HERE'S HOW THE WORD
 "QUIZ" WAS ORIGINATED

Hoaxers exist in every profession and walk of life; they flourish in every age and cline; they ply their art either as a means of livelihood or from the sole desire to gull the credu- lous public. It was the latter which melted that prince of practical jokers, Theodore Hook, to perpetuate the most audacious of all hoaxes. Hook bet a guinea that certain modest dwelling in quiet thoroughfare lead ing out of Oxford street, would be- come the most notorious house in the town, and set about winning his wager by addressing a thousand letters, con taining orders to tradesmen, with the request that they would at a certain hour on certain day deliver their goods at a certain house in Berners street.
 The lord mayor, the lord chief jus tice, the archbishop of Canterbury and commander-in-chief were among the many victims that fell into the trap, and, duly arriving at the appointed spot, experienced the most unceremo- nious treatment amid the turbulent and exasperated throng.
 <AS TcSuit Ol DeL DeLWecn CIe Duke of Montague and Lord Chester field that the former would, by ad- vertising an utterly impossible per formance, find fools enough to fill playhouse, it was announced that on January 10, 1749, on the stage of the Haymarket theater, person would get into a tavern quart bottle, and while there sing several songs.
 On the evening appointed for the of this marvellous feat the house was packed from floor to ceiling, among the expectant audience being no less a parsonage than the Duke of Cumberland.
 For while all sat in patient silence, but, on the curtain not rising, catcalls and whistles soon swelled to open riot Some one threw lighted candle upon the stage, and general stampede fos that part of the house immediately followed, and in the melee that en- sued the Duke of Cumberland lost his sword.
 A hoax equally diverting, and with no harmful issue, was that originating with Daly, the manager of the Dublin theater, who wagered that within "A hours he would introduce a perfectly meaningless word into the English language.
 To effect this he chalked on every wall to which he could gain access the four letters Q-U--I--Z, which at once set all Dublin wondering as to their significance-wondering in vain, the sole result of the general bewil- derment being the circulation of word that has remained current till the present day.

J. c. Simmons, with Frank Brooks permission, has done some great things for the Skylight City Bottling Works. Next time you are out that way ask Brooks to take you into the bottling works. Simmons paint brush has made everything new and spot less and it ought to be a pleasure to those who drink the products of the "Skylight City" to see what sanitary, cleanly place the drinks come from. But they didn't stop there. Simmons has painted some signs about thou sand feet long on the buildings in the rear of the store. They can be read without glasses from the trains and for many blocks around and are really classy looking signs.

ACCOUNTING KNOWN
 TO BE AN OLD SCIENCE

Accountancy, which is the science of systematizing business, has a history that runs back at least 4,0OO years. Very early in the development of na- tions, it was found that in commerce, as well as in the affairs of the state, systematic and careful account keep ing were indispensable. These sys- tems were, at first, crude and labori- ous, but they at least kept the finances of the nation and the marts of trade from being chaotic.
 The invention of double-entry book keeping early in the Fifteenth Cen tury, by the merchants and bankers of Venice, gave to the commerce of Europe an invaluable trade instrument and one without which the great com mercial enterprises of the later centu- ries could hardly have existed. And so it has been on down to the present time; there has been parallel of progress between the accomplishments of commerce and the science of ac- counting, and it is known to every man in business that the former could not continue without the latter.
 Bookkeeping, as formal subject of study, is taught in most of the public and private schools of this country; but it is only that form of bookkeep- ing that applies to the affairs of the merchant or the shopkeeper. The pub lie has yet to learn that bookkeeping is quite as necessary to the prosperity of the wage worker, the salaried man, the farmer and the housekeeper as it is to the shopkeeper, the merchant or the manufacturer.

WASHING POTATOES
 WITH A PILE DRIVER

A soldier boy with the army of oc- cupation in Germany, writing home, says: Did you ever hear of the flap jacks we are getting now? Some fine class to us. We ,have a kitchen BPS feet wide and 1,S45 feet long. It takes IS firemen to keep it hot. We have 5,019 cooks and TOO K. P.'s. We mash potatoes with pile driver and grind coffee with 305-horsepower Liberty motor. We haul our dirty pans on flat cars and the K. P.'s have to use roller skates. The mess ser geant rides up and down the kitchen on a motorcycle shouting his orders through a megaphone. Making flap jacks, we mix batter with 12 concrete mixers, keep a steam shovel moving eggshells away from the door, and 6 K. P.'s with bacon rinds strapped on their feet skate over the griddle to keep it greased. Believe me or not that is the honest truth"

'WH|TEY" CLEANER
 REPORTS ID MOLLY
Baron Prodigy Back From Years Service With the
 Army Overseas

Whitey" Glazner, star pitcher of the Barons in 1918, reported to Manager Moles- worth at Redwood yesterday afternoon. Glazner is just back from France, where he saw six months active service with the Eighty-first or Wildcat" di vision.
 Whitney" was wounded by gas shells and for many weeks was under the care of physicians but has completely recov- cred and will be in condition to pitch within the next 10 days. Although the local prodigy has not yet affixed his 'Jehn Hancock" to a Baron contract It goes without saying that he will be amongst those present from now on.
 The arrival of Glazner and Coffindafer completes the Baron pitching staff, but in order to make room for this pair of pitchers. Moley will have to can two of his hur1ers. Thus far Morrison and Sigman are the only local fingers who have shown much stuff, but Moley hasn't yet decided which one of the other three he will keep.

BANK NINE LOSES
 TO AVONDALE TEAM

The American Trust and Savings bank team was defeated by the fast Avondale team yesterday afternoon oy the score of to 1. The game was fast and snappy and was featured by the pitching duel between Lee Donald son of the American Trust team and Yarbrough of the Avondale nine. Don- aldson had the best of the argument striking out 16 men, but the errors of his team lost the game for him. Tar brough famed 12 men, while his team gave air-tight support behind him.
 The bank team pushed across their lone tally in the ninth inning and be- gan to show signs of a batting rally, but a double play by the Avondale boys killed their hopes of tying the game Davis of the bank nine was the only one to maks more than one hit

TEX MUST TAKE IN S400.000 TO MAKE
 ANY SORT OF PROFIT
By JOE WILLIAMS

To make any kind of profit Tex Rickard will have to play to $400,- 0G0 when Willard and Dempsey meet in Toledo July 1. A To; ot money, sure enough; but if that is all that will come in Tex's share will be only sonnet thing like S4u.- 0G0. which is a small figure con- sidering the risk.
 To begin with, the fighters are going to draw down between them s127.500. Add that to s105,000, which the arena is going to cost.
 However, those two items meas. ure up to $227, ,509, and added te that is the cost of promotion Of the affair an item wiich will hit well around the s50,00v mark; probably more, the items being those Of of flee rental, telegrams, mailing, travel cost. and all such things, ncc- essary in doing the things right
 That's only s2S2,50 but there are two taxes which are to be paid and which Rickard will pay. It's the 10 per cent government tax on each ticket. which runs into s4o,- 900, figuring on a $400,000 house and another tax of per cent, which goes to the city and which figures on the same size house $2S000. That will leave less than s50,000 profit-nothing very much to boast about in an enterprise tn~ volving such an amount.
