Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS

zeller was knighted and in 1859 was
granted citizenship in Zurich, Switz-
erland. Stephen Zeller, son Of Chris
tian, in 1919 was elected a member
Of the great Council Of Zurich, and
in 1881, elected captain Of the Swiss
confederateS, serving under the Duke
Of Milan in his Italian campaign
against the Duke James de Medici.
Hans Heinrich Zeller of this line
became professor of sacred theology
In the University Of Zurich, occupy
ing the same chair once held by the
celebrated Zwingli.
The progenitor Of the American
family was James zeller, sixth in de-
scent from Christian. He was born
in Zurich In 1860. Later he went to
Great Britain, where he became a
naturalized citizen by act of Parlia-
ment in 1909. 1t is thought that
he died either in London or at sea,
en- route to America. He had mar
ried in 1882 in France, and his son,
Jean Henri Zeller, who was born in
France, was the one to establish the
name and family in America. He
settled in Berks County, Pa.
Descendants Of this family are
found today in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and other States.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLS.
Remembering Names.

HERE is what has been said about
some of the great men Of the
past in respect to their ability to re-
member names.
Socrates knew the names Of all his
pupils and he had thousands Of them.
Xenophon knew the names OF all his
soldiers. Napoleon and Washington
were also at least fairly well &C
quainted with the names Of the mer
under their commands. Pericles could
name every citizen Of Athens. Cineas
could do the same for Rome. And
there were some twenty thousand citi-
zens in the Rome of his day. John
Wesley remembered and could recall
the names of all the people he met in
his travels. In the field of politics we
have Henry Clay and James G. Blaine,
who could remember the names Of all
they met.
OF course, all these may be Just
stories" I rather suspect that his
tory has colored the facts. Great per-
sonalities take on color with age. Or
rather posterity endows them with
coloration that they did not actually
possess.
Yet there must be some connection
between the ability to remember
names and the ability to get on well
in the world Of human affairs. Hesi-
tate to greet person by his name,
and you have to q great extent alien
ated yourself from him for the time
being. Demonstrate your ability to
name man, and you are in position
to sell yourself to him. Your name
for you is really your personality. And
so 1t Is for every one.

doubt present in the form of structural
changes in the marrow OF the long
bones, where the red cell is supposed
DO be chiefly created.
Whether or not there are structural
changes in these organs, the disease OF
progressive pernicious anemia has al
ways been quite unnanageable AFFAIR,
with certain death at the end OF a
very few years.
Recently the liver feeding, for which
DR.. Minot and associates were awarded
the prize lately, has seemed to stay the
progress Of the disease, and even bring
the red blood cells back to an approx
mate normal. The whole trouble with
the liver idea, however, is that II fed
continuously the subject becomes pro-
gressively more toxic, and dies OF some
toxic manifestation sooner or later as
o result.
When we can regard this very seri-
Gus condition as merely another ex-
preston Of toxic state, and proceed
with the usual detoxication and nor
NAL dietary correction, we find 1t is no
longer unmanageable, with or without
liver feeding, and it RECEIVERS with mo-
notonous regularity, unless much too
far gone when treatment is under
taken.
Constipation has been long present,
even perhaps resulting diarrhoea in
not q few cases, and the effect of
putrefactive changes in the food resi-
dues carried too long in the colon finds
o point Of attack, which in the primary
anemic is the hematopoietic function,
or the manufacture of blood cells, sup
posedly largely in the marrow of the
long bones. Like every other impaired
function this has come about through
the body's inability to keep itself clear
of its own debris. The resultant ac-
cumulation interferes with function of
all kinds, and the weakest organ is the
first one attacked and the chief SUI
ferer.
To recover quickly from progressive
pernicious anemia Is to clean house
and correct the diet. Make this chiefly

Spotted Wolf Fish.
Anarbichas Minor.

