POcahOntas Coal

Pocahontas coal takes its name
from the coal fields Of Pocahontas,

Indian maiden celebrated in the CO.

OF our country, and the word "Poca.

Author of go West"

The expression, go West, young
man, 60 West" was first used by
John L. B. Soule in an editorial in
the Terre Haute Express, In 1851.
Soule was editor Of that paper and
in his editorial he stated that Hor-
ace Greeley could not give better
advice than this. 1t became a ia
vorite saying of Greeley, who used
1t in a letter to W. H. Verify in
1854 and again in Hints Toward Re-
form" in the form go West, young
man, and grow up with the coun-
try" Seitz's biography Of Greeley
mentions that on his western trip
to Buffalo and Detroit in 1899 he
had yet to cry, Go West, young
man, 60 West" for he concluded a
letter by saying: IF / were a farm
er without satisfactory farm, I
might emigrate to the Far West;
but l should be quite as likely not
to wander beyond the western boun-
dairy of Erie county. Pennsylvania. 4"

Festival of Harukkah an
Old Jewish Celebration

Many myths have grown up about
the Hanukkah lamps which at first
burned outside the Jewish homes as
the festival Feast Of Lights was
celebrated In the streets of Jerusa.
lem and the other cities Of the an.
cient world. Later, the festival OF
Hanukkah became primarily a
home festival and this, coupled
with the fear Of persecution, drove
the lamps indoors.
The ceremonial Of the Feast Of
Lights, as explained by an authori.
ty, follows:
On the first night one light is
Lit, on the second two, and on to
the eighth. The lights are set in q
place where people on the street
may see them, in the window or by
the door. They are considered sa.
cred and must not be employed for
any ordinary purpose. For this rea.
son a servant light (shammash)
is placed next TO them, which il
used in lighting them.
Rabbinical tradition accounts for
this feature Of the feast by the story
that when the priests entered the
sanctuary after the Syrians had
been driven out, to light the per.
petual lamp, they found a vial Of
sacred oil unpolluted, which, under
ordinary circumstances was only
sufficient for one night, but by q
miracle lasted for eight nights, I'm.
til new oil could be prepared for the
lamps for the candlesticks.
There are exhibited examples Of
common clay lamps from Graeco.
Roman times and brass, pewter,
silver and gilded lamps of more re.
cent history, ornamented with his.
toric and religious motifs. There
are the upright lamps which were
used in the synagogue and hang.
ing lamps for the home, whereon
the imagination of the designer was
given free rein to embroider the
tales Of Jewish history and myth
and the everyday objects Of his
life.

present. In her speech, she empha-
sized the need of cooperation and
impressed all present with her sin
cerity of purpose, her high ideals,
trained scholarship and magnetic
personality. Many present were
heard to say, "She's just what the
doctor ordered" and are pledging
their whole-hearted support. After
the, program, tea was served from
an deliberately decorated table,
upon which was placed a most
gorgeous bouquet of flowers, the
compliments of Mrs. Ruth Gage

perched on his back. How she got
there nobody knew until several
excited boys, who were very much

she was being chased for her very

Images Of Olympic Game Heroes
Towards the latter part Of the

Elephant Seldom Licked

he the largest land animal, but care
full checking Of facts points to the
elephant as the probable real king
Of beasts, according to Guy Muir
chic, Jr., in the Chicago Tribune.
There are few reports of his having
been defeated in mortal combat by
other creatures. He is almost invul-
nerable to attack and clever in his
actions.
Among his peculiar attributes are
his trunk, which serves both as arm
and nose; his great tusks, which
have been known to attain a length
of IL feet and to weigh 293 pounds;
his pillarlike legs, which appear
jointless as he stands erect; his
thick hide, which gives him the
name pachyderm, and his head, in

BOYS TOWN HAS
ANNUAL WORRIES

Father Flanagan of Boys Town
Is again having his annual DeceA-
Der worries, amounting almost to
the j~itters.
Since Father Flanagan's Boys
Home was started 10 years age, a
major portion of the institutions
annual maintenance cost has bees
provided by voluntary contributions
sent to the home during December
'asC hristmas donations.
Since the picture Boys Town4
made at Father Flanagan's Boz,
Home,-began appearing In tAd&-
tern throughout the country last
fall. Father Flanagan's worries
have increased, due to an increas-
ing number of boys asking sdmis-
sion to the Boys Own home.
Father Flanagan has turned
down more than 100 applications
from boys for admission this year.
Last year, before the picture shsw-
ed, more than 700 applications
were made in excess of the Homes
capacity.
1.-THE Boys Town picture said
Father Flanagan, 'has done mucA
to make the people of the coHn-
try conscious of the need
CT caring for homeless boys ans
the producers of the picture did
q service to the country when they
made Boys Town.
Incidentally, the picture increAs-
ed the demands upon our Home
and / have faith that che contni-
buttons will continue to come frstx
friends who want our boys to have
p happy Christmas and who alse
want the Home to be maintained
without difficulty throughout the
coming year. But December is =

at the end of December we will
know whether the outlook for next

The Features

AMONG the features, the eyes
"the windows of the SOUL" might
be given first place, because the
eyes give the face ninety percent
of its expression and the most
striking characteristic of the eyes
is the expression and the balance
beng controlled by the lips.
Makeup defines and accentuates
the form, the position, the color
of the eyes, the eyebrows and
lashes. BY the total effect of these
individual efatuGes we judge the
beauty or charm of the expression.
In a oma the eyebrows are
ar important feature of the face.
Much beauty May be achieved by
their arrangement. This depends
upon their relation to the size of
the forehead, the socket of the eyes
and to the line of the upper lids
when the eyes are open. The main
body of the eyebrows should never
plucked. 1t is penrAissable to re-
nov a few wild hairs that may
grow on the forehead and between
the brows, or on the lids where
they interfere with the smart de-
finition of the eyebrows.
The eyebrows should not be too
far apart, nor TOO close. In pen
cling the eyebrows. draw little
hair lines in the shape and in the
direction in which the hair natur-
ally grows. Begin the eyebrow line
above the eyelid on the inside corn
er, giving it an arch that is parallel
with the eyelid, and extending out
beyond the outer corners. The outer
corner of the eyebrow should NOT
droop downward nor upward. The
form and shape of the eye itself
are what determine the arch and
length of the eyebrows. Summed
