4 stronger hold on the popu.

celebrated on the evening Of Oc-
tober 31-Halloween. It Is q
very old holiday, having orig.
mated at the time Of the ancient
Druids. Originally, it was a
religious holiday as is indicated
by the name which means hall

not clear just how the celebraS
ton Of Halloween broke away
from its religious Significance.
One writer believes. that many
generations ago the lower classes,
for some reason, took a peculiar
interest in Halloween and invest
ed it with tales of spirits and
COLLINS. Even now, some Of the
rural people of Europe actually
believe that witches and ghosts
walk abroad on Halloween.
Tradition calls for feastinE on
Halloween. Strangely enough,

without a properly planned menu.

NEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:
~ Ny husband and I have
been separated for two and a
half years by mutual agreement.
I will get a divorce after three
years. How should sign my
name? Mrs. John Green or Mrs.
Mabel Green?
Q. Should ] discard my wedding

no you mean how should you
~ sign your name now or
after your divorce? Now you are
still Mrs. John Green. After your
divorce you may use the form
most often used by divorced
women, the last name of the
maiden name prefixed to the last
name of the married name. For
instance, If your maiden name
was Mabel Allen, you could, after
your divorce, use the form "Mrs.
Allen Green" The other form,
Mrs. Mable Green" is correct
too. But most people think that
the first form maintains more
dignity.
2. This is as you wish. Usually.
after q divorce, the wedding ring
loses it beautiful significance, and
therefore many women prefer

 There IS another condition ot the blood vessels called Raynaud's disease which occurs symm"tri- cally in the hands or feet more often in women, and changes as sociated with sudden contractions Of the hlCod vessels so that the tissues are not properly supplied with blood,
 Recently prominent doctors have examined numerous cases coming in the category of diseases described, with d view to classify ing them in some way that would lead 10 suitable treatment. As will be obvious from the description ot the condition, it is difficult ire 0uentlv even for the best trained physician 10 recognize the actual cause of the symptoms concerned.
 Control Is Possibility
 In somr cases if is possible to control the movements of the blood vessels in case they are not themselves diseased, by opera tions on the nerve control which raus"s them to contract unduly.
 In other eases in which inc Contracturc Of the vessel through nerve control is not the most prominent cause, such an opera ton would be unnecessary and in deed harmful.
 In cases in which there is 2 general hardening of the blood vessels throughout the body. the nerve control does not. of course, play any considerable part.
 The compleXity of the situation indicates again how modern scien- tific medicine attempts 10 attack disease at it's very foundation rather than 10 control occa sional symptoms as they may appear.
