with Paul. He rightly points out
that to Christian death means
entering into perfect fellowship with
Christ, and unlimited service for
him. Every human limitation will
then be put aside knowledge, serv-
ice, communion. will all be perfect
and complete.
He would not, however, turn away
from his present privilege and duty.
Since it is Gods will that he should
abide in the flesh he win do it in
such a way as to make 1t literally
true that to him ITO live is Christ"
Every life has a purpose and that
ruling passion which controls and
directs a life is what should be
written into the sentence, ITO me
to live is - What is it-money,
position, pleasure, sin? Or is it
Christ? If he is your life, then
you enter into the New Year with
the assurance that it will be full and
satisfying, and gloriously useful.

Goodyear, Discoverer Of
INFLAMMATION Methods

Visions of a rubber civilization
haunted the brain Of a debt
burdened inventor in 1853. The man
was Charles Goodyear, discoverer
Of the inflammation process for rub
Der, and he wrote book about his
struggles, his triumphs and his
dreams which today is among the
rarest Of Americana. One Of the
very few extant copies is in the divi-
sion Of rare books of the Library
Of Congress and is among the rari-
ties Of mechanical literature, says
a writer In the Washington Star.
Goodyear specifically did not ad-
wise eating rubber, nor wearing it
next to the skin, but otherwise he
proposed using it as the chief mate
rial in about anything man could
need. He foresaw rubber books,
rubber roofs, rubber streets, rubber
sails and rubber ships, rubber pi-
amos, rubber bridges, rubber vio-
Inns, rubber boxing gloves, rubber
saddles, rubber shoes, rubber har-.
nesses, rubber canes, rubber dishes

Name, Canada, Is Traced
to the Irouuois Indian.

The derivation of the name Can
ada accepted by our leading histo-
rians who have investigated the rec
ords makes it an Iroquois word, still
surviving among them In the form
Kanata, meaning a collection Of
dwellings or a settlement. Cartier,
in one Of his vocabularies of the
Iroquois speech, says Of it: 'They
call town (ville) Canada" reports
a Canadian Resources bulletin.
Its evolution into a place name,
Canada, can be fully followed in the
narratives Of Cartier, wherein it APP
pears first in his account Of his sec.
ond voyage In 1885, observes writ
er in the New York Times. The
two Iroquois Indians whom he had
seized at Gaspe and taken to France
the preceding year informed him on
entering the Great River (now the
st. Lawrence) that their home was
in Canada, which proved later to be
an alternative name for the village
Of Stadacona, on the site Of Quebec
city. Cartier himself seems to have
extended the word to the surround
ing region as a convenient terrific
rial name-much as the name Que
bee has been extended from the
city to the province.
Accordingly this Interpretation Of
Canada is well attested by unim-
peachable documents: but the same
is not true of several other current
explanations, which are nothing 9TH
er than guesses based on chance
reSemblanceS between Canada and
certain other Indian or imaginary
roots, e. g., from segnada Canada
meaning ''men seeking land Cor a
country)"; Montagnais root mean
ing foreign; mouth Of the coun-
try" descriptive of the st. Law
renee; a Spanish AGA NADIA, mean
ing nothing here" Il. e., in golO |;
a Spanish cana, "a reed" extended
to an equivalent Of beaupre.

shOe-rOssing Old Custom

Shoe-tossing is older than either
confetti or rice throwing. Ancient
Israelites started it. When a piece
of land was purchased, the buyer
tossed sandal on it. That gesture
symbolized change of ownership.
Later, Anglo-Saxons carried it into
the marriage ceremony. The father
would remove one of his daughters
shoes and pass it to the bridegroom.
The latter would touch the maiden's
forehead lightly with the shoe, in
dicating authority had passed from
papa to the new husband. A tap be-
came a toss with passing years.
Parents would hurl shoes at newly
married couple to convey the infor-
nation they no longer were respon-
sible for the young lady.

water Hemlock Kills Live STOCK

~@O~-@@SS-- 49,
BY far the most virulent plant
that grows in the United States ts
one which is very little known, al
though it has caused many fatali-
ties. This is the water hemlock, or
cicula-very different from the spot
ted hemlock whose extract was used
to execute Socrates. It grows in
low, swampy places nearly every
where. In the spring when the
ground is soft and its roots can be
pulled easily from the soil and have
IN attractive odor which causes
hildren to eat them. It causes
neavy losses in live stock. The
water hemlock contains a substance
known as cicutoxin-allied to the an
dromedotoxin on the honey which
affected the Greeks Of the Anabasis
which is an extremely active
poison, causing violent spasms.

