WHY THEY ARE "DoUGHBOYS"
Origin Of Nickname Applied to United
States lnfantrymen Traced to
Mexican War.

The term "doughhoy" as nickname
for the American infantryman is
very old one dating back to the Next
can war of 1916. In that year the
United States regular soldiers first
made acquaintanceship with the
houses of mud-colored, sun-dried
bricks that are seen everywhere. even
today, in New Mexico, Arizona and the
southern part of California.
These bricks are called by the Next
can adobes pronounced "dobieso, a
term also applied to the small, squat,
flat-roofed houses built with them.
When the American invaders en-
tered what was then Mexican terri
tory, the infantrymen found these
dwellings-mostly deserted by their
panic-stricken nhabitants-handy as
biIlets, and promptly occupied them as
such. But the cavalrymen, who had
to be near their picketed horses out
on the open prairie, were unable to
avail themselves of similar accommo-
dation.
Partly in envy, and partly in good
natured chaff, these christened their
more fortunate comrades "dobie dodg-
ers," afterwards shortened to "dObies,"
n good. round-sounding nickname that
was bound to stick, and which In
course of time became corrupted into

GAVE GREAT WRITER THEME
How Patriotic Protest Of Gentle-Heart-
ed Man Furnished Inspiration to
Joel Chandler Harris.

In one of his stories of farm life in
Georgia Joel Chandler Harris tells of a
wealthy planter who wanted few
acres of original woodland cleared near
a village in which he lived. Labor was
scarce. but he finally induced a thrift
less fellow in the village to do the
work-a man who had always been
honest, but a kind of dreamer and
"ne'er do WELL"
After a few days the man came to
his employer and frankly confessed
that he could not do the work, al
though he needed the money. Pressed
for a reason he said that the first tree
he started to cut down was hollow and
occupied by two squirrels, who made
violent complaint at the destruction of
their house. The next was the home Of
a chipmunk, with large family, and
the third was occupied by at least four
pairs of jaybirds. "That piece of
woodland is a peopled city, throbbing
with life, busy from morning until
night. 1t contains their homes and
families, they have built and lived
there for years and I have not the
heart to destroy what belongs to these
helpless creatures" And out of that
incident, simple but impressive as II
was, Mr.. Harris drew inspiration for
one of the most graphic pictures In
all literature.-H. F.. Hartman, in the
South Atlantic Quarterly.

that a bladder was too heavy, paper

filed with gas rose to the ceiling OF
the room. The first successful bal

WOMEN'S CLUBS ARE

Vital Service In Reach Of Bows
And Girls To Help Pro-

SCHOOL RDEN ARMY

Every one of the twenty-five mil
lion school children OF the United
States should be given the opportunity
to feel that he has a part in the work
of winning the war" says Mrs. Mary
X Sherman. formerly Secretary of
the General Federation of Womens
Clubs, now serving as Assistant Re-
gional Director of the United States
School Garden. Army. in charge of the
Garden Army activities of club wo-
men.
"One vital service that may be put
within reach OF these boys and girls
is the chance TO produce food There
is no other thing that comes so dis
family home to every individual as
food. and if every child is shown that
by raising even a little food that he
himself eats he will be helping to keep
the soldiers on the battle fields from
going hungry. he will see that he
has part and can help in the great
world struggle.
Secretary Franklin X. Lane,
through the Bureau of Education, has
put in operation a practical plan for
the mobilization of the school children
of the country for garden work The
responsibility for bringing this oppor-
tunity within reach of the children
rests very largely upon the women

USED HUMAN FLESH FOR BAIT
Hawaiian Kings Utilized Bodies of
Slaves or Enemies to Lure Mon
sters Of the Ocean.

In the days of Hawaiian kings, ev-
cry part of the bone and skin of a
sha r was supposed to confer unflinch-
ing bravery upon the possessor.
Wherefore. shark-fishing was then q
regal sport. In those days, the bait
much in vogue was the human body
either the body of slave or of some
one against whom the royal parsonage
had taken sudden dislike, according
to Outing.
Kamehameha I. was especially proud
and jealous of his title of the Great
Shark-Fisher. He kept his victims
penned M near the great temple Of
Mookini, near Kawaihae, on the island
If Hawaii. He therefore had a plen-
tifui supply always on hand.
The person chosen to act as bait,
was killed. cut up, placed in Gala
bash. and allowed to mellow for few
days. The mellowing process con-
summated, the bait was dashed to the
outrigger of the royal canoe In such
q manner as to leave behind a drip
ping trail of blood and oil. Upon
reaching the fishing grounds, the bait
was unlashed. Large hooks fashioned
from wood or bone, were then "bait-
ed" and lowered oversize. Historians
tell us that great skill and courage
were shown by the members of the
royal party on such occasions in the
roping and landing of the captured
shark.

MOTHER NATURE As SCULPTOR
Marvellous Beauty of Yosemite Valley
Due to Erosion of Water Through
pncounted Ages.

liter the visitor 90 the Yosemite val
ley has recovered from his first shock
of astonishment-for il is no less-at
eyitably he wonders how nature made
it, However did ii happen that walls
SO enormous rose so nearly perpendlc-
ular from so level floor?
Ii will not lessen wonder to learn
that it was water which cut most of
this deep valley in the solid granite.
Originally the MERGED river flowed
practically at the level of the canyon
top. How long IL took its waters,
enormous in volume then, no doubt.
TO scrape with tools OF sand this val
lev thousands of feet into the living
granite, no man can even guess. And
as il cut the valley, ii left the trib-
utary streams sloping even more
sharply from their levels until event
ually they poured over Drinks as giant
waterfalls.
But biologists have determined, by
unerring fact, that the river did by far
the most of the work, and that the
great glacier which followed the water
ages afterward did little more than
square its corners and steepen its
cliffs. IT may have increased the
depth from roo 70 1000 feet. not more.
During the uncountable years since
the glaciers vanished. erosion has
again marvelously used its chisel.
With the lessening of the Merced's
volume. the effect was to amazingly
carve and decorate the walls.

Why should our girls and boys being

their use became at all general. True

undersea Pine Line for Oil.

Tank steamers are loaded with oil
on the Mexican coast by means of I'M
dersea pipes, sometimes over mile
long. The record is broken by two
lines each two and one-half miles long,
recently installed about seventy miles
south of Tampico. This method of load
ing is made necessary by the character
of the coast in the vicinity Of the oil
fields. There are no harbors deep
enough to accommodate tank vessels,
and the water alongshore is shallow
for nAile or more out to sea. The oil
pipes lie on the sea bottom and con-
nection is made with the tank ship at
the outer end by means Of flexible
metal hose. The line is fully connect
ed on shore and is then towed out to
sea by a tug-Literary Digest.
