More Than Two Years En- Route.

In June, 1918, some Canadian sol
diers, crossing the Atlantic to Join the
forces in Europe, threw overheard in
mid-ocean a sealed bottle with a note
inside to the effect that they were on
their way to the war and asking the
finder of the bottle to forward the note
to the Toronto Sunday World. The
bottle has just been washed ashore at
st. Ives in Cornwall and the request
been carried out What would be in
teresting to know would be where the
bottle has been during the last two
years and half, and what is the drift
that brings so much flOtsam and jet
sam into the harbOr of the little fishing
town on the Atlantic. There are many
theories, one of which credits the Gulf
stream with a memory for the old
smuggling days and an intention, in
the case of the Canadians bottle, to
show awareness of these good new
days which find fresh uses for things
of unlovely repute.

Ideal Lighting.

According to an Illuminating engi-

tree on a sunny afternoon Substi-
tute for the sun a new 100-watt lamp,
for the sky the creamy ceiling of a
living room and for the tree an opales-

now get soft radiance which floods the
entire room as though it were opened

you get generous addition of light

radiance that was apparent under the

Samdust Has Value.

Savdust as waste product is a
thing of the past, for it now serves
many purposes and has an ever in
creasing commercial value. Mixed
with clay it makes good tiles and
bricks and combined with concrete
a good flooring material is obtained.
II also finds n place in the dye IN
dustry for colorlng purposes. A gas
excellent both for lighting and heat
ing nurposes can be made from saw
dust. 1t is believed that particular
" in the nelghborhoOd of sawmills,
the gas could be produced so cheaply
as to be supplied for ii few cents a

Would You Like a New Name2

How many of us, If We had the
chance, would change our Christian
names?
Lady Kitty Vincent, writing to the
London Daily Express, declares that
there should be a law that the name
given by our godfathers and our god
mothers in our baptism should not be
considered binding. When we reach
the years of discretion, she says, we
might be allowed TO change them. Her
ladyship continues:
"Remember the sad story of the par
ents who christened their daughter
'Wylde because their name was Rose
and being artistic people, they thought
II made charming sound picture. But
she married man called Bull !"

OF MIXED BLOOD
reputation Of Scotland Made Up
Of Six Races.
seottI Tribe, Originally Irish, Gave
Their Name to the Country, Ac-
eordng to the Historian

The Scotch reached Scotland from
ireland and are not the descendants
OF Gaelic CeltS who had been pusbed
north by a later (BritiSh) invasion of
Britain. The first authentic informa.
non on Scotland dates from the time
Oh the Romans, 70 A. d. Roman rule
III britain came to an end in 40. and
britain then ceased 10 be part of the
Roman empire.
The population Of Scotland is made
up of Pictish, Irish. British. Saxon.
Danish and Norman elements. all of
them lndo-Celtic, the three first. Gel
TIC, the three last, Germanic peoples.
The Picts contributed the bulk of the
population, but were overcome by the
Scott Orish), who had settled i'm Dal-
riada, part Of the present county Of
Argyle. The Scott then became the
dominant people
Brythonic Celts dwelt in Strath-
clyde; their chief city was Dunbar
ton dun Bretten, Fort of the Brit
ons'). Toward the close Of the
Eighth century the Danes appeared
and ravaged the coast settlements and
the isles. The SaXons first appeared
in 42S in Britain. In the Eleventh
century Norman refugees first crossed
the border into Scotland.
The first Irish colonization in Scot.
land took place toward the end of the
second century but the kingdom Of
Dalriada was not effected until the
close of the fifth 1t is these Scott
who have given their name to Scot
land. The relations between the two
countries We're very close and lasted
LOCO years, or at least up TO the Ref
orInation. and the early literature
and civilization of Scotland belong TO
Ireland.
According 10 legend. the name
Scotch is derived from Scotia. daugh-
ter of one of the Pharaohs. The word
is probably related etymologically to
the German Schatz, and means mas
tiers, owners" Originally and there
to the end of the Eleventh century, 1t
meant only Ireland. Since that date
it means specifically Scotland. The
Scotch Gael never calls himself
Scotch, but Gael, or, to indicate his
country, Albanach. English-speaking
HighlanderS, even though Scotchmen.
are SaXOns in the mind Of Gael. In
the Fifteenth century, when English
became the predominant speech in the
Lowlands. the English and non-Celtic
Scotch called Gaelic "Erse." Since
the Sixteenth century the name
Scotch has been applied to the Eng
fish spoken in the Lowlands. SO, by
a strange freak of fortune; Scotch,
originally applied to variety of Gel
tic, has come to mean Broad Scotch
or Quaint English, language of Ger
manic origin.
The distinction made between the
Highlands and Lowlands Of Scotland
is correct merely so far as the phys
ical CONFORMATION Of the country is
concerned. but incorrect if racial
significance is read into 1t. There is
a mistaken notion that Scotland is a
country of two races, Celtic in the
North and Teutonic in the South. and
that the latter element has displaced
the former. No doubt the Lowland

posite blood, but he is above all

Public Buildings Committee Takes Strong Stand on
 Funds for Buildings. SUTHERLAND TRANSMITS LETTER TO LOCAL ASSN. Believed Committee Attitude Will Not Block Unit
 Construction Plan.

That serious obstacles will be en- any effort to get an increased ap- prOpriation for the local Capitol building project is indicated by data received from the Delegate this morning by the Juneau Commercial Association. This is contained in a copy of a letter put out by the Com mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds of the House of Represen- tatives in which it is stated that no general appropriation bill will be considered nor any individual meas ure given hearing.
 The letter, which bears the sigma ture of John w. Langley, Chairman of the Committee, stated
 T am advised by the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to ent condition of the Government f. nances and the consequence neces- sity for the utmost rigid economy, as well as the pressure of emergency legislation, the Committee has defin-, itely decided not to prepare and re- port a general public buildings bill at this session, or to consider any individual bill at this session, or to consider any individual bill author iZing an appropriation of money, other than for hospital facilities for the treatment of our disabled ex- service men and women.
 "I. therefore, beg to inform you that in view of this decision no ac- tion will be taken by our Committee at this session of Congress upon any priation for public building work other than as above indicated"
 The letter was transmitted to the Juneau Commercial Association without any comment by the Dele gate. In view of the statements therein, it is considered very doubtful by members of the As sociation who have read it if there is any chance for getting an in- creased appropriation. It is not be- lieved, however, that the Commit tees decision will apply to a bill to make available the money already 
 The letter is dated August 5, which is several days prior to thel telegram received by the Associa- ton from Delegate Sutherland last week, in which he advised it to take, no definite action on the matter un- til letter written by him. to Gov Bone had been received and the lat ter consulted. This, it is believed would indicate tha tthe Delegate isl not without hope that he will be able to accomplish something at this session, or the regular session begin hing December.
