ORIGIN or "YANK" EXPLAINED
How the Nickname Came to Be APP
piled to American Soldiers Told
by Fenimore Cooper.

The nickname Yank, as applied to
the American soldier in France, has
something Of charm in the tradition of
the word. Persons interested in the
history Of words may have noted with
interest footnote in Coopers "The
Deerslayer :"
ut Is singular there should he any
question concerning the origin of the
well-known sobriquet of Yankee
Nearly all the old writer's who spoke
of the Indians first known to the col
onists make them pronounce the
word English as 'Yengeese.' Even at
this day it is Il prOvincialism of New
England to say English instead of
Tnglish,' and there is a close conform
ity Of sound between the English and
'Yengeese, more especially if the lat
ter word, as was probably the case, be
pronounced short.
1.-THE transition from 'Yengeese,'
thus pronounced, to Yangeese,' is
quite easy. If the former is pro-
nounced 'Yangis' it is almost identical
with Yankees and Indian words have
seldom been spelt as they are pro-
nOunced. The liquids of the
Indian would easily convert En- into

How Neiahborhood Clubs Work.

In many villages there are neighbOr-
hood or community clubs which include
the churches and other organizations,
temperance or fraternal, meeting reg
ularly and considering all sorts of mat
tiers touching the neighbOrhOod wei.
fare. These clubs have been giving
q good deal Of attention to food con-
servation, as their programs the past
winter show. The result has been help
full, and 1t Is noteworthy that where
these neighborhood clubs have taken
an active interest in food and other pa
trlotic questions there the pastors Of
the churches have paid attention to
the matter from the pulpit. The neigh
borhOOd club speaks well for the en-
terprise and spirit of the neighborhood.
One of these clubs that has had war
kitchen reports an awakened interest
not only in regard to food conserva-
tion but In everything connected with
the vigorous prosecution of the war.

WHO GUARDS THAT

1t Makes a Difference in the Sing
ing of a Certain CeIe-
brated Song.

According to returned British
prisoner who was at liberty in Berlin
during the revolution there, "Deutsch-
land uber Allies" 1.-The Watch on the
Rhine" and similar patriotic songs
are just now highly unpopular In the
German capital.
Three English civilians who had Gel
ebrated the signing Of the armistice
were coming along the Inter den Lin
den singing "The Watch on the
Rhine" when they were stopped by
German soldiers, who said they ought
to be ashamed of themselves for sing
ing such rubbish.
1--WE come from the Rhine" one Of
the German soldiers remarked. "You
go down there and try to keep watch,
and then you won't sing so much
about it,"
"But we are English" one of the
civilians replied.
"What!" exclaimed the astonished
soldier. "Then why sing The Watch
on the RhineT"
SWELL" grinned the Englishman,
"you see we are keeping it now"

Why Humble Cent lie Priced.

into Its own as result of war. Form
erly scorned by all except the needy
or the thrifty as inconvenient and of
little practical use, because nearly all
prices were made I'm units of five, It
is now, perhaps, the most used and

3 or 10 cents now cost 9 or IL cents.
SO with things which could formerly

will require lot of the foodstuffs in
his work abroad. The Post Office De-
partment, Indian Purchase Office OF
the Department of the interior, the
Panama Canal, Red Cross, and similar
bureaus will purchase as far as pos
possible. The various states and cities
will be given the opportunity to pur-
chase for their penal and other insti-
buttons, as all of the avenues named
are considered to be least disturbing
to ordinary trade.
The supplies must be sold, and the
effort will be to make the salvage just
as large as possible, and to disturb in
dustry and wages just as little as pos
sible.
There has been Widespread, and per.
fectly natural, apprehension that the
vast tonnage of supplies would be let
loose like an avalanche. l.. H. Hart
man, the chief of the Bureau of Sur
plus War Supplies, gives assurance
that there are no grounds for fear
of any serious disturbance; in fact he
says to the manufacturers, "You have
nothing to worry about" He also eau
tions against misleading rumors,
some of which are already afloat.
There will be cases where, in closing
the scattered camps and offices, few
units of this or that, say a dozen or
20 typewriters are disposed of locally,
because the cost of assembling the
few articles of an item from near and
far would be more than could be saw
ed; and in any event the total of any
such locality would not be more than
the proverbial drop in the bucket, and
could have absolutely no influence on
the general trade.
There will be no secrecy or privacy
attached to any sale, but, on the con-
trary, it will be conducted only after
the widest advertising, and with
equal opportunity for all to purchase.
In fact it is expected no sales will be
made (none have been made as yeti

