Word to the Wise By Ms. f'o"t Colby

But the likeliest theory is that
the name originated in Louisi-
ana before the War Between the
States. The Citizens Bank OF
New Orleans issued ten-dollar
bills on which was engraved in
large letters the French word
dix, meaning ten The French
pronunciation of dix is "deeSs,"
but naturally dix, to Ameri-
cans, spelled dix. The bills
were widely circulated all over
the South, and were called
''dixies." And the South, ac-
-cordingly, became known as the
land of dixies. or Dixie Land.
The song Dixie was written on
a dreary winter morning in 1859,
when Daniel Decatur Emmett,
song writer and minstrel man,
sat sl1ivering in his cherries
New York lodgings, and longing
for the warm sunshine away
down South in Dixie The song
attained great popularity as a
Confederate war song, and it is
still the unofficial anthem of the
Southern States.

Reader F. M. W., Of Sacra-
mento, submits a question of
wide interest. How did the
South come to be known as
'Dixie'?"
That is a good question, and
I am sorry that ] cannot find
the exact origin Of the name.
There are some interesting
theories, however. One is that
Dixie is a shortened form of
Mason and Dixon's Line, q sur
vey that once ran between some
of the free and slave States.
Another rather surprising ver-
sion which / have come across
in an old book on Americanisms,
published in 1872, tells of q GER
tain Mr.. Dizzy who owned a plan
tation on Manhattan Island
when slavery still existed in New
York State. Some of his slaves
were sent South, so goes the
story, and there they languished
and longed for their New York
Dixie Land. a phrase that was
adopted by Southern Negroes,
and later used to designate the
South.

Black widow Spider.

Few spiders have received such
adverse publicity as the black
widow. A spider given to shy
ness and desire for privacy, it
never molests any one and only
bites in self defense. The black
widow is found in temperate
zones. Some are found in the
middle and southern parts of
Europe and Asia. All can be
identified by the bright red hour
glass on the abdomen. the round,
black body and speed in escape.
Only the female bites. The
male is much smaller. He is not
an accomplished weaver nor
hunter and is said to permit his
wife to support him.
The black widow constructs a
strong, gray, parchment like
purse in which to carry her eggs.
If she is going af1eld during the
afternoon she always takes hel
egg sac along, resting it on q
sun-heated stone. She may re-
main overnight nearby. The
youngsters hatch within theil
private silk cell, the stronger
ones eliminating the weaker ones
The survivors remain within
until it is time for their exit.
During the hot summer. hel
natural habitat is in a hollow
stump, deep crevice or hollow
log. There must be room for he

Education
Problems


Inc teamwork OF citizens and
educators is needed to provide
the kind Of education Americans
need to have, DR.. Samuel M.
Brownell, Commissioner of the
Office Of Education, said last
night.
DR.. Brownell addressed the
League of Republican Women of
the District at a supper meet
ing sponsored by the business
and professional group at the
Burlington Hotel.
The speaker called the in
creasing interest of citizens in
educational problems zone of the
most hopeful signs Of the times"
How to help citizens channel
their interest more productivity
is one Of the challenges to be
met. he added.
DR.. Brownell pointed out that
this is one of the objectives of a
bill now before Congress which is
designed to encourage the de-
velopment Of State and local
action programs.
The proposal specifically pro-
videS that the Federal Govern
ment appropriate funds to assist
each State to hold a carefully
planned Subtraction confer
ence Of citizens and educators,
he explained.
After these State conferences
had met and planned their edu-
cational programs, representa-
tives would come together in
Washington from all the States
to consider educational problems
in a national focus, but on the
basis of 'grassroots' study" he
added.
The speaker stated that it is
much more difficult and expen-
sive to develop an action pro-
gram at the State level, than
at the local community level.
THE bill before Congress-" he
said. would provide the ma
chinery to assist citizens in each
State to develop the kind of edu-
cational program they want and
need"
This proposal appears to pro-
vide aid to States and localities
by the Federal Government
which in no way imposes Fed
eral controls" he declared.
1T also would provide evidence
not now available-as to
whether our citizens believe that
the Federal Government should
maintain it's present relationship

less"
