Lo0NEY MEANS MOONEY
Primitive People Have Habit OF Carry
ing an Umbrella at Night to Keep
From Getting Ii.

when John Armstrong Chaloper es-
capped from New York insane asylum
and telegraphed his relatives the per-
tinent question: "Who's looney now?'
he merely gave c.rrency to a word
and connotatioa that are much older
than cur language. Luna" is the
Latin word for moon, and "luIacy,"
which is derived from 'luna," has
been attributed to the baneful effect
of the moons rays since very early
times. Just as night air is thought
by primitive people to cause iii health,
so the light of the moon is believed
to derange the mind. A strict defini.
ton of the word climatic" is moon.
struck"
In some Latin-American countries,
notably Haiti, the natives often may
be seen carrying umbrellas about with
them at night, during the light of the
moon, to safeguard their mentality.
The Romans had q goddess called
Luna. There is good English word,
'1unambulisnl," which means "som-
nambulism attributed TO the influence
of the moon" So "looney" only means
"moorey," another way of saying "be-
reft of reason on account of exposure
to light rays reflected from the sun by
q dead satellite" If you insist upon
exaetness.

Athletic Sports

Athletics and soldering go hand In
hand. A good athlete generally makes
good soldier. AS far as we are con-
cerned, the more athletics the merrier,' >
says an army officer.
sour country should do everything to
encourage rough manly sports. Away
with the tango palaces and such places.
On with every kind of rough sport that
is going to help make the youths and
men Of the nation physically fit to I'M
dergo whatever duties may confront
them!
1--WE not only want athletics outside
the army, but we want athletics inside
the army as part of the military cur
riculum. Athletic games and sports
should be features in every training
camp, and for that matter not only run
ming, jumping, throwing the weights,
swimming, etc., but also boxing and
wrestling. All such sports make for
better physical development. encourage
self reliance and breed confidence. A
man in good physical condition will
shoot better, march longer and with
stand the .rigors Of campaigning better
than his soft and fabby brother. =

For lnvaIids,

A raw egg is one of the most nutri-
tious of foods, and may be taken cas-
lily if the yolk is not broken. A little
nutmeg grated upon the egg, a few
drops of lemon juice added, some chop
ped parsley sprinkled over it, or some
salt and dash of cayenne pepper will
vary the flavor and make it more
palatable when taken as medicine.
In case of intestinal troubles, a partly
beaten raw egg, taken at one swallow
is recommended. 1t is healing to the
inflamed stomach and intestines and
relieves the feeling of distress. Doc
tors say that four eggs taken in this
manner In "a hours will furnish the
best kind of nourisiment as we'll az

Mamma Submarines.

Every one knows what submarines
are and what an important factor they
have become in modern naval warfare.
Their nomenclature is rather interest
ing, according to the Popular Science
Monthly. In the United States navy
the first of these crafts were named
for various kinds of fish and reptiles,
and we had such odd cognomens as
Adder. Moccasin, Pike, Sturgeon,
Shark, Carp, Haddock, ETC., on the
naval lists. Before this list Of pisca-
torial names ran out the system was
changed, and designations of Al, Az,
b., B-2, etc., down to the more recent
submarines known as the o class. In
general the numbers applied CORE
spond to the particular lot in which
they were constructed, and the letters
closely follow the number of years
since they were first built. In Ger
many they are all known as boats
the U being the first letter of unter-
seeboot, meaning submarine.

was that designers and builders were
unable to find much that would be Of
value to them in the present case.