Mr.. Hartman says:
"The balance will then be disposed
of in a slow, predetermined, safe
guarded manner, so that at little in

Materials remaining in the hands
of war contractors, belong to them,
and may be used or disposed of by
them as they see fit, as the surplus

HOW AMERICAN TROOPS
LIN ~ FOUGHT OFF HUNS

~ FOUGHT OFF HUNS
IN TRENCHES IN FRANCE.
The American troops used
what Is sometimes known as the
new French system of defense,
and sometimes as the new Ger
man system. At the beginning
of the war the front trenches
were held very "thick," espe-
cially by the British. Later the
idea was to have only q hand
full Of men in the first line, one
man to a hundred feet, perhaps;
for the second line there were
many more men and many more
machine guns; for the third line
men were much more heavily
massed and reserves kept avail
able, !Iucian Swift Kirkland
writes in Leslie's.
This theory Of defense against
raids was based on the fact that
the enemy can concentrate his
men in his front lines for sud-
den "Over the top"-then lay
down heavy barrage. When
the attacking troops come over
they strike the first line with
their maximum impact. They
are likely 10 overwhelm any or
binary defense, and thus it is a
waste Of men to try to defend
the first line obstinately. But
the human body gets tired and
when the machine guns and
rifles Of the second line have
had their innings Mt the attack
ers the enemy Is beginning to
slow up from natural ex-
haustion. On q counter-attack
then, the third line, being fresh,
meets the enemy tired from ex-
ertion and proceeds to drive him
out.
Thus, as we waded through
the mud, sometimes well over
our knees as we visited some Of
the half-demolished lines which
the Germans had tried to fiat
ten with their artillery in their
last raid, we did not find much
society, but the snipers, whom
we did find at their posts, seem
ed to have been born to the
job. They were men who knew
their rifles. and it was a state
ment of fact and not Boosting
when they declared that they
had the German sharpshoOters
buffaloed. We came upon one
lanky eX-cOwpuncher who had
been having four-hour duel
with a "bush," as lie called him.
He didn't know I was taking his
picture, but just as the camera
clicked so also did the hammer
of his gun. This time Mr.. Ger
man had taken one too many
chances. The fact was proved
through the periscope.

NEW COMFORT IN HuDsoEs.
super-sixes Are Improved I'm Many
WaYs.

while we are receiving regular ship
ments OF the new Hudson Supsr-Slx cars
from the factory they never reach the
salesroom noor." said Harry s. Houpt.
president of the Hudson Motor Car Com
pany OF New York. -
There are two reasons for this. One
is that as yet the Detroit factory is not
shipping a quarter enough cars and the
other is that our customers who placed
orders for their cars are grabbing them
as fast as they come into our service
station. so that We cannot even keep a
sample car on our salesroom floor.
Some OF the notable improvements
In the new Hudson include long control
levers within easy reach of the driver,
permitting greater ease Of operation.
Another convenience is found in the
gypsy curtains which have been provided
on both the four and seven passenger
phatons. Besides harmonizing with the
body lines. these provide added comfort
for passengers In the rear seats, as they
give greater protection against the
weather and unpleasant draughts.
In the seven passenger pheton the
comfort. appearance and strength Of the
auxiliary seats have bean notably i'm
in long grain leather pleated over Mar
shall springs. The steel braces support
ing the backs OF these seats are leather
covered. Scuff plates cover the entire
door opening and the door locks have
larger bolts. Solid brass robe and foot
rails have been provided.
The robe ran runs the full with OF
the back OF the front seat. providing a
convenient hand rest for passengers en-
tering the ;onneau. All fixtures are
nickel plated.
While Hudsons always save had ex-
cellent riding qualities. notable ad-
vance has been made In the new Super
Six by the use of longer spring shackles
and the rejesignins of the springs"

INTEREST In CLEVELAND CAR,
Dealers Clamor to Represent II
Throughout East.

