TATTO0ING AS A FINE ART
II Reached Its Highest Development In
the Marquesas Islands of the
South Seas.

Tattoolng Is an art so old that its
origin Is lost to historical records,
having been practiced when the cave
men went out to club their fellows.
In the Marquesas islands, the most
distant and most mysterious of South
sea archlpelagos, tattOoing reached its
highest development and there 1t was
the most beautiful form Of art known.
For a man in the Marquesas to lack
the tattoed stars of terror upon his
face and to have a bare countenance
upon his face was to be pOltroon and
despised by the whole tribe. Frederick
O'Brien says in the Century that to
achieve fairly complete picture on
ones body meant many months of in
tense suffering and the expenditure
of much wealth.
When white men were cast by ship
wreck in the islands of the far Pact
fic or fled from duty on whalers o.
warships and sought to stay among the
Marquesans they acceded to the hon
ored customs of their hosts and adopt
ed their facial adornment. Once the
curious ink of the tsttooer has gotten
into the skin it is there forever and
can never be erased, like the pits of
smallpox. The white men, therefore,
of Europe and America never again
returned to their old homes after set
ting among these Marquesans and
having their faces tattQoed.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
FIRE, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people Red Cross relief is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80
there was an average of four disasters
a month In the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered The.
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1000 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.
600 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $100,000000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of sup
plies, 40 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set I'D ten relief stations operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
end twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will he right on
hand to help them in every way.

ANCIENT AND MODERN NAMES
Writer Contends That Present-Day
Applications Lack the Euphony
of the Olden Times.

Speaking of New England names,
the genealogical columns of the Tran
script are indeed a standing proof
that the seventeenth and eighteenth
century names possessed much more
Of snap, flavor and euphony than our
twentieth century names possess.
Pick up the genealogical depart
ment at random-any day-and you
will find such fine and resonant names
as Betsey Reyes, Patty Holbrook, Su-
sauna Gates Polly Arnold, Darius
Dewey. Prudence Rand, Thankful
Sawyer, Thankful Newcomb, Hannah
Pike, Deborah Clark, and Jonathan
Rich-all of which are from one re-
cent column. It is true that the same
column contains names which are not
exactly euphonious, and are indeed
rather hard nuts to crack; these, for
example: Leafy Bullard-a woman;
whence the name of Leafy-Hatsel
Higgins, Sparrow Higgins, Abigail
Nash, Zeruiah Jewel, and Alley Lock-
wood. In the previous number of the
same department are found the names
Content Brown. Tabitha Holdredge,
and Keturah Bassett.

old book the name of Camilla Scud-

Recounting for the first time the i'm

that while a Chicago grand jury was
considering the governments evidence,
Robert j. Burns, vice e-president of Arr

for the settlement after he had in
formed the packers that if they de-
sired to come with the idea of sur
rendering to the government and would
state how for they were willing to go
in complying with certain requirements
by the government. he would be willing
TO meet their representative.
In the settlement that resulted, he
said. the packers agred to accept q
court decree perpetually enjoining
them from monopolistic or other un-
lawful trade practices. from engaging
in the wholesale grocery and other
businesses. not directly in their line,
and from control of stock yards and
stock yard terminal railroads. The gov
ernment had not insisted that they re-
linquish poultry, eggs and cheese dis

