COLLEGE MEN AND WOMEN GENUINELY
RELIGIOUS, STORRS PREACHER SAYS
Rev. NJ. f. AlIing Tells of
Demand of Students
That They BE Given
Sunday Evening Service
Promise to Provide
Congregations.

Storrs, Dec Pt-Far from being
goddess, college men and women Of
today are genuinely religious, is the
belief Of the Rev. Morris T.. Alling,
acting pastor of the Storrs church.
Rev. Alling today announced the
opening Sunday evening OF a series
OF monthly services to be held at the
request of the young people of the
Connecticut Agricultural college
through the Young Peoples society.
Rev. J. Harlow Graham OF Nor
wich has been invited to make the
first address tomorrow evening.
Concerning college men and women
and religion, Rev. Alling said that
those who are best acquainted with
the college men and women of to-
day know there never was a time
when there was a deeper hunger for
the fundamental truths of religion
and q greater willingness to give ex-
preston TO religious convictions on
the part of college youth than is evi-
dent today.
Challenge TO Church
"Thc request for an additional
church service has come as a chal-
longe 10 the Storrs church," Mr.. Al
ling said, "The students have said
If the church will furnish the serv-
Ice we will provide the congrega-
tlon.' ! am confident that the eX-
pressons of this nature will be a
source Of satisfaction and encour-
agemont. A casual survey Of the re-
ligious activities in and around stat"
collegiate institutions must convince
Ia farmnded person that our state
institutions arc not goddess, but gen
! nincly religious. What Is true O:
the country as Il whole is true Of our
own state agricultural college. The
young men and women at Storrs arc
products of religious training in the
homes and churches of this state. II
would be singular indeed If they did
not employ their inheritance and
training to the development of the
religious life Of their college"

Lace Collars and Black Taffeta

bracelets which have quite recently

women. In this frock the only thing
that might remotely be considered OF
that period is the lace bertha that
droops slightly at the shoulders.
One of the smarteSt shops recently
showed quite number of these
black taffeta frocks trimmed with
lace. AS a matter of variety the lace
was sometimes white and sometimes
very family cream and again as
brown as though it had been dipped
in coffee. Always the taffeta was
soft and plant and as black as ebony.

rusty brown, like the plumage of a

would ever be turn of fashion to

SOURCE-A locality,

This family name, of English or
igin and development, is one of those
which have been derived from place
names. There are many places to-
day in England named Ellwood All
of them do not trace their history
back to the medieval times, but, on
the other hand, it is fair to assume
that there were also places called
Ellwood in the medieval ages which
since have been called by other
names.
So, unless you can follow the indi-
vidual family history definitely back
to the first use of the name, you
have little certainty from which par
ticular Ellwood it has been derived
Ellwood was the sort of a place
name which might be applied To-
cally. 1t meant simply Ellis

just to get Tom TO say thank you"
When they went to school the story
was the same. Charlie never had to

HOW 1T STARTED
Calling Them Dragons"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The word Dragon" is now famil.
lar in military parlance in this coun-
try as the name of a soldier, usually
a cavalryman. heavily equipped. And
our dictionary sanctions It's use as
common noun. Yet 1t comes to us
directly from an English regiment
the Dragons. The origin Of the
term in it's first application to Eng
lish troops holds a colorful tale.
Dragon" is corruption of drag
on"-the dragon on the standard of
the regiment. 1t was applied origi
nally because of the short gun which
these soldiers carried in earlier times
the sending forth of whose fire was
compared by the populace to fire.
belching dragons!
While it is true that dragons have
appeared on the standards Of armies
since ancient times, the naming of
the regiment which has popularized
the word dragon" was inspired by
the fire Of its principal weapon.
which, by the way, can be seen in
museums TODAY.

Bites and Stings.

A vacation doesn't seem quite regu-
lar unless one gets bitten or stung by
something or other. Some such mo-
tive no doubt inspires the artists who
get out travel and resort literature.
What to do when one is bitten or
stung:
/. Resort literature-Plan walking
trip for next Summer.
2. Dog-If skin is broken have doc
tor treat the wound. but if no doctor
Is available, Immediately swab the
wound with tinCture of iodin and treat
as any other wound; if there is any
question of rabies. the wound should
be Immediately cauteriZed with hot

can give the animal a clean bill OF
health at the end of that period, for
get and forgive.
8. Snake-Immediately incise the
skin where the fang marks show, max
ing the cut with point of razor or a
sharp pocket knife, Just deep enough
to insure bleeding, then suck the
wound for minute or two, then apply
Tor if possible inject around the wound
with hypodermic Syringel a weak Solu
ton of potassium permanganate, and
the emergency kit should contain a
few fivegrain tablets of the perman
ganate for this purpose. The leg or
arm above the bite should be con.
stricted with n twisted bandage or
tourniquet, which should be loosened
for a minute every five minutes. Stout
shoes reaching well above the ankles
or leggings are advisable for campers
and mixers for protection against
snake bites.
A I,a n
treatment as for snake bite. Hot, wet
congresses relieve the intense pain at
the point of puncture, and weak am

tom more or less neutralizes the irri.
tant.
Bee sting-Immediate application of
hydrogen peroxide, removal of the
sting and hot wet congresses afford
relief, or even wet clay or mud or
the end of a freshly cut potato. Wasp
or hornet StingS are more business
like. Weak ammonia water or touch
ing with tincture of iodin is a relief.
Flea, bedbug or other minor bites
Peroxide dabbed on or applications
of vinegar or weak ammonia water,
or any soothing ointment, such as the
old doc salve in the emergency kit.
Mosquitoes-Rub the spot gently
with wet soap, or bathe with a table
spoonful of household ammonia in a
cupful of cool water, or the same
amount of saleratus, or touch the
wheal with glycerin or with peroxide
or with tincture of iodin.
Ants-The bite is a hypodermic in
lection of formic acid, which is ex-
ceedingly irritating. The remedy is
any alkali, such as ammonia water,
lime water, saleratus, magneSia, even
soap.
higgers-Otherwise known as sand
