far away from the little opening IN
tho end OF the can as he possibly
could. But he was ready to take ad-
vantage of amy opportunity that
might offer.
So when that old can landed on the
top of that pile of brush, instead OF
coming with Z hard thump on the
ground, as Danny lad expected
Danny peeped out to discover wha;
1t meant. One quick glance and he
understood. Danny darted out OF
that old tin can and down into that
great pile of brush Just as Yowlcr
leaped up after the old can.
Danny can move quickly when he
has TO. He had come out of that old
can and gone down into that pile or
brush almost as quickly as you could
wink your eye. Clear down 10 tho
bottom he worked his way. and then
he drew long breath.
He heard Yowler land on the milo
Of brush. He heard YowIer poltinr
at that old can. Then he hea rd Vow
Ter sniff. He was shifting at the open
ing OF that can to make sure ,hat
that Mouse was still inside. when
capped he flew into d rage. An an
grier Bob Cat never was seen He
knew just what had happened Ho
knew that Danny had been smart
and down under that pile of brush
He knew that If he hadn't knocked
that old can up on that pile Of bruz Il
Danny wouldn't have had this chance.
My, my, my, how that Bob Cat die
Snarl and spit and growi and tear ~
that great pile of brush! Danny,
down underneath, could hear it al
1t Was dreadful to hear, but Damn
no longer feared for his life. H.,
knew Iowler couldn't possibly pul.
that pile OF brush to pieces, and that
after while he would give up and
go away. This is exactly what Vow
ler did do. But il took him all tn.
rest OF that day to get over hi3 bad
temper.

The Weather.

The most interesting thing about the
weather is it's emphatic way Of doing
precisely what 1t wishes regardless Of
the walls and wl,!mpers OF those who
live under it. II the weather decides
that the sky shall be high and blue,
with dabs OF white clouds floating by
on q snappy bit of wind. nothing on
earth can change the program. High
and blue it Is. and make the most OF it..
OF course, tho weather may change
its mind at the ficke1ns OF a dew
drop and the sky comes down and
strings of pearls.
Fickle, provoking, the weather picks
out cold, gray vaulting, shifty north
wind and a douse of moisture and
land of exquisite, dazzling beauty that
thrills with its purity and stuns with
its majestice aloofness.
Can you touch a snowstorm? No,
nor paint 1t, nor nix 1t in any way save
as a haunting. fieeting memory Of the
earth made clean. 4 masterpiece Of
weather.
Yet people are afraid of the weather
The children cannot go to school be-
The east wind is bad for them and the
wind will whip their faces and chill
their poor little hands. Isn't it sad?
Isn't 1t silly?
Weather won't hurt children if they
are prepared for it and taught to en-
joy it. There Is health, joy and in
spiration in it, If only the house bound
elders will stop complaining long
enough to sense it. Youth has moth
ing to do with chills, and fears, and
breads of the rain, snow and wind
Left to themselves. the children would
never think OF the weather as some
thing that held them in the house
with the cats and kittens.

We coasted on the hills and slid on

thought of sending the carriage after

Evening Use Of Long White Gloves
BY MARY MARsHALL.

