Naturalized Briton Not
Looked Upon With Favor

So far from wanting foreign resi-
dents to become Englishmen, we Brit
ons discourage naturalization, Theo-
dore Maynard writes, in the American
Mercury. Englishmen, like poets, are
born, not made; and If Frenchmen or
Germans or Americans insist on re-
nouncing their own nationality, well,
that is their own affair, but they cam
not expect us to be anything but sus-
picious Of their motives
Indeed, we narrowly regard our fell
low subjects of foreign extraction. or
with foreign connections. / have oft
en- heard Ford MADDOX Ford (whose
name was once Hueffer) referred to
ms that German fellow; and Will
frid Scawen Blunt once said acidu-
lously to friend of mine: How Is
it that the two best known Sussex
poets happen to be a Breton born at
Versailles and babu born at Bonn
bay?"
Blunt for all his eccentricity and
his wanderings In Arabia, remained
very much the English squire: and the
fact that about one-quarter of Belloc's
blood was French and that Kipling
(though of pure English stock) was
brought up In India, prevented him
regarding either Of them as true blue.

Origin, of Lamp Yelled
i'm Mists of Antiuuity

Authorities on the subject say the
origin of the lamp is unknown, S. e.
Spicer writes in the Cincinnati En-
quirer 1t is known, however that
lamps were In use 5000 years ago, for
the excavations Of the ancient cities
Of Babylonia and other countries OF
the East yield many specimens indi-
eating that they were In common use
there at that time.
AT first lamps probably were made
of clay and dried in the sun. Then,
In the passing of the centuries they
were made Of iron, tin, copper, bronze,
brass, glass, alabaster and other ma
terials. In Rome and Greece, where
the fine arts reached high degree of
accomplishment, lamps were fashioned
In great beauty of form and variety of
detail and were used for decorative as
well as utility purposes. The spread
of the Roman empire carried these
lamps with 1t to the remote corners
OF the earth and they became known
by the nation In which they originated.
Eventually some OF them came to
America with the Pilgrims

STANLEY OCC IS
GRANDPA

Have you heard the news? Stanley
Ogg is grandpa Such was the word
passed along Wednesday morning.
There was born to Mary Jane Kin
near, at Mercy Hospital, Tuesday
evening, March II, st. Patrick's Day,
girl. The proud daddy is Don Kin
near, popular local office manager of
the National Cash Register Co., and
Mama Kinnear is Stanleys daughter.
To say that Stanley and Grandma
Ogg are proud, too, is just putting it
mildly. Joan Ruth is the pretty name
given the little lady. Stanley says
baby is quite the cutest little thing
that ever came into the world, and
who is there to disagree with him in
this! Well, congratulations all
around.

Moon Superstitions

The moon was in ancient times an
object of worship and has remained
to the present day the center of many
superstitions. The times for sowing
seed, gathering herbs, killing animals
for food, taking particular medicines
and treating various diseases were all
regulated by the phases of the moon.
Modern science has studied this sup
posed influence with generally mega
tive results In regard to crops, wealth
er, etc. The superstition about the
moon affecting sanity is perpetuated
in the name "lunatic," from the name
of the moon, Luna. This is an old
belief, as shown in the line of q Sew
enteenth-century English play, when
the moons In the full, then wits in
the wine."
