It speaks only of “a great fish.” Some English versions of the Bible have translated this as “a whale” (Matt., xii, 40). In the French Bible, and in many others, the original meaning is preserved. A whale is not a fish; it is a water mammal which breathes with lungs and nurses its young. (Copyright, 1034 | S W T— Washington A Weekly Digest | started on their careers at $75 apiece.

While looking at negligees we came upon a rack of quite exceptional linen frocks advertised as house dresses that have just come in, and give you a hint of what next season's clothes will be.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Traveling in a Circle. “J_OST people travel in a circle” The formula holds for people when all their activities are misdi- rected. Every dav you notice these | wanderers walking on the streets, rid- ing on the cars, gazing aimlessly into the shop windows, leafing nervously through books in the public library, listlessly pricing goods at the market, Every step is hesitating, every glance is timid, every greeting is a public convention, and every attempted task is likely to be abandoned in & few | davs. The individual has lost the | power to concentrate and sustain his attention Study the actions of men and wom- en from every angle and you will be surprised to find how near you will come to an understanding of a lot of your own hidden feelings, when you have begun to lose contact with your world of activities. These feelings are of a person who does not know for | sure where he is going. He is travel- ing in a circle. The important thing about aimless activities is the sterility of the emo- tions that accompany them. All ac- tivity must have some emotional urge back of it. If the activity is point- less, the emotions back of it are weak and colorless. Instead of finding their true outlets, the emotions run as par- tial feelings along several routes at once. The result is a scattering of purposes and a diminishing of ambi- tions. More than ordinary energy is consumed for tasks that normally in- duce little or no fatigue. Hofified BY JEAN NEWTON. “Boycott.” WE HAVE this word after Capt. Boyeott, who, in 1880, was the agent for Lord Earne, wealthy Eng- lish landowner who rented out his farms. ‘The tenant farmers greatly resented Capt. Boycott's harshness, deeply dis- liked him personally and finally, in & body, petitioned for his removal—s request ignored by the principal. In retaliation, the tenant farmers got together and tabooed the agent. None of the land was tilled. No rental was paid. And nobody else was per- mitted to work the farms. Eventually the troops were called out to protect “scab” harvesters of the crop. Though the landlord was victorious the group method of his tenants was adopted by the Land League of Ire- land in its struggle against the absen- tee landlord system, the name of Capt. Boycott being applied to this method of mass resistance, ‘There | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 929, 1934 | Bedtime Stories BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Nanny Is in No Hurry, Who makes decisions in a hurry Prepares the way for future worry. ~——Nanny Meadow Mouse. ANNY and Nanny Meadow Mouse traveled all night. They were leaving the snug home in the tall grass not far from a lone tree on the Green Meadows. It had been a good home, for around it had been plenty to eat without going far, and it had not been discovered by any of their hungry enemies. Danny, wanting a change, had been quite willing to leave it, but Nanny hadn’t. Had it only been a little farther from that lone tree she wouldn’t have left it. But it was uncomfortably near that tree now that Roughleg the Hawk had come there to sit all day watching for Mice. “I hate him!” said Nanny as she followed Danny through the grass. “He is no worse than Reddy Fox or Hooty the Owl, or any of the others who hunt for us” squeaked Danny, who secretly was pleased that they ‘were moving. “Well, I hate all of them.” declared Nanny spitefully, “Why can't they leave us alone?” “Chiefly because of their stomachs,” chuckled Danny. “Just like the rest of us, they get hungry and can't help 1it, and they have a liking for Mice. That is our hard luck.” “That was a good home back there until that fellow came. Why couldn't he have chosen some other tree to sit in?” scolded Nanny. “Perhaps if you had asked him to he would have,” suggested Danny. “Perhaps he would and taken me along with him,” agreed Nanny. “Well, I prefer to be here, even if I didn't want to move. Listen!” “Hooty the Owl,” said Danny, “but he is too far away to cause us any | worry. I never fear him when I hear { him." It is when I don't hear him that he worries me.” Ie “I hope he won't come this way ny, who was in the lead, stopped ] “What is it?” whispered Danny. Nanny drew sniffed softly. “Fox!" she exclaimed, under her | breath. Danny nodded. “Reddy Fox has | been along here.” said he, “but it was {quite a bit earlier in the night, for that scent is weak. It is a ‘vonder I noticed it at all. I'm glad we found it, because now we know he is hardly likely to be near here. If you don't know where people are it sometimes {1 almost as good to know where they | are not.” “I hope we won't find him in the cornfield when we get there,” said Nanny. “It won't matter if we do.” replied Danny carelessly. “There are plenty of places there where we can find safety.” It was a long journey for such little people with such short legs, but it was_not vet daylight when they reached the field where Farmer Brown's corn was standing in shocks, row on row. They scrambled up in the first of these they came to and feasted on corn, for they were hungry. alongside him and “I HATE HIM.” SAID NANNY, AS SHE FOLLOWED DANNY THROUGH THE GRASS. How good that corn tasted! good it was! “Why not make our home right here?” cried Danny. Nanny shook her head, “There is no hurry,” said she. “But what finer place could you ask?” demanded Danny. “I want to look around first,” re- plied Nanny. “You won't find anything better,” declared Danny. “Perhaps not. If we don't we al- ways can come back here,” retorted Nanny. “My, how good this corn is! And such a lot of it!” “We'll never go hungry here” de- clared Danny, smacking his lips. (Copyright. 