Countless numbers bogged down in the soft, icy marshes, were frozen in the unthawing soil. They are occasionally discovered now, perfectly preserved for m ore than 10,000 years in nature’ s refriger ator; the hide, hair, flesh, even the remains of undigested meals in their stomachs; bunches of moss, grass, sedges and wild thyme unchewed in their mouths. Siberian farm ers cut off chunks of the red flesh to feed their dogs. —Literary Digest.

Can any sane man doubt that cer tain European powers, now heav ily in debt to us, would not be at one another’s throats if they were assured of financial backing by Un cle Sam for their fighting. In other words, they’d love to enjoy another world war so long as they didn’t have to pay for it. But once in awhile, even a born sucker takes the cure, provided there’s a Hiram Johnson to write the prescription. IR V IN S. COBB. Copyright.—WNU Servlo*. T HP HE name sterling silver has a fascinating history. The name originally was Easterling, but in the progress of tim e be came contracted to sterling. The Easterlings were a group of men who. in the Twelfth century, came to England from Camden in Eu rope, a place to the east of Eng land and from this geographical fact gained their name. The men formed a guild to uphold stand ards of excellence in their work, and to protect themselves from robbers and pirates. The high standards pertained al so to the coinage with which they paid those with whom they dealt. So unvarying was this mon ey, and of such pure silver, that it became a gauge of excellence for all silver. The proportion of pure silver to the alloy was enormous, being at the ratio of 925 silver to 75 copper in each 1,000 parts. This same ratio per tains even today in all sterling silver. So adamant is this ratio, that no deviation of it is permissible under the name sterling. Severe penalties are laid down by our federal statutes for infringements of this ruling. So when you see the word sterling on the silver you already have or on pieces you are buying, you know the articles are of the finest grade of silver. The silver may be marked 925 fine, or 925-1000, for all these markings indicate the same thing —sterling silver. The term solid silver is not synonymous with sterling silver since the proportions m ay not be 925 fine. Solid silver is a more flexible term perm itting m ore al loy. The word plate, when applied to silver was once a guarantee of pure silver, but now the word is so associated with plated silver, that the name, silver plate, has lost its high standing. It is rec ognized in its true sense of ster ling, by a com parative few per sons, those only who know its rightful significance, and are versed in names of silversm iths, recognizing wares as true plate or as plated silver thereby. So absolute is the m eaning of sterling as the highest grade pos sible in coinage or silverw are, that the word has become synon ymous of worth and value wheth er applied to silver, m a teria l things or to character. © B e ll S yn d icate.— W N U S e r v ic «.
