LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR
English Newspaper Comments on Ad-
dition of American Slang to the
Ordinary Vocabulary.

An enterprising publishing firm has
issued a postwar English dictionary
which processes to contain words that
came into use during the war. It
might have saved some perplexity on
the part of the. Willesden magistrate
who was told by a witness last week
end that man in the case was "all
poshed up" and that a certain turn of
events put the kybOsh on him."
"POshed up" recalls dreadful things
to the demObilized man, for how many
weary hours has he not spent in
"pOshing up" for parades and inspec-
tiOns? To "pOsh up" means, of
course, to make oneself look smart.
In civilian life it means specklesslv
polished boots, starched collar. neat
~ pressed trousers carefully brushed
hair, and a shining morning face. In
the army it meant buckles, buttons
and cap badge polished to distraction
leather equipment with a superglOss
and well "blancoed" haversack and
valise (khaki color, of course). And
for the man warned for guard" be-
mind the lines or in camp at home
there was always the hope that by
'poshing up" to the nth degree he
might escape duty, the prize awarded
by the inspecting officer to the smart
est man paraded. AS for "kybosh."
the word is familiar enough to the
music-hall public. The extinguisher
puts the "kybOsh" on the candle, and
the allies, in the words of a wartime
song put the kybosh on the kaiser"

ROME TAKES BACK ITS OWN
DGnsIitlsn of Pretentious German
Embassy in Eternal City Has
Deep Significance.

Today on the CapitOline, the small
est geographically, but historically the
most important of the famous seven
hills of Rome. there is the sound of
hammering, the fall of masonry. Here
for many centuries. was centered the
religious and political activity of the
Roman empire. and here in the last
half century Germany had established
herself imperially residentially. In
the PalazzO Caffarelli. built near the
site of the great temple Of Jupiter
consecrated in B. G. 500, was the Ger
man embassy. with the throne of thu
emperor of Germany. Near at hand
was the German Archaeological insfi-
tute, within its garden the famous
Tarpeian rock, to be visited of recent
years only by obtaining the key of the
gate from the German authorities. On
the piazza, ROmuluS is said to have
founded his asylum and here in the
centuries before the Christian era. as
in the middle ages, Rome had the seat
OF her government. 1t was here that
from house to house, from terrace to
terrace, Germany up to the year 1914
was steadily spreading her domains.
The statue of Marcus Aurelius by
Michael Angelo was in the piazza of
the CapitOline so also were those Of
Constantine and his son, but there
was room for others. Today, however.
the Palazzo Caffarelli with it's six
teenth-century architectural beauties,
and its TeutOnic decorations, is being
removed from the capital in carts. The
authorities have decided that this sew
enth hill of Rome belongs to the past
of Italy and they seek beneath the
floors Of the German embassy further
foundations of the great temple OF
Jupiter built by Tarquin the superb.
that other last of the kings.

Enormous Demand for Furs.

Siberian furs are almost entirely
shipped in the raw state. Very few
furs are sent abroad, the exceptions
being Tibetan lamb, muffin (plucked
goat skin), and few other varieties.
The great demand for furs in all cOun-
tries and the keen competition in the
trade has sent up the prices of raw
furs to figures unheard of a few years
ago. Sables have enormously increased
in value, due to the short supply and
the closure of the Russian sable mar
kets.

Cork FABRIC.

Not $" long ago we saw IA dc-erlp-
non In q foreign paper Of fabric
which was made from cork by n re-
Gently discovered French process. II
was said To Ice waterproof. non-con-
ductnr of heat and unbeatable. BY
using a special machine, thin slices OF
cork are placed IN chemical baths to
remove the resinous parts which
mike cork more or less brittle. Upon
the removal Of the resin the sheets
Of cork become flexible and may be
compared iE that respect with leather.
In fact the sheets may be folded and
bent without breaking. by combining
the cork sheets with any suitable
cloth. preferably thin and strong
cloth Of good color. an excellent
waterproof material may be obtained
According to she description given al
adhesive preparation is employed to
glue the cork to the cloth: or II n
stronger garment is desired. the cork
sheets are placed between two layers
Of cloth.

USED TOBACCO AS INCENSE
They Burned the Fragrant Weed"
to Their Gods.

Smoking was a habit acquired by
European nations from the Indians
of America. In 1892 Columbus found
them using tobacco. not as is now
done, but as an incense burned in
honor of their deity.
Tobacco smoking began as re-
ligious rite. Tobacco was used by the
Indians much as oriental nations made
use Of nyrrh or frankincsnce In their
religious observances. Noyagers TO
America after Columbus revealed DIFF
ferent customs in the tobacco habit.
1t was discovered that In certain parts
of the continent the natives inhaled
the incense until they became exhll-
arated or even intoxicated by the
fumes This meant for them that they
derived inspiration from the good
pleasure Of their deity. The honor
paid TO the deity came back upon them
In exhilarating profusion.
From that step was not far to as
certain that incense offered tO god
could be employed as a medicine. II
was drawn into the mouth through a
hollow tube-a kind Of pipe-and
then expelled as smoking. To the ra-
tionalizlng European 1t was left to
transmit the poor Indians worship into
an ordinary pleasurable habit.

There Is no good In argument with
the Inevitable. The only argument
available with an east wind Is to put

In Samuel Buffers Notebook, which
holds much common sense. is an entry
to the point:

very brief summary he said:
Even as all trades of life make
a business of taking stock at
