ORIGINATED in DAINTY VERSE
Expression That 10 Considered Slight
iy Vulgar Today Traced to
Poet cowper.

Some of the crudest expressions in
the English tongue had their origin
In poetry, and even religious COM
mands. Among these the phrase. Ito
60 the whole hog" is striking ex-
ample. Today it is looked upon as
vulgarism. Yet the words were OBJ
tanned directly from a poem by Cow
per. whose title is the pretty term,
Love of the World Reproved." The
poem is the versifying of an Arabian
story that seems well founded in fact.
Mohammed in giving forth his laws
declared that certain part of the pig
should not be eaten, but he forgot to
mention just what part it was that
he thought unclean. His followers, to
make sure of not violating his COM
mands, debarred the whole pig. AS
there were many. however, who were
dearly fond of pork. they met and
agreed that one would eat the steaks,
one the chops, one the feet. and so on,
until the whole pig had been eaten,
and thus but one of the feasters could
be made to suffer for the sin. AS Cow
per says: "They thought it hard from
the whole pig to be debarred." and
adds: with sophistry, their sauce
they sweeten, till quite from tail to
snout, tits eaten"

THIS GRAIN TRULY "G0LDEN'
How Discovery Of Prolific Gold Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
Of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time is in the
Kolar district (Mysore state) of India.
Discovery of 1t was made in a curious
way.
In prosperous years. when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravelly
soil. lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
whitewater.
The strange occurrence, at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the gravels Of the valley were
rich iii8f f,ld, brought down from the
mountaiI. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply of the yellow metal.

Wars of the United States.

A stray paragraph on WARS of the
United States" enumerates nineteen
wars. Ten of these were conflicts
with Indian tribes, of which the most
important were probably the Black
Hawk war and the Seminole war. II
these are called wars, an eleventh
might be added-the Modoc war of
1873. The important wars on the list
are the War of the Revolution, the
War of 1912. the Mexican war. the
Civil war, the Spanish war, the wa.

included in the list are: The war with
France. 1898; the war with Tripoli,

CRIME WAVE IS
DUE TO SUGAR
SAYS DOCTOR
PUBLIC HEALTH MAN ASSERTS
SUGAR SHORTAGE, DUE TO
PROHIBITION, HAS INFLU-
ENCE ON CRIMINALS.

Asserting that the sugar shortage
in this country is due to prohibition
and threatens to become acute, DR..
S. Dana Hubbard, director of the bu-
reau of public health Of the health de.
partment, New York, issued an APP
peal for careful conservation of sugar
and all its accessories, including
candy and beverages.
DR.. Hubbard points out that the
greatly increased demand seems to be
due to the fact that sugar acts as a
substitute stimulant for those who
have been accustomed to drinking al
coholic beverages. Certainly, he as
serted, the sugar demand has jumped,
since the advent of prohibition, in Il
manner that can not satisfactorily be
explained in any other way.
A serious sugar shortage, Dr.
Hubbard contends, will result in a
marked increase in drug addiction, as
some form of stimulant seems to be
necessary to the majority of persons.
Such an increase in drug addiction, he
added. would mean greater wave of
the more serious character of crimes.
such as hold-ups, burglaries and
murders
''The consumption of sugar in TIE
United States" Dr. Hubbard con-
tinues, averages annually 100000
tons. In 1919 this was increased to
100000 tons. The average per cap
tia for five-year period was 10
pounds, but through prohibition and
the public resorting to soft stuff,
this per capita has increased to %
pounds. If continued this will make
the United States consume one-quar-
ter of the worlds entire production
of sugar.
ave know that this can not con-
tinue because production can not pos
sibly meet such an enormous de-
mand There will be a much more
serious shortage and if persons can
not get their soft drinks, chocolate
bars and other sweets, they naturally
will resort to some other form of
stimulation This may be followed
by an increase in narcotic drug ad-
diction among the young and unin-
formed, which would be a great ca
lamity.
81 earnestly urge the public to cx-
ercise conservation of all sweets.
Even nov it will require at least one
whole additional sugar crop to meet
the increased demand"

FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1920

Switchmen at many points of the
division points over the whole coun-
try have been on strike. Just what
their grievance is does not seem to
be plain. The strike has been said
to be an insurgent movement, not
having the sanction Of the regular or
CARNATIONS, nor the sympathy of the
brotherhoods. We believe in letting
the men go their own course as long
as the rights of others are not in
frnged upon. The switchmen must
have some just cause for the strike.
Otherwise no great number would
strike. This is season of the year
when strike will probably cause
less loss to others than any other
time, for there is no great crop or
fuel movement on and the heartless
element that some times is so evil
dent in tying up of traffic, is not so
real. But it would surely be grand
accomplishment if some means of
just settlement were devised; and it
seems to us that this may some time
be accomplished through legislation.
This is matter upon which all may
study. The author Of a lust and
practical solution of labor problems
would assuredly not be without hon
or the world over

bad Sports"
BY DIR. Frank Crane

No, Mr.--, or whatever your
hate you at all.
simply don't want anything to do
with you or your crowd.
And the reason is not that you are
noble martyrs.
II is that you are a lot of bad
sports.
And that is just little lower down
than any other class in American
eyes.
Why do | call you bad sport?
Because you are pceved when you
loose.
This country is wide open to any
reformer that hopes TO function. You
can change our laws if you can get
votes enough. You can confscate the
banks, put the prentice plumbers in
charge of the L. S. Steel Company.
reduce the price of bread to 2 cents
per ton, or do anything else YOU
damned please if you can get votes
enough.
Why break down the door with an
axe when it isn't locked and the latch
string hangs out?
Go ahead. We will try socialism.
or anarchy, or bolshevism, or any
other crazy scheme under the sun. All
you have got to do is to convince the
majority of us. No Gar scares us;
no kaiser prevents us; no capitalistic
class intimidates us. Go on. Say
your spiel.
We have tried lot of fool things
and may try yours.
