There isn't any news" replied
Carol That is, there isn't any news
unless it is news to you that some Of
the people up in the Old Orchard are
talking about Jenny Wren and Mr..
Wren.'
HUH" cried Peter. "If you had
said that Jenny Wren was talking
about other people it wouldn't have
surprised me any. Did you ever in
your life hear a tongue go as her
tongue can? But what are the neigh.
bors saying about Jenny and Mr..
Wren?"
They are not really saying any
thing" replied Carol. "They are Just
limiting at things. It Is a rumor that
is going around. You know what a
rumor is, don't you. Peter?"
Peter rubbed his nose thoughtfully.
TIT is a story about something or
somebody that no one seems to know
the truth about or just how it came
to start, isn't it?" asked Peter.
Carol nodded. That's it," said he.

Distorp of 5Dour name

RACIAL ORiGIN-Irish.
SOURCE-A oiuep name
oOURCE-A given name

You might well imagine that this
family name was of German, or at
least Teutonic. origin And so it is
in great many cases. But not al
ways. 1t so happens that a great
many Of the people you'll meet bear
ing the name in one or other Of the
foregoing three forms, trace it back to
the Irish clan name of "O'Eire"
The clan name is compounded of the
given name of it's founder, a chieftain
named "Earc," and the usual prefix

"Ui'0. OF course, in such compounds
the possessive case Of the given name

in the general sense. And the geni
tive case Of the name '1Earc" in the
Gaelic Is Fire" To many OF us this
Irish method of INJECTING noun by
changing its vowels instead of adding
to or changing the ending seems
strange. Yet it is no stranger than
forming a plural of mice" from

However this Irish given name
comes from a word meaning speckled

great deal toward developing neatness

have at the child's place a tray which

Use and Care of Brushes

| care to make them last as long as the
materials from which they are made
| can withstand ordinary wear and
| tear. 1t is easy to see at a glance
whether brooms and brushes have
been we'll cared for. Bristles and
broom corns show which way the
wind of good housekeeping blows just
as surely as straws do in the realm of
the out-of-doors. If they are straight,
though worn, in the brushes, they
have been used right and cared for
right.
Never stand a broom or brush on
the bristles or corns. This bends and
tiattens them, and they will not sweep
as clean as when straight. If the
broom cornS do have a slant and the
hair in brushes gets matted, soak
them In lukewarm water. While plia-
BILE push them back into shape and
pull them straight. Stand handles up
right on the floor, so that the corns
and hair dry while in correct shape.
1t may be necessary to give them oc-
casional treatment while drying to in
sure them remaining in position.
A Binder For Broom.
Bind the corns of the broom to-
gether and hold them so with the top
of an old stocking cut little shorter
than the broom cornS and drawn down
over them. This IS genuine help,
and it could be wished that something
of this sort could be done with
brushes. But the bristleS or hairs
usually flare "a little in brushes, which
prevents such treatment. Also the
hair is short.
Ways of Hanging BrOoms.
Brushes and broomS may be hung
up in closets instead of being made TO
stand on their handles. There are
three ways OF doing this. One is to
put a screweye in the top of a handle
and hang the broom on peg or on
large cup hook screwed beneath
shelf The second, which is recon-
mended is to bore q hole with a brad
awl In a broom handle about two
inches from the top. Run strong
cord through this hole and tie in a
hard knot. suspend the broom by
this loop. The third way is TO make a
groove all around the handle with
jackknife and run the cord around
this groove. Tie the cord very tight
before making the loop, SO that it is
secure in the groove. Then tie the
ends together and suspend the broom
or brush by the loop
Use brushes and broomS in such
way that they hold their shape. Turn
them while sweeping or brushing and
ends will wear more evenly, as we'll as
keeping comparatively straight.

