WHY
Our Voices Show What We
Are Better Than Our Talk
Have you ever listened to your own
voice and judged It by wbat you know
of your own character? Voices show
what we are better than what we say.
It has often been said that for every
face in the world there is—somewhere
—a twin. Hut for the voice—there Is
no duplicate. Your voice Is your
own.
There is the loud voice—what does
it show? Self-confidence, doesn’t It?
And the unmodulated voice? A cer
tain lack of Imagination and Initia
tive, perhaps a phlegmatic or else an
easily discouraged disposition.
A harsh, rasping voice indicates
somebody of spiteful and mean char
acteristics, the fault-finder, the sar
castic and critical person.
Tiie quick, rather high voice usual
ly Indicates a nervous temperament,
impatient and sometimes irritable;
also the person who is somewhat self
satisfied.
The person of loud, slow voice is
usually a person who likes to impress
others, to brag and boast.
The trembling voice usually be
longs to somebody who Is too timid
and self-effacing; sometimes to the
person who is always afraid of life
and who lacks initiative.
Of course, the well-modulated, mu
sical voice, neither too high nor too
low, too loud or too soft, too quick or
too slow, Indicates the sort of person
we all like to think we are—the per
son with well-rounded interesting per
sonality, who has sympathy and char
acter and individuality.
Why Names “John Bull,”
“Uncle Sam” Are Used
The term “John Hull” as a person
ification of the Englishman orig
inated in a satirical book published
by John Arbuthnot in 1712 and called
“The History of John Bull.” The Di
rectory of National Biography states
that It does not seem to be known
whether Ahuthuot originated or only
adopted this nickname. In this book
John Hull is a good-natured, bluff, port
ly, honest, but hot-tempered farmer.
Of the many explanations of the origin
of "Uncle Sam,” the following is the
most usually accepted: In the War of
1S12 a jovial man named Samuel Wil
son was an army meat Inspector, lie
stamped the casks of provisions with
the letters “U. S.” and when asked
the meaning of these letters he an
swered facetiously that they stood for
“Uncle Sam,” Ids own nickname. The
story spread and soon all the army
supplies were known as Uncle Sam’s,
this becoming a nickname for the fed
eral government or for America In gen
eral.
Why Glen Echo Park Wa» Built
Glen Echo Park, near Washington,
D. C., was built between 40 nnd 30
years ago ns a national Chautauqua ed- ;
ucatioual center and conducted as such '
for a number of years. The buildings '
were made of stone found on the place. ;
There was a great amphithenter, hold
ing several thousand, in which was
housed what was supposed to be nt
that time tlie largest pipe organ in the
country. The seats circled about the
great stage, in the hack of which was
the organ. The admin (ration build
ing, facing the street, was said to be
particularly artistic and henutiful and
in it hung a set of chimes that could
be heard for miles across the country.
These were later removed when the
venture failed and the place was
taken over and opened as an amuse
ment park.
Wkv Sunday Elections Are Held
Germany. France and several other
European countries, as well as several
South American countries, hold their
elections on Sunday, both because
business will he less affected by the
necessity of citizens leaving to cast
their votes, nnd because the continen
tal and South American Sunday is
largely a day of relaxation and enjoy
ment rather than a day devoted in its
entirety to religious worship and ob
servance, as was formerly nnd still Is,
to some extent, the practice in the
T'nlted States, Canada and the nations
of the British empire.

THE 61-HOUR WEEK
In these days of shorter work
ing hours and five-day weeks
it may be surprising to learn
that the largest group of work
ers in the country devote an
average of 61 hours a week to
their daily tasks.
This is true, however, accord
ing to a survey by the Bureau
of Home Economics, which
shows that housewives put in
'this number of hours in per
forming their ordinary dalily
labors. The result was arrived
at after studying the records
of more than 2,000 housewives,
including those living in the

Why Radio Log It So Called
The name is taken from the log
book of a ship at sea. The members
of a ship's crew keep a record of the
day's happenings, and the book In
which these happenings are set down
Is known as the ship's log. Rndio op
erators on vessels started such a log
for themselves by beeping a record of
all stations heard. So instead of call
ing the book a directory or reference
book it is known as a log.
Why May Flowers Are Gathered
Since early times in England it was
customary to go out early in the morn
ing of May 1 to "fetch the flowers
fresh.” as Chaucer put it. Hawthorne
branches were carried home about
sunset amid much merry-making. The
name, the may, was given to the hnw
thorne, and the ceremony was called
"bringing home the may."
country, in the small towns and
in the cities.
As might have been expected
it was found that farm women
work longest, town women not
so long, and city women the
shortest hours of all, but even
the latter devote more than 48
hours each week to their house
keeping, on an average.
There are indications that the
labors of housewives are being
gradually lightened, however,
through the wider employment
of electrical and other labor
saving equipment in the home.
In view of the long hours which
they must still give to house
hold tasks, 'they should be af
forded every possible device
for lessening their drudgery.
Every new item of labor
saving equipment installed in
the home tends to preserve the
beauty, conserve the health,
and consequently lengthen the
life of the faithful home
maker. No better investment
can be made by any family.
