HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES
BY Them 1t Is Possible to Ascertain
What Races Have Inhabited
Different Districts.


In the earliest days of the human
family, all known persons, places ana
groups of human beings must have
had names by which they were recog-
niZed.
The study Of these names and their
survival in civilization enables us Of
ten to ascertain what races inhabited
districts now peOpled by those of en-
tirely different speech.
The names Of mountains and rivers
in many parts of England, for in
stance, are Celtic.
Ancient local names are, as a rule.
purely descriptive. A river is called
by some word which merely signifies
1.-The water" a mountain may have
a name which means "the peak" "the
CASTLE" "the point"
English place names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
no more than property; the name OF
a town or hamlet being formed by
adding "ton" or "ham" to the name
Of some early landholder.
Quite often a bit of even half-hu-
mOrous description will survive in
such a name, as when a stony, starved
and weedy district is called Starvacre

Great Soldiers Monuments.

Greatest of all monuments of En-
perOr Napoleon are the two arches
of triumph, L'Arc de TriOmphe and
L'Arc du Carrousel, both of which
were erected by the devoted Parisians
that all the world might know the
military supremacy which was theirs
under Napoleon. Equal to these in i'm
portance is the tomb of the emperor,
Les Invalides, which he decided
should be a home for aged and dis
abled soldiers, but which the Parisians
turned into a great museum to house
countless trophies Of his wars and
articles Of his personal equipment, as
well as the body Of the national hero,
who wished to be buried on the banks
of the Seine amidst his beloved
children"

Partisan Mementoes of Napoleon.

The statue of Henri of Navarro on
the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in
Paris, is a mementO of Napoleon, for
it was cast from the bronze of the EN-,
peror's statue which was torn from
the top of the VendOme column in
1914. This column was erected to
honor the victories of the great sol,
der, his martial deeds being depicted
in a spiral strip which covers the sur.
face of the pillar. His figure, in the
robes of a Roman emperor, has since
been placed at the top. The Exchange
bridge was erected by Napoleon and
still bears his monogram, the arches
The famous colonnades Of the Louvre
district are his work. He designed
them in memory of his native Corsica
where that type of architecture is
common.

LIVE APART FROM THE WORLD
People of Northern Korea as Ignorant
as Were Their Ancestors Thou
sands of Years Auo.

Many of the natives in the north
Of Korea have never seen a white
man. A bulletin of the National Geo.
graphic society says that they are liv.
ing among the hills today much as did
their ancestors centuries ago, wOr-
Shipping mythical gods in the rocks and
trees on every mOuntaintOp, keeping
their women in semi-slavery, and dy-
ing in ignorance of the world beyond
their narrow confines. After the Rus
so-Japanese war of 1904 the country
was opened to foreigners, and the ex-
ploration of the northern part pro-
crossed by leaps and bounds, until
the only extensive unknown area lay
along the north central boundary, be-
tween the Tumen and Yalu rivers.
F,fThe old walls of the ancient city of
Musan bear five centuries of history.
Few white men have wandered inland
to the gates Of this city, and except
for a few stragglers it lies unknown
to the western world. The great CEN
trail palace or reception hall, remains
intact, and close by, in palatial ruins,
is the temple guest-house. The small
er public buildings, the gates, tho
watch towers and, most of all, the
walls themselves, have their own Pc
culiar fascination, telling their own
story or adding a chapter to that of its
neighbor.
- The Koreans believe the. blood of a
deer or any wild animal, Il drunk
when warm, to be a splendid tonic.
Tigers claws, whiskers, bones and
teeth are especially valuable, and prep
arations made from these materials
were often given to soldiers before a
battle or any especially hazardous en-
terprise, since they were believed to
induce great bravery.

Diamond Thieves Easily Detected.

