THE ORIGIN.

Any one interested in the history of dress might find amusement for many an idle hour simply in search ing out the meanings of many of the words used by dressmakers and hab- erdashers. Take the simple word corset. You will find that it is a di- 'minutive of "corse," as body-a word which we still have in corpse and corps. And it was early used in the plural, as it is now, first to indicate an entire garment, and then merely the stay portion of such garment. Similarly "bodice," which has recent ly been revived as a substitute for the overworlled waist" is merely a plu- ral for body, the, term originally be- ing, "a pair of bodies"
 The Orient has also contributed it's share to clothes words and our pa jama-or pyjamas, as it is almost always spelled in France comes from the Hindu ''paejama," which literally mean leg garment" This word was first introduced into current English through the British occupa- ton of India, where the single neth- CT portion was the usual house gar ment for men. In colder climates, of course, the jacket was indispensable, and hence the term pajamas is now generally accepted for the complete outfit.

PERU PEOPLE
 WERE STARVING
Bolshevists Regarded All Bourgeas Inhabitants As
 Outside the Law.

Omsk, Central Siberia. Friday, Jan. 17.-tBy the Associated Press)- Death stalked the streets of Perm until the city was captured by Gen. eral Gaida, according to the official report of an investigator who has just returned from the Ural front. So terrible were conditions under the Bolshevist regime that the frighten- ed people of Perm have not yet re- covered. It is said that the few pe- destrians encountered there were emaCiated, with livid lips and con- stant nervous trembling of the head and hands. There are no children less than 2 year old in Perm, all hay
 ing died, says the report, which adds that in three months the whole popu- lation would probably have perished.
 The report states that the Bolshe tants of the city, even those ruined and dying. as outside the law. When the jail was overcrowded, the inmates who had been imprisoned longest were shot to make room for the new corners, it is declared. There are well-authenticated cases of torture, according to the report, which says some of the condemned were com pelled to dig their own graves and rehearsals of executions were staged during the hours before the doomed people were put to death. Men were plunged into water until nearly drowned and were then revived so that their torture could continue, while some prisoners were buried alive and others were mutilated, the report states. Women were forced to dig trenches, were often flogged and sometimes even killed, it is said, Peasants were forbidden last June to take provisions into the cIry Some people hid supplies, but these were found and seized by the Rolslevists, Tho spread terror throughout the hole region near Perm.

DON'T SPOIL
 THE SOLDIERS

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-"Don't spoil the boys when they come back" was the plea of Russell c. Lowell, of the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- ton, when he spoke here recent ly.
 MT. Lowell said he thought that some of those who had been maimed in the war were spoiled for the flu ture by being feted too much and adored as heroes when they reached their own home towns. He cited sev- eral cases where young men had practically refused to undertake to learn new trades after being untitted by their wounds for continuing at their old trades, because, they said, they did not need to work now.
 After a time, Mr. Lowell declared, a man tires of such idleness and false honor, and he either becomes men tally sick and Respondent or gets quite crooked in his methods and be gins praying upon people instead Of trying to earn 8 living.
 Mir. Lowell stated that one of the chief difficulties the Federal educa> t!onal system is encountering is that of getting hold of the maimed men when they have returned to this country. They filter back to their own districts. and, unless properly taught to start life anew are apt to reach a mental stage where it is diff ficult to get them to overcome the real difficulties which exist in the re-education in trades.

