"Now the war is coining! Now
the war is coming !" shouted Take.
All at once Tiro's soldiers began
to run. The other soldiers ran, too.
They ran straight toward each other
and tried to get each others' flags.
Take saw Taro wave his sword.
"On, soldiers, on !" he shouted.
Then there was a great mix-up of
boys and flags. It seenjed like a
bundle of waving arms and legs and
banners. Every boy was shouting
at the top of his voice. ,
Take climbed right yi top of the
gate-post, she was so excited. She
'stood up on it and waved her arms.
"Look at that thild!" cried the
mother. "She'll fall!"
Take was dancing for joy.
( "There they cornel There they
come!" she cried.
Her -father reached, up and held
her still. VBe quiet, grasshopper,"
he said.
Taro and his army were coming
, up. the street on the run. Nearly
every little .boy had two flags! The
other army was running away as
fast as it could go.i They had only
two banners left
"Beat the drum!" shouted Taro.
The drummer boy began, "rat-a-tat-ttat,"
and the whole victorious army
.marched down the street and right
. into Taro's garden ! :
As he passed his father and
mother and Grannie and Bot'Chan,
Taro saluted. His father saluted
Taro, and every one of the family
Grannie and all cried "Banzai!
Banzai!" That means the same as
hurrah lJ
Then Take tumbled off the gate
post and raced up to the porch after
the soldier. At tthe porchy the sol
diers broke ranks.
. The general's mother ran into the
house and brought out sweet rice
eakes and sugared beans. She fed

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If you .want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means; get rid of dandruff, for it
will starve your hair and ruin it if
you don't.
, It doesn't do much good Jo try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entire
ly. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace
of it. ,
You will find, tooj ,that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It
Is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

boys in it.
"Fighting makes a soldier'very
hungry," Taro said.
Then his mathcr went into the
house and brought out more cakes
and more beans. The boys ate them
all.
The army stayed at Taro's house
and played with his soldiers and
drilled on his porch lintil lunch-time,
when they all went to their own
homes.
After luncheon, Taro played with
his tops. He had two beautiful ones.
One was a singing top.
He was spinning the singing top
when all of a sudden, there was a
great noise in the street. He ran to
see what was the matter.

WHY?
Are the Months So Named?
(Copyright. 1920, by th Whelf
Syndicate, Inc.)
The names of all our months,
as we know them today, date
back to the days of the Caesars,
and several of them show the in
fluence of the belief in the pagan
deities who were supposed to pre
side over the destinies of time
and space.
January is named for Janus,
the two-faced god, in order to
signify the idea that this month
looked forward to the new year
' well as back upon the old.
February takes its name from
the Latin februare, to purify, be
cause 5n that month ceremonies
of funeral purification were held
in 'Rome. March was called aft
er Mars, the god of war pre
sumably on account of its harsh,
blustery weather while April
was derived from the Latin aper
ire, to open, this being the period
of theyear when the earth opens
its bounty to the world and trees
'commence to bud. Mav was
named for Maia, the goddess of
growth, and the three follow
ing months June, July and Au
gustperpetuate the names of
three of Rome's famous men
Junius, Julius Caesar and Augus- J
ta Laesar.
As the Roman calendar orig
inally began with March, the
month which we know as Sep
tember was the seventh, and owes
its name to this fact as do Oc
tober. November and December,
which were to be the earlier Ro-'
mans thejeighth, ninth and tenth
months.

