c Shaw in Pale Faces, Tired Feel-
ing and Breathlessness.
People who are pale, languid, with
palpitation of the heart and shortness
of breath at slight exertion are suffer-
ing from thin, impure blood. If they
have the resolution to take the right
remedy and stick to it, they will find
new health and strength. The remedy
that can always be relied upon is Dr.
Wil,}„ fa' Pink Pills. With every
dose they improve and invigorate the
blood, and this new blood means
health and strength. Mrs. A. Griffiths,
Pierson, Man., is one of the many
thousands who have proved the value
of these pills. She says:—"I was so
badly run down in health that I was
almost bedfast. The least exertion
would leave me breathless. I suffered
from headaches and backaches and
had no appetite. I could only drag
about the house and found even light
housework almost impossible. I tried
several remedies but they did not do
me a particle of good. Then a friend
came for a visit and she urged me to
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I
had finished the second box I could
feel that they were helping me.. By
the time I had taken four boxes more
I was a well woman and every symp-
tom of my trouble had disappeared.
It would not be possible for me to say
too much in favor of this medicine,
and I always recommend it to run-
down people, and have seen it prove
just as satisfactory in other cases."
If you are weak and run down you
can begin getting new strength to-
. -day by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Holidays 13,,,.= Chance.
Of unusual holidays few can have
occasioned more interest than that of
a retired. American brewer now .visit -
!lig London on his way to Greenland.
At his home in Milwaukee he has a
globe of the earth's surface. Whcn his
annual holiday is due he takes a hat-
pin and, .giving the globe a spin, sticks
the pin into it. Where the pin sticks,
there the brewer goes!
Last year the pin indicated the Vale
of Cashmere, in India, whither the
bi ewer `made his way. The previous
year he found himself obliged to visit
termany, while the year before that
a Wan not fifty miles from his home
was the holiday resort thus, chosen.
He has visited in this way places as
far apart as Christiania and Mel-
bourne, Montreal and Cornwall, and
Stockholm and Cairo. When the pin
sticks into the ocean the originator of
thin decidedly novel plan allows him-
self a second try.
Broadcasting a Pin -fall.
A pin was dropped on a desk by Dr.
Gano Dunn in the oourse of his ad-
dress at the dedication of the new
building of the National Academy of
Sciences and the National Research
Council in Washington.
That pin -fall was perhaps• the most
significant and widely heard of any
in history. Without being warned to
silence, every person in the high -
domed, wide -winged hall heard the pin.
as it struck the woodwork. Thousands
of wireless listeners hundreds of miles
away, also heard.
Specially designed artificicai stone
walls made the sound clear, distinct,
and without those hollow echoes which
characterize old (high -vaulted build-
ings.. That pin -fall sounded an en-
gineering triumph in the long -neglect-
ed science of acoustics.

