In addition to the first tests made,
Mrs. Kay will make "follow up'
visits for the purpose of seeing the
defective conditions found by the
tests are receiving proper curative
treatment.
Beside working directly with the
school children, Mrs. Kay does a
large amount of home visiting, and
endeavors to help solve the many
healtk and social problems which
she finds. Mrs. Kay states that she
has never seen field where con
ditions demanded the work of a
county nurse more strongly than
they do here.
Mrs. Kay comes from the Univer-
sity of California and is thoroughly
prepared by both theoretical and
practical study to handle the situa-
alton existing here. She has an ex-
cellent personality for her chosen
work, and her presence here should
do much to improve the general
health conditions of the county.
Mrs. Kay stands ready to cooper
ate with the Rotary Clubs, the
chambers of commerce and other
organizations, or interested individ-
uals throughout the valley for the
purpose of raising the standard of
health and living.

Launch Movement
For Stamp Club

Formation of stamp-collecting
association in Imperial Valley has
been suggested by l.. p. Ball of this
city who has made hobby of
gathering stamps for several years
and now has an extensive collection.
Several other stamp collectors IN
the valley have broached the sub
ject of forming an association for
the purpose of trading and exchang-
ing stamps at various times but no
definite action has ever resulted.
Mr.. Ball stated today he would
like to hear from other collectors
and if possible arrange for a meet
ing in El Centre or some other val
ley city for the purpose of organ
izing. He can be reached at b. T..
Lemons funeral parlors in this city.
1t is understood there are many
local boys interested in this pas
time and these are all included in
the invitation to join the organi-
zGtion.

vention of the American Legion to be

aoethe,s Superb Faust.

Christopher Marlowe, an English
dramatic poet Of the Sixteenth en-,
fury, was the first to use the old leg
md of Faustus, and he deals rather
gently with the character of Mephis-
topheles, making him sadder and
more dlgnifed than he appears In
Goethe's drama. 1t was the German
poet who placed that demOniacal be-
ing before the world for all time, who
created that sneering, sardOnlc indi-
vIdual, powerful and eXacting, who
makes Faust sign their contract with
blood; brimful of vanity, anxious tC

WORDS OF NJ ORIGIN
Many OF Today's Most Common Ex.
p~resslons Can Easily Be Traced
to the ANGLES"

Perhaps the saddest Of English
words-the word which brings up
thoughts of grief and fear than any
other worlds ''death." This word
did not come to us from the classic
lands Of Greece and Rome. 1t was
one of the words of the Germanic peO-
pies and has been English ever since
English was. The Angles, who came
to Britain from what is now south
eastern Schleswig, called the land that
they invaded and helped TO conquer
"AngIeland" and from that word
England" "Anglische" or a word
something like it, came TO be Eng
lish." These Angles, and all the other
Germanic peoples, had this word
death" long before the English Ian
guage was spoken, and In the earliest
English we find the word spelled
"deth" and sometimes "deeth" and no
doubt from the spelling 'deeth" we
arrived at spelling death"
"Skull" was another word of our
Germanic forebears and it meant a
cup, bowl, or drinking vessel, and from
the shape Of mans head, as 1t ap-
peared long after death, the relic came
to be called skull" because its form
suggested a Skull" a "skOle," or a
"skal," or drinking vessel. We often
read Of northern barbarians who
drank out of Skulls" but it does not
necessarily follow that they drank out
of the skulls Of the dead men, but
merely from their household Skulls"
"skols," or "skals," which were their
bowls or cups of wood or stone.-
