ORIGIN OF "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 Cooper's 1.-THE
Deerslayer:"
SIT is singular there should be 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 1t is 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. II the former is pro-
nounced 'Yangis, 1t 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 NeIuhborhood Clubs Work.

In many villages there are neighbor-
hood or community clubs which include
the churches and other organizations,
temperance or ffaternal, meeting reg
ularly and considering all sorts of mat
tiers touching the neighborhood well
fare. These clubs have been giving
a 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
triotic 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-
ton but in everything connected with
the vigorous prosecution Of the war.

New Buildings Coming

The largest single item in the bud
get on which the Salvation Army
bases its appeal for all the people
of the United States to contribute
100000. to its Home Service
Fund in the week commencing May
70. is, $6,850,00O. for buildings.
In the past, the Army says, it has
been handicapped severely bylack
of suitable buildings in which to
carry on it's work. The distribution
of this item is local rather than gen
eral. according to the statement ;.-
sued by the Army. That lie the
amount apportioned to tho cities or
states which will be benefited bv
the buildings when they are con-
structed.

British Industrial Conference Re-
suits In Mutual Under
standing.
REFORMS TO BE INSTITUTED
Forty Eight-Hour Week, and Scale OF
Minimum Wages, to Be Unlver-
sal, Are Some of the Most
Vital Points.

An optimistic view Of the work OF
the industrial conference, comprising
representatives Of the employers and
the trade unions OF the United King
dom, was expressed at joint meeting
Of that body at London, Eng, to dis
cuss secret report made by the Com
mittee of Ten that had been appointed
to make recommendations as to an adj
justment of the outstanding difficult
ties.
Arthur Henderson, the labor leader,
in speaking Of the result of the DELHI
erations. said: "We got along well ;
we do not anticipate any disagree
ment."
Sir Allen MacGregor Smith, chair
man Of the Engineering Employers
federation, said the employers were
prepared to honor the report as soon
as the trade unions accepted 1t.
The secret report. It is understood,
recommended the following immedi-
ate reforms:
A 4S-hour week with a scale Of min
imum wages to be applied universally.
Trade boards for organized trades.
The wages and hours recognized and
agreed on by the trades unions and the
employers to be applied to all other
workers and employers.
Trade conferences to be held on
future war bonuses, the maintenance
Of the unemployed and old-age pen
sions.

Why Humble Cent Is Priced.

The cent, like corn flour, is coming
into its own as a 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 in units of five, 1t
is now, perhaps the most used and
useful of coins. Many articles of COM
mon consumption which formerly cost
or 10 cents now cost 6 or II cents.
So with things which could formerly
be bought from 10 cents to 81, All
require the odd cents now. Chewing
gum, cigars, cigarettes, theater tickets
are no longer obtainable at even
prices. The 1-cent piece instead Of
being nuisance is convenient and use
full. y
