The naming of mountains after per-

Do we not find North Africa's highest
mountain named Atlas after the giant

site side of the straits -named for an-
other mighty legendary hero who

broad Atlantic sweep into the land?
The Old World has many moun-

The Tonic He Needed',
Jim Hatherton was right in the middle of his final examinations at Ifarsiiy when as he
said himself something snapped and he was just a bundle of nerves. He went to a doctor and
told his story. The medical man, not so long out ofuniversity imself asked a good many ques-
tions about Jim's examination and his home folks.
Finally he said "You sit right down here at my telephon and call up your mother and
have a real good chat. I know you write every week and ail; that, but just have a good chat
and don't hurry for it will not cost much anyway."
Jim did more than that; he called his home every evenini from` his rooms while the exams
were on. The sound of his mothers voice seemed to be just;hhe tonic he needed..
Mount Tacoma or Mount Rainier?
Seattle insists upon honoring the name
of Captain Rainier rather than that of
Tacoma, a rival city. Rainier's name,
too, has been ,given to a great national
park.
Oregon honors the name of an Eng-
lishman
nglishman with its loveliest mountain.
Mount Hood raises its hoary head high
above the surrounding country and
looks down from the height of 11,000
feet upon the Columbia River. This
mountain was first discovered by
white men in 1792. No one knows
just which member of Vancouver's ex-
pedition first saw it and gave it a name
in honor of Admiral Samuel Hood of
his Majesty's Navy.
Although an English surveyor had
the loftiest mountain in the world
named for him, an American Presi-
dent was honored by having the peak
that rises highest above the surround-
ing country named iu his honor. Ever-
est has many lesser brothers hem-
ming it in. Mount McKinley, in Alas-
ka, named in 1896 In honor of William
McKinley, rises to a greater height
above the surrounding country than
any other mountain in the world, It
pierces the sky at; a height of more
thin '20 000 feet. "'
In the Andes whoever named the
peaks seemed content almost to let
mortals alone. Many are named for
saints but we find a fine 17,000 -foot
mountain named in honor of a Spanish
poet who was born 200 years before
Columbus began his first voyage. The
poet Ruiz may be otherwise forgotten,
but Mount Ruiz will keep his name
fresh.
The naming of mountains after peo-
ple may sometimes be acuompanied
by ceremony. Such a ceremony took

Short -Temper O_ -e Way
of Reducing That Surplus
"Never lose your temper" is a
maxim that has been impressed on
countless generations of young peo-
ple. But if you are too fat, and want
to reduce, It's a good principle to
adopt.
For it has now been proved by
science that the emotions of anger and
fear burn up fat. So every time you
lose your temper you are helping to
combat that middle-aged spread. And
if you inspire sufficient terror in the
object of your wrath, you are helping
him to retain a slim and shapely figure
as well, •
So losing your temper may be good
for you -and just as good for other
people. The short-tempered wife who
Bares up on the slightest provocation,
and whose husband trembles at her
words, is, all unconsciously, the guard-
ian of the family health.
Even a wet holiday, if it frays tem-
pers sufficiently, may thus be a healthy
holiday. And the small boy whose
tricks make grown-ups stutter and
shake with rage may be a public bene-
factor. But -be careful! Temper
does sometimes get people into awk-
ward scrapes, and the plea that you're
reducing, or helping others to reduce,
may not always be accepted.
Coal Better Than Sand
As Filter For Water
Scientists have found recently
that anthracite coal is an effective
filter for water, being much better
than sand and gravel. Tests have
shown that certain grades of an-
thracite, properly prepared, filter out
as. much as ninety-nine per cent. of
bacteria in polluted waters, and in
addition remove colors and odors.
Reasonable prudence is the begin-
ning of wisdom. -Benito Mussolini.
