Something TO
Think AbOut
DARWINIAN THEORY
By f. II. WALKER

WYE ARE reading a great deal
w these days about the Darwinian
theory. The newspapers tell US that
Kentucky. famed for It's blue grass. its
blooded horses, beautiful women and
chixairous mea, is deep in the study
of its Involved perplexities.
All the way from school houses
TO the 'leDtncky senate, the ques-
ton Of mans relationship with moni.ey
Is being discussed with fervor.
The world Is pricking up its ears,
arching lis eyebrows and looking
askance upon the creatures. who, ac-
cording TO the Scriptures, were created
in Gods image.
Just how will all this controversy
benefit you and me?
VIII it make us better men and
women. elevate our minds to a high
er sphere and give US greater power
for usefulness?'
Power gravitates 70 those who can
use it. not 10 the wavering nor the
weak. Ii belongs to those who have
faith, who believe as child and ac-
cept biblical statements without ques-
tion.
Who among the sons of men knows
himself? Who by gazing in his or
her looking Aass can see himself or
herself? The body which encases self
is all that can be seen. yet who doubts
that self the image of God exists:
Who questions the truthfuness Of
the Bible, the origin of man, or tie
omnipotence Of Him who created the
heaven and the earth?
Is il for the atom of dust to deny:
so God created man in His own
image, in the image of God created
He him; male and female created He
Them
Let us not 20 out Of our way TO seek
the dark places. whose mysteries musI
forever baffle humdn understanding.
There IS more joy in the sunshine
more happiness in useful effort, more
pleasure in the acceptance of exist
ence as it is, more delight in self-ab-
negation and in doing good TO others,
than in the painstaking avoidance Of
childish faith.
IL is not for us to become craZed
about frisky monkeys. nor for us TO
try to make monkeys of ourselves.
But II is for us to work. to think
good thoughts, to put unbelief and
doubt far behind us and make our
selves more worthy of the infinite love
the only anchor which will hold secure
iii this life and In the life to come. >

TIME MASTERS

THE gentleman who comes into
y your Office. when he knows you
are busy, and sits down for friend
Is little chat, must be got rid of.
If lac Is intelligent, you can get
rid OF him without hurting his feelings.
If he is stupid, it viii be necessary
To hurt his feelings.
But get rid OF him you must,
whether his feelings are hurt or not.
Efficiency experts could figure. no
doubt, that many thousands Of work
ing hours 90 to waste every year be-
cause busy people are too good ma
uIred TO invite idlers to get out Of
their Offices.
Most Of the precautions taken by the
"hard to get To" business men are not
due TO their haughtiness, but TO their
knowledge of the value OF time.
II every small business man could
surround himself with inner and outer
guards, To keep pests from bothering
him, lie might soon cease TO be u small
business man, and become big one.
III most offices the clerical force
and the general employees are not TO
be seen during business hours. 1t re-
quires a very intrusive person to get

But the boss Or the manager has
always some friend he hates 10 of
fcnd who will drop in during bust
ness hours. and consume several dol
lars worth of time without blush.
The victim of these gentlemen would
far rather they would come to his
house uainyited. and consume his
food unlimited than to come uninvited
to his Office. and consume his most
valuable commodity which is time.
Ii may be that you are one of those
who will lean back in your chair and
listen to business-hour visitors who
bring no business To talk about. rather
than ask them to call out of business
hours. II you are. break yourself of
the habit.

Tell them as kindly as you can that
you are busy and ask them to 90.
If they get offended, their friendship
is not worth having.
And if you happen TO be one of the
time wasters-well, break yourself of
the habit, before your. feelings are
hurt.

MABEL

MABEL is translated to mean be
ASA loved and certainly the name has
right to its significance, since 1t
comes from the word meadhail, mean
ing "joy." The fashionable miss Of TO-
day who spells her good Old-fashioned
name 'Maybelle" does not realize that
she is trying to paint the lily; no
name more redolent of poetry exists
today than Mabel.
Mabel appears first as Meadhbh.
The daughter of Eochaid Freidhleach,
king OF Erin, was so called and was
such a beloved heroine of Irish ro-
nance that Congal Claen, according to
the old story, bid the men of Can
naught. her husbands kingdom, to
"Remember Meave in battle"
Meave, the diminutive of Meadhbh,
became popular in Ireland and, in
honor of its first possessOr, was be-
slowed on the Queen Of the Fairies.
Irish settlers brought her fame TO Eng
land where she was made immortal
by Shakespeare and Ben Jonson.
Mabel means beloved" a signifi-
canoe probably given by the Irish who
are naively fond of fairy stories. In
France she is called Mabelle The
name is too Kettle to appeal to the
Latin countries, so she has no equiva-
Tents in Spain and Italy. Maybelle is
merely an affectatiOn and has no
raison d'etre except in the realms of
fashion.
Coral is Mabels talisman stone. It
gives its wearer wisdom and bodily
strength, possessing the power TO fade
in color as a warning of fatigue or
disease. If 1t is broken or even
Clipped, this power vanishes. Monday
is MabeTs lucky day and two her
lucky number.

DOES YATES RUN OFF
A DUCKS BACK? %

Y XANINATI0N of the feathers with
IL which the back of a duck is
covered win show that these are
placed So that they overlap, in the
same way that shingles are placed on
on "A roof or scales on the body of
fish. And the purpose of this over
laDping is the same as, in the case of
the shingles or the scaleS-to prevent
wafer seeping through and causing in
jury.
IN addition TO this protective growth
Of feathers, the duck has a form of
water-inSurance in the shape of an
oily secretion which is formed by the
glands at the base of the feathers
and which permeates the feathers
themselves. rendering them thorough
ly waterproof and impervious TO the
weather. BY this combination of
"sllingleds feathers and oil. the duck
IS assured that no water win get
through his body covering and injure
the tender skin beneath-for. even
If his oil glands should cease to func-
ton. he still has the protection Of
several layers of close-lying feathers.
or, if his feathers should thin out,
lie can depend upon the oily secretion
to shed the water. Only birds which
are ny nature intended To be ut home
in the water possess this protective
OIL gland. (Copyright)

by the barn, sending all the hens
scrambling away. for they were sure

All day long Weathercock lay on
his side in the mud, and all night too.
and he began to wonder If, after all,
there was much fun in doing nothing.
'Retter be up there whirliRg around

Just then the farmer came along
and seeing Weathercock on the ground
he picked him up and carried him into
the barn, where he gave him a new
coat of paint, and the next hay put
him back on the pole on the barn.
Weathercock went swinging mcrrily

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"pIN-MoNEY"


DUIiING the Sixteenth and
- Seventeenth centuries pins
were SO extremely expensive
that only the wealthy could af-
ford them. BY a curious law,
the manufacturers of pins were
permitted to sell them on only
two days each year-January l
and 2-and when those days
came around the women whose
husbands could afford the eX-
penditure secured ''pin-money"
from them for their purchases.
While Savages have, for ages,
used thorns and splinters for
the purpose of Joining bits of
hide or making garments OF
leaves, pins-as we know them
today-did not come into use
until the early part of the Four
teenth century. They were in
troduced into England in 1910
but it was not until 1924 that
an American named Might in
vented a machine for manufac-
turing pins very rapidly, and
now more than 1900 tons OF
iron and brass are annually con-
verted into pins in the United
States alone, condition which
renders entirely obsolete the
original meaning of the phrase
pin money" which, however,
still persists as a synonym for
IAN allowance given by a hus-
band 70 wife to cover her per-
sonal expenses"
