Time and the Hyphen

How long does 1t take hyphen to
wear ont. We never remember hAv-
Ing seen George Washington or Mad
Anthony Wayne referred to as Brit
ish-Americans, and yet Washington
was not many years removed from
the mother country, and rs for Mad
Antony, we think his father was
born on the other side.
| We are moved to this inquiry as to
the time that it takes Times feet to
wear away the hyphen by an editor
ial In the Washington Times which
says that Maj. Gen. William l.. Sibert
10 . German American Sibert is now
In command of Americas first exped-
itionary force actually In the field.
The Sunday newspapers told Of his
trip to the fighting front and Of his
remaining for some under fire. 1t
was this trip Of the generals to the
battle which moved the Times to
speak Of Sibert as = loyal American,
9 German n-American ready to fight
the government of the land Of his fore
bears.
We happen to know little some
thing about Sibert. The Sibert from
whom he remotely is sprung came to
America long prior to the revolution
ary war, and 1t may be that he was .
German. The Sibert family tradition
10 split In twain on the subject. Many
of its members think that the first
American Sibert was French Hug
nenot The present Siberti is good
American either way.
Grant that the hrst American ST.
bert WAS German. What we are
driving at is that II after two hum
dreds years rubbing the hyphen does
not disappear in one mans case it
ought to hold In all mems cases. We
suppose, therefore, that all Of the
Sons Of the American Revolution
and the Daughters thereof likewise
are Germsn-Americans, English
A m e 9 Ans, w . ! sh- A.ne er!csns,
Scotch -Americans, French Anne
cans or anything else that you will
expect plain Americans.

Arts Club Fnvolity Chilled by Grim

Vivid word pictures of the system

of thousands of Poles and Of the use
OF bones of dead Polish babies as

member of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation mission to Europe. took most
of the folly out of the first of a
series of summer nonsense dinners"
held at the Arts Club. near Twenty
first and I streets northwest. last
night.
Mr.. walcott. who is now connected
with Herbert Hoover in the cam
paign for national food economy, and
who spent a year or more in Ger
many and Poland, put the sense"
in nonsense when he described
atrocities committed by the Huns.
His tale of the cold-blooded voting,
at military headquarters meeting
behind the Prussian lines. of the
slaughter of five hundred thousand
men to take verdun, shocked the
audience of Washington society men
and women who had gathered at the
dinner ready for merriment. and not
expecting to be confronted with the
grim countenance Of war.

GOODYEAR TIRES
WIN RACING fame.

! When the 1916 racing season opened,
Goodyear cord racing tires were an I'M
known quantity. Some people classed
them outright as rank pretenders-just
like that! Others were merely skepti-
cal. Only the Goodyear engineers and
officials and a few prominent racing
drivers who had faith in the Goodyear
ability to do things, believed that
Goodyear's first year in racing would
be marked by any notable success.
But that was several months ago
The year is over; championships have
been lost and won; records have been
shattered; time and again the best
pilots in the country have put their
fortune to the touch, to win or lose it
all" on Goodyear cord tires; and race
after race has been won on these tires
that only few months ago We're maxi
ing their debut in the racing world.
Men like Aitken Rickenbacher, De
Palma, Wilcox. Henderson, Lewis,
Cooper, Pullen, and the Inflated Gall
Vln drove Goodyear cords at one time
or another during the past season and
won thousands Of dollars of prize
money on them.
The Astor Cup, the Hardness Tro-
phy, the Grand Prize-these classic
prizes and others Of scarcely less re-
nown We're captured on GOODYEAR
cords

lnter-class meet at Chizzle- Wizzle.
Miss Nan Weston, teacher of type-
writing at Cony, states that the sys-
tenn of typewriting in time with the
music Of Nictrola which is played in
the class room. which has recently
been given a thorough trial in her
classes, is working very well. at
works fine with the Freshmen and
Sophomores, but is hardly fast enough
to use with the Juniors and Seniors.
1t developes an even touch. and the re-
pair men say that it is very much
easier on the machines on that ac-
count" said Miss Weston, who likes
the system very much. Special records
are played which have a regular and
distinct beat in the music, one OF the
favorite ones being the old song Pop
Goes the Weasel" which is used right
along. From the outside, the steady
tapping of the big flock of typewrters.
as they follow the beat of the music.
has a very odd sound, differing greatly
from the old indiscriminate rafting of
the keys.