R- SELF -GOVERNED
GOT THANKLESS TASK
THROUGH LEAGUE
MANDATE.
Treaty Granting Independ-
ence is Signed, but British,
Miist Shape People Into
a Nation.
By a narrow margin Irak signed the
Anglo -Irak Treaty—the only pos.sible
instrument assuring her eventual in-
dependence—and the British will con-
tinue in the rather thankless task of
shaping an irresponsible and inexperi-
enced people into a nation, says a
Bagdad despatch.
Great Britain having accepted the
mandate of Irak, under the League of
Nations directly after the war, eine
gated herself, accepted a trust, and
she intends, if possible, to bear with
this trust to the end. Since 1917
Great Britain has done more with
Irak than any other nation could pos-
sibly have done, but even so has suc-
ceeded only in setting up a more or
less, fallible monarchy, presided over
by an Arab figurehead, and liable at
any time to be thrown, without for-
eign guidance, into internal anarchy.
Great Britain has long since realized
that as an investment Irak is thor-
oughly bad, and that the pounds (6,-
000,000) which she annually pours in-
to this. investment, could be much bet
ter put to use elsewhere. She has
done all in her power to mould this
disjointed section into a nation, but
one eannot make a durable crock of
sand and water, and at is plain that
the Iraki, at least at this stage of their
development, are little better than
sand and water. And since in addition
to this there has been an appreciable
amount of irritation caused by the pet-
tiness of some Irak officials, the Bri-
tish are quite prepared to Leave the
country. But they do not wish to
leave it in its present vulnerable and
unstable condition; it would be a very
severe reflection on their ability and
wisdom. It thus became very evident
that a departure of some sort was
necessary.
Tenor of the Treaty.
The result was, the negotiation of a
treaty with a protocol and subsidiary
agreements• following in its wake. The
much-discussed Anglo -Irak treaty sets
certain stipulations• for the future
which will give the Irak investment
less of a failure ccomplected aspect,
and which grants to the British cer-
tain financial and military rights that
will allow them to carry on in the
country for another four years and es-
tablish the Irak Government as a per-
manent institution.
But some Iraki contend that the
treaty is severe; that it wrests from
them pertain inviolate rights, imposes
upon them restrictions which will
pair growth and retard them in their
struggle for independence; lays upon
them rigid financial demands and ob-
ligations --in short, is an instrument
which will preclude realization of their
ideal. In their stigmatism and youth
they are not aware that the clauses of
the treaty, generally speaking, -point
toward their eventual benefit, and that
without the protection and guidance it
affords they will be left a prey to in-
vasion.
Charge British With imperialism.
Since the acceptance of the mandate
the efforts of the British have been
highly favored with altruism, but this
fact in no way checks the bitterness.
of excitable tongues., for the British
have been accused of ;having imperial-
istic designs in their policies concern-
ing Irsak. When one stops to consider
that Great Britain's policies are de-
termined not by individual- and iso-
lated countries but by world-wide in-
terests, and it is understood that the
occupancy of Irak by the British has
been an exception to this rule, and
that by her connections with Irak she
injures her more universal interests, it
is beyond reason to accuse her of im-
perialistic motives.
Situation at Present.,
Now that the treaty is ratified by
the constituent assembly the Iraki
have made their first move in the di-
rection of an eventual independence.
The British will stand by them. for an-
other four years, will protect them and
their interests. will shape them for
membership in the League of Nations,
will develop their country and will
then, at the end of the stipulated
period, leave the management of the
country entirely to the iraki and wish
them Godspeed,. 'A rejection of the
treaty would assuredly have meant
the' downfall of Irak and than an even-
tual invasionbyoutside Powers have
been d•eter•mined only by the amount
of ambition and avarice of such na-
tions as' Turkey and Persia and the
less friendly tribes of Arabia, except
for the possibility of international
league.
Child Vagrants.'
In Russia' vagrancy among children
is so Prevalent as to shock even pec=
ple who for tel: year& have seen little
except`"suffering. Soviet newspapers'
report efforts by the Government te.
deal with the evil, but the children
aro many and the means of caring for
them are insufficient.. Tlie newspaper
Pravda recently estimated that there
are fiftythousand vagrant children
merely in Moscow and'i'ts suburbs..

In a Devon Garden.
The spring was late in coming,
The flowers were very shy,
When in my Devon garden fair
The sweet West Wind swept by.
She dropped some teare in Passing,
What magic in them lay
That on the wall japonica
Leapt forth in crimson spray?
The violets just unfolding
Were startled into bloom;
The witch in the genista-bush
Waved high her golden broom.
The pixies through the soft red earth
Thrust up their small green spears,
Ah, would I had the magic touch
Of West Wind and ter tears!

The Fleet.
A swan on the river is sailing;
I see her drift down to the bay!
A convoy, she, unfailing
To craft that know not the way!
Oh, white the sails that are going
To an isle in the waters below;
And golden the paddles rowing
In the calm of the stream's still flow!
A harbor there is in the rushes,
A harbor all safe and sure
With scarcely a bough that brushes
The pool to a rippling lure!
Then meadows there are out-s$reading
Where tufts of sea -rice grow;
And convoy heading, heading
Her fleet of yellow and snow!

Father's Responsibility.
Under the Ontario Act requiring
fathers to maintain children born out
of wedlock the sum of $67,000 was col-
lected last year in cash, and addition-
al amounts due would bring the sum
up to well over $100,000. Steps are
taken to ensure 'the health and best
welfare of infants and -to this end ad-
vice and assistance is given to moth-
ers. This Act will, it is expected, pre-
vent a great deal' of neglect and aban-
donment of infants and prove a deter-
rent to men who are guilty of this
great wrong to young women Mr. J.

