THE ROMANCE OF WORDS


TINE only apparent connection
l. between a person who II
obsessed with a certain idea, an
eccentric, and the piece Of ma
chinery bearing the same name
Is that both OF them are crooked
the one mentally and the 9TH
er physically. But Dom Piatt.
who first used the word In Its
current sense, sensed another
connection between the two.
Horace Greeley" he stated.
in the course of ono Of his In
vectives against the famous ed
itor, 'fs like the crank Of q
hand-organ-continually grinding
out the same old tunes" In ad-
dition to being cleveriy phrased.
the comparison appealed to the
opponents Of Greeley as being
particularly truthful and the
smile was quoted throughout
the country. In the course Of
time 1t was separated from its
original connection with Greeley
and applied to anyone whose
hobby bordered upon the ridic-
ulous or even the insane. The
question Of sanity being a very
delicate one-as may be seen by
a comparison Of the expert alien
lists at any tr1al-the word filed
long-felt gap and provided a
semi-humorous appellation which
could not be construed al libel

Two million people swing golf clubs every week in this country.
 They own from 10,0OO,OOO to 16,OO0,000 drivers, putters, bras sies, midirons, etc.
 More than 25.000,0OO feet of 32 different kinds of wood are cut each year for sport purposes.
 Hickory is the best golf club handles. Persimmon and dog wood are the best for heads.
 The wood used for golf clubs, ball bats, tennis racquets, would build whole street of cottages. But the investment in wood .sr sports is worth while.
