Derivation Of Flannel

Some of the earlier philologists
claim that the word flannel was
originally written and pronounced
"tlannen," and that 1t was essentially
of Welsh origin. being derived from
the Welsh "gwlanan," wool. but this
derivation Is considered doubtful by
more modern photographers. who re-
gard It's derivation from the Danish
"flanel." old French "hanelle,' or the
Italian t'fanella," as more probable.

London, Feb. 25.-NIore books are

in the history of publishing says John
Murray, widely known publisher. The
average is better than it was 80 or 40
years ago" he added. Great numbers
of people have contracted a feverish
desire to write novels but many of
them have no real knowledge of the
authors craft, and are sadly unequal
to the task they undertake. Any sue
cessful novel now seems to call into
existence a veritable host of aspirants
who are fired TO emulate the happy
author.
Two vital qualities which are often
lacking III the novelist of today, are a
sense of humor. and really clever
working out of the plot.
1T is too early yet TO say what will
be the effect of the war on fiction.
''Recextly there has been tendency
for novelists to deal with sex prob

this is a passing phase. My expert
ence is that the wholesome novel

MUCH POVERTY
IN PORTO RICO
SPECIAL AGENT OF EMPLOY
MENT SERVICE REPORTS MANY
EVIL LABOR CONDITIONS.

New York. Feb 25.--A living wage
and development of Industries ON
large scale is needed TO Danish the
most intoIelable conditions under
which the immense IandIess popula-
tiun of Porto Rico have labOred for
centuries, Joseph Marcus, special
agent of the United States Employ
ment Service. declares in a report IS
sued by the Department of Labor. The
investigator reported that lack of en-
ployment for a large part Of the peo-
pie. intermittlucy Of occupation and
small wages have brought about
critical situation on the island.
The Porto Rican laborer looks to
the United States with its enlighten-
mcut and leadership in humanitarian
ideals to rescue him, the Marcus re-
port stated. Both the government and
the American Federation of Labor are
being appealed to, it was explained.
But before the industries can be
expected to enter the Porto Rican field
shipping facilities must be increased,
with fast steamers in service; a
branch of the Federal Reserve Bank
must be instituted on the island, and
there must be more independent, land
owning farmers. according to the re-
port Then, with a big export bust
ness, work may be provided for all
at fair wages Now Huen a labOrer
is working he and his family share
a breakfast of only black coffee, a
luncheon of rice and beans, rice and
Goldfish. or Goldfish and plaintains, and
n dinner the same as luncheon, it was
stated.
The Porto Rican is beginning to de-
mand better living conditions, Mr..
Marcus reported. Strikes. organized
and supported by the Free Federation
of Labor which is affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor, take
place frequently
In Aguadilla, one of Porto Rico's
principal towns. characterized as the
"strtke breakers district" ands the
"poorest section OF the island" in
stances abound where families eat
only once q day and have meat but
once in year the report said, adding
that about 80 per cent. of the popu
lation in the district have tubercu-
losis. HooIworm and other tropical
diseases abound throughout the entire
country.
Describing the "jibaro" or mountain
dwellcr and principal factor in the
labor problem of Porto Rico, since he
constitutes nearly so per cent, of the
population. the Marcus report sums
up the situation as follows:
The iibarO is still living in the
same environment under which his
ancestors lived one or two hundred
years ago. He builds his little shack
on land that does not belong to him.
and he works, when work is to be had.
on the nearest cane, coffee or tobacco
plantation. His dress consists of a
pair Of white trousers, a white shirt.
and a straw hat. His wife and chill
drcu are clad as poorly as he is; and
none OF them wear shoes.
