MONICA

MONICA is not nearly as popular a
AvA name as it deserves to be. Not
only has it beauty of sound and sig
nificance, but "a strikingly interesting
history, as well. 1t comes to us al
most direct from the Spanish, but is
nevertheless regarded as an English
name and is more popular in England
than in its native country. Many a
golden-haired, blue-eyed English girl
bears the name first used to designate
raven-tressed, red-lipped, coquette of
Spain.
Monica is thought to have its earli-
est origin with the Greek term "domo."
meaning ito rule" Dominica is di-
rect offspring of this word and there
have been Saints Dominica, Domingo
and Dominica, without number. One
holy man by that name, who is asso-
ciated with the Inquisition, had name
sakes in all the Romanist lands, and
the feminine of this popular title came
to be officially Domenica; for short
Menica.
The mother of Saint Augustine was
the first to be called Monica. Some
etymologists. even believe that her
name should be classified as one COM
ing directly from the Latin verb
"moneo," meaning ito advise but the
consensus of opinion is that Monica
was evolved in the manner aforemen-

DWINDLE DOWNS

ONCE upon time there was the
- dearest, prettiest, cutest little girl.
and her name was Goldilocks. and she
acted in the movies" so dearly and
prettily and cutely that every one that
saw her fell in love with her and saved
up to see her in her next picture, and
Goldilocks made $4,000 a week and
nobody begrudged it to her except one
person, and that was her landlord.
Her landlords name was Dwindle
Downs, and he raised GoIdilocks' rent
and raised it and raised it and raised
it and raised it until poor Goldilocks
was driven almost to distraction. But
she couldn't move because all the other
houses were being lived in, and at last.
when Dwindle Downs tod her she
would eithor have to pay him 5000

THE WHY ST KING Esy"0
- SUPERSTITIONS

They were the. primitive mans science.
They were the best he could do with
his defective system of ratiocination
to explain the phenomena by which he
was surrounded. But to the civilized
man of today they are so far from be-
ing the offspring of his reasoning that
they are directly opposed to it. 1t
might be supposed that when the
stage of Intellectual life which pro-
duced sHperstitions had been passed
had died out under civilization-th
superstitions evolved from that stage
would die With it. But such is not the.
case. 1t has been said that in the past
hundred years there has been great
decline in popular superstition. But
many still cling to their beliefs.
It may be said that these supersti-
tons have been handed down from
generation to generation to account
for their persistence But unless there
is some other quality to sustain it a
conception handed down becomes void
when enlarged experience and more
perfect reasoning disprovea it. The
conception of the earth as plane was
handed down for ages. but when ex-
perience proved the fallacs of this con
ception it ceased to exist. Primitive
superstitions are as much opposed TO
moder~ experience and reason as the
conception of the earth SIS a plane. VET
they persist with astonishing vitality.
Modern ratiocination and primitive SUI
perstition would appear to be incom-
patible. yet they exist side by side.
What is the answer?

BIRDS ON WEDDING GIFTS

IN MANY parts of the country 1t is
considered unlucky to receive as a
wedding gift anything with birds de-
picted on it. This arises from an as
ISOLATION of ideas-a primitive concep-
ton of relations and, therefore, cause
and effect, sympathetic magic of a sort.
Birds suggest flight something fleet
ing-and for the married state perma-
nency is desirable. Therefore. the
wedding gift should not suggest inn
permanency or it will produce imper-
manency. The superstition is ancient:
it is found in other countries 1t is
obviously primitive.
Those superstitions which are clear
ly of primitive origin present most
interesting problem in their survival

We wish that when it is "Children's Day.
at the Fair that Ma and Pa would sometimes do
the things the kids want to do-and not lust
what they themselves think is the most interest
ing. We saw little tots last Thursday dragged
through the crowd, before the fancy-work ex-
hibit down in the stock barns, or being yelled
at to come back here" and nobody doing with
them any of the things they like to 10, like rid
ing the Merry Go Round, going up in .he Ferris
wheel, watching the tiny monkey, or looking at
the coons and rabbits-some of them didn't even
get an ice cream cone nor balloon! Aw say,
folks! go fifty-fifty with EN- anyway on this one
day of the whole year. If you cant get down
to playing with them and enjoying it at the
| fair where there are such oddles of interesting
things to play with, where are you going to do
it? Pretty they'll be so big they won't
want you along-then you'll wonder why they
choose to leave you out of their good times.
We firmly believe that the Fair Board meant
-Children's Day for the CHILDREN. They are
entitled to one out of the whole week!
