GAS PRESSURE CAUSED
"RAIM OF ROCKS" Is
OPINION OF EXPERTS

Pcarsall, Texas, Nov. 2S.--Gas
pressure, which probably has found
an outlet in some of the surround
ing hills near here, is thought by
local biologists to have caused the
mysterious rain of rocks upon
homes and in the streets of Pear
sail recently. One man was seri-
ously hurt when struck by a large
stone whcih came flying through
space. Many others barely es-
capped injury.
The first rain" of rocks was
reported several days ago when a
gang of road builders camped in
q vacant farm house near Pear
sail. The workers had just re-
tired for the night, when rocks
began falling upon the roof of
their temporary home. Thinking
that mischievous boys were play
ing a prank on them, they inves-
tigated, but could find no one
nearby. The "deluge' continued
during their investigation.
The matter was reported to the
sheriff of the county, who made
an investigation, but failed to solve
the mystery. A few nights later
rocks began falling in the streets
of the town, and then it was sugA
gested by biologists who are car
rying on an investigation in the
county, that possibly escaping gas
from one of the neighboring hills
sent the rocks hurting through the
air.
The rocks, it is said, are SIM
liar to those found in the hill
sides, but to date no one has found
the outlet for the escaping gas.
The investigation, however, is be-
ing continued.

SIM FEN METHODS
EMPLOYED, ALLEGED

Belfast, Nov. 2S.--A statement
issued tonight from Dublin castle,
after giving an account of the
Liverpool fires and accompanying
incidents, adds:
Read in conjunction with the
documents discovered last week in
which plans for Sim Fein re-
prisals against the English towns
of Manchester and Liverpool,
among number, were detailed,
these things have very sinister
aspect. The fact of the police be-
ing fired on suggests that the
methods of the Sim Fein murder
gang in Ireland are being en-
ployed against the English people,
even if the personnel of the muir
ders is not the same"

What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
BECKY.

The saucily piquant name OF
Becky is too generally in usage to
pass over as a mere contraction OF
Rebecca. Becky is given in baptism
quite as frequently as Rebecca, and
it is not usually regarded as a Jew
ish name. 1t comes. however, from
the old Hebrew word Rabak, which
means TO bind"
The Bible tells us that Isaac's
wife, who is supposed to represent
the ideal of noble wifehood. was
named from this word with the idea
OF signifying the frmness of the
marriage bond. but Rebecca was by
no means confined to Biblical his
tory. She has named the herolnes
Of literature down through the
ages.
Sir Walter Scott, in his "Ivanhoe," ,"
calls the real heroine OF his story,
the gentle and lOyable Jewess, Re
becca But Thackeray, in his never
Vanity Fair" gives
us the equally memorable Becky
Sharp. 1t is probably safe to as
sumo that all Beckys dated from
this period. Their number are le-
gion and the quaintness of the name,
aside from its literary distinction,
insures its perpetuation.
Becky has a curious talismanic
gem. It is the loadstone, which is
said to bring her the great happiness
and many friends. Saturday is her
lucky day and her lucky number

Daily Horoscope

The planets rule for good this day.
according to astrology.
This is a sway most favorable for
all who project altruistic or pro-
gressive ideas, since it makes for
ractICal development.
It is a lucky day for commercial
enterprises and for whatever de-
pends on navigation.
There is a peculiarly fortunate di-
rection this day for all who seek
prefcrment. Political candidates
should benefit by planetary forces
that stimulate energy and encourage
right efforts.
Speech is subject to influences
that seem to presage a return to por-
ularity OF orators and all who use
the power Of spoken argument.
Lawyers should benefit greatly
during this rule. which is most help
full to women as we'll as men.
Saturn frowns in a way that is
read as foreshadowinE differences OF
opinion between men and women.
Again there is a prophecy of min
ing troubles and of dangers to those
who work underground.
= Real estate is subject to a govern
ment of the stars which will greatly
affect values. Western cities will be
the first to notice a slight decline
the seers announce.
Despite all good signs. the cul-
mination Of Mars in Russia is held
to be sinister in its meaning. Re
newed disturbances seem to be indi-
Gated at a time when conditions ap-
pear to be improving.
Switzerland and the West Indies
are still subject to rule that is no,
promising.
Education now will assume a great
Importance, and will be Of concern
to millionaires and leaders OF
thought in the United States.
Persons whose birthdate it is
should not speculate or go to law
business may be rather perplexing
and should be carefully watched.
Children born on this day are like
ly to be quick and well balanced in

What Bernard Shaw thought Of

Mr.. Shaw. who suffered many

manager was, just as he did not
know what an author was. He had

definitely what an actor was. II he
had not been so amusing, so in
genuoUs and so entirely well-ln-
tentioned, he would have driven me
crazy.

The Head Nurse
TAKE THE PULSE.

One Of the first things the regu-
lar trained nurse learns is to count
the pulse II is the Indicator which
tells Of vital conditions. II would
be an easy thing for the home nurse
to learn and in many Instances she
could avoid undue alarm il she
knew the extent of the danger as
shown by the pulse.
Usually the pulse is counted in
the rise and fall Of the radial artery
in the wrist. The nurse with watch
in hand places the tips Of her first
and second fingers over the artery
and counts the number OF beats to
the half minute. In children ordi-
nariiy il should be about ninety TO
the minute. in adults from sixty to
eighty. Every mother should be
familiar with the normal beat Of
her chiId's pulse; whether it is usu-
ally weak, strong or medium in
volume.
Then If an illness occurs she will
know just how far it is from nor
NAL
Aside from the number Of beats
there are other qualities to note in
taking the pulse. Its rhythm-ir
regular or Irregular. Whether in
termittent or steady. Size Of the
artery.

whether the rise is sudden or grad
ual; duration Of impulse-long or
short
Fall-abruPt or gradual Its com
pressib ibilIty-whether Of high or low
tension
The ,harcter of the pulse depends
upon the action Of the heart. the
condition Of the arteries and the
amount Of resistance in the capil-

The norma! pulse may be affected
by the same causes which produce
variations in the temperature Its
frequency is increased by food or
