FIFTH WARL GOLD AND GREEN BALL WINS PRAISE AH those who attended' the Fifth Ward M. I. A. Gold and Green Ball Tuesday evening proclaimed it one of the most charming affairs that has ever been held In Lehi before. From beginning to end It was a great success and the clever decorative deco-rative scheme; together with the queen and the royal party and the contest dancers were very effective, causing many favorable comments from spectators. A valentine idea predominated in the hall decorations, red hearts being be-ing effectively arranged, with a centerpiece of tiny hearts. Miss Marie Phillips, the queen, was ex quisite in a gown of white satin- She was attended by a page, Allen Chipman, dressed in blue and two charming little flower girls, June Erickson and Ila Wing. They were dressed in green crepe de chine trimmed with gold hearts and each carried baskets of sweet peas. Warren Coates was the queen's attendant. The contest dancers followed the entrance of the royal party and demonstrated the M. I. A. contest dance. The dancers were Miss Roberta Ball and Von Adamson, Ruth Broadbent and Louis Phillips, Cleo Royle and Keith Lott, Delia Priesthood-Relief Society Union Meeting Sunday Tho regular monthly union meeting meet-ing for the Relief Society, Priesthood Priest-hood and Primary workers of Lehi Stake will be held Sunday, Feb. 14 at i p. m- Dr. Lowry Nelson from the B.

It was this new and united France which Villon Vil-lon sang la his bluzlngly patriotic poems. It Is to Villon, too, that the lat ter time owes Us most vivid ac counts of life In the Paris of the Fifteenth century. From the un lighted streets, wolf ridden and un guarded In the crudest storms of winter, from the foul sinks of vice where half the brigands and beg gars of Europe foregathered, from the Rive Gauche, ruled over by Jennat de Halnnonvllle and Aris totle, from the shrine of the Church of the Celestines and the Innumerable Innumer-able belfries of the city, from dun geon and brothel, gallows place and kennel, from wherever there was life, movement and vital impulse, Villon drew material for his documents docu-ments of perfervld realism, the dry point etchings of a half forgotten age. -Boston Herald.

Experiments for making artlflclnl Ice were started by the Italians In the Sixteenth century. The first machine used was Invented Invent-ed by Dr. William Cullen (1710- 1790), a Scotch physicist and physi cian, whose machine was based on the vacuum principle, the atmospheric at-mospheric pressure being reduced by means of an air pump. In 1831 Jacob Perkins, an American engineer en-gineer living in London, obtained a patent for a machine generally credited cred-ited with being Hie forerunner of the modern compressor machine. Many experiments were later made by French and German Inventors. Prof. A. C Twining of New Haven, Conn., made many Improvements on lee-niak!ng apparatus in 1S30, 1853 and iar5. In 1857 Dr. John Gor-rle Gor-rle of Apalachlcola, Fla., patented an lce-maklng machine and as a tribute to his Incentive genius the state selected him as one of her two distinguished sons to represent her In the Capitol at Washington.

Inven-tion. Ills widow wag left penniless. penni-less. Goebel, old and poor at his death, first exhibited his tank In 1913, when It climbed a 50 per cent grade amid the applause of high Imperial Im-perial officers. He maintained to the last that failure of the kaiser's officers to recognize the Importance of the tank caused Germany's defeat de-feat In the war. The tank was one of a long list of Goebel's Inventions, Inven-tions, ranging over the fields of aviation, shipping, electricity and warfare. Wolvea in Russia Take Heavy Toll of Animal Thongh tales of timber woKes chasing and attacking human beings are branded as fabrications, the European Eu-ropean and Arctic cousins of the American species frequently are guilty. Donald B, McMillan, the explorer, explor-er, says that the white wolves of the Arctic have been known to track down- and kill Eskimos. He cited an Instance recently when a man was borne down and devoured by wolves on bis way home from a sealing expedition. In Russia, where wolves travel In large and ferocious packs In the winter, there are many Instances, where peasants have been devoured. Sometimes a whole family, Journeying Jour-neying across the plains in a sleigh, Is killed and eaten by the beasts after the horses have been pulled down. Tules of desperate tights are common. In Russia 82,000 horses, 60,000 cattle and 25,000 other unlninls were devoured by wolves In '11)24. The Russian wolf Is very much like the American timber wolf, except for color and markings, and sometime) weighs 100 pounds. The greatest human toll by a wolf was taken near (levudan, France, In 1705. If the story Is correct, 80 people were devoured that year by an animal of great size and during which Invaded streets at night In the bunt for victims. Chinese a Laundrymen In the dirj-g of the California gold rush everybody was so busy digging dig-ging for gold that the homelier household chores .were neglected. With? gold beckoning, no one was willing to work at plain Jobs. There was no land communication with the East, but ships were constantly plying to China. The forty-nlnerg acquired the habit of sending their washing to China, getting it back In two or three months. This showed the Chinese that there was a business busi-ness opportunity In this country. Plato's Prayer The prayer by I'lato used In the funeral services of Senator Morrow Mor-row Is as follows: "Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty In the Inward In-ward soul, and may the outward and the Inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as a temperate man and he only can bear and carry. Anything more? The prayer, I think, Is enough for me." Blind Poet Remembered Two hundred years ago the following fol-lowing Interesting Hum appeared In London Notes and Queries: "Several "Sev-eral Gentlemen of Diftlnction who were lntlmntely acquainted with the late celebrated Mr. Milton the Poet, are about ralftng a Contribution for erecting a ftately Monument In Weftmlnfter-Abbey, In Token of Memory to fo great a Man; It's fl1 It Is to be perform'd !y Mr. HIs-hrack, HIs-hrack, who has made the cholceft Monuments la that Cathedral, and truly deferves the Rank of Chief of the Modern Artlfts In the like Performances. , . k "Dime" From the Latla "Dime" Is derived from the Lntlr "decem, meaning 10, or "declruua one-tenth, explains Pathfinder Magazine. Mag-azine. In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Fif-teenth centuries "dime" was applied ap-plied la England to the tithe or tenth part of one's Income paid to the church. According to the King James version of the Bible, the last part of Genesis 14:20 reads: "He gave hlrn tithes of all." John VVycllf translated this paBsage,-IIe gave hlra! dyme of alle thlngls." The American 10-eent piece was called a dime because It represents the tenth part of a dollar, the national na-tional monetary nnit. 4 Trapped Muikrate The story about the muskrat gnawing off Its leg to escape from a trap Is only partially true, trappers trap-pers say, The fur bearer does not chew through the leg bone with Its chisel-like teeth as Is universally believed, but merely severs the flesh after the bone Is broken by Its floundering and struggles. Scores of three-legged and even two-legged muskrnts are trapped every year. The stumps have healed perfectly, due to the cleansing action of the water. The front legs are the members mem-bers most often missing. How Negrito?
