In the French revolution they abolished nobility, prohibited religion and made a new calendar for themselves, and the story of M. de Saint- Janiver shows how all three worked out in practice. They abolished the "de" in his name because it smacked of nobility; the "Saint," because it reminded of religion; and the /'Janiver" (January) because thejr had changed the calendar; so his name went down on the records' as: "Citizen Nivoso, formerly De Saint-Janiver." iMlit FOR SALE The Bank t( England ^ The-Bank of England is not a government institution, but a private banking house, the largest in the world, with the British government as its chief customer.

(Associated Newspapers--WNU Sarvie*,} " Zenobia Has Two Meaning* The name jjjenobia has two meanings: Arabic, laftlirs ornament," and Greek, "born of Zeus." Zenobia, queen of Palmyra, was overthrown by Rome in the Third century and led as a captive in a triumphal procession. But the grandeur of her position and the glamour of her beauty still cling to her name. WASHINGTON. -- The almost unique career, for a woman, of a small, wiry, middle-aged widow who has supported herself for 16 years operating a goat ranch, was disclosed in an application from Mrs. Josie Medford, of Parkdale, Colo., for permission to graze her herd on public lands undetvlhe jurisdiction of the general land ojjfice. One of the few women - to be awarded the usefof federal land in connection with the operation of a goat ranch, Mrs. Medford has been offered a five-year lease for approximately 800 acres of mountainous country in Fremont county, near Canon City, as a range for her animrfs. For the lai!t 16 years, it was disclosed, Mrs. Medford has been doing her own work, herding, milking; fencing, building and conducting the other chores incidental" to the conduct of a ranch. "She now has 150 milch goats that she grazes on her own lands and adjacent public range," an official report stated. "About half of these goats ere milked every day and the milk is delivered at Canon City for shipment to Colorado Springs; she and a boy who lives with her, take turns in herding and hauling the milk to Canon City 25 miles away." Emphasizing that Mrs. Medford's choice of an enterprise is far from easy, the report points out that goats are not turned loose on the range, but are carefully herded. The report concludes with this testimony as to the hardihood of Mrs. Medford: "There are no improvements on the lands applied for, but she states that if she feels as energetic as she has in the past she will probably get out and fence these lands to keep the cow men off." v VOLO U. S. Navy's Air Force Equal to Any in World WASHINGTON.--President Roosevelt and high naval officials were convinced by recent fleet maneuvers in the South Atlantic that the naval air forces of the United States equal, and perhaps surpass, those of any other nation. Their opinion was based on a study of performance of the 600 planes--about one-third of the navy's total air strength--during two weeks of exercises in which assignments were carried out without incident. Admiral William D. Leahy, chief of naval operations, praised the performance of both ships and aircraft during the maneuvers and said "reliability and effectiveness" of sea and aerial defenses was demonstrated. "The performance of aircraft in the maneuvers was, by far, the best I ever saw," Leahy said. "They carried out their mission without an accident. The advantages in toe air were on the 'defense* side." Mule Is Rated as Most Valuable Farm Animal WASHINGTON.--The mule seems to be winning its fight for existence in the United States, but the horse is not doing so well. A government survey shows there were 4,382,000 mules in the country in 1938. This was a reduction of I per cent from 1937 but the number of mules foaled in 1938, while smaller than the number of deaths of old mules, was the largest in 10 years. Officials found mules in every state, though too few in New England to be included in the figures. More than 80 per cent of the total was found in the South. The survey showed 10,800,000 work-horses in the country, some in each state but more than 55 per cent in the North Central states. The total was 3 per cent less than in 1937, with the number of horses foaled in 1938 the smallest in six years. The work-horse total has declined about 50 per cent in the last 20 years. The federal specialists rate the mule as the most valued of farm animals, giving it a national average of $118, as contrasted with $84 for the horse and $56 for the cow. Herb Specialist Makes Hamburger Kingly Dish CLEVELAND.--By the addition of the proper herbs, hamburger can be raised to the gastric level of fileT mignon, according to Miss Daisy Healey. Miss Healey's hobby is collecting and experimenting with herbs. She raises them, too, and has created some new ones through experiments with combinations. "I decided to have an herb laboratory after visiting an herb garden at Mount St. Albans, Wash." she said. "In my herbarium are thyme and marjorum, which, with a bit of mystic mace, give a roast of beef or hamburger just the right flavoring." Miss Healey said her other aromatic plants include tarragon, linden, lavender, and bay laurel. "Herbs should be used as a sea-, soning and not to overshadow theflavor of foods. They relieve the monotony of good, but plainly cooked meals," she said. 1,101 Graves Enough SANTA CRUZ, CALIF.--Charles Herbet, grave digger for 30 years, retired upon digging hifi 1,000th grave.
