Dear Mrs. Friedenthal:
Greetings from the Golden Gate, the
Land of the Sunset, AID the Dead
locked convention. The blending here
of tropic and temperate, of Occident
and Orient. of old and new. appeals to
me strongly. While I'm not Il Cali
forniac" (i e name givei: To those who
believe this is the only Gods country
must say that I've found most things
here much better than anticipated. And
now for the catch. I've not received
IL single copy of the News since I'm
here. Please investigate.
San Francisco and vicinity has three
times the Jewish population that Den
yer has. thrice as many rabbis and more
Jewish Institutions. But it lacks an
essential real Jewish newspaper,
such as Denver possesses in its jew
ish News. Truly, one doesn't fully
realize what one missed till ones away
from home.
Very sincerely yours.

Success ana Failure.

The secret of real success is this: If you have lived such life that you can say; "l have never done any man an injury" If you can say of your enemies: T freely forgive them of the injuries they have done me, and pity them for having done so." and If you can rejoice in the fact that you are not like them; if you can sleep all night the sound sleep of clear con- science, and rejoice in the knowledge that you possess a conscience; if you possess a tender heart that can move you to tears of sympathy for the strick- en one and nature given to lending of a helping hand to such stricken ones. and if, when you come to that time when ''The cruel master death seals the eyes and steals thy breath," and can calmly face that moment with out fear, with full knowledge of a "well done" at the end, then you are success. otherwise, no matter what your station in life may be you are a failure.

Wireless Waves and Fire.

At first thought it seems highly im- probable that any fire could be ascribed to the effect of wireless waves, though 1t Is conceivable that. granted certain especially favorable conditions, the kindling of spark between adjacent metal parts might have such effect. M. Le Roy. in a recent issue of the Comptes Rendus, describes expert ments intended to test this point. He had met with several cases in which fires did appear to have been caused by wireless waves. Accordingly, he constructed an 'inflammable resona- tor" by the aid of which he did suc- ceed in setting fire to paper, cotton wadding and other substances. He thinks 1t possible that in certain con- dltions inflammabe substances such as bales of cotton bound with hoop iron, could be set on fire by wireless means.-Dallas News.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-03-04
Origin of Family Names.

That the origin of family names can be readily traced is shown by a recent book published by an English scholar, in which he has successfully traced more than 6,00O names. He reaches the conclusion that fully half of them are based on occupation or locality. Thus, Crook" more likely became the name of a man who lived near the bend of river rather than a person of crooked body or morals. Also "Wilder' meant not wild man, but one who lived in the wilderness. Such names as Bishop, Pope. Priest, Lord and other religious terms are de- rived from names that characters bore in the old church festivals and pageants. Long after the Norman con- quest the baptismal name was, strictly speaking, the only true name.
