USED BY THE scANDINAvlANs
Nautical Terms Common Today Are
Easily Traced to the Days of
the Old Vikings.


When we say a snip is bound for
certain port .. homeward bound, we
are using, not the past particle, as
we might think. of the English verb to
bind, but of a Scandinavian word
meaning to prepare, TO get ready--a
word which in the form OF ''boun" still
lives on in northern dialects.
"Billow" is probably scandinavian
word which survived In one of the
northern or eastern dialects, which
still preserve so many Danish words.
It made its way into southern English
in literary standing by its use by
Spenser and Shakespeare.
Wake" for the track of a chip is
another Scandinavian word preserved
in dialect. Its original meaning. as
Professor Skeat tells us, was that of
an opening in the ice, especially the
passage cut for ship in frozen lake
or sea, and then. from being applied
to the smooth watery track left by the
ship after its passage through the ice,
II came to be used when there was no
ice at ALL This useful word is one of
the nautical terms which the French
have borrowed from the English. al
though It is not easy TO recognize it at
first in its French form of ouaiche, AMI
il is still used on the Norfolk broads
with its original meaning of an open
place in the ice.-English Review.

STRONGEST TRAIT IN NATURE
Motherhood Most Highly Developed
Among the Creatures of the
Lower Creation.

The contention that the hen Is the
most compassionate thing in creation
is strikingly illustrated by a case of
motherhood in nature related in Coun-
try Life A correspondent tells how
In a farmyard we're two puppies for
whom the mother had no affection. 80
an old hen took pity on them. and
when she went to roost they followed
her. Suuatting in a corner of a cart
shed, she lifted a wing and the two
youngsters crawled under for the
night. her chicks clumbering on the
backs Of the puppies.
As a proof Of how strongly mother
hood is developed in the lower crea.
tion, two incidents occurred recently.
cat. having carried away young
crow from its nest, was attacked by
six older birds and killed. The other
incident was where hen blackbird
held at bay cat. The cat hid behind
some bushes. and not three yards in
front Of the bush the bird stood cluck
ing most Indignantly. The cat lay
quiet for time, the bird still holding
It's ground. When it quieted down
somewhat, the cat crouched forward
as II to spring, but the bird set up
again defiant clucklng and the cat
withdrew This lasted for 20 minutes
until the cat was removed into the
house.

FEWER AND BETTER LAw-MAK-
ERs.

IN his book Politicians. Party and
People, Prof Henry c. Emery calls
attention to the dangers Of snap iegis-
lation and by inference he makes
good argument for fewer and better
law-makers It is certain that ths
dangers to which Prof Emery refers
would be Iessencd If our legislatures
were composed Of a small number Of
thoroughly qualified men, equipped
Tor the careful consideration Of all
questions and capable Of foreseeing
the far-reaching effects Of their acts.
The problem Of securing more eific-
iency 10 legislative bodies IS one that
is being more seriously considered
every day ana the voters must in the
near future be called upon to deal with
Il The passage in Prof Emery 5
book 10 which we refer is ss follows
Many acts have been passed BY
legislative bodies to accomplish
worthy obqlects. and have been sup
ported with the best intentions. which
have. howssss. resulted in bringing
about results exactly the opposite O
those intended by their supporters
In some cases this would have beei
avoided By more careful reasoning
IN other cases il could have been
avoided BY a more careful study d

USE NIGHT STICK
ON GUNMEN
Cases Against Gangsters Are Being
Pushed as Rapidly az
Possible.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.--Determina-
ton Of the New York courts that the
law shall work with the night stick
to crush out OF existence the desper-
ate gunner OF the east side was evil
dent today when Judge Dixie, Of the
county court received an indictment
of Giuseppi Mardinda who yesterday
shot and killed Policeman Edward
Murtha and ordered his trial to COM
mence next Wednesday,
Mardinda, sullen and ferocious, still
denied. when arraigned, that he had
killed Murtha but an attorney was at
once named for his defense by the
court and Judge Dixie expressed the
hope that his trial before Judge
Crane will be pushed with all speed
as a warning to the gangsters.
Necessity for the courts action
was seen again early today when
crank Palazzo, butcher, was shot to
death in Williamsburg. Only two
persons saw the gunmen's work A
pair OF the killers, these on-lookers
told the police, met Palazzo as he
walked head down in the rain from
his home and eight children to open
the shop for the day. Meeting the
victim, the gunner without word
nred five shots. One pierced Palaz-
zo's heart, one scared his cheek, and
before his body lurched to the pave
ment, he was corpse The gunner
fled around the corner, while Will
liam Droon and Harry Fem, the
witnesses shouted fer the police. No
trace of the killers was found. One
policeman today saved himself from
the same fate by prompt use Of his
night stick. PatroIman Schultz, at
tempting to arrest Frank Fernando,
an Italian, kept his club ready In his
right hand while he "risked" Fer.
rand with his left. just as the
Italians jammed gun against the
! policeman's stomach the night
stick fell
