Rtdbtrd Cot It Namt From Church Dignitary At first thought It Is difficult to soe the relationship between the corauiw redblrd, or cardinal, and the lilngus or the front door. The eiplanatton la simple enough, however, when the words are traced to their source. The redblrd was originally called a card inal because tils plumage bore the coloring of the hat and cassock of a cardinal of the Roman Catholic hurch. The use of the word "cardi nal" as denoilna a dignitary of the church came about through the poetic fimcv of an earlv Done, who spoke or the cardinals as "the hinges by which nil things are moved" In connection with church government. In the Latin InnguaKe "cardo, cardials," Is tae equivalent of the English "lilnge. For this reason the dignitary was called a cardinal, as signifying his function as one of the "hinges" of the church. From this early usage "card inal" came to be applied to anything of prime Importance, Including the cardinal numbers, the cardinal poinis of the compass and the cardinal vir tues. The use of the word as apply ing to a color came about from the fact that the color was tne siriamg of the dress of a cardinal. This explalris the use of the word in naming the redblrd. j Jaoanete Hand Tooh Hand tools used In Japan differ con- ni.i4nhl tram those Used W OCCl- dental countries and consequently Blll'-I H'l' J ihw. is nnt s laree market tor picas, shovels, rakes, etc In place ot shovels a kind of hoe with the blade nn acute angle to the handle M the Implement being pulled io- vunrrt the oDerator In picking up material Instead of being pushed Into material as la done wun a Biinvi anva the Detroit News.

The spokesman for the Mikado announces that Japan's relations with all treaty powers, Including this country, were never more friendly. We are all glad of that. We have for Japat only the most sincere feelings of kindness and admiration. At the same time It Is Interest Ing, and not amusing, to consider these facts: Japan builds 600 air planes eacb month, keeping sev enteen factories busy night and day. According to our Brigadier General William Mitchell, a sound authority on air service, this Gov ernment owns, in all, only 700 air planes, big and little. And of the 700 only twenty would have any value a fighting machines. There fore, Japan builds each month twenty-five times as many serv iceable planes as we have alto gether. And we have In America only 450 pilots that could be used tor air battles, in time of war. Japan, England, France have thousands The rich that fight taxes and yell for economy fear one thing even more than loss of their dol lars, and that is talk of revolution. Just one thing could bring bloody revolution and uprising in this country. And that would be shameful defeat in war, with hor rible loss of life and property, due to lack of preparation. The very rich men and corpora tions that control this nation, dic tate its candidates and its laws, should bear that in mind and not push economy too far. at liberty to loiik upon ine In any diameter you desire to assume." Not in Dictionary In the good old days when science was still In its infancy, which was not so long ago, scientists were firmly con vinced that the various atoms of a given element were absolutely Identi cal with each other and quite Immune from auy transformation whatever. The very name, from the Greek, means Indivisible. This view has recently been shattered by the Investigations and developments of radio activity. The Isotope has taken Its place as the smallest particle. The word Is not In the dictionary yet. It Is of Greek origin and signifies "that which ts In the pluce of." Chicane Journal. Qutor "Dole" Cuatom$ Although the "dole" has loomed so large of late years, It Is one of the oldest customs of England, for the monks were much given to charity, and presents of bread and money were common In ancient times, says the De troit News. Perhaps the most famous dole Is that given at St Cross, near Winchester. Any one who njiplles at 'folks IN OUR TOWN POP MUST HAVE HIS JOKE. Bjr Edward McCulIough AUTOCASTER -"yl I voo BET UADV I jjllyiii W ? p1- I i could see ) hch iJgL- YOU VOUR W mh 1 11T OlH e TlHtrS "TKAT itetl I The British, creator of tha uperdreadnaught, rulers of tho kea for generation, are not neg lecting their air fleet. They have organized a flying service separate and apart from Army and Navy control, unhampered by precedent and old-fashioned ideas. Britain la building airships big enough to carry bodies of troop, replacing the old, slow floating ' troop ships. These ships, each with five million cubic feet gas capacity, will make our Shenan doah or Los Angeles look like a tugboat compared with a battle ship. The ships will be put to work at once, carrying mails and passen gers from England to India and other distant parts of the Empire. Thus they will pay their way in peace, and be ready for war when It comes. Is not this country rich and in telligent enough to meet the situa tion, and keep up with the times? The flying machine was invented here, and we sit waiting for other countries to develop it, and per haps use it against us. Why must wo wait for Europe to establish a flying service across the ocean T If our business men, that talk so much of superior pri vate ownership, lack energy and courage to be pioneers, the United States Government should do it. Instead of merely sending out of date battleships to cruise in the Pacific, we ought to send half a dozen dirigibles, bigger than any thing England has, each carrying its cargo of flying machines and fliers, to make friendly demonstra tions in flying from the mother ships, target practice with imita tion bombs against moving and stationary targets, etc. All that would be instructive, create thought in foreign countries and promote peace. The editors of country weekly newspapers are the most influen tial men in the United States. Each one can influence at least one Congressman and two Senators, iiorc than half a dozen so-called "big editors" could influence them. ' Two thousand of these editors publish this article, sending it into millions of farm houses and village homes. They should take this ques tion of air defense in hand, and put it through, as they put through the parcels post.

Money doles are often accompanied by strange customs, as In the case of. the dole at the church of St. Barthol omew the Great, where the dole has to be picked up from the grave of the woman who left It, by poor widows of the parish. The Uppingham dole stipulates that the recipients shall be "Ill-favored of face." No Mail in the Beyond The Irishman was walking along the bank of the river. He was fum ing with rape, for that day he had a dispute with a neighbor over the ownership of a -pig, and things had not gone well with him. Suddenly a cry for help rent the air and turning around, be sow a man struggling In the water. Seeing Mike on the bnnk, the man In the water waved his hand and shouted : "Hey, mate, drop me a 'line I" In a flash the man on the bank rec ognized his adversary In the pig dis pute.