was economic advantage in their sys-
tenn of handling these products in re-
frigeration along with meat products.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Compulsory
consolidation of the railroads into i
few great corporations before they re-
turn 10 private control. with the public
and labor. well as capital. repre-
sented in the management of the sys-
TENS, was advocated tonight by Direc-
tor General Hines in an address be-
fore the New York City Bar associa-
ton.
Without this fundamental recon
struction," Mr.. Hines declared, the re
suit will be progressively disappoint-
ing and in few years the dissatisfac-
lion of the public will manifest itself
through an insistent demand for a
radically different plan which is not
likely to stop short OF outright gov
ernment ownership"
Old System Is Failure
Pointing out the almost impossible
situation" of the railroads prior TO
federal control. owing TO the diff
Guilty of financing the lines. Mr. Hines
said that our past experience has
demonstrated that the old system will
not succeed" He advocated the fixing
by congress of general standard of
rates to allow earnings clearly in eX-
cess of a reasonable return" which
must go largely TO providing adequate
reserves to take care of years of de-
preston and at the same time enough
Of the excess must be left with the
stimulus for efficiency.
We make grave mistake in as
suming that the representatives of
capital can alone manage the situa-
ton" Mr.. Hines said. The scheme of
the past has been on that false theory
and the result has been that the public
has injected itself into the manage
ment through all sorts of agencies and
labor has infected itself into the man
agement through its own organiza-
tions.
No Common Ground
We have all three interests par
ticipating in the management in all
sorts of ways and yet there is no COM
mon ground on which these three eIe-
mentS can meet and exchange views
and endeavor to reach conclusions. I
believe the only sort of management
which can be permanently effective is
one which provides for an orderly par
ticipation at the outset of all three of
these interests instead of the past
scheme, which leaves each interest to
pursue its own methods irrespective

NERVY BURGLAR MAKES
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

DOUGLAS. Ariz-. Jan. An un
known man, after stealing jewelry and
silverware valued at $500 at the home
of 0. K. Clinton in this city today,
held Mrs w. T. Cardwell, daughter
of Mr.. Clinton, at the point of a pis
tol while he made good his escape. A
fire, previously set by the man in the
clothes closet of an adjoining room
diverted attention and he got away
from the scene apparently without
anyone obtaining description of him
or learning his nationality. Mrs.
CardweT, who was taking a nap in a
darkened room. arose when the noise
made by the intruder awakened her.
The man covered her with a pistol
and without a word, backed out of the
room. Mrs. Cardwell became so ex
cited when she discovered the fire that
she neglected to give an alarm about
the burglar. The fire destroyed more
than $4,000 worth of wearing apparel.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE peace
treaty as a campaign issue loomed
conspicuously on the political horizon
today as democratic leaders gathered
for the quadrennial meeting of the
democratic national committee laid
preliminary plans for the presidential
contest.
Already overshadowing the fight for
the national convention which appar-
emily has narrowed TO Kansas City
and San Francisco discussion of the
treaty got an additional impetus when
it became known that tomorrow the
committee would be asked by its Of
ficers to formally put itself squarely
behind President Wilson in his stand
in the treaty controversy.
a resolution making such a recon-
mendation was prepared for preSnta-
ton and Chairman Cummings pre-
dicted that it would be adopted. 1t is
understood TO be an Endorsement of
the presidents course. without declar-
ing specifically for unreserved rafifica-
ton, but Mr.. Cummings said the in
tentfon was to make it's language so
plain that there would be no doubt
that the party stood behind the presi-
dent"
Bryan To Oppose Move
The announcement stirred un end
less speculation when it was coupled
with unverified reports that William
J. Bryan, would advocate a different
course in his speech at the Jackson
Day banquet tomorrow night. No one
profe ssed to know Mr.. Bryan's inten-
tions. but many committeeman were
turning over in their minds various
stories quoting him as advocating
ratification with any compromise that
could be secured
Involved in the possibilities of this
situat ton was another unknown guam
tity-the message which President
Wilson is to send to the banquet. 1t
generally has been assumed that he
will touch on the treaty. but there has
been no information as to how far he
may go or whether he will urge that
ratification be made an active issue
in the campaign. Occupied with these
reflections, the committee members
apparently have given little attention
to the subject of possible candidates.
several of whom will pronounce their
views on public questions at tomorrow
nights banquet. On this subject also
there has been hesitancy because of
over the intentions of Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Bryan. Some COM
r1littee members believe that a more
positive declaration by both may come
to light tomorrow.