1934.) Uncle Ray Harvest Feasting. WHEN grain grows ripe and is gathered in the Autumn, people in many lands make merry, and there is feasting. A good crop means that there will be food in the Winter ahead. In modern days, crops are better than they were in times gone by; but even if a drought comes and our crops are poor, we are not likely to starve. Prices may become higher, but part of the previous year's crop has been “carried over.” We have something to eat, even though less than usual. In olden Mexico, when the Aztec Indians were in power over the coun- try, 18 feasts were held during the year. One of these was called “Ochpanitzli,” meaning “Feast of the Broom.” It was in honor of the god- dess Toci, who was pictured as carry- ing & grass broom, “with which she swept the earth.” Around the time of her feast, the people took special pains about sweeping their homes, fix- ing up the roads, and cleaning the temples. Another feast was called “Pachtli,” and was famed as the time of “the coming of the gods.” Wherever they had been, even though in a distant land, the gods were expected to return to Mexico. Youths, or young men, were set to work making the temples ready for the return of the gods, and were re- warded for their labors with ears of corn. Images of the gods were adorned with branches. ‘There was some excitement over the arrival of the first god. He came two days ahead of the feast day. 'Twas said that he walked much faster than the others. In proof that he had come, the Aztec priests pointed out a footprint in cornmeal which had been spread over the ground. We are not told who really made the footprint; but no doubt it ‘was one of the priests. The Aztecs, I am soITy to say, were in the custom of spoiling their feast days by offering human sacrifices to their gods. This is given as a reason for the harsh treatment which Span- iards gave the natives when Mexico was conquered. My, how UNCLE RAY. (Copyright. 1934.) Dorothy Dix Says What Odds Bachelordom?—Can Middle- Aged Man Win Bride From Youthful Sheik? EAR MISS DIX—What are the advantages of being a bachelor? What are the disadvantages of being one? J. B. Answer—The principal advantage of being a bachelor is that you are free. You can come and go as you please. You do not have to punch the home time clock. You do not have to rack your brain thinking up alibis when you stay downtown to play poker with the boys. If you want to stay at home of an evening and read, well and good. If you want to step out, also well and good. You are your own master. YOU can spend your money on yourself. You can blow it in for & new car or glad raiment or put it in the savings bank. You do not have to see the dollars you have toiled for so hard go for groceries and coal and doctors’ bills and baby caps and millinery and French importations. You do not have to feel that as long as you live you are sold into slavery to your family, and that no matter how hard you work you will never be able to get ahead any. For just about the time you get a little saved up, Junior will have to have his adenoids out and Mary will have to have her teeth straightened and Tommy will have to go to college, and Maud will teel that she can’t hold up her head unless she has a car of her own. KIPL[NG says, “he travels the fastest who travels alone.” ‘The bachelor can give up a poor job on the chance of getting a better one. ‘The married man can take no such risk. The single man has many doors of opportunity opened to him that are shut to the married man. He can go to many places to which he could not take a family. The single man, especially the single professional man, is invited to many houses, where he makes valuable social contacts, and to which the married man is never asked. The bachelor does not have to submit to the dominion of any woman. He does not have to listen to curtain lectures in the silence of the night. He does not have to stand for criticism. He does not have to give an account of his every movement. He does not have to put up with his wife's people or her friends. When he gets tired of a woman or she gets on his nerves, he can put on his hat and leave without any messy divorce proceedings, 'HESE are some of the advantages that the bachelor enjoys. Some of the drawbacks are that, while he is free, even freedom has a price tag on it that often makes it cost more than it is worth. It is true that he can go and come as he pleases without meeting any reproaches when he returns, but that is because nobody cares whether he ever gets back or not. He doesn't have to punch the home time clock, for there isn't any home, just a room in a boarding house or hotel or club. Nobody watching out for him. No light in the window for him. No loving hands to draw him across the threshold. No womans’ face smilng at him, and worshiping him, and thinking he is the greatest man in the world. TRUE. he can spend his money on himself, but after he has bought < himself a few garments and a car, what else is there for him to buy? Most of the money that men spend is spent on women, and there is more percentage in spending it on a wife and children than there is in spending it on gold-diggers. A family cost a lot, but it is the best old-age insurance in money and happiness that any man can take out Maybe the bachelor does have more opportunities to make money than the married man, but it is a matter of record that few men ever save any money