is so.
But while France may smile
tolerantly at the vanities of the
stranger within her country, there
are places where she draws the line.

advantage of the opening afforded
them. Clever and unscrupulous men

Among the spectators who wit
messed the ceremony and were
deeply impressed by it's solennity
and seeming significance was a
large body Of Indians collected
from some of the most powerful
tribes of the Northwest for the
purpose Of making treaty with the
whites. Always fond of ceremony
among themselves, they witnessed
the parade, Of which they little
suspected the import, with the
greatest interest, and were espe-
cially interested in the high sheriff,
who led the procession with drawn
sword. We are told that he was
over six feet tall, we'll proportioned
and of commanding presence and
that his fine physical properties and
dignifed bearing excited their
highest admiration. This they ex-
pressed by the word hetuck, or, in
their language, "big buckeye" 1t
was not spoken in derision, but was
the expression Of their greatest ad-
miration.
Afterward the title was often ap-
piled jocularly to Colonel Sproat
and became sort of nickname, by
which he was familiarly known
among his associates.
That was its first known applica-
ton to an individual in the sense

Watering Places Crowded
The famous French watering places
were again crowded after a lapse
of six years. Evian-les Bains, for
instance, calmly charged lao francs
for any sort of hotel room, and sew
eral hundred for those with the in
etfable luxury Of a private bath.
Deauville woke up, and Biarritz.
Even the winter resorts along the
Cote d'Azur kept open during the
summer to some small extent.
And when Paris in the early fall
welcomed the Americans and the
South Americans and the English
and the Russians, and all the rest
of the world with money to spend,
the business of pleasure seeking was
on in earnest. Lights blazed at
night; the sidewalk cafes joyously
boosted the prices Of "sundae
Americana" to 3 francs, which was
only about Is cents, but which
meant 60 cents to the Frenchman;
the "dancings," as Paris calls it's
dance halls now, were crowded.

Now, France is thrifty, and she
sees no objections to combining
morality and profit. Hence she is
considering luxury taxes on a
much heavier scale than before.
There are taxes on the employment
of domestic servants, for instance;
there are taxes upon the possession

and distinctive properties were re-
terred to and the opinion expressed
that the name was at first applied

but has since been raised into q
title of a certain honor, so to say"
First Application
This conclusion, however, does not
seem to Farrar to be altogether war
ranted, for the name, he states, ''is
not only Of Indian origin, as stated,
but the first application of it ever
made to white man was made by
the Indians themselves and intended
by them as an expression of their
highest sense of admiration.
Zone pioneer historian tells US"
he states, that upon the opening of
the first court in the Northwest Ter
ritory, on September 2, 1888, a pro-
cession was formed at the point
where most of the settlers resided
and marched up a path that had
beeu cut and cleared through the
forest to Campus Martius Hill in
the following order:
First, the High Sheriff, with
drawn sword; second, the citizens
third, officers Of the garrison at Fort
Harmar; fourth, members of the
bar; fifth. supreme Judges; sixth, the
Governor and clergymen, and sew
enth, the newly appointed Judges of
the Court OF Common Pleas.
There says the chronicler, the
whole array counter marched, and
the judges, Putnam and Trpper, took
their seats, the clergymen invoked
the divine blessing and the Sheriff
proclaimed with his solemn "Oyez'

administration of even-handed jus

now used; but there is no evidence
that the name continued to be so
used and applied from that time for
ward, or that it became a fixed and
accepted sobriquet for the state
and the people, until more than
half century afterward, during
all of which time the buckeyes con-
tinued to be an object of more or
less interest.
AS immigration made it's way
across the state and the settlements
extended into the rich valleys, it
was found by the travellers and ex-
plorers out from these and was
carried by them back to the East as
rare curiosity, from what at that
time was the Far West. It was
credited with rare medical prop

Paris has donned it's winter gar

will be flung into the fires of spring,
as all similar Partisan habiliments
have been in the past. And if it
isn't, why, anyhow, even Partisan
sackcloth must show a dash Of verve
here or of chicness there.
The city on the Seine never will
be again what it was in the hectic
years just before the war, when
every night was one of carnival.

is no sneering noble to answer, "Je
Ne sais pourquoi" ('I don't see
why.") And so IN the year 1920,
when most of the strange uniforms
had disappeared, and when the only
remainder of the great flood of
American Khaki was the debris of
cigarettes and canteen stores left by
the receding tide, Paris began trying
to forget the war.
True, it was a feeble imitation of
the old gayety which first made it's
appearance, and it even fell below
the standard set during actual hos
tlllties, when Paris was the rendez-
vous of dozen armies on leave, and
when the dull grumbling of the guns
to the north and east formed a sim
lster accompaniment to the hurried d
and intensified recreation snatched
by Tommy and Poilu and Yank. But

lation, and whether it will ever be
put into force is problematical.
The tax upon domestic servants
will doubtless be gladly endured by
those people fortunate enough to
have servants in Paris. Before the
war it was not difficult to get maids,
and they worked with a thorough
ness which astounded their American
mistresses. The prewar bonne did
all the marketing for the family; she
often did part, if not all, Of the
washing, and of course she attended
to the cooking and serving of meals
and to keeping the house or apart
ment clean. Now the maids are
talking of organizing their own trade
union, with an eight-hour day and
double pay for overtime!

"But the name never became fully
crystallized until 1s4O," Farrar puts
it, "when in the crucible of what is

The Indian Name

The usual and most commonly
accepted solution to the question as
to why Ohio should be known as
the Buckeye State,'" Mr.. Farrar
Puts it, ''is that it originates from
the buckeye tree, which is in
digenous to the State of Ohio, and
hot found elsewhere.
This, however, is not altogether
correct, as it is also found both in
Kentucky and Indiana, and in some
few localities in West Virginia and
perhaps elsewhere. But while such
is the fact, its natural locality ap-
pears to be in the State of Ohio. and
its native soil in the rich valleys of
the Muskingum, Hooking, Scioto,
Miami and Ohio, where in the
early settlement of the state it was
found growing in great abundance,
and, because of the luxuriance of
It's foliage, the richly colored dyes
OF its fruit and its ready adapta-
ton to the wants and conveniences
of the pioneers, it was highly priced
by them for many useful purposes.

Why President Harding Wears the Title of Buckeye

TIME President of the United
Il States is a genuine Buckeye"
He halls from Ohio, is proud
of the fact, and, being from Ohio, he
accepts the title of buckeye" as a
due to him from the fathers, even as
does each and every other inhabitant
Of that state.
Ohio is the Buckeye State, as the
veriest schoolboy can tell you, and
buckeye trees, it may be mentioned,
are still very, very numerous, both
on the farms and in suburban gar
dens there.
Just why Ohio, more than many
another, should be named after the
buckeye, however, is a question as to
whose answer many persons are
most dubious, for the buckeye is by
no means the most numerous native
tree to be found in Ohio forests; nor
is it indigenous to Ohio only, being
scattered pretty we'll everywhere.
The real story of why Ohio should
be known for this rather useless
tree-attractive in its shade and it's
flowers, but otherwise of but little
service throughout-is told officially,
for the state, by William Farr in a
history Of Ohio, compiled for pub
lication by the state authorities.
