 q have always wanted a name," 1t said, Ito distinguish me from the oth- ep members of the very large family to which I belong, and if you will give me this power, Fairy Queen, and a name, I will be the one to mimic Fuss the rest of my life"
 q am afraid you will not think the name a pretty one" said the Queen, obut because you are so brave and are willing to take this upon you, and your branch of the family, you shall be given, too, an attractive song.
 "You shall have the power to whis- tie and cluck and make moving sounds as well, and when you wish to sing all shall stop and listen to your voice, but as you will make the new ing sounds oftener than the others you will have to bear the name of cat bird all the days of your life.p
 The pretty little bird nodded that he was willing and up to the limb where he sat the Queen and all her fairies doated. waving over and around him their wands
 "Go back to your homes" said the Queen, and tomorrow you will find Hou will soon be rid of your tormen. tor"
 The next day when Fuss came to the woods and began to prowl around she was surprised to hear 'Mi-eu mee-ow, meow mi-eu," coming from one of the trees.
 She looked mp verv angry. thinking that some other puss had come to her hunting grounds, but she was sur prised to see looking down at her a saHey little bird, which again cried smi-eu, meow" while all the other birds twittered and chattered in the most tantalizing manner.
 Fuss gave one more look to make sure, and then she turned and ran, while through the wood rang the cry, smi-eu, meow, mi-eu, meow"
 And that is the way, so the fairies say. the Catbird got it's name.

THE CATBIRD'S CALL

H NCE upon time, it is said, all NJ the birds gathered in the woods one night to meet the fairies, for they had been bothered so much with a bad Fuss who visited the woods they wanted revenge
 "What we want,' the birds told the Fairy Queen, "is to bother Fuss. She has worried the life out of us catch ing some of our family and climbing the trees and getting our children"
 "Of course, l cannot put Fuss out of the way" said the Queen. "She is far too useful catching mice; but I do not approve of her bad habit of catching birds"
 sShe does catch them, and she must be punished" said the birds. Do help us, Fairy Queen, or she will stay in the woods, and soon there will not be a bird left.
 q will tell you what l will do for you" said the Queen, after thinking while. "Puss is very proud of her fine

DID YOU DREAM OF DOGS?

ITO DREAM of dogs is, as rule, 1 accounted a lucky omen. If the dog is vicious and attempts to bite you, and you succeed in keeping him off or driving him off, it means that you will get the better of your ene- mies-if you have any. Even if the dog bites you it is not so bad, for it indicates only temporary annoyances. If the dog barks at you, or you see two dogs fighting, you are in for a quarrel with some one, or some people are jealous of you-very likely both. At any rate if the dog snarls and barks at you pay closer attention to your business. If you see dog sleep ing, be assured that everything will come out all right for you in the end. If you see a female dog with her pup pies the oracles are united in saying that it signifies that something over which you are now worried, or disap pointed, or angry, and which you re- gard as unfortunate will, in the long run, turn out greatly to your advan tage. If you dream that you are play ing with dog it is supposed to signify that you are too free with your money don't spend so much on mere trivial ities and pleasures. To see dog in a dream under any circumstances means that you have faithful friends who will stand by you.

Record British Arrivals.

One table by races places the Eng fish immigration in 1920 at 5S,368, which is the largest recorded in the last p years, or since figures for races were kept but of this 30,0O0 came from Canada.
 Another surprising feature is thai Spain ranked third, sending 18,S21, which was three times as many as 1t was sending before the war Portugal came next with 15,472, which was more than it sent in 1913 and 50 per cent more than in 1912.

