ORIGIN OF "FAN."
}: 3: :: :: :: :: :: ;: ;. /. u - :: -

Fan, as all red-blooded Americans
know, is the bit OF slang which de-
notes the baseball enthusiast. The
derivation OF this word, which ap-
pears about jO.000,000 times each year
on the sporting pages of American
newspapers, is in doubt. A sort of in
yestieation OF the parentage of the
word has been started and a num-
ber of people have offered eXpana-
tions.
1t has been thought-and great
many anti-baseball folk agree in the
view-that fan is an abbreviation of
fanatic. There are many, however,
who stoutly contend that the word
has another source. A Dorchester,
Mass, man says, for instance:
ITO say We are fans because of fa-
natics is too clumsy a word, and an
noys us Look at a baseball crowd
arising from lethargy to excitement;
see the arms and forms unfold into
bedlam, and You see a fan of humans
spreading over the vista of the stands.
That sight would explain the term
better"
1t has also been suggested that the
word comes from the action of a bat
ter who fans the air instead of hit
ting the ball. The crowd on the
bleachers tries to rattle him, confuse
him. and therefore those who cause
him to fan are called fans.

FLYING TESTS FOR BERLIN
Atrships Will Start and End Summer
Competition at German Capital
Limited to Germans.

Berlin.-A great flying competition,
limited to German aviators, will take
place early in the summer. The flight
will be over circuitous course be-
ginning and ending in Berlin and will
include Magdeburg, Hamburg, Bremen
Dusseldorf and Dessau. The decision
to hold the contest is the result of the
failure of plans for a joint competi.
ton by French and German flyers.
caused by the objections of the chau-
vinists.
Withdrawal of the French aviators
aroused much bitterness in Germany
and the officials of the Aviation Engi.
neers' Verein, who are in charge of
the preparations, are on their mettle
to make the Independent competition
brilliant success. The contest has
unique interest from the fact that
special attention will be paid to the
military phase of aviation. 1t is pro.
posed to offer a special prize for ma.
chimes carrying two passengers, so as
to admit of their taking military OBJ.

TRAIN LOSES ITS WHISTLE
Odd Incident That 10 Believed to Mark
q Record, at Least on This Par
tIcular Line.

1t occurred one day recently, and
the passengers on the Big Sandy train
are smiling yet when they think Of
the oldest incident that has happened
on that branch of the Chesapeake &
Ohio in years. The train bound for
Ashland lost it's whistle while still
many miles up the valley, and was
forced to stop and back up almost the
entire distance, looking for that whis-
tie, which was eventually found miles
away from where it was missed. The
loss delayed the train five hours It
was due at Catlettsburg at five o'clock
In the evening, but didn't reach that
point until ten o'clock that night.
Trains have been known to lose their
swftchmen, their cabooses and some
times whole cut of cars, but never
before has a Big Sandy train been
known to lose it's whistle Under the
law, train may not operate without
a whistle, and it was this fact that
caused the conductor of this trains to
run back over many miles of track
to locate the lost object.-Pikesville
Advocate.

FRENCH METHODS Of COOKING
These Two Ideas II Serving Potatoes
May 30 Of Interest to American
Housewives. =

Pommes Naturalization family
Of four boil six good-sized white pota-
toes; peel and cut them into quarters;
put them in porcelain-lined pan with
a tablespoonful of butter and a pinch
Of finely chopped parsley; season with
salt and white pepper and warm them
thoroughly without browning. Serve
on hot dish.
Potato Quennel1es or Croquettes.-
Peel, wash and drain six medium-sized
mealy potatoes; cut them in quarters.
put them in a saucepan, cover them
with water, add little salt, cook for
30 minutes and drain. Then beat the
potatoes up in bowl or mortar with
an ounce Of fresh butter, and when
they are well mashed add the yolks of
three eggs. Season with salt, pepper
and a tiny bit of grated nutmeg; mix
all well and then divide into IL or
more parts, shaping each round, or like
cork. Dip the croquettes separately
into raw beaten egg; roll in finely
powdered bread crumbs, and fry a
golden color in boiling olive oil for
three or more minutes. Serve on a
folded napkin with mashed sprigs Of
parsley alongside.

USEFUL HINTS FOR THE. COOK
Small Things, but They Mean Much
In the Preparation Of Really
Successful Meal.

When cooking eggs always break
them separately in cup, for one bad
egg will spoil all that have been
broken before. For poaching or fry
Ing, 1t is better to break them singly
In a saucer. from which they can be
easily slipped into the pan without
breaking the yolk.
A tablespoon of vinegar, and
little salt should be added to each
pint of boiling water used for poach-
ing eggs.
There is much nourishment, also
medicinal properties, in fish, and as a
rule it is cheaper than meat. If fresh
fish cannot be obtained, salt fish, If
properly cooked, Is quite as nutritious
Too much cannot be said about the
nutrittve qualities Of cornmeal, which
ought to be used more than it is In
every household.
Dried peas and beans also rank
high among the cheapest and most
nutritious foods. Beans that are old
require longer soaking than lest rear's
crop. Never fail to add & little salt
In tho water In which they arc put to
sock.
