Will Act As Receiver.

The Herndon bank is the tenth ma
tional bank to close since Inaugural
ton of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. All depositors in the
others have been paid within a short
time after closing.
The F. D. I. c. will take over the
bank as receiver, and, after proving
claims of depositors, will pay them
the amount Of their deposits up to
$4,000, receiving an assignment of the

depositors as claimants and will pro-
ceed with liquidation. Officials said
no individual would be named re-
ceiver, but that the corporation, as
such, will take over the bank for

revert to the F. D. l. c. after de-
positors are paid

instance, if John Doe has two ac-
counts which total more than $4,000,
the Federal Governments liability
does not exceed that amount. If,
however, his wife has one of the ac-
counts in her name, each will be paid
of in the amount of his or her de-
post, up to $1,000.
The F. D. I. c. was appointed re-
ceiver by the controller of the cur
rency under the Federal deposit
guarantee law.

TROM Brazil to New Jersey this
- ghost walks, runs, and disap-
pears into the ground. You
- should try chasing one of these
sidesteppers. You will realize your
speed is not what it used to be-.
Ocypode means swift-footed, and
truly this fellow is well named.
When you go out to find the elusive
creature, look for him among the
scrubby growth on the edge of some
sandy beach or on the beach itself.
In either of these places you need not
be unduly surprised to see gray or
dull yellowish- white crab peeping at
you from a deep burrow. In the dark
earth he looks strangely white. A
small part of the carapace upper
shelD folds down like band between
the eyes. And on each side of this
band and across the face there are
large sockets for the eyestalks.
Deciding you are apparently only q
stationary object, the ghost leaves his
cave and darts across the sandy space.
This Is when you start up and give
chase to this ghost" The crab waits
a bit to get his bearings. His stalked
eyes are raised while he stands on
tiptoe to get a better view. If sud-
denly alarmed he will press himself
close to the sand, hoping his coloring,
which matches so well with the sand,
will protect him.
Your creeping, stealthy footsteps he
detects by vibration. Before you can
touch him he is far ahead of you, his
large, powerful front claw held high
and at a menacing angle. This claw
is twice the size of the other one, but
both are very sharp. As you seem to
be getting a bit too close for his peace
of mind, he hurriedly scrapes burrow
for himself with his legs by throwing
the sand out Sidewise with q sudden
jerk. You see your "ghdt" dis
appearing too rapidly to suit'you. So
you use stout stick. He accepts your
challenge and grasps it tightly. This
little stubborn act of his viii permit
you to pull him forth. He may dart
away, dodge, double and race for his
partly completed burrow. All before
you can say Jack Robinson"

Stepnother
Bit Difficult
BY EMILY POST.

BY EMILY POST.
THIS letter Is from a high school
l. girl who asks: when I am
spending the evening with friend
and other friends of hers, who hap
pen to be strangers to me, come to
see her, am I supposed TO stand to
shake hands with them, or may ]
acknowledge her introductions from
where I am sitting?"
Answer-If they 90 toward you with
the evident intention Of shaking hands
you would, of course, rise to greet
them, but If they stand where they
are and merely nod their heads and
smile and say, How do you do" then
you, too, merely smile and bow from
where you are.
Dear Mrs. Post: How should in
troduce a young stepmother to my
friends without making her feel un-
comfortable?
Answer-You introduce your very
intimate friends, calling your step
mother whatever name you gave her,
and saying, This is Janet Jones"
Or, If your stepmother is very young
and you call her Mary, you perhaps
reverse it and say, Janet, this is
Mary" or, if you love her very dearly,
Our Mary" More formally you
would say, Mrs. Older, my step
mother" Many people think that
"stepmother" has a standoff sound
rather giving the impression of dis
like. This is, of course, an oppro-
brium handed down from the fairy
tales and has nothing to do with real
stepmothers. In other words, my
stepmother" or my mother-in-law'
ought not to imply any greater lack
of affection than my aunt or my
cousin! 1t is not the same as
'mother"-but then no name is.
Dear Mrs. Post: Our club is hav-
ing a dinner and We are arguing
as to whether a POSTMASTER should
be introduced or whether he should
introduce himself.
AnSwer-At large and formal din
ner or other meeting at which many
| strangers are present the president or
other officer of the club usually
prefaces the introduction of the speak
ers by making e short welcoming ad-
dress and concludes his remarks by
introducing the chairman Of the eve
ming, and officially turning the rest OF
the program over to him. But If the
dinner, or meeting, can in any sense
be called informal, the toastmaste-
takes charge without any preliminary
introduction.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is one supposed
to remove his or her glove when
about to shake hands with a very
high parsonage, such as the President
of the United States?
Answer-A man wearing a street
glove-yes! White evening gloves
no! A woman-never!