MORRISON CODE TO REvOLUTIONIzE
 ENTIRE STATE EDUCATION SYSTEM

A bill is about to be introduced in the Connecticut Legislature which, if it becomes a law, will violently revolutionize the entire EDUCA- TIONAL structure of the state. This bill will be founded upon a Detailed Plan for School Code for the State of Connecticut" of which Henry C. Morrison is said to be the author.
 It includes among other things the following pernicious provisions. Status of Teachers Under Proposed
 Code.
 All teachers must conform, for salary purposes, with certain qualifi- cations of education, training, ef- ficiency, and character of services to be rendered-these qualifications to be prescribed by the State Board of Education at Hartford, not by the school board or district in which they serve.
 2.-The State Board of Education is given unlimited power in prescrib- ing qualifications of teachers and are subject to review by no one, not even the Governor or State Legislators.
 3. - Any teacher, regardless of proved practical ability, not conform ing to any faddist notion becoming a republication under direction of the State Board of Education, may. regardless of years of service and proved practical efficiency, be re- moved and discharged.
 All teachers are hired or fired" by the local superintendent who is responsible, not to the local Board of Education or School Con- mittee. but to the proposed Com missioner of Education" at Hartford so that notwithstanding service en- tirely satisfactory to the local Board a teacher may be dismissed for ever personal reasons engendered in the mind of the superintendent.
 5.-Under the foregoing provision: over 200 teachers serving in the rura districts will find themselves, in the later years of their service. imperilec in their positions, notwithstanding long fidelity to duty.
 6.-All teachers are to be classi fled in accordance with a theoretica rating, and upon which their sala ries shall depend, While the loca superintendent Irresponsible only t the "Commissioner of Education" a HartforO may RECOMMEND" ; given classification, only this Statt Commissioner at Hartford can certif, to it. No teacher shall receive a per manent classification except by cer | tification of the Commissioner or hi agent
 7.-Under this system of classif cation thoroughly competent schoo ] teacher of years of experience, ant satisfactory to the local school board may find herself reduced to a mini | mum salary because her methods d.

not conform to the "advanced' ideas of this Commissioner of Education at Hartford. If so, her only appeal is to the State Board of Education, which appoints the "Commissioner of Education" and therefore forms a "close corporation"
 S.-The salaries of school teachers are to be established by the State Board of Education, but will be pre- dicated upon classification by the Commissioner of Education" which means in the end that the Com missioner of Education" may arbi- trarily fix the salary of any school teacher according to the whims of his fanciful fads or personal prejudice may take form.
 9.-After @ teacher has received classification as a salary basis and been led to believe that she is to have that certain fixed salary, the Com missioner of Education' may at any time modify this classification and thus reduce her salary. This renders particularly insecure the position of teachers of middle or advancing age. Since the modification" is to be bas-
 
 her service" record, it may easily be seen that the service record of woman of comparative i'll health or advancing years will be susceptible of fertile field for salary reduction in the mind of an arbitrary commits sioner.
 1O.-From moral standpoint, the system of appointment and payment of teachers is particularly pernicious It fosters the inclination of young school teachers to accept the inn proper attentions of any school sup erintendent who may be of lax moral quality to thereby secure his recom- mendation to the "Commissioner of Education to reach a higher salary or to maintain a higher salary reach ed, with all it's attendant corrupting influences upon the minds of those | under her charge.
 1.-The whole system of appoint ment of school teachers, regulation of salaries and supervision of their work, involves a complete cession of | every element of control and disci- 1 pline heretofore benefcially exerted | by the local school board; places her | in a position where she may disre- 1 gard the injunction of the local | school authorities and become the toy | of the whira, fancy, and faddish idea of a local superintendent, account 1 able only to the Commissioner of | Education'' at Hartford; jeopardizes her present salary, since it admits of an arbitrary reduction, and places her in a position where at the very time in her life she should be enabled
 to rely upon fixed salary as the re
 suit of her past labors, her position l becomes most insecure.

SPEAKS BEFORE
 MAINE ASSEMBLY
Mrs. Schoonmaker to Talk in Behalf of Suffrage
 Bill.

