Coughs and Chest

The Charter oak is tree famous
in American history. 1t stood in Hart
ford, Conn, and derived Its name from
the following circumstance: In 1887, Sir
Edmund Andres, the royal governor,
appeared at Hartford and demanded
the charter of the colony In the name
Of James II of England While the as
sembly, in session at Hartford, was
considering the governors request, the
lights were suddenly extlnguished;
and, In the darkness and confusion
that ensued, the charter was snatched
from the table by patriot, Capt. Will
liam Wadsworth, and secreted In the
hollow of an oak tree. This tree,
which was ever after known as the
Charter oak, was carefully preserved
until 1855, when II was destroyed In
violent storm. The charter was re-
newed when William and Mary as
cended the throne in 1689.-Kansas

Small Elsie Did Not
Want Another Oyster!

Oysters like olives, are an acquired
taste, and a taste that some persons
never acquire. There are many, says
Z. q. Whiting, writing cheerfully
In the Boston Herald, who sympathize
with the oft-quoted young woman who
said: I'm glad l don't like oysters,
because If liked 'em I'd eat 'em, and
hate EN-" There are many also who
will feel akin In spirit with the little
girl who was making her first appear
ance at home dinner at which there
were grownup guests.
The first course was oysters on the
half-shell. Her mother observed ap-
provingly the placidity and exemplary
demeanor of her daughter. and thought
to remove some Of the solemnity and
restraint of the occasion by letting the
child into the Joys Of the dinner. So
she said
Would Elsie like a nice oysterT
Elsie looked doubtful, but dutifully
opened her timid mouth, and mother
popped an oyster into 1t. Elsie closed
her lips, and the mother turned her
attention to her guests and her oys-
tiers. She got to the last oyster on
her plate and then remembered her
child, whose silence and sustained
good manners continued to make a
most delightful impression. So she
turned to the child and asked: Would
Elsie like another nice oysterY"
A look of anguish came into the
face of the patient little girl. She
gently and cautiously parted her lips
just far enough to reply: Il don't

Gave Name to Fruit

Shaddock is another name for q
grapefruit. The pomelo, shaddock. or
grapefruit (Cltrus deeumana) is a ma
tive of southern China. This fruit is
more sour than an orange but less
sour than lemon. The name pomelo
is from the Dutch name Pompelmoes.
Shaddock was the name of a captain
who brought the fruit to the West
Indies. By some authorities a distlnc-
ton is made between shaddock and
grapefruit, shaddock being the
larger, the grapefruit the smaller,
having a fine flavor. They are grown
plentifully in Jamaica, Cuba, Califor.
MIA and most Oriental countries.

New Proposition to
Make Desert Useful

The suggestion was made recently
that the Sahara might become the
greatest power-statlon In the world by
the utilization of the heat Of Its count
less miles Of burning sand.
This is a new idea IN the way of
making the desert useful but when we
remember how electrical power Is OBJ
tanned from water, as In the case Of
Niagara, and even from the wind. this
latest suggestion cannot be dismissed
as impracticable.
1t is certainly unlikely that the
deserts of the world will be permitted
to remain indefinitely as they are at
present. New territory Is constantly
being opened up In the search for new
sources of food and raw materials, the
latest development in this direction be-

DONATIONS TO AID
SICK AND ORPHANS
ARE EXPECTED HERE
Every Community Contributing
To National American Legion
Endowment Fund

