GLADYS.

Though popular in the chorus and
frequently in use as the heroine of
popular fiction. where Gladys de
Montmorency was considered the
heighth of feminine elegance. Gladys
comes from a dignifed old Roman
family, the Claudian gems. The
Claudi gave much fame In early
Rome and figure in most OF the
tragedies of the city and the En-
peror Claudius, through his con-
quests in Britain, spread his name
throughout Europe.
The first feminine Claudia, was
the daughter of a British prince who
sent her greetings to st. Timothy in
St PauTs epistle. The masculine
form. Cladus. or Gladus. as il was
sometimes spelled, BEGAN popular
in England and was taken over by
The Welsh, who are responsible for
the feminine Gladys.
Gladys came 10 be considered the
equivalent for Claudia and as such
was reverenced, but her name never
achieved the popularity Of its equiv
alent because Of its harsh sound.
Though recognized as Gladys it was
more often given in baptism as
Claudia, or Claude, as the French
call IL.
France rejected Gladys completely,
preferring the softer Claudine. and

safety Of the national park reservation. An extra
appropriation buy hay was asked of

Then some one thought OF trying cottonseed cake.
Naturalists and other persons familiar with the
habits of elk said the plan wouldn't work because
the elk wouldn't the cottonseed cake. 1t
too civilized a food for the wild herds.
To their surprise and to the satisfaction of the
men who had suggested the feed, the elk took
it with great enthusiasm. They ate all the first
supply once and thereafter stampeded the feed
ing grounds whenever the wagons bearing more
feed appeared

THRIFTY EMPLOYEES ARE BEST.

Employers who have been working the gov
eminent thrift plan among their emf loyes find
ing it very active and useful influence in stabz-
ing labor conditions
The habit Of regular savings and small but safe
investment has a tendency to make man steadier
in his other habits Many shops which have been
trying the scheme report that there has been hard
~ any change in their shop personnel during all
the cent labor upheavas. IN many institutions It
has been found an incentive to increased effort
Production has been stimulated, and quality of
duction raised.
characterization too progresses speedily where
men arc acquiring the savings habit. In con-
Germ was noted that 500 foreign employees those
who asked for citizenship papers all buying
War SAVINGS stamps and those who refused to take
pagers not.
1t makes little difference whether the govern
ment thrift club other scheme is used. If
the habit systematic saving can be started among
employees any group OF individuals, the result
will be better citizenship and service But the par
cular advantage of the government stamps is their
absolute security investment.
