"What'S in a Name?" By MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; Its history; mean ing; whence it was derived; significance;
 your lucky day and lucky jewel.
MARIE

MARIE Is perhaps the most preva- M lent feminine name known to etymologists. It's synonym, Mary, has almost equal vogue, and Maria, it's other equivalent, is enormously popu- lar, But though Marie is originally the French version of the name of the Blessed Virgin, all countries have adopted her and called her their own. Originally, of course, the Hebrew word marah, meaning bitter, is the root from which all derivatives of Mary are evolved.
 Quite early in history, it became customary to give the name of Marie to girls, adding a middle name to qualify the attributes of the first Mary. the Blessed Virgin herself. In this way, several daughters of a family could be called by the name of Marie or Maria and yet they could be dis tinguished by their second appellation. The earliest of these names was that of Maria Annunziata, very popular In Spain, and later changed to Maria An nonciada In France, one of the most
 
 popular feminine names was Marie Annonciade; another was Marie As sunta. France also had Marie des Anges Marie of the angels) and in Spain, the votaress of the merciful interceding patroness (the Blessed Vir- gin) is Maria de Mercedes.
 Marie de Dolores (Marie of SOr- Iows) and Marie del Incarnacion are other examples of the popular trend which helped to spread the name of Marie. Many young ladies in Spain are still christened Maria de Ia Con- cepcion, but in Italy, this is contracted to the one word Concetta. England and America use Marie alone and also favor Molly, the diminutive and en- dearment. Indeed, in England, Molly is frequently given in baptism as a proper name with no reference to it's more dignif1ed parent.
 Marie's talismanic stone is jasper, the deep green gem which is proof against evil spirits and bites of ven omous creatures. If placed upon a snake bite, it Is said to draw the poison from the wound. It will also bring rain if prayers are made While wearing the stone Friday is Marie's lucky day and one her lucky number

SHE TOOK THE QUEENS MEAT
Culinary Expert Tells How Victoria of Great Britain Was Delight
 fully Deceived.

New York.-"Queen Victoria loved her mutton chops" said the queens ex-cook, Mrs. Mary A. Wilson, at the Brooklyn food show.
 "The doctors had terrible time making her cut down the amount of meat she ate. Her chef, under the orders of the doctors, would serve her a thin slice of chop or steak and then he'd get fired. When 1 went to be her private chef cooked her great, thick chop just the way she liked 1t. Then I scraped the meat out of the inside and stuffed it with savory herbs.
 "She was delighted with this new way of serving her chop and while she gazed on it with satisfaction and ate it with enjoyment she never realized that l had stolen half her meat"

She lost no time about it, and it was well we were prepared, for about an hour later the whole lighthouse lurched over on its side completely torn from its rocky founda- tions."
 "Oh! Did you get hurt?' asked Nancy, breathlessly.
 Not the least bit" Uncle Ben re- assured her. "Only shaken up a lit and sweaters which hung on the wall. Things were sliding around every where, but my lantern was still lit and crawled on my hands and knees to the door and opened It. It nearly blew me across the room, but 1 could see that the lighthouse was damned between two piles of ice and would be safe enough until morning, when we could see to get ashore. I heard no sound of an explosion from the light tower, so guessed that il had been put out In the fall, and we tried to make ourselves as comfortable as pos sible for the rest of the night. We did not sleep very much and we were glad to see morning dawn. The wind had gone down, so we decided to go ashore. Just as I opened the door heard Hello, there and on the ice below were two of our good neighbors from ashore who had come out as quickly as they could to our rescue We were delighted to see them and soon were climbing over the ice blocks toward shore, safe and sound.
 And now, sir that is quite enough for one night, so scamper off to bed, both of youi'
 Please, Uncle Ben, tell us what happened to the light tower?" pleaded Jack, as he slid down from Uncle Ben's knees.
 "Why, the whole tower was knocked right off and was found later quite long ways from the house."

