think. however, that they should

Now ii the season when small boys are
drawn to swimming holes as by some natural
instinct
But swimming isn't natural, for humans.
Man Is the only animal which cannot swim
without being taught A few persons can swim
the nrst time they enter the water, but these
individuals are rare indeed.
Come savage peoples are accomplished
swimmers Doubtless swimming is ancient.
But In the history Of civilization there were
long periods when swimming was lost art.
Some ancient peoples reached high grade Of
civilization without realizing that swimming
was possible.
Cne was the Babylonians, year 1000 B. C.
They had law that If one person accused
another, the accused might undertake to prove
his Innocence by jumping into the river. II
he drowned, his accuser got his property. II
he escaped. he got his accuser's property and
the accuser was put to death. This was known
- trial by water"
In that day q Jump of the dock might we'll
be called the great adventure, not only for the
Jumper, but also for the one who inspired 1t.
Men chung to the notion of trial by ordeal
even after swimming became known. But then
It was necessary to reverse the test The one
who escaped was held guilty. The one the
ytrtu0us water received and held as its own
MAS considered innocent. In this fashion, trial
w water was practiced in Europe in A. D. 900.
That the innocent might survive to enjoy
his acquittal, q rope was tied to him before
no jumped. SO that at the final moment he might
be hauled out and revived
1t is doubtful il swimming was we'll un-
derstood even then. For an accomplished diver
might easily have proved himself innocent of
any charge by the water test.
No longer is 1t possible to win law suit

Sally Sue perched herself on the
stone wall under the lilac bush with
doll Harriet, where mother had
sent her to watch for the mailman.
And Sally Sue wondered how any
body could bear to sit in the house
and sew and talk and not laugh on
such beautiful spring day.
Voices drifted cut from the dining
room window over the new purple
balls on the tips OF the lilac stems
and Sally Sue couldn't help hear

very preplexing.

Marcella.

m8IC4l8s
A most popular French name
which has gained great vogue in
this country is Marcella. 1t is a
name with a distinguished origin
and history. 1t comes from ancient
Rome directly, though its earliest
origin is found in the Greek word
meaning soft or tender, yet by curl
GUS twist this word signifies "of
Mars" and hence should be regard
ed as a term denoting strength or
an iron-like quality.
In early Rome Marcus was a
name belonging to a noble gems of
Sabine origin which gave a king
to Rome and later named the high
spirited Marcus Coriolanus. The
daughters Of this gems were called
Marcia or Maria and later from
the same origin sprang Martina

this fall II the suffrage amendment
does not pass by that time? E. L. q.
A. In event OF the failure Of one
more state to ratify the suffrage
amendment in time to enfranchise
women generally, 17.500,000 women
may vote for president, neverthe-
less. There are about 100000
women in the United States Of vot-
ing age, which would leave $780,

@. Why do men in the navy
have to buy their uniforms while
enlisted men in the army do not?
I. ID. c.
A. The army and the navy are
separate and distinct departments.
The war department does furnish
all enlisted men with uniforms,
equipment. food and quarters dur
ing their term of enlistment. Com
missioned officers have to buy their
own uniforms. In the navy a man
Is given only $50 for his uniform
upon enlistment and he is required
to purchase what else he may need
during his enlistment. This does
not mean, however. that he re-
ceives less from the government.
because he Is paid more than a
man Of the same comparative rank
in the army, and. really ID the
gamer rather than the loser in the
end.

Partners.

The Stacker Of war times was despised.
Is he any more praiseworthy in time of
peace!
Suppose the garment maker says, Clothes
are dear and scarce. Good thing. Makes my
Job safe. Why work hard!
And the food man says, why grow two
fields OF potatoes instead Of one? Why lower
my own price? Take it easy. Play safe"
And the housing man says, THE boss is
making plenty. He doesn't pay for my loafng
anyhow. And I'm keeping my brother-worker
on the Job. So go SLOW
Sounds not so bad Ell?
Even sort OF altruism about it.
But wait.
II everybody Stacks 80 per cent, doesn't that
make everything twice as scarce other things
being equal!
And twice as dear?
Does 1t even stop at being twice or thrice
as dear, when the world bids against itself, in
time OF restricted supply?
Then comes the chance Of the profteer
There's Just one way to beat the profteer.
In Russia they tried to limit the profteer by
law.
Letter made law.
Law which aimed to deny private ownership.
Result?
Potatoes sell in the Moscow market at 300
| rnbles the pound eggs at 12o rubles each
Letter made law won't work
| Not against the law OF supply and demand.
| Unless you help to increase the supply,
you are partner Of the profteer.

She has cold feet and cold hands

Answer-The dope may be re-
sponsible for the baby's restless
ness or crying or whatever you i'm
agine is collie, and the poisonous
effect of the peppermint probably
accounts for the poor circulation.
The baby probably has as much
collie as her mother. has creeping
