In his speech to Ohio Grand Army men and delegations from Kentucky and Tennessee, on September 20, Senator Harding said in part:
 Have you ever stopped to think that we, one people with naturally one interest, were led into the civil war by mere ambiguity in the federal constitution? In the be- ginning we were so divided in our ideas that there was of necessity uncertainty left in the compact that was made, and it required the civil war to wipe it out. And that was a very great price to pay But re- membering that, my countrymen. I want to ask you, knowing the cost or Wiping out the ambiguity in the constitution of our own republic now can we ever consent to enter into new world compact with a dozen antiquities in it?

RELIEF ASKED FOR SCHOOLS.


 The teacher shortage remains a menace to the public schools, accord ing to preliminary reports made pub lie today by the National Education association. Replies to question naires sent out by the association have come from all sections of the United States. These reports show that in places where teachers sal aries have been increased one hun dred per cent or more the situation is nearly always satisfactory. But such places are comparatively few, and in localities where salaries have been increased fifty per cent or less the teacher shortage is commonly greater than year ago. Rural com munities are hardest hit. Signed reports from superintendents of counties indicate that third of their rural schools cannot open for want of teachers. Tens of thousands of schools will be in charge of teach CTS who have had no professional training and whose academic pre- paration barely exceeds that of the children they teach.
 Relief from this situation, which imperils the stability of American rural life will be sought from the next session of congress. Renewed efforts will be made to obtain the passage of the Smith-TOwner bill, which creates a department of edu- cation with a secretary in the presi- dents cabinet and provides federal aid of $1O0,O0OOOO for education
 The situation in Alaska is not so serious as in the nation at large. There is but one school which is closed for lack of teacher. Trans portation difficulties rather than in ability to secure a competent teach CT is the occasion for this, however The salaries of teachers in Alaska have been raised from fifteen to fifty per cent during the past two years, salaries paid in the territory now being no higher than in the average town in the northern or western states.

What S in a aName?
By Mildred Marshall. .
DELLA.

Della is a name of curiously con-
tiicting history. There are several
origins from which she might have
sprung. In England, she appears
most frequently as a convenient con-
traction for the dignity OF Cordelia.
The truly Irish flavor of Bedelia and
the popularity of Della in that coun-
Try might give rise to the contention
that the latter name is the diminu-
tive OF the old song-favorite.
But Della. according to the best
genealogical authorities, is a sep
arate and Independent name which
has Its source in no less an exalted
realm than the mythology of ancient
greece. 1t was Artemis or Diana,
the moon goddess, who. being born
al Delos. caused the place of her ma
tivity to be immortalized in Greek
NEUROLOGICAL history.
In honor of the goddess, the femI-
nine name of Della was evolved from
Delos and sprang to instant fame
IN Arcadian poetry. Lovely shep,
herdesses who figure in those an
clent pastorals, bore the name and
1t reached England by the literary
route. The sound Of IT was good to
Irish ears and it was straiChtway
adopted by that country.
Since Artemis was the moon god
dess. 1t is fitting that Delia's tails
manic gem should be the moonstone,
1t Will bring its wearer good for
tune. and will prove an exceptional
ly lucky jewel If it is a gift from a
sweetheart. 1t is said that lovers
can read the future by looking into
Its depths when the moon is full.

hoped on over the fields and
through the woods. looking for a
silk worm. But he could not find
any. and pretty soon he met Little
Miss Muffet
DO you know where there is a
silk worm, Miss Muffet?" asked
Uncle WiggiIy, politely.
NO. but l know where there is
spider and I'll let you sit down
beside her." spoke the little girl.
Listen, Uncle Wiggily. spider
weaves silk almost like a silk
worm, and you could get Susie a
dress of beautiful cobwebs"
So she led him to the spider. ans
Uncle Wiggily sat down beside her,
and he told her everything.
-Of course We can spin a dress
for Susie" said the kind spider
lady. I'll call in about ten thou
sand of my friends and we'll weave
some cobweb silk which you may
take home to Susie and have made
into a Dress
"Oh, thank you" exclaimed the
bunny. Then all the spider ladies
began making silk, on loom
formed of branches of a tree, and
soon they had spun twenty yards
of the finest Cobweb you can i'm
agine.
81 wonder IL Susie will like 1t
that gray color?" spoke Uncle
Wiggily. doubtfully.
I'VE can easily color IL for you,"
said the Miss Muffet spider lady.
So she and her friends dipped the
cobweb silk down in the petals of
roses. violets, pansies and other
flowers and soon the silk was COL
ored like the rainbow.
'Oh, Susie will love that, when I
take it to her! Thank you so
much" cried Uncle Wiggily.
Not so fast! I'll take a little
souse if you please" and there was
the bad old Bazumpus.
Come, my friends, We must
save Uncle Wiggily and Susie's
dress! Spin a lot of our strongest
cobwebs around the Bazumpus and
hold him fast"
Don't you darer' shouted the
Bazumpus. But the spiders were
not afraid of him. So they spun
webs around him. fastening him to
a tree so he couldn't get loose. And
Uncle Wiggily hurried away with
Susle's rainbow colored cobweb
dress, and the little rabbit girl was
so happy that she tapped her ears
and kissed the bunny uncle three
times.
And IL the pussy cat doesn't
tickle the legs of the kitchen table,
and make it spill the molasses all
over the apple pie, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and Jimmie's
Judy show.
