NRAFELING, even in these en-
HGhtened days. has its little
annoyances such as cinders
dining car meals and mistakes
IN luggage. The greatest of these an
noyances is the mistake in luggage
either accidental or Intentional
When accidental. the injured party
Is irritated without having any real
opportunity for working out a salts
factory balm for his grievance. 1t is
much the same as being bitten by a
swat the fly without causing undue
commotion and arousing the ire rather
than the sympathy of his neighbors.
But when the purloining of wrong
luggage is beyond any possibility of
being unintentional, then the victim
has the undiluted sympathy and as
sistance of his, or her, travelling COM
panions in securing vengeance and
the return of the stolen property.
This fact was delightfully."- illustrated
the other day on a Washington street
car, when girl who had a heavy
suit case boarded union station car
Because it was so heavy she left it on
the rear PLATFORM with the conductor
and took the only vacant seat near the
front of the car. However, she did
manage to sit SO that she could keep
an eye on her possessions. BY this
strategy she was fortunate enough to
notice Immediately when a man stand
ing on the rear platform picked up her
suit case and prepared to get off the
car. She dashed back and managed to
inform the conductor of her predica-
ment before following the man from
the car. Another masculine passenger.
Interested in the girls troubles. also
descended and aided her in the pur-
suit of the thief. The knew his crime
was intentional because he held
transfer for another point in his hand.
Contrary to the usual result in such
cases. the pursuerS caught the thief
and forced him to return the stolen
property. They then returned to the
street car. which the obliging conduc-
tor had held waiting during the ex-
citing race and capture. and proceeded
without further trouble on their way.
The young lady and her luggage were
safely deposited on the station plat
form and the street car, resumed Its
placid course.
All of which simply goes to show
it isn't always a case of the villain
who still pursues her, but that some
times the tables are turned around.

Getting Rid of Double Chin.

A beauty specialist recently remarked
that there was no excuse for a double
chin. I had to agree with her. since /
know that a double chin comes from
overeating or from a careless manner
Of carrying the body.
OF course, the muscle laxness that
comes with old age will cause some
natural sagging, and II the person is
accommodating fat over the whole body
the sagged skin will soon be filled out
into a pouch. forming roll under the
original chin.
The first step toward Kidding oneself
Of this Disagreement should be a gen.
eral reduction to the proper weight,
and ice rubs to tighten up the muscles.
A local treatment that will also help.
Is one in which the flesh is kneaded
with the fingers as il 1t were soft dough.
followed by massage. beginning at the
throat and stroking out to the tip Of
the chin. To do this use the palm Of
either hand and stroke with a light
pressure, after the manner Of using a
fiatiron on cloth.
An exercise that will help much is
accomplished by dropping the jaw a
little and throwing back the head as
far as is possible without strain. Shut

RACIAL oRioIN-Medieva Eng
iIsh; also Welsh.
SoURcE-A given name.
Robert was one Of the most popu-
lar of Christian names in the middle
ages in England, more so by far than
today, and as an inevitable result the
family name of Roberts today is most
widespread, as are also the many
variations from it.
Probably no better illustration
could be chosen of the manner in
which family names of that class de-
rived from given names developed.
The origin of all the variations
mentioned in this article, which, by
the way, fall far short of completing
been along normal and obvious lines.
AS given name Robert is of Teu-
tonic origin, coming from two roots,
"hruod" in the early Frankish
tongue ("hruotha' in Scandinavian:
meaning fame" and the old word
common to all Teutonic tongues sig
nifying bright" which in German
names has developed into "brecht or
"precht" and in English names into
bert"
Robin was very common Varia-
tion of the given name in old Eng
land, as was the contraction Rob.
From the former has come Robinson,
Robson. Robins and Robinett. the
last-named through the use OF the
Norman French diminutive "ct."
Robertson. of course. is simply Rob
erts son." and Robson is 'Rob's SON.
Probert and Probyn are forms of the
name developed in Wales from "Ap-
Robert" and "Ap-Robyn." the zap"
being similar to the Gaelic 20" and
Mac" and the Norman French
"Fitz." and serving the same purpose
as the AnSlo-SaXon ending. son"

 MEN SHOULD WALK MORE

WASHINGTON, May g - General Charles G. Dawes, the Presidents eco- nomy engineer, keeps "fit' by taking long hikes.
 "A long walk in the early morning air of spring is the best tonic on earth" said Dawes.
 What the jaded business man needs is more hiking and less riding accord ing to Dawes.
 "Too many jaudiced business men are sweeping themselves rapidly to- ward the grave by living lives of ease and luxury" Dawes said.
 General Dawes, before breakfast each day, whets his appetite by stretching out for four or f1ve-mlle iaunt through the parks and bride paths that extend for miles through Washington's speedway. It's his chlei recreation.

Dusty Rhoades (Wallace Reid), an auto racing driver, loves Virginia, daughter of Patrick McMurran, who manufactures the Pakro motor truck. The latter prefers trucks to racing cars and can't see Dusty as son in-law. To get on the old mans right side, Dusty agrees to pull off some publicity on behalf of the Pakro truck to assist MacMurran in getting a big order from the Cabrillo Irrigation Go.
 Dusty's first stunt is to drive a Pakro truck out on fashionable bou- levard and get himself arrested. Then he loans Pakro roadsters to the traffic cops and gets Patrick arrest ed. Whereupon Patrick fires him. In disgust, Dusty returns to the racing game for the Christmas races.
 Meanwhile, Pat gets publicity idea of his own. He takes a Pakro truck and brings a load of Christmas trees out Of the mountains for the kiddies. But the truck breaks an axle and Pat retires to his country home with Vir- ginia This is located in a valley, which is protected by the Cabrlllo company's big dam.
 A fierce storm rages. The dam weakens and is about to give way. Learning of this, Dusty organizes a gang of racing drivers to pilot Pakro trucks into the valley and bulwark the dam. He saves the day. The Ca brillo company orders Pakros and Dusty wins Virginia. Wallace Reid in What's Your Hurry at the Elm press Theater tonight.
