Moorish women,s Dull Lives.

The Moorish woman's life Is never
very exciting or varied, and her many
domestic duties tie her to the house.
1t Is only on very special occasions
that she is permitted to go out; nnny
never go out at all. The lower-class
women are sometimes forced to at
tend the markets, and are not so par
ticular about covering their faces as the
rules Of their religion ordaln. No strict.
ly religious woman, however, will allow
any man but her husband to see her
face.
Some of the women are accom-.
plished musicians and dancers, and
sing to the accompaniment of their
weird native instruments. This is In
most cases their only form of
amusement. Some Of them are also
experts at weaving and making tapes
try.
Moorish women are seen at their
best in the country districts, where
one sees them going to well for
water with their earthenware pitchers
gracefully poised on their heads or
shoulders.

DERIVED FROM ROMAN NAME
Torn Scandinavian" Frequently Is In
correctly Used, According to This
Newspaper Writer.

The name Scandinavia" Is derived
from one the Romans gave to the
region now forming the southern part
of Sweden. Gradually it was applied
also to Norway on the western part
of the same peninsula, and then the
Danes, who occupy an entirely sep
arate peninsula, came to be included
in the term Scandinavian because
of their racial relationship to the two
countries TO which the term was ap-
pllcable geographically. AS the people
of Iceland are descended from Nor
wegian colonlsts they, too, may be
counted as Scandinavlans, and the
same holds true Of some Films Of
Swedish descent, though the general
population of Finland is ethnologically
no more Scandinavian than are Mag
yars.
The point is made by those Inter.
ested in clarifying the terms Scan
dinavlan" and Scandinavia" that one
should refrain from unqualified use Of
the former unless the first four at
least, of the nNtlonNlItles mentioned,
are being referred to collectively, and
the latter term should be uScd only to
Indicate the entire region occupied BY
these nations.-Detrot News.

Ten thousand chicks are raised
each year. from which are taken
1000 TO make up the laying aud
breeding hocks Of the farm.
"'Tancrcd farm stands for as
nearly perfection as it is possible
to obtain, " stated w. D. Buchan-
an, extension specialist in poultry
Of the State College. There are
few in the state Of Washington
who have done quite so much in
building up the poultry business
as did Mr., Tancred.
Zone mark of breeder is not
to have good stock on his place
alone, but to distribute the stock
over the state and have it produce
in some other place. "
In the eight breeding pens each
has a flock of chickens with rec
ords of over 300 eggs. "All chicks
must have high flock average, "
said Mrs. Tancred. "This was the
policy followed by Mr.. Tancred
and he always tried to maintain a
high flock average, rather than a
few individual high birds"
Light refreshments were serv-
ed before the party left for home.
W. W. Henry, county agent, was
in charge of the tour, which was
conducted under the auspices of
the extension service of the State
College of Washington and the

NATIONS DEBT TO WHITTIER
Poets Writings Gave Valuable Assist
ance to Large Number OF Phil
anthropic Movements.

John Greenleaf Whittier, the Quaker
poet, was born on farm near Haver
hill, Mass, In 1907, says the Detroit
News He remained on the farm until
he was nearly nineteen years old, d.
yidlng his time between field work
and shoemaklng. Whittier never for
got his connection with the gentle
craft" In early life, nor was he ever
ashamed to own fellowship with its
humble, but worthy members. What
he thought of the craft itself and the
spirit Of the men who have followed
1t may be learned from his lines ad.
dressed to shoemakers In the Songs
Of Labor" published in 1859.
Whlttier's vigorous, thrilling lines
gave assistance to every philanthropic
movement in the United States. For
many years he was the Hans Sachs or
Ebenezer Elliott Of the Liberation
cause Of Professionalism on the CONT
nent, to the work Of emancipation In
America, to that which the German
gave to the cause of Professionalism on
the continent of Europe, and the Eng
lishman gave to the labors Of the anti
corn law league In Great Britain.

Origin of Yankee"

Yankee is a cant name for Ameri-
cans belonging to the New England
states. During the Revolution the
name was applied by the British to
all the insurgents and during the
Civil war it was the common designa-
ton Of the federal soldiers by The
Confederates. In Great Britain the
term is sometimes improperly applied
generally to natives Of the United
States. Tho most common explanu-
ton of the term seems also the most
plausible, namely, that it is a corrupt
pronunciation of English or of French
"Anglnis" formerly current among the
American Indians.

DIFFER IN VIEWS OF LIFE
orientas Look at Existence In a Han
ner Radically Different From
the Westerners.

We feel that the things others desire
from life must be the same that we
desire. Yet, in fact, the races of Asia
and Africa-beyond the primitive
belly-need = make quite different
claims on life from ours. Most of
US desire, among other things and
above them, comfort and security; but
Asia and Africa take little account of
comfort and stiI less of security.
They want the Joy of living and n
chance to do their own living for
themselves; life not so much pro.
tected, but with color and excitement
In 1t, with the zest of creation and
accomplishment in t-a life in which
a heavy-handed man would have q
chance, and anybody could come to
the top. The life OF the Arabian

for they have been but little changed
by man, both In structure and In hab-

1t does not seem to be generally
known that there were no honey bees
in America before they were intro

Spanish settlers.
The old histories contain. however,
very few dates on the spread Of the

No Real Civilization
Without Effort

Chicago. Jan. 21.--It is a great mis-
take to suppose that under some form
of government or in some advanced
state of civilization people can cXist
without effort and live wholly at case
calvin Coolidge. vice president or the
United states. declared in speech to-
night before the Sunday Evening Club.
The opposite conclusion would he
more nearly correct" he continued 1T
requires less intelligence. less skilliul
effort to live among tribe OF SaVagcs
than to maintain existence under the
average conditions of modern society.
Independence, liberty and civilization
are hard to bear. 1t is not sloth and
ease. but work and achievement which
arc tho ideals of today.
"Sclf-control is arduouS: sclf-gov-
crnment is difficult. Always there is
the temptation that some element of
these should be surrendered in OK
change for security and ease. The ap-
peal to passion and prejudice always
lies in this direction. The proposal to
dispel all others of the possessions is
manifestation of the same spirit.
This is the reason that to certain of
OR native born, and more often to our
foreign born. the American republic
proves a disappointment. They thought
that government. meant the alb
sence of all restraint, that indcpen-
dence meant living without work, and
that freedom was the privilege of do
ing what they wanted to do"
