AND THEN HERSELF
MES YOUNG WOMAN AS
CAUSE OF HER TROUBLE.
WANTS WORLD TO KNOW.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-Mrs. F.
D. Query shot and fatally injured her
husband at their home here late to-
day and then committed suicide.
The woman died instantly, while
Guerry died shortly afterwards in a
hospital
Mrs. Query left a note with in
structions for the care of her 6-year-
old child and named another young
woman as the cause of her domestic
All the parties are well-knoWn here.
In the note Mrs. Query stated she
fully realized what she was about to
do and wanted the world to know
that the young woman named was re-
sponsible Query was employed by a
local branch of an automobile tire con-
Germ.
Query was the son OF the late Judge
James H. Query, formerly of Daw-
son, Ga, and was a widely known
Georgia jurist. He leaves three broth
ers, all we'll known in this state. The
four of them had only last Thursday
attended the funeral of their mother at
Arcadia.
Mrs. Query was formerly of Chi
cago, where she married Query eight
years ago.
Only two shots were fired by the
woman, one entering Guerry's left ear
while the second, directed at herself,
took effect in her left temple.
The young woman involved and her
parents were almost hysterical as a
result of the affair. The young woman
declared there had been nothing more
than a playful Irritation between them
and that it had been conducted in the
presence of Mrs. Query.

they were good. The process is said to
be entirely new.

Leglonnalres Are Rushing to Pay 1921

The 10000 post adjutnnts Of the

selves now in the busiest weeks Of the
years as regards work.
The rush Of LeglonnaIres to get in

clerical and other detail work onto

To Judge by the returns thus far
available, the list Of men to be dropped

WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Former Service Men Inclined to Be
Too Modest in Appearing In
Army logs.

Former service men are too modest
to appear In uniform ,on special occa-
sions, according to letter from q
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
"Armlstice day brought with 1t some
new revelations Of viewpoint on the
wearing of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations, and, inasmuch as In
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, l believe the
question should be settled now, one
way or the other. am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
bunch does.
"Since their discharge the majority
Of both officers and enlisted pcn have
shown more than little hesitancy In
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Le-
gion is not manifest In any parade
when the majority of the men appear
in civilian clothes and handful march
In uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man is In an embarrassing pO-
sitlOn, and he VOWS: Never againP /
think modesty Is responsible for most
mems preference for 'civvies' on formal
occasions, but know that some argue
that they do not want to be In uniform

II am sure there is not an ey-officer
in the Legion who would not willingly
discard his insignia If It operated as O
barrier to harmony. But let's have q

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
NEWS"

DOPULAR etymology, which
l. is akin to "fireside law"
states that the word news" is
derived from the initials Of the
-four points of the compass
North, East, West and South
and that the weather-vane SYM
Dol was placed at the top Of a
number Of the earlier newspa-
pers to indicate that they col
lected their information from
all parts Of the earth. The lat
ter statement may be true. but
the former can hardly be credit
ed for the reason that the word
news" was used by Shake
spcnre some fifty years or more
before the publication of the
first newspaper.
A study Of the equivalent
word In German and other Ian
guages will further show the
fallacy of the compass-theory.
The Teutonic word is neuigkelt-
en- and the French nouvelles and
1t is impossible for either one
Of these to he derived from the
points Of the compass which. in
the two languages. are repre-
SERTED by the letters IN. o. w.
s." and IN. +. q. s." The Ger
man tlns neue appears to be
much closer TO the English
news" but the word was
really derived from the Anglo.
Saxon nlwes, as clearly indicat-
ed by Berner'S translation Of
Frolsslrt, published in 1900, In
which 1t is spelled "newes."
