Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name, BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. (Eljiatynlm HTHIS name is of Anglo-Norman A origin, which soon after the Nor man conquest was established in Rox burghshire and later in Inverness shire, Scotland, where the family founded a small but independent Highland Clan. Their principal seat was Erchless Castle and their chief was known as the Chisholm. There was once a familiar saying in Scot- j land to the effect that there were j but four “Thes” in the Highlands— ‘The Chisholm, The Macintosh, The Devil and The Pope.” The name, however, signifies gravelly island. The first mention of the name was in 1296, when Richard de Chisholme swore allegiance to Edward III, and signed the Ragman's Roll. His son, Sir John de Chisholme, knight, fought with Robert Bruce at the famous Bat tle of Bannockburn in 1314. Chisholms first put in their appear ance in America in New England in 1653, represented by Thomas Chis holme. Later, in 1717, Alexander Chisholm emigrated to the province of Carolina and settled near Charles ton (then Charles Town). The Chis holm plantation, called the Retreat, was headquarters for Sir Richard Lee during the Revolutionary War. (OoDyrlxht. 1935.)

SIDETRACK PLAN HIT BY CITIZENS Chillum Heights Group Is Opposed to Rails Near New York Avenue. Proposals authorizing the Pennsyl vania Railroad Co. to build side tracks near New York avenue northeast were opposed last night by the Chillum Heights Citizens’ Association, meeting In the J. R. Keene School. A bill Is now before Congress au thorizing the railroad to construct an overpass over New York avenue north east to extend and maintain certain industrial side tracks. The association believes construc tion of new tracks would make the cost of bridges over the tracks too high. It was pointed out that civic associa tions have been seeking for several years to obtain bridges over the pres ent tracks to give better transportation facilities to the area east of there. Indorsement was given to the peti tion sent to the Board of Education by the Manor aPrk Citizens' Associa tion recommending that the new high school to be located at Rittenhouse and Fourth streets be named Calvin Coolidge. A resolution supporting efforts of the Washington Central Labor Union to promote vocational training in the public schools and the reclassification of the schools as junior high schools was passed.

Bean and the present general Police Department set-up be retained was re- | ferred to the Fire and Police Protection Committee, to be reported on at the next meeting.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. WE ALWAYS think of the maples as lofty-minded folks and few know the three miniature members of the family. They are to be found in the thick woods and forests where mixed hardwoods grow. Look for them this Summer as you walk through the woods and you will be delighted to make their acquaint ance Usually they are close neighbors to the ground hemlocks and the vibur nums They dwell in the cool shadows and here you may linger and count the many dwellers of this de lightful spot. i The mountain maple rarely reaches i height of 30 feet. In fact, it is a shrub and its trunk is about 8 inches in diameter. Its trunk does not have >tripes, as its neighbor and cousin, the moose maple has. This is another identification point. Besides, its eaves have taper-pointed lobes and [hey are saw-toothed along the mar jins. Swinging from long, strong i stems of bright red, through the entire ! Summer, they bring a bright note into [he dark woods. The flowers are small. They are a j jreenish yellow and have long, narrow j petals. You will find them clustered in racemes, standing straight in the ixlls of the fully grown leave*. »• The fruit hangs from these loca tions in clusters. The small samaras we red all Summer. By Autumn they lave ripened and turned a woodsy irown and the foliage all about them jegins to take on the brilliant colors, ;rue to the maple tradition. The woods will have glorious, bright spots in them now and you will find your little maple, with its robe of bright pellow, scarlet and orange. A trip to your tree, in the Winter, reveals gray, downy twigs, well pro vided with bright Winter buds. No Dther tree has such leaves and fruit u the maple, so you will not have much trouble identifying it. There ire nine maples native to North Amer ica. Two are on the Pacific Coast, 9ve on the Eastern half of the conti ient, one among the Rocky Mountains ind one that grows where it pleases. It is now found that the little maples nake wonderful entrance trees—for orest highways and to estates in the East. They form a fringe with the iazel bushes, ground hemlock and lombeams, asking not for so much lunshine and taking sip little room. :t has been found that these trees >ear transplanting and flourish in ihady spots. Grown from seeds, plac ng the small trees in specially selected llches would take too long to wait ind there are enough little mountain 1 naples to supply the need. (OoDjrlsbii 1835.) A Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. ORDEAL BY MASSAGE. . INTO the E street barber shop came the master and his dog. Which was all right, for the latter was a small, unobtrusive, well-behaved sort of Airedale-ish mongrel, in- , clined to retire to a far corner. But, unfortunately, the gentleman. . his master, was this morning needing a facial massage. Thereby hangs the tale. When that fearful machine, a strange thing with a long neck and only a rubber disc for head, rolled by the pup, he cocked a skeptical eye and placed himself on the “qui vive.” Later, when it began to cry out and sing that odd, almost-human "waouu owoo-mauowoo" sort of a sound, it was too much for the little fellow. He rose straight, his back arched, with every hair along his spine aquiver. He leaped toward the ma chine-on-wheels. nipped and bucked it. Then he broke himself into a pro longed howl, to drown out the noise ; of the monster that was obviously de vouring his master. No use to command and, when the machine, stopped, started over the gentleman's face once more, that 1 weird strain of the rubber suction cup was more than enough. So, in order to get the job done, the porter was detailed to stand outside i and hold the dog in leash by the door until the ordeal by massage was over. I I SERVICE ORDERS ARMY ORDERS.

