The Word "Yankee."

The origin of the word Yankee"
has been variously explained. Some
authorities think it is a corruption Of
the word English, as it was pro-
nounced by the American Indians who
called the white people "Yenghies.
1t seems first to have been applied to
the British soldiers about ITS, as a
term of reproach to the New England
ers who afterwards adopted it them
selves
Others hold that Yankee is a cor
ruption OF Jankin, or John, nick
name given to the English colonists
of Connecticut by the Dutch settlers
of New York. The Song, yankee
Doodle" was originally "Nankee
Doodle" and was applied to Oliver
Cromwell.

accounting. He said that unless
separate account were kept for each
project each bond issue. etc. that the
city would lose thousands Of dollars.
This was illustrated by the case of a
property owner who might, after two
years decide to pay up his entire as
sessment should the interest thus on
ticipated be $50 enough bonds should
be recalled to cover that amount. But
in Gary and many other cities this has
not been done and thousands OF dollars
have been lost to the cities as they
were obliged to pay II out of the muni-
cipal treasury.
The state accounting chief said that
the comptroller of Gary should know at
the end OF each day the city's financial
standing just as a bank president
knows the conditions Of his institution
Adequate accounting facilities should
be provided.
"The city Of Gary should know the
cost per unit of its sewerage disposal
operations and the cost as compared
with other cities. This viii take good
accounting" he stated.

sheriffs Of this county today were trail
ing the five men who blew the safe of
the. Medaryville bank last Thursday
morning and escaped with $1,000. but
were unable to locate the robbers. The
officers found that the men went north
on a Monon hand car to Wilders. where
they dumped the hand car in the river
and probably went to Otis on a freight
train. Five strangers were seen in
Otis on the day Of the robbery. They
started northward across the fields and
presumably came TO this city as the
officers today found IN a vacant house
two miles south OF here a polka DOT
handkerchief with diagonal corners
tied and a half of a handkerchief with
a string attached to fit the back of the
head. which fitted the half OF a hand
kerchief that was found at Medaryville
on the morning Of the robbery. The
police Of this city are searching for
other clews.

DEHOR|TY
POINTS OUT
PITFALLS

In lieu OF a business session last
night the common council of Gary list
ened to a lecture by william Dehority,
chief of the Indiana state board of ac-
counts. who pointed out pitfalls that
beset the city as the result Of lax ac-
counting.
Gary To BE Advanced.
The state official also made it known
that the state government recognized
the rapid growth Of Gary and that the
city by legislative act was confined in
the fourth class whereas its business
and population fully entitled it to sec
ond class rank.
He suggested relief, which under the
law cannot como until 1920. by appeal
ing TO the next legislature. And he
further stated that the state board OF
accounts fully appreeiatng the situa
tion at Gary, was ready TO show figures

ernmental functions of Gary should be

Woodrow Wilson adherents, who com
prise possibly one-fourth the member
ship, the others being divided between
Underwood and Clark, possibly one
fourth Clark, and a half for Under
wood. The Wilson folks wanted the
professor" included as a genuine
southern man." The others would not
have it so, then the Wilsonites began
putting up a scrap against the reso-
luton, and when the hour to hear ex-
Governor Gillette, of California, ar
rived, he having been previously in
vited to address a joint session, the
entrance of the senate for the session
broke up the discussion and saved the
Wilson adherents from being steam
rollered. All sides united in postpon.

some future time.
