The latest edition of Cassels, the dictionary which is to England what Webster's is to us, contains supple ment containing the printable DOT tions of collouuialisms, slang and the manufactured vocabulary peculiar to the navy, army, and royal air force, colonial expressions and Americanisms brought from overseas by the various troops, and likely to make good their claim to naturalization. New mean ings to old words have also been re- corded, for today there are many words like "barrage" and "tank" that convey to most people totally diff ferent impression from that which they would have given them before the war.
 The following are few interest ing words selected from this supple ment:
 "Boloism," illicit relations with or. corrupt propagandist activity on be- half of the Central Powers during the late war.
 "Old bean," old fellow.
 Blinking" euphemism for bleed- ing.
 Brass hat" staff officer.
 "Bus," an aeroplane.
 "Cold feet" to be in funk,
 "Clobber," clothing.
 "Conchy,' conscientious objector Dazzle" disguise in painting shiRs: :, s, ,...,.
 "Dur," no good.
 "Eyewash," humbug.
 "Fed up," to have had more than enough ito eat.
 "No flies on one," no food.
 Funk holes," government job.
 "To make good" to succeed.
 "Guy," toff.
 "Highbrow," a highly superior per son.
 "Hoe stuff," an interruptions or for midable person.
 "To cut no ice," to fall fiat.
 "Jazz," a noisy and boisterous dance in ragtime. "Joy ride" ride when one ought to be at work. Movies" a kinematographic exhi- bition.
 "Napoo," nothing doing.
 Push" to kick out. >l
 "Scrimshank," malignefing.
 "Shavian," follower of Geo. Ber- nard Shaw.
 "Strafe," to punish.
 "Top hole," the very best.
 "Umpteen," any number.
 "Washout," failure or muddle.
 "To get ones wind up," to get nerv- ous and excited.
 We are intrigued, as the literary critics say, by stone in a Warrens- vile (Ohio) cemetery. Three lines on it are: Mary D., His Perfect Vie" !" "Lucile, His 2d Sweet Wife" and "Mary F., His Healthful Sd Wife" Apparently she is, having been born in 1862, while he was born in 1886. One might philosophize on the adiec- tives "Perfect," Sweet" and Health ful," while the lowing herd wound slowly OCT the lea.

 Artist Jimmy Swinnerton says he had friend once, who had he lived long enough for his talent to have become more widely known, would have been the worlds foremost and most famous artist. He painted q dog so naturally, when he was only 12 years old that duhng dog days it had hydrophobia and had to be shor. At 18 he painted a beer bottle so naturally that the cork flew out just as he had finished it. When his little son was three years old he painted picture of it, so life-like, that it cried and his wife whipped it before she discovered her mistake.
 F.. G. Miller, forest supervisor, says one of the forest rangers recently found a new homesteader fencing in a most barren patch of his land.
 Man." he said, "what are you fencing that for?"
 "For my sheep" was the answer.
 "But your sheep will starve in there, as there's nothing for 'em to eat"
 "Sure," the man retorted, "I'm fencing it to keep the fools out of it."
 Walter Lindblom, just back from his vacation in Michigan, says there is one section in the eastern part of the state where the church bell is rung at IF o'clock each day for the people to take quinine to ward off chills.
 Judge F. w. Perkins says he re- members lady back where he used to live who was so kind that she gave her children chloroform before she whipped them.

SIGNS OF WEALTH

Are the Flibbits well to do?"
 "No. They are in moderate circum- stances, but they're progressing"
 "How so?"
 "Their automobile is more than half paid for, and if they cared to I dare say they could meet the installments on player piano."

 Dave Brolliar, who had just caught up with his work on his ranch south of Mormon Lake and could thus spare time to come in for supplies, told Ali Dickinson at the Pine hotel on Friday:
 "Me and old man Hance is respon- sible for most of the scenery here abouts. He dug the Grand Canyon and wheeled the dirt out on a wheel barrow and made the San Francisco peaks"
 After hearing this we looked again to see how Dave spells his last name.
 We view with alarm the item in last weeks "Queer News" that women visitors are barred at Philadelphia ship plant because each visitor dis tracts the workers, diminishes produc- ton and costs the concern $10,000.

 "You don't hold it right" Milt said.
 Hold it? How could I hold it, and two heavy horses pulling it away. Just stop them horses, and I'll hold it for you"
 Indeed, it is sad thing, w. w., to be murdered by the hand which, so to speak, was sworn to keep an eye on your welfare, and which right fully should serve you on it's knees.
 Received by a local grocer:
 Dear Sir. What are we going to do with the flour. There is full of bugs in your flour and we did not believe the people about it and so l see that is true. What shall we do with it, and is there some cause about it, and we have it in a good dry place, and I did not think about it so we do believe it. We had bought flour from 's and kept it or 6 full months and it did not turn into such things as that. What will we do with it sir, or send it back, or not come and look about it. There was some reasing about it. It is some old flour Try a Want-Ad in The Sun.