Progressin Mnlning in. Y. OA
. Territory.
The 'report of the. Mining Recorder
of the Yukon Territory for the calendar
year 1923 contains some interesting in
formation regarding progress . there.
The statistics in regard to claims
are as follows:
Placer Mining, grants '5; renewals,.
5; relocations, 5.
Quartz Mining, grants, 121; renew-
als, 1,052; claims in good standing,
1,312. Iu connection with the claims in
good standing it is interesting to note
that as a full quartz claim is over 50
acres in extent these claims represent
an area of approximately 65,000. acres,
or over 100 .square miles.
The total amount of ore shipped
from Mayo Landing in the summer of
1923 was 8,762% tons. Since no ore 1s
bagged that assays less than 200
ounces an silver to the ton, this out-
put represents a large revenue.
Of numerous new veins uncovered
last year the most promising are those
of the Lake Group where interested
parties combined in diverting a large
flow of water with the result that the
overburden was washed in several
places to a depth of thirty feet, ex-
posing veins of silver ore fromwhich
assays have been obtained sufficient to
warrant the owners arranging for the
neccessary equipment and supplies to
carry on additional exploratory work.
The Keno Hill Mining Company
ceased operations on Keno Hill and
transferred its equipment to the
Friendship Group adjoining the Tread-
well Yukon Company property on the
south. This company has built a per-
manent camp and carried out a con-
siderable amount of exploratory work
to date. It employs an average of
thirty-three men.
The Treadwell Company employs an
average of eighty-one men for its work
inclusive of the work of the wood
camp. It carried on extensively dur-
ing the past year and erected a large
new office and warehouse and has
several ten -ton caterpillars hauling
ore to the landing.
In addition to the number of men
employed by the different companies
in both quartz and placer mines, there
were about 150 prospecting and work-
ing their own ground. There have
been no serious accidents, no labor
troubles and very little sickness. A
new placer strike was made at the
mouth of Gull creek, as a result of
which over twenty claims were staked.

SUMMER HEAT
HARD ON BABY
No season of the year is so danger-
ous to the life of little ones as is the
summer. The excessive heat throws
the little stomach out of order so
quickly that unless prompt aid is at
hand the baby may be beyond all
human help before the. mother real-
izes he is ill. Summer is the season
when diarrhoea, cholera infantum,
dysentry and colic are most prevalent.
Any one of these troubles may prove
deadly if not promptly treated. Dur-
ing the summer the mothers' best
friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They
regulate the bowels, sweeten the
stomach and keep baby healthy. The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers

Surnames and Their Origin
PINKERTON
Racial Origin—Norman French.
Source—A locality.
Perhaps you have wondered about
this family name. It is misleading.
In spite of yourself you keep associat-
ing it in your mind with the -word
"pink," but it has no con'neotien with
this word at all.
Again it is a natural, but as it hap-
pens, erroneous• assumption that the
ending 'ton" reveals it as one of those
Purely Anglo-Saxon place names com-
pounded of the word 'which has given
us our modern word "town" and which
is to be found in the ending of so
many English place names:..
The name, however, is a splendid
example of the way in which a name
developed in one language can be in-
fluenced entirely out of its• original
form by another tongue.
The, original form of this family
name -was "De Pontcardon," Pontcard-
on being a place name in Normandy.
It was of courile first borne by men,
probably in the ranks of the, Con-
queror's army, who came from that lo-
cality. But in the course of time its
pronunciation was a bit slurred, and
men, forgetting that it was a French
name, 'began 'to spell it as it was
pronounced. Hence dPinkertOn.
LAWLOP..
Variation—La to r.
Racial Origin—Irish.
Source—A given name.
It would take you a good many
guesses to arrive at the Gaelic spell-
ing of this old Irish clan name which
has become with usa not uncommon
family name.
It is "O'Leathlabhair." But between
consonant combinations which, in the
Gaelic, neutralize each other into sil-
ence, and others which are but faintly
enunciated; and dipthongs which have
entirely different sounds from those
we would give them in English, this
rather difficult looking name resolves
itself into the sound of "O'Lawlor."
And in this phonetic spelling it was
taken over into English.
"Leathlabhar" was an ancient Irish
given name compounded from the
words for "hall" and 'speaker," as well
'as can be 'ascertained, for, of course,
.as a given name it far antedated the
period (in about the tenth century)
when the clan name was formed. •
The chieftain of this. name 'who
foundet the clan belonged to the still
more ancient line of the O'Harts, and
unquestionably the'bulk of his follow-
ers at lrst were more or less distant
ablations and members of the same
clan.

