DRIME MINISTER MACDONALD
Of Great Britain says the British
recognition of the Russian soviet gov
eminent is absolute and without quib-4
bles. He also says both Russia and
Germany must be admitted to mem
bership in the League of Nations and
that he believes France will consent
to this. Concerning British relations
with France, he says the "hesitating
and negative attitude" of the British
government has been abandoned. Al
ready, at his suggestion, the French gov
eminent has agreed to quit its sup
port of the separatists in the Palat-
mate and the Rhineland. This auto
matically answers a strong protest
sent last week by Berlin to Paris COM
planning of the French aid to the
separatists and demanding that con-
ditions in the Palatinate be re-estab
lished in accordance with the treaty.
Germany also asks the withdrawal of
the customs measures in the occupied
territory
Italy and Russia signed CONNER
cial treaty on Thursday and Mussolini
thus recognized the Soviet govern
ment. He will soon appoint an ambas-
sador to Moscow.

the new tax bill is completed and

the committee agreed to stand togeth-

tax rates, and approved definitely the
sections embodying a reduction of %
per cent in individual income taxes
payable in 1924 on 1923 incomes. The
present jewelry tax rate of 5 per cent
is unchanged, but will not apply on

President Coolidge, drew up program

Sweeter it's to gaze upon

LInprecedented Drought

All records for drought were broken
in western Washington, the area be-
tween the Cascade mountains and the
Pacific ocean, in the weather year end
ing September 1. This region general
Iy is associated with heavy rainfall,
but in the last year only 22.79 inches
of rain were measured by the weather
bureau. Records dating from 1884
make the average annual moisture
4O.79. The banner year for rain was
1897, when the fall was 52.76.
Old-timers commonly assert that the
rainfall is diminishing as the forests
that once covered western Washing
ton are being cut away.

MORA, which has always seemed
IN associated with beauty to the ex-
tent of frequently being synonymous,
really comes under the class of mill
tary names.
Honor was a deity in ancient Rome,
but Honorius first appears as proper
name in one of the appellations OF the
Spanish father of the great Theodosi-
us. 1t was inherited by that imbecile
being, his grandson, the last genuine
Roman emperor, and also by niece
called Justa Grata HonOria, who dis
honored all three of her honorable
names. But some lingering allegiance
to the last rulers Of the empire per-
petuated their names and finally we
have Honorine, a Neustrian maiden
slain in a Danish invasion and regard
ed as a martyr.
For that reason, HonOrine is exceed
ingly popular in France and Germany.
It penetrated England also, and in Ire
land became a great favorite as Onora,
Honor or Norah. Two Gallo bishops
named Honoratus are said to be re-
sponsible for the derivation of the
popular French Honore. Another elab.
Grafton in vogue is Honorla.
Perhaps it is the inherent pathos Of
Celtic legend which gives Nora the
taIismanic stone which to dream Of
denotes sorrow-jet. That fashion
able glittering jewel should be worn
constantly by the bearer OF the name,
since jet is said to become a part of
the very body and soul of its wearer
and to exercise jealous care in guard

wall that separated her garden from
the river and try to hear through the
stones where the sound of crying came
from.
At last one day she found a chink in
the wall and she glued her eye to the
little hole and looked through. And
there she found herself looking into a
little dark room on the other side OF
the wall, where lay very dirty little
boy crying as hard as he could.