Mrs. Nancy NJ. Schoonmaker, citi zenship lecturer and organizer for the Connecticut Woman Suffrage As sociation, will speak Thursday be- fore a joint session of the Maine leg islature, now meeting in Portland, in favor of the presidential suffrage bill which will come up for a hearing at that time.
 Mrs. Schoonmaker goes to Portland in answer to a telegraphed request from the Maine Woman Suffrage As sociation asking her to appear with two other speakers in support of the suffrage bill. The two other speak CTS will be men, according to the tele- gram received by Mrs. Schoonmaker. Mrs. Arthur Ballantyne, chairman Of legislative work of Maine association, will preside at the hearing and in troduce the speakers.
 When interviewed upon the sub jeCt Mrs. Schoonmaker said, T am indeed very glad of the opportunity to present to any New England leg islature a plea for justice to women. New England, for many years, has been the leader of progressive thought in this country. Doesn't it make all of us a little bit ashamed to see those governments from which our forefathers broke away, coming into the actual realization of democ- racy before we do"
 Mrs. Schoonmakers original and unusually successful citizenship work in Connecticut has become so famous that western states are seeking sug- gestions from her and are requesting her to arrange a western tour of citt- zenship lectures. A letter from the newly enfranchised state of Michigan says, I've are more than grateful for the material you sent in reference to citizenship. We are almost swamped here in Michigan with applications from clubs and from people We never cheard of while we were trying to gel heard of whle we were trying to get suffragists who awoke immediately af- ter election is one of the Soyful sur prises that followed the wake of ou1 campaign"
 Wisconsin is also Investigating "Connecticut's plan" for citizenship and several states are asking fol sample copies of Mrs. Schoonmaker's book '"The Actual Government ot Connecticut" which is now being pIac. ed in Connecticut schools and col. leges

BEIENNE HONORS
 MEMORY OF NAPOLEON

Brienne le Chateau, the little French town where Napoleon re- ceived his military education, will celebrate today the 105th anniversary of the Enperor's last visit to the will lage. It was on Jan. 29, 1874, that Napoleon began his campaign against the allies who were storming at all the borders of France. At Brienne. where he had been taught the grim science Of warfare he attempted to cut the Silesian army in two by sud denly interposing his forces between those of Schwartzenberg and Blue cher, the object being to prevent their uniting. Almost on the same spot and on the same day Napoleon had breadth escape from the attack Of a Cossack who attempted to murder him. IL was only the prompt assistance of Gorgaud that saved Napoleon.

The water in which brussels sprouts and cauIifiower is cooked can be utilized by making soup. Spinach and rice water should never be vast ed.
 Try boiling your potatoes. Prepare medium sized potatoes for baking. when lighting the oven for the re- mainder of the meal. Put the pota- toes on the grate in the broiler, plac- ing them just far enough from the burner to miss being touched by the blaze, After twenty minutes turn them over so they will bake evenly on both sides. At the end of thirty five minutes the potatoes will be done to turn and without taking up val uable space in the oven proper.
 Don't discard embroidered and monogramed towels that are wearing out. If a monogram, make a paper pattern either a square or triangle, whichever will entirely enclose the monogram. Place the pattern over the monogram and cut it out. Turn in the edges of the cut out portion and sew it either in the center or on
 
 The edge may be concealed by a row of chain, feather or buttonhole stitching. Usually wear thin in the center so the other end, especially the end with the monogram or in itials on them can be used for wash cloths by cutting out the best sec ton and hemmiDg. A crochet edg- ed could be be the finish in place of the hem if the end is good and strong and will wear long enough to pay for the work.
 A good way to repair a center piece, is to cut out of new material a piece for the center. Hem it and sew to the edge. When this is done, connect the two pieces of the cloth with strips of lace insertion. Bast the lace on the very center, sew down the loose edge of the lace, turn onto the wrong side and cut away the eX- tra piece.
 When fannels have become hard | and shrunken they may be restored to their former softness by soaking them in gasolene.
 Don't throw away your empty spools. Keep them until you go away, and slip them over the nails which you will probably find in your closet to hang your clothes on. One-pound baking powder boxes make excellent bread pans. Butter : the inside well and fill only half full | of dough. so that for rising it will not | run over the top. You will have a little round loaf that makes very dainty sandwiches.
