ORIGIN OF "DICKENS NAMES"
Pursuit Long a Favorite Amusement
of the Admirers of Writer Of
Immortal Fiction.

One of the most interesting Of semi
literary hobbies is the search after
the origin Of Chickens names" It is
specially interesting, no doubt, because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular "solution'' is the
correct one, and, as consequence,
the long list Of potential discoveries
issseldOm reduced, much less exhaust
ed. One Of the latest STRIKES is a
possible origin for the old favorite,
"Chadband." A recent writer tells how,
few years ago, in one of the small
hamlets between Sutton and EPSON,
there stood small tailor's Shop bear
ing in large letters the name of "Chad-
band" And he goes on to wonder
whether Dickens, "going down by road
Dorking, noticed the name, and kept
it for future use,'' for on that route
he would have passed the very door
Of the shop. The writer seems to think
it highly likely; while, in. proof that
Dickens actually made the journey,
was it not in the town of Dorking
that there stood the Marquis of Gram
by? And was it not the hostess of
the Marquis of CRANKY who ultimate
ly became Mrs. Weller?- Christian

Beauty in Seaweed.

Contemplating seaweed, the curator
of this department in the New York
botanical gardens has made. a sug-,
gestion, timely with regard to the
present exhibition of specimens in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, that here
may be found many a charming sug-
gestion, hitherto unnoticed by artists,
-or the creation Of decorative, designs.
One is reminded of the passage in
which Ruskin tells how the, Greek
architect found a beautiful design in
the movement of ocean waves; and
wonders that Ruskin himself, with his
keen appreciation of art suggestions
!. In nature, did not deal with the varied
beauty of design discoverable in the
different seaweeds. Perhaps he did.
and one has forgotten it; at any rate
seaweed has not, it seems, yet sup
piled suggestion for the design of lace.
tapestries, prints, and architectural
ornament, and the idea adds material
for the work of designers

1Uncle Joe" cannon's Whitening Re-
buke OF Lobbyist Who Thought
to Make "Bluff" Good.

Joseph Guernsey Cannon, more af-
fectionately known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as
"Uncle Joe" is nearing his eighty
fourth birthday. He loves his fellow
man and is one of the most affable
members Of congress toward stran-
gers. But Uncle Joe hates ''boun-
ders'' and lobbyists and is still young
and vigorous enough to resent their
attempts at familiarity, says the Wash
ington Star.
For the benefit of couple of men
with legislative axes to grind whom
he was endeavoring to impress with
his own Importance around the capitol,
one of the well-known lobbyists held
up "Uncle Joe" near the cigar coun-
ter in the house restaurant. "Hello,
Uncle Joel" he exclaimed Haven't
seen you for some days. You sure are
looking fine. Won't you have cigar
with us-one of your old favorites?"
Then the cold, steady, steely look in
Uncle Joe's eyes gave him warning.
He tried to bluff it off.
"Why, Uncle Joe, you don't seem to
remember me"
But he reckoned without his host
you just can't bluff Uncle Joe. He has
played the great American indoor
game too long for that. With Shout
ders thrown back, arms stiffened at
his side, eyes piercing the presuming
acquaintance, he raised himself on his
toes, leaning closer and daringly to-
ward the face of the other, and said:
"No, don't remember you. Why, if
when you get to the pearly gates you
don't look more familiar to st. Peter
than you do now to me- he'll say to
you. Get to = out of here; I don't

HlR IDA KAHN URGES CHINESE
WOMEN TO WORK.

conference, are to take an active, part
tn promoting this health program for
women which will be the share of the
Y. w. G. A. in the big health move
ment in China
The funds for establishing these
health centers, for demonstrations of
how to care for babies, for health
lectures for the women, for babies dis
pensaries and for general educa-
tional campaign, will be raised by the
American Y. w. c. A. as part of it's
program of world service for women
and girls in 1920.
Or. Ida Kahn, in recent appeal to
modern Chinese women said, LET our
women of education in Picking and
elsewhere gather themselves together
to work for the schools, Red Cross and
Y. w. G. A., and everything else which
bespeaks the betterment of the coun
try, instead of staying at home to play
poker and sparrow and going out to
attend endless dinners, tea parties and
dances
Let US rally our forces and help the
ship of state to move safely One per.
son cannot accomplish much, but one
or two hundred millions of women can
work wonders. Let us go back to a
more Spartan-like simplicity of living
and let us build up social service until
every city in China is sanitary, every
section Of the town has it's proper
schools, and every, child, whether boy
or girl, is sent to such schools. True
social service brings democracy in its
train, and we who are citizens of a
new republic can help to make it truly
great by preaching and living democ-
racy all the time. Why not learn to
do our household duties, deeming it
effeminate to be waited upon by maids
and slave girls all the time?
1.-THE status Of women in China,
while leaving much to be desired, still
is quite hopeful when we consider
that she is just emerging into the sis
terhood of the nations Our men can
depend upon us to bear the burdens Of
the day, for nowhere is there more
industrious, diligent and persevering
womanhood than in China
DR.. Kahn is lecturing in this coun-
try on the needs of her fellow country
women, in the interests of the 7. w.
G. A. Educational Campaign which
plans to acquaint people with all
phases of 7. w. G. A. work in the
United States, South America, China,
Japan, India and Europe. This educa-
tional campaign will be followed by
an active effort to raise the $4,000, 600
needed for service for women through
out the world. st
