Crioin Of Vaudeville

Writing to the Kansas City Star con-
corning the origin of the word vau-
deville, Raymond Weeks, professor of
romance languages at Colombia uni
versity. says ''the word is derived
from the Vaux de Wire (the Wales of
Fire), a village in Normandy.
oliver Basselin was a French poet
who resembled Robert Burns and who
lived at Vaux de Wire in the fifteenth
century. He wrote many popular
songs, largely jolly drinking songs.
These spread far beyond the obscure
hamlet where he lived, until, finally,
the name of Vaux de Wire, by which
they were known, not being under
stood. they and similar songs were
called Vaux de Vile. They are men,
toned by Boileau in his Art Poetique.
Early in the eighteenth century in
France, such songs were interspersed
to vary light operettas, which later
were called by their name. The songs
of Basselin in praise of cider and wine
are probably the finest of their sort
in any language.
las for the fact that we have taken
vaudeville from the French, let me
observe that most of our important
terms relating to the theater came
Into English from French"

clearinghouse Suggestion.

In q business women's boarding
home, with 35 to 40 permanent guests,
there was a disposition to form
cliques. This was somewhat due to
the fact that women who sat together
at table day after day became we'll &C.
quainted with each other, while hav-
ing hardly more than a bowling &C.
quaintance with those at other tables.
Then one day the manager an
nounced that, to keep things NOV
Ing" there would be a reallotment of
seats at table the first day of each
month. Some murmurs of disapprov.
al greeted this. but when the first day
came everyone was greatly interested
in seeing what neighbors she had
drawn. The tables were lettered and
the seats numbered, and each guest
drew slip bearing her designated
place.
Meals for days afterward were
much livelier than they had been.
There were new people to talk to.

and we all know of many towns with

Foreign Canned Foodstuffs.

The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce Is about to issue n mono
graph dealing with the foreign trade in
all kinds of canned toodstutfs. The
eonSuls reporting on the subject are for
the most part OF the opinion that
American canned food products are well
able to hold their own in most foreign
markets. Some lines of American
goods are the standard wherever sold.
Canned meats from the United States
have fully recovered the ground lost
at the time the packing house methods
were brought into question in this coun-
try. This is especially true of England,
which has always been the heaviest
buyer of such goods. 1t is said that the
pure-food label now required on canned
goods put up in the United States has
been of such assistance in restoring the
confidence of the foreign consumer in
American canned meats.
California canned fruits are especially
favorably known abroad. Practically
all the competition these fruits meet is
kept alive by the fact that the Ameri-
can product is sold at higher prices
than its rivals. American canned toma-
toes, however, do not seem to be hold
ing their own in competition with the
Italian product. European consumers
claim that there is less liquid and more
meat in the Italian cans and that the
tomatoes are peeled. The American to-
mato may be restored to favor abroad
by recent decision of the American
pure-food board that forbids the add
ton of water and of any more Of the
juice of the tomato than is just neces
sary to process it.
In addition to the reports from the
consuls the monograph contains a chap
ter on foreign purefood laws that re
late to the importation of canned foods
In few countries only are there regu
lations that affect the trade in this class
of goods.

MAKING USE OF WASTE LAND
cosent Thoughts on Subject That 10
Being Forced on the Attention
Of the People.

A genuinely civilized country-eco-
nomically speaking, at least-is one
whose land is divided into small hold
ings, each Of which supports it's own
family. This is the lands final. sta
tionary stage, so to speak-The sort
OF thing one sees, for instance, In the
smiling. truly prosperous provinces
of France. The French lend money
to all the world. They are perhaps
the most prosperous Of peoples. A
country divided into such small self
sufficient holdings is defended In
the strongest way against financial
explosions and shipwrecks. What
ever may be the zest OF cow-punching
or the charm Of the old-fashioned
plantation life. no state can be said
to have reached social maturity when
1t is composed Of large holdings and
it's Inhabitants are dependent on the
financial ups and downs of the few.
The swamp lands of the United
States are particularly good examples
of this sort of backwardness. They
are useful for nothing but timber,
and oftentimes not for that. Anything
more unsocial or desolate than a
southern cypress swamp 1t would be
difficult to imagine. Yet those who
are interested in the tremendously
important question of swamp drain
age often meet with a curious local
opposition, in addition to the obvious
mechanical difficulties and the tangle
of state lines. Owners do not want
to break up their large holdings, even
though the value of the land will be
vastly improved. They have been
big landholders for generations, and
big landholders they wish to remain,
even though much OF their land be
worthless.
1t is a tradition Of prejudice to
which the tendency Of the age Is op-
posed.
However far or near Socialism may
be. there is no doubt that-in a broad
sense Of the word-we are becoming
every day more social. This may
now be a matter of taste. It will
presently be matter of necessity.
People will have to touch one another
whether they like it or not. For there
is less and less elbow room.-Officer's
Weekly.

Made II Diamonds.

Mrs. Percy V. Pennypacker, the new

or. She isn't like certain old-fash.

"A woman of this type was playing

to her, and she made 1t diamonds, but
her hand, on being put down, was
found to contain only two diamonds,
both very low cards.
"What on earth induced you to go
diamonds on such hand as that?' her
partner asked.
It's your fault she answered pet.
ulantly. why did you twiddle your
diamond ring?'"

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Location and natural advantages and
facilities have much to do with the
making of a good town or city, but we
are inclined to believe that the energy
and spirit of its citizens have as much,
If not more, to do with it.
Hundreds of towns have passed to
the commercial "'boneyard just be
cause the people of the place were pc
nurious, easi Y discouraged or dis.
gruntled, pessimistie and lacking in EN-
thusiasm, public spirit and confidence
in themselves, their neighbors and their
town. Lots of people are too willing
to sit down, give up and say, "Oh
HI, this town has no resources, no
support, never will amount to anything
anyway, and is sure going to the dem
milton bow-wows. - And such men
help to send it there. They make this
unworthy belief of their an excuse, to
themselves at least, for declining to
participate in any public enterprise or
movement for the lettering of condi-
tions.
Enthusiasm and enterprise were never
wasted; they are contagious. Hundreds
and thousands of towns have been
made and built up into trade and indus
trial centers of Importance largely by
the enthusiasm, public spirit and enter
prise of their citizens. Enthusiasm
bubbling over, and enterprise un
unquenchable, are what is wanted, and
the more any community has of these
cardinal virtues the better off that
community will be, the greater its pros
perity, the more certain and rapid it.
growth and the less keenly it's periods
of depression will be felt.
1t is the people that make town
or build city. Every one knows of in
stances of towns and cities which
seemed to have excellent natural ad
vantages and opportunities, but which
for some reason or other, failed te
move forward as they should have done
