that is set at each place, the dinner
roll being tucked between the folds of
the napkin.
On some tables there Is always an
assemblage of condiment bottles of all
sorts, catsup, horseradish, tabasco
sauce and mustard, all in their original
containers and these are placed on
the table at every meal whether or not
they are the right sort of condiment
with the dishes to be served Now as
much as possible we should keep the
table free from these little accessories.
Serve the right condiment, preferably
in dish that shows ne sign of the
manufacturers name-with boiled beef
little mustard, with corned beef a
bottle of catsup or chilli sauce, ac-
cording to the tastes of the farlily.
If you have little or no service at
table, then it is best to place more on
the table than you would otherwise
The bread, freshly sliced, should be
set on the table before the meal is be-
gun. If the table is long there should
be two plates of bread. The glasses
should be filed just before the diners
are assembled and carafe Of cold
water may be placed on the table to
facilitate the replenishing Of the
glasses. This is preferable to the wa
ter pitcher. If individual salts and
peppers are not provided then there
should be one placed between each
two places toward the center of the
table.

crime of Aragon. Catherine de Valois,
queen of Henry V, brought it TO
France. Several of the queens of the
much-married Henry VIII bore the
name of Catherine
Kathleen, Kitty and Kate are
names of individual charm, vet they
spring from Katherine and are really
only translations, diminutives and con-
fractions of that most popular of femi-
nine names. No name is more univer-
sal than Katherine and her various
derivatives, partly from association.
The graceful Kathleen originated in
Ireland, after Katherine had become
established in England 1t is an adap-
tation Of the old Ossianic Cathlin,
meaning the ''beam of the wave' and
the name given to one of the stars.
Kitty and Kate are old English
names, which stand on their own
merits as individual names and are
frequently given in baptism. Katie is
the Scotch adaptation. Catherine, be-
longing absolutely to England, has
even produced a masculine counter
part. Catherine, Catherin Davita, the
famous historian, was so-called since
he was unfortunate enough to have
Catherine de Medici for his grand
mother.
In Italy, Santa Catherine is a term
of derision for an old maid. Many
hills have been named after Catherine,
the Votaress of Siena, and Ekaterin-
burg was so-called In honor of the Rus
sian empress.
In France. the name is Catherine,

Spain, we have Catalina Catarina is

Kathe and Trina are Teutonic. Ka-
tinka Is Russian, and Katrina and Ko-
line are Swedish. The Slovak adapta-
ton is Katrina
The talismanic gem assigned to
Katherine and her derivatives Is the
moss agate, which promises bold
heart and freedom from danger to its
wearer. 1t is an excellent amulet to
be worn by travellers and signifies a
journey when 1t is the subject of
dream. Tuesday is Katherine's lucky
day and two her lucky number.

DISABLED MAN AIDS BUDDIES
Hans Hunsdorf, ST. Paul, Victim Of
tuberculosis, Still Working for
EeIIoW-Sufferers.

Disabled himself, perhaps no man In
The Midwest is doing more active
work among disabled veterans of the
World war than Hans Hunsdorf, now
In the Aberdeen hospital at st. Paul,
MINI. Hunsdorf has personally inter-
ested himself in the cases Of his bud
dies" who are suffering from the eff
and is endearing himself to these men
by his splendid efforts in their behalf.
Hunsdorf was born In Eidswold, Nor
way, in 1873. At thirty-nine he en-
listed in the army at Fort Mcdowell,
CAL, and went TO France as a mechanic
with the One Hundred and Eighty
sixth Aero squadron, where he made a
splendid record. He received a certif1-
cate of disability in line of duty and is
now totally and permanently disabled
from the ravages Of tuberculosis. This
gave rise to long period of hospitali-
cation, during which time Hunsdorf
has been in seven government institu-
lions, beginning in France and ending
at st. Paul, where he is now patient.
Spurred on by conditions he saw in
these hospitals among his companions,
Hunsdorf set out by personal work to
relieve the troubles of those about him.
He has assisted hundreds in their
claims for compensation and similar
lines. He has attended every military
funeral which has occurred in his 10
cality, and has placed "the poppy Of
remembrance" on every coffin.
Recognizing the American Legion as
one of the agencies for affording relief
to World war veterans, Hunsdorf has
put much effort into securing members
for the organization. Since the open
ing Of the 1923 campaign he has per-
sonally written the applications Of 101,
though this is probably the least of his
service to the Legion. Without thought
Of the personal sacrifice involved, this
man, of foreign birth, has given I'M
stintedly for the country of his adop-
ton, and now facing defeat because of
the physical conditions brought on by
his sacrifices, still devotes himself to
the alienation Of suffering and anxiety
among his former comrades-at-arms.-

