How It Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

OVERPOWERING fright, sudden
~ terror that paralyzes reason and
results In mad movements-that Is
panic. And why it is SO called Is an
interesting story barking back thou
sands Of years.
We have the word "panic" after the
Greek mythical deity, Pan. He was
the pagan god of the woods and the
fields. of the shepherds and their
flocks.
Up hill and down dale, over tall
mountains and in deep subterranean
grottos wandered Pan, hunting and
playing. dancing and performing on
his musical instrument, soaring
nymphs and perpetrating jokes on
travellers.
Pans chief abode was the forest.
And when people who passed through
Pans domain at night, possessed Of
superstitious apprehensions, became
terror-stricken, insane with fright and
unreasoning in their behavior, it was
all blamed upon Pan, to whom were
ascribed the power and the desire to
make humans frantic with frenzied
fear.
1t Is on this account that we have
the word panic" and the expression
panic terror" applied to sudden, 'ex-
treme and causeless CONSERVATION.

elimination Of waste and the growth
OF hair, the repair material not being
able to restore the sweat glands and
hair follicles. Just so do the teeth
regenerate when decay has gone far.
They can never again regain a normal
enamel, but must be satisfied with a
protection of secondary dentine.
As in all other diseased conditions,
1t is much easier to prevent than to
regenerate after disease has taken its
toll. But also, as In ell other dis
eased conditions, nature is fully able
to do the repair work that Is her con-
tinual aim, never while the causes OF
disease are present, but only when
we have ceased to make the repair
work impossible by continuance of
the causes that produced the disease.
I have seen many cases Of dental
carries so far progressed that no den-
tist would undertake repair, all coun-
selling removal Of the teeth and the
creation Of artificial dentures. Yet
these cases, when adopting a normal
diet, soon had no more carious de-
generation, the tender teeth became
sound and resistant, and in time each
cavity was lined with a secondary
dentfne of scar tissue that served all
the original purposes Of normal en-
amel.
Tooth brush neglect Is not the
cause of dental carries. but deficient
food. The whole trouble can be very
easily corrected by use of natural
foods in their natural state, If COM
patibly combined.

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

There are several threads converg-
Ing inward, fastened to the inside
OF the outer boundary line. The web
builder now goes to what will be the
center Of her web and makes a tiny
hub. To this she fastens one of the
long threads and going back over this
spoke she spins out another one. This
Is fastened to the rim of the large
circle and gradually the spokes of the
web are placed. The web of this
spider Is always known by the zigzag
band Of heavier silk which crosses ii
vertically. The huntress, placing her
feet on the lines Of her web. is now
ready for her callers.
A large insect, striking the sticky
silk lines. often does much DAMAGE
before he Is finally wrapped about
with strong silk ropes. Madam
Miranda, thrifty householder, repairs
at once the broken web. Then she
dimes.
On q clear Autumn day you may
see her busily engaged in placing
strong guy lines to some object. II
you can possibly do so, watch her. She
is going to construct the nursery. 1t
Is a handsome silken flask with a
waterproof, papery exterior. It will
have several layers Of lovely colored
silk within and there will be several
hundred tiny eggs deposited in it.
The neck Of the flask will be closed
and the mother will drop to the earth.
Spent with her labors she is now
shrunken and worn.
Through the Winters winds and
SHOWS the silken urn win swing and
during the Winter the spiderlings will
hatch. There is mass of tiny legs
and bodies packed together in the
nursery and by Spring the youngsters
will have shed their first skins. It is
known that the stronger children feed
upon the weaker ones, out this must
be the plan.
BY the middle of April or as late
as May you may see tiny little
spiders stepping from a round door
way IN the side OF the cocoon. For
some time they can live on the egg
yolk still remaining in their bodies,
then they get very hungry and MARE
their little snares. Be sure to look
Tor the cocoons this Winter.

Uncle Ray
Echo of Your Voice.

IT IS possible to have shout come
= back after 1t travels a quarter Of a
mile, or even more. The sound waves
bounce back" from q wall, a cliff or
even from the edge Of a forest; and
that is what we call an echo.
II you know q place where you can
make an echo when you shout, you
may amuse yourself by finding out the
distance from which the echo comes.
If 4 seconds pass between your shout
and the instant the echo reaches your
| ears, you will know that the clih (or
whatever makes the sound bounce
back is Just about two-f1fths OF q
mile away. That Is, allowing two sec
onds each way-sound waves move
Just as fast when they return as when
they 60 forward.
Old Greek story-tellers tried to ex-
plain echoes by speaking Of a nymph
who wasted away because she was
heart broken. Only her voice was
left. Her name, they said, was Echo" !"
We Of modern times know the cause
Of echoes; and, although the old tale
may be entertaining. we realize that 1t
does not explain what happens. Gen.
turies ago men learned that they could
see the flash Of q pistol. fired some dis
tance away, before they could hear the
sound; and since then many tests have
been made with sound waves and
echoes.
A speaker may have trouble in
large hall or auditorium, because
echoes come back during his talk. The
echoing may be stopped. in large part,
by placing drapes Of hair-felt over the
walls. Other soft material will serve
the same purpose. though not quite so
well. Plain wooden seats turn back
the sound much more than padded
seats. The clothing Of those who are
listening will absorb some of the sound,
which means that there is less echo
ing in an auditorium II it Is well filled
than II there are few persons.
Some places happen to be htted to
give back echoes. The wings of an old
castle near Milan, Italy. bounce echoes
back and forth. so echoes Of single
pistol shot having been counted. At
Woodstock, England, it is asserted that
there is a place where an echo Of IA
syllables can be heard. AS rule, we
hear only one or two syllables in an
echo.

