the Squirrel brothers were always up
bright and early and called for Tom
mic Rabbit to come out and find some
fun.
They came running along the path
that led past the house where Grand
pa Fox lived, when Billy Squirrel, who
was quicker than the others, ran into
Grandpa's yard.
He spied the nuts and back he went
as quick as a flash and told the news
to the others.
Tommie Rabbit did not care very
much for the nuts, but he ran with
Billy and his brother, and he spied the
basket of radishes.
Looking around all three of them
made sure that Grandpa was not in
sight, and then they took all the nuts
and radishes they could carry, and
from his window Grandpa pounded
the sill with the big stick and shouted:
Drop those, you little rascals; drop
them"
Grandpa Fox knew that was all that
was needed to make them carry off the
nuts and radishes, so he pounded and
called until they were out of sight.
"StOlen sweets are always the
sweetest" he said. THAT may be true
in some cases, but I'll wager my pipe
those youngsters will find out that is
not true saying always"
And they did, for Billy Squirrel did
not bother Grandpa Fox any more.
Such sneezing was never heard in the
woods before, even the chicken with
the whoOping cough did not sneeze
any harder, though they all found
their heads and tails were safe when
it was over.
Their mouths and threats were
burned, too, and so for many days they
suffered for their badness and now old
Grandpa Fox can sit all day in the
sun and no one bothers him.

"What'S in q Name?"
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence II was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky Jewel
ALBERTA

a Iberia, meaning nObly bright,
"A has its origin in the Teutonic Ian
guage. 1t is one Of the names COM
ing from the nobility of which Aethel
is the root.
Aethelbryht was its first form,
though 1T was masculine name and
was given to the first Christian king
Of England The famous bishop of
Prague, who was martyred near Dant-
zig while preaching to the heather
Prussians in 997, was called Adel-
brecht and his fame spread the use
of the name throughout a great part
Of Europe.
Italy received 1t and straightway
changed 1t to Alberto. 1t is from this
latter that the feminine forms, AL
berta and Albertine, were formed.
The husband Of the late Queen Vic
toria, who bore the name of Albert,
brought both the masculine and fem
mime into great vogue in England. In
deed, 1t has since been accepted as a
national name.
But, like all names which have a
masculine and feminine equivalent,
Alberta has no really individual ex-
istence. After all, she is merely a
masculine name with feminine
termination. But unlike many of her
contemporaries, such as Edwina and
Roberta, she is almost frivOlously
feminine and is not regarded as sub
stitute name for the hopedfor son
and heir who was to have been called
Albert.
Jade is Alberta's talismanic stone.
1t has the power to assure It's wearer
great prosperity, and freedom from
danger and disease. But it should
never be removed from the finger,
arm, or throat on which II Is worn.
Monday is Alberta's lucky day and
/ her lucky number.

days Of the Restoration when
the drinking was deep and the
shouting long and when, as
penance for any slip Of the
tongue or forgetfulness of man.

to drink a bumper" without
splitting drop.
As this feat did not depend
so much upon the liquid capac-
ity of the drinker as upon the
steadiness Of his nerves. IL was
no light task-particularly well
along toward morning. A large
goblet or small bowl was
filled to the brim with wine and
then a few additional drops
were carefully added, so that
the liquid would not overflow
but would actually rise a frac-
ton of an inch over the top of

American contributions to the China

rapidly increase.

Chinese dollar is worth about half an

Appeals to the nation to help the
Chinese have been made by President
Harding and ex-Presidents Wilson and
Taft, and are being quoted in the cam
paign. President Harding said in
part:
AT this, the earliest practicable
moment in my administration, desire
to add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore In
behalf of the starving people of a
large section of China.
THE picture of Chnas distress is
SO tragic that 1 am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made,
and to express the hope that the
American people will continue to con-
tribute to this humanitarian cause as
generously as they possibly can"

Telephone Improvement.

A wartime invention promising per-
manent usefulness is the throat mi
crophone transmitter Placed against
the side of the throat when a person
is talking, 1t transmits speech clearly,
and without being affected by outside
sounds. In a late type of the instru-
ment, an ebonite handle presses the
microphone against the throat and an
ordinary small receiver against the
ear, but for long conversations the
throat microphone is mounted as an
attachment Of the head-gear receiver.

When he had good pile of them
finished he looked at his work with a

them In pan to the pantry window,
where 1t was nice and cool, so they
would not wither.

Something TO
Think AbOut
BLONDES AND BRAINS
By F. II. WALKER

A LEARNED judge was recently
"A quoted as announcing from his
bench that he would not approve of
blonde ladies as members Of a jury
which was about to hear a case under
his jurisdiction.
BLONDES are fickle," were the words
attributed to the justice, intimating
that tickleness is g bar to what the
law is supposed to assure the person
on trial
A year or SO ago a big Western EN-
ployer in advertising for Office help
announced that he would not receive
the applications of blondes, giving as
a reason that he had found them in
attentive to work and temperamental
in disposition.
There has always been a good deal
of discussion regarding the relative
attractivenesS Of blondes and bru-
nettes despite the fact that in the
long ago when the caveman was the
highest type of civilization, we were
all blonde, or at least red hair was
the darkest tint
The reason why nature covered
primeval men and women with blonde
or red hair was twofold; that 1t
served the same purposes of low Wis
Utility which is gained by the animals
whose fur coats blend with the sur
roundings in which they live and the
fact that those colors better protected
the skin from the effects of direct sun
light.
We know that these colors Of hair
prevailed because in the discovery of
almost every burial place Of people Of
that time light or reddishly tinged
hair has been found.
1t is interesting to note that the
three parts of the body which longest
resist the dsintegration which follows
death are the teeth, the finger nails
and the hair, and Of these the last
two are very nearly Of the same char
acter.
Which is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not fit for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido, queen of Carthage, Of whom
Virgil writes In the Aeneid, was not
tickle, although she was q blonde. She
stuck to her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair,
shade darker than the real blonde,
was not what one might call absolute
ly constant in her devotions, but in
modern society she might not he listed
as extremely tickle.
But the analyzing OF society, ancient
or modern, according to the color Of
the hair. would not furnish very sub
stantial basis for judging either wom-
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
1t is what is just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
for any sort Of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color of hair determined
ability what would become of the UNI
fortunates who haven't any hair at
all2
Never mind about your hair, young
lady readers. Don't bother about Its
color, and don't spend too much time
fixing" it.
If you are to be anxious about any
thing. be anxious about the inside of
your head instead Of the outside.

London, March %.
Coal production in the Ruhr mines has
declined at a rate close to a million tons
a month, due to the cancellation OF the

uation Is one which Is regarded as preg-
nant of disaster to the German coal in

wages based on the increase In the cost
OF living and the increase In Illness
According to official calculations the
operators are now mining at loss.
The price of coal has not increased
since the higher wage scale was ac-
&c ted last August A further rise n
wages is impossible without an advance
in the price OF coal. It IN generally
expected that the Government will con-
sent TO adding twenty-five marks to the
price OF ton. But that this is not

fact that English coal, which is OF o
better grade than the German coal, Is
being sold in Germany to-day at twenty
marks a ton below the German inland
price. The decrease In the German out
nut makes the competition of imported
coal especially dangerous.
