MAKE A PALlNDROME

What's the best palindrome you

Can you make one yourself?
Do you know what palindrome is?
In England the revival of the palm
drome has set thousands to work, puz-
cling out new arrangements of words
and letters or digging up from the re-
cords of the past these interesting
verbal puzzles. The ancient Romans
delighted in arranging these sentences
whose letters read backward make
the same words as they do read for
ward. The name comes from two
Greek words that means running back
and the English adopted the word as
it is from the French. The Century
Dictionary defines it as "a word, verse
or sentence that reads the same either
from left to right or right to left,"
and gives as an example of those in
English the remark tradition says
Adam made to Eve when he intro
duced himself to his wife in the Gar
den of Eden:
Madam, I'm Adam"
Some From the Old English.
One of the Oldest i'll English is that
from John Taylor:
"Lewd did live & evil / did dwell. !"
But that would not be palinrome
with the modern spelling.

Grafton Upon Vulcan" speaks of the