Hundreds OF orders from dealers are
coming In for the new Cleveland car,
according to ]. b. Hulett of the Brady
Murray Motors Corporation. And this
remarkable interest is shown despite the
fact that Mr.. Hulett does not know yet
what the Cleveland price viii be or when
deliveries will begin.
1T is amazing the. way the dealers
are clamoring for this car" says Mr..
Hulett. when we tell them We have
nothing to show them and that the
price has not been fixed. they say; Well.
We want to sign anyway We akIfGw
enough about the personnel OF the Ceeve-
land Automobile Company to feel sure
that the price OF the new car and every
thing else about 1t will be all right
Now I ask you: What Is a person
going to do under such circumstances?
We have seen the car. have admired its
wonderful qualities and know that the
dealers faith in the proposition is we'll
placed, but We are not in a position to
get down to business with them until we
have more information upon which to
work. The dealers enthusiasm Is very
complimentary and gratifying. but all
we can say is: Thank you. and will you
please wait little whiler
The factory is coming along in fine
shape and it will not be long before we
have one of the cars on Broadway.
Il am sure that when the Cleveland
arrives here 1t will give New Workers
considerable of thrill. When dealers
show so much enthusiasm on the little
information they now have. you can be
sure that the presentation Of the car
itself will make a big hit. Motor car
dealers in this part Of the world are
r canny lot and do often make a
mistake. they are enthusiastic
now know there Is bis
and interesting surprise in store for
them and for everybody else when the
Cleveland actually puts in an appear

BURRELIE's RECORD BUSINESS.
High Glass Used Cars in Big
Demand.

Not in many years has there been
such tremendous demand for used
cars and the shortage will not be met
for some months, in the opinion Of
Douglas c. Burrelle. whose big estab-
lishment. Iceland. at Broadway and
Fifty-thfrd street, has eclipsed all It's
former figures this season. Since April
his business has totalled more than
$1,000 900. Mr.. Burrell says.
This enormous amount of business
has been possible because Mr.. Burreile
and his assistants spent six months
prior to the opening of Iceland In securing
the large cities of the country and buy
ing up hundreds of high class used cars
of American and foreign makes. Nearly
all his stock has been snapped up by
buyers unable to get delivery of new
cars
TN my opinion, the shortage of new
care will not be relieved before the late
fall" Mr.. Burrelle said yesterday. THE
volume of used car business to-day ac-
tually rivals that OF new cars. The
production to-day Is only 25 per cent
Of what 1t was two years ago. and there
are four or five buyers for every nay
car of a popular make. AS far as pos
sible the shortage is being met bv used
cars, some OF which are now selling al
n premium. This Is especially true OF
late models of class cars, which are now
bringing almost teir original price"

p1ERCE.ARRow BODY pEsIeNs
Experts Turn Out Unusual Bcdiss
lof Duality.

Motor truck utility is determined
largely by body design.
Because the motor truck user demands
maximum utility close heed must be
given 20 the question of body equip
ment. The successful operation OF q
truck depends much upon this factor
Truck bodies must meet a multiplicity
OF requirements. Unless the motor truck
manufacturer can provide body types to
match these special requirements the
customer Is but half Served.
The Pierce-Arrow motor Car Conn
pany occupies fortunate position in
this respect. Its big. modern body shops
produce the widest range Of body types.
In fact, the number of Interchangeable
combinations totals 1.-Two. In, platform
types alone, for instance, there are sew
enteen two ton sizes and fourteen FIVE
ton sizes.
Pierce-Arrow truck engineers possess
a distinct advantage in the field of body
designing. Few other companies have
had as many years of experience in body
designing. Most important OF all, how
ever, Is the fact that the company's engi-
.neers have adhered to the we'll known
Pierce-Arrow policy of building to Inn
proved quanty rather than to reduced
costs. They made inevitable the reputa-
ton gained by Pierce-Arrow bodies, o
reputation that equals that of tho
Pierce-Arrow Truck itself
The company's engineers have pre-
pared what is believed to be the most
exhaustive treatise on truck body build
ing ever compiled. This treatise enables
every Pierce-Arrow agent to give cus-
toners the most accurate advice az to
the selection of the proper body for each
type OF work.
