Annie Laurie Home Helds
by the Family Since 1911

The home of the famous Annie
Laurie, the heroine of the Scottish
ballad sung in every corner of the
world, is known as the estate Of
Maxwelton, Durnfrieshire, Scotland.
The ownership Of this property
goes back more than 300 years,
says a writer in the New York Her
aid Tribune.
Maxwelton House, originally q
fortress Of the Earls of Glencairn
and known as Glencairn castle, has
been in the hands of the Laurie
family since 1911.
Seventy-one years later, In 1882,
Anna was born, the daughter Of Sir
Robert Laurie. The first Baronet
Douglas of England, the author Of
the original words Of the ballad, was
her first sweetheart, but the engage
ment was broken off, and in 1908
she married Alexander Ferguson,
of Craigdarroch, a neighboring es-
tate. Her picture and that of her
husband hang in the dining room
at Maxwelton.
There are 1000 acres in the prop
erty, which overlooks the Cairn
river. In the house there are four
reception rooms, two boudoirs, If
teen bed or dressing rooms, two
bathrooms and servants accom-
mediation.

you have been able to get in touch
with your AUNT. To make her a
visit Unexpectedly would be rather
bad taste and I doubt seriously if
she will be home. Write her and
ask her when she would like to
have you.
L. F. H.-There are two boys
whom I like very much. Which is
the most interested in me or am
being just silly fool?
Ans: No you aren't acting
silly for you doubt these boys and
you have reason to believe they
aren't interested in you. Your sus-
picions are quite true and don't feel
upset because your very first two
boy friends didn't love you.
M. E. S.-Why is it I can't keep
a boy friend? Tell me what to do
to attract the boys?
Ans: Your circle of friends is
small and you haven't had the OPP
pOrtunity to meet many boys. Make
as good appearance as possible to
your friends and adopt a good dis
position. This alone will help you
to gain many worthy friends.
l. A. G.-My husband is trying
to make trouble for me, I think
and I want to know what would be
the best step for me to take?
| Ans: Fearing your husband
seems rather ridiculous think.
He is uncOncerned about you and
has been for some time. Your hus.
band has made up his mind to lead
his own life alone and he will re.
main away from home for quite
some time.
L. Tell me, did someone take
my insurance policy and will I ever
be able to get it again?
Ans: Search around your house
thoroughly and the policy will b
found. If you keep it a few years
longer it will prove to be of some
value to you.

Origin Of "CoD''

There have been advanced a num-
Der of stories as to the origin Of the
word cop" as applied to police
men. The word cop is supposed to
be derived from the Old English
verb to cop, meaning to catch, to
get hold Of, to nab. This meaning il
retained in the slang expression to
cop off, meaning to grab; to make
away with something sought by 9TH
ers. In England, policeman Is Of
ten called a copper, that is, one
who cops or catches offenders. As
applied to a policeman, the word
cop dates back to 1859. The verb
cop, as used in dialect English, has
been traced back to the Seventeenth
century. There is no evidence that
cop was originally the abbreviation
of conStabuIary Of police. Another
story Of the origin Of the word Ia
connected with the following: In 1929
Sir Robert Peel organized the first
modern police force in London.
Members Of the police force wore
blue uniforms with very large cop
per buttons.

have planned to give up my career.
Is there a chance of my taking up
the course of study I desire and
my mastering it successfully?
Ans. The change is just what
you need. Since money isn't any
problem with you then by all
means take up the course in AVA
TION. 1t does seem to me that a
few years of flying and you will be
ready to take up your present ca
reer again.

return to college this fall and COM
plete his last year. He wants to
get married right away but I feel
differently. Tell me what to do.
Ans: Insist that he get his last
year of college work. It would be
almost tragic to stop now as his
whole future depends on this last
years work. Refuse to marry him
this year and he will go back to
school, but be firm in your refusal.
R. T. TT was handed a note
on a bus trip recently. Should I
believe it's contents?

handing out notes of this order and
there isn't any truth in them. He
was just trying to arrange an in

on the golf course for several
years. Is it worth my while to
carry out my practicing?

tempted to do. Continue to prac-
tice you may reach your goal
some day.
M. L. J.-Will my boy friend
am in love with send me what he
promised and will we ever marry L?

