Altho the miners officials accepted
the proposal which would have result
ed in a shameful betrayal of the
strike the employers refused to ac-
sept any terms that would even per-
nit the union to survive in any form.

VALERIE

NF ENVIABLE portent is Valerie,
the charming and aristocratic
name which has usage only among the
highest classes in this country, but is
a common favorite abroad. 1t signifies
'healthy" and comes from the old
Latin word "valeo," meaning ito be
healthy Since among the Romans
sound health was believed to make a
man valiant, the name was applied to
the old Sabine Valerian gems, one of
the NEST notable and oldest in Rome,
who had little throne to themselves
and were allowed to bury their dead
within the walls OF the city.
The first Valeria at Rome was the
public-spirited lady who took the lead
in persuading the mother of Coriolanus
TO intercede with her son to lay his
vengeance aside and spare his mother
city. Valerie rose to fame in France
but quickly spread throughout Europe
and crossed the channel into England.
Another form of the name. Valentino,
was also popular Valentino Visconti
was the wife Of the duke of Orleans,
brother of Charles VI of France. She
was one of the brightest lights in that

YOUR EARS

THE researches of the American
= Folklore society show that it is
a general superstition in this country
that small ears indicate that a person
is stingy; large ears that he is gener-
Gus. This is one of the many super
stitions-some of them traceable to
very remote periods-which may be
classed under the general head of
physical characteristics. Some of the
superstitions with regard to the sig
nificance of physical characteristics
"have been expanded into pseudo
sciences and fill whole libraries of
learned INSTRUMENTATION" as Professor
Newell has remarked.
In many cases the significance as
signed to certain physical Characters
tics would appear at first glance to be
purely arbitrary in its designation

the fact. 1t is merely that the link

DU BARRY

r ORN August 10, 1746, of a poor
woman, in the little French town
or Vancouleurs, and rising to be mis-
tress of Louis V, and really ruler of
France-such is the career of Marie
Jeanne Du Barry.
She was placed in a convent in
Paris, and at sixteen entered a mil
liners shop. Here her beauty began
to bring her notice, and her frank,
sweet manners brought all the young
dandies and titled men fiocking round
her. Morality was a cheap thing.
then, it seems. At all events, the girl
willingly went to live in the house of
an adventurer, Jean du Barry, where
her presence drew a big circle of men
whose money he won by gambling.
The brother of Jean was persuaded to
become her nominal husband-so the
girl became the COmtesse Jeanne Du
Barry, and was duly presented at
court
From that time, she ruled Louis XIV
absolutely, up to the very day of his
death. Courtiers and ministers existed
by her favor alone. Louis lavished
jewels on her and built her a wonder
full palace at Laciennes. After his
death. she was banished, but the queen
interceded and Du Barry was given a
pension and permission to live on at
her palace. Benjamin Franklin. and

visited her here, and were charmed by
her gracious ways and quick wit. She
was one of the victims of the Revou-
ton and was beheaded in Paris in

POST MORTEM RADIO

Pay tribute to the originality of Sam r. kmball
of San Francisco who has ordered steel coffin for
himself equipped with radio, that he may hear what
is going after he is buried
KimbalIs idea is that the soul fingers near the
physical body until the day of judgment and
ton, and so take advantage of receiving set.
If he is right it is very reasonable thing to do.
Sam kimball may get lot of postnlortem entertain
ment and information out of that set between his inter-
ment and the blowing of Gabries trumpet, provided
the batteries hold out.
What he is doing is not essentially different from
what the Indians did when they had horses, dogs and
food buried with them for their souls to after
death. Most of the human still act upon
such belief. Perhaps placing flowers graves is
derived from 1t. Survivors cannot altogether avoid
hope that the dead will enjoy those flowers.
Kimball merely expresses the idea in more mod
and practical form than usual. BUT materaistic
very! Should not liberated soul be able to know
what is going ON without such machine?
