Mr. Shetron, representative Of the

Highway Committee gave Mr.. Shet-
ron permission 70 make the demon

"A special representative OF the
Company will have charge OF the
decentralization, one who has studied
the subject and knows how 1t ought
to be done. The stfSets are usually
first cleaned or swept and then the

streets are not as much disturbed BY

lasts the streets can be said 70 be
dustless.
The material for the demonstration
is already ou the ground, GO barrels
OF the oil having been received by
the Reading railroad last week and
the demonstrators may be expected at
any early date. IL is usual TO let
the oil street set for al least thirty

A Bit of Slang History.

Captain Henry G. Lyon, U. S. A.,
was the innocent cause Of the now
popular expression about making a
noise like" this or that, says the
Army and Navy Journal. At Peek
skill, in 1905. he gave instruction to
officers Of the New York National
Guard doing duty in that tour Of the
camp. The first day he formed the
officers into a class In the big mess
hall, which was open at the sides, so
that all that went on inside was seen
and heard by the enlisted men passing
back and forth. In teaching the off,
GERS how to give the commands, Capt.
Lyon impressed upon the class the
necessity Of clear enunciation and Of
making commands like an officer, say
ing Arms" not ''umps," etc. The pri-
Yates capacity for turning things to
their own amusement was shown a
few minutes after that first class was
dismissed, for officers going through
their company streets heard privales
in front Of group Of men shouting
out: Make a noise like an officer"
whereupon the entire "class" would
roar Jumps" A reporter sent an ac-
count to a New York paper, and from
this grew expressions such as Make
a noise like hoop and roll away" etc.
However, it Is seldom one hears the
word "arms'' or march" the voice
finding it much easier to slur the word
till it may mean anything, and as the
preparatory command indicates what is
to be done, the command following is
merely a signal for the execution Of
what has already been specified.