Will said he would give up trying to >e in New York by 1 if he could fly luring the afternoon. He had no bet ter luck. He tried to get on the planes leaving at 3, 4, 5 and 6 o’clock, and said he would even go as late as 1:30 pm. "Awfully sorry," the traffic manager cold him. “You have done such a vonderful job of boosting air travel you’ve done yourself out of a seat. iVe’re sold out solid all day. Not an extra plane within 500 miles.” So Rogers ga.e up and took a :raln—one of the first rail trips he has nade in years. "Maybe I've done a little too much 'or air travel,” Rogers said ruefully as ie boarded the train. * * * w SPIKE ARRESTERS. TiHE Capitol Building has no real , lightning - arrester equipment.

The women were well Iressed, both this side of 30, daintily ripping along. “Hey, look out, Jack,” shouted the rorkmen, grinning, and holding up i hand for caution to the crane opera or. "Don’t muddy these doll-babies!” And, believe it, the two dear ladies ?ere pleased beyond discretion; they lassed on by the peril, giggling like liss Skinner’s debutante.

BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Use your friends, but don't refuse Your enemies to also use. —Johnny Chuck. FLIP the Terrier, somewhat the worse for wear, had started for home. His nose was very, very sore and he was going on three legs, for one he could not use. And it was all because he had foolishly attacked a young Chuck who was big and strong and tough, as well as young, as Flip had discovered to his own undoing. Now the young Chuck was watching him limp away Suddenly the young Chuck started after Flip, and because ths latter had quite a start the Chuck ran. Johnny Chuck, watching from his doorstep, was puzzled. “Now, what is that fel low up to?” he muttered. “Isn’t he satisfied with having driven that Dog off? He ought to be, but it looks as if he is running after another light.” But the young Chuck wasn't. He was willing and ready to fight if he had to, but he wasn’t looking for a fight. Far from it. He was simply trying to make use of his enemy. He was trying to make use of Flip. You see, when Flip finally quit the young Chuck began to realize that although he had driven off that Dog his own situation wasn’t of the best. First, Reddy Fox and then Flip had HAPPENING TO LOOK BACK, FLIP DISCOVERED THAT HE WAS BEING FOLLOWED. dug Into that burrow, ao that now It was neither a fit nor safe place to sleep in. There was no other place near excepting Johnny Chuck's bur row and with Johnny at home there t wasn’t a chance of gaining possession of that. He suddenly decided that this was no place to stay. It was then that he started after Flip. "If I keep near that Dog it will be safer traveling.” thought he. "If I should start out alone Reddy Fox might happen along and then I would be in for it. But Reddy is afraid of that Dog, small as he is. and while I am near him. Reddy is likely to leave me alone. All I w ant is to reach a place where there are some safe burrows or a stone wall I can get into.” Happening to look back, Flip dis covered that he was being followed. “What's the matter with that fel low? I told him that enough is enough. What’s he chasing after me for?” muttered Flip and sat down to wait. The Chuck stopped a short distance away. He made no attempt to get nearer, but when Flip started on he started also. To Flip it was most an noying. It had all the appearance of a Dog being chased by a Chuck, in stead of the other way around, as is usually the case. Flip stopped again. So did the Chuck. This was repeated several times. All the time Flip was growing more and more puzzled. He wished that that leg that had been bitten was not so stiff. Had he had the use of that, he would have been tempted to try to drive that Chuck back. As it was, there was nothing he could do about it. He felt cha grined, ashamed. Meanwhile the wisdom of the clever young Chuck was being proven. Reddy Fox had been watching from a dis tance the fight at the burrow. He had seen Flip limp away and had at once decided that just as soon as that Dog was out of sight he would go over after that Chuck again. And then, to his surprise and dismay, he had seen the young Chuck start after Flip. At first he was as puzzled as was Flip. Then, being himself a clever one, he began to suspect something of the truth. And there was nothing he could do about It. for he didn’t want trouble with that Dog. So Flip limped homeward across the Green Meadows and behind him traveled the young Chuck, and all who saw It chuckled. At last Flip passed one of Johnny Chuck’s old homes, de serted now. The next time he looked back the Chuck was sitting on the doorstep of that old home. And that was the last Flip saw of him, for the clever young Chuck knew when he was well off and followed no farther. (Ooserlaht. 1836.) t a Many Dinner Parties Given Last Evening Brig.
