SYLVIA

DERHAPS the most poetic of all
= feminine names is Sylvia. Its
origin dates back to NEUROLOGICAL times
when there was a deity called Syl-
vanus, name derived from Sylvia,
meaning wood, or forest. Sylvanus
was the protector of husbandmen and
their crops. He was generally por-
trayed as an old man with cypress tree
in his hand Just before the Christian
era. Syivanus became Roman proper
name and indirectly from it is de.
rived the masculine Silvius, through
the old legend of the son of Aeneas and
Lavinia-born in wood, and hence
called Aeneas Silyius.
Silvius was the name given to a
member of the Piccolonnini family,
who afterward became the pope. Syl-
vius and Sylvia became the favorite
names for shepherds and shepherdesses,
Sylvia's translation being "1iving in the
wood" From its popularity In the
time of pastoral romance, Sylvia be-
came a poetical name for country
maid and had been much used In Eng
land as village Christian name.
Certainly the poets loved to write
odes and comments and roundelays to
Sylvia whose simple virtues and rustic
beauty they exalted in lyrical ex-
travagance.
Sylvia, simplest of rustic names, has
for her talismanic stone, the simplest
Of gems, the turquoise. Set in gold,
1t will protect its wearer either riding
or walking, so the legend goes It is
the Persians' national stone and they
believe that to see the new moon re-
Elected in its blue cleaning surface is
sign of good fortune. Holly is Sylvia's
flower, Saturday her lucky day, and
her talismanic number

DANGER FROM AUTOMO-

Editor of "HEALTH"

TN a recent copy of The Journal OF
4 the American Medical Association.
doctor tells what happened one
morning in his own garage.
He was about to start out on his
morning calls and had gone into the
garage and started his engine. See
ing his next door neighbor in his
back yard, he went out to speak to
him. Coming back in few minutes,
he was surprised to find his young
daughter lying on the floor of the gar
age, unconscious. Thinking that she
had fallen and struck her head, he
started to carry her into the house.
Then he saw two other children, his
own son and his neighbours, lying I'M
der the car. Realizing that they had
been overcome by gas from the car,
he stopped the engine and carried the
three children out into the fresh air.
With prompt treatment by artificial
respiration, they all recovered con-
seriousness in a short time. Had the
doctors chat with his neighbor been
much longer, he would probably have
found all three children dead.
Cases of death from carbon monOx-
ide poisoning are so common that the
United States public health service has
recently issued a bulletin of warning
on the subject. Numerous news items
tell of men found dead on the floor OF
their garages, with the doors closed
and the engine running. With the
coming on of winter, such reports will
probably be more frequent.
Automobile owners and chauffeurs
should understand the danger of run
ming q gasoline engine in a small.
closed place of any kind for any
length of time. Gasoline fed into
the cylinder burns, but it is not en-
tirely consumed. 1t gives off gas
through the exhaust which is carbon
monoxide, a deadly poison. Careful
tests show that even small 23-horse-
power automobile engine will give
off one and one-half cubic feet or
carbon monoxide gas every minute,
enough to be dangerous in about three
minutes.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and
almost odorless gas. Even in
closed garage, its presence is not no.
ticeable enough to be warning of
danger The victim gradually loses
consciousness and, even If aware of
his danger, is often unable to escape
on account of paralysis of his muscles.
Before help can come, his lungs are
so saturated with the gas that death
quickly ensues.
See that the doors and windows of
your garage are open before starting
your car Don't start your engine or
keep it running in q small closed
space. If you have any signs of faint
ness, get into the open air at once.
Your life depends upon your prompt
ness.

THE UNBURIED DEAD

THE superstition with regard to de-
lay in the burial Of the dead varies
somewhat In form in different parts
of the country but is found in some
phase in all sections. To keep the
corpse in the house over Sunday will
bring death into the family within
year, is one form. Some of the others
are: If the grave is left open over
Sunday another death in the family
will soon take place. If the grave Is
left open overnight without the corpse
there will be another death In the
family within a year. All the differ
ent forms of the superstition express
the same idea-an apprehension of
evil resulting from a dead body left

Next October 81 will fall on the 21st

Admit Coolidge May Run.
The convention is unique in that
it Is the first where no one was
ready to predict that his man would
be chosen for this or that. There
is little whispering going on that
Colonel William M. Butler IL groom
ing q dark horse named Coolidge
for the Presidency. but there il
nothing authoritative coming out Of
the water bucket. There IL no more
secrecy In Cleveland than exists at
Ku Klux Khan Klonklave.
Administrator Senators who
usually have quite a lot to say on
almost anything have grown shy
and retiring.
A ripple Of excitement was
created just az the shades Of night
were being pulled down when the
news was flashed about that Carmi
Thompson had been saying things
In q well modulated voice into the
ear Of Senator Frank Willis. In
q trice a battalion Of correspond.
ents dashed UP to the Senator's
hotel with q great clatter Of
hooves.
Senator Willis was perfectly will

Thompson had no doubt in his
mind that tho distance from New.

distance from Bakersfield, Cal. TO

the slightest idea about whose face

Senator Dill explained that he

votes along with his Democratic
ballots whenever he ran for any.

square.