Pilot of Plane in
Arctic Says Dirigible
Best Craft Up There

Philadelphia, Oct. 7-(AP)-Lis-
tening to the radio and playing
penny ante" were the only forms of
amusement afforded members of the
Macmillan Arctic expedition on its
trip to the frozen wastes of the
north, Earl Reber, chief boatswain
in the navy and commander of the
airplane MAS of the Macmillan ex-
petition, told friends here today.
Reber, home on special leave OF
absence, left the Macmillan party in
Nova Scotia about a week ago and
hurried to his home here by train.
Unable, because OF orders from the
secretary of the navy, to disclose the
path of the planes or the nature of
the discoveries, Reber was reluctant
to talk about the trip. He declared.
however. that the expedition had
proved two things. One was that the
the Arctic Circle, and the other that
any exploration by air should be
conducted in dirfgibles. The trip
from the point of view of plane
handling he said, was the stiffest in
his nine years of flying service.
Reber admitted that he would like
to visit the Arctic Circle again, "but
not in an airplane."
I'VE couldn't see thing" he said.
when you could look down through
the clouds, 1t was ice, snow, hillocks
Of ice, more snow"
The airplanes, he said, would go
in groups of three, in hours of end
less flying, returning many times to
known point of safety.

M. LUTHER AND N,

talk FOR PEACE

Locarno, Switzerland, Oct. 7.-(AP)
Not only peace now, but peace for all

ed M. BRAND, the French foreign min
lister, today in an informal consulta-
ton of the two statesmen which stands
out conspicuously as the biggest single
event since the opening Of the security
conference.
The two leaders stole quietly away
from Locarno and, meeting at a seclud-
ed spot on the shore of Lake Maggiore,
had frank talk on European. prob
lens as whole, and especially how
best to consolidate the peace Of Eu-
rope.
The meeting of Cancellation, marked
by an expression of the determination
of both statesmen to do everything
humanity possible to Danish the Fran
co-German war spectre. has injected a
new ray Of optimism into the political
atmosphere. despite the fact that 1t
did not result in the fashioning Of a
formula whereby France can guaran-
tee. in a special way, the territorial in
tegrity of Poland and Czecho Slovakia.
The problem will require in a way
the consent of cabinets at Paris and
Berlin, for France and Germany will
find 1t difficult yielding from their
original position without the support
of their home governments and home
parliaments.
The conference itself. which met for
only an hour today. achieved no sub
statial progress. The -spokesmen OF
the various delegations admitted this,
but they qualified 1t with the declara-
ton that fresh suggestions were forth
coming concerning the necessity OF q
clearcut understanding that eompulso-
nv arbitration must be the guiding
principle of the Rhine pact. This Is
what the Allies have been contendins
for, and the jurists were asked 10
frame new articles dealing with this
subject. Presumably these articles
will be discussed at the plenary ses.
sion tomorrow, which is fixed for 2.So
p. NJ.
Compulsory arbitration IS feature
Of the Geneva peace protocol, whose
fundamental principles the French are
anxious to keep to the fore infiexibly
and which many other nations at the
recent league assembly also approved
as the only sure safeguard OF world
peace.
Locarno, therefore, like Geneva, ap'
pears headed on the road where he who
refuses to arbitrate and commits war
like acts will be hailed as an agrees
sor and punished.

Testimony today covered the wild
est ranges of subjects of any single
session since the hearing began.
Captain James T. Moore, of the
marine corps, denied that any jun
ior naval officers were hesitant to
give personal views to investigating
bodies, despite their assertions to the
contrary.
Rear Admiral w. A. Moffett.
naval air chief, urged that the Shen-
andoah be replaced with a dirigibic
three times its size, and declared the
navy must not be only the treaty
navy. but have it's full quota of avn
ators" as well.
He denied without mentioning
Colonel Mitchell by name, his
charges that amateur bungling"
by nom flying naval officers was re-
sponsible for the Shenandoah dis
aster, failure of the Hawaiian flight
and the inability of naval planes with
the Macmillan Arctic expedition to
accomplish their purpose. He also
opposed establishment of a depart
ment of defense or separate air
corps in the navy.
Major Thomas Milling, stationed
at McCook Field. Dayton, Ohio, who
was called at Mitchell's request, en-
dorsed the colonel's national defense

some length, simplifying a prepared
statement by exhibiting several
charts designed to outline the func-

under the proposed defense system.
