A Broad Hint.

Ordinarily straw votes don't amount to
much, but the rule hardly applies to the ex-
preston OF the colleges and universities OF the
country upon ratification OF the peace treaty.
Probably no better way could be found to get
It the true sentiment Of the thinking people
OF the land than in this manner, and it is
extremely unlikely that prejudices have played
any part in compilation Of the returns.
II the demand for ratification was not clear
to everybody It ought to be now that the results
are coming In. Nobody outside of political
circles cares hang how the gentlemen in
Washington get together 1t is up to them to
md a way and unquestionably it's the senate's
move.
The president submitted the treaty for rati
ncation in the form that he agreed upon with
the allies BY his bargain with them he is
committed to 1t as it stands. As David Law
renee points out, he cannot now consistently
initiate changes. The senate can, and should
decide what is acceptable to 1t. Then it will
be up to the president to find out whether the
allies will do business with us on the altered
basis.
The question is whether the senate is pre-
pared to take this latest and broadcast hint as
to what the people want, or whether it will
wait for the toe already poised in the back
ground.

@. Is a patient or a druggist the

A. The bureau OF chemistry saws
that it has never been legally de-
cided whether a druggist or a pa

not object to supplying the patient
with copy of the prescription.
@. Which is larger, British Amer
lea or the United States and her

A. British America, which con-

AMANDA.

AMANDA.
Though not generally considered
q romantic name, Amanda has, by
heritage, the right to be considered
the essence of sentiment. The name
signifies worthy to be beloved" and
is one of the feminine names de-
rived from the Latin verb ''amo," to
love. There are many modern
derivatives of the little Latin word,
especially in all the southern lam
guages of western Europe.
The Gallo Christians found
pleasing religious significance in
employing amo as root of names
given to their children. Amabilis
Qovable); Amator Qover); Lmata
Qoved); and Amandus (about to
be loved) are successive steps in
the evolution of Amanda. The
existence of St. Armand caused the
last named to survive and find pop

clined. Amanda was considered
