WHY /?
why Are -Aprleots. So Namedi
Copyright. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.

Why Are AprIeots' 50 Namedt
To refer 10 an inf1nt prodigy as an
apricot" might be taken as the latest
form of slang and. BY those who are
ignorant of the derivation of the name
of the fruit, would doubtless be at
tackled on the ground that il consti-
tuted an attempt to poison the springs
of the language. But just as. black
mali can be etymologically-if not
ogieally-applied 70 the acceptance of
farm produce in place of cash, "apri-
cot" can truly be regarded as a
synonym for anything precocious.
The old English spelling .apricockH
gives hint of the relationship ex-
isting between the name of the fruit
and the last two syllables of the word
'.prec3cious" and. as a matter of fact.
they are derived from the same
souree-the low Greek praikokion,
which is nothing more than the Latin
praecox. meaning "early ripe" The
apricot tree. in its original habit of
Armenia, flowers very early in the
spring and. because of this, the fruit
was given the name derived from the
Latin or Greek adjective. f.Aprieot. =
shersfere, may be regarded as direct
derivative OF the root-word. while
precocfous'' is indirectly or symbol
cslly derived.

THE wEATHERC0CK AND
THE WIND

The Weathercock on top of a pole
ON the barn was swinging about as
the wind blew il back and forth. How
tirasome you arel" said the Cock.
Mr.. Wind. did it ever occur to YOU to
blow your bothersome breath in an
other direction
VERY WE'LL sHily laughed Mr.. Wind
shat is the way I blow, but il you do
not like my way / viii be off and
send my brother; he blows in another
direction"
Before the Weathercock could reply
Mr.. Wind hustled away and in a few
minutes his brother Was there swing
ing the Cock another way. But this
the Cock did not like, either. "Oh,
dear; / do wish you tiresome Wind
brothers would be off and stay away.
