that the first would have corrected
anybody who defined him In that way
by saying that he was a soldier. while
the other illustrious two would have
preferred To be called statesmen.
As for Benjamin Franklin. if any
body had called him gentleman, he
would have remarked probably that
he preferred to be printer.
Daniel Webster was entertained at
the Jockey club in Richmond on a
famous occasion. He surprised his
hosts by saying that though born I'm
New Hampshire and senator from
Massachusetts, he could give three
good reasons why he could claim to
be Southern Gentleman" And he
gave these amid a storm of laughter.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TARTAR"

flTARTAR," as applied to
the wild tribes which
inhabit middle and uen-
tral Asia, is one of those words
in which a wrongly assumed
derivation has modified the
spelling and the very shape In
which we now have ii. for the
people usually designated by
this name are not "Tartars."
but "TaterS."
The Interpolation Of the "r''
in the first syllable came about
when these hordes burst into
Europe during the Thirteenth
century and swept everything
before them. Many persons
claimed that the ravages of the
invading cavalry constituted n
fulfillment of the prophecy In
the ninth chapter OF Revelation
concerning the opening of the
bottomless pit and the loosing of
the inhabitants Of the internal
regions. From this belief en-
sued the change of their name
from "Taters" 10 "Tartars." the
latter being an outgrowth of
Tartarus, or hell. whence these
implacable h0rdeS were sup
posed 70 have come.
The bravery of the invaders,
together with their stole diSre-
gard for pain and the manner in
which they turned upon their
guards when captured. also gave
rise 10 the expression catch 4.
Tartar" or "he caught a Tartar"
which is i'm use To this day as
synonym for being taker by
surprise. particularly when a
person thinks that he has made
an easy conquest.

THEATRE SLUMP
 HITS FILM HOUSES

New York. July 14-whi1e theat- rica1 touring managers were sadly
 prophesying yesterday that unless
 wages and other expenses are reduc- ed there will be an extremely slim season, it was made known by the
 Moving Picture Theatre Attendants Union that more than 100 moving picture theatres in Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx may close ind definitely on August l. Members of the union said theatre owners had warned them to expect such action. The Touring Managers Association | of the United States and Canada at | it's annual meeting in the Hotel Astor adopted a resolution creating an | emergency relief fund, which is to be supplemented by a weekly assess ment made on every road attraction used as a guarantee to the members of the organization that in the event
 of difficulties the transportation of l actors back to New York can be | paid.
 John J. Coleman, secretary of the i association, estimated that there will ! be at most only one-fourth of the 1 usual number of companies on tour l auctions unless the situation changes MT. Coleman said that nor normally about 400 companies are on
 tour. He predicts that this year kthere will be less than 100. For in stance" said MT. Coleman. "I have | been told that A. H. Woods, who l usually has 10 or ZU COrnpan1eS on the road, will have only two or three | this season..
 It was estimated three weeks ago by Sam H. Harris that there would
 be only half the usual number of
 musical comedies produced this sea-
 son.
 In connection with the moving pie ture situation, it was stated by the atten6 nts' union that any closing of the film theatres would be due to the i failure of the Exhibitors League to come to an agreement with the union on wages and other matters, prior to . the expiration of their present agree ment.
