q: Please explain the significance
of Watts painting called Hope
A. C. J.
A. Many critics have thought
into" Watts painting varying signi-
ficance of an allegorical nature. In

there Is an Interpretation of the
painting. portions of which we quote.
I'VE perceive that, while the attitude
is woebegone, IT is not so IistIess as 1t
appears. There is great deal of
latent energy in It 1t Is beginning
TO be stirred with fresh strength and
though the eyes are altogether hid
den One star shimmers in the
dimness. prophetic of that morning
star into which Hesperus will be
changed, and which will yet lead her
to the cradle of a new birth of joy
and light and blessedness." Speaking
.of the fact that the Tyre has left but
one string, the author says: One
string is always left, however empty
and desolate may be the Tyre OF life
on which the still. sad music Of hu-
manfty may be played; and from this
the other strings are to be tuned in
happier circumstances Hope
stoopS and strains to hear the note
of the one string of her lyre-the con-
the remaining chord. We might sup
pose that by placing the figure of
Hope on the summit Of the globe
Watts meant to indicate the univer.
salty Of the grace"

Der at 1000 900. which gives a poten-
tial radio public Of 100000
Q: Why and where was the term
union jack" first used?-B. w.
A. When the union of the crowns

Andrew. patron saint of Scotland, and
that of ST.. George. patron saint of

the name of the flag is great union"

always signed his name Jacques"
