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

Though Eulalie. or Eulalia as It is
sometimes preferred, has a Spanish
origin as well as pronunciation, the
name. has come to be used as purely
American. Perhaps no other name has
more beautiful or pathetic history. 1t
means fair speech" and comes from
the Greek term for that phrase.
The first Eulalia known to history
was a child of IL, who possessed such
extreme of Spanish piety that she es-
capped from her parents guardianship
and entered Merida, proclaiming herself
Christian and enduring martyrdom in
the persecution of Diocletian. The great
Christian poet Prudentius has written
of the child's beautiful faith and cruel
suffering and spread her fame through
out Europe. The Russians call her
Jevlalija and the Serbians, Evlalija or
Lelica.
Another virgin martyr called Eulahe
died at Barcelona. Her relics spread
into Guienne and Languedoc and named
the villages of Ste. Aulazie and Ste,
Aulaire. Both Eulalia and Eulalie are
used INTERCHANGEABLE in France and
Spain. Eulalia is frequent in England,
appearing in very early times in church
registries in Devon and Cornwall.
Eulalie's talsmanic gem is the agate.
If worn by her as an amulet. it will
protect her from danger and give her
courage and energy. 1t promises her
pleasant disposition and the gift of
persuasion by which she will always
attain her hearts desire. Tuesday is
her lucky day and 2 her lucky num-
Der. The wild rose Is her flower.

thence
Many OF you young men are entirely
too thoughtful of your health Forget
1t. The farm life will take care of
that. Ask for a place in the furrow
behind an old-fashioned walking pillow.
ASK for a position as general manager
Of good mule team, with a rough
farm wagon thrown in. Haul some
wood hay, fodder or a few loads of
harn manure. Get into the spirit of
the farm game and you will like it bet
ter than any other you ever tried.
The young man who starts out on
farm as a mixture of tenderfoot and
pale face combined should never carry
"a powder puff, perfume bottle or bou-
. quet. Obtain pair or old overalls that
look like you had used them about two
: seasons already. an old SLOUGH hat,
: a pair of hobnailed shoes. red ban
! danna handkerchief, more or less faded,
a hickory shirt or two and a pair of
old rough work gloves, This should
. constitute practically your entire stock
of working materials.
NOW DO not apply to any ordinary
farmer for job to play his piano, drive
/. his limousine or take his growing
Z daughter to a fashionable party. Rub
some CRIME on your face, if you look
white livered. and learn to speak the
farm language, including the few
phrases understood by mules, guineas
and mich cows.
You will be sore and bruised in body

to grow tough in physique and elevated
in spirit. Your appetite will become

OF solid flesh. 1t is a glorious feeling
TO seem to be able to pick up a yearlng

Women of Today

Mrs, Eleanor Rowland wembridge.
formerly dean of women at Reed col
lege, oregon, Is living example OF the
theories which she advocates. Mrs.
Wembridge is a supporter of the wom-
ans movement which she describes as
the philosophy of life which asserts
that women have rights and obligations
other than those relating to their fam
lies"
She further explains the term "wom-
ans movement as meaning the COM
bined forces of all the movements
among women, which point to her prog
ress toward independence, social re-
sponsibiity, education, family better
ment, professional training, Industrial
freedom a fuller realization of her
duties OF citizenship, religious sincerity
and tolerance.
Mrs. Wembridge, whose husband IA
a successful engineer has always had
some serious work and interests out
side her home, Where the best work is
to be done the family goes whether
it is job for the engineer or the lead
er of women. Mrs. Wembridge urges
that women train for some work which
they may carry on after marriage. She
also urges that married women give a
few hours day to some work outside
the home. There are thousands Of
schools closed now because teachers
can not be found and there are thou
sands Of married women who have been
successful teachers. There is no rea-
son why they can not arrange to give
some of their time to teaching, Is the
opinion OF Mrs. Wembrdge, who has
done il.
"One thing which prevents women
from doing outside work, however, IL
the plain matter of food. This could be
solved by the establishment of com.
munity Kitchens which deliver cooked
food to the homes" Is another Of Mrs.
Wembridges very advanced ideas and
she is full of many more progressive
suggestions The woman with con-
program for a new professional and
family life and every woman might well
adopt this motto: / am a woman,
count nothing human allen to me-"

We liked him and he must have liked us
for he has stayed around here ever
since, and he sings to US all day. first
from the ridge OF the house, then from
the top of the barn. or from fruit
tree or from the strawberry patch, But
his tavorte place is on a little wooden
bail that daddy put on top Of my play
house
And now the linnets are here building
their nests in the rose bushes on the
playhouse and in the blackberry bush
that runs up on the back Of the house.
And one is trying to build on a brace
under the caves. And yesterday when
mother was in the yard with Norman
the hooking bird was on the ridge right
over the place where the linnets were
trying to build under the caves. The
mother bird would get piece OF some
thing in her bill and fly toward the
nest, and the knocking bird would fly
at her and chase her away. Then all
at once the daddy bird would draw the
attention of the hooking bird and the
hooking bird would dart away after the
daddy bird and the mother bird would
fly to the nest
Now, don't you think that If this
hooking bird had a wife and a home
of his own that he would leave the
other birds alone? And this is whore
