Mace Has Long Been
Symbol of Authority

An interesting bit of ceremony
takes place each day as the house
of representatives convenes. A dis
tinguished-looking individual enters
the chamber and walks slowly to
the front bearing aloft the mace,
which the house maintains as its
symbol of power. At the speakers
stand he turns to the right and fas-
tens the staff on that side of the
platform. It is an official announce
ment that the house Of representa-
tives is now in session and vested
with the power to transact legisla-
tive business.
The mace resembles q flagpole
capped by a cleaning metal eagle.
Its keepers sole duty Is to appear
twice on the floor of the house on
days when it is in session, bringing
the mace in when the body con-
venes and, when it adjourns, carry
ing 1t back to the Office of the SER
geant-at-arms, with the same DELHI
crate step.
The only time during a day of
business when the mace is removed
before adjournment is when the
house goes into committee of the
whole to consider some piece of spe-
cific legislation. When it is Off
cially in legislative session again
the mace is returned.

"Blue-Blooded" People
Fauorites of Fortune

There is, of course, no "blue
blood" but the term, generally used
in a complimentary sense as denot-
ing gentle birth, does really bark
back to color origin. Not Of blood,
though. The reference Is to the
color of the veins.
Families who through several gen.
erations possessed sufficient wealth
to enable them to escape manual
work developed skins Of a very fine
texture, and through the latter the
veins showed blue. That would be-
especially apparent in the hands
and forearms. The skins of those
who, unblessed with wealth, had to
work became hard, and the veins
were hardly observable.
Thus, although "blue-veined" or
"fine- skinned" would have been more
correct, the term "blue-blooded"
came into Use to denote the aris-
tocracy, and it would seem, from
old writings, that it was the popu-
lar belief that the term expressed
the literal fact. - Kansas City

II think that VIII, lasting fame
will be mine when I am gone will
come through my brush and not
through anything have done on

Gaue 1t Away

Press agents do not always train
their clients wisely. There is, for
instance, the now sorry lady who
showed the interviewer a pair Of
silver candlesticks. 'They were
given to my great-great-grandmoth-
er by King - of Germany" she
explained. '"They are very old and
valuable, all hand-carved, and have
been preserved by my family
through generations"
So the interviewer handled one
tenderly, and just naturally turned
to the mark beneath which would
testify to their ancient ancestry.

Just after America entered the
war, all sorts of amateur flyers
were enlisted. One Of these, who
had been a member of some local
military organization, presented
himself to grizzled old general Of
ficer noted for his very brusQue
manner.
The lad, IN a brand new uniform,
beautiful and useless, snapped into
something that looked like a Brit
ish salute once removed, and stam-
|mered: Lieutenant Smith, air serv-
ice, reporting for duty"
The general took one look and
|grunted: "Ninety EIGHT per cent air,
and two PEI cent service"

Keep Fire Out of Woods

i One of the simplest details Of fire
prevention lies in cleaning up the
woodlot to reduce the fire hazard,
says the American Tree association.
Cut out all the dead trees and the
weed trees, such as cherry, horn
beam and gray birch, leaving enough
partially to shade the pines. The
waste brush should be piled and
burned in a place and at a time
when there is no danger from fire.

Pet Dog Feeling Blue
 For Want of Attention

Northampton, Mass. March 2s P) -"Beans," the Boston terrier that the Coolidges sent from the White House some time ago to be pet and companion for Mrs. Lemira Good hue. the first lady's mother. is suf- fering mentally from a disjointed nose this week. The reason is that when Mrs. Coolidge came here early yesterday 10 visit her mother, who is critically i'll, she brought Black berry," fuzzy black chow. It ap- pears that Blackberry monopolizes the attention of Mrs. Coolidge rather more than appears to Beans to be justified. Hence it is a rather crest fallen Beans that mopes about the Coolidge former home in Massassoit street where Mrs. Coolidge is making her headquarters. It seems to be case of out and out jealousy.
