distinctly free from wcighty and scicn-

A further view OF that time, cs-
pecially on the II. c. Of l.. in the early
fortles. just prior to the gold rush

the three companies to be located in Pueblo cavalry,

WHY2
DO WE CALL FOR "THREE CHEERS
AND TIGER.


Copyright, 1921. by the Wheeler Syn
dicatc, Inc.
Tho connection between the word
tiger" as applied to tho loud yell at
the end of the conventional three
cheers and tho name Of the animal
itsolf. is not apparent until We dig back
into the history OF the custom and find
that II originated in Massachusetts,
during the carly part OF the last cen
tury.
In 1872. the Boston Ligh. Infantry.
under Captain Macintosh, visited
Washington Square During their stay
sports and on one occasion "A spectat-
or chanced to call out to one OF the
soldiers who was particularly rough.
You're n tiger" The simile appealed
to the men, became catchword in the
regiment, and. some months later. the
tiger growl' was adopted as the Of
ficial cry OF the organization.
In 1926 the Light Infantry visited
New York. and while there. gave the
tiger Erowr' at one of the public fes-
,ivities in which II took part. Tho Pc
culiar form OF yen pleased tho fancy
Of those who werc watching the drill,
and II was not long before IT was nd-
opted throughout tho city. and the eN-
preston. three cheers and tiger"
came into general use. though in later
years It grew to mean any additional
or moro emphatic cheer.

Wow in its figurative as well as it's

English form OF the word is tho Latin
Capella. the diminutivc OF Capn, "a cloak

apparent lack of similarity between the
two terms Is that oaths were formerly
made on Cloaks Of this kind and that
later the namo "capclln' was trans
frrrod to the room or sanctuary whore
tho "capella" was kept. and thence to
any sanctuary containing relics or any
other objects relating to religion.
Skeap is also of this opinion, sup
porting 1t by the statement that tho

that the modern word chapel" is the
descendant of the old French Capcle
