How New York Gained the
Nickname "City of Gotham"

'City of Gotham" is a nickname OF
foreign origin with no particular ap-
plicability. Gotham Is the name OF
an ancient village in England. whose
inhabitants, according to tradition,
once escaped burdensome duty about
to be put upon them by feigning stu
pidity. This smart trick In pretend
ing to be fools gave rise to the express
sion "the wise men Of Gotham" and
the story of ''the three wise men OF
Gotham who went to sea in a bow"
The name was first applied to New
York city in q humorous magazine
called "Salmagundi." started in 1907
by Washington Irving and two or
three others, in which they made fun
Of the pretentions of some Of the "wise
men of Gotham" meaning the New
York Of that day. The magazine was
read, the fun-making approved. and
the nickname became permanent.

pair Of trousers every two months,
and makes provision on this basis al
though the normal life Of pair Of
breeches Is six months. Every soldier
has also an overseas cap hat has q

Iapanese Forecast DRetM
Race Trouble for the World
Fear an Armed Collision

Belief that the next war Will be
the outcome of race prejndfces Is ex-
pressed by Yukio 0zaki, formerly
minister of justice and a leading
member of the constitutional party.
Mr.. Ozaki said that in his opinion the
colored races, which steadily were de-
veloping their civilization, would de-
mand finally the same treatment as
the white races, and that the result
would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that Japan,
acting on behalf Of all Asiatic races.
should introduce the racial and popu-
lation questions for consideration and,
if possible, secure q solution. In a
country like Japan, where the popula-
ton is increasing with alarming
rapidity, he said it was but natural
that the surplus population should
try to obtain an outlet even by resort
ing to arms. From Japan's stand"
point, said Mr.. Ozakt, the racial or
population questions were more I'm
portant than President Wilson's
fourteen points," as laid down for a
basis for Germany's surrender. These
racial questions, he said, concerned
the future Of millions of souls In Asia.
Mr.. Ozaki warned the Japanese not
to develop the German system of state
organization, which in the war had
proved to be q mere machine for de-
stroying civilization and for tramp
ling under foot the rights Of other ma
lions and peoples. On the question
of Japan's occupation Of the German
South Sea islands, Mr. 0zah de-
clared that the United States should
dismantle her forts in the Philippines
and Hawaii and that this would be
more important for Japan than the
taking over Of the South Sea islands.

Idle Soldiers in Europe
Require Entertainment and
Diversion More Than Ever

The close of the war does not mean
that the need for theatrical entertain
ers to entertain American troops In
France has ended or even diminished.
On the contrary, it is greater than
ever. It is obvious that many Amert-
can soldiers will remain in Europe for
long time. With idle time on their
hands, lacking the excitement and ex-
altation Of battle, they must have
clean, wholesome entertainment.
So the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation and Americas Over There
Theater league, which have cooper
ated in sending entertainment units
abroad, are now expanding their ef-
forts. James Forbes, the playwright,
accepts applications and organizes
units.
"From July 30 to November 9 we
sent 1O2 entertainers abroad" Mr..
Forbes announces. I'VE will continue
to send as many as. we can until the
last American soldier is out of France.
Now that the fighting is over, they
need amusement and diversion more
than ever, and they keep urging and
urging and urging US to send more
players
Hitherto the performers sent abroad
have been practically all vaudeville
players. There were several reasons
for this. Transportation was limited,
so the travelling companies had to be
small and they could not carry the
scenery and costumes necessary for
dramatic productions. 80.
From now on, however, Mr.. Forbes
says the soldiers will have drama as
we'll as vaudeville.

HINTS FOR The
-
POULTRY GROWER

Unless paired matings are made and
a single female kept with each male,
the trapnest is an essential to pedi-
gree breeding of poultry, according to
w. A. Lippincott, head of the depart
ment Of poultry husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
'This holds as true for the fancier
as it does for the production BREEDER
said Professor Lippincott. although
the fancier may not find it necessary
to continue its operation for 80 many
months of the year. It is surprising
to find how few. even Of the so-called
big breeders know the exact parent
age of every bird in their docks. They
know from which pen given bird is,
and what male headed that pen, but
they can only guess which of II to IS
females produced q given outstanding
bird.
Had such a state of affairs been
allowed to exist In the breeding Of the
larger animals they would probably
be far below their present high level
of excellence. Only when complete
and careful pedigree records are kept
will the standard Of poultry breeding
be on q par with that of other pure
bred farm animals. The keeping Of
such records can be done only with the
help of q trapnest during the breeding
season. ...". ~" o.. 5
For the fancier the use Of the nest
during the breeding only is sufficient.
For the production breeder 1t IL neces-
sary to trapnest through the season
Of usual low production-the winter
months-in addition to the breeding
season, in order to secure an indica-
ton of each layers productive powers.
If. for purposes Of advertising, the to,
tai yearly record is desired, the trap
nest must be kept in use the full IL
months. = a.. a.
1.-THE trapnest is now so commonly
used that most persons understand
that it is a simple mechanical device
by which the hen shuts and locks her
self in when she goes upon the nest.
When she is released the number OF
her legband can be written on the egg,
and In this way a clear record Of all
eggs used for Matching purposes can
be kept. It is better to write the num-
Der on the small end of the egg, as
that is the part of the shell least
frequently broken during hatching."'

Public's Fancy for Songs

A photoplay magazine says that a

answers that any man or woman who
could do this could collect from $780,
600 to $4,000 q year from publish
ers BY keeping them supplied with this
advance information. Nothing, says
