THE NAME DAMASCUS

1t is an interesting fact that the name
of Damascus, prominently mentioned in
the Bible, the present capital of the Tur-
kish vilayet of Syria, one of the holy
cities of the Moslems and the oldest city
in the world according to the best evil
dence now available, has given rise to
several words now in general use in our
language.
: Damascus whose native name is Di-
mishk-es-Sham was at one time a great
center of trade between Europe and the
East and there also several highly-prized
manufactured articles, including fabrics
of various kinds, cutlery and other articles
of steel, saddlery, glass articles, ETC., were
first produced.
A kind of sword, celebrated for the ex
cellent quality of its steel, with surface

they see in the haunting face, the elusive
ness of music, the intangible perfume of
flowers and the softness of a caress.
When this picture was mysteriously
stolen from the Louvrne few years ago,
there was the most intense excitement
among art lovers the world over, added
by the publication, few days before, of
supposed journal of da Vinci's in which
he told of the love between himself and
Mona Lisa. But the journal was obvious
ly fiction and not credited by many. Vis-
itors to the gallery were drawn to it again
in even greater numbers, upon its restora-
ton until it again reached oblivion dur
ing the war, all the priceless canvasses
being secreted then. 1t is notable that it
was the first returned to its place, mounted
for time on an easel. -
1t doesn't much matter whether she was
the love of the great painters life, but
to have conveyed to canvas the fascina-
tion, the lure, the mystery of woman is
an achievement of lifetime and yet da
Vinci's life held so many great achieve
ments that his story reads like romance.
-Martha Holden in Toledo Blade.

THE SMILING WOMAN OF THE
LOUVRE

A thing of rainbow tnts was the life of
Leonado da Vinci, "most brilliant man of
his time" And though the tabled pot of
gold was often in his hands, attainment
fell so short of his wonderful visions that
he cast it aside and again pursued the
elusive rainbow. His paintings still are
the despair of artist imitators, yet his work
never quite satisfied him and some part
of each thing he attempted is left unfn-
ished.
Da Vinci had much beauty of face and
grace of figure, his historians and con-
temporaries say he lived in the castle of
Vinci; he always dressed richly; he was
so clever that he often puzzled his tea
chers; so strong was he that he could bend
an iron ring in his hands; dumb animals
loved him and "he tanned the widest
horses" he invented curious musical in
struments, modelled in clay and made
drawings, many of which are preserved
to this day, of roads, bridges, canals and

variegated with white, silvery or black
veins and streaks and often beautifully
ornamented by designs and Inscriptions
was originally manufactured there and for
that reason called Damascus blade"
The manufacture of genuine Damascus
blades has been practically abandoned and
the original process is now well-nigh for
gotten.
The name has also been given to a
kind of steel much esteemed for the man.
ufacture of cutlery and weapons of var
ious kinds. Real Damascus iron or steel
was produced in the following manner:
A number of bars of iron and mild steel
were welded together alternately, the re-
sulting bar was drawn down to small
square bar and cut up into sections five
or six feet long. After being heated to
redness these pieces one at time were
placed in wise and twisted, process
which reduced the length one-half and at
the same time gave the bar a cylindrical
form.
Two or more of these twisted bars were
then welded together, care being taken to
have the twist of each running opposite
to that of its neighbor or neighbors. Thus
the original iron and steel were distri-
buted curiously throughout the entire mass,
the fneness and peculiar toughness of the
product depending principally on the num-
Der and thickness of the alterations.
The art of producing designs, includ-
ing Inscriptions, landscapes, ETC., on sword
blades and other articles of steel is known
as "damaskeening," term obviously de-
rived from the name Damascus. An ord-
nary method of damaskeening is to carve
or etch the design on the metal and then
to fill the lines or hollows with gold or
silver and unite the gold or silver with
the steel by hammering or soldering them.
A rich silk stuff with raised figures in
various patterns and with flowers in the
natural colors embossed on white or
colored ground was originally produced
in Damascus and therefore called
"damask." The name is now commonly
applied to a woven linen fabric, much
used for fine tablecloths toweling, nap
kins, etc. Figures, fruits flowers, ETC., are
represented on the cloth by particular
management of the warp threads in the
loom.
Everyone is familiar with a small oval
plum which may be black, blue, dark pur-
pie or yellow in color; its name, "damson,"
is derived from the name of Damascus
where the species grew originally.
The names of the damask rose, a large
pink, hardy and particularly fragrant rose
from the Syrian city, and the damask vio-
let, also sometimes called "dame's violet"
a sweet-scented herb of the mustard fam
lily, with large purple or white flowers
are obviouly derived form the name,
DamaScus.-Ex.

COUNTY
INTERESTED IN
WELFARE PROGRAM

Much interest is being taken in
Audrain County in the preventive
human welfare program which pro-
vides for the appointment of a worker
in each county to have charge of the
general welfare. ] Adams Puffer of
the national welfare league spoke at
the Christian and Baptist Churches
here Sunday and the Presbyterian
and Methodist Churches are consider
ing dates in November when Mr..
Pufer can present the program to
their congregations.
Friday evening Mr.. Puffer spoke to
an audience in the Methodist Church
in Laddonia and received hearty CO.
operation to the program there. A
committee raj appointed to have
charge of the work.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Puffer spoke to
a union meeting at Vandalia at which
over 200 were present. Much inter

The corn crop in Missouri forecasts
a yield Of 80 per cent of the yield for
1921 according to a report by E. A.
Logan of the bureau of crop estimates
and Jewell Mayes Of the State Board
ief Agriculture. A yield of 81 per
cert of last years crop would mean
that a total of 1S9,205,O00 bushels
will be raised here this season. This
is an average of 30.75 bushels per
acre.
The loss of 17,167,OOO bushels was
caused by the severe winds and rain
storms of last month. Severe losses
have been caused in all counties where
,l.ere are streams or rivers from over
flow, which either washed away the
ccrn in the shock or completely broke
down and ruined the standing crop.
While the loss in quantity will be
great the loss in quality will be cor
espondingly great and much more
mouldy, rotten and sprouted corn can
be expected than usual.
In many countries where cribbing
had not begun before the severe
rains, the farmers are hogging down
a larger acreage than usual as they
fear otherwise the corn will be a total
loss. The sharp frosty nights and
clear dry days, such as we are having
now, however, will greatly benefit the
corn.