MARSHALL
KATHERINE

T IKE Mary, the charming name of
II Katherine, has an almost illimit-
able history, and its derivations and
contractions are endless. 1t signifies
pure, since it was first borne by a
maiden martyr, whose name was
chosen as the center Of an allegory of
intellectual religion. Katherine In
Greek became Catharina in the Latin
tongue. Going further back, it can be
found that this martyred Katherine
was a virgin martyr of Alexandria,
whose history Is unknown. Some his
torians credit her with being the
daughter of king of Egypt but this
contention cannot be subssantiated.
However it is, Katherine's purity and
sanctity are unmistakable.
The martyrdom of the original Kath-
crime is recorded in literature and art
the destruction of the wheels that
were to have torn her asunder; her
martyrdom by the sword. and the
translation Of her body by angels to
Mount Sinai, at whose foot stands
convent bearing her name, where she
is adored perpetually, are all familiar
themes to the masters of pen and
brush. Passing from the sublime to
the practical, the fireworks called
Catherine wheels are an al1usion to
the instruments of torture which were
destroyed by lightning and the tiny
Brown bird known as the Kittywren is
so-called from association as her sa-
cred bird.
The crusaders brought home the
story of Katherine's martyrdom and
her name spread in fame throughout
the West. The Italians had Santa
Caterina of Sienna, whose influence
was potent during the. Middle ages,
thus adding another link to the chain
of sanctity which surrounds the name
of Katherine.
Another famous Katherine was the
countess of Salisbury, heroine Of the
Garter. John of Gaunt had daugh-

AMERICAN
LEGION
TO STAMP OUT ILLITERAcY
Statewide Effort In Progress In Okla
homa Under Direction of the
American Legion.

A statewide effort for the stamping
out of illiteracy in Oklahoma is now
In progress under direction Of the
American Legion. Dr. Frank III. Mac
Gregor, chairman Of the department of
Americanism of the state Legion or
ganization, is in charge of the work
and has developed novel plan to edu-
cate those unable to read or write in
that state.
According to recent surveys, there
are 56,S64 illiterates in the state, Of
whom 5,463 are foreign born. 1t is
hoped that 1t will be possible to in
clude all persons coming under this
classification in the Legon's plan for
education. To this end the aid Of edu-
Gators, school organizations and Of
local officials has been enlisted through
Doctor MacGregor's Office.
The method to be used is known as
the Zones plan," so called from its
Introduction to the Greer county
schools by Will G. Jones, superinten-
dent and Legionnaire. The first step
is the organization of principals
clubs" whose members are the heads
of all schools In the district. The work
Of Americanization is thoroughly out
lined to these men, and they pay per-
sonal visits to every illiterate In their
district, offering assistance through the
Legion plan, tabulating notes and max
ing suggestions that may be of use to
volunteer workers. The volunteer
workers are to come from the teachers
and students In higher classes. One
person is adopted" by each Of these
workers. A course of reading, Eng
fish, simple arithmetic, and as the IL
literate progresses, civil government
and American history is given. The
plan is in operation in several schools
of the state, but it will not be put into
complete use until the terms open next
fall Doctor MacGregor declares that
II the work is undertaken In every
school within the next two years he
will be satisfied.
Doctor MacGregor, who resides In
Mangum, Okla, served for % months
overseas portion Of which was spent
In England. He was regimental sur
geon of the famous Scottish Highland
division-the Ladies' from HELP
for several months. He was decorated
by King George for "gallantry in &C
ton" during the second Marine cam
paign, and later became chief surgeon
of the British base hospital at Calais.
