WAR AGAINST THE BELUGA
French Oceanograph Society Starts
Fight on Enemies Of the
Fishermen.

A campaign against the beluga or
white whale was recently started from
DOuarnenez to COncarneau, in Brit
tainy, by the French Oceanograph So
ciety, in which nets and poison tubes
were used. The beluga, pest of the
fishermen, is generally cream white in
color, feeds mainly on marine fish and
commits ravages among the shoals.
The average length of the adult male
Is about 10 or 20 feet. To hunt down
the white whale net 100 yards long
was set up at Dournenez, while an

by the fishermen at Concarneau. Fur

What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM THAT YOU we're
DREAMING?

"AVELOCK ELLIS does not be-
i l. lieve that such thing as to
dream that you are dreaming is pos
sible. For his part, he says, he has
never had any such experience but ad-
mits that it has been borne witness
to by many philosophers and other
Investigators of dream phenomena
from Aristotle and Synesius down to
the present day. In this connection it
may be remarked that the literature
of dream science is a large one and
that the books written upon the SUBJ
ject by learned and distinguished
men from Aristotle the famous Greek
philosopher who died 1922 years before
Christ and was the first to attempt a
scientific investigation of the dream
problem-down to Freud and Have
lock, would fill considerable library.
Most of the scientists admit the fact
of dreams within dreams and nearly
everybody has had such an expert
ence, even though Havelock has not.
Havelock says that when in our dream
we say to ourselves, II am dreaming"
we are not asleep really but have
"emerged for a moment, without real
izing it, to the waking surface Of con-
sciousness." No one who has had
such dream will agree with him. The
other scientists, admitting the dream
within a dream, explain it in various
learned psychological ways.
AS for our mystic he bothers him.
self not at all about psychology but
declares that it is unlucky to dream
that you are dreaming. For it means
that somebody Is going to deceive you
and cheat you out Of money or valu-
ables. So if in some complicated or
unpleasant dream your dream
thought says: "It's all right anyway
I am only dreaming" look carefully
after your affairs and keep watch of
those who are in position to deceive
you. Journeys, unless absolutely nee,
essary, are not recommended after
such a dream. But its special war;
Ing is to be on the alert for cheats.

First Of all, get it firmly fixed in

In the world have no effect what
ever on Rheumatism.
A very common form Of Rheu-
matism is caused by millions Of
tiny disease germs which infest the

treatment. therefore, is one which
cleanses the blood Of these germs,

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS;
"JITNEY.".

TURING the period which i'm
IL mediately followed the
Mexican war, a number of words.
which were attractions or
slight changes of terms in COM
mon use south of the Rio
Grande entered the United
States vocabulary because Of the
Increased use Of colloquial Span
ish in the southern part Of this
country. Among these words
was "jitney"-a combination of
two Mexican words meaning the
lowest possible value, and first
used by American gamblers in
scornfully referring to the
"small change" or "chfcken
feed" which the Mexicans insist
ed on introducing into the games
of. chance. The copper cent be-
ing rare in those days, the term
was gradually applied to the
United States five-cent piece,
and worked its way North
where, among the street arabs
of, New York a nickel has long
been known as a "jit," just asa;
cent is, a. ''meg," a, "dimmo" is
a dime and q; "cutie" is a quar-
ter.
The advent of: the private mo-
torbus which charged five cents
for a ride helped materially to-
revive the term, the automobiles
first being known as "jitney-
buses" and then the name was
shortened to "jitneys."