Anarbichas MINOR.
xCEPT the sharks, the wolf fish
has the most formidable ar
raw of teeth found in any OF
the Gulf of Maine fishes. This
spotted member of the family
IL found north Of the ArcStc Circle,
south to Norway on the eastern side
of the North Atlantic, and to Massa-
chusetts Bay on the western side OF
its range.
It is more striking looking than the
one found on both sides Of the North
Atlantic and In Cape Cod. The habits
are the same, so far as observations
have extended.
The chief difference between them
seems to be that the band of teeth on
the roof Of the mouth is shorter than
the band on either side of the common
wolf fish. These bands are Of equal
length in the spotted member. There
are other important differences to
scientists, but for general identi1ca-
ton purposes the best field mark to
| look for is in the pale olive or brown
upper parts, and the dorsal and caudal
fms being well freckled with blackish-
brown spots Of varying size and shape.
The color of the common wolf f1sh Is
rather dull purplish brown or olive
green, blush gray or slate color. Wolf
| fish fade as soon as they leave the
water, and they appear much more dull
looking than they really are.
They reach about feet in length,
and weigh about 80 pounds. Larger
ones have been caught. The catch
varies in any given region from year
| to year. It Is a resident wherever
found, and Is caught throughout the
| year.
| There is a market demand for 1t as
| a table fish, and it is usually sold read
lily under the name Of ocean catfish"
| or catfish"
The eggs are laid from November
| until January in North European
waters. They are the largest fish eggs
known, opaque and yellowish. They
are laid on the bottom In shoal water,
where they stick fast together in large
clusters, among the weeds, stones and
debris.
The baby wolf fishes are known as
larvae and are transparent when they
/ first hatch. It is some time before
| these infants resemble their parents.
| They lie on the bottom, resting on the
yolk that is supplying them with
needed nourishment. Salmon and
trout larvae do the same.
As the egg yolk diminishes, and the
youngsters become stronger, they be-
gin to swim about for few inches.
They are not swift growers, and must
float about with the tide and current,
at the mercy Of the hordes about them,
hungrily looking for helpless infants.
1t seems that the babies Matched in the
Autumn will be about 5 or inches
long the following July, and from then
| on their growth is more rapid.
The diet of a wolf fish consists
wholly of hard-shelled crustaceans,
mollusks and echinoderms. There was
a story circulated that they were
dreaded wolves among fish. After
many examinations, the story was
proved to be a false one.
The creature has a vicious bite, and
holds on with bulldog tenacity. It

You Can Be Beautiful
As Told to Virginia Vincent
BY KAY FRANCIS.

"Clothes?" Miss Francis unused
over the idea because 1t is one very
much discussed in Hollywood. "I
dress IN the things like. No, don't
even think about what my husband
likes, because he usually comedies with
my own ideas on this subject"
Miss Francis, as you probably know,
is taller than the average Hollywood
star, being feet z. She has won q
reputation, not only for herself, for
her ability to wear clothes, but also
for very clever designer, who takes
great delight in making costumes
which show understanding of her per-
sonality. He admits he would rather
design clothes for Kay Francis than
eat-or drink.
1t is her adhering to individuality
which has won place for Kay Francis
in Hollywood, where few dare TO look
themselves. Kay Francis insists upon
being herself. Her hair is chestnut
She wears it to fit her individuality
Short II she happens to feel like it..
Parted in the middle If she likes.
Down on her neck if it suits her. No
one shows her a picture Of some one
else and suggests that she looks like
the photo.
Make the best Of what you have, +"
she advises. IF you haven't a voice,
don't spend needless effort in training
it. If you have a good figure, con-
centrate on showing 1t to the best ad-
vantage. Every one has mixture Of
good and poor features. Play up the
best of what you have-and see the
result"
This is advice from brunette who
has proved that the story about male
preference for blonds Is fallacy.

most striking evidence of improved

Dresses of this type are so easy to cut

This design makes particular ap-
peal to women with practical domes-

cut in one, and has darts nipping 1t
at the waist-line. A fine fit is as
sured in the front by shaped panels
from shoulder to hem. A shawl collar
and snug belt provide the effective
finishing details, that invariably please
the ones who wear them.
