LANGRORNE, Pa-You're a gre garious soul, and you prefer a group to an individual So you think your daughter Barbara ought to feel the same way.
 You can't understand why she cringes when you bring her into a room filled with company. You don't understand her fondness for her playmate Betsy-they're insep- arable-so you insist on inviting all the neighbors children around to parties which leave Barbara tongue tied. You want Barbara to be popu- lar, so you force social occasions on her, and leave her to get along as best she can in them.

Belle Isle Not Part of Canada

Belle Isle has never been leased
from Canada. 1t has never been
considered part of Canada and the
only time Canada may be said to
have had claim was after the War
of the Revolution and before the
boundary line between the two
countries had been definitely settled
by treaty. asserts a writer in the
Detroit News. 1t was conveyed to
Lieut.. George McDougau in 1865
by the Indians for a few barrels of
rum, some tobacco, vermilion and
wampum. From McDougan the
title passed to william Macomb,
then to Barnabas Campau and to
his children, who sold it to the
city of Detroit in 1879 for 5000, 900.
Belle Isle was originally Mah-nah-
be-zee or Swan island; the French
settlers renamed it Isle st. Clair.
When hogs were brought to the is
land to destroy the snakes there, it
became known as lie aux Cochons
or Hog island; this name was in
formally changed to Belle Isle on
July 4, l845, by resorters who had
made it a popular picnic ground,
honoring Isabelle Cass, daughter of
Governor Lewis CaSs.

British History Cleaned
From Public House Signs

Much of Britain's history, and
more Of its manners and feelings
can be cleaned from various public
house signs, seen in villages and
towns, says Pearson's London
Weekly.
Many of these were selected out
Of compliments Of the reigning king,
or lord of the manor. The Blue
Boar was the badge of Richard III;
the Bulls Head of Henry VIII, and
the White Hart of Richard II.
The Fox and Hounds and Hare
and Hounds were named in compli-
ment to a sporting squire, and the
Green Man probably originated
when the squire's gamekeeper mar
ried, and was promoted to the vii
lage public.
1t is thought that the Saracen' s
Head was thus named by a Cru
sader after his return from the Holy
wars. The Chequers is said to refer
to the Stuart kings, whose shield
was Cheeky" The Spread Eagle
being the arms of Germany, indi-
Gated in past days that German
wines were sold in that inn, and
the Castle, being the arms Of Spain,
signified that Spanish wines were
sold.

Fish on Friday Dates
Back {, y DAYS of Christ

Fish became associated with Fri
day in a roundabout way. Friday
corresponds to the day of the
week on which Jesus was crucihed
and many early Christians observed
it as a weekly fast day, that is, a
day on which they abstained from
eating flesh meats, says writer in
the Indianapolis News. Pope Nicho-
las (S58-86D declared that abStin-
ence on Friday was obligatory on
all commandments Of the Roman
church. Fish is the principal non
flesh meat and accordingly it be-
came the favorite food for those
days when flesh meats were forbid
den. Later others followed the prac-
tice Of serving fish almost exclu-
sively on Friday. This is partly out
of respect for religious custom; but
fish dealers report that many
housewives buy fish to be served on
Friday because they feel that they
can obtain fish Of better quality
at that time of the week because OF
the prevailing custom.
The fish was one Of the earliest
symbols of the Savior of Christian
ity in general. There were several
reasons for this. Fish and fishing
played an important part in the
daily lives Of Jesus and his dis
ciples. Peter and several Of the
other disciples were fishermen by
trade, and Jesus told them that If
they would follow him he would
make them fishers of men," The
miraculous multiplication Of the
loaves and fishes. as well as the
repast after the resurrection on the
shores of Galilee, when some Of the
disciples ate fish caught by follow
ing the instructions of the Lord will
be recalled.
The fish as an emblem of Chris
tianity was further popularized by
the coincidence that the Greek word
for fish, which we render ''ichthys;;"
is spelled in Greek with five letters,
corresponding to I-CH-TH-U-S,
which form what is known as an
acrostic; that is, the component let
tiers Of the word for fish are the
initial letters of IeSous CHriStos,
THeou Uios, Softer, meaning Jesus
Christ, Son of God, Savior.

