SHOW NAMED FOR A VALLEY
Word Vaudeville" Are Ignorant
Of Its Origin.

The Fairest Lady turned TO her es.
cort at the variety show the other
night during the lntermissiOn and
asked him where the word 'vaude-
vile" came from anyway.
Movies" Is simple, she said. Any
one can trace the origin of the word
coined by Young America and now
generally used. The British cinema"
applied TO cinematograph pictures Is
also easily traced.
II wasn't until next day that the es.
cort. who had pretended not to hear
the Falrest Lady's question about
vaudeville. got 4 chance to look II up.
Then he found that the word came
from the French "val de vire"-a val.
ley Ia Normandy where originated
many humorous and satirical drinking
songs that became popular all over
France-known by the name OF the
place OF their origin. Eventually the
word became corrupted TO "vaude.
vile" and was applied to a certain
kind OF popular song. Its application
was limited to such songs until tbs
end OF the Eighteenth century. when
IL began TO refer also to an entertain.
ment that included singing and dia.
iogue as well as dancing and variety

Al a rule orangoutangs. the fiercea

tanned before they are shipped to Eu.

these animals that arrived in London
came with the best OF characters. He
was considered q very tame. steady
going creature, and an expert was en-
gagged to photograph him.
The man entered the orang's cage
as lie had entered many others. He
had not exposed many plates before
he saw that the animal was intent on
mischief He WAS a very powerful
beast. and the man would have stood
no chance at all II the ornng had at

The mans only chance was TO use
the camera as weapon. Making a
sign to the keeper 10 keep silent, the
photographer pointed his hand Gamers
at the orang and with slow and steady
step approached him. The keeper was
outside the door ready TO open 1t; but
neither Of them uttered a sound. The
photographer was relieved to see the
orang gradually retreat and at the
same time TO be able TO rise from the
crouched and menacing position he
had taken. Once the creature was on
the move the man knew he had
chance. He succeeded In working the
orang around to the corner furthest
from the door. which the keeper had
silently and slowly opened. Still point
ing his camera at the beast the man
very slowly backed out Of the cage,
the door was slammed to and he was

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS

Colorado Associations Record of Re-
suits on One.fiftieth Of Amount
Recommended.

Colorado spent for anti-tuberculosis
work only cents per capita this year,
or one.fiftieth of the amount which the
National tuberculosis Association re
CARDS as adequate to afford proper pro-
lection against the great White Plague.
This fact has been brought out in an
article by James II. Pershing. president
Of the Colorado Tuberculosis Associa-
tlon, In the current issue of the Colo
RADIO Manufacturer and Consumer.
This association, with Its branches,
is the only body carrying on intensive
educational effort against tuberculosis
In this state, according TO no less an
authority than Doctor r. L. Drinkwa-
ter secretary of the Colorado State
Board OF Health, in q recent address
before the State Conference Of Social
Workers Doctor Drinkwater depiored
the fact that the appropriation for his
board is so small that ii permits of no
division of tuberculosis, but he paid a

but II they were around burros awhile
like he was when he ran a burro train

One OF the burros fell down lb

much when they started out again.
For months afterward that critteI

any more. but he still had hopes until

Arab Puts Comfort FIrst.

The beautiful villas that remain In
Algeria are Moorish villas. for the
Arab does not care for things artistic
and comfortable that other races Of
the earth demand. II he were given a
house he would first remove the doors
and burn them; he would next drive
a hook into the facade to hitch his
mule to. and then he would abandon
the chimney-place inside the house
and build his fire In the middle OF the
room. defiling all the walls with
smoke. His personal ideas OF comfort
come first.
The Algerians are not like the
French. They are different In man.