BALK AT ACTING ON SUNDAY
London Theatrical Folk Overwheir,- ingly Vote Down Proposal for
 Sabbath Shows.

London.-British actors and actress es have no desire to emulate players in America by giving Sunday theatrical performances. A proposal to open Lon- don theaters on Sundays has just been voted down by an overwhelming ma jority at a meeting organized by the British Drama league. Most of those who voted were members of the the atrical profession.
 The suggestion that plays be given on Sunday was made by Arthur Bou- chier, an actor, and Father, Adderley, a socialist.
 George Bernard Shaw began by sup porting the proposal with extraordi- nary enthusiasm in his capacity of playwright who wanted to make mon- ey out of his plays and ended by con- demning it with even greater fervor as a friend of the actor"

NEW CHEROKEE CHIEF
Pick Leader From Famous Line
 of Indian Statesmen.
House of Gritts Regains Heritage Brought Down by Long Line of
 IIlustrious Leaders.

TahleQuah, Okla.-The house of Gritts regained the heritage brought down by long line of illustrious l Cherokee statesmen when the rem nants of the Cherokee Indian tribe met here and elected Levi Gritts chief of the Cherokee nation.
 In what was formerly the senate chamber of the Cherokee nation, where his father led many stirring debates, Levi Gritts was pronounced the tribes new leader.
 Bud Gritts, his grandfather, was captain in the Civil war and later was first chief of the Kee Too Wahs, the most powerful tribe of the Cherokee nation. Daniel Gritts, an uncle, was | a delegate of Senator Robert l.. Owen before the Indian payment, upon whose | death Chief Levi Gritts succeeded as delegate to Washington.
 The new chief is 47 years old, full blood Cherokee and a graduate of the Bacone Indian university of Muskogee and the Tahlequah Male university at Tahlequah.
 Chief GrittS is now in Washington in the interests of his tribe Num- bered among several important mis- sions which he will attempt to secure Is the passage of the jurisdictional bill providing final recounting of the five civilized tribes of Oklahoma. The Kee Too Wahs society was founded in 1858 upon a constitution written by Chief Lewis uncle after the dissolution of the Indian government. The society was incorporated under the laws of the United States, with the announced purpose of promoting the educational, religious and social well fare of the tribe. The society is com posed of between 5000 and 10000 full blood Cherokees.
 Two smaller societies, the Night Hawks and the Cherokee provisional committee, are contained in the tribe, over which Chief Grftts has absolute power.
 Chief Gritts speaks both the English and Cherokee language fluently, and writes as well in both languages. The new leader owns more than 1000 acres of Cherokee nation land, and resides in Muskogee with his wife and two children. He has been engaged in the real estate business for the last if teen years.

UNCLE BEN'S STORY

TUST before bedtime each night, J after playing and romping with Juno, nice old collie dog, Nancy and Jack would climb up on Uncle Ben's knees and beg for a story. Uncle Ben had been a lighthouse keeper for nearly 30 years and always had an in teresting story to tell about his ad- ventures
 "Tell us the most exciting thing that ever happened on the lighthouse, " demanded Jack, sitting up very straight. q am not at all sleepy to- night"
 So Uncle Ben, after peeping into Nancy's bright eyes. began his tale.
 Tt was in the winter of 1883 that 1t happened-One of the worst winters that I ever spent on Stony Ledge lighthouse The ice had piled up and piled up and pushed the big blocks of ice around the lighthouse just like pebbles. This night, I remember, it was sleeting very hard and I had to

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By C. N. LURlE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
"RISE UP" HALL DOWN."
 LEND UP.n

A MOMENTS reflection will show 4 A the reader the absurdity of the first two phrases printed above. Of course, when a person rises there is only one direction in which he can go, and that direction is up or upward. Therefore, do not rise up" in the morning or in the world-simply rise.
 Likewise, when you fall do not fall down'-simply fall. There can be no such thing as falling up"; it would be contrary to the law of gravitation, which has not been repealed, Dr. Fin stein's theory of relatively to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 A somewhat similar error Is the use of the proposition up" after the verb ''end," as in This ends up the af- fair" Omit the up; the sense is expressed by saying, "This ends the affair.""

