Key Is One of Oldest
of Religious Symbols

When you next unlock the door of
your home or Office, reflect moment
upon the ancient and historic symbol
ism of the key. If you ever have the
opportunity to examine the images of
the Egyptian deities you will notice in
the hands of some of them a cross
with circular handle 1t represents
the Ankh, or key of life, one of the
oldest of all religious symbols, denOt-
ing the power to open and close the
doors of heaven. The key had magi-
cal meaning for the Greeks and RO-
mans. Their gods were often given
the title of key-bearer. as. for example,
Janus. the god of gates. who was sup
posed to unlock the doors of war, and
peace. In early Christian history the
symbol of the key was associated with
ST. Peter, with his two keys of gold
and iron. In the Middle ages the key
was used to assist In the Identification
of guilty persons. If, for instance, a
theft had been comYitted key was
laid on the open page of a Bible, when
it was supposed to move towards the
cuIprit Wedding rings had their
origin in the key presented to the Ro-
man bride by her husband, as a sign of
her authority in his household.

Proof of Smoked Ham

That the proof of the smoked ham
is in the smell is the conclusion
reached by the wholesale meat pack
ers. as a result of years OF experience,
according to a story recently pub
iished This ham-smelling business,
moreover, as might be expected, is OF
nature that. to become an expert at
it, requires years of training. A man
experienced in this line of work. how
ever. is able to test 1000 or 5000 hams
day, and in some of the large houses,
where many thousands are turned out
daily, there may be a regular corps
of them employed. Upon the infalli-
bility of the Judgment of these men,
indeed, the reputation of such con-
Germs largely depends. Certainly there
are more ways of making living than
the average individual realizes =

Origin of Name Canada"

According to Father Hennepin, the
name Canada was derived from cor
ruption of the Spanish words Capo de
NADIA. or Cape of Nothing, which the
early voyagers gave to the scene of
their discoveries when, under a convic-
tion of its utter barrenness and inutil-
ity, they were about abandoning it in
disgust, says the Detroit News.
1t has been cOnjectured by late his
torians, with greater appearance Of
probability, that Canada is modifica-
ton of the Spanish word signifying "a
passage because the Spaniards
thought they could find passage to
India through Canada.

A ND, ladies, this Is tho other SIDE
"a OF the big show. It's the side
Of the woman who has been doing

Of the knights Tcmplar for 80
years, while her husband has been
getting all tho glory.
Mrs. Elizabeth Newly, wife Of
Most Eminent Grand Master Leon
idns +. Newly II you please. Is the
lady. Her home is at Knightstown,
Ind, which for tho past four years
has been the cynosure Of knights
Templar and the home or the
Ncwbys for--wcll, they were child
hood swcethcsrts there.
i've been attending conclavcs for

anlnatcdly. after she had gracious
ly received II different delegations
OF women.
i've gone TO so many l can't
remember where they were all held.
But | guess I've been In every
state OF the Union"
And now, after 40 years, my
husband is about TO pass into the
ranks OF the past grand masters,
thank goodness. 1t'll give MS n
chance 10 get acquainted again, as
hos been away from home almost
continually for the past four years"
According TO precedent. tho grand
masters hold office only for ono
term OF three years each. Death Of
tho preceding grand master while
Newly was right eminent grand
gcncralissimo, elevated him to the
position a year ahead OF schedule
MIR. Newly has been active in
Templar work all his life" said
Mrs. Newly. "Hc retired from busi-
ness some years ago. and our son,
Floyd, has taken his office. He
was banker and an attorney But
Floyd Is following in his fathers
footsteps. He's n member of the
grand encampment committee of
Indiana"
Tho fact that Grand Master
Newly lives at Knightstown, Ind,
is mere coincidence. The name
OF the town, Mrs. Newly says, has
no relation to the knights Tcmplar
organization, II is small farm
ing community east of Indian
apolis.
But I've enjoyed these con
