ORIGINATED THE GOLD STAR
Medal Showing Appreciation Of the
Idea Is Presented to j. M.
Buck of Omaha, Neb.

A medal purchased with funds given
by the governors of many states, Gen
eral Pershing and a hundred notables
in civil and military circles, has been.
presented to ]. NJ. Buck Of Omaha,
Neb., who originated the gold star
which was placed on the caskets of all
war dead to be returned TO this coun-
try from European battlefields.
Omaha was a distributing point for
the United States graves registration
service. After the federal agency be-
gan to return bodies from overseas,
thousands Of caskets passed through
Omaha. Mr.. Buck suggested to the
Omaha American Legion that a gold
star be placed on each soldiers casket
The Legion Immediately accepted the
idea and through the Legion's organi-
cation, the custom of placing the star
on all soldiers caskets in all parts Of
the United States was adopted.
Every contingent of soldier dead ar
irving at Omaha was met at the rail-
way station by delegation from the
American Legion. Mr.. Buck always
accompanied the Legionnaires and su-
pervised the placing Of the stars on
the caskets. The medal was presented
Mr.. Buck as an expression OF anpreci.
alton Of his work.

BE FRANK.

TT ALWAYS pays to be frank.
= But it is just as important that
one be frank with himself as with
others. Too many are unappreciative
of the privilege of having others help
bear their burdens. If they recog-
nized the happiness and benefit which
is certain TO come through frank
statement of the true conditions
which, cause them worry, great
many would gladly face the world
openly and find it always anxious to
help them through rough pathways.
Stevenson, doubtless, had this in
mind when he declared:
II we find but one to whom we can
speak our hearts freely, with whom we
can walk in love and simplicity. without
dfssimula tion We have no ground for
auarrels with the world or with God.
1t is doubtful if anyOne-regard-
less of their position socially and
financially-is without one sincere
friend or more in whom he can place
absolute confidence. To such friends
there is certain to come a feeling of
sympathy for those they love In event
they are familiar with the problems
causing unhappiness and pain. If
everyone. when in trouble. would go
to such friends and frankly state their
position and the difficulties with
which they are faced. ii is more than
probable that the response would be
immediate and sure. But, by eva
sion. Indifference and deceit, no one
is likely TO gain the sympathy and
aid of those who can do most to make
their burdens light.

EAIAIELINE
By MILDRED
MARSHALL

Z MMELINE Is another of the fem
IL mine names produced from the
root Anal, OF which Amelia has been
discussed. But Emmeline. which has
often been enormously confused as
derivative of Emma, has an interest
ing history. The name, which is
translated TO mean work serpent
has no connection other than by SINH
Iarity of letters, with Emma, which
means grandmother.
Emmeline came into existence
through the queens of Navarro and
the Asturias. The sister of Sancho
/ of Navarro, who married Alphonse
the Great. was called Amelina. But
the ladies' of Navarro were not con-
tent with a single name-they must
have equivalents. So Amelina was
also Simena and Ximena.
Ximena survived the longest of any
of her other names and came TO be
popular in all classes. The wife of
the Cid was so called but the French
turned her into Chimene. The English
promptly called this strange name
Emmeline. and even France now has
an Emeline. The form Emylyn, which
appears in old ballad poetry, is iden-
teal with Emmeline.
The latter name is bit long for
Americans. and though it is properly
given in baptism. IL. unfortunately,
TOO quickly degenerates into the
handy ~Emmy"-which is no name
at all
Jasper is Emmeline's taiismanic
gem. This brilliant green stone will
drive away evil spirits and prevent
the bites of yenomous creatures. par
