EMMA

LEW feminine names have simpler
= origin than Emma. 1t is one of the
many names derived from Teutonic
forefathers. Tradition assigns It's origin
to the lispings of q child since ANIME
was nurse in Germany and anne is
translated housekeeper in Spain.
ANIME was quickly transposed to
Emma, probably from latent sense
of euphOny.
The Karling daughters of Teutonic
fame were first to use the name. Later
a daughter Of Charlemagne was SO
called. A romantic story surrounds
her to the effect that she is said to
have carried her lover, Eginhard the
Chronicler, on her back over the snow
that his footprints might not betray
his visits
Emma was popular in France, where
it was the name OF the sister of Hugh
Capet, who married Richard the Fear
less Of Normandy. Her grandmother
was first the wife of Ethelred the I'm
ready, then Of Knut. 1t was in this
way that Emma became much in vogue
in Saxony There were also Emmes
among the daughters Of the Norman
Dru de Baladon, who came over with
William the Conqueror.
Prior, in his beautiful ballad of the
Nut Browne Maid" which was sup
posed to be the history of the shep-
herd, Lord Clifford, called his poem
Henry and Emma" which fact
brought Emma romantic fame and
spread the popularity of her name.

Increased Corn Yield

It took 60 rows of corn to make a
wagon load three years ago from a
field on the farm of V. H. Price of
Upton county, Tenn. But for three
years this farmer has been demon
strating soil building through growing
legumes, in cooperation with the
county agricultural agent, planting
lespedeza and following with corn and
soy beans. In 1923, according to re.
ports to the United States Department
of Agriculture, only 20 rows of corn
were needed to make wogon load.

ALWAYS FEELING POOR

" EARS ago, when Carrie was a
= young thing of fifteen running
about barefoot on her fathers farm
in Virginia, she had been richer than
she was as Mrs. Leonidas Grimes with
her establishment up the Hudson.
Everyone knew then that she had no
money. How could they help know
ing with the holes in the carpet Gov
cred up by the rugs, and the children's
mother turning the colonel's old
suits? But Carrie spent money with
some pleasure in those days when
she had hardly any to spend.
Then she married Leonidas Grimes,
doing business for big cotton firm,
and from that moment Carrie began
to feel poor
One day Aunt Eugenia received an
invitation from Carrie to luncheon.
Aunt Eugenia, who had had a bril-
liant career, was reduced now to divid-
ing her time among several more or
less eager relatives. Everything was
on a lavish scale from Carries note
of invitation, to the number of
courses served. Then, as the guests
sat about the finger bowls, the butler
passed on heavy silver tray, a tight
ly tied and sealed box of candy.
ssDo have some,'' urged Carrie. "It
has to be opened some time, you
known And Aunt Eugenia mar
veled at this survival Of childhood
experiences in the rich Mrs. Leonidas
Grimes.
Aunt Eugenia began to hear of the
Grimeses as entertaining royalty"

Haue uou 7 his Habit
By Margaret Morrison

| One day an elaborate miSsive booked
her for a weekend. On her arrival,
Aunt Eugenia thought that Carrie
seemed worried. Immediately she be-
gan, sitting there with her velvet
dinner gown ablaze with jewels, to
tell how poor she was feeling. "We
have to keep up our position she
walled, "but, oh, it takes so much
money! Imagine what keeping up
ten cars means"
And everything those two days was
on the scale Of "ten cars"-house,
grounds, entertainment, guests! Then
came the time for Aunt Eugenia's de-
parture Carrie was on the terrace
with her as chauffeur and second
man drove up, polished and shining,
their liveries cleaning in a f1ivver.
'You are one of the family, you
see, and gasoline is so expensive"
sighed Carrie.
Aunt Eugenia decided that Carrie
had asked her to the castle simply
because it was a solace to see some
one who was really even poorer than
she herself, among all her riches,
felt. Aunt Eugenia thought of Car
rie's mother and father who, with
nothing to their names, had always
somehow managed to give other peo-
pie a great deal. Carrie with her
plenty would never know the happi-
ness of generosity. The habit of feel
ing poor would cheat her to the day
of her death, and then it would cheat
her in that place where bank ac-
count mattered not at all.

Emmeline, curiously enough, hears no
relationship to Emma, but comes
rather from Amaline, the progenitor of
Amy.
The bloodstone is Emma's talismanic
gem. 1t has medicinal qualities and
was much used by the ancient's to
stop hemorrhages. It is said to Pre-
serve the faculties and the bodily
health of its wearer, bring considera-
ton and respect, and guard her from
deception, especially of lovers. Tues
day is Emma's lucky day and her

BACK TO NORMAL

In no period since the war has
greater progress in the return to nor
NAL business conditions been made
by industry, commerce and finance
than during the past year. This re-
establishment of normal conditions
has been brought about by the work
ing of purely economic influences.
These influences and this result COM
pletely refute the arguments and pre-
tensions of opportunist politicians and
radical demagogues who have sought
to bring about readjustment by po-
lftical measures. These measures
were aimed to give gratuitous advan-
tages to the special interests and
classes which the proposers assumed
to represent, to the detriment OF the
general good.
The virtual disappearance, by nat
ural economic processes, of the ac-
normalities that have persisted, as the
long drawn out aftermath of the war,
has removed whatever justification
their presence seemed to give for
governmental paternalism and for
special measures of relief for par
ticularly distressed classes. At best
these measures we're merely sedatives
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-12-11

for psychological conditions and not
real remedies for economic condi
tions. To that extent they served
purpose, but there is no further
public good that they can serve
With normal conditions once more es
tablished it should be the resolute
determination of all business men to
resist any further effort at political
interference with economic processes
The time is at hand for a thorough
going return to free play of private
enterprise and private initiative under
Inhampered competitive conditions.
Government influence and political in.
reference in respect to business
should be reduced to an absolute
minimum. We as bankers ask no
special privileges for ourselves.
Equally we are opposed to special
privileges for other groups at the
expense Of the general welfare. The
experience of the past few years has
been one of the greatest demonstra-
tons in history of the validity of the
view that the community interests of
a people are best served by the maxi
mum degree of private enterprise and
private initiative with the minimum