Diamond stealing in the South At
frican mines is becoming precariOus
business. The blacks still swallow
them or hide them in self-inflicted
wounds, but these methods no longer
suffice Coolidge X-ray tubes are so
mounted in a frame as to illuminate
the whole body of the stripped native
standing before them. The entire body
Of the hundreds Of miners can thus be
brought into view in the Horoscope in
a few seconds, and any diamond pres
ent, even if behind thick bones, is
quickly detected. The glow of the dia-
mond under the X-rays, as well as its
dense oBaqueness, aids in detection,
1t is said.

Etiquette At Fin TABLE
Guest Would Do Well to FamiIiarIze
Himself With the Rules, Which
Are Exceedingly Strict.

If ever you go to Fiji and are asked
to attend a public dinner, pray be very
careful how you behave or it may cost
you your life, is the injunction of a
writer in London Answers. A public
dinner in Fiji is a grand affair, and
all the guests give a hand in feeding
the oven or stirring the pot, A floor
of clean leaves is covered with COCO
nuts, on which are heaped baked tarO
and yams-like a large pOtatO-tO the
amount of several tons. The next tier
comprises a well oiled pudding in
green leaves" called "vakalolo." Baked
turtles are next heaped on top of these
buildings or two or three hogs baked
whole.
At one public dinner in Fiji there
were fifty tons Of vans, fifteen tons of
yakalOlo buildings, seventy turtles, five
carloads Of yagOna and 200 tons of Un-
cooked yams.
A chief, having eaten a cOcOnut
without offering a piece to one Of his
followers, the latter went over to the
enemy and singled out his former mas
ter in their next battle. Asking for
mercy, the stern reply was, Don't you
recOllect the nut at the last public din
ner? For that you die"
Another chief once sat with his ia
ther-in-law and on passing a dish of
cooked fish, he broke off a bit Of its
tail. A dark scowl covered the rela-
tive's face, and before many hours
were passed, he slew his sOn-in-law,
having first intimated that he was in
suited by being offered a broken tail.

turn to early autumn, to cool days and
to new clothes. -
1t is my hope that this comment on
the smart woman may help you to de-
termine upon plans for autumn outfits
that will help you to demonstrate to
yourself and to the world that you are
a. smart woman in every sense Of the
word. .......
We can help settle. the more quickly,

peace and prosperity of our country?
And remember, there are always to
be found bargains, so to speak, that are
real, that are genuine. but the smart
woman will decide and decide quickly
whether or not those marked down or
reasonably priced articles are really
bargains for her.
Ask yourself these questions before
you buy bargain: Does the garment,
the article, really suit you? Will it fully
serve your purpose? And last but W no
means least, Do you really need sit?t

CAiART women, the inteilisently smart
- and those who dress smartly, never
buy cheap clothing.
But before we discuss why, let's
quality this statement by an explana-
tien.
Our use of the English language Is
such that the word smart" like many
other words. is often used to express
widely different thoughts. -
Women who are intelligent, alert, re-
sourceful, clever, thrifty, initiative and
eaergetic are called smart, the while we
speak o. the fashionable, we'll dressed,
well .gowned woman as smart.
A woman may possess the knack Of
leoking smart ana well dressed with
The Washington herald., 1920-07-04

rect design is less and less in evidence.
Even in the most moderately priced ap
parei today you will find good lines,
pleasing designs and materials and
colors that in their newness are de =
ceptive.
And here is where SO many women
fail to be smart. They look no further
tnan the surface; some one thing about
hat, a dress, a suit, a coat attracts
their attention-the color, the trimming
the buttons-or the design-and they
buy, thoughtless of the more important
qualities that make a garment pre-
sentable after the first few wearings
Of it. =
And this thought extends into all
prices of clothing, for it is not alone
the cheap in price that is always a bad
purchase for the woman who would be
smart and smartly dressed.
There are undoubtedly reasonably
priced clothes that are smart and IL is
equally true that there are exceedingly
high priced clothing that is anything
but good buy" no matter how smart
1t may appear.