"But, doctor, I'm different; I'm
afraid of people. My hands and feet
seem so big, and I can's talk, and if I
walk into a room I'm sure to fall over
something. How can I ever get over
it?"
The doctor looked quizzically at the
raw, half -developed boy before him.
"When I was your age," he said slow-
ly, "I was about as you are, 'only worse.
I was poorer, bigger, slower in school
and more awkward. It was real tor-
ture for me to meet people, especially
women and girls.
"One day as I was going downtown
barefoot I saw coming towards me
two girls whom I knew by sight; they
were well dressed and jolly. I thought
of skipping down a side street, but I
was in the middfle of a long block and
had to face them. Suddenly I noticed
a cow in one of the side yards. Per-
haps if I could seem to be driving her,
my big hands and feet wouldn't show.
Gathering a handful of pebbles and
calling to her to 'huy-huy, boss!' I
started her off.
"The girls came to where I was
vigorously driving the animal from
her chosen pasture. Then a clear,
loud treble voice called from the
house:
"'You, boy, what are you doing with
my father's cow?'
"You can imagine the rest. I had
made a ridiculous spectacle of myself.
In my confusion I stepped into a patch.
of sand burs with my bare feet. The
pain made me wince; I lost my bal-
ance and fell into a muddy ditch. I
can still hear those girls laugh!
"I hid out in the haymow for two
days to think it over. When I came
back I told my mother that I had been
visiting, and she wisely professed to
believe it. As a matter of fact I had
visited myself. I reasoned that my
fears of other people were groundless
and foolish, and that I had been silly
to imagine that the whole world was
watching me. The roads and all the
world were free to everyone, and I re-
solved to use then without fear.
"It was a fight of course, but I won.
And I learned that people are not to
be feared or avoided but to be loved
and enjoyed. I'm not lonesome any
more; you see that everyone calls me
doc and how we all enjoy it. Why not
live as you go along?"
"Why, doctor, I suppose that 1—But
there, I'm still trying to believe that
I'm different from everyone else. I'in
not! I'm going to have friends as
other people have!"
And with chin up and eyes shining
the boy started off to seek the great
adventure of friendship. — Youth's

Origin of Mystic Swastika

Every now and then the origin of
the swastika crops up in connection
with the huge black hooked cross sign
displayed on the banners of national-

ly adamant tendency, says a Berlin
despatch. "Death to Jews" is the
signification in German party politi-
cal circles. The Danish expedition in
Palestine, under the leadership of

Capernaum, in the Synagogue of Tell -
Hun, a handsome frieze decorating
one part of the ruins which shows a

wall.

Did He Attend the. Party?
No, He Went to Bed!
Here is a laughable story of an ab•
sentminded man—no, not a college
professor this time, but a young fel-
dow 1n his early twenties- He had,
been invited to attend a leap -year
party and—courageous youth!—had,
accepted. The young lady who was tq
be his escort called for him at the ap-
pointed hour and was informed that
he was dressing. (Men are always
late, aren't they?) She waited for
some time, but the young man did not
appear.
At last his mother went up to his
room to hurry hilt, and gracious! she
found him in bed! While he was re-
moving his everyday clothes his mind
had wandered to some other matter.,
and habit had done the rest.
Our contributor who sends us the
story adds that, if the young lady who
called had been "his own particular
young lady," he might not have for-
gotten all about her. Perhaps not. As
it was, perhaps, he was more cautious
than absent-minded. Remember, it
was a leap -year party!
