SERIOUS CASE
OF APPENDICITIS

Friends of Connie Schenkenberger
were much surprised to learn that he
had been taken suddenly and serious
ly i'll with appendicitis. His case was
SO serious that an immediate opera
ton was required and it was perform
ed at Mrs. Harris hospital this after
noon. DR.. DeWane, who performed
the operation says that the conditions
found upon operation were among
the most serious that ever came un-
der his observation, being what is
described as gangrenous appendix.
The appendix was enlarged to the
size of a mans finger, green and de-
composing. The condition of the pa
tlent at the time this is written is
described as good as could be hoped
Tor IN the circumstances, but that he
is IN a serious condition.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Schen-
kenberger drove out to his claim
south of the river and began doing
some work. At noon he felt quite
Ill n drove home. He continued TO
get worse that afternoon and night.
Previous to Wednesday he had felt
no symptoms of the attack. but saws
he had a mild attack of appendicitis
several years ago. Many friends wish
Connie a speedy recovery.

: By JESSIE +:
LIBRARIANS.

THE demand for the trained H.
l. brarian is on the increase. But
many young women are leaving the
regular library to take up allied work
that pays better.
The new demand outside of the reg
ular library from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature of all
sorts is part of their daily material,
and they see the need of a proper in
dexing for all this material, and for
making it available for immediate use
as the books in a library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as a lawyer or a doctor
with a large practice. Such men will
often have a whole library that is use
less unless properly indexed.
Many women who began as librar-
ians are now holding excellent posi-
lions, where their library training
proved the essential in their new
work.
AS the librarian can as yet look for
ward at best to hardly more than ST.
500 a year, the best trained and more
ambitious women are following the
commercial path.
But a librarians training is proving
to be excellent for other work. Many
girls do not stop at organizing special
Libraries for their new employers.
They go on to become heads of depart
ments, undertake the installing of bus
mess systems, of filing and cata-
loguing, and even run offices of their
own. (Copyright.)

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

How many things, both just and I'M
Just, are sanctioned by custom!-Terence.
TN DAYS long, long gone by the
L head of a large and important
family sat on a raised dais at meals,
with members of his immediate fam
lily and specially honored guests.
Others sat at a table on the floor OF
the ROOM, the least important guests
or retainers sitting at the greatest
distance from the host. Even in our
colonial days 1t was customary TO
have a huge salt cellar in the center
of the table and the older and more
important personages sat above the
salt cellar toward the host who sat
at the head of the table, while those
less important sat below that point.
With such an arrangement it was
possible to have almost the entire
>household-sav6 for those who were
serving the mea1-to sit at the same
time without embarrassment to any
one. Sometimes, in these days, en-
barrassing questions come up con-
corning the placing of members OF
ones household at the dinner table.

so employed. /.
Obviously 1t is not for the house
keeper to decide but for those who
employ her, and if she feels that
not to have meals with the family
is an act of disrespect to her why,
then, for her own peace of mind she
ought to find employment somewhere
else. In the homes of those who en-
ploy many servants the h~ousekeeper
would not dream of eating with the
family-on the contrary, her meals
would be served in her own sitting
room. Some governesses do not
usually eat at the family table un-
less their charges do, and in large
establishments children very often
have their meals served In the day
nursery. If they dine earlier than
their elders, then customarily the
governess does also. Usually trained
nurses employed in private homes
have meals with the family, but some
times it is customary for them to
eat after the family n this is some
times q matter Of convenience, as
some member will be free to take
the nurses place at the patients bed
side while she is eating. On ocean
liners nurses In uniform do not eat
at the first table, but have their
meals in the general dining room at
the hours appointed for children and
their nurses. OF course, some young
women resent this, feeling themselves
quite the social equals, possibly the
superiors, OF those who employ them,
but, If they have good sense, they
realize that they are suffering no real
indignity and that it is the truly
professional spirit to accept conol-
lions as they find them.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
'YANkEE."

HILE the genesis of the
w term Yankee" as applied
by the English to Americans in
general, by Southerners to those
residing In the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders,
is shrOuded in the miSts of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted of these, is that the
word is a corruption Of the
French Anglais or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days OF
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either of the word
"Anglais" or English" and 1t
is easy to see how this, in turn,
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Anc'iter explanation, a trife
more scholarly, is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
"Jankin," which was the diminu-
tive of Jan or John. One au-
thority goes so far as to declare
that "Jankin" was the generic
name applied to the English set
tiers of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York.
The first known use Of the
term in print occurred in a
poem entitled Oppression"
published in 1855, In which ap-
peared the line From meanness
first the Portsmouth Yankee
rose" The coupling of the
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to bear out the
contention that the term was
one applied principally to New
Englanders and therefore orig
inally Of Dutch origin.

OF course, there is more or less feel
ing In both the United States and
Japan. Viscount Uchida, foreign min
lister of Japan. has officially declared
that his government will stand firmly
on it's mandate over the North Pacific
islands, formerly owned by Germany.
1t seems to be the general opinion Of
the Japanese newspapers that "the
United States is In no position to In

the peace treaty and has not entered

1t Is not to be denied that the con-
| troversy over zap, in connection with
matters in China and Siberia, Is a
danger spot. But any talk Of war be-
tween the United States and Japan
over zap is mostly "yap."
The plain truth of the matter is
that 1t is probably impossible for
America and Japan to resort to war
with the hope Of decisive victory.

AS to Jap and scrap-that Is story
yet to be told.
Before the World war, you see, the
United States enjoyed direct cable
communication with China by waJ OF
zap, then a German possession. Dur
ing the war Japan diverted the cable
routes with the result that American
business and press dispatches must
now be sent by way of Manila.
On November 9, 1920, the United
States called the attention of the pow
ers to its understanding that zap was
not to be included In the mandate to
Japan, but was to be International
lied as cable station.
Yet In December, 1920, the council

north Pacific mandate, with zap In

Now the United States not only
holds invalid the disposition, without
its consent, of any of the territories
coded by the central empires to the