Tirne was. when girl would all
most as willingly have gone to
dance sans stockings as sans gloves.
Not to have available pair OF per-
<ectly fresh long white gloves was
GOOD reason for lremaining at home.
And we used even to wear long white
gloves TO dinner parties, too-didn't
we" There was quite a trick about
slipping ones hands out Of them and
tucking them neatly under to be out
or the way when one ate.
And now they say that the long
white glace kid glove is returning
FOR formal evening wear: At the
morse show and the opera II vas ap-
parent earlier in the winter, and at
every first-night performance since
them where fashionable folk have
gathered YOU may have seen women
N the boxes wearing long white
gloves as they did fifteen and twenty
Tears ago. They are drawn up over
the elbow leaving the top OF the
upper arm bare when sleeveless
frock is worn.
How ugly" commented some OBJ
servers.
Rather smart" said others.
And so began the debate-whether
or not the revived long white glove
rould become an established fashion
Tor evening.
There is this much about it--a fact
-ather significant. Bracelets are still
irc high favor. Women are still en-
rhusiasttc about wearing them. Tn
doubtedly one OF the reasons why
French women discarded the long
evening glove so completely was be-
cause they liked TO show their arms
decked with bracelets. And the
bracelet fad has by no means spent
its energy either here or abroad.
Some bracelet enthusiasts even wear
them over their gloves.
One thing seems evident--that IF
you do wear long gloves In the eve
ming they must be white and they
must be Slace.
One furrier advised his customers
TO get rid of all their muffs having
strips OF trimming made of the fur.
Te thinks there Is TO chance that
the muff will be generally revived
FOR many years. On the other hand,

cialists are pushing the fashion with

GOURCE-A locality.


While the Welsh had a system of
distinguishing one individual from
another by reference to his parentage
IT very early period, their system
Of nomenclature differed considerably
from that OF the Scottish and the
Irish Celts in several ways.
The use of family names as such
among the Welsh is a comparatively
modern development, due much to
English influence as anything, and in
consequence, while most of the Welsh
names are evolved from the Welsh
tongue, they were likely to follow the
English method in their formation.
"Ap' IN the Welsh tongue had much
rhe same significance as the Irish and
Scottish 90" and Mac" but il was
used individually ana specifically in
stead OF collectively and generally.
Thus owen ap Ithel' would be
owen, the son OF Ithel,' not Owen.
OF the clan of lthel. Clearly, since
there might be many Ithcls having
sons named owen, the system did not
quite definitely enough serve tho pur-
pose OF differentiation, and the an
client Welsh therefore used to include
the name OF the grandfather, the
great-grdno1 atner ana SO on, making
-he name OF a single person, when
written formally and In full look like
The list of attendance at a banquet.
But when real family names came
INTO being they were often based upon
place names. as among the English.
Loomis is one of these. It is dc scrip
tive of a locality, from the Welsh
t1oIn," which meant bare" or open"
and "maeS,' which meant field"
The family name OF L.ooTnis, there
fore. il tran slated into English, would
be "Cpentield."

Lingering coughs = the kind that

Those are the breed of coughs that
prove that common cough syrups are
about as useful as a bottle of ginger

The quickest and surest way to get
rid of a persistent cough is to take a

four times a day.
It's. made to stop the old-timers-

any loss of time.
And, remember, there is no chloro.

for stubborn coughs and that's the

Discover New Method
of Making Crystals

Tokyo.--A startling invention by a
| Japanese is given prominence in local
newspapers. Two professors of the
Tokyo Imperial university nave per-
fected a method of manufacturing per-
feet artificial crystals.
Instead. of $1,000 the new invention
brings down the cost of a 5-inch di-
ameter crystal ball to 81.
The artificial crystal is made by
melting white stones by electricity at
a temperature of 1000 degrees. The
special kind of stone is found in album
dance in northwestern provinces of
Japan.
The inventor declared:
at. we use selected raw material, we
can easily manufacture lenses for spec
tacles, as there is no need of grinding
them. 1t is just as easy for us to
make artificial-veined quartz and ame-
thysts by this method rs to produce
large-sized artificial crystals"

New Treatment For

N

ten burst. Sufferers. are advised to get
a two-ounce, original bottle of Emer-
aid Oil (full s%trength), at H. J. Dennis
& Co.'S, and start to reduce the veins
and punches at once.
Physicians recommend Emerald Oil;
it is used in hospital practice and a
small bottle will last a long time, be-
cause it is very concentrated and a
little goes a long way. Apply night
and morning with a soft brush as di-
rected until the swelling is reduced to
normal.
So marvelously powerful is Emerald
Oil that swollen glands and even goi-
tire disappear when used steadily.
