The Origin of Two-bits

| To Northern and Eastern peu-
pie the term two bits" sounds
! very much like slang and quite
provincial, but to Southerners and
in certain parts of the West, it is
the best of idiomatic English,
where "a quarter" is seldom
heard, and six bits comes much
elsier than "seventy-five cents".
The word "bit'' was used in this
sense about 1892 when the Spain
ish miIied dollar was the unit of
money in the South ami u piece of
silver that happened to be coined
under Spanish authority for a!'xi-
co about this same time. represent
ing the eighth part Of dollar,
was called Il real" after the
name Of a coin in Spain, Of the
same value as the early American
Shilling.
When the ''fcrty-niners" went
to California, they found like the
WHO came in contact
with Mexico, that dos reales"
was the equivalent of two shill-
ings, or a quarter which America
never learned to say, but Ameri-
canized that amount by saying
''two-bits.

embracing the town Of Natchitoches,
were given the opportunity recently of
deciding whether or not to tax them
selves for $160, 600 Of bonds for i'm

The authorization of the bond issue
means particularly that Natchitoches
will be equipped with handsome and
up TO- date high school building.

which the value Of schools is fully
appreciated. Journal

Holiday Consolidation

The Lafayette Gazette calls on
the American Legion posts to ask
the next legislature session or the
constitutional convention to make
"Armistice Day" legal holiday
In Louisiana. It seems to have
been observed generally in Louisi-

islative fiat. In view of the grow
ing hostility all over the country
to the further multiplication of
holidays, however. why wouldn't
it be a good idea to observe Nov.

Clothing Pickets Guilty
of Disorderly Conduct
Magistrate SuspentIs Sentence
OF Four and Dismisses Two
Accused Of Assault

SIX members of the Amalgamatcd
Clothing Workers of America, which is
engaged in conflict with the New York
Clothing Manufacturers Association.
were arraigned yesterday before Magis-
trate Douras in Essex Market court.
-FOUR were charged with disorderlv
conduct and found guilty, but sentence
was suspended. The other two. charged
with assault, were dismissed.
Those charged with disorderly con-
Duct were on picket duty in front of
lhe shop OF j. Friedman in East Hous-
ton Street when arrested. The com
plalnant was the policeman who made
the arrest. He testified that the four
men persisted in walking up and down
IN front of the shop after he had told
them that not more than two pckets
could operate in front of a store.
The other two Amalgamated workers
were arrested on complaint of tailor
named Greenberg, a non-union man.
ne went to shop in East Thirtieth
Street yesterday morning for work. He
was met by eight men who took him
IN an automobile to the Amalgamat,d
Headquarters in Fourth Street. As he
got out of the machine he was badly
beaten. He left and returned later
with a policeman and identified Phjlip
Epstein and Anton Kowaloff as two
OF the men who had assaulted him.
They told the court they had never
seen GreenberC before