until after they are married. It is only after they have wife and children to look out for that they settle down and begin to provide for the future In every human heart the dominant desire is for love and com- panionship and for somebody to belong to you these and the bachelor lacks them, a paying proposition, EAR MISS DIX—I am a professional man well past my youth The married man has and that is what makes marriage DOROTHY DIX. I have literally battled my way through poverty and adversity to a leading position in my profession. I am desperately in love with a beautiful and brilliant woman, but I have a rival who is younger and better looking than I am. He is what may be called a ladies’ man, a fine dancer and a favorite with women and he is also a man of good mental ability and draws a larger salary than I can command. The lady is undecided in her choice between us. When we are together she is very gracious, and expresses her admiration for my mental ability and my victories over difficulties, but in the presence of the other man she seems to favor him. Would you advise me, in my efforts to win her to follow the same tactics I have in other matters where I have won by keeping everlastingly at it? Does this method win hearts? X, Answer: Certainly it does. There is no better technique for court- ship than simply to camp on a woman's trail and never give up until she has married some other man. Nine times out of ten it is success- ful because faithfulness is one virtue that women esteem in men more than any other, and unfaithfulness is the fault they fear most in husbands. Hence they argue that the faithful lover will make a faithful husband and is a good matrimonial bet. THEN the man who is always hanging about makes himself necessary to a woman. She gets to depend on him for companionship and for the affection and admiration which are the wine of life to her. This may not seem to her, at first, like the romantic love of which she has dreamed, but by degrees it wears down her sales resistance and then some day she discovers that the persistent lover who no dis- couragement has daunted is the one man in the world she wants to marry. “Faint heart ne’er won fair lady.” ‘Women are proverbially given to changing their minds and the man who wants a girl is foolish to let any rival, however good-looking. make him drop out of the race. In your case, remember for your comfort that women do not put the stress on beauty that men do, and that they are far more intrigued by the ‘way a man does things than by the way he looks.

PASMS of the pylorus are a much more common thing than is generally supposed, and account for those spasms of pain, usually in the night, or after stomach digestion is well compieted, that arouse one from sleep with a terrifying pain in the pit of the stomach or sometimes to the right of the me- dian line. These are too often confused with gallstone attacks, and the proced- ure is generally a hypodermic of morphia to ease the pain, and if these attacks are at all common and frequent the operating table is Wm. H. Hay, M. D, 100 often offered as the way out. Such cases prove a complete disap- vointment after operation, and the operator is disappointed to find on dissection of the body that nothing abnormal is evident, a fact that he as under necessity of concealing from the patient. When attacks recur as frequently and as severely after operation as be- iore, it requires some ingenuity on the part of the whilom operator or the family physician to formulate convincing reasons for this seeming failure of the operation to produce the expected relief. The spasm occurs in response to the irritation of too acid stomach, a too high percentage of hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice, and means that one has through the use of too much of the concentrated forms of protein built up a habit of hydro- chloric acid formation that leaves be- hind too irritating debris when the stomach digestion is completed. So the causes of pylorospasm are the causes of gastric or duodenal ulcer and both conditions are likely to be associated together. The number of victims who haye passed through the surgical treat- ment for this simple condition is very large, and the number of disappoint- ments about the same. When unaccountable pain attacks you in the middle of the night, espe- cially if this is at the pit of the stomach or to the right of this loca- tion, do not be sure that you have gallstone colic, as there are 40 cases of pylorospasm for every case of true gallstone colic, but empty the stomach if you can do this easily, or take a well rounded teaspoonful of bicarbo- nate of soda in a pint of hot water, before you send for your family phy- sician. If you wish to get rid of this terror of the night, then clean house quickly by purging for three days, taking three heaping tablespoonfuls of epsom or glauber salts in a half pint of hot | or cold water, or five or six seidlitz powders, one every 15 minutes till this number has been taken, or take a bottle of citrate of magnesia and re- peat in 15 to 30 minutes. When the bowels are running freely and a great thirst has set in, then take the un- sweetened juices of fresh fruits, any kind, as freely as desired. This simple plan will remove the trouble for the time being and fol- low this with such correction of the habit of eating as will remove per- manently the habit of creation of too much hydrochloric acid, which means eat less meat, eggs, fish and cheese than formerly. Complete the return to less acid conditions by making the dietary habit correct in ail other particulars as by taking more, much more, vegetables, salads, fruits and milk and butter- milk, and when concentrated and acid-forming foods are admitted to the diet make sure they are taken in compatible mixtures to stop fermen- tations.

