Too Hot for Whisky -

said an army officer yesterday
in telling of the effects of torrid wealth
er ON the soldiers sent out from this
country to the Philippines.
"It seems curious how nature pro-
vides against the use of red liquor in
the parts of the world where the sur
shines straight down, but it is a fact
that as soon as the person from North
ern climes get down near the equator
he loses his appetite for ordinary
booze. Some old topers cannot under
stand the fact that their interiors re-

seems to lack the twang and snap SO

well and taken on a hot day. The
liquors of the tropics are gin mixed
with bitters. making a drink that looks
like rye whisky, rum, which is sold
everywhere, in the hot country. and
brandy and soda. The native liquors
are well enough when a person has

''The red liquor is about as bad as

WHAT CHAUFFEUR MEANS

%HE newest dictionary adds I'ooo
hitherto unaceepted words to the
i English language, having euled
this number from list Of 100000
submitted for acceptance. Among the
accepted ones are number that owe
their existence to the automobile, and
their insertion IN the dictionary is an
acknowledgment on the part OF the
dictionary compilers that the motor car
has enriched our language. Most of the
new automobile words are already in
common use, but many of them are not
yet given their correct application.
The word that has proved a particular
stumbling block IS chauffeur" adopted
from the French and meaning in the
original 'stoker." A "stoker' is defined
in our dictionaries as "one who applies
fuel 70 a furnace" and as this does not
accurately represent the meaning OF the
word chauffeur" the acceptance of
chauffeur as a distinctive word has
become imperative. Yet while "chauf-
feur" does not 10 US mean ''stolxer. il
bears a close relation to engineer. 2"
meaning a locomotive engineer aud is
the title of that employed expert who
