lifes morning and its night,
Brethren, keep the fire bright

The word fritter which with cooler
weather will become popular once
more. originates from an old French
word meaning to fry, which comes
from the Latin past participle OF the
verb frigere. frictus.
Similarly, fricassee takes its name
from the same Latin verb or from the
French "fracasser," meaning TO break
into pieces. or. as some experts be-
Iieve from the Latin "fricare." TO rub.
ANY meat fried in a pan is fricasseed.

Another word OF French and Latin
birth is tart. Tart is n culinary cor
ruption OF the word "tourte" (French).
derived from ''tartine," slice of
bread. This comes from the Latin
storuueo," 10 twist, hence the word
~torta" means a twist or roll OF bread.
In the middle ages there was a de-
fciency in plates. and SO for a sub
stitute, an undercrust Of bread served
as a plate. For long time in France
this undercrust of the "tourte," or
"tarte," was the most common NJ

served diners ate even their pilates"
In time these dinner plates. made
OF dinner rolls, came TO be prepared
specially and developed into cake
like batter, which was filled with dain-
~ food. And so they were called tarts
and tartlettes. and were served as a
distinct dish.-Gas Logic.

NO OLD MAIDS IN BABYLON
Ancient City Had a System Which AS
sured the Marriage Of All
the Females.

The first known auctions OF the
world we're held in Babylon many
centuries before Christ. The articles
auctloned consisted of all the virgins
in the city and the sale was held once
a year On the day selected the girls
were brought TO the market place ana
there ordered TO remove their gar
ments. All the young men of the city
were also gathered and the maidens'
one by one, were led TO block where
the youth of the city could inspect
them. The beautiful girls were sold
first and every effort made TO get as
much as possible for their charms
The young men of those days were
as eager TO win the fairest maid pos
sible by bidding as men Of a later age
were TO win them by brave deeds or
pleadings. AS a result fortunes were
In the hands OF the auctioneer by the
time the homely girls were reached.
This fortune was then divided up and
the auctlOneering took new life. The
homeliest girl was given the largest
part of the money collected from
beauty and many poor man found
himself with very hOmely wife but
a comfortable start in business. The
system at least did away with old
maids and bachelors and insured
steady growth of population and few
dependents on the state.

Officially speaking, a person holding
assimilated rank Is one who exercises
limited authority Of that rank under

the fun privileges OF the rank. It lacks
several OF the elements OF absolute
rank. IL does not call for a commits

makes no attempt to confer the power
OF command incident 10 line officer
Of similar grade. The only Incidents
OF absolute rank conferred are:
1. The dignity incident TO the name
of the rank.
2. The right to wear the insignia
thereof.
3. The eligibility to exercise author
ity within the limits set forth In the
law. which are as follows: "As re-
CARDS medical and sanitary matters
and all work I'm the line Of their du-
ties. they shall have and shall be re-
garded as having authority in and
about military hospitals next after the
medical officers of the army"
The movement for rank for army
nurses began with Americas entry into
the great war. series Of hearings
on the proposition were held before
the house committee on military af-
fairs on April 10, April 20 and June Z,
1918. Nothing Immediately resulted,

army reorganization was plainly i'm

More than 10000 army nurses saw

were graduate nurses recruited largely
through the American Red Cross nurs-
ing service. Army nurses were among
the first to represent America on the
other side.

BALLARD URGES EXTRA
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
TO RAISE ROAD FUNDS

Louisville, KY, Nov. r. The
Courier-Journal tonight quotes Lieut..
Gov. Ballard as saying he will request
Governor Morrow to call a special
session of the legislature for this win
ter to arrange for funds for building
needs.
Lieut. Governor Ballard said he
would obtain these funds through
taxing coal and oil largely, the news
paper says. Coal, Mr.. Ballard said.
should be taxed ten cents ton which
would yield the state about $4,000, 900
annually. Oil he said should also be
taxed "a plenty"
Something else must be done to
raise road funds Ballard said he be-
lieves as substitute for the law
taxing liquor fifty cents gallon which
was held unconstitutional by the court
of appeals. This law was expected to
yield the state $15,OOO,OOO annually.