THE Virginia branch of the Ashby famuy came to that colony during the Cromwellian period. According to family tradition, they were strict adherents to Charles I. The first ar- rival in Virginia was Edmund Ashby, whose son, Edward, lived about 1700 in what is now Fauquier County. His son, Col. John Ashby, was active in the Colonial Militia and held a com- mission as commander of Fort Ashby during the Indians wars. He was with Gen. Washington during several In- dian campaigns and at Braddock’s de- feat. Col. John Ashby, in 1770, went to Kentucky, where he stayed until 1774, settling a large tract of land which was granted him for his services in the eerly wars. Descendants of the family had homes on the land and established the name of Ashby in Ken- tucky. In the New England States we have record of one early settler of this name during the first period of colonization. That is the name of Anthony Ashby, who settled in Salem, Mass., in 1665. The eoat of arms here shown is ascribed to the Massachusetts line. The surname Ashby is of Saxon origin and signifies “by the ash tree,” thought to be the place of abode of the first to ‘the name, WOMEN'’S FEAT Adaptation of BY BARBARA BELL.

Our pattern for this dress !is an easy one to cut, fit and sew up. It is an adaptation of a French im- | port, and was designed in a way that | makes it possible to interpret it economically in a number of different fabrics. Inset vestees cut at a sweeping new low have entered the style picture again. Most women are devoted to this fashion, for the collar frames the face in a soft, becoming way, and its gradual vanishing-to-nothing at the waist adds perceptibly to one's height and takes (apparently) inches away from the measurement of the hips. i The sleeves of this model are cut | in one with the back of the waist. | This type of construction is popular for obvious reasons, since fitting prob- | lems are eliminated. Deep darts give softness across the front. The vestee | is cut all in one piece, with a band | of contrast superimposed at the top. | This design admits of different | changes, which may include any of the discreetly ornate, detachable Nature's URES.

And your way of | identifying them will be sim- | plified if you remember that | the zebras that roam over | open spaces have wider stripes thang those who seek the seclusion offered | them by deep forests. All the zebras differ slightly, but| ¥ 23 they are all found in Ethiopian Africa and they are recognized as of the horse family, stripes or no stripes. ‘This one, the grevy, is the largest | member of the group and in many re- spects more horselike than any of his relatives. His wider marks, mane ex- tending to his withers, large tail tuft and the chestnuts on the inner sides of the forelegs all are points to look for. As you will see, the black or dark | brown markings and the intervening | light stripes on the head, legs and body are, as a whole, narrow. They widen on the lower jaw, neck and the | lower part of the thighs. ! On the flanks you will see that| none of the stripes bend upward or| backward to the hind quarters, The upper portions are marked with vertical stripes, which are arranged concentrically at the root of the tail. The stripes on the nose end at the dark nostril patches. The nose itself is soft gray. The large, wide ears are thickly haired. Other zebras have narrow ears. It is thought that this differ- ence can be accounted for by the fact that this zebra lives in the thick scrub. Most forest dwellers have large ears and those of the open spaces nar- row ones. Sunlight, sifting through the leaves, casting shadows upon the zebra, blend the narrow stripes easily, whereas the broad, dark bands of the other zebras would easily betray the presence of the animal. These lovely creatures are shot for food by hunting parties. They are not game animals, and never have to be stalked in the way it is necessary to hunt a fear-filled beast. Rather, the zebra is consumed with curiosity, and is most eager to make the acquaint- ance of domestic animals. He ap- proaches the place where they are kept and tries to attract their atten- tion, first by sf his feet on the ground. It is his polite way of knock- weird mixture of whistle and a hoarse bray.