"I wouldn't be at all surprised,

spends to that of the count in France.
The name of Earl was spelled in a
number Of ways in its early days. In
Somerset County in 1854, one John
de Erlegh is mentioned. Also in Som
erset, in the thirteenth century, Hen
~ de Erie is recorded as having been
Lord of Newton. During the reign of
Edward III some of the Erles moved
into Devonshire, and from this family
many others sprang up. One of the
patriots of the English Revolution of
l649 was one Sir Walter Erie, whose
Imprisonment for refusal to furnish
funds for the King, led to the famous
writ of habeas corpus" against lille
gal imprisonment.
Ralph Earle, one Of the first set
tiers bearing this name in America,
was no doubt of the Devonshire Earles.
He esta ablished his home in Rhode
Island in 1888 and his name appears
on the records Of Newport under that
date.
There were other settlers bearing
this name in different localities in
America, but it is likely that most of
them are traceable to the Devonshire
branch.

Further, she is now buxom matron,

At this time she is in her prime.
Her golden and black body is plump,

i Is attractive under a coat

jabot peeps flatteringly out from be-

new neckline trickery, which is such
a necessary ingredient of this sea-

like this one, are, ever SO important
to woman's morale, and when they
are made Of synthetic crepe they do
not cut too deeply into the budget.
Analysing the design of today's
dress, we see that its lines conform
to the simple treatment that the new
fabrics demand. The season is one
of few seamlines. The ones that are
used must be placed where they are
useful. Dresses no longer are deco

cut trimmings, placed on bodice and
skirt merely to break space. This
modernistic tendency is a change that
we all welcome, and we find it DOM

ther north than Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
the Mallard Ducks were in the habit
of going, and ever since the arrival of
the latter at the Smiling Pool they
had been listening for the voice of
Honker, wondering If he would stop
as usual, or he would keep on. They
were old friends, were the Quacks
and the Honkers.
"It seems as if they are late this
year" said Mr.. Quack. 81 hope moth
ing has happened to them.
Perhaps they seem to be late be-
cause we are little early this year."

two-legged hunters with terrible

doesn't have to, and he won't allow

It was only few days later when,
Just as the Black Shadows were creep

q sound that caused both Mr. and Mrs.

Wrong Guesses.

r N EVERY tournament you have an
instance where South decides ar
bitrarily that the club finesse Is
i doomed to failure. Therefore, he
plays the hand as a Vienna coup
and makes six spades, where every
other team goes down at the small
slam contract. Immediately the
bridge columnists crowd around, and
South is lauded throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Instead of
being acclaimed for phenomenal play
ing South should simply be congrat-
ulated for making a good guess. On
another hand South probably failed
to make three no trumps because he
was unable to guess the location OF
the queen of spades. But this little
episode is tactfully overlooked in the
midst Of the furry about the Vienna
coup.
Before he plays a card from either
his hand or dummy's the declarer is
often called upon to make a difficult
decision about the opening lead. One
Of the most common of guess situa-
tions Is that involving a possible
finesse, particularly where the loss of
the finesse does not mean the loss of
the contract, but where a ruff will
doom the contract to defeat. Is the
opener leading singleton, doubleton
or is he leading away from the
finessable card?
Evening star., 1934-11-20

In tournament play we usually at
tempt to obtain the contract in the
suit containing honors. This hand in
wolves three suits, each of which is
worth 100 extra points, but in most
instances North managed to carry of
the declaration for four hearts. At
one table East led the eight Of dia-
monds. North can now see that II the
eight Of diamonds is singleton 1t
will be suicide to take the finesse. If
1t Is doubleton, it's just as bad not
to take the finesse, provided North
does not get a split in hearts or drop
the queen in two leads.
The lead of card above the seven
spot usually indicates doubleton to
most players. although eights are just
as apt to be singletons as deuces.
Concentrating on this second theory
and hoping to drop the queen of hearts,
North did not take the finesse. AS
result, the opponents made one heart,
one ruff, a club and a diamond, set
ting the contract one trick. Yet how
can we accuse South of poor playing
when tomorrow we, too, may make
poor guess on a close hand?
