EDITH

EDITH has charming augury. Her
- name means happiness In the
Anglo-Saxon, as 1t is believed to be
derived from the lead" Wlthal. 1t is
a perplexing name to follow in its
various interpretations. 1t has the
same root as Edward, Edwin and Ed
gar and curiously enough, Edith ap-
pears early in Its history as the con-
traction of Eadgitha, which seems to
have been the earliest authentic name.
If we accept Eadgitha as being the
forerunner OF Edith then Its interpre-
tation is somewhat different, as the
emphasis is placed upon the "githa,"
which is thought to be phonetic varia-
ton Of gifa or gifu, meaning gift. In
that case. Edith means rich gift.
Gyda was popular feminine name
among the Morse, and Gytha was the
daughter of Swend, king of Denmark.
Gydia was Morse goddess and be-
came the old, exalted conception of
womanhood.
The first Eadgyth was the daughter
OF Earl Goodwin of whom Ingulf said !:
"Sicut spina rosam, genuit GodwInus
Egitham." But In the roll Of her
lands in "Domesday," she Is called
Eddeva. 'Eddd and Edeva were much
used by the Normans, but the queen of
Henry I, who bore the name, was not
permitted anything so Saxon and she
became Edith.
The pope's mother was one illustrious
Bdlth; 1t was also the name of
Southey's wife. Scott gave 1t TO the
Maid of Lorn and made 1t likewise the
name of the heroine of old Mortality.
1t Is now reigning favorlte In Eng.
land and America.
The Jewel assigned to Edith is the
agate, which promises popularity ond
persunsiveness for Its wearer. Its
prophecy Is best revealed In some very
ancient poets rhyme to the wearer Of
| the agate:
Adorned with this, thou woman's heart
shall again
/ Ana by persuasion thy desire attain
| Ana II of men thou aught den,ands
shall come
| With all thy wish fulfilled rejoicing q

HEALTH AND THE
WEATHER
DR. FREDERICK H. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"

XXIHAT has the weather to do with
w health?
A great deal, II we can believe old
Uncle Andy, who says that he can al
ways tell when bad spell Of weather
10 brewing" by the pain In his back.
This is very convincing to the old
man, but not as satisfactory as the
weather bureau bulletins.
But Is there any real connection be-
tween the weather and health7
Without a doubt some climates are
much more healthful than others, al
though actual mortality statistics show
remarkable uniformity In different
parts of the country.
Most Of our Ideas on this subject
have been based on personal expert
ences or prejudices. Little careful
study of the relation between atmos-
! pheric conditions and health has ever
been made.
The New York city weather depart
ment, In cooperation with the life IN
surance companies has been making
an Investigation of the relation be-
tween the weather and the number Of
deaths In New York. The SIX years
from 1888 to 1888 were taken because
the material for this period was com
plete and available.
| Comparison of the weather reports
and the death reports shows that on
days that were extremely hot or ex-
tremsly cold the number of deaths
were about 10 per cent higher than on
days Of medium temperature. Very
low temperature produces about seven
times as much ill-effect as very high.
During the cold days In winter the
death rate was 20 per cent higher than
when the temperature was above 90
degrees Fahrenheit
OF course. 1t was not simply the low
temperature that produced this differ.
ence. In extremely cold weather we
have hotter fires, less ventilation and
closer crowding in warm places. There
is also greater danger Of falling and
more danger from fires.
On very hot days we are apt to in
dulge too freely in cold drinks and
unusual forms Of food. Where bath
60 into the water and consequently
there are more deaths from drowning
So It's safe to say that the increased
danger to life and health In extremely
hot weather or extremely cold weather
Is not due to the weather itself. but to
our efforts to protect ourselves from
the effects Of the weather.
This means that II we are wise we
will endeavor, during unusually severe
weather Of any kind, to avoid ex
tremes. to live as nearly as possible
the way we always do, and to avoit
doing rash and unusual things.
The weather won't hurt us half a!
much as our own afforts to overcome
the effect of the weather.

Mr.. Fox was inside huge SNOWFALL.
Mr.. Fox knew he could only roll
down the hill; he could not roll up
very well. And when the ball was
heavy enough it started to roll down.

But 1t did not go in the direction
Mr.. Fox had intended. Instead Of

Mr.. Fox had hoped it would, 1t struck

staring down at him with feathers
bristfing with anger.
But he didn't see Mr.. Grow, and Mr..
Grow did not make Il sound. Instead,
he kept his bright eyes fixed upon Mr..
Fox to see what he was up to.
When his head stopped swimming,
Mr.. Fox made his way toward the
barnyard. 1t was hard work getting
through the snow, but at last he
reached the fence and peeked through
the cracks, his eyes fixed upon the
poultry feeding on the other side
Mr.. Grow, of course, made his way
easily and swiftly to the barnyard
fence. He did not mind travelling
when the snow was on the ground
Mr.. Fox did not see him until Mr.
Crows jarring voice cawed loudly just
above the cry that tells Mr.. Man or
Mr.. Dog that "a fox is nearby"
Mr.. Fox jumped. He tried to run,
but the snow was deep and he STUN
bled and flounced about trying to get
away before Mr.. Dog started after
him. But Mr.. Grow had no intention
of letting him off even in that way.
He flew right along over him, cawing
that he would teach him to bang
against his house.