Tubers, Bulbs, Corms,
Referred to as Bulbs

There is a difference between
tubers, bulbs and corms, all of which
for lack of more exact knowledge,
notes a writer in the New York
Herald-Tribune. A tuber is fieshy
underground stem and the common
potato is a typical example. Here
we have a modified stem which
clearly shows bark, wood and pith,
and it also has terminal end usu-
ally referred to as seed end, where
as the other buds are eyes"
Bulbs also are underground
stems, but of a different character.
The common onion is bulb with
a cone-shaped center stem sur
rounded by a mass of fieshy over
tapping leaves which either lie close
together or may be quite loosely
attached as in many kinds of lilies.
Bulbs always show this scale
structure. Corms differ from bulbs
in having no scales. They are in
this respect more like tubers and
like these are also underground
stems transformed into storage or
gar car hts from one

Stools Were First Seats

Among the first forms Of seats
made in America were stools, for
the Puritans did not have room to
bring over any furniture except
chests and these served for storage
purposes, seats and sometimes
beds. The first trained woodwork
er listed among the Pilgrim colo
nists was John Alden of speak for
yourself, John" fame. 1t is not
recorded that he acquired any fame
as a cabinetmaker but he no doubt
did make many of the stools, forms
and benches required for use in the
sparsely furnished homes Of that
day. Furniture makers were not
long in coming to America. AS the
colonies prospered and trade with
England and the continent in
creased, fine furniture was not only
imported but much that was beauti-
full in design and workmanship was
made here.

Name Bartholomew Means
A Son of the FurroWs'

The name Bartholomew in its va
rious Spellings is Of Hebrew orig
in and has the picturesque mean
ing "son of the burrows" writes
Florence A. Cowles in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, thus fitting a farmer
or plowman. But many Of its bear
ers have plowed the waves rather
than the fields. Less popular now
than in the past when its bearers
did great deeds, it is frequently
heard as a surname.
st. Bartholomew was one of the
II apostles, supposed to be the same
one who is called Nathaniel.
Bartholomew Diaz I'd. 5000, Por-
tuguese navigator, discovered the
Cape of Good Hope in finding his
way around Africa.
Bartolomeo Columbus I'd. 1910,
was a brother and co-worker OF
Christopher and a noted cartograph-
er. Sailing to America in 1894, he
came just in time to save his broth
er from the Spaniards and Indians.
He founded the town of San Domln-
go. Bartolome de Las Casas I'd.
1867, sailed with his father on the
third voyage of Columbus and later
in life became a bishop in Mexico,
where he was called the apostle
to the Indians.
Fra Bartolommeo I'd. l5lD was a
great Italian painter, many OF
whose works are in the Pitt palace
in Florence.
Bartholomew Gosnold ID. 5000,
English navigator, was one Of the
earliest explorers of New England.
In 1902, with a party of colonists,
he landed on the coast Of Maine,
then sailed south and discovered
and named Cape Cod, Martha's
Vineyard and Elizabeth island. In
1906 Gosnold was one of the settlers
of jamestown. Bartolome Fuentes,
Portuguese, was said to have dis
covered the Northwest passage in
1910.
Bartolome Murillo I'd. 1922, Span
ish painter, was one of the great
artists of all time.

apolis, Aug. 14th. A very fast field of
players are entering the tourney. We
are expecting a record entrance for this
event, so therefore the committee would
like to urge all of those who have not
already entered to either register with
Bill Simms at the Phyllis Wheatley
House in Minneapolis or with yours truly
at the Halle Q. Brown House, st. Paul.
William Penn, now champion for many
moons, is bent on upsetting present
champion Willie Simms. Both are excel
lent tennis players and should they meet
at any time during the tournament a
battle can certainly be expected. Eel
lows like Albert Allen, Corney Moberly,
Norman Howell, Stafford Lott, John
Banks, James Murray, and Gene Reed
are always dark horses so my advice is
keep an eye on all of them.
