ORIGIN of Polka. Dot.

Sllyered with the dust of decades is
the polka-dot pattern in mems scarfs.
Fashions may appear and disappear,
but the polka-dot is peerless aud dis
appearless. As regularly as sunrise
and the seasons, this design brghtens
windows and wearers. 1t is one-and-
invisible with the fine art of dress
alike in America and England.
To the polka-dot is ascribed an odd
ancestry. Its name, of course, is de-
rived from the polka, an old-fashioned
round dance with three steps to the
measure, This dance, introduced In
Europe by a Bohemian, round about
1885, spread to the United States at
the time that Polk was a candidate for
the presidency. The polka-dot was
bracketed with Folks name by politi-
cal admirers, and polka-this and polka
that. from shirts to shoes, became 4
bit of furore in merchants windows.

CHINESE NOW CLAIM HONOR
Buddhist Priests said to Have DIseov-
cred America Long Before
Day of Columbus

Legends common 10 the literature
about the year 400 Hwui Shan, a
Buddhist missionary, in company with
tive brother priests, found land
many miles to the eastward Of China
which he named Fusang. They sailed
along the Chinese coast to Kamchat-
ka and thence along the Aleutian is
lands to Alaska The description of
the peoples they found fits the Aleuts
and the EskimoS as they are today.
From Alaska, which they called
Great Han they sailed along the coast
to Fusang Hwuai Shan describes the
dwellings made of blocks of Sun-dried
mud, which housed many people, a
description which fits the pueblos of
ancient America. He mentions plant
used in making cordage and paper,
which afforded vegetable milk and
which yielded tender edible sprouts.
The maguey plant also answers this
description.
He also describes a plant and Its
frnlt which rs the species OF cactus
commonly known as the prickly pear.
From the Chinese records therefore,
Fusang was very like Mexico.
a few years ago the Chinese gov

search Of the Imperial records and
from them came the foregoing &c

ECONOMY.

No less than a score Of citizens Of for

we are watching your work of reduc-

But more important than this is the

Eaqles Chance Color.

The young eagle is clothed in three
kinds of garments before it reaches
maturity During the first year it is
black, the second year Slate-colored,
the third year brown and white. It
might be said that the bald-headed
eagle is not bald. 1t is SO called from
the white ruff Of feathers about its
head. The three different appearances
Of the young eagle one time provoked
a strange misunderstanding among
bird observers. II was thought that
they were three different species-the
black, the George Washington and the
bald. The eagle is one Of the Fal.

similar birds of prey

Many were the strange stories told
OF the eagle during antiquity. 1t was
believed to be the messenger and
spirit OF Jupiter. One Of these stories,
and perhaps the most peculiar of all
OF them, is the following. told by
Pliny the great naturalist of ancient
Rome:
As soon as her fledglings can fly the
mother eagle takes her young ones
and bids them sit upon limb In full
view of the setting sun. If one Of
them ever so much as blinks or waters

I'm the main the work of the
chaplain differed little. whatever his
religion might be. He was first of
all a chaplain in the United States
Army and. second, a representative
of his own religious body. This
means that all welfare work or per-
sonal service was rendered equally
to men of any faith. The only dis
tinctiOD authorized was between
Protestant. Catholic and Jewish
services. and even to these a non
sectarian' service was often added
Wherever / went / was called upon
by Jew and non-Jew alike, for in
the service most men took their
troubles to the nearest chaplain ir-
respective of his religion. The SOL
diers Disseminated only in a spe-
cial case, such as the memorial
prayer (Kaddish) for the Jewish
boy or confession for the Catholic.
The office at once assured every sol
der that he had a protector and a
friend"
Rabbi Levinger says: MY expe-
riences as a chaplain were as nearly
typical as possible with any individ-
ual-" His work was mainly among
his eoreligionists because there were
few Jewish chaplains in France.
His busiest time was during the
Jewish holidays. He felt that it was
an inspiration to preach to audi
ences composed principally of men.
Many times he had several Gentiles
at his services and they always
showed him due respect. Rabbi
Levinger feels that the men who re-
turned from the war will be lost to
the church unless il adapts itself
better. The author shows that the
Jew acquitted himself as well as SOL
diers of other faiths, and believes
that anti-Semitism has therefore
received its death blow. His accounts
of his own personal experiences are
interesting. whether he describes his
sensations under fire or his fur
loughs when he visited medieval
churcl les.

Ing Observation-Disclosures of the few
men in the army who does not have
to XIII but is there to save"
Instead of this "the chaplain is in
the army as the physician is. as the
thousands Of other nonfcombatants
are. for strictly military purpose.
1t happens that the non n-combatants
may use non-military methods. One
may drive a locomotive, another
carry a stretcher, another sit in an
office and make out papers. All are
essential to the military machine:
none is in the service for any special
humanitarian purpose: none is pres
but all to take part in the grim
conflict of the twentieth century.
The work of physician in the mill
tary service is the very utilitarian
one of saving mems lives and re-
turning them to the front The work
of a chaplain is the equally essen
tial and practical one of stimulating
the morale of the troops"
He continues: THE military OBJ
ject of the chaplain is clear, TO slim
ulate the morale of the men. But his
methods We're not unmilitary. In
stead of reminding the men of the re-
spect due him as an officer. the wise
chaplain took his salutes as a matter
OF course and tried TO draw the men
personally. to make them forget
all about military distinctions when
they came TO talk to him. The
minute a chaplain insisted upon his
rank as an officer he lost his influ-
ence as a minister. Rank was use
ful to the chaplain in so far as it
gave him free access to the highest
authorities: it became the greatest
obstacle to his work whenever the
boys began to talk to him as Captain
instead of Father or Chaplain. In
the military as well as in the civil
field the religious messages can come
only by personality. never by com
mand.
