FLY-AWAY MAMIE

"A after you," ended Nannie's
mother. But by this time Nannie-1was
out of sight and hearing. 1t was al
ways that way. This was just like
her-going off half-cocked and losing
the end of her mothers directions.
Now the chickens would all escape
while she was bringing in the eggs
Mamie was what the neighbors called
q "fly-away child"
Then she grew up She was pretty
and she was pursued Christopher pur-
sued her with slow and deliberate
methods. Christopher always weighed
the consequences before acting. The
ground was solid, not only beneath
Christopher's feet, but also several
yards in advance of him. Indeed, he
cut a poor figure beside young Dash
wood, who would take a situation by
storm, who WON'T he won at abby
his ardor and sweeping ways. Dash
wood posed and gestured before Nan

head and his air of Take me or leave
me and be quick about it-you won't

of the fact that young Eastwood was
so gay and romantic, and Christopher
unhurried and rather heavy, Mamie
really liked Christopher better.
Then, one day at the railroad sta
ton in town, she thought she saw
Christopher's broad shoulders through
the Christopher and another
girl. AS she watched he bent and be-
slowed an unmistakable farewell kiss
upon the lady clinging to him. Then

Eastwood Joined her. During their
half-hour journey Mamie brought mat
tiers to a head and reached home en-
gagged to be married. There on her
own porch was Christopher, who had
never been to town that day at all.
When Mamie had been married for
a year young Eastwood left her. She
had enough money to scrape along
Without that was all. One day she

is 1T NISSAN?

THERE seems to be much difference
- of opinion and uncertainty concern
ing the surname Nissan. However.
there is no uncertainty concerning the
fact that the family was founded in
this country by one John Nissan,
born in 1914, who made his home In
Flushing, L. I. 1t is not known where
he was born. That Is, some authori-
ties say that he was born in England,
while others say he was a native of
Amsterdam, Holland, and others have
1t that he was Huguenot from Mont
pelier, France. 1t would be interest
ing for some member of the Nissan
family to trace to Its source each one
of these traditions.
The fact that the Kissams were al
ways strong supporters of the English
or Episcopal church certainly suggests
that they were English rather than
Hollanders, though there are some in
stances of families of Dutch name
having become devoted Episcopalians.
Sometimes the fact that the head Of
the family married women of that
church led to the future alliance of
the family with that church.
1t is also recalled that the Kissams
were strong Tories in the Revolution,

before long, her friends heard that she

But Christopher went to see her La
boriously and methodically he told her

would show Christopher that, even if
she was destitute and beggar, even
if her husband had deserted her, she
would keep to the narrow path of vir-
tue, she wouldn't be insulted by any
one, she was still Dashwood's wife,
So she interrupted him with old-time
vehemence and Christopher went away
for good. Too late she learned that

a fact that has been cited in proof OF
the English origin of the family. But
this might be explained in another
way. The Kissams were from the first
persons of prominence in Queens coun-
ty, Long Island, and intermarried with
the Whitehead, Rutgers, Hewlett
Treadwell, Combs, Van Brunt, Wander
bilt and other prominent families In
and about New York city.

Is derived from an earlier form of sur

ton of a saints name was quite usual.
HolIand-At first sight you might
suppose that the first to bear this
name was a native of the Netherlands,
but 1t is an English name derived
from a small place in Lancashire
called Holland.
Maud-This Is clearly matronymic
That is to say, 1t is surname derived
from the mother rather than from the
father.
Lowe-This is usually a German
Jewish name and, of course. is from
the word meaning lion in German.

Vision and judgment, fact and dream
His was the truly balanced mind,
Not skeptical, nor yet extreme.
No thinker quicker caught the CLEAN
OF newborn stars in human skies,
And yet he tested star and stream,
On earth and heaven kept his eyes.
This was his greatness: he could be
Leader and comrade, master, man
He wore the robe of dignity,
With human brotherhood his plan.
He was the first American,
A pattern for a nation now,
His soul as large as heavens span,
His heart as tender as it's dew.
This was his greatness: Washington
Met strength with strength, yet could
be kind
Without the look of weakness-one
Who tirmness, gentleness, combined.
His was the truly balanced mind
That none could flatter nor defame;
To glory and ambition blind,
He won, unsought, deathless name.

NATURE PLAYS JOKE;
COURTS HAVE PROBLEM
OIL LAND SINKS INTO GULF
OF MEXICO MYSTERIOUSLY.
BATTLE UNDER WAY.

Dame Nature played little joke in
the vicinity of Austin, Tex. recently,
and now the courts have strange
problem to solve.
Gaillard Peninsula, embracing 100
acres, sank into the waters OF the Gull
of Mexico from some unexplained
cause. AT the time two companies
were drilling for oil there. Oil devel-
opment stopped when the land sank,
however.
Land Owned by State.
All submerged land, when it bor-
ders on the coast, becomes state prop
erty when it sinks, according to law.
So a syndicate of business men asked
the state to lease them the land for
oil drilling, declaring that the sinking
of the land took it away from the oil
companies.
The two oil companies, however,
will fight the effort. Local authorities
support the claims of the business
men, so it is likely the battle will be
taken into the state courts. Mean
while the peninsula, covered with salt
water, has ceased to be an industrial
beehive.

Cailauz Orders Budgets Re-
 figured With This in View

Paris, June F U@ - Finance Minister Caihaux today urged a policy of economy at a meeting of the French cabinet. The ministers promised him they would trim ex- penses to the utmost. NJ. Caillaux asserted that France must live with in her income, and must get that revenue by taxation If she expected the world to have confidence in French finance.
 NJ. Cailloux gave out an extract from a letter he had sent cabinet ministers in which he told them he could not accept their estimates of expenditure for their departments for next year, wrote that he would reduce all their budget increases to one-third of the requested amoun:S and would have his own staff revise the estimates he regarded as ex- csseive.
 After his fourth conference with parliamentarians regarding his financial measures, NJ. Caillaux said he would announce details of his financial rehabilitation plan as soon as this years budget is voted Sy parliament.
 Today's conference was he!a ta M Caillaux's office where c group representing the left bloc discussed their differences with the finance minister.
 The only announcement made after the meeting was that it had been definitely agreed, as had previ- ously been understood would be the case, that 1.2OO,000,oO francs of the receipts from the Dawes plan payments this year will be used by France as budget receipts, but that next year the Dawes payment will be devoted to payment of French debts, reconstruction and other pur- poses.
