Desire New Names

Prague, Nov. i "a. p. BY MaiD-
Revolution and change usher in a
general state of dissatisfaction with
things as they are. and a restless
desire for a new deal. Many things
go by the board. as Europe has
proved of late. before family names
are affected. ebut even these today
are not immune. The Office in Prague
where such changes must he record
ed now gets an average of ten ap-
plications a day. while before the
war 20 year was the most it ever
handled
\ radical or a revolutionist may
find in his name a reminder of the
old order he is working to change
and will seek legal authorization to
call himself something else. Czechs
often want to get rid of their old
German family names, and some
Germans think they will get on bet
ter here with Czech names: the new
ly rich find their old names too
simple. or even ridiculous in their
improved SURROUNDINGS; Slovaks ask
for Slovak names because they have
hungarian ones. and some Hungari-
ans think it the part of wisdom, for
the next few years. to move about
with a Slovak appellation.
So complaisant are the authorities
to this new idea that the bureau han
ding the business has been
mcaSurably enlarged.

fact. the meeting enthusiastically voted

Swedes Drink Les4
By Restrictive Rules

Stockholm. Nov. la. p. by MaiD
The total sales of hard liquor in
Sweden now average only one gallon
year for every man, woman and
child IN the kingdom, and the yearly
sales Of wine amount to less than
one pint per capita, according to the
official statistics made public by the
Liquor Control Administration.
The report states that the sales Of
spurious liquors in Sweden have de-
creased 42.2 percent since 1918, and
the quantity sold In 1922 was 32.1
percent less than in 1920. During the
last two years the sale of wines
fell off by 42.6 percent.
These figures show that the BRAT
System" of liquor control in Sweden
is reducing the volume Of drinking in
the country. According to this sys-
tenn any respectable adult who is
self-supporting, pays his taxes. and
is not addicted to alcoholism may OBJ
tain a pass book which when pre-
sented at a designated liquor store,
enables him to buy a certain guam
tity of spurious liquor for home con-
sumption. Not more than about a
gallon a month can be obtained on
this book. The record of the appli-
cant is kept. and IL it is found that
this privilege results in drunkenness,
the maximum may be reduced or his
book withdrawn. Sixty-three per-
cent of all the males in Sweden over
the age of 25 hold such books.

Chautauqua Has Good Record for
Year

Hallowell has every reason to be
proud of its record in Ghaqtauqua
this year. The public spirited citi-
gems who as workers and guarantors
made it possible are to be congratu7
lated as well as the citizens whose
generous response made their work
easier. There can be no doubt but
that a Chautauqua like that we have
been enjoying is a real community
service. 1t provides clean, worth
while amusement and real inspira-
ton to community bsttermept. The
money spent for this sort of recrea-
ton Is far better as an outlay than
1t would have been for the cheap
and questionable, which we some
times patronize for lack of the
worthwhile. Then there is real val
ue in the getting together OF the
community to put a thing ovef. And
q town maintaining ANNUALLY some
thing of this kind can afford to feel
satisfaction in its position with It's
neighbor towns. It is to be hoped
that we may not permit this truly
worthwhile community service to
lapse.

British Museum
Gets Flea Collection

London, Nov. 18.-Ihe scientists of
the natural history department of the
British Museum are delighted at a re-
nlarkable beQuest from tho late Ma
thanied Rothschild in the form of the
largest and most complete collection
Of heas in the world. The collection
comprises several thousand specimens,
each carefully preserved in a tiny
bottle.
Only wealthy enthusiast could ever
have gathered such an exhibition, for
no government would be willing to
spend the money which it cost Mr..
Rothschild to gather this collection.
and no scientific institution could af-
ford to do SO.
Mr.. ROthschild often commissioned
exploring expeditions to find for him
specimens of the feas infesting certain
animals and birds in far parts of the
world. and he is credited in press ac-
counts of the bequest with having
once financed an expedition largely for
the purpose of obtaining the flea of the
Arctic seal.
Major Austen of the insect depart
ment of the museum said tho collection
contained specimens of nearly all the
distinct kinds of fleas in the world
and that it was particularly valuable
for the study of their disease-carrying
properties.
Mr.. Rothschild was the worlds fore
most authority in this branch of study,
which he made peculiarly his own.

Saturdays chautauqua Draws Larse
Crowd


Saturdays Chautauqua drew large
crowds afternoon and eVsning. In the
afternoon was lecture by the SUPER
intendent, followed by a pleasing en-
tertainment of songs and readings by
the Batting Mailer Company. In the
evening the same company opened the
program with an entertainment Of
about a half hours duration. Miss
Batting proved an instantaneous sue
cess. Her readings and song poems
were amusing and extremely well done.
The audience laughed and laughed un-
til it's capacity for laughter was near
ly exhausted. Miss Mailer pleased
equally we'll though in an entirely diff
ferent way. She sang a number Of de.
lightful soprano solos. Not only de-
lightful singer, she is an accomplished
pianist. The lecture of the evening by
Harry r. MeKeen, "Your Community
in Revolution" was we'll worth hear
ing. Mr.. McKeen speaks from a wide
experience. He has been county school
teacher, city school principal. reporter
city editor, preacher, and "Y" worker
during the war. He is known now as a
community specialist. He is a rapid
as well as a forceful speaker. He ad-
vocated many worth while changes In
community life. In business, he said,
there should be more consideration Of
and work for the trading territory. He
advocated health reform and wide
changes in education policy His points
were well taken, aptly, illustrated and
firmly driven home.