This community is expected to give
its share to the national American
Legion Endowment Fund, as other
communities throughout the United
States are doing. The income from
this Endowment Fund is to be used to
assist and cure disabled former
service men and to provide homes for
the orphans and dependent children
of war veterans. and the Fund, itself.
is to be perpetual. A trust agreement
provides that when death has wiped
out the membership OF the present
American Legion, the income from
the Endowment Fund shall be used
for purposes most nearly Identical to
those for which 1t is needed today.
The person then president of the
United States will name a board to
determine the use of the income.
Every person. regardless Of creed,
is concerned in the welfare of those
who gave their all in the world war.
Especially is The Legion concerned
with those thousands Of war veterans
who are sick and helpless, but who.
because justice can never be made
automatic, are unable to obtain gov.
eminent aid.
Thousands Of Sick Aided
Those who are familiar at all with
The American Legion work. know
what this great organization has done
to aid the disabled Cooperating with
government agencies, officials OF The
Legion have made possible the hos
pitalization Of thousands of sick and
wounded boys who. had 1t not been
for q helping hand. would have been
lost to society long ago
Other thousands need that same
help today. Many Of them cannot be
given aid by the government under
existing laws, and while officials of
The Legion literally have written
most of the laws to take care OF the
disabled, 1t is impossible to make leg
islation serve all.
Many illustrations could be given.
Thousands of men have married
since the war ended, when they
seemingly were sound physically, but
In reality were In a weakened condi.
ton from gas and exposure. They
fell into the clutches of tuberculosis
and other diseases. and in a few
years have passed away, leaving their
widows and children at the mercy OF
strangers.
Good Home for Every Child
The Legion is determined that every
child Of war veteran shall have as
good home, and real mothers love
as that child would have had IL his
father had not died for his country.
The United States Veterans Bureau
estimates there are 5000 orphans OF
veterans in the United States today
who need some degree of care. The
Legion is maintaining one childrens
billet, now filled to capacity, where
such dependent children are given
good homes. Other billets are being
established and will be In operation
as soon as possible. In addition ia
this, The Legion cooperates with
other child welfare organizations, re-.
alizing that every sincere effort to aid
children is of value. and that the field
for this endeavor is unlimited.
While under tie care of the Legion
the children attend public school. and
live in cottages On the family group

The popular story of how the Span
ish province Of Andalusia acquired Its
name is told by Eleanor Elsner in one
of her travel books. early explorers
entering the province met a peasant
indolently driving mule over pass;
they begged him to tell them the name
Of this sunny and pleasant land, pre-
sumably In a language or dialect Of
which he understood never a word. He
looked them over, silent and smiling
In the usual Spanish fashion, then
turning to his mule, called out, 'Anda.
Lucia which simply meant Go on.
Lucia; but the strangers took 1t to be
the name Of the country, which they
registered on their rough charts as

Duty OF Literature

That the world is "seething with
scoundrels of both sexes" is true. HUI
man nature Is imperfect. and therefore
1t would be strange to see on earth
none but the righteous. To believe
that It is the duty of literature to dig
out pearls" from the heap Of scoun-
drels is to reject literature itself. Flc-
ton is called artistic because 1t draws
life as 1t actually Is. Its aim is abso-
lutte and honest truth. To narrow Its
function to the special task Of digging
for "pearls" is Just as deadly for 1t
as II you were to make Levitan paint

Mistaken Idea That
Moon Rises in EGst

II you were asked where the moon
rises you would probably say, 'In the
east" And you would be wrong.
True, we see II coming up above the
eastern horizon at night. but that Is
simply because the earth. by turning
in its direction, brings 1t into view.
H. reality. the moon rises" in the
west. If there is any doubt on the
point, all that 1t is necessary to do
is 20 watch Its progress across the
sky night after night.
II would seem to be moving from
right to left; that is, from west to
east. The stars prove this. One night
It will be near star In the west and
the next night near another star good
way to the left, or east; then farther
to the east the following night. and
so on.
The moon, In short. has risen or
come up out of the west, and is jour
neying across the sky to the east.
Nothing is more easily demonstrated,
because the stars themselves are there
to mark the track.

told him he had been walking in the

during the early days Of the trial and
had seen these same children playing
at hanging a cat, at the same time sing
ing at the top of their voices: "rhls is

Easy to Demonstrate

The problem Of the revolution Of a
wheel may be explained by the fact
that the top is moving forward in the
direction in which the vehicle Is pro-
crossing, while the bottom is moving
backward or In an opposite direction.
To demonstrate this In practical way,
take a coin, mark points at the top and
bottom as A and B. Make a mark at
the starting point directly beneath A
and B upon whatever surface the coin
is to be rolled. Roll the coin forward
a quarter revolution. 1t will be seen
that A moves upon radius equal to
the diameter Of the circle and by &C
tual measurement A has moved a
greater distance and described a
greater curve than B.
