Many words in everyday use have
quite another meaning in remote cor

dirty or untidy place. and some rus
tics, when unwell, tell you that they

tion with tale that in Northumber-

Arctic Cold Misunderstood.

There is h great deal of misunder-
standing relative to the cold of the
Arctic regions. The absence or pres
ence of water and altitude are impor-
tant factors in determining tempera-
ture. AS the altitude increases going
North, the bite of the weather is less
ened so that there is little or no incon-

Mrs. Nelson stated that she had been en-
