Origin of Lafayette's Name.

"Etymologists have discovered the
origin of the famous name which dur.
ing the recent years of war has become
dearer than ever to Frenchmen and
Americans alike. La Fayette came
from the part of France known as Au-
vergne. He was, born at Chavagnac.
near Brionde, and his ancestral home
stands not far from the village Of Aire-
lafayette. In this part of the country
the word fayette' means wood OF
.fayards' and 'fayards' comes from the
Latin word .fagus.' which In the dialect
Of the country has come to mean 'hetre'
or beech tree. A .fayette,' therefore, Is
a beechwood. Etymologically, then, the
word La Fayette' Is the equivalent Of
the Beechwood.' From Victory.

rendered a second signal service to the
Belgian people by the siege and cap
ture of the Antwerp citadel, and once
more French regiment traversed the
scene without doing any damage. A
proposal was then made in the Belgian
chamber by patriotic leader, M. Gem
debien, to the effect that the ma
tional gratitude should be evinced by
the removal Of the lion monument al
together. He called it, and justly, as
has been shown, ''the hateful emblem
of the despotism and violence which
made us subject for Is years to the
humi1iating yoke which we cast off In
September, $780," l could not ask for
more authoritative confederation Of
my view that the Lion Mound is a
monument to Dutch megalomania with
out any reference to Britons or Bel
gians whatever. Certainly the Bel
CLANS would never have thought Of
erecting such a memorial to themselves,
and as to this country, 1t Is not its
way.
1t is quite clear, then, that the mere
reversal of the lions position affords
no adequate solution to the problem Of
satisfying those French sentiments
which M. Saintine expressed 90 years
ago. and which do not doubt are still
entertained. Once the matter is taken
into consideration, there can be no dis
pute that the position and the pose Of
the lion are offensive and provocative
to the French people, who, on three
historic occasions in less than a cen.
fury, have contributed Of their best
and bravest to the saving of Belgian
independence.

Diamonds Worn
Aplenty in U. S.

Chicago. - Diamonds never have
been so generally worn in any ma
ton or in any period of history as
they are in the United States to-day.
Time was when they adorned only
the princes of the earth and sparkled
only in the palaces of the great and
wealthy. Now, in a manner of
speaking, diamonds don't care who
wears them and one has only to look
around him to note to what an extent
they have become in this democratic
age, the jewels of the common
people.

STORM WRECKS

two frame hangers. The northern
edge of Camp Mills was struck 3y

Only two men were in the steel
hangar at Hazelhurst field when ii

crouched between two of the ma
chimes stored there and thus found
shelter when the roof fell. Both
miraculously escaped injury.
In this hangar was the Martin
bomber commanded by Captain
Francis, a Caproni airplane, and
two De Havilands. The Martin and
Caproni were virtually demolished,
but the smaller planes, stored III the
other end of the structure, escaped
with slight injury.

KNOCKOUT BLOW

The knockout blow is scientifically
explained as follows: When the low
er jaw is struck on it's point, espe-
cially with an uppercut, the bony
portion of the ear inside is driven
forcibly upward into the glenoid
cavity of the skull, above and behind
which is situated the delicate laby-
rinth of the inner ear.
The jawbone strikes hard upon the
thin plate of bone that supports these
sensitive organs and gives a shock to
the semicircular canals that is in
stantly transmitted by them to the
bulb, producing dizziness, nausea
and momentary paralysis.
This explains why a sideways blow
on the jaw is more effective as a
knockout than one delivered directly
upon the point of the jaw. For the
shock of a sideways blow is received
in one glenoid cavity, that on the side
opposite the one on which it is
struck. while the shock of a blow in
the center is divided between the
cavities on the two sides.-Detroit
News.