Mr.. Fox's door. And even when he
banged 1t in Mr. Crows face he could
still hear him cawing outside.
Now. what bad luck sent that

There was no use telling Jimmy Grow
1t was all an accident" said Mr.. Fox,
as he toasted his toes before the fire.

STATES EYE BILL
is BIG FEATURE
Psnnsyluanians Gius Vi
$1,000, 900 a Year.

OF mortal features, the eye and hair
have had most publicity.
Until "woman's crowning glory" be-
came largely bobbed. it occupied q less
er place than the eye. and even now
poets and songsters generally devote
pages to eyes where they give lines
to hair.
John Milton went the limit when he
saw heaven in the eye" No use to
attempt anything beyond that.
But In q cold Industrial world the
human eye again plays leading role.
Broken eyeglasses are daily tragedies
multiplied by thousands.
Optician and oculist bills are super
tragedies which invade practically
every home. One of our foremost ocu-
lists tells me that of Philadelphia
10000 families, not $4,000 escape the
eyeglass, writes "Girard" in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
And 1t is just downright hard luck
that the very thing we prize most we
lose oftenest. In proof of which l cite
the nonpoetic reports of Royal Meeker,
our state secretary Of labor.
Pennsylvania gets buster all the
time, yet accidents in industry have
been steadily decreasing. But the loss
of eyes grows larger. And industry is
taxed in Pennsylvania each year fc-
more to pay for eyes than for legs or
|, arms, feet or hands.
Eight years ago there were reported
In this state 255,OO0 accidents. Last
year only 100000.
To be sure, even the latter total

| part is that last year seven times as
many permanent injuries were report
ed as in 1922, and nearly double the
number of any year in the last eight.
More and better protection in indus
tries prevents general accidents, but
the loss of eyes continues with inex-
orable rapidity.
Pennsylvania quotes IN eye at con-
slderably less value, when fixing rate
/ of compensation for its loss, than 1t
places upon hand or foot, leg or arm.
Nevertheless, industry in Pennsyl-
vania was taxed just short Of 81. .OO0, 900
last year to pay for eyes.
| The loss of eyes costs an average OF
S1.25 each.
A foot is less valuable than a hand,
SO $1,700 is paid for loss of the for
mer and $1,000 for the breadwinner.
Arms and legs are about the same
price, S2,4OO Due to the far smaller
| number Of Affections as applied to
hands, feet, arms and legs they all fell
far below the eye in the total money
loss represented.
In eight years our states industries
have paid out under the workmen's
compensation Law about $4,000, 600
That covered more than 10000 futali'
ties In that neriod and nearly 1,600.O .O0C
lesser accidents.
The eye bill last year was nearly
three times the amount paid in 1916.
In the last decade have gone

Proof Readers For Artists
BY Chester H. Rowen

May one timdly suggest the introduction of a proof
reader in the art" of newspapers?
His function would be limited but important. 1t would
consist in enforcing the correct spelling of expression
There are three classes of cartoonss speaking proof
readery One spells it, as the printers do al right These
are doubtless the products of discipline little short of boil
ing OIL .
The second class spell it "aght They have evidently
been told only thousand times to put in the two u.s. but
have not yet been successfully ntimdated into inserting the
space
The third class, which includes all of them until they
have had to do drawings this account at least hun
dred times and been discharged at least five times for it,
frankly spell it "arght."
Far be it from contributor to be captous This
spelling may be "arght spelling may not be important
But if printers be taught to spell "aready one
word and "all right" two, why not artists?

the nations around the Pacific, for
the strictly unofficial discussion Of
the problems of the Pacific.
Unless there is danger of the sus-
picion that it doth protest too much,
doubtless reiteration of it's strict
ly unofficial character will be a
routine feature of the opening of
each session.
But there will be a real value in
this strictly unofficial basis of dis
cussion.
This applies particularly to the
most delicate questions of all-those
affecting Japan and the "white" ma
tions of the Pacific.
So far, only two sorts of express
sions of Japanese opinion have been
available.
One was the necessarily restrained
and correct" expressions of Off
cials. The other was the unre-
strained, not to say reckless and ir-
responsible expressions of yellow
journals and demagog politicians.
Neither, OF course, means any
thing. A gathering of representa-
tive and responsible persons. who
carefully do not represent anything
and are not responsible to anybody.
can express conservatively and in
telligently the real best opinion on
both sides of these issues.
Such an expression, the more un-
official the better, will be invaluable
in enlightening official understand
ings and negotiations later.
