Case of Pie Versus Tart.

Usage alone must decide the issue
between pie" and tart" which has
returned to us with the g%ooseberries.
P%hilology. at any rate, draws no clear
distinction. 1t only traces back tart"
to the Latin "tortus," t~wisted-the
pastry being the twisted part, Of
course; while it Is very doubtful about
pie" On the whole, Skeat's c%onjec-
ture hat this expresses the miscella.
neous nature of the contents Is per-
suasive. All the "pies" seem to go
back to the original one, the maybe
I'm Latin, "pica"-from whose black
and white aspect come pied and
~"piebald." The old ordinal or service
book was called "pica" or pie" be-
cause of the appearance of the black
letter type on the white page; and the
edible pie, having equally mixed con-
tents, may have been christened after
this by mediaval humor. Printers

generation Won Trenk inscribed 200

FOOTBALL CASUALTIES
First Season Of "Debrutalized' Game
Shows Decrease In Dead and Hurt.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Eleven dead and
1O4 severely injured is the record OF
the football season of 1906, according
to the resume of the seasons acci-
dents In the Tribune. These figures
are compsr red with the casualties OF
1905, when 10 players were killed and
1859 severely injured, and, according TO
the Tribune, shows that "debrutaliZed'
football has accomplished in a large
degree the object aimed at, in render
ing the game less dangerous to lie
and limb. The decrease in casualties
is especially marked among high
school players. In the season OF 1905
IL eleven high school players were
killed and AZ injured. In the season
Just closed Z were killed and 25 were
badly hurt. All the college and high
school games this year were played
under the new rules drawn after the
close of last season to satisfy the agi-
tation for less dangerous football
aroused by the long list of casualties
in the season of 1905. The value OF
the new rules Is shown in the record
of the big college games. This year
not one fatality has occurred in the
games played by the larger colleges
The Tribune carries interviews with
a number OF college presidents and
coaches, east and west, in which the
opinion Is generally expressed that
the new rules have achieved the elm
nation of much of the brutality and
danger to life and limb that character
ICED the game in former years ant
that. above all, 1t has made the game
safer for high school boys.

That Radium Clock.

The "radium clock" which is guar
anteed to run 1000 years" is interest
ing. Unfortunately the news thus far
communicated to the public concern
ing 1t is too meager to answer even
the natural questions which 1t sug-
gests. Who gave the guarantee? Who
wanted It? How is 1t to be made
good? Does 1t carry with 1t a patent
able application Of the principle OF
perpetual motion? How are the ma
terials of which it is built to be pro
tected against wearing out in much
less time than that which the guar
anty'' covers? Two thousand years Is
a long time. A piece of mechanism
needs to be very well built to keeT
in motion that long and not be con
sumed by friction, however perfectly
balanced and fabricated. The Other

SOAP Bubbles for. Weddings.

Blowing soap bubbles for the de-
velopment Of the lungs of nervous and
anaemic children is a treatment ad-
vised by a Montreal physician, and 1t
has met with remarkable and crafty
ing re sults. The Canadian doctor,
who has devoted himself to obstetrics,
has found in the latter years of his
practice that mothers in the fashion
able world object to crying babies,
and do not hesitate to sanction the
use of opiates by nurses-and the
nurses give full and unqualified ap-
proval-and he recites what is well
known to every physician. that the
baby which is lulled to sleep and not
permitted to howl and yell becomes
deficient in lung power, and after
baby God Is passed is a weakling. He
has undertaken the treatment Of just
this class of children by the simple
but original method of expanding and
contracting the lungs by a pastime
which the sickliest child will take
hold of with little or no persuasion
He has devised a saponaceous mix
ture which will make tough" soar
bubbles, so that in the desire to in
crease the size Of the thin-wallet
globe the little patient will exercise
his or her lungs to the fullest extent
and the simple little trick is working
wonders.

Promised Much for Balloon.

An English newspaper published on
June 10, 1924, contained the following
paragraph: "A DR.. Thornton has pro-
iected a balloon and solicited sub.
scribers at 10 g~uineas $500 each to
p~atronize his scheme. He describes
his new vehicle as having wings and a
tail, worked by a steam engine and
mechanical powers; made to ascend
and descend at pleasure, to travel 100
miles within an hour in any direction
and to carry letters and persons to
any distance" The performance did
not equal the promise.

HOW TO Control A VOICE.
British Officer Says Nature 10 Not
the Sole REGULATOR.

To a recent issue of the British
Medical Journal Major r. F. e. Austin
of Imtarfa, Malta, contributed a paper
or commonly overlooked factors in
vocal mechanism. In which he asserts
that the universal idea that all natur-
ally possess either good, bad or indif.
ferent voices is wrong and contends
that nature is directly responsible for
one and orly one of these conditions,
and that the others must be attri-
buted to mans unconscious departure
from natures laws.
II will be news to many that by
far the greater number do not possess
full control Of the adductor muscles Of
the cords and are therefore unable to
place and keep the cords in the most
appropriate position quickly. The
author asserts that 1t Is surprising
what a number OF professional voice
users, as well as amateurs, fail in this
respect. According to his thinking,
the majority of voices are lost not
from overwork but as a result Of i'm.
proper emission.

The Bachelors of England.

Under our present system u men

grown-up, unmarried daughters, dis