 With start the sleeper sprang to her feet and tum5led out on the floor. The room was filled with smoke that poured into the hall, and the blazing curtains had caught the flames so fiercely that several pictures were afire. A moment later and the fire would have gotten over the whole flat and both Fluffy and Aunt Pauline would have been burned.
 But seeing a moments lift in the smoke, Aunt Pauline dashed to the bathroom and, getting pail of water managed, by making several trips, to put out the flames.
 Then, tired and exhausted with the excitement, she sat down in tears in the front room with little Fluffy curled in her lap.
 Presently the door opened and in came Ada. The smoky room, the wet fioor a weeping woman with the dog in her lap, astonished the child.
 ''Why, what on earth has hap pened?" exclaimed Ada. And why is Fluffy scorched and lying in your fapY'
 Aunt Pauline burst into a new flood of tears and hugged Fluffy closer.
 "What has happened !" she ex- claimed. "Why, everything. When I was asleep the curtains caught fire from the stove and set the room afre T would have burned to death had not Fluffy jumped on the bed and awakened me"
 eOh, am so proud of darling Fluff fy," exclaimed Ada. "Wasn't that smart and good of her to do that?o
 "She is the best doggie in the world, cried Aunt Pauline as she went to the cupboard and got out a bit of chicken and some milk. We will never speak again of her going away Fluffy must stay right here, and she shall have milk and chicken for din her every day Then that pretty rug in my room will be her he'd every nwht."
 \ very happy party there WAS thaI night after the gas was lighted and the dinner had been cleared away. Fluffy sat on the sofa while Ada and Aunt Pauline made pretty bows for her neck and praised her up as the best little dog in the world.

 E THE GIRL ON THE JOB E = How to Succeed-How to Get == = Ahead-How to Make Good = = By JESSIE ROBERTS 2 7IIIIIllII.illIIiEilliIIlIElIIllIliIIiIIIllilIl HOME YOCATIONS
By JESSIE ROBERTS

N THE old days women did their $ work in their own homes, and they did pretty much all the work that was required to make a home complete. Today women have gone out into the world to earn their living, and what they use in their homes they buy. But there is a curious return to some of the older types of work. Once again women are spinning and weaving. But now they do it for it's commercial value They make vocation of some household task of their grandmoth- CTS, and earn living by it.
 Speciality shops and private custO-I mers pay big sums for fine work of this hand sort. It is a good businesst venture for a woman who really wants to make money and who cannot go out into the world to do so, to learn the processes of weaving, provide her self with the proper equipment anal then get to work, She should get m touch with some selling center, ana keep herselS informed of the pest work that is being doDe in her me- This she can do by ioiping some crafts society. A course ofs six weeks with a good teacher, woPking every day. is advised The lootm itself will cost from fifty to sixty dollars but It IS useless to invest in poor one. The worl1woman is wori3hly of her tools and she should see that her tools are frst-rate in quality.
 Many women do tiIs,r own dyeing' getting excellent results. Many make their own designs, or copy1 certain well-liked ones from old sourc9s:- hnR marketing is part of the work. If yot.- belong to a crafts society yoH can usually sell through it. Or you may hold private exhibitions in your studio or house, or use the various exchanges that have been established, or get in-i to touch with commercial dealers who handle such things.
 With patience, and by avoiding put ting too high price on your work until you are well established, you will build up paying art.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"ROGUS"

sGD OGUS," originally the
 D American slang equiva- lent of counterfeit or spurious, slipped into the language through a corruption of the name of man named Borghese, re- puted to have been very cor rupt individual who, around 1925, flooded the west and south west with vast amounts of coun- terfeit bills. BorgheSe, it is interesting to note, turned out his currency so rapidly that he didn't even stop to find out if the banks on which the bills were drawn were even in exis- tence. As a result, much of his money was counterfeit in a double sense-it stimulated cur rency and it bore the name of fictitious financial institution.
 The Westerners, being rather rapid in their speech, shortened the Italian name of Borghese first to "Borges" and then to Bogus" applying the term to counterfeits of all descriptions. The earliest use of the word yet reported is recorded in the ''New English Dictionary" as occurring in the Gainesville, Ohio, Tele- graph of July 6. 1927. Then, of course, it was spelled with a capital "B' and it was not until nearly half century later that it took its place in language as generally used.

 and that smoke from chimneys-even in the cities where smoke condensers are used-means that oily particles are constantly sitting down through the atmosphere. While even in the coun- try there is the dry dust from the roads and the plowed fields, when blows into the homes, and settles upon faces as well as furniture.
 Now, the pores of the skin are con- stantly throwing off minute oily part1- eles. The skin becomes shiny, and while the shiny skin Is good form iB Turkey, it isn't considered so here. little pure rice powder will absorb this oil, without ciogging the pores. and keep the shine from becoming toe prominent. Besides, the powder takes up the dust that blows against the face. and prevents it from being ab- sorbed into the pores.
 Talcum powder is too heavy for skin of the face. Only the purest grade of rice should be used, as other sorts will clog the pores. Rice pow der, however, is so fine that it will not injure the skin in any way, thoh&t even this should not be applied 'a. heavily.

