Sir: In your paper of this after

The boy may be excused on account
Of his youth for writing such twad-

Hutton to give such letter to the
public press. He would do less harm
by joining the Hun army, and using
a machine gun against his own peo-

nsTUNT" NOT AMERICAN WORD
Is Corrupt Form Of "Stent" and
"stlnt," Which Are in Common Use
In Scotland and North England.

The word STUNT" as used in the
United States, is a corrupt form of
''stent" and "stint," both of which
words are in common use in Scot
land an the north of England.
"Stent' means, or meant, specif-
cally in Northumberland, an allow
ance of pasturage limited to the
grazing of three sheep or one horse,
and generally piece of work to be
accomplished within a given time.
In the latter sense it is very nearly
pur "chore." In the olden times a
stent for cows formed part of a
hind's wages, shepherds and kinds
having been paid for the most part
in kind. When it was found incon-
Henient for the farmer to have hind
keep two. COWS, which was his right,
and one only was kept, the servant
was allowed a money equivalent for
the keep of a second COW. This was
known as the stent Of q COW. This
sum averaged three pounds yearly
and was called "deef-stent." The
verb means to limit, and a Newcastle
workman might say in the Tyne
side vernacular, "Aa's stented tiv an

In the list of naval vessels, or yes
sells of every description in the naval
service, there are hundreds Of motor
boats of all sorts and descriptions.
The first government-built patrol
craft to 60 into the service was origi-
nally ordered for the coast guard
service. She is SO feet long, with q
beam of IA feet, and draws 3 feet
z inches. She was designed by A.
Loring Swasey, but is quite unlike
most vessels from his board. She
was built by Robert Jacobs of City
Island, and is equipped with an
eight-cylinder motor, which gave her
a speed of 1887 miles per hour on
her trial trip. She is quite heavily
built and has ample accommodations
for officers and men. A powerful
wireless outfit and searchlight were
installed on her.

CREDIT TAKEN FROM IRELAND
~Murphys" MIsnsnned, Says Writer,
4 Who Declares Potatoes Originated
In South America.


The gallant Sir Walter Raleigh
first planted the potato in North
America in 1875, in the colony Of
Virginia. The potato did not have
at that time the wide reputation it
now enjoys, as it had been known to
civilized nations for few years only.
Pizarro, the explorer, found the
South American Indians cultivating
the well-known "spud" 80 years be-
fore, and took some Of them home
to Spain, which probably accounts
for the 80" on the end Of the famous
subterranean edible, says a writer
in the Dayton Journal. The Span
ish do not like to leave a word with
out a vowel on the end of it, and
probably would make no exception
in favor of foreign foodstuff. They
approved the argus-eyed vegetable
from South America, and it was
from sunny Spain that Raleigh got
his trial peck destined for Virginia.
1t is a great mistake to suppose
that the Irish perfected the potato.
They probably got it from Spain in
as good condition as we now see it,
and deserve very little potato credit.
Its ancestry is probably Inca or Toll
tee, with possibly a dash of Aztec.
There is no more reason for calling
the plain boiled or lyonnaise by the
name of Murphy than there is for
calling them popocatapetls = not
quite SO much, in fact.

CFrom Dixie Highway

(From Dixie Highway
The most unique and weird rambling ground for
automobile tourists on the continent is outlined by
proceeding north on the east leg of the Dixie high
way from Chattanooga to the vicinity of Lexing-

leg and south along the latter route to the point
of beginning These boundaries inclose an lrreg-
ular area as large minor European prncipality
Dropping deep into the heart of this region the
tourist comes upon curious wonderland. The
scenery Is as beautiful as any in the world. 1t Is
made I'D of mass of mountains in places covered
with dense and virgin forests, carpeted with an
astonishing flora, through which meander new
country roads and fantastic by-ways in the course
of feversh construction. There are cliffs beside
which o family of skyscrapers would appear as
ambitious bowlders and fields of massive rocks,
living heIterskelter as would the discarded blocks
of some prehistoric giant child grown tired at
play. over them Mother Nature has splashed her
most brilliant colors.
Here and there are the homes of the mountain
folk Some are mere cabins; others more preten-
ttous structures but all constructed of native
materials which grow gracefully picturesque with
age.
These highlanders are the people of more or
less truthful fiction. Going about their everyday
affairs they present the pleasing spectacle of llv
ing pages from the books. backgrCunded by the
supreme in nature. They kindly set with
outcrops of uncommon beliefs. Among them is
high percentage of old-young people. That is,
men and women who boast of eighty and ninety
years as their age yet appear to be just cleverly
started upon their Journey into that realm beyond
the half-century mark. These old people not only
attest the healthfulness of their environment, but
are human documents of order to be found mo-
where else.
The tourist finds more that is new and inspiring
in this region than in any other section TO which
he might turn. There comes the thrill which the
explorer feels when he views scenes that are
strange to ordinary human eyes. The spell of the
unknown is everywhere, for the heart of this ir-

CAPEs FOR EVERY OCCASION
Models of All Kinds Which Are Being
Turned Out by Designers Prom
ise to Have Definite Vogue.

Short coats are once more subject
for experiment and capes promise to
have a definite vogue. Already there
are attractive capes of many kinds on
view, and word comes from Paris of
more and more cape models, short,
long, frivolous, severe, capes for sports
wear, for morning wear, for afternoon
wear, for evening wear.
One shop is showing delightful, full,
enveloping capes of charmeuse, bro
cade on one side, plain on the other
and reversible. A frock of dark blue
and beige block check silk has a very
clever short cape of dark blue cloth
collared and lined with the silk.
Another short dark blue cape is of
gaberdine and has a good-looking high
collar of biscuit cloth. Long, circular
capes of sports materials are many,
blue burella model lined throughout
with fine white serge, being a case in
point, and thinner materials such as
Jersey are made into full, long capes
shirred to yokes. The collar is often the
distinguished feature of an otherwise
very simple cape, and designers are
exhausting their ingenuity upon this
detail as they have upon the collar for
the topcoat.
One designer sends out sports cape
of white serge with girdles and yoke
of blue and white block check and an
other provides a full cape of violet
djersa lined with gray and hugely col
Jared in gray jersey in most original
fashion.
