The Congressional Picnickers.

How much the congressional party
now touring the Orient at the public
expense Is improving the congressional
mind, only future events will disclose.
II Is pretty certain. however, that in
Korea they are learning things.
In Korea they are learning that ia
pan is all powerful. They may have
known this before. but It is being i'm
pressed upon them. They have TO be
led around by Japanese police to pre-
vent them from committing indiscre-
tons and arousing the populace against
their japanese masters,
The Japanese police, though very ef-
ficient police, were unable entirely to
curb some OF our fiery congressman
That is easy 10 understand. Congress
man Hersman. OF California, decided
to speak to the young Koreans at the
Seoul Y. NJ. c. A., and speak he did,
provoking row that resulted In a
number of bloody heads for the young
Koreans.
Congressman Hersman is welcome "a
all the noble thoughts he entertains
about the destinies OF Korea and TO
all his noble ambition TO make the ko-
reans free, but he does not do them
any good by going there in person and
precipitatlng q row in which they are
sure to be the losers. Such a perform
ance is one OF the reasons our solons
did well in taking diplomacy out of
the hands OF the legislators.

of green, blue, yellow and red paints
under his paw.
He had not gone very far, on his
way back to Squeakie Eekie's house,
when, all of a sudden, it began to rain.
'Oh, / mustn't let Squeakie Eekie's
paints get wet" said Uncle Wiggily;;

So the bunny gentleman put the box
of paints under his tall silk hat, and he
put his hat on his head. Then, not

away he hoped.
Hum! l wonder what he means

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


Copyright 1920, by the Wheeler Syn
dictate. Inc.)
Alexandra is a famous name. 1t is
a feminine version of the title Of the H.
lustrious conqueror, Alexander the
Great. II was popular in all the coun-
tries through which the peerless Alex
ander swept, and for years after his
triumphant passage, all male, children
were called after his name. AleXandros
was a favorite name in Greece. The
Maccabean Jews used it, and mar
tyred pope made it revered name in
Italy.
The feminine was brought to Scotland
by Margaret Aetheling, who learned 1t
at the Hungarian court, where she was
born and reared. AleXa, Alexandra and
Alexandrna are several of lis forms
AleXia Is often found as woman's
name in old records and accounts of
the middle ages.
Alexandra is widely popular in Ger
many and Russia, as well as in the
other continental nations. 1t has sell
dom had much vogue in England eX-
cept as feminine given to perpetuate
the masculine Alexander where there
have not been sons to carry on the
title. But curiously enough. it is a
favorite in this country.
The splendid ruby Is Alexandra s
talismanic gem. 1t is fitting that this
emblem Of courage and accomplishment
and bodily vlgor should be her stone.

lucky number.