About the Care Of Corn
SMELLING AND SALTING METHOD
IN DRYING CORN ARE OF
LIMITED VALUE
BY c. A. LOWELL

The year 1924 goes down in agricul
tural history as new dating point
from which to figure the passage Of
time. 1t was one of those 'soft-corn
years" that arise periodically to vex
farmers and rob them of the fruits
of their toll.
All ear corn stored on farms should
be in cribs fitted with ventilating de-
vices, and where cribs are not SO
equipped the winter months may be
utilized for doing the work, provided
it is possible to move the corn about.
The familiar A-shaped ventilators or
horses" are about as good as any
thing the farmer can adopt and may

To Get Rid of Ants

busting liberal amounts Of fresh
pyrethrum powder each day where ants
are travelling will prove helpful in
Kidding the house of them in case the
nest cannot be found. busting or
blowing sodium fidorid about where
ants are found has proved satisfactory.
This powder will be effective for sew
eral days, but care should be exer-
cised in its use, as 1t sometimes irri-
tates the skin and the membranes OF
the nose. II should be placed beyond
the reach Of children. This powder Is
an effective remedy for cockroaches.
Small sponges dipped in sweetened wa
ter will attract large numbers Of ants,
after which they may be killed by
dipping the sponges In boiling water
The process should be repeated as
often as necessary.

Easily Recall Voice
Heard on Telephone

Is a voice a better Identification tag
than a face7
Telephone operators say voices are
more easily recognized and they ought
to know-they hear enough Of them.
Voices, they assert, are more personal
than faces. Faces may bear reseIn-
blance, but a voice is distinctly indi-
vidual.
Il find It comparatively easy to as
sOciate voices with names, although
do not recognize transient callers"
says a woman who has been private
branch exchange operator for the Phil
adelphia board of education for more
than six years. In that time she has
familiarized herself with the names
and voices Of the entire school admin
istration staff, most Of the school prin-
cipals and hundreds of school teachers.
"Of course, If 1 were to meet them
on the street I should fail to recOg-
nize them," she admits, but l have
learned to know the voices and to
catalogue them mentally. If a person
calls more than once and leaves his
name, 1 usually remember both his
name and his voice If he calls again
l endeavor, of course, to call him by
name"

Artificial Aids to
Sight Long in Use

The single glass or reading glass was
in common use long before spectacles
we're known.
In the Fourteenth century spec
tacles, though fairly common, were ar
ticles Of some cost, and frequently
formed the subject Of bequests in
wills. They were manufactured large
ly in Italy, Holland and Bavaria and
from the beryl sometimes used in place
Of glass the Germans derived their
"brille."
A Polish novelist, Slenkiewicz, gives
it on authority that the Emperor Nero
was in the habit of using eyeglasses,
and in the film, "Quo Vadis," Nero IS
seen using his glass as a lorgnette.
There seems no definitely estab-
lished fact to prove whether this glass
was a mOnOcle or a double glass
mounted on long decorative handle.

Wednesday and Thursday -"The

over a year Maurice Touneur used
music in the production of a picture.
Many of the directors and stars are
never without their orchestra, even on
location, for they claim that it keeps
the proper temperament necessary
for the best work. Maurice Tour
neur attacked this idea and has al
ways made a point of never using
music. In "The White Moth" he was
forced to break this rule more than
once.

The Smith Hughes activities in ag-
rculture and home economics pro-
NOTED through the high schools of
the state are being represented in the
parade and pageant which will be
held at the Kent & Sussex Fair at
Harrington, Friday, August 1st The
pageant, which is designed to depict
ten years of agricultural progress in
Delaware, would not be complete un-
less the many valuable contributions
made by the high schools, are includ-
ed. Amazing results have been OBJ
tanned by the boys and girls who have
taken the organized courses of in
struction along agricultural and home
economics lines offered in the high
schools. These systematic courses
were incorporated into the high
school curricula of the state in 1917
when the Smith Hughes Law was en-
acted. Since that time 1858 boys and
2400 girls of high school age have
taken the courses. Agriculture and
home-making practices in the various
communities of the state have been
affected considerably by the work
done by the agricultural and home
economics teachers.
The high school students taking
agriculture have received instruction
in the technical and scientific phases
of farming and have successfully
demonstrated them in their home
project work. The results obtained
to date total over $88,OOO worth of
farm products entirely earned by the
agricultural students as a part of
their high school work. The Home
Economics students also have shown
their ability in a practical way. Dur
ing the short time that this work has
been offered in the high schools of
Delaware, 24,703 quarts of fruit and
vegetables have been canned; 1875
glasses of jelly have been made;
$685. dresses have been made; 5,047
dresses have been renovated and 25,-
056 meals have been prepared.
In addition to this regular work
1853 garments have been made for the
State Home for Feeble Minded girls
at Stockley, and over 10000 grade
children in our public schools have
b cen reached through the nutrition
program conducted by the Home Eco
Monies teachers.
