Bedtime Stories
Unjust Neighbors.

Of rain. This neighbor had said to
another that Stickytoes could call
rain and that he should be made to
do 1t. The neighbor agreed that this
was true. Both asserted they had
seen Stickytoes call rain.
They ought to know better" said
Stickytoes to himself. "Yes, sir: they
ought to know better. They have
short memories. I've been blamed
this way before and 1t is NEST unjust.
I can call for rain, but I can't call
rain Calling has nothing whatever
to do with bringing the rain. They
ought to know it. They Just don't
stop to think. If they did they would
know that when I call I am doing 1t
because I know that rain is coming.
I can feel it coming. I suppose I feel
it sooner than others do, and when
I do feel it it makes me feel 50 good
that I just have to tell everybody
else"
You know how 1t is when gossip
gets we'll started. It just travels
everywhere astonishingly fast, and it
has little regard for truth. So It
was that the gossip about Stickytoes
and his calling Of rain travelled fast
and far and wide, and there was a
great deal of talk about it, especially
among the younger folk. You see,
some of the older ones did remember
that this thing had happened before
and that Stickytoes had had nothing
to do with 1t. So 1t was that every
day he heard more and more unkind
things said about him, things that
were. Of course, untrue and so unjust.
Whereas at first he had kept out
of sight in that hollow to avoid the
heat as much as possible. he now
stayed there to avoid being seen by
his neighbors because he realized
that they were becoming more and
more angry with him, and all be-
cause of a silly story that he could
call rain.
Just as If I wouldn't call it if I
could Stickytoes said to himself.
Not one of them wants rain any
more than I do. I doubt If any one
of them wants it as much as do. I
never felt worse in my life, and all
because of lack Of moisture. Wouldn't
I be silly not to call rain i. could?
This is a funny world. A lot Of people
believe what they want to believe,
even though there be no truth in it,
and all the talking in the world won't
make them believe anything else.
just don't dare show myself now.
There is no knowing what they would
do to me. Yet I haven't done them
any harm. and I have nothing at all
to do with the weather"
Do you wonder that Stickytoes felt
that his neighbors we're most un-
just? Of course he had nothing to
do with the weather. You see. it mad
happened in Summers past that after
long. dry spell the voice of Sticky
toes had been heard, and very shortly
after rain had fallen. The reason for
this was that Stickytoes' skin is very,
very sensitive, and when there is the
least bit Of moisture in the air he
feels it, So, before the coming of a
storm he will feel the first bit of
moisture in the air before any one
else can detect any sign of it. Then
he knows the rain is coming and he
expresses his joy by calling.

THIS surname is a variation Of
the name witt, or White The
old Anglo Saxon form Of spelling was
"hwit." Undoubtedly the name orig
mated from the Latin word "albus," p"
meaning white, as the first mention
Of the name occurs in Donesday
Book, as Alvin Albus. otherwise
Witt" 1t is though. that the sur
name was assumed by some remote
ancestor because Of fairness of COM
p.exion, as it was a popular fad to
adopt some personal peculiarly as
ones cognomen.
The American family Of this name
was founded by Tjeltk Claessen De
Witt, who came over from Holland
to New Amsterdam about 1858. Tierck
later settled at Wiltwyck, which is
now Kingston, N. Y. He was lead
ing spirit in his day, STRIVING his COM
munity in many public capacities In
1856, he married Barbara Andriessen.

Alder Flycatcher (Empidonax
TraillD.
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

r OOK into the alder patches Of
the open country, il you want
to see the gay little alder fly
- catcher resorts. You rarely see
the bird away from the cool shade Of
these trees. Within their branches it
fits to and fro, seemingly eager to keep
out of sight.
Even the olive.green back and olive
brown wings blend with the color of
the leaves, while the grayish and yel-
low colors of the underparts blend we'll
with the shadows.
Among the f1ycatchers, this is the
brownest member. In Arkansas, Ken
lucky and in the mountains of West
Virginia, Western Maryland, Pennsyl-
vania and Northern New Jersey you
may see it. but rarely hear it, for the
alder fycatcher is not singer. His
alarm note is a single pep" and his
song resembles that of his cousin, the
Acadian fycatcher, an "ee-zee-e up"
with strong emphasis on the rasping
zee. The singer jerks his notes out
rapidly, almost doubling himself up
and exploding with the effort.
After watching him for some time at
his singing, you are not surprised that