American Valuation.
The Fordney Tariff Plan Works Well
In Other Countries.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: I have
noted that one OF the chief arguments
against the American valuation plan, as
that the administrative features would
be so intricate that even q multitude OF
customs officials could not obtain the
true American values.
England levies its ad valorem duties
on the value OF the goods at the place
Of Importation Holland. France and
Japan have long had this system and
Belgium has adopted it within the year.
It Is absurd to say that what works
successfully In other countries will not
work in the United States
Here values are known by our manu-
facturers and merchants. and oven by
the consuming public TO a great ex-
tent. American buyers in our large
department stores could not retain their
both foreign and domestic values. 1t is
the duty OF our customs officials to know
values. They have had many years of
training In this process.
1t is strange to hear 1t said by oppo-
nents of the American valuation plan
that American customs examiners and
appraisers could not successfully ad-
minister law that foreign officials in
other countries have no difficulty in ad-
ministering. 1t would be far easier for
our officials to ascertain the true Amer
lean value than It Is to get the real
foreign value. WILLIAM Fl. CLIFF.

bags of the great dirigible. The ex-
pensiveness of the helium required
must be admitted. 1t would have
cost about 10 per cent. OF the cost
of the ship. But what is the ship
worth now?
That the production OF helium has
not been large enough TO meet the
wants OF our dirigibles is discon-
certing. When the armistice was
signed the United States was build
ing plants which would produce 50,-
coo cubic feet a day and there were
147,000 cubic feet in drums on the
docks awaiting shipment to England.
Thanks to the allied chemists of the
Navy. the Signal Corps and the Bu-
reau of Mines, the cost OF this safe
gas was low enough for war use and
was going still lower.
America, of all the nations, had
the advantage OF the discovery Of
helium and the facilities for making
IL in large quantities. The prepara-
tion of enough helium for the ZR-2
could have been started a year ago,
IL necessary. Yet the Administra-
tion that was willing to spend ST.
G00,000 for a foreign built dirigible
was not willing, evidently. to spend
a little more to protect the dirigible
and its men against the greatest of
the dangers that beset airships.
II this country is going In for diri-
gibles it will be better for it to make
its own. Let us use American en-.
gines, bodies, bags and gas. And let
the gas be helium. II we can't afford
helium we can't afford dirigibles.
Least of all can we afford. whatever
the condition OF the Treasury, to risk
the lives OF our fighters unneces-
sarily. The tragedy on the Humber
ought to be a lesson.

that the Messrs. TATTEEsALL sold at
the first and second Newmarket July
sales 256 head for total of $642 1926,
an average of $2,512, or 1857 less
than the American average obtained
at Saratoga.
The English average in 1920 was
1926, so that the foreign market for
thoroughbreds is not as good as ours
at the present time. 1t was expected
that the Newmarket average this
year would fall below that OF 1920
because of the business depression
in England, and it would probably
have been lower than it was had not
breeders from Spain, Italy and
France been in the market. The real
test for the English breeder will be
at Doncaster in the autumn, when
the yearlings from the Sledmere and
other fashionable breeding studs will
be offered. The Sledmere yearlings
in 1920 brought an average of
S21,020. The top figure at the recent
Newmarket sales was $4,000 for the
colt by Tracery out OF Countess Zia,
consigned to the sales by the British
National Stud.
The breeders Of blood stock in the
United States have reason to felici-
tate themselves on the strength OF
the market at home. They should
further strengthen their blood line at
every available opportunity and 50
build that those engaged in the same
industry in other countries will find
1t necessary TO come to them for
material with which to fortify their
thoroughbred families.
