TYPIFIES TRIALS OF ISRAEL
iTheOnly Kid" Song-Story In Pass
over Services Believed to Have
That Significance.
Some commentators sny that "The
House That Jack Built" is only n
jingle taken from "Chad Gadyoli" or
"The Only Kid" a nursery doggerel
which later became a Jewish legend
observes the Detroit News. It has
found its way Into the "Ilngodnh" the
Jewish book used the first two nights
of the passover service of the Jewish
people. After the service Is over and
the dinner eaten the father sings
aloud. "The Only Kid" with his chil-
dren following him. Then he trans-
lates it Into English or Yiddish for
those of the family who do not under-
stand Hebrew.
"The Only Kid" tells of n kid eat-
'en by a cat; of n dog which bit the
cat; of a stick that smote the dog;
of a fire that burned the stick. Then
;it tells of water that extinguished the
jfire; of an ox that drank the water;
of a butcher who killed the ox; of the
angel of death who killed the butcher
and finally of God who killed the
nngel. The legend Is supposed to rep-
resent Israel's trials with Israel enst ;
as "The Only Kid" and the butcher
the cat dog fire and the stick as his
tormentors who are In turn killed by
God. -
"The Only Kid" has a swing and lilt
to it resembling "The House Thut Jack
Built5r which "gives rise to the belief
-that the latter Is copied froin it. Some ;
say the Jewish legend is an old Oor
man ballad sprung from a French
song.

Probable Explanation of Why Island
of Great Britain Has Been
Called "Albion."
"Albion" is the oldest name' by
which the-Island of Great Britain wns
known to the Greeks and Unmans.
Great Britain and Ireland were known
by the general tipfiellntinn.nf the Brit-
annic islands while the former was
designated by that particular name of
Albion or Alwinn and the latter by
that of Ierne. Touernhi or Erin. Cae-
sar does not use the word Albion ; his
name for England was Britannia.
Pliny snys: "The name of the Island
was 'Albion' the. whole set of 'Islands
being called Britannic." The word.
'fAIblon". Is. -still the only mime by
which the Gaels of Scotland designate
that country; and the word signifies
In the Gaelic language white Or fair
Island. The word "alb" Itself Is not
now In use in. Gaelic but. Is probably
the same mot that we find in the Lat-
in adjective "al-bus" and In the word
"Alps." The name of Albion was prob-
ably given to England by the Gaels
of (he .opposite coast who could not
fail to be struck by the chalky cliffs
that characterized the nearest part
of Kent. Some authors derive it from
Albion son of Neptune by Abpltrltlte
who according to the fabulous story
went Into Britain established a king-
dom and first Introduced astrology and
the art of building ships. He was. killed
nt'the mouth of the Rhone with stones
thrown bv Jupiter because he op-

The success of this campaign means that Daniel Baker College will be put
upon a strong - foundation with an equipment equal to any institution of like
standing qualified: to make a telling appeal for students from the entire South-
west. "
Men and women should be prepared to make their subscription to the com-
mittee when they are called upon. Do not ask the Commitee to make a second
call. Ihis takes up time and the members of the committee are busy men.
