"MUSH ON" IS "MARCHONS"
(kansas City STAR

I've been mushing Alaska since
1904 says Gunnar KassOn, who
carried the antitOXin to Nome. The
word, "mush," figures often in the
dispatches from Alaska and the
British Northwest. It's sound tells
what it means. Everybody unLer
stands when it is wired that Sep
palla had mushed the long snow
trail from Shaktolik.
Yet the -lerivation is not what
would naturally be supposed
There is no connection between
the Canadian and Alaskan "muSn," !"
and u soft mushy trail. 1t comes
from the French word, march
Ons," Lets go" used by the
French Canadian voyagers amt
cOurenrs de bois. Indeed, the form
"mush on" is much used. Jack
London has it in his Alaskan stOr-
les.
Many words are not what they
seem. Purd Wright, public libra
ian, recently has called attention
to the fact that the Toad-a LOuD
district in the West Bottoms is
really the French, Tour de Loup,"
walk of the wolf" so named be
cause of the wolves that once had
t.ens in the bluffs
1t is widely supposed that the
Canadian river was named by Ca
madam voyagers. But Zcbulon
Pixies report shows it bore the
Spanish name, Rio de Canyada.
River of Canyons. The little town
of Jarbalo, kas.,-a battling name
is said by Hughes in his book on
"Doniphan's Expedition to Mex
ico," to register the evaporation
of Spanish freighters who used to
exclaim, "diabolo," "the devil" at
that particularly hilly place on the
trail.
So the language is constantly
enriched by the decay OF worN'-

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Nancy and Nick looked at Mister
Peg Leg, then they looked at Farm
er Greenway's sass-patch garden.
They were very curious.
"What has this got to do with
Mrs. 'Bunny's magic kettle?" they
asked. "Mrs. Bunny said her chill
dren wouldn't eat their meals and
wanted to buy magic kettle. But
you made her buy some chicken-wire
instead and then brought us here.
Why"
Mister Peg Leg grinned. "Just
watch for a few minutes and you will
soon see why. Come and hide be-
hind this old cart and see what hap
pens."
First of all along came Mister Ben
Bunny from his office. He looked
very important and dignified.
When he got opposite an extra
wide hole in the fence, he stopped
and took out his watch. Then he
put it back and looked carefully in
all directions.
Then he stepped in through the
wide hole in the fence and disap-
peared between the new pea vines
well, for goodness sake!" said
Nancy.

LETTER FROM RUTH BURKE TO
WALTER BURKE, CONCLUDED

do not believe that you realize
how glad | shall be to get back to

time between your going away from
me and your coming back to be my
husband is specter that haunts me
and makes me cold at the thought
that again | might lose you.
have learned that there is moth
ing like husband after all. A lover
is of course very wonderful. You
get the thrill Of his kisses, the flat
terry that his eyes express and the JOY
that his caressing words give to you,
but even with your lover you can
not "take down your back hair"-if
you have not succumbed to the bob.
If, however, you have done that uni
versal shearing, you can not even
show it to your lover without mar
eel or permanent wave, as it were.
With your husband, it is different,
my dear. Once in while you can
be yourself. Not always, for being
ones self is either commonplace
or an annoying thing. When you
leave the coiffure off your head rs
well as the bride off your soul or
the snaffle. bit off your mind, you are
apt to say some things that are either
very banal Or very disturbing.
My English may be a little mixed,
dear, bat my feelings are not. l
know you are the. best man with
whom l have ever come in contact.

MY CASTLE

Found in many distant lands,

Wrought by Old Masters hands:
have jewels worthy OF a crown,
And laces fit for queens,

In the castle OF my dreams.
Fast within the walls OF Somewhere,
On the stream Of BY and BY,

Close against the distant sky:
Thru It's lofty halls wander,
While the moonlight sheds her beams,
On each treasured thing of beauty,
In the castle Of my dreams.
Could take you to my stronghold,
You would ask that you might stay,
Where the birds in joyful chorus.
Chant the s0ngs of yesterday;
Where the golden light OF Fancy,
Like some distant beacon CLEANS,
Guiding on to scenes 0f rapture,
Ia the castle Of my dreams.
OH, the castles of fair Dreamland!
How they seem to fall and rise,
AS We draw the nearer to them.
In our swift winged argosies;
And, Offimes the thOt steals DER me,
That when we've lett earthly scenes.
We shall dnd a welcome waiting,

