KATE is COMFORTING.

Alison's satiric remark, suggesting
a selected list Of friends, was her
parting shot.
with a brier and rather cool adieu
to Jane and no message to her alb

Her anger cooled AS she wen. down

about people you can't get on with,
is to leave them alone. I'll never
go again unless Larry is with me.
They won't dare criticize me before
him"
"Whither away and why SO frown-
ipg?" called a gay voice.
Z Alison turned to see Kate Gibson
coming down a side street. She
waved her parasol in greeting to
Alison and caught UP with her in
few steps.

Alison drew a little, relieved sigh
"Oh. of course. everything will be
delightful then"
Long afterwsrd she recalled that
sanguine statement with cynical

The Head Nurse
Says.
ALBUMEN PRESENT

In all cases Of illness the physi-
clan by series Of tests determines
what Is the matter. Specifically he
decides the condition of the digestive
tract by looking at the tongue; the
condition of the heart by feeling
the pulse and when the symptoms
are more obscure a urinary analysis
is made.
There are two substances the
presence of which in the urine in
dicate serious functional derange-
ment. These are albumen and
sugar. When the report comes back
from the laboratory marked "albu-
men present" it means shoals ahead
in the shape Of Bright's disease or
a lesser trouble. 1t indicates that
the proteids (meHts. etCD are being
improperly assimilated and that
there is something wrong with the
organs concerned in the production
Of urea, viz. the liver and kidneys
One of the first things the doc
tors do is to cut down the allow
anCe of meat and still give food
enough to maintain life while fur
nishing a minimum amount OF al
luminous waste. Such a food is
nUria where the structure of the
kidney Is not largely involved, a
purely milk diet will be found to
encourage the flow of urine and
the formation of normal urinary
products while giving the diseased
kidney as little work to do as pos
sible. when aIbumen is no longer
present the patient may gradually
return to a mixed dict, always being
careful to watch for any return to
the old symptoms.
The test for albumen is one of
the simplest. and the home nurse
can easily keep informed of her
patients progress. Take glass
test tube, which can be purchased
at any drug store. fill with urine
and heat over a flame. If aIbumen
is present it will coagulate and re-
main undissOlved upon adding acetic
acid

DISPUTES LAUDATION
OF D. c. TEACHERS PAY

Commenting on the disagreement
of local educators with the recently
published statement of the L. s
Bureau Of Education that high
school principals of the District Of
Columbia are better paid than Sin
any State of the country. Miss Helen
+. Randolph. in charge of the pub
liCity division of the bureau, said
yesterday:
In arriving at figures for the
District of Columbia, as published
in our recent news bulletin dealing
with high schools in the United
States. the comparison made was
with other States, not With cities.
we feel that the system of edu-
cation of the District of Columbia
cannot be compared with other
cities because the District is in no
sense a municipality.
1T is true that the District of
Columbia leads any State in the
Union in the average salary paid
high school principals. High school
principals of the District of Column
bia. California. Arizona. Massachu-
setts and New York receive the
highest salaries in the order
named
According to figures just given
out by the bureau one tenth of all
the people in the United States are
now receiving the benefits of a high
school education, but only ~ per
cent of those entering tffe first
grade complete the high school
course. More than one-fourth Of

Jobs for All Tbis Winter,

There will be jobs for all this
winter. John 3 Densmore, director
of the Department of Labor en-
plOyment service. predicted yes
terday.
DensmOre's statements were made
in face of reports to the Federal
Reserve Board that unemployment
was particularly severe" in the
Cleveland district where 10000
Akron workers were out of jobs and
that in the Maine canning district
$4,000 were unemployed.
There is a certain floating unem-
plOyment' among workers who quit
their jobs to find better ones, said
DenSmOre.
The prevalence of this intelli-

of our prosperity" he added. With

What S in a Name?
RITA.
By Mildred Marshall

Rita is one Of the countless names
derived from the popular Margaret.
Its brevity, charm and peculiar fit
ness to be applied to a certain tvDe
Of girl has made 1t sufficiently i'm
portant to be ranked as a seDarate
and individual name. Indeed. It's
connection with Margaret is rarely
recognized and it is given in bap-
tIsm without thought or reference
to its illUstriOus origin
Rita is Italian in its derivation.
When Italy accepted the pearl
name which has penetrated every
European and some Asiatic coun
tries she changed ii to Margherita.
Ghita, was one Of the ContractiOns
formed from the longer name and
Rita was soon Forthcoming. The
latter has proved more popular
than Ghita which is too Italian
for vogue outside Of that country.
Rita however. was soon trans
ported from Italy into the other
European countries. France uses it
today and it is as common in Eng
land as Margaret or Marguerite
The same is true Of this country.
Even Finland has a Reta, though
it rejects all other forms of Mar
garet
The pearl is. of course. Rftas
talismanic gem. 1t is believed to
bring her admiration. friends and
lovers. Monday is her lucky day
and her lucky number.

Insight Into Bigger World
Which Lies Outside Our
Own Home Town." Says
Adrienne Morrison.

81 do not think that any player
ever really gets over the lure Of the
road. meaning by that the company
which goes on tour through the
land" said Adrienne Morrison, who
will play leading roles with her hus-
band, Richard Bennett, in For the
Defense" and Beyond the Horizon"
the two plays to be presented at the
Shubert-GarriCk Theater next week.
"Of course" continued Miss Morri-
son, I'VE want our home life, too,
and in that respect are like the chill
drcn who wish to eat the cake and
keep it.
81 am glad that Mr.. Bennett is in
such a position that he does not
often have to go on tour. AS you
know, we have our home and our
dear children, and we just want TO
get all the happiness from them that
we can have. But at the same time
it is good to be on tour now and
then. 1t seems to revive one-to
give one an insight into the bigger
world which is outside our cities.
The dweller in he city is so apt
to be convinced after a time that
there is no other place outside that
desert of brick and stone. As a
matter of fact. the biggest and most
important part of our country is
outside the cities. There, for the
most part, we find just hordes of
clerks. big and little, recording in
figures what the rest of the country
is accomplishing. And your capital
ist and bank president is no less a
clerk in this respect than the under
est of under clerks.
Almost my first memories are
those of being on tour. With my
father, Louis Morrison. visited
every city and town in the country.
And many places which were just
towns then have since grown to
great cities. OF course. there were
hardships in the life. but without
some haTdships to make US realize

Here is an administration in power