How Dicky Was Oddly Put "In a
Fix."
I wonder if every woman longs as
I sometimes do to be able just for
24 hours to consider no one's feel
ings but her own, to act upon the
first impulse which seizes her, re
gardless of the consequences. I sin
cerely hope this is true, for I should
hate to feel that the emotion I felt
upon hearing little Mrs. Durkce's
exclamation had no counterpart in
the experiences of other women.
For I had an almost irresistible
impulse to take my little neighbor
by the shoulders, shake her thor
oughly, turn her out of the room
and a monkey! The monkey and
the little boy did tricks together.
Then the man and the boy did
tricks.

and lock the door after her. I had
been harassed for days with tlie
numberless wishes and queries of all
the members of my family concern
ing our projected trip. To have little
Mrs. Durkee's woes, real of im
aginary, added to the ones 1 already
had, seemed the traditional straw too
much.
But, fortunately for he amenities
of civilization, women generally are
gifted with the ability to be social
hypocrites, and I do not think I am
on exception to the general rule.
Therefore I hospitably drew two
chairs forward, motioned my
mother-in-law to one, and going up
to my litle neighbor put my arm
around her shoulder and took down
the handkerchief from her eyes with
a firm hand.
In thus ministering to her I found
my irritation fast vanishing. I am
genuinely fond of "Iter Fluffiness,"
and long ago learned the lesson
which all her family and friends
know that it is impossible to re
main angry or even Irritated a her
for over a minute or two of time.
"Look here!" I said didactically,
"crying isn't going to help what
ever is the matter. So suppose you
sit down here and tell me all about
Rita Brown."
' "Her Fluffiness" sank obediently
into the chair I indicated, lifted her
still lovely child-like ,eyes to mine.
"You are always such a comfort,
Madge," she sighed."But even you
can't help me out this time. Leila's
as stubborn as a mule, and Alfred
just stands right there like an ap
pointed idiot and oacKs up every
word she says. I can't imagine what
the girl can be thinking of. I should
think she'd remember how taken
Alfred was at the one time with
that tha oh. I can't find words
strong enough to call her. I'd be ar
rested if I said them out loud. Well,
there's one thing certain, if anybody
thinks I'm going to travel south in
the same drawing room with her
they've just got two more thinks
coming, that's all."
"Margaret," my mother-in-law
interrupted,, with her eyes still full
of suspicion. "Flease close that win
dow. It is exceedingly chilly in here.
I am surprised that you have it open.
I just closed the one in the, bath
room. It was chilling the whole
house, and here this one is wider
open still.
I was panic-stricken at her words,
for Dicky in his dash out of ihe
room to avoid meeting her had
counted, as I well knew, upon the
open bathroom window as a means
of getting into the house again from
the veranda roof. If it had been
shut before he reached it he must
still be literally "cooling his heels"
upon the veranda roof. I knew that
he was rather sketchily attired in
negligee shirt, trousers and slip
pers, nnd knew also that he was
warm from dashing to and fro in the
ridiculously futile movements which
he in common with most other men
call "packing." The danger of his
becoming thoroughly chilled was
very real.
There was but one thing to do,
however. I must get my visitors
out of the room as soon as I could.
"Suppose you come into my room
instead," I suggested hospitably,
rising as 1 spoke. "The odor of
moth balls was so strong in here
that I simply had to open the wiir
dow."
"Margaret! Have you taken leave
of your senses?" demanded my
mother-in-law. "Richard never uses
moth balls and you know it. I
agree with you that we ought to go
to a warmer room, but if you are
unwilling to heed my suggestion I
shall certainly close this window be
fore I leave. The room will be so
chillv that he will take his death of
cold."
She was between the window and
me, and it was impossible for nie to
forestall her purpose. Despite my
very real anxiety I could not help
seeing the grim humor of her ac
tion. She was making impossible
the only .chance her son bad to keep
from "taking his death of cold." '
She walked to the window, and,
Uf my consternation, jmt her head
out of it. I watched her, fascinated,
wondering what she would do who,-,,
she saw, as she must, her son stand
ing outside.
I heard a little choking gasp of
astonishment, which (lie next in
stant changed into a very creditable
imitation of a cough. Then my
mother-in-law drew her head in at
the window and said with astonish
ing calmness:
"I don't know but you are right,
Margaret. This room does smell
abominably of moth balls. When
you' bring your head in from the
fresh air you notice it. You'd bet
ter leave the window open, and we'll
go down to my room.
"And you really ought to make
Richard do something about Mrs.
Durkee's reservations."
