THIS is a well known surname in

as well as in the United States. In
ancient records it was spelled in
many ways, perhaps the first being
the Scottish way. DickSoune. Dickson
and Dykysoun.
The chiefs of the Clan Dickson
are descended from the Keiths, Earls
Marshall of Scotland, and a mighty
power in themselves. 1t is said that
Keith could journey from the north

shelter overnight in one of his own

eminent leader of this noted family.

Dixon is we'll known in the Southern

II A recent meeting in Holly
n wood of the Southern Califor-
IN mia Cosmetologists, the honor
1 L of having the most perfect
type of oval face, from the
standpoint of screen beauty, was voted
to Sylvia Sidney.
It was her oval cheeks that won
her the honor, according 10 Wally
Westmore. veteran makeup director
and expert, who has had charge OF
a makeup department dealing WITH
more than 250,000 women in the last
10 years. The graceful oval contour
is considered the ideal for the perfect
feminine face. 1T was the elliptical
symmetry of Miss Sidney's features
that made the choice an easy one,
explained Westmore.
Careful measurement revealed that
% her face, from the tip OF her
chin to hair line, is exactly three
times the length of her nose. 20 The
distance between her eyes is exactly
the width of one eye (3) Upper and
lower lips are the same width. "a
Her eyebrows follow geometrically per-
feet arcs sweeping up either side OF
her nose to her temples. (5) The
space from her lower eyelid to the
upper lid matches exactly the space
from the upper lid to brow. This is
how it should be from the standard
of studio beauty.
(6) Furthermore, her eyebrows
start in the same line as the inner
corner of the eye, and Cd her face is
exactly twice as wide as the length
of her nose. Thus it forms a perfect
oval
This standard of beauty serves as
guide to makeup experts in bringing
Photographic perfection to leSs-fa-
vored screen actresses. and it is also
useful to those appearing on the
legitimate stage, as well as to the
average woman who wants to make
the most of her good looks.
But 1t is her coiffure and not her
makeup tricks that gives the feminine

Blue Crab.

We WHO would a-crabbing go.
must bring 'em back alive.
This being the time OF the
l. Il year when grabbing is at its
height. there are many in
teresting things about these pugna-
cious fellows that are not generally
known. and that will make you better
acquainted with their family history.
There are three species of crabs In
the United States that have the
necessary qualities for popularity
abundance, wholesomeness ana gooo
flavor. The blue crab is the favorite
and is found on the Middle ana
Southern Atlantic Coasts and the Gun
of Mexfco. - The second Is the rock
crab of New England and the third Is
the edible crab of the Pacific Coast.
The range of the blue crab Is from
Massachusetts, Bay to South America
1t is common from Cape Cod to Texas.
On the greater part Of its long coast
line range 1T is very abundant In
Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Bay and
the protected channels to be found
along the South Atlantic and Gulf
Coasts the crabs are so numerous
they may be seen literally IN swarms'
The favorite places are where the
waters are shallow and the bottoms
are soft, where vegetation is plenti-
full and fishing easy. Though the
crab is usually found in salt water, 1t
may be seen in large numbers in
brackish waters and occasionally in
fresh water. The crab can live for
some time out of water. In or out OF
it, you have no doubt found be Is a
pugnacious fighter, stubborn OF Will
and a Idle hard"
The manner Of hunting perfected
by these fellows is one OF stealth.
They lie buried in the mud in the
pathway of innocent fish and smaller
animals, and with only their great
eyes and claws exposed, wait for their
victims. The crab is not at all finicky
about its food. Dead or alive, it Is all
the same.
Growth among crabs is mere mat
ter of changing from one suit to an
other. Each time the change is made
the creature emerges an inch or two
more portly. Being hard shell or soft
shell is a matter of one day. Grabs
at this time are rather "low in their
minds" in other words, are below par.
Many people even think there are
two species, a hard shell and a soft
shell. The age limit of crab is not
over three years.
During the Winter they lie dormant
at the bottom and are easily aroused
by a warm spell of weather.
At the age Of l year, the crab Is
fully matured. At this time the fe-
male sheds her last coat. She
emerges from her shell larger. very
soft, and greatly wrinkled. This con-

ITO Lose Caste"

WE HAVE an inquiry for the ex-

in ones status socially or as man TO
man.
The word caste comes directly from
the Portuguese "casta" meaning race,
really unmixed race, from the Latin
"castus," pure. But the expression
Ito lose caste" has its source in the
Indian EAST system OF hereditary
classes into which the native popula-
ton of India is divided. Mahatma
has brought this to the con-
sciousness of the world by his efforts
in aid Of the "Untouchables" who
are condemned by that system Of
castes, for no reason except that OF
birth, to a life of shame and misery.
