EXPLAINS ORIGIN OF 4lAzz"
AZ Last the Secret CD Is Given to the
World, and by an English
man, Too.

Writing about the Jazz reminds me
that the subject is of>gueh Importance
that a long cablegram was recently
sent from London concerning the ORR
gin Of the word. According to the
cablegram, the secret is out, and It is
an Englishman who gives US the valu-
able information.
He tells US that while Englishmen
should not be held responsible for the
vernacular of their brethren In the
Western continent, the word jazz, he
admits, is now as much a household
word in England as in America. And
then he goes on to say that the word
came from the South and from the ne
groes. Now in the South, he tells us,
there is a germ known as the hook
worm, which affects all true southern
ers. Some unkind employers call It
'loafer-itis." The white employer, ac-
cOrdlng to the erudite Englishman, in
the South has many thousands Of ne
groes working for him, and cOnse-
Ouently many Overseers. So, not being
able to remember the names of all his
fOremen, he generally names each man
Jasper which, according to this Eng
lishman. is a term Of the highest es-
TEEN. Through the very human love
Of abbreviatiOn, Jasper became "Jas,"
and as the overseer's principal means
Of getting work out of his underlings
is through harsh and abusive tongue,
he was often requested to "Jass up"
the work. The Southern drawl makes
'Jass'' sound Ike "Jazz," And there
we have the word Itself And jazz
music, no matter what classic-loving
critics may say about IT, at least In
spires energy. Hence the derivation.
Musical America.

It is from the families of the farm
ers and from the parsonage itself that
new preachers come, according, to a
survey now being taken by the Ameri-
can education department of the Inter
church World Movement The farms
lead. The survey shows that out of
every thousand pupils who enter the
first grade Of our American schools,
only 80 enter college and only IA re-
main to complete the course.
It is from these IA that the churches
recruit the great majority of their
ministers. It is also disclosed by the
survey that 1t requires about 5000 new
men every year merely to replace the
gaps in the ranks Of the ministry at

ACE LIMIT MAY BE FACTOR
IN SELECTING JUDGE

It is not likely that announcement
will be made by Senator Mcclellan
and Senator Shields regarding the
applicant they decide to give their
endorsement for the federal Judge
ship, states the Memphis Scimitar of
August %. Senator Mcclellan prob
ably will make his recommendation
to the president next week when he
reaches Washington and doubtless
the identitv of the choice of the sena-
tors will first be revealed when an
announcement Of the appointment is
made, provided the president acts on
their suggestion.
The serious doubt of confirmation
in December. following the presiden-
tial election, in the event the Demo
cratic candidate is unsuccessful, has
caused some of Senator McKellar's
friends to suggest him for the place,
but he is in no sence a candidate.
Representative FINS Garrett. mem
Der Of Congress from the Ninth dis
trict. also has been mentioned in con-
nection with the position, but he.
likewise. is not an aspirant for the
place.
But even if Senator Mcclellan and
Representative Garrett felt differ
emily toward the place there are con-
stitutional prohibitions against their
accepting it. The federal constitu-
ton provides that no member of Con-
gress shall accept a position, the
emoluments of which were increased
during their term Of office, Some
time ago the pay Of the federal judge
for West Tennessee was increased by
Congress from $4,000 to $500 a
year. Senator Mcclellan and Repre-
sentative Garrett were members Of
the Congress that increased the pay.
They aref therefore, not eligible.
Some Of the other applicants are
basing their hope that the lightning
will strike them on the theory that
the department has tradition that
appointees to federal iudgeship must
be not under 45 years old or over
SIS. If this is the rule quite num-
Der Of the applicants regarded as the
most available would be eliminated.
Before inquiry was made into the
age rule it is understood that Sena-
tor Mcclellan offered to endorse T.
k. Riddick. Mr.. Riddick peremp-
torally turned it down. He is said
to be above the age limit Of IS years,
which is to say that he is older than
he feels. Among the applicants
under AZ are Hillsman Taylor, Of
Trenton: w. H. Swiggart. Jr. Of
Union Civ; Marion Evans and John
D. Martin, of Memphis. There is
no law on the subject of age limit
and perhaDs Senator Mcclellan and
Senator Shields will not regard the
rule in making their recommends
ton.
However. some of the friends Of
the lawyers who come within the
prescribed are rule are using the
argument AGAINST the other appli-
cants with the hope that their can
didate will benefit thereby. Just how
inflexible the-Fu'e is no one seems to
know, even if it exists. but the sena-
tors are not likely to let few wears
stand in the way Of their endorse
ment if they agree on the man they
wantfor the place.

that a series OF grave agricultural
