THE ORIGIN OF "BoCHE"

(Albert Danzot in the Bookman)
 The origin Of Roche is obscure. There used to be current in Paris and other large cities in France the phrase tete de boche, which signified obstinate or hard headed. In France the Germans have the reputation of being tetes dures thard heads). hence tetes de boche. To describe this quality they were called Allemand -boche, which be- boche. Alboche and finally just Boche. Whatever it's origin. it is used as a term of reproach. The Germans them selves take it very seriously.

Almost untold thousands Of people
are suffering the pangs Of cold and
hunger in nearly every country Of tbs
Near East-Armenia, Syria, Greco,
and other countries--as result Of the
world war,
I America IS going TO the rescue. in
fact is already there with tender hands
and money to buy the supplies neces-
sary, but more money is needed and
the American Committee for Relief in
the Near East will begin campaign
to raise $30,000,000 January IL. OF
this amount Vermont is to raise s60,-
600 and before Saturday night Of this
week the organization for this work
will have been completed.
Roland +. Stevens of White River
Junction is the state chairman. He
has appointed county chairmen, who
have named the chairmen for the
towns and cities and these chairmen
have appointed the soliciting commit
tees.
The campaign will last one week.
OF all the causes to which Vermont
has given, none is more deserving or
urgent than this, and every contrib
utor to the fund may rest happy with
the assurance that his contribution
will be fully expended to allay the
sufferings of deserving peoples.
The American committee includes
many of the most prominent men of
the country, among them being Will
liam Howard Taft, Charles f. Hughes,
Cardinal Gibbons, Henry Mongenthau,
John X. Mott and Oscar S. Strauss.
This campaign is endorsed by Pres
ident Wilson, who urges the people Of
America to be generous in their aid to
suffering humanity in the Near East.
1t is estimated that 100000 Armen-
ian, Syrian, Greek and other sufferers
require immediate help. The vast ma
jority of them are helpless women and
children.
To such a cause Vermonters will
cheerfully give, and let it be said that
the old Green Mountain state fulfilled
her quota of 100000 in much less than
the allotted time.
Any citiZen-man or woman-who
is not called upon to give to the cause
early next week may send contribu-
tions to Roland E. Stevens, State
Chairman, White River Junction, VT.
Every worker in the cause is expect
ed to be energetic. Every minute
spent in this campaign should be a

"Happy'' Cars
DE Bear Finds a Phrase to Fit
a Present Tendency

Il never have seen such an interest
as there is among buyers in specially
painted automobiles" says Harry T. De
Bear, manager of the Maxwell -Chal-
mcrs branch. "This began some weeks
ago, and every day I find it increasing.
Among our prospects this development
has become pronounced. At first I
gave it little attention, thinking the
demand for special paint jobs, special
body finishes and the like was simply
one Of those developments that wave
along through the business every now
and then.
"Now am beginning to sec what
causes it. 1t is an expression of the
subconscious happiness of the people
because OF the successful conclusion Of
the war. Everybody is happy, Of
course. current of happiness runs
through men as electricity would
"Therefore, many men and women
find themselves wanting things of color
and they themselves could not define
for you just what it is within them, in
their spirit, that impels them to the
desire. Men and women Just naturally
seek something else besides the con-
vcntional blacks and dark blues. They
want happy cars-everybody seemingly
wants happy automobile"