LAPS LOSE MILLION
Census of 1920 Shows Big De-
 crease in Population.
Practically Every City Shows Big Drop as Compared With lncor-
 rect Figures of 1918.

Tokyo. Population figures that prove the population of the Japanese empire over 100000 less than 1t was estimated in 1918 were given out by the bureau of national power investi- gation here recently. Practically ev- cry city shows a large decrease as compared with the incorrect figures of 1918, Tokyo alone being 190,OO0 less than it's semi-official figures indicated.
 The population. of the empire, ac- cording to these figures, which are the result of months of labor on the part of the bureau officials, is 77,0O5,51o; that of Japan proper, exclusive or Korea, Formosa and Saghalien, bo,- 961, LAO.
 Both of these figures are less by more than a million than the figures given in 1918. The population of the empire, then estimated from compi- lation of old registers, was given at 78,261 ,s56, or 1,235,346 more than the census of 1920 gives. The decrease for the Japanese empire, therefore, Is 1.6 per cent
 Thus Japan, by its first modern census, for the 1920 figures are the first made along modern lines of in- vestigation, fails to bear out its story of ever increasing population which Is literally driving the nation to seek new lands in Asia and send its im- migrants out into the far corners of the earth.
 Since the fall of the Tokugawas 1t has(been customary to compile all cen sus records from old registers and it has been known for some time that Implications were not only apt to creep in, but that they had come to be the customary thing.
 According to the new figures, there are 12S,S50 more males than females in Japan proper The total number of families in Japan proper is 11,222,- 053.
 Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe rank the first three cities of the empire in the list of statistics.

HAS DIAMOND MINE
Only One on Western Hemisphere Is Located in Arkansas.
Gems Are Found in the Crater of an Extinct Volcano in Pike County
 First Found in 1906.

Murphreesboro, Ark.-The only da- mond mine thus far discovered on the western hemisphere is located in Pike county, Arkansas, in which this ham let is situated. The mine is two anG a half miles south of here.
 The diamonds are found in a pipe, the crater of an extinct voIca uo which ages ago boiled up through the surface, had it's terrific heat chilled by the water of an inland sea, and left bits of carbon scattered through out the peridotite which now fills the crater 10 be pressed into diamonds by the contraction of the rock. The peri. dOtite forms the original matrix of the diamond. and thus far the only dia- monds found in the western hemis- phere in their matrices are those of Pike county.
 Diamonds have been found in some twenty-five states, in Canada and South America, but always in river beds where, geologists surmise, they have been washed by the waters, or in places where it Is presumed they have been deposited by glacial action.
 The first Arkansas diamond was found in 1906 by John Huddleston then owner of the farm on which the sixty-acre pipe" is located, by acci- dent. Huddleston observed outcrop- pings of the gray-green rock. since classed as peridotite, and came to the conclusion that his hillsides contained valuable mineral, perhaps copper Af- ter pecking around without finding anything which looked to him like mineral. he picked up a crystal, and then one day, showed 1t to some friends in Murphreesboro. A Little Rock jeweler pronounced it diamond, and made sure by verifications by jewel experts in New York.
 The mining operations In Arkansas for several years, at least, will be far different from those of the South African fields, although the formations are the same.
 In Africa deep shafts are sunk, the peridotite is brought to the surface and spread on drying floors for periods ranging from six to eighteen months. The rock has the peculiar quality of disintegrating when exposed to the air.
 In Arkansas, however, except for a few places. the peridotite already has disintegrated to depth of about twenty feet, and mixed with vegetable matter, formed a sticky clay, called "gumbo' locally. This overburden of "gumbo" will be worked before blast ing operations are started.