their children, and so, In time, blu1-
fing became as natural in this par
ticular family as it was to eat and
drink.
1t must be admitted that the bluff
fing of Buffer the Adder has an ex-
cellent excuse. 1t is done wholly Tor
his protection. 1t was thus now, as
he faced Unc' Billy PosSunl. Bluffer
knew that Unc' Billy could kill him.
He knew that he would be helpless II
Unc' Billy should pounce on him.
He didn't know how much Unc' Billy
knew about him. II Unc' Billy real
ly knew him his bluff would fail, but
if Unc' Billy didn't really know him
his bluff might save his life. So what
Buffer was doing was pretending to
be like his cousin, Buzztail the Rat
one knows that Buzztail Is to be care
fully avoided, for his bite is deadly.
He is an ugly looking fellow as he
shakes his rattle and threatens to
strike. Yes, indeed, Buzktail Is an
ugly looking fellow.
So Buffer the Adder just makes
himself look even uglier. He does it
by f1attening his head and neck until
he looks twice as dangerous as does
Buzztail. At the same time he shakes
his tail, just as if it had rattles on
it, and he Kisses twice as loud as
any of his cousins can hiss. Alto
gether he looks like the sort OF fel-
I1of he hast 10 Ioay
alone, and all the time he is as harm
less as any one very well could be.
Now it happened that this was the
first time Unc' Billy ever had met
Buffer the Adder. Perhaps it is nc
wonder that he hesitated. He knew
Buzztail the Rattlesnake, and had nc
desire to have anything to do with
him. This fellow looked much more
dangerous than Buzztail. Slowly Unc
Billy walked around Buffer. Buffer
turned so as always to face him. He
continued to hiss. He even made short
lunges toward Unc' Billy. Certainly
there was nothing that indicated feaI
about him. He looked like an angry
and wholly unafraid person, and Unc
Billy thought this to be the case.
"Ah reckon we-uns don't want trou-
ble," said Unc' Billy, grinning as only
Unc' Billy can grin. Perhaps he want
ed to show his sharp teeth.
Buffer said nothing, but he die
hiss a little louder than ever. II
had a most unpleasant sound. Unc
Billy can hiss himself. and sometimes
does so. when he's doing a little bluff
fing on his own account or has lost his
temper. Unc' Billy backed away
mo, sub, we-uns don't wany trouble,
said he. "Ah reckon All done beer
misunderstood. All just happened thi;
way. Yo' needn't be peeved with me
Brer Snake. No, sub, yo' needn't
All isn't aiming to bother yo', anyway
whatsoever
Buffer merely hissed, and Unc
Billy backed up little. Then, shak.
ing his head, as if he didn't know
just what to make of it all, Unc' Billy
| started of about his business. Buffer
watched him go. The instant Unc
Billy was out Of sight Buffer stole
away through the grass His heac
and neck were no longer fiat. HI
looked TO be just what he was, ar
entirely harmless person, endeavor.
ing to get away and out of sight a.
soon as possible. Unc' Billy Possun
had gone of afraid of Buffer anc
now Buffer was going of afraid o.
| Unc' Billy PoSsum. There is a lot Of
that sort of thing in the great world
| if you did but know it.

Ghost Crab (Ocypoda Arenaria).

Your lively ghost is night walker,
a scavenger who hunts in the dark for
dead animals, plants or beach fleas.
Go to a beach on a moonlight night.
There are swarms of them on the
Southern beaches and back some dis
tance from them. They dash after
their prey and will spring upon it as
a cat does on a mouse. 1t is a weird
and eerie sound to hear the creatures
race rapidly over the leaves or sand.
queer crunching sound every once
in a while indicating a meal in
process.
In the Spring only do these crabs
seek the sea. Then it is in answer to
the mating call. Otherwise, the deep.
cool sand is the chosen home site.
The young may be seen in the late
Summer racing over the hot sands.
They are just as pugnacious as their
parents and just as swift. They dig
their burrows with speed and dispatch
or dart across your pathway with
lightning like speed.

THIS surname is a variation of the
word cavalier" meaning a
horseman or knight. Cavalier" is
derived through the French "cheval, F"
from the Latin "caballus," meaning
horse. The surname has been spelled
various ways, Caverly, Calverley,
Caverley. This coat Of arms was
confirmed in 1914 to Sir Anthony
Caverley, a direct ancestor of the
American Caverlys or Caverleys. Their
common ancestor is traced as far
back as 1903, to one Hugh Calverley.
The founders of the Caverly fam
lily in America were two brothers,
George and Charles, who came over
in 1885. Their ancestry is clearly
traced to Sir Anthony Caverley, who
bore the armorial devices here shown.
