Peace officers OF the North
west are assisting Seattle police
in their search for well-dressed
,yprnan bandit who held up the
manager of the Piggy Wiggiy
store at 23l y. Broadway early
Monday morning at the point OF
gun, escaping with SEQ in
Ford touring car.
A description OF the woman and
her companion was flashed 10 pc
leo and sheriffs' offices In various
parts OF the state within a short
timo after the hoidup. as II is
believed the woman VIII attempt to
flee the city. if she has not already
done so.
Arthur Mcdonald, manager Of
the store. who was held up by az.
other daylight bandit last Tuesday
and robbed of sss. declared Alon1ay
that the woman coolly covered
him with a IS calibre Colt as .shs
scooped up the Saturday receipts
he was counting.
LITTLE GIRL Is

Tho crime took place before the
startled eyes of a 1a-year-oId girl.
Eva James, OF I'll f. John St,
who followed the woman from the
store after the crime and saw her
lump into a Ford touring car.
half a block from the store, in
which a man sat at the wheel
The engine WIS running as trhe
woman got in, the car drove rapid
ly south on Broadway. The license
plates were covered with brown
paper.
According to Mcdonald. he was
counting his Saturday receipts
about s o'clock when weIl.dressed
woman, about IS years old. stepped
up to the counter. carrying q
Drown paper bag.
As she set the bag on the
counter she remarked: Put il
in here" Mcdonald laughed,
thinking the woman was testing
with him about the holdup of
last week.
STARTLED AS SifE
MAKES DEMAND
Still smiling, Mcdonald laid down
the bills and glanced into the
paper bag. Seeing nothing hut
bar of soap, he asked pleasantly:
rs that all you want?'
NO" replied the woman as she
poked her gun at Mcdonald from
behind the sack, Il want that
money"
Mcdonald, startled, made no move
for a moment but she urged him
to speed with the remark:
Il am serious. 1t means 20
years for me If / am caught and
want that money right away"
Watching the gun, Mcdonald ele-
ya'eG his hands while the woman
scooped the bills he had been
counting into the sack containing
the bar OF soap.
While the little girl was
frightened witness of the holdup,
hiding behind show case. the
woman turned rapidly to leave, Eva
following her from the store.
URGES HER NOT

AS Mcdonald reached for his
phone TO cali the police. Eva saw
the woman enter the car and ran
back to tell him. During the prog.
ress of the holdup. Mcdonald had
urged the woman not TO frighten
the little girl with display OF

A Shadow Our Defense From
Shadows,

In the shadow of the wings will take
refuge.-Ps. lvii1.
God protects His children as the
mother bird covers her nest.
High in the air the hawks go SAIL
ing by. but they cannot reach the
hest; even their shadows cannot fall
on 1t.
Jesus said: 20 Jerusalem, Jerusa-
lem, how often would I have gathered
thy children together. even is hen
gathereth her chickens under her
wings"
1t is the same figure. conSecrated
by the Divine lips: and it teaches us
that there is a great sheltering love
which is closer to us than any evil
can ever come. hiding US securely.
not only from harm, but also from
fear.
Here is the peculiar beauty of the
simile: 1t makes a. shadow our de-
fense from shadows.
The only thing that can really
darken the soul is something coming
between it and God, but that is i'm
possible so long as the soul remem-
bers His presence and love.
The troubles and pains of life are
all outside of that; they are away be-
'yond the protecting wings, floating
by, like little clouds, like lowering
hawks; we can wait in security until
these "calamities be overpast."
Troubles far off; God very near
Calamities belong to time; peace is
part of eternity.

three-fourths of an inch long. They
mature the first year and hang on
to the branchlets over winter.
The wood of the hemlock is of little
value, though sometimes used for
railroad ties and in the framing of
houses and barns. while the bark is
its chief commercial product. This
is stripped off and used in tanning.
For landscape planting the hemlock
has considerable favor. though a near
relative, the Carolina hemlock. which
has longer leaves and is still more
graceful than the species under con-
sideration, is rapidly gaining in favor
for this purpose In the northw est
and Alaska there are two other
species OF hemlock which are being
used by landscape gardeners in Eu-
rope.
The eastern hemlock ranges from
Labrador and Minnesota south to
| Delaware and along the mountains
to Georgia and Alabama. There are
numbers in the parks of Washington
and along the Potomac, particularly
on the Virginia shore near Great
Falls and Chain Bridge. The tree
illustrated is growing near the north
west corner of the Smithsonian In
Stitution.

The hemlock is one of the most
beautiful and best known of our conf
fers. 1t is a pyramidal tree. 60 to 100
feet high. resembling the spruces in
general form, though more graceful
and feminine. The branches are slen-
der, horizontal and dropping, with
twigs extremely soft and slender and
foliage that at a slight distance is
feathery and plumelike. The Indians
of New York named the tree "Oh-neh-
tah"-meaning greens-o on-the -stick /;
this perhaps because the green foli-
age remains on the tree throughout
the year.
The leaves or needles are about a
half inch long, fiattened. green above,
paler beneath. and a distinguishing
feature is that, though spirally ar
ranged. they extend out in two ranks
from opposite sides of the twig form

RACIAL ORIGIN-AngIo. Saxon.
SOURCE-A place name.
If the blonde Saxons who
anciently inhabited a certain tiny
little village near the sea in England
could have seen visions of the future
as they leaned upon their huge battle
axes, what a vision they would have
seen-the name of their little village
synonymous with that of the govern
ment of a land far beyond the sea,
larger than their conception of all
space, and with greater number Of
inhabitants than their language could
conceive or express.
For, of course, the capital of the
United States is named after the
Father of His Country" and the
family name of Washington was
taken originally from the place name,
from the name of that little village
inhabited by the fair-haired Saxon
warriors from the village of "Weis-
iEgdun."
The name of the village was. in
the language of the Saxons, descrip-
tive of its location, from 'weis."
meaning tidewater creek; ing"
meaning meadow, and dun"
fortified place.
AS the family name first appeared,
it was descriptive of the locality from
which its bearers came, and took
the form of we Wessyngton." the
"de" being the Norman French for
''of" or FROM" Slurring of speech
accomplished the change to Washing
ton by the time the forebears of
George Washington reached America.
