The Romance Of Words

SCORE"
Copyright, 1921, By The Wheeler Syn
diclte, lnc)
THE days Of our age are three
score years and ten," says tho Psalm
ist, and this translation OF the original
Hebrew is figurativo rather than
literal, for the word ''scoro" itself was
not born until Anglo-Saxon times, be-
ing the past participle OF the verb
scaren, to cut, and indicated a notch
or incision on a stick for the purpose
of keeping an account. This primitive
system of figuring was in vogue in
England as late as the last century.
for it was the destruction of the tally
sticks, with their many scores-or
records of twenty notches-which
caused tho great fire that destroyed
the houses OF parliament.
Shakespeare refers to the same sys-
TEN when he says, in Henry VIZ.
our forefathers had no other book
but the score and the tally" and 1t is
also easy to see that the expression
ito pay off old scores" is not only to
meet old debts, but also to revenge
grievances which have made a last
ing impression, for the number twenty
was der=tGd on the tally sticks by a
notch longer and deeper than the
others.

A Queer Looking Performance.

The recent controversy between government Off
cias and the Western Union Telegraph company has
queer look and certainly requires careful investigation
According to the statement by officials of the COM
pany in its annual report the government has acted
with gross unarness toward the company in the matter
of proposed extension Of cable lines to South America
If these statements true, those lines greatly
needed for the extension of American trade with South
America and the company in forwarding those extern
sions not only within the range of its proper busi-
ness activities but serving a important ma
tiona need well. The reasonable suppostion from
the companys statements that the officers of the
government acting in the interests of rival tee-
graph company and serving the interests of foreign
government rather than those of the United States
On the other hand, if the officers of the govern
ment acting properly, the Western Union has been
in position not far removed from open defiance of the
authority of the United States The controversy has
gone beyond the limits of business dispute such
might properly be carried by great corporation
engaged in international and the government
of the nation to which the company loyalty and
obedience If the Western Union has suffered from
gross abuse of power that company has been guilty
least of serious contempt of government and whether
such offense punishable under federal law not,

asserts that II is the inalienahle right
of women to make herself just as at

is morally ruined by lips:.ck and silk
stockings has no soul worth saving
anyway, and that most OF tho reform
ers who attack feminine dress arc old
ladies'. in spirit II not in fact, who arc
envious OF blooming youth.
They assert that the modern flapper
has done nothing less than to add 10

learning how TO make herself attrac-
tive. You have only to look at some
old pictures. they say. to realize what
