THE TELEPHONE

y EMEMBER the telephone!
~ For what is the use of our won
derful modern civilization if we don't
take advantage of all its convent
ences? And that is just what the
telephone is-a convenience.
Yet for the sake of saving five or
ten or twenty cents, sometimes, some
of us ignore the existence of the tele-
phone, and cause thereby untold wOr-
ry to our family and our friends.
For instance, you have told your
family that you will be home at four
o'clock to take a little motor trip be-
fore dinner. You are delayed at the
office, and know you won't be able
to get home until seven. Telephone
them, and put their minds at rest
about the change of your plans. Or
you are delayed by block on the
subway or street car line on the way
TO a friends house for a luncheon en-
gagement. Telephone her, instead of
arriving three-quarters Of an hour
late, full of apologies. Or perhaps
you take a taxi to the station to
catch a train to a friends house for
a weekend visit The taxi is caught
in a traffic jam and you miss the
train. Telephone, so that the friend
who is expecting you won't wait
anxiously for your train to arrive.

while all the time Mr.. Thunder scold-
ed.
Rain Clouds began to cry, the big
ones as well as the little ones, and
down rolled their tears on the thirsty
Mother Earth and her parched chill
dren.
MY, how those rain clouds did cry
They cried SO hard and so long that
their fast falling tears made puddles
and pools all over the ground, but
Mother Earth did not care; she just
made places to catch the falling
drops, and when the little brooks and
streams ran over she told them,
Never mind, my dears, we can use it
all. / am so thirsty I can drink every
bit of it before morning"
And she did, for the next morning
everything was bright and fresh and
Mother Earth and all her children
were no longer thirsty.
The Rain Clouds were all afraid of
Mr.. Thunder and his sister, hot tenn
pered Miss Lightning, after that, and
now when they hear him scolding
they are pretty sure to come running
and begin their work, for they know
how angry he can be when they fail
to give Mother Earth and her chill
dren water when they are thirsty.

The little brooks and streams had
done all they could to help, but even
they were almost dry, and in her de-

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"VILLAIN"


HISTORY, which has a habit
- of repeating itself, runs
true to form in a number of
words, as may be seen by the
comparison of the changes I'M
dergone by pagan" and Evil
lain" The former, as we have
seen, first meant a dweller in
a village (pagus), then heather
villager and then a heather.
Similarly, william" was origi-
nally applied to the serf or peas
ant, known as "villanus" be-
cause he was attached to the
villa or farm. In this sense it
had no opprobrious meaning
whatever, being practically a
synonym for our word country
man" or rustic" Then, because
it was taken for granted that the
peasant would be churlish, self
ish, dishonest, and generally of
evil moral misunderstanding
of course, only to the peasants
of other days-the word began
to take on these secondary char
acteristics, and, at the third
step, nothing of the meaning
which the etymology suggests
survives. The peasant is en-
tirely lost, and the evil moral
conditions of him who is called
by this name alone remain. for,
in it's final stage, the epithet may
be as freely applied to the peer
as to the pauper. In fact,
thanks to popular fiction and the
even more popular screen, the
current INSTALLATION of viii
lain is that of a well-dresSed.
black-mustached, cigarette-smok-
ing person, bred within the
morally cramped confines of the
big city rather than raised in
the theoretically pure at
mosphere of the farm. Thus do
words swing around until their
meaning points in a direction
precisely opposite to that in
which they started.

CLARICE

WHILE Clarice has its origin IN
w the same root as Glare or Clara,
it's evolution progressed in far diff
ferent manner. The Latin adjective
clarus, meaning bright or famous, is
of course responsible for both names,
but where Glare followed the English
and French, Clarice is the product of
Italy.
The old Latin feminine of words
ending in cor" to signify the doer,
gas "ix"; in modern Italian this be-
comes "ice." Clarice, therefore, was
the feminine name SO evolved and
meant ''to make famous" 1t proved
popular throughout Italy, it's famous
bearer probably being the wife of
Lorenzo de Medici.
Though France already had Claire,
she adopted Clarice, giving soft "ss"
sound to the &C." This explains the
Clarissa which sprang up in England
and was given extraordinary vogue
by Richardson in his novel wherein he
made Clarissa his heroine. The pOpu-
larity of this book in France brought
forth Clarisse. 1t is not the first in

Matte Howard Broken Hearted When
Lover Is Shot to Death While Rob-

Kansas City, Mo.-Prison doors
closed recently on Matte Howard, the
most remarkable woman OF the under
world in the history of Kansas City.
Directly or indirectly she had been re-

men, and was herself implicated di-
rectly in at least one killing, for It
was for this crime that she was i'm
prisOned.
She appears to be a type morre COM

brilliant blonde, with slate-blue eyes
which won for her the title, "girl with
the agate eyes,"
Loved Gangster.
Matte Howard presently took up
with Albert Page, rising young
gangster who was just attracting the
attention of the police. Though she
took up with many men in the course
of her career, there is no doubt thas
the infatuatiOn for Pagle was the guild
ing impulse of her life. For year the
lovers lived together and then Pagle
was arrested and sentenced to five
years for highway robbery.
Matte was left broken-hearted but
began planning ways to raise money
to secure his release. She formed al
liances first with one crook and then
with another, and all were killed or
arrested while helping her raise money
by hOldups or other means.
Lover Shot After HoIdup.
With all this bloodshed Matrle was
still without the money that would
procure Pagle's release, but good be-
havior had cut down his sentence and
he was released one day and restored
to her. Three weeks later, he, too, was
dead. He was shot and dice from
wounds after he had killed the cashier
of bank he was trying to rob. Matte
was his companion on this fatal enter
prise, and it's tragic ending broke her
heart.
She organized the finest funeral the
underworld had ever seen. The room
was banked with flowers, she chose
the pallbearers from among the more
illustriOus thugs of the city, selected
the Biblical text for the funeral SER

the drive is not going to stop at a

1t is going on until the Legion's aim
to make the country free of veteran
unemployment has been attained.
Barracks and mess halls for those
whom work has not yet been found
are being operated by Legion auXil-

ployment offices, manned by eX-

of the drive. Chambers of Com