downward. While no reliable esti-
received by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics indicated that the
California grapefruit and le.aon har-
vests will be 80 per cent less than
the estimates on January !. Naval
and miscellaneous oranges will be 26
per cent less, and Valencias 80 per
cent less.
Arizona grapefruit ha1 also suf-
fered from extreme low temperatures.
Fortunately for consumers in other
parts of the country, Texas and F1o~-
ida crops have been unaffected by the
freezing weather that his California
and Arizona, and as these other
States have large crops, e: ecially of
grapefruit, housewives can still get
most citrus fruits at satisfactory
prices.
FURTHER reports on the freeze in
the Imperial Valley of California
indicate that the lettuce crop has been
badly frozen and that sizes will be
reduced. Most of the celery crop is
probably ruined. Discolored carrot
tops indicate considerable injury to
young carrots. The full injury to the
pea crop is not yet determined. Be-
cause Of the severe damage to Cali
fornia peas in December, Mexico has
sent us much larger shipments of peas
than usual.
Looking on the other side Of the
picture. however. it is encouraging to
consumers to note that the Winter
crop Of snap beans in Florida is AZ
per cent greater than the 1886 pro-
duction. and there is some increase in
celery, which may Offset the California
losses. Florida also has a 80 per cent
increase in acreage devoted to its
Winter crop Of tomatoes, but part of
this acreage goes to Gamers. Early
Irish potatoes are on the increase in
Florida and Texas
Texas is growing "a per cent Of
this years early spinach acreage.
While the amount to be used by can
ners has not been ascertained, it Is
safe to predict that we can get plenty
of this important green vegetable all
Winter because the total crop Is 20 per
cent larger than last years.
"A complete set Of figures Is not
available for kale, broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, eggplant. green peppers. cauli-
flower, limas, or Summer squash, but
all Of these out-of-season foods have
been coming to our tables in Midwinter
in increasing supply. We have ceased
to be surprised to find them in our
markets.
For years now. Strawberries also
have been coming North from Florida
in December, January and February.
The quantities used to be very limited,
and the price high. 1t was not until
1920 that one could find Florida straw
berries measured in carlots. That
year there were so carlots shipped

Stretching and Bend
ing Keeps Muscles
Supple.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A WAISTLINE is another one of
those precious possessions that
we humans do not miss until we've
lost it. We allow it to expand and
thicken. Then we don't look as girl
ish and don't wear clothes nearly SO
well as we did with the waistline.
Speaking Of clothes, I was looking
through an album recently at the
lines We wore less than 10 years ago
the straight up-and-down line, with
an artificial waistline, or belt at any
rate, somewhere below the hips. Con-
trast these lines with the lines of to-
| day and you'll agree that one of the
incest things about the latter is the
fact that fashion places the waistline
where it naturally is.
Frankly, what would you do for a
waistline? The simple bending and
trunk-twisting exercises that We did
as children in school are still just
as effective. They're death on the
spare-tire amidships. They keep a
Waistline trim and svelte.
Stretching is fine for that smooth
young line, that flatness of abdomen.
You can do your stretching exercises
in bed every morning before arising
Stretch arms overhead-stretch upper
trunk up and toes way down, as
though upper and lower trunk were
having tug of war right at the waist
line.
Our screen and stage stars have
special exercises for the waist. The
majority prefer the bending to the
floor, and rotating the trunk from
| the waist. This one-a favorite of
an opera starts little difficult, but
once you master it, you'll agree that
it's worth bending backward in order
to acquire a waistline:
Stand IL inches from the wall with
your back to Il. Lean over back
ward until your hands touch the wall
and climb your way down the wall
until the hands are touching the
floor and you are bent over back
wards in an arc. Feel the pull at
the waist and abdominal muscles.
When you walk, make a conscious
effort to hold the abdomen in Ditto
when standing or sitting All that
helps to define the waistline. If
you're a sportSwoman there's nothing
grsnder than golf, tennis and bowling
for waistline.

What effect have the floods in the
Middle West had on foodstuffs here,
and how the California and Arizona
freezes are going to upset fruits and
vegetables upon which we have come
to rely.
The Bureau Of Home Economics
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture answers in this wise:
In the stricken areas the terrible
floods of the great central river sys-
TENS have meant. of course, almost
complete paralysis of the normal dis
tribution Of food supplies-staples as
we'll as perishables and luxuries. Many
thousands of pounds of f1ood-dam-
aged food, dangerous because Of pos
sible contamination, will have to be
destroyed. Weeks will elapse before
flood sufferers can resume ordinary
ways of living.
"RUr outside of those sections the
flood situation has not seriously
disrupted food distribution, says the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
Cross continental trains, bringing
Western and Southwestern fruits and
vegetables have been rerouted around
the flood area. although some of the
shipments may be delayed. Because
of the special situation in California,
produce. usually coming East from
that State at this tir e of year will be
reduced in quantity. The supplies
that go from Florida to Chicago and
Northern markets served from Chi
cago via the Mississippi Valley routes
are either cut off or sent North along
the Atlantic Coast and then West
Products from the Southwest can
reach Chicago without entering the

grown daughters have not one vestige
Of personal freedom. They are never
permitted to have any more associa-
ton with the opposite sex than If
every man were leper. They are not
allowed to have a date or to have q
boy call on them at home. They may
not 90 to q movie with q lad or to
any place of amusement unless they
are escorted by papa. They are cut
out of all of the fun that other girls
