friendship will warrant in deciding
this for me. I ask you 10 lay aside
your friendship and tell me from

Variations of the name Hamer are Hay
mer Hammer, Hamerton, Hamerling, and
Hamersley.
The derivation may be from the Anglo
Saxon word ham. meaning home. which
forms part of many old names of locali-
ties. One variation of ham Is hama.
The old German for home is hame
helm is modern German. Hahn Is an
old French word meaning the same thing.
Haimes Is Gothic. A name found in
seventh century records was Haimo. also
spelled Aymo. In the eleventh century
We find in England the name Haynes,
, from which Aymes and Ames are de-
rived.
Heimard and Aimard are also found in
old records as family names. Through a
process of evolution, Hamer may be de-
rived from these names, and, in the first
place. from the Anglo-Saxon ham. An
other theory advanced by authorities Is
that hari Is the root. This is n Morse
word, meaning hero. and from which

Sikh National Weapon,

The Sikhs can certainly claim to
possess the most unique form of weap-
on of any military unit in the cam.
paign. This is a hand-throwing mis-
sile, composed of metal similar in
shape to the discus with which we
have been made familiar in Roman
history. Its edge Is sharpened like a
razor, and the weapon, when thrown
with a peculiar circular motion, has
extraordinary penetrating power. 1t
cuts like a knife through paper when
1t strikes any object in its path. At
a distance of hundred yards the disk
Is capable Of cutting its way through
a piece of hard wood two inches thick.
1t is the peculiar twist given to the
weapon when it. is thrown which
causes the cutting edge to bury itself
so r~emorselessly in anything that it
meets. 1t is doubtful whether any
but the. Sikhs could effectively use
this unique weapon.
