Name Was a Mistake.

The island of Luzon, the principal
one OF the Philippine group. owes its
name to a mistake Of Interpretation
on the part Of the early Spanish dis
coverers, according to Mr. Kaloa, sec
rotary Of the Philippine commissioner
at Washington. There seems to have
been no name applied to the whole
island, as such, by the natives; each
tribe. such as the Tagalog, the Iloka-
nos and others, designated only their
own particular territory.
"Luson" is a word in the Tagalog
dialect, and means a mortar, such as
was used by the natives to pound up
their rice. The Spanish discoveries
Of the island, who sailed, not from
Spain, but Mexico, first encountered
the natives squatting before their NOR
tars, pounding out their dinners. By
signs the Spaniards attempted to ask
them the name of the country. The
natives, however, mistook their ges-
lures for inquiries as to the name of
the utensil they were busted with,
and answered "Luzon," a name that
has chung to the island ever since.

MANY USES FOR INDIAN CORN
to Rice, Most important of
Worlds Foods.

Next to rice. this grass is the most
important food plant in the world, be-
sides serving in a thousand other i'm
portant ways the needs of man. 1t is
native to America. having been cult
waited in the western hemisphere since
prehistoric times. The name maize we
use for it is derived from the word
Mahiz, the name the old Haitiens en-
ployed and which Columbus adopted
when he discovered America. When
the white settlers came to the United
States they found the Indians Guilt
waiting it, and quickly learned from
them its great value. Several of the
old Indian names for certain prepare
tons still remain and are incorpor-
ated in the language of the American
people. such IS samp, hominy and
succotash. Strangely, as human food,
the Indian corn is practically unknown
outside of America.
Among its manifold uses, outside OF
food value, are the following: The oil
extracted from the kernel is used for
Jul AoSih6 anu pursuing OiiSiOlh anu
linoleum, and the cake left after the
oil has been extracted is fed to sheep.
Glucose from this plant, sugary
white liquid. is used by confectioners
in great quantities Cornstarch. when
not used for chocolate buildings. is
licked by US when We put a stamp to
the envelope. Maize is also a growing
source for denatured alcohol used for
heating and lighting. Corn stalks WOW
en- into strong belts are used on all
large vessels at the br:lkheads for pro-
lection. Our most dangerous explo-
sive, gun cotton and smokeless pow
der. rely for their manufacture on the
Indian corn. A poor quality Of mo-
lasses is furnished by the stems, paper
by the stalks, and stalks and stems
are used as fodder for farm stock.

Plated Skirt In Parja

In Paris it is a case of the plated
skirt and yet again the plated skirt.
Those who have been taking SO much
trouble over the inartistic silt up"
dresses might Just as we'll have sat
still and waited. For Paris herself
has settled this vexed question.
Finely plated underskirts are now
worn with all sorts OF draped dresses,
and it matters very little whether the
latter are silt up" or merely draped
up" This new outline is entirely
satisfactory. 1t will satisfy persons
Of artistic tastes who delight in things
purely feminine. 1t will also please
those who demand that women's
clothes shall be thoroughly practical.
The plated skirt - accordion or
otherwise-is easily made and mex
pensive. and the same underskirt can
be made to accompany several draped
over dresses.

LITTLE BUT ACTIVE BRAIN

With the following story Margar.

adroitness is congenital in women:
On Saturday Margaret, aged four,
was in deep disgrace. Four times
since two o'clock she had run away
to visit Mrs. Gilbert, her favorite
neighbor, and was now paying for her
crime by detention in the house.
At five her father returned and sat
on the porch reading his evening pa
per. To him, in a few minutes, Mar
garet sauntered out, her mind intent
on carrying out her plans, and short
ly suggested:
Daddy, let's play you are the baby,
and / am the mother"
Daddy agreed on condition that II
must be very little baby and one
that would not be expected to move.
Thereupon Margaret, after a silence
in which one could hear her brain
currents crackle, said: Now, Honey,
you are to be a good little baby and
don't run away. while Mothers for a
