Origin Of "paoo.n

The word 'Dago' was originally
given by sailors to Spaniards. Portu-
guese and Italians, in general. There
are several theories as to its deriva-
ton. Probably the most widely &C
cepted is that the word is a corrup-
ton Of the Spanish name Diego, used
as an equivalent of the English Jack
or James. Others believe It to be
purely a corruption or nickname de-
rived from the Spanish word hidalgo,
which came to be applied to any for
eigner from Latin Europe It is now
used chiefly as a nickname for Italian
immigrants In this country.

Horse Not Really lnt.IIInsn..

Horses are generally given credit for
great deal more intelligence than
they actually possess. Scientific tests
show that in wisdom such as human
beings display, horses are hopelessly
outclassed by dogs, monkeys, and even
by cats. The horse can be taught to
DO certain things Just because he is
too stupid to have ideas of his own.
Like many human prize pupils, he can
learn but cannot think.

Commissioners
Wrestle With a
Legal Obstacle

The city commissioners have en-
countered legal obstacle in their pro-
posed opening of Douglas street,
Twenty-fourth street to Twenty-fifth
avenue. Two districts were suggested
and two ordinances introduced, be-
leving in this manner the law might
be circumvented, but City Attorney
Rine holds that such subterfuge will
not hold in court and cited to the
history of the Twenty-second street
case as evidence.
Mr. Rine stated that the city needs
legislation which will enable the coun-
Gil to create a street opening district
and assess special taxes beyond the
present maximum of $4,000.
Under existing laws the proposition
must be submitted to a vote if the
assessment exceeds $50,0Q0