Of Congress
p edicted

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. W.p)-A
long, hard session of congress which
may continue throughout the sum-
mer was forecast by Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead. D., Ala, Tuesday
after house leaders had reviewed
the legislative situation with Pres
ident Roosevelt at the White House.
There is absolutely no hope for
an early adjournment of congress" "
Bankhead said on leaving the con-
ference. I'VE may even be here
until cold weather rolls around
again."
Bankhead intimated that Mr..
Roosevelt virtually had completed
presentation of the administra-
tons legislative program to con-
gress. AS outlined in the White
House messages it includes reor-
ganization OF the nations judiciary
and the U. S. Supreme Court; Crop
insurance; aid to tenant farmers;
government reorganization; re-en-
actment of so-called nuisance taxes
yielding $780, 100000 annually and
establishment of a national power
policy.
In addition, Mr. Roosevelt is eX-
pected to endorse a comprehensive
program of maximum hour and
minimum wage legislation; a neu-
trality measure giving the president
wide discretionary power to keep
this nation out OF war and an act
to prevent war profiteering. There
have been many reports, SO far
unconfirmed, that he would again
ask the senate TO ratify the st.
Lawrence waterway treaty. 1t was
rejected by the senate in the early
days of the New Deal.
Bankhead said tonight that he un-
derstood Mr. Roosevelt soon would
send to congress message on labor
relations. He explained that this
subject was not discussed at the
conference today and he could give
no hint of what the document
would contain. 1t was believed
however, that the message would
embrace the presidents recommen-
dations for coping with problems

DEADLINE ON
NEW SECURITY
TAXES NEAR

Last minute instructions were be-
ing issued today by Nat Rogan.
collector of internal revenue for
southern California, on the new
Social Security taxes, first of which
are due by the end of this week.
Deadline has been set at Feb. 18th.
Warming was issued to all en-
ployers of one person or more that
a return must be filed under the
Federal Old Age Benefits provi-
sions of the act.
"A number of employers" said
Collector Rogan, "are under the i'm
preston that because they do not
have eight persons on their payroll
they have no return 10 make and
no tax TO pay. This is mistaken
impression. Under the Old Age
Benefits provisions ALL employers
of one person or more are respon-
sible for the one per cent excise
tax on their payroll. and one per
cent OF the employees wages. There
are certain exemptions but these
are determined by the type of serv-
ice performed and not by the num-
Der on the payroll" J"
Collector Rogan also called par
ticular attention to the fact that
employers of aliens must include
their salaries on their return. Citi-
zenship is not a requirement for
the benefits of the act. nor does
citizenship provide exemption
from the taxes.

troll or protection of business as
under NRA codes.
II have a bill in draft form-not
that I anticipate presenting it in

kins said. 1T is being used as a
basis for discussion"
Her announcement came shortly
after President Roosevelt had de-
clared at a press conference that
the administrators labor legisla-
ton program still was in the study
stage She said her bill would be
submitted.to the chief executive be-
fore ii is turned over to congress.

contained in the general clauses
for safety in the NRA codes.
The secretary said she had talked
with Mr.. Roosevelt, Attorney Gen.
eral Homer S. Cummings, and labor
leaders on the subject.

Rockville, Maryland
Dear Sir:
/ hope that you will publish this
letter so that the residents of our
county will know of the fine incident
of which / want to tell you
Last Thursday went out to Seneca
and discovered that a colored man
who had once worked for me was on
the point of death because he needed
oxygen.
drove into Rockville and went to
the Fire Department and asked if the
Rescue Squad could help until had
some oxygen sent out from Washing
ton.
The request had hardly been made
before Mr.. Lyddane had ordered the
Rescue Truck manned and it was on
the way to the sick man. They took
out tank and half of oxygen and
kept volunteer workers on the job ad-
ministering the oxygen about days
day and night. sent out only one
tank and when / came back from
Philadelphia where I had to go on
business on Saturday it was to find
that the Fire Department had sent out
two additional tanks and had instruct
ed two people out there how to adj
minister the gas.
It does seem that volunteer Res
cue Squad who did this fine deed is
worthy of very large vote of
thanks.
Surely this incident should be an
inspiration to all civic-minded people
and believe that Rockville should be
proud of its Fire Department. Ger
tainly / am glad to be in a vicinity
where I have to call upon it, that is,
if in need.
Very truly,
