Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. 'HIS name is of Anglo-Norman | origin, which soon after the Nor- man conquest was established in Rox- burghshire and later in Inverness-| shire, Scotland, where the family founded a small but independent Highland Clan. Their principal seat was Erchless Castle and their chief| was known as the Chisholm. There | was once a familiar saying in Scot- | land to the effect that there were| but four “Thes” in the Highlands— | “The Chisholm, The MacIntosh, The Devil and The Pope.” The name, however, signifies gravelly island. The first mention of the name was in 1296, when Richard de Chisholme | swore allegiance to Edward III, and His son, Sir John de Chisholme, knight, fought with Robert Bruce at the famous Bat- tle of Bannockburn in 1314. Chisholms first put in their appear- ance in America in New England in 1653, represented by Thomas Chis- holme. Later, in 1717, Alexander Chisholm emigrated to the province of Carolina and settled near Charles- ton (then Charles Town). The Chis- holm plantation, called the Retreat, was headquarters for Sir Richard Lee during the Revolutionary War. (Copyright. 1935.) Nature’s Mountain Maple BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

SOETRACK PLA AT B CTZENS Chillum Heights Group Is| Opposed to Rails Near New York Avenue. Proposals authorizing the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Co. to build side tracks near New York avenue northeast were opposed last night by the Chillum Heights Citizens' Association, meeting in the J. R. Keene School. A bill is now before Congress au- thorizing the railroad to construct an overpass over New York avenue north- | east to extend and maintain certain industrial side tracks. The association believes construc- | tion of new tracks would make the | cost of bridges over the tracks too high. It was pointed out that civic associa- | tions have been seeking for several years to obtain bridges over the pres- ent tracks to give better transportation facilities to the area east of there. Indorsement was given to the peti- tion sent to the Board of Education by the Manor aPrk Citizens’ Associa- | tion recommending that the new high | school to be located at Rittenhouse | and Fourth streets be named Calvin | Coolidge. i A resolution supporting efforts of the Washington Central Labor Union to promote vocational training in the public schools and the reclassification | of the schools as junior high schools | | was passed. A motion asking that Inspector T. R. Bean and the present general Police | Department set-up be retained was re- ferred to the Fire and Police Protection Committee, to be reported on at the next meeting. The proposal of the Junior Chamber of Commerce asking that daylight- saving time be established in Washing- ton was rejected. It was recommended that the Tuber- culosis Hospital site at Fourteenth and Upshur streets be used for recreational | and educational purposes. CHURCH TO OBSERVE SACRAMENT RITUAL Dr. Vernon N.

() —1If the “bomb” had contained a few car- rots and potatoes, Department of Justice agents could have made a stew. Scenting an infernal machine in a large box received by mail, Dominick Marone asked the agents to open it. ‘They gingerly carried it to a big fleld and pried off the lid, marked “cheese.” Inside the box were beef bones and onions, already sliced. Children (Acer Spicatum). ‘The fruit hangs from these loca- tions in clusters. The small samaras are red all Summer. By Autumn they have ripened and turned a woodsy brown and the foliage all about them begins to take on the brilliant colors, true to the maple tradition. The woods will have glorious, bright spots in them now and you will find your little maple, with its robe of bright yellow, scarlet and orange. A trip to your tree, in the Winter, reveals gray, downy twigs, well pro- vided with bright Winter buds. No other tree has such leaves and fruit as the maple, so you will not have much trouble identifying it. There are nine maples native to North Amer- ica. Two are on the Pacific Coast, five on the Eastern half of the conti- nent, one among the Rocky Mountains and one that grows where it pleases. It 15 now found that the little maples make wonderful entrance trees—for forest highways and to estates in the East. They form a fringe with the hazel bushes, ground hemlock and hornbeams, asking not for so much sunshine and taking jp "little room.

Grown from seeds, plac- ing the small trees in specially select niches would take too long to wait and there are enough little mountain supply the need. (Copyrishk 1835.)

Which | was all right, for the latter was a small, unobtrusive, well-behaved sort of Airedale-ish mongrel, in- clined to retire to a far corner. But, unfortunately, the gentleman, his master, was this morning needing a facial massage. the tale. When that fearful machine, a strange thing with a long neck and only a rubber disc for head, rolled by the pup, he cocked a skeptical eye and placed himself on the “qui vive.” | Later, when it began to cry out and sing that odd, almost-human “waouu- owoo-mauowoo” sort of a sound, it was too much for the little fellow. He rose straight, his back arched, with every hair along his spine aquiver, He leaped toward the ma- chine-on-wheels, nipped and bucked it. Then he broke himself into a pro- longed howl, to drown out the noise of the monster that was obviously de- vouring his master. No use to command and, when the machine, stopped, started over the gentleman’s face once more, that weird strain of the rubber suction cup | was more than enough. So, in order to get the job done, the porter was detailed to stand outside and hold the dog in leash by the door until the ordeal by massage was over. SERVICE ORDERS ARMY ORDERS. Spaulding, Col.

[We're sold out solid all day. Not an extra plane within 500 miles.” So Rogers ga.e up and took a made in years. “Maybe I've done a little too much for air travel,” Rogers said ruefully as he boarded the train. * Xk ¥ % SPIKE ARRESTERS.

He suddenly decided that this was no place to stay. It was then that he started after | Flip. “If T keep near that Dog it will be safer traveling,” thought he. “If I should start out alone Reddy Fox might happen along and then I would be in for it. But Reddy is afraid of | that Dog, small as he is, and while I am near him, Reddy is likely to leave me alone. All I want is to reach a place where there are some safe burrows or a stone wall I can get mto.” Happening to look back, Flip dis- covered that he was being followed. “What's the matter with that fel- low? I told him that enough is for?” muttered Flip and sat down to wait. : The Chuck stopped a short distance away. He made no attempt to get nearer, but when Flip started on he started also. To Flip it was most an- noying. It had all the appearance of a Dog being chased by a Chuck, in- stead of the other way around, as is usually the case. Flip stopped again. | So did the Chuck. This was repeated | several times. All the time Flip was | growing more and more puzzled. He wished that that leg that had been bitten was not so stiff. Had he had | the use of that, he would have been tempted to try to drive that Chuck back. As it was, there was nothing he could do about it. He felt cha- grined, ashamed. Meanwhile the wisdom of the clever young Chuck was being proven. Reddy Fox had been watching from a dis- tance the fight at the burrow. He had seen Flip limp away and had at once decided that just as soon as that Dog was out of sight he would go over after that Chuck again. And then, to his surprise and dismay, he had seen the young Chuck start after Flip. At first he was as puzzled as was Flip. Then, being himself a clever one, he began to suspect something of the truth. And there was n« he could do about it, for he didn't want trouble with that Dog. So Flip limped homeward across the Green Meadows and behind him traveled the young Chuck, and all who saw it chuckled. At last Flip passed one of Johnny Chuck’s old homes, de- serted now. The next time he looked back the Chuck was sitting on the doorstep of that old home. Ard that was the last Flip saw of him, for the clever young Chuck knew when he enough.
