Who Are You?'
The Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

There were several branches of the
Waring family to settle in America
during the early days of colonization.
The New England branch was repre-
sented by Christopher Waring; the
Virginia and M1yland Warnings were
founded in 1643 by Sampson Waring,
who came from England 10 Lower
Norfolk County, but later moved to
Calvert County, Md. where he estab-
lished his estate at the Gifts. He
was prominent lawyer and member
of the Council of the colony.
The Carolina and Georgia Warnings
were founded by Benjamin, who came
from Lea, near Wolverhampton, STAFF
fordshire, England. He arrived on the
ship Loyal Jamaica and settled at
Pine Hill, S. c. He became a dis
tinguished colonist, serving as a mem-
Der Of the Assembly, major of militia
and In other official capacities. He
married Elizabeth Beamer. Their son,
Richard, in 1880 was a member Of
his majesty's Council from Charleston,
S. C.
Descendants Of these early settlers
are living today in practically every
section Of the United States.

Adversely
BY ARTHUR DEAN, Sc. d.

p HAVE a friend who was told by
his physician. after a very careful
and elaborate analysis, that he
i had cancer and that an operation
would afford only temporary re-
lief. He was sentenced to death
within IL .monthS-not less than 8
or more than IL months of life were
before him.
The man did not inform his family.
He sold all his doubtful securities,
strengthened his stronger ones, gave
a general house to his finan-
cial affairs and made a new will.
He went back to his work as though
nothing had happened. In fact. he
carried his work beyond the 12-month
maximum period that he was to live.
1t so happened that he died Just IL
months after his visit to the doctor.
I often wonder what I would do
If had to face disaster like this.
How much of a quitter would I bea
How well could ! stand up under it?
Perhaps I am thinking this today
because have received a very in
teresting letter from q young woman
who has told me q no-quitter story.
Here it is:
Dear Arthur Dean:
Il have to smile when I read in
your column about the love affairs
Of youth. smile because I think
OF problems Of tremendously greater
importance which do nos seem to
occur to these kids.
Il graduated from college with q
diploma and q wrist watch, and
walked into the world with head high
and eyes bright. No job came to
me, because had no experience. Two
years slipped away. I became one of
those relief people. At 3 o'clock in
the morning would tuck my feet
into stockings that could not be
patched any more, put on a coat
that felt like cheesecloth against the
bowling winds and swapping cold,
and would walk my weary way to
the court house there to wait three
hours outside and, after being admit
ted, to wait five or six more hours
standing in line with hundreds of
other unfortunates.
Still another year wasted. Home
busted. Mother on charity. I a hobo.
Then, by miraculous good luck, I
found job, chauffeuring.
my education was worth while
and still have courage and hope,
which have been tempered with pa
tience and long suffering. Today, in
my early twentieS, I am old and
learned and experienced. And out
of it all I have gotten this little
philosophy. I quote Hilaire Belloc:
From quiet things and first be-
ginning
Out of the undiscovered ends,
There's nothing worth the wear of
winning,
Save laughter and the love Of
friends
"UNDAUNTED."
I like the person who tells his story
and shows he is not a gutter. I like
even more the person who does not
even tell his story and still does not
quit. I have constantly before me
on my desk these words: What
greater thing that I have done than
all the worthless did. A greater thing?
Yesl To keep that greater thing hid"

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

short Of the number she knew should
be there. She counted again and this
time she was three short. She began
to be worried. On third count she
was still three short. She called her
sister and the latter counted the hens.
She counted them twice.
There are three missing" said she.
THAT is what I make it," replied
the first one.
do you suppose they have wan
dered away or do you suppose some
one has taken them?" asked the other.
Wen soon find out" was the reply.
So they went all around among the
buildings calling "Biddy. biddy, biddy.
bid" And. of course, getting no re-
sponse. Then they looked all through
the hen yard and the hen house for
signs of a thief and found none.
1t is very mysterious" said one.

Uncle Ray
Moons of the Planets.

- NATURE has not treated the
planets alike. Some are large
NJ and some are small. Some
1 have much sunlight and
others have little. Some have
moons and others have none.
It Is about the moons that I want
to speak today.
Before the time of Calico people
did not know that any planet except
the earth had moon; but Calico
found four moons going around a
single planet, Jupiter.
During the last three centuries,
with larger and better telescopes, men
have located other moons. We now
know that Jupiter has at least nine
moons. while Saturn Is blessed with
8 or 10! (There has been some doubt
about the tenth moon" of Saturn.)
Mars has two moons and Uranus
has four. Neptune and the earth
have one apiece. So far as we have
learned, there are no moons going
around Mercury, Venus or Pluto.
Most of the moons in the solar sys-
tenn are smaller than that which
shines on our earth, but two moons of
Jupiter and one of Saturn are larger
than ours.
Most Of the moons of Jupiter and
Saturn travel eastward, but Jupiter
has one which moves westward and
Saturn has two.
How interesting it would be to live
on planet with nine moons!
The moons of Mars are small and
speed about very swiftly. We call
them Phobos and Deimos. 1t Is be-
heved that each of them is less than
10 miles in diameter.
The coming Spring and Summer
will be fine period to study the
moons of Jupiter, and the best time
will come in May. If you could use
the l00-inch Mount Wilson telescope
you might find all nine of the moons,
with camera if not by sight; but this
cannot be done with a small telescope.
It is possible, however. to see four
Of Jupiter's moons with small tele-
scope or with pair Of good field
glasses. When you once see this sight
I think you will not forget it.

BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: Is 1t correct
for a man to remain behind his
desk seated to shake hands with .
man visitor? Does it matter if the
man is a salesman or customer?"
Answer-A gentleman naturally
rises and shakes hands with every
visitor who enters his ofice-exactly
as he rises to greet visitor at home.
But he would not be apt to rise TO
greet a salesman who Is one OF his
own employees.
Dear Mrs. Post: A long time ago
we were entertained by my husbands
employer and his family, for which
we made no return. Last week they
asked us to the house again. and now
I feel that we should do something,
but I hesitate to invite them since
the difference in our social status Is
as wide apart as the opposite ends Of
our town. What should do?"
Answer-It is not expected that you
do anything further than to be adapt
able and agreeable. II they ask you
many times then you can return their
kindness in whatever way your own
good sense prompts. Perhaps you can
make something to send Mrs. En-
ployer or send her few flowers at
Easter or on an anniversary or birth
day.
Dear Mrs. Post: Even though 1t
is many months since the holidays, I
must find out about something. My
employer gave me gift at Christmas
and when I opened it his wife's name
also was on the card. I thanked
him in the Office, but I never saw her
after that and I hesitated to write her
because she is q very formal person
and recognizes me only to the extent
of How do you do"
Answer-Her formality is all the
more reason why you should have
written her q brief note to thank her
for whatever it was, but it is too late
now-for this time.
Dear Mrs. Post: am employed
In the personnel department Of large
company and often have occasion to
take new employe to the head OF
another department. I never know
how to introduce one because this
man becomes the girls direct superior
and can't very well mention her
name first"

~ RAY FOX had caught fat
4 hen and done it so quickly
I 7 that there had been but one
~ Squawk of fright and this
had alarmed the other hens
hardly at all. He had disappeared
around a corner of a shed so quickly
that none had seen him and after
few minutes of aimless wandering
about and clucking they had forgot
ten the matter.
Keeping the shed between him and
the house Gray Fox carried that hen
to the woods, only a short distance,
and there in sheltered hollow he ate
until there was nothing left but
feathers and a few bones. It was the
first full meal he had had since he
was caught in trap and lost three
toes, and that was many days ago.
II feel like a new Fox" said he as
he lay down for a nap. When he
awoke he acted like a new Fox. That
fat hen had given him strength and
courage and chased away despair. For
a time he lay there in pleasant con-
tent. There was no sound Of pursuing
Dogs. 1t was very different from
what had followed the stealing Of the
last hen before this one. Then he
had killed a dozen, but eaten only one.
Dogs and hunters on his trail and
then traps had been the result.
II don't believe that hen has beer
missed" thought he. Perhaps an
other wouldn't be missed. I believe
could eat another right now"
But Gray Fox was growing in wis
dom. Yes, sir. he was growing in wis
dom. He didn't try for another hen
that day nor the next day. 1t wasn't
until the third day that he stole down
behind that shed and peeped around
the corner. Again he waited patiently
until hen strayed near his hiding
place and he could catch her without
frightening the others.
It wasn't until after he had taken
the third hen a few days later that
those hens were missed. Two sisters
lived alone in the little farm house,
a hired man coming in now and then
to do the heavy work. They were
elderly women, those sisters. One of
them had the care of the hens. One
morning as she was feeding the hens
it struck her that the flock didn't look
as big as usual. Then she counted
them. The first time she was two

those of American toads. But they
are somewhat smaller, and you can
see some Of them have been laid in
even rows. The eggs develop very
rapidly. You cannot afford to stay
away from the pond too long after
you have discovered them.
All through the late Summer you
can find these toads and see how well
fitted they are by nature for taking
flying leaps. They are difficult to
catch and make strong protest at
being held prisoner.
You may see the toads in parks,
gardens, along the dusty roads. in
pastures and fields. They are har-
pooning insects by the hundreds, and
getting fatter every day.
The adult toad is yellowish or
greenish gray. and all members have
spots and stripes, while the under
parts are never spotted. This is a
field mark to look for. The skin is
not so rough as is its neighbor's, the
bufo, and the warts not so large. The
expression is rather benign, and hav-
ing once looked into the eyes Of the
Americanus and Fowleri you do not
confuse the two again.

Must be a hawk or an owl" said
the other, though I haven't seen one
around and I haven't heard the hens
make fuss as they usually do when
either of those birds appears"
Anyway, We will keep the hens shut
in their yard instead of allowing them
to wander about outside as We have
been DOING replied the other.
So the next time Gray Fox paid
them q visit he was sadly diSappoint-
ed. Those hens were shut in the hen
yard. Once this would not have
bothered him much, for he could have
climbed that wire fence with ease.
Now it was different. With that
crippled paw he would have hard
work to do it. Besides, he would scare
the hens too much.

A come Fowler's toad creeps
wv from his place of hiberna-
tion. He Is slower to an
swer the call than the
American toad. So 1t is later that
we hear the chorus of these fellows
from the pond. You learn to know
1t perfectly in July, when it Is the
only chorus coming to us. and 1t has
wonderful carrying qualities. It is a
metallic, doleful sound, and heard in
the middle Of woods, close by the
brook or pond, 1t is rather creepy.
Go to the marshy edge of the pond
or to the brook, where you can sit
comfortably on a log or stone, and
watch the males singing. The small,
black-throated performers sit for
hours in the shallow water, and when
they initiate their throat pouches you
think they will surely blow up.
II you wish to pay them a visit at
night, and 1t Is lots of fun to do so,
you can discover the ardent choir
by their throatS. With a fiashlight
to shine them" their drums" look
like great light-colored, transparent
balls or white bubbles in a black pool.
