WHY
Special Weave of Blanket
Makes for Warmth
Blankets, contrary to a popular be
lief, are not heat-producing i.ka u liot
water bottle. 'o blanket ever created
heat. It can merely liuld In body
warmth, and Its heat-retaining quali
ties are brought about by napping.
The warmth value of a blutiket, as
explained In Dupont's Magazine, de
pends more upon its construction than
upon the materials from which It Is
made. Some people believe they would
freeze If they used a cotton blanket
In the winter time. Rut a double-woven
cotton blanket can be superior to a
poorly napped wool blanket to retain
ing heat. ,
For example, take nature's method
of covering an uuiiiial during winter.
Aa cold weather approaches, a thick 1
understating of fur called pelage-
grows close to the animal's body. Mil
lions of air spaces bet ween the tine
hulrs in this undercoatiug hold in the
natural body heat and keep out cold
air. Extra napping on blankets in
sures extra layers of air spaces similar
to those in animals' fur.

she shortened the steps, from which
the dance was named pulka (half).
Received enthusiastically In I'arls, the
word was changed to polka.

Why Dahlias Were First
Imported Into America
Unusual questions are common
place in the mail of the United States
Department of Agriculture. Often the
answers provided by the specialists In
the various bureaus of the depart
ment bring to lijiht facts of a sort
not anticipated In the request fur In
formation. An interesting example occurred re
cently. The editor of an agricultural
paper in the South could not answer
when a subscriber Inquired whether
dahlia roots could ho nori r,.r h,
feed. He passed the question nlns: !
to the press service of the depart- i
ment. The press service could not !
answer. A specialist In the feeding '
of swine had never heard of dahlia :
mots as p. part of n menu for porkers. '
But Mr. David Griffiths, bulb cul- I
ture spodiili.si. was nMo to answer :
the question. It.il.l.a roots have some 1

probably would accept, for Instance a

In any considerable sura, however, the
bank would weigh the gold coins. Gold

gold coin weighed a little light, credit

This Is not necessary In accepting de

Why Known Indians
Ind'iiii Is an adjective originally de
rived from India and was properly ap
plied to the people of that country.
It was transferred to the native peo
ples of America through a geographi
cal and historical mistake. When
Christopher Columbus began his first
journey of explorntlon In 1402 his pur
pose was to sail to India. When two
"ionihs Inter ho sisrhtnd hi mi h I
lleved he had reached that country,
and as a natural consequence he re
ferred to the natives as Indians. Since
that time the misnomer has been an- !
Tlled to the races of the ew world,
wita the esception of the Eskimos.
, Wfcy Coin Ii "Dime"
"Dime" is derived from the Latin
"decern" meaning 10, or "decimus," one
tenth. In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
centuries "dime" was applied In Eng
land to the tithe or tenth part of
one's income paid to the church.
According to the King James version
of the P.lble, the last part of Genesis
14:20 reads, "ne gave him tithes of
all." John Wycllf translated this pas
sage, "He gave him dymes of alle
thlngls." The American 10-cent piece
was called a dime because It repre
sents the tenth part of a dollar, the
national monetary unit.

Carteret woodland owners was about
