The Winfer Dancing club tinds the stars multiplying every day upon its imaginary service flag. A large number of the members are in the service of Uncle Sam and to find part ners for all the girls at the different dances was becoming a problem. But a unique plan lias bctn discovered for the big formal party which will be given March 2. Every member of the club is to in vite a couple. Most of the invited guests will be from the forts and this will transform the party into a li'.ular military hop. And the girls, will they be happy? We rather think so. This dance will be in the form of an auld lange syne party. This group of young chaps and girls have been friends for several years. The warm summer evenings have found them one-stepping at the Happy Hollow club, while the winter time has claimed tnem at riarte Hall. They will probably regretfully) lance Home, Sweet Home on the night of the last party of the season, for these have been such enjoyable affairs and there ate so many of the men gone. But we mustn't lapse into a sob story and we feel sure that the girls will wear their frilliest frocks and their most enchanting smiles at the grand windup of the Winter Dancing club. For.

The Origin of the Mermaid Myth The student of orgins in trying to go back to the very earliest type of this idea finds that the ancient Baby lonians had their fish-god who in formed Noah that the tlood was about to come on tht earth) and that the Philistines, who gave the name Palestine to the Holy Land, had a deity, Dagon, the Fisii-On, who was pictured on the monuments as half fish, half man. Berosus reports the fable that this g;od was he who taught men to "build cities, to found temples, to compile laws by which men should live." Thns the earliest form- and that almost universally, was of the man-fish, not the woman, as we most often think of it. It is in the hands of the Semites that the mermaidn first appears, the moon-goddess being feminine. Ac cording to the myth she fled from Typhon, one of the gods, and plugged into the sea, where she was trans formed into a fish. The Syrian goddess of moisture, Tirgate, was represented as a mer maiden. It was but a step from pagen mythologies, with the fish symboliz ing the protector and teacher of man kind, to the fish as a Christian symbol in the Catacombs of Rome. It was supposed that the Greek word ixthns, meaning fish, stood for I-esus, X- raitns, TH-eou. U-ios, S-oter (Jesus Christ Son of God, Saviour.) As reminiscent of this catacomb fish the figure of the fish, often combined with a woman, possibly in combina tion of the idea of the Virgin and Jesus, afpears on many European cathedrals in the form of a mermaid. But very soon the mermaid passed from religion to heraldy and art decoration generally. In heraldy the mermaid is usually drawn, as the tail of a fish joined to the head, arms and body of a fair maiden, with long flow ing hair, and having in one hand a comb and in the other a mirror. Something New in Town From "The Land oi the Long Leaf Pine" A Remarkable Treatment From North Carolina That Relieves Croup and Cold Troubles With out the Necessity of Internal "Dosing"-Applied Externally. It is Inhaled as a Vapor and also Absorbed Through the Skin. Local Druggists Are Selling 25c Jars on 30 Days Trial No Charge if Not Delighted with the Results. Every year thousands of people, Buffering from various forms of lung trouble, make a pilgrimage to the pine Darrens or wonn uaroiina, tub mnu of the long leaf pine." The reason lies In the warm, dry air, perfumed with the Bplcy odor of the pines. Local druggists, however, nave re cently received a treatment that Is almost as good as a trip South. This Ms Vick's VapoRub, the Invention of a North Carolina druggist VapoRub comes in salve f&rm and when applied over the throat and chest, the body heat releases medi cated vapors that are inhaled with each breath, through the air passages, to the lungs, loosening the phlegm and soothing the inflamed membrane. In cases of severe chest colds, bronchitis, tonsllltls or incipient pneu monia, first apply hot, wet towels to open the pores. VapoRub is then ab sorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest. One rubbing with VapoRub usually relieves croup within 15 minutes and an application at bedtime prevents a night attack. For head colds, hay fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles, VapoRub can either be applied up the nostrils or a little melted in a spoon and the vapors Inhaled. The progressive druggists here are anxious that their customers should try this new treatment, and are, there fore, offering VapoRub on SO days' trial ' CASH AND JOY- -DEBT AND WORRY! 42 Basket Stores -42 Cash and Carry Saves Money.

"The photographer is here and lia? asked for a picture ot' the boys shoot ing craps." The four men were told in harsh military words to come forward and shoot craps. Fearing that they were not equipped with the necessary dice, the young lieutenant, according to the rules and regulations, requested.-"' that the officer higher up have the men searched for dice. "Any man here got dice?" roared the captain. Every man acknowledged the corn instantly, for every man at Fort Crook indulges in that (evidently) fascinat ing game of throwing dice. Not All Crap Games. Rut military life isn't all crap games and Fontenelle dinners and theater. parties. A Day ot Military Liie, which will be presented at tlje Audi torium Wednesday night. February 20, will show how strenuous, how thorough and how exacting arc the rules and regulations necessary for the good of the American army and the physical life of our boys.

The hospital unit to be established in France under the direction of the National American Woman 'Suffrage association is to be known as the Women's Foreign Service Hospital in the United States of America. Of Interest to Women Women insurance agents of Dallas, Tex., have formed an association. Many New England schoolnia'ams have left their class rooms to do war work in the factories. Southern Illinois is soon to have a training farm for girls who wish to learn practical farm work. Twenty-five Japanese ladies resid ing in New York City have formed an auxiliary Red Cross branch and are among the most active workers for the cause. English Women t Are Greatly Asssisti?ig Disabled Soldiers Few people know about the work that women are doing .in England in assistiug men who have lost the use of any of their limbs to regain some power of that member. A soldier whose right elbow had been sh6t away, leaving his arm per fectly useless, was brought to a hos pital at Chelsea, to have a splint fitted, in the hope of affording him some little use of his arm. Deftly the woman in charge fitted on a neat splint with a steel, artificial elbow, Missing: A Face All that Dolly has is hair, And a face should be somewhere In the neighborhood. Suppose You draw it, eyes and nose. ..j...;..j..x-t-"::-! while the soldier looked on patiently but hopelessly. "See what you can do now with your arm," the splintmaker said. Slowly at first he began to raise the arm, and then, crimson in the face with excitement over the unexpected triumph, he drew himself up and came to the salute. This is only one of the scores of successes which have been achieved. In improvised buildings a handful of women voluntary workers have turned out in the past year 1,500,000 separate articles, all supplied free. The evidence, from the letters of the patients themselves, of the as tounding help being given to men who previously had been both help less and hopeless makes most cheery reading. Take the officer who after 18 months in a bath chair with a use less foot was fitted with a steel re inforced leather boot made by one of the amateur women bootmakers. After six weeks' wear he returned to ask if his boot cannot be made water proof, as he is off for a fishing trip in Devon.

Eastern Dishonesty "The Levant," which means the same thing as Anatolia "region of the rising sun" is quite vague in its geographical scope. It includes Con- i. i ........ i.: L. . siditiniupie aim cci tiling diiywncic near th; eastern Mediterranean. Few geographical names have incurred m,orc unfavorable association. "Levantine" morals, particularly in the matter of honesty, is a byword, as might be expected trom such a jum-. ble of people. Our words "levanter" and "to levant," on the other hand. testify to the tact that dishonesty is not unknown even here in the west. They originate from the disappear ance of men who could not paytheir gambling and other debts and wre, reported to have gone to the cast. PIANOS $75 and "Up Terms to Suit.

For economy use it over and over again. It never carries taste or odor from one food to another. Why should you melt solid fats to make an oil for shortening when Mazola is already an oil and makes such delicious pastries? Mazola makes a perfect salad dressing, equal in quality to one made with the best olive oil, superior to one made with ordinary olive oil. It is easier to mix than an olive oil dressing.
