Nothing But the Truth.
• The fact that Douglas Fairbanks,
despite his acting abilities, is one of
,the least pretentious of men, lends
point to a story he is fond of telling.
It concerns another film actor, not
lay any means• in the first rank, who
thought no end of a lot of himself.
The director of the film company
did not r -hare the actor's opinion, how=
ever, and sacked him: The latter
theasupon sued the company for
breach of contract, claiming heavy
damages.
• Counsel for the company demanded
to know why he -assessed the damage
he alleged he sustained at so exorbit-
ant a rata.
"Became," he replied proudly, "I
aiu the greatest cinema actor in the
world."
Later one of his friends took him to
tack for so loudly singing his own.

"I know it must have sounded some-
what conceited," replied the actor,
"but I was on my oath to speak .the
truth, so what could I do?"

Surnnes and Their Origin
HALES.
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
All you need to discover the origin
of this family name is a geography or
gazetteer, for it is the name of a town,
or rather a village.
England is full of tiny communities,
to -day far overshadowed by the great
modern cities, but which in medieval
times were important landmarks and
centres. That is the reason that cer-
tain small communities to -day have
comparatively large representation in
Parliament, while larger ones have
comparatively small representation.
The English have been sluggish in ad-
justing their political representation
to the shifting .of population:
Hales is, a village in Glouchestershire.
It is also the name of a small town in
Norfolk; and ;with the first to use it
as aesuanane it simply indicated that
they had come fromeither r one or the
other of these localities,
The name is said to designate in
Cornish -British speech the low level
lands washed by a river.

REATH.
Variations—Reith, Ram.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
As a usual thing family names' of
Irish origin are rather easily dis-
tinguishable as such by their form.
Here is one, however, which is more
likely to be considered English than
Irish, especially when you find it in
the form of Ram, which is virtually an
Anglicization according to meaning.
rather than sound.
The Irish form of the name is
"O'Reithe" and was borne by a clan
established, 50 far as can be aster
tained, about the year 450 A:D. or 500,
thus antedating by some six centuries
the majority of English family" names,
and by three or four the majority of
Gaelic ones:
The name was derived' from the des-
criptive surname which the chief who.
founded .he clan was known, that of
"Ceann . Reith" or "Ram's ead." This,
chieftain was a descentant of one
"Fothach Argthach," who ruled as
"High -King" over all Ireland for a
period of several years prior to 285

its First Compliment,
The. Court had settled down to en-
joy'itself. • A motorist was in the dock
on a . Charge of speeding, and, unfor-
tunately for the accused, the tnagis
trate *as an anti-znotor]st.
Nearly all' the people present were
aware of the magistrate's aversion to
car owners, and drivers, and therefore,
were looking forward to some dry
compliments from him.
"The officer," began the magistrate
in his' pompous way, "says that you
were .going at forty miles an hour."
I
"'V'ery well;" replied the delinquent,
pniling quite happily.
Tho magistrate looked very much
surprised, arid then said:
"You are the first man I ever saw
who didn't seem angry with the of-
fides•,"
"Well," was the answer, "it's the
first compliment that has ever been
paid to any old bus,"
ern summer melted the now over tie
former camping ground of a previo s
expedition, Mr. MacMillan discovered
considerable debris, including some
wire and one odd telephone mouth-
piece. His Eskimo companion show-
ed intense interest in the white man's
explanation of the use of the tele-
phone. When the explorer turned in
for a few hours' sleep, the ingenious
native tried his hand at telephone line
construction.
Along the bleak Arctic coast ran a
straggling row of split boards about
five feet high, from which was fes-
tooned a couple of hundred yards of
wire. A single telephone mouthpiece
dangled at one end of the line, and be
fore it stood a solitary Eskimo. Into
this improvised telephone he shouted
a few words in his native language,
then ran madly along the pole line,
clapped the far end of the wire to his
ear and listened for his own message.
A11 he heard was the wind whistling
over the ice -bound waters along the
grim ,northwest coast of Greenland.
Disappointed, but still hopeful, the
Eskimo returned to the mouthpiece.
Evidently feeling that he had not
sprinted quite fast enough the first
time, he repeated the process with an
extra burst of speed, only to be dis-
appointed again. Just then there ap-
peared round the corner of the hut the
white explorer who had given him the
scrap wire and the old mouthpiece.
Immediately the Eskimo ceased his
efforts and laughingly renrdrked that
he knew the white man was lying
when he told about the telephone, for
nobody could talk through a wire that
had no hole in it!
However, the Eskimos are not the
only persons who do not understand
telephony. Incredible as it sounds,
there are people in England to -day
who do not recognize a telephone in-
strument when they see it! The Lon-
don Telegraph and Te' ephone News +
says that a respectable -looking and
eemingly well-educated Belton vo-
iced a row of telephones on a table
t the Wembley Exposition, fixed one
ye at the transmitter of the nearest
nstrument and gazed long and earn-
stly into it as if it had been a spy -
lass. Evidently the view failed to
ome up to his expectations, for he
ried instrument after instrument in
he. , .ne way and regretfully walked
ff lit quest of more thrilling enter-
ainment.