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Why Call It Chinai

CHINA was originally chinaware,
signitying literally ware from
China. This was pottery and earth
enware Of fine, almost transparent
texture, manufactured Of course in
China, and introduced into Europe
in the sixteenth century, through Por-
tugal.
For two centuries thereafter, prac-
tically all the chinawart so-called
came from the Orient. from China
particularly. Early in the eighteenth
century. however, Europe began set
ting up its own manufactures. Some
Of these became famous. The first
factory. for instance, was built In
Dresden. which became known
throughout the continent for its ex-
cellent product.
The Persian name for earthenware
of this type is chini, which was the
name by which it was described
throughout India and the East gen.
orally.
The close trade relationship between
England and India. coupled with the
natural tendency to cut down a longer
term for a commodity commonly used,
resulted in shortening chinaware to
china. This became the generic Name
regardless Of origin-of the utensils
with which We are familiar.

The Old Gardener Saws !:

It will be wise to remove the
flower heads of rhododendrons
after the plants have ceased
blooming, but this should be done
by a twist of the thumb and
finger rather than with knife
or clippers. Care should be TAX
en-, too, to pull only the faded
flower cluster, because the buds
for next years blooms are formed
Just under the old flower heads.
No wise gardener will make the
mistake of cultivating his rhodo-
dendrons. 1t is much better to
cover the ground around the
plants with peat moss or leaf
mold in order to keep the ground
cool and moist. This is because
rhododendron roots grow close
to the surface of the ground.
It is desirable also to remove
the flower heads Of lilacs if any
still remain. They detract from
the appearance of the plants and
draw upon their vitality to an
unnecessary degree.

he remains silent 50 much of the time.
Even during migration, the alder n.y.
catcher Is silent. While they are
courting you would never know these
birds were around, if they did not call

Their Winters are spent from Yucca

Wishes Cannot Induce
Heritage of Talent
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Associatio
and OF Hygeia, the Health Magazine

The belief that certain thoughts held by an expect
ant mother viii induce a specific characteristic In her
unborn child doesn't seem TO be borne out by the facts
Inheritance goes beyond mere thoughts or wishes
There is now good evidence that the color Of the
hair and its form. whether curly or straight, pig
m%entation Of the skin, and color Of the eyes are
characteristics inherited to a considerable extent by
the child from the father and mother.
1t is also likely that tall parents will have tall child
rem. and short parents will have short children: but.
Of course. each Of us is not only the direct result Of
factors coming from the mother and father. but also
OF factors coming from previous ancestors. Occasion
ally there is q throwback to an ancestor who lived
long before.
There are ways OF improving height-for example.
the correct amount Of vitamins, the proper diet and
outdoor air in youth. There seems to be good evil
dence that japanese children born and raised In the
United States grow taller than japanese children born
and raised in Japan. This is probably due TO the diff
ferent type Of nutrition and manner Of living OF the
Japanese in this country.
Diseases as such are not inherited. We do, however
inherit a type Of constitution which seems to make
some Of us more susceptible 10 disease than are others
To have tuberculosis 1t is necessary to get the germ
Of tuberculosis into the body, but some peoples bodies
provide q better soil for tuberculosis than do the bodies
Of others.
There appears to be good evidence that cancer is
inherited to some extent, but the conditions Of mar
rage among human beings are such that the control
Of cancer by the control Of marriage seems hardly
feasible.
There is no reason to believe that a woman who sits
for hours before a beautiful picture or practices for
hours on q musical instrument can make her child
artistic or musical. There is, however, rather good
evidence that a musical ear or a musical memory may
be inherited.
Nevertheless the parents may. after the child is born,
expose Ii to a suitable environment. either musical or
artistic, so that any special a~ptitudes which the child
may have viii be more fully developed.

Millions For Relief

At the height Of the Civil War. northern citizens
learned with a shock OF dismay that their government
was spending 100000 a day to carry on the fight.
Such expenditures. in that period. seemed astrono-
mical - too big for the mind to grasp.
One wonders what those startled citizens would
have thought II they had been told that eventually
their government would spend two and one-half
times that much merely to take care OF the victims
OF unemployment. They would have looked, probably,
for the speedy end OF the world.
Yet that Is Just what is happening. Relief Ad-
illustrator Hopkins reveals that federal relief rolls
are now carrying 22.OOoO0o persons. with daily ex-
penditures for food and clothing OF 100000.
It is a tremendous. unheard-of load, this relief bill
1t has to be-carried-but 1t is terribly obvious that 1t
can't be carried forever.