"Sh!" whispered Mister Peg Leg.
"Watch."
Next came Cutie Cottontail and
Ben Bunny, Jr., who were both in
the same grade at Heller Shelter
School.
When they were opposite the extra
large fence-hole they turned and
scrambled through without word.
And they, too, were soon lost from
view in lettuce bed.
Right then along came Belinda
Bunny and her cousin Rebecca
Rabbit.
With a giggle and wiggle, they
disappeared through the hole in the
fence, and the last the Twins saw of
them they were heading for the place
where the beet greens were thick

"Humph!" said Mister Peg Leg.

their fill and come out through the
extra large hole in the fence again,
with their sides sticking out like
puddings, Mister Peg Leg unrolled
the chicken wire and got out ham,
mer and some nails.
"Come, children, we'll fix this up
right here and now," said he. And
before four o'clock there wasn't a
place in that fence big enough to
get your hand through.
"Now we'll see if poor Mrs. Bunny
needs magic kettle" he said.
That afternoon after school all the
bunny children came romping along
as fast as they COULD toward Farmer
Greenway's sass-patch garden.
But 10 and behold! 1t was all shut
in with chicken wire. They couldn't
so much as get their ears in.
And when Mister Ben Bunny left
the office, it was the same thing. He
couldn't get in, either.
That night they all ate the good
dinner Mrs. Bunny cooked-as hun
cry as hunters.
Gum yum, but everything tastes
good" said Mister Bunny.
"And to think chicken-wire did it
ALL" said Mrs. Bunny in puzzled
voice.
"What did you say?" asked her
husband sharply.
"Oh, nothing" said Mrs. Bunny
but she determined to find out all
| about it.

Have you heard about spring? 1t
will be here soon, dashing toward US
ut the rate of "a hours per day.
Spring is the marrying season.
That's simple. A man feels SO lazy
he needs q wife to make him work.
Flowers and golfers grow wild
every spring.
Fishing is better than golfing.
You can't go to sleep by golf ball
waiting for it to bite.
A fisherman stretches his arms
telling about his trip while golfer
stretches his imagination. n ~
The one good thing about adding
up a golf score is the same system

Out IucIc JclIlilS d IISH CoIS
Spring is the time of gardens.
Some get vegetables out of their gar
dens. Some get chickens.
In starting your garden, make it
small enough for your wife to do
all the work later on.
You can combine golfing and gar
dening by using midiron for a hoe.
Gardening, golfing and fishing are
like faith, hope and charity, except
you have the faith and hope and
need the charity.
Perhaps the widest of the wild
spring flowers are the bathing girls.
Swimming is better than golfing
You can take as many strokes as
you please.
Fishing is better than swimming.
You don't have to wiggle your arms
to stay on top of the ground.
Fishing is better than gardening.
After you get your bait dug you
don't have to watch the place.
The really dangerous thing about
spring is every other place in the
world Seems better than where you
are.
The sad thing about spring is the
more rest you get the more restless
you become.

FABLES ON HEALTH-
CHILDREN AND EGGS

1t is as bad to eat too many eggs
as it is to eat none at all, Mrs.
Jones learned.
Children under or 6 should not
have more than one egg a day, or
one every other day. School children
and adults in general may eat one a
day, although there may, be objec-
tions to this rule.
When eaten according to reason
they make an excellent food, how
ever. They contain mineral elements
and are rich in vitamin A.
DR.. Hess, an eminent New York
physician, has found that egg-yolk,
given to very young babies, prevents
ricketts,.
1t is available and easy to give,

tained from the physician who un-
derstands the individual child.

the best food. AS milk forms the

small animals, SO does the contents

LET'S NOT DELAY
ON THIS ONE

The American Federation of Labor
announces that it will continue the
campaign for the child labor amend
ment, even though it is temporarily
defeated.
An amendment is permanently
pending until passed, so time is al
ways on the side of the proponents.
Theoretically, this privilege of
ratification continues forever. .
There are two amendments legally
pending for ratification now, one
providing that Congress shall not
have more than one member for
each $4,000 population, and the other
that an increase in congre:sio.:..
salaries shall not take effect until
an election has intervened.
Since the first would now author
ize Congress Of 22O0 members, it is
useless.
The other is doubtless superfluous.
but it is unobjectionable.
These amendments were submitted
in 1890, and, never having been rati-
fled, are still pending.
Let US hope that the child labor
amendment will not have to wait so
long.
