OUR MOST HYBRID WORD.

ing Five Language Parents.


ing Five Language Parents.
The most ybrid word in the English
language, according to Professor A f.
Chamberlain of Clarke university,
writing in the Popular Science Month
~, is ''remacadamlzing." Professor
Clarke points out that this word Is de-
rived from five languages-Latin. Gae-
PIC. Hebrew, Greek and English. He
resolves 1t into its factors as follows:
First.-Re. a Latin prefix, signifying
a repetition or doing over again.
Second.-Mac, a Gaelic word for son,
in common use as a prefix for genoa
logical purposes.
Third.-Adam, the representative in
many European languages Of the He
brew name Of the first man, according
to the Mosaic account Of the creation
as given in the book Of Genesis.
Fourth.-Iz Tor ize). the modern Eng
lish representative. through the French,
User Of the Greek verbal terminal izein.
Fifth.-Ing, the English suffix of the
partlciple present, verbal noun. etc.
The root of this word. "macadam,"
illustrates in another way the vitality
of our English speech and its ability
to draw new words into its vocabulary
whenever the need arises. The term
"macadam" Is really the family name
Of the man. John Macadam. who in
1919 devised the now common method
of paving roads with small broken
stones. etc. Celtic and Semitic had al
ready combined to produce macadam.
meaning ''son of ADAM" which the
English language then took UP and
further nodded to suit its genius.
There are many such hybrids. but
this is probably the worst.

a Permanent Cure For
Chronic Constipation

Although those may dispute it who
have not tried it, yet thousands of
ence, assert that there is a permanent
cure for chronic constipation. Some
testify they were cured for as little as
hfty cents, years ago, and that the
trouble never came back on them, while
others admit they took several bottles

DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim sileneer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle.
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice, Hiram Percy
Maxim writes: Our experiments
with the Maxim silencer have deyel.
oped many other interesting cages
For example: II rife equipped
with silencer is fired down q rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there Is a distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
II the rifle Is fired from an open field
with tree or clump of bushes at
say, 200 yards, there is heard a crack
from this ciump of trees. II there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard a crack for each OF them
II, instead of firing parallel with the
ground, the gun is elevated and fred
straight up in the air, we hear no
noise at all, except the fall of the ham
mer and the puff of the gases escap-
ing from the silencer.
THE reason for this is probably as
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that 1t engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious Of
nothing but report noise itself. 1t Is
not until this report noise is annulled
that we can hear the bullet flight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond the gun, can
come back to the shooter only by re-

WILSON A BUSINESS man

Governor Woodrow Wilson may
be pedagogue. He may be a
theoretical politician, but he is
showing himself to be something
more.
He is showing himself 10 be
business man and a good one at
that. He has inaugurated a new
method of campaigning. He has
organized his forces much after
the style the organizers of bank
elect officer and beard of
directors. He has named the
executive chairman and the
secretary IF finances. The chair
man has his assistant. The vice
chairman will control in one
section the chairman in New
York, but all questions upon which
there is rot an unanimous opinion
will be voted upon by the board
of directors.
While holding no Office, other
than that of candidate, Woodrow
Wilson will supervise ever ything
that is done. In other words, he
will manage his own campaign,
assisted by the members of his
directorate and the officers of his
committee.
A man may be a pedagogue and
a theorist and a successful business
man. too. Sometimes the fact
that he is all three is of great
assistance to himself and to the
people among whom he labors.
As governor of New Jersey he
has made record for the admir-
able business administration over
which he has presided. He is q
practical man. He has had bust
ness relations in the past. He has
them at preaent. There is little
about business thai he does not
understand and the important
feature of the democratic camp
align is that he does not depend
more upon others than he DEFENDS
upon himself. He is fitting man
to be the standard bearer of the
party.
There is no living man or
woman who can whisper q word 20
impeach the character Of the man
Those who know him best have t he
sincerest respect for him. They
have no cause for not doing so.
If the administration, after he
is elected, is conducted with the
same systematic sureness as his
campaign the people of the United
States will find ample cause for
congratulation.
1t has been said of Woodrow
Wilson that once in the presi-
Dental chair William j. Bryan will
