Memphis Supports Tulsa.
Coming by the way of Memphis, the
Oklahoma delegates received the
pledge of many southern camps and
every member of the Memphis asso-
citation arrived wearing a Tulsa badge,
pledged to support that town.
So far no opposition to Tulsa has
developed and no other place is con-

SPEAKER CLARK STRONG
|. FOR SOLDIER INSURANCE

Tremendous applause swept over the
House floor and through the galleries
today when Speaker Clark in brief
speech defended the soldiers and sailors.
insurance bill as the best measure
brought before Congress since the dec
laration of war.
Singing out the various objections
to the bill, the Speaker urged that
they be brushed aside as inconse-
ouential in comparison with the great
aid and comfort that enactment of the
measure would bring to the American
troops abroad. He was particularly
vigorous in assailing the argument
that the bill would cost too much
money.
Going in Hole, Anyhow.
"One of the objections to this bill.'
he said. sis that the government is
liable to find itself in the hole as a
result of it. I don't know whether 1t
will put the government in the hole
or not. and l am not very much exer-
cised about that. We are going in the
hole anyhow.
'I am in favor of making the SOL
diers that go to Europe as comfortable
as possible. both physically and men
tally. / don't want them to have to
worry about their families back home.
If they are willing to risk their lives
we ought to take care of them"
The insurance feature of the measure.
which has been attacked as illogical
and unsound, was defended strongly by
the speaker.

The high postal rates that prevailed
In the earlier years of the last century
made the transmission of a letter or
parcel matter of serious moment.
"a packet weighing thirty-two ounces

of Sir Rowland Hill. "The postage
was over 20, being four times
a. much as the charge for an inside

Tin Can or cansssn Z

Popular etymology is always more
interesting than the learned explana-
lions of philologists. For instance,
take the barrack room derivation Of
the word "canteen." 1t is no use try
ing to convince Tommy. Atkins that
It comes from the Italian "cantina," a
small cellar. He had his own deriva-
ton. which he finds quite satisfactory.
"Canteen" is simply "tin can" said
backward. To Justify this theory he
simply invites one to look around.
Certainly tin enters largely into the
utensils and furnishing of the aver
age canteen. The drinking vessels
are tin. the counter is tin, and In
many cases the tables also are cover
ed with block tin. No wonder Tommy
holds that the word has some connec-
ton with the metal that is 80 much in
