DORCAS

TIME quaintest and most charming
\ of old-fashioned names is DOrcas,
now regarded as a Puritan name, but
once in general and widespread usage.
It signifies "a gazelle" and, curiously,
Its significance has become so much a
part Of the name that Its psychic ema-
nations would seem to influence its
wearer toward modesty and shyness Of
bearing.
Dorcas comes from the Greek word
which indicates the full, dark eye of
the gazelle. St. Luke makes Dorcas
identical with the Aramean Tabitha,
another name very popular in Puri-
tanical nomenclature. According to
the Scriptures, Dorcas was a woman
raised from the dead by Peter at Jop-
pa. She was a Christian disciple who
had made coats and garments" for
the poor. For this reason, church sew
ing societies are frequently called Dor
cas- societies and the aura OF charity
surrounds the quaint little name.
The diamond is the talismanic gem
assigned to Dorcas. 1t is said to give
her superior strength, fortitude and
courage, and, If worn upon her left
arm, will protect her from all advers-
lty. Sunday Ia her lucky day and 8
her lucky number The violet, signi-
tying modesty, is her flower.

DEFoE's ARoRINsoN cRusoE"

A sea captain who has not only
sailed the seas, but has read books
writing in the Mentor, has this
theory about the production Of
Robinson Crusoe":
'Defoe most likely constructed
Crusoe's man Friday, from accounts
of Poor VIII a Mosquito Indian,
who evidently was very ingenious
man, as he could make fire by strik-
ing the flint Of his gun against the
BARRE, and with it heated iron and
the like.
ct is related that Daniel Defoe
used to meet Alexander Selkirk at
the Red Lion inn, in Bristol, Eng.
Clad in goatskins, the sailor used
to recount wondrous tales of his ex-
ploits and hardships. Defoe placed
his hero on an island off the Orino
co, in Venezuela, because he knew
that location better, but Juan Fer
nandez was the actual scene of SEX
kinks experience"

SMOKERS CAUSE FOREST FIRE
Motorists League Cats Figures rom
All Over the United
States.

An increase in forest fires through
out the country was shown In reports
by state forestry officials to the
Motorists League for Countryside
Preservation. The report says the
increase is due to careless tossing OF
cigars and cigar stubs from automo-
biles into pine needles and bushes
along the road.
The Pennsylvania department OF
forestry estimates that 1918 fires,
which burned 81, 0S7 acres of timber
in 1922, were caused by motorists
and picnicking or camping parties,
and that figures for 1923 will show
even greater loss
Supervisors at the Boise National
Forest, Idaho, report that one-third
of the fires there started the same
way. In Connecticut last year j.
1877 fires were reported and more
than $4,000 acres of timber de-
stroyed, chiefly young trees.
Maryland reported 22O forest
fires, and New Jersey and Arizona
also had huge losses.
The Motorists League for
Countryside Preservation was
started last spring. President
Harding was its head.

Cannot Abridge the Rights
Of Her Own Citizens in
Order to Uphold Ameri-
can Laws.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL
Special Cable to The San Antonio Light
and The Chicago Daily News.
DOWNRIGHT 1923.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 19.-Inquiries
at the Canadian ministry of justice
warrant the statement that the
Dominion government will do all in
its power TO Obviate participation from
this side of the border in violations
of the prohibition laws of the United
States. Ideas like the following are
found in the minds of the Canadian
judiciary:
1. That all civilized states are
interested in the sanctity of law and
are therefore bound morally to aid one
another. so far as possible, in main
tanning public respect for it. /.
.. That nevertheless, every nation
in the last resort, must enforce its
own laws and that the United States
is presumed to be as capable of do
ing this as any other country.
5. That Canada, with the best
will in the world, cannot be expected
TO violate its own laws-that is,
abridge the legal rights of its own
citizens-in order to uphold American
laws. ....
4. That legislators should move
cautiously when considering proposed
laws which are likely TO arouse hos
tility and provoke the disobedience of
millions Of persons who have other
wise been proved to be of law abid-
ing predisposition.
Not Far From Drink.
Apropos of the last point it is
argued that lawmakers are chiefly
responsible for the evils that flow
from unenforcable laws. This obser-
vation is made by responsible Cana
dian jurists without implying that
the particular legislation in question
the American enforcement prohlbi-
tion LAWS unenforcable. Whether
it is uncomfortable or not they leave
to the arbitrament Of events.

the province known as France in
Canada. containing one-third OF all

its liberty respecting alcohol and is
amassing great wealth from it.
This wealth it is putting into edu-

improvements. Alcohol is making
millions for Quebec not alone as the
result of its own sale, but because
it attracts to cities like Montreal
crowds of visitors who pour out their
money in the hotel, theaters, restau-

tinue indefinitely to suffer this great
disadvantage. Already the cities OF
provinces like Ontario are restless
and resentful against the rural dis
tricts that have forced prohibition
upon them.
At the time Of the confederation
the provinces surrendered certain
rights in return for dominion sub
sides. Quebec does not need her
subsidy now. She probably will not
draw it but leave it to accumulate
and earn interest, and one day she
will have a large amount to add still

cational and material boons Of her
people.
THESE conditions not only breed
interprovincial jealousies, but they
arouse bitterness between town and
country and involve violations Of law
similar to those with which the bulk
of Americans are familiar. Thus it
will be seen that Canada has other
liquor troubles than those between
herself and her big neighbor to the
south. Her statesmen hardly expect
Washington, in this perplexing mat
ter, TO demand miracles of Ottawa.
