Where Proper Relief Law

Late in life, Messrs. Abrams and
Shapinsky took up golf. Both were
retired cloak and suit merchants Of
the type made famous in Montague
Glass immortal stories.
On glorious September after
noon they were going over the links
of their country club. They were
playing for stake of dollar hole,
and the competition was spirited.
Mr.. Abrams drove into a bunker.
With his iron he made four ineffec-
tual swipes, raising the sand in
clouds Then he stopped down,
picked up the half buried ball and
tossed 1t out on the fairway.
Mr.. Shapinsky stiffened with In
dignation.
Look a. here!" he whooped. "You
couldn't do that. It's against the
rules"
II already have done it." said Mr..
Abrams, calmly.
"But again l tell you it's against

Mostly on the Ground Floor

On his last annual visit to his old
home In Alabama, Col. Bozeman Bull
ger met husky young negro, whom
he remembered as a ragged picka-
ninny. Having spent more than a
year with the A. e. f. overseas,
Bulger had natural interest in
military matters. He asked the
darby what service he had seen.
81 didn't git into de army atall,"
said the negro.
That's surprising" said Bulger.

SELMA

IF FAIR names should be given to
= fair women, Selma is favorite in
feminine nomenclature. 1t is an old
Celtic name, meaning "fair," and
named the beautiful daughters of Ire
land and Scotland for generation after
generation. Finally it spread over the
border into England and was straight
way adopted as a national favorite.
The Bible records a Selmai, which
may be taken as identical with Selma,
and the name is thus given religious
significance. The Dutch also have
Selmai which is generally regarded as
the equivalent of Selma. Otherwise.
there is little history connected with
the name, which persisted because its
sound, as well as its significance, was
fair.
In this country, the South adopted
Selma, probably because of its asso-
citation with feminine beauty and
equally because its vowels are well
suited to the soft, slurring pronuncia-
ton of Dixie. Many lovely Southern
ers, toasts Of Virginia ana Carolina
counties, have borne the name and
more than one state has bestowed the
name on one of its towns or smaller
cities
1t is FITTING that the pearl, symbol
of beauty and charm, should be sell
mas tallsmanic gem. 1t promises her
great fascination and the power of at
tracing admirers. Monday is her
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

Times Heavy Hand

Two brothers, who thirty-nine years
ago in their home in Germany looked
so much alike that their friends some
times confused them, met recently in
Massillon and failed to recognize each
other until they were introduced, says
the Canton (Ohio) Repository.
They were Henry Laschinske, of
Canton, and his brother Carl, who had
just come to this country with his
family. When the former came to
America thirty-nine years ago he was
twenty-five years old and left his nine
teen-year-old brother, Carl, at home in
Germany. The arrival of the latter
and his family In this country was un-
announced. When the two met at the
home of Miss Mary Kutrib, of Massil-
Ion, neither knew that he was face to
face with. his brother.
They chatted for some time before
Miss Kutrib introduced them to each
other as brothers. Then they lost no
time in calling up boyhood memories.

THE MOON AND INSANITY
