In her work. =,
And ns result she began gradually
to unfit herself for any work.
Her nerves got so sensitive and taut

set her in frenzy Of fear.
Did the teaser really mean It! Had
she failed in that piece Of work? Would
II cost her her job? Was she really
slipping?
she realized that It was time to Gull

Monday morning dawned bright and

The scared little girl got awake. and
found that her plain talk had done her

She went to her work and snubbed
the fear and trembling so thoroughly,
that II did not dare show its face oil

That night for the first time in weeks
she slid off to sleep without that de-

Can You Tell?
How the Week Of Seven Days
Originated
BIZ R. j. and A. ". Bodmer

The Babylonian priests who arranged
our original calendar took the great
heavenly bodies which they had idcnti.
fed with their seven great gods. and
developed the week of seven days-one
for the special worship Of each god.
These heavenly bodies included the sun.
moon. Jupiter. Venus, Mercury, Mars
md Saturn.
Some people explain our week as
originating from the Bible story Of the
crcation--God creating the world In SIX
days and resting on the seventh. Others
hive claimed it originated from divid-
ing the lunar month OF twenty eight
days into four equal parts. Our week
MS n division OF time did not. however,
originate in either of these ways.
The Babylonian priests. simply des
ignatcd lays on which their planet gods
should be worshiped. Their scheme
really worked this idea out througl'
days Of twenty four hours. They mr.
ranged the planets in the order of their
distance from the earth rs understood
bN them. Beginning with Saturn.
farthest away. their order was: Sat

curry and moon. They thought the sun
was between Mars and Venus. Tho
first hour Of the first day they gave to
Saturn, and the next hour to the next
p'anet. On this basis the twenty fiftk
hour or first of the second day fell to
the sun and the forty ninth hour or

This boy seemed to think quite a lot OF

to the fact that have gone out with q

late, who seems to think quite a lot Of
me, too. Although the first boy acts
indinerent. he has made several re-
marks to friends Of mine that seem to
signify that he still cares for me-
Is there any way In which could
