NEW LIGHT ON POCAHONTAS Was Actuated Only by Childish Affeo tion When She Saved Life of Captain Smith, Popular belief is that the beauti- ful Indian princess, Pocahontas, was more than a bit in love with Capt. John Smith, and that it was this love that saved his life when her fa- ther, Powhatan, ordered his brains dashed out, says the Detroit News. The story is that Pocahontas threw herself on the captain’s prostrate body and gathered his head in her arms so that the clubs could not fall without killing her. This story has ‘some foundation, only Pocahontas at the time of the rescue, 1608, was but ten years old, and whatever love she may have had for Smith was strictly an affection of a child for a grown-up relative. Pocahontas married an Indian chief when she became fourteen years old, but was captured when she was sixteen by the English and taken to Jamestown, where she mar- ried John Rolfe without taking the trouble to divorce her Indian mate. She was much in love with him, and bore him a son. Descendants of that son are still living in Virginia. and are very proud of their beautiful In- dian ancestor. Pocahontas died fol- lowing a visit to England as her re- turning ship cleared Gravesend. END HOUSEHOLD DRUDGERY Expert Convinced That Business Prin- ciples Would Do Away With Much Unnecessary Labor.

One expert in household economics thinks women could do the work of their homes with less strain if they would adopt a more businesslike at- titude toward it. “Plan what to do” she suggested, “do it, forget it, and recreate.” Also she urges that the woman in planning her daily routine alternate | work which requires sitting, stand- | | | ernment war obligations declined from | ing and walking so far as possible, and that she adopt the plan of fre- quent short periods of rest, such as are found effective in factory work | of many kinds. For the family with children, she urges the elimination of all unnec- essary labor, co-operation by all members of the family old enough | to co-operate in the labor of the house, and simple and informal liv- ing. “Study,” she concludes, “to short- en every occupation connected with the upkeep of the home.”—Brock- ton (Mass.) Times. WORTHY, BUT FORGETFUL. A dear old great-aunt of mine was married when well along in life to an absent-minded man. They were married in a country church. Her most. embarrassing moment oc- curred soon after the ceremony, | when her worthy but forgetful spouse calmly untied his horse from the fence where he had hitched it and ‘absent-mindedly drove away without my aunt, who waited on | the church steps. A number of amall boys, related to the bride, saw what had happened and promptly took after the bridegroom, yelling at him: “Hey, come back. Ain’t yuh fergittin’ somethin’ ?”’ — Chicago Tribune. NOT APPREHENSIVE. “Don’t you think we ought to de velop the military spirit in view of possible emergencies which may con- cern the next generation?” inquired the man who worries about every- thing. “T’m not troublin’ my mind much,” answered Farmer Corntos- sel, “S’long as the interest in foot- ball keeps up I guess the boys will be able to take care of themselves.” A GREAT HELP. “Has your boy Josh been a great help to you around the place?” “He has,” replied Farmer Corn- tossel. “If it hadn’t been for Josh’s suggestions, we wouldn’t have known how to have a good time with the big money we have made in the past few seasons.” —Washington Star. “Do you really believe women will vote from a sense of duty?” “Will they? Look how they flocked to the polls with not a look- ing glass in a single booth.” _ A Checking Account is the easiest method of keeping account of your financial transactions.

This corresponded to an increase of | over 411.0 millions in capital and sur- | plus of member banks. ‘FURTHER PRICE DECLINES NOTED | Washington.—Further decline in | prices, coupled with increased unem- | ployment, accompanied the continued progress in business readjustment dur- ing December, according to the federal reserve board’s monthly review. The price decline was placed at 81-2 per | cent by the board, which added that | the decrease was mainly confined to commodities which had shown a de- j cline previously rather than an exten- | sion of price-cutting to other commod- ities. | The decline was reported most | marked in agricultural products, tex- | tiles, hides, leather and fron and steel | products. | Reduced busines activity, the board | stated, cut operations {n many lines | from 40 to 75 per cent of normal and | brought unemployment. The shrink- | age of demand, the board reported, also was responsible for wage cuts as | high as 25 per cent. Birthplace of Former President in New York Dedicated.
