BETTER SPEECH WEEK

This week is the third observance
thruout the nation OF Better Speech
week. This movement is an attempt
to improve the language of the
American people. 1t is sponsored
and directed by such organizations
as the National Council of Teachers
OF English, General Federation Of
Women's clubs, American Academy
of Arts and Literature, and the So
ciety Of Pure English.
The Blackfoot high school stud
ents are making special efforts to
make this week as effective as pos
sible, and we are hoping that every
individual will help boost this good
cause along.
II you will take time to notice the
posters in the windows of the diff
ferent business houses, you will see
that we have some real talent in our
B. H. S. The students have also
been giving some original dramas
which is great help.
This movement is highly approved
OF by the leading men of our country
and should be recognized by all
loyal Americans.

GOT ITS NAME FROM STREAM
How New Works Famous "Maiden
Lane" Received Nomenclature
That Is World Famous.

Maiden lane, the home of the jew.
elry and diamond business in New
York, and known over the world fol-
that fact, received it's name before It
was street. 1t took it from a very
pretty little stream that ran across
that part Of the city. It was the Gus
tom in that day, before the time of
wringers and washing machines, for
the young women to do the family
washing.
The clothes were carried here and
the day spent in cleansing them in
what is described as ripping brook.
Some Of the men who have dug into
New 'York's early history profess to
have discovered that it was also q
place where the young men Of the
time repaired, being pretty certain Of
getting chance to talk with the girls.
The stream was outside the city as
1t existed at that time, most of it be-
ing behind the big wooden wall that
Peter Stuyvesant had built, so that
in order to get to Maiden lane 1t was
necessary to 60 out through the gate
with the family wash. There is moth
ing to show that Monday was then
the popular washday with families, as
1t Is now and was later. But 1t is
likely the Dutch began to get things
to rights early in the week, and it
probably was Monday that saw the
greatest gathering of maidens along /
.he little stream, washing and rinsing
,lothes.

How We Got Word "Eluke.n

The word 'sfuke" traces its direct
ancestry to the Anglo-Saxon word
"foc," which is first cousin to the
Icelandic "floki." There are several
kinds Of flukes. There is the fish
commonly designated in hich priced
restaurants as "filet Of sole" There
is the broad portion of an anchor,
the part that does the business Of
digging into the mud and holding the
boat. And there is the happy chance
by which a player wins game.
There is SO strong a resemblance in
shape between the business end of an
anchor and the fish called fiuke that
the application Of the word to the
anchor is perfectly logical.
There is also SO strong a resem-
blance between the awkwardness Of
the fish called fuke and the awk-
wardness of a player who makes
billiard shot by an accident, that such
shot can quite appropriately be de-
scribed as a "fluke." Milwaukee

awakened, the chief and his daugh-
ter had gone. Sorrowfully he set
out insearch of his wife. He travelled
to her fathers tribe, and there at
last he found her. But she was in
a canoe with her father, far out upon
the lake.
Then the Wind cried, Come to
me, my loved one" and his voice
swept out over the water.
The chief said, 1.-THE winds are
blowing" but his daughter knew her
husbands voice. She could not see
him, for he was still invisible, but
she lifted herself up in the canoe and
stretched out her hands toward the
shore. As she did so q breeze stirred
the water, and the canoe Overturned.
The chiefs daughter threw up her
arms and the Wind tried to catch her
in his embrace, but he was too late.
The Great Spirit bore her far up into
the sky, and there he gave her q
home. where she would live forever
in the lodge Of the moon.
The great chief was drowned in
the waters of the lake.
Night after night his daughter
looks down upon the earth, hoping
for sight Of her lost lover. But
though the Wind still roams about
the earth in search of his bride, he
has never, since the chiefs blow fell
upon his head, had the power to be-
come visible to men.
And now you will understand why
the voice of the Wind is so mournful |
as it walls about the wigwam; and |
why the moon maiden's pale face is |
always turned downward toward the
earth. Indian Myths by Julia OAR

INV
( DEATH VALLEY vOYAGERS
HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.
Death valley has a reputation
for destroying the hopes Of man
largely because man is by ma
ture q selfish being, according
to John Stanton Of Boise City,
Okla, who claims that most Of
the human beings who perish in
that arid tract Of territory owe
Their destruction to the individ-
nails who 60 before them.
'"Death valley presents a pic
ture Of the two sides Of human
nature" said Mr.. Stanton. ut
shows on one side the good, the
Z beautiful and the true, while on
the other hand 1t depicts the
most despicable trait in human
ity-selfshness. For instance,
one OF the reasons why most Of
the voyagers in Death valley
come to grief is because they
cannot find water holes. There
are men who know where these
water holes are-men who have
discovered them and men who
erect signs to point the way to !
them. But after these real hui
man beings have gone to all the
trouble Of erecting the signs,
putting directions on them as
best they can, the selfish trav-
elers come along and, needing
the signs for firewood, destroy
them.
"Just for the satisfaction Of
moment. the utility that
comes from a kindling fire
which could be built with lit.
tie more effort if the parties !
were to search for the firewood !
without using the guideposts, !
some people jeopardize the lives /
Of those who follow them. (
That is the story of Death valley. {
The place has many tragedies to {
its record, but one-half IL not (
more Of them could have been I
ayerted If human naturn had !
kept itself in control; if selfish I
ness were not such q strong I
trait. Death valley isn't half !
so dangerous to mankind as
these men,"
