COMMUNITY HAS NEW IDEA
Blanket Insurance Practically Cover.
ing Whole Town Is Said to Have
Had Excellent Results.

All the workers employed by the
various Industries located at Kings
port. Tenn, have been insured against
death, sickness and accident under a
single group policy the New York
Times records.
In all about two thousand persons
employed by ten large concerns are
thus protected and as the population
Of the town Of kingsport Is estimated
at about 10000, almost every family
in the community will receive a f.
nancial benefit In case of accident,
sickness or death overtaking one Of
Its bread winning members.
The policy has been in effect for
some months. According to officials
Of the insurance company this is the
first instance known where a whole
community has adopted standard
lied plan of insurance. The expert
ment is attracting the attention of
many other municipalities, especially
public officials who are interested In
community service.
A prominent community worker has
said that tie prospective financial
benefl. to he derived by individuals
under the policy was Of far less i'm
portance than the general good which
has resulted from the quickening of
the conscience Of the whole KIngsport
community.

Another time they stole his specta.

that everything looked so big to him
that he was afraid to move.

LUCRETIA

THROUGH Lucretia was the name
L borne by the notorious daughter
of Borgia, 1t is one Of the quaintest
and most old-fashioned of names in
this country. Ii is a far cry from
ancient Rome to modern New England,
but the name has completed the transit
ton with very few changes to mark
the successful stages of its evolution.
There are two theories among ETY.
mologists in regard to the original
source Of Lucretia. Some contend
that 1t comes from the Latin word Lu-
crum, meaning gain" and for that
reason Lucreta Is said to signify gain.
on the other hand, there is much evil
dence to prove that its real source was
In the Latin word for light lux. Many
feminine names have been derived
from this root and the same word has
supplied surnames without number.
1t is believed, therefore, that the
noted old gems Lucretius from which
Lucretia is directly descended, was
only another of the derivatives of lux.

For a long time after that Grandpa
Fox was very busy every evening, and
II the Squirrel brothers and Tommie
Rabbit had watched they might have
noticed the light burning late In
Grandpa's cabin.
He chuckled as he worked, and
though 1t was very delicate work
Grandpa felt it would be we'll worth
all the trouble and care he was taking.
A basket of big nuts stood on one
side of his chair and from these Grand
pa Fox was very carefully taking all
the meat, leaving the shells In two
pieces, which fitted perfectly together
when empty.
These he filed with pepper-red
pepper too--and then glued the shells
so nicely that even an expert could
not have told they had been opened.
These, Of course, were being pre-
pared especially for the Squirrel

CHIEF SEA SCOUT REPORTS.

At the last national council meet
ing the chief sea scout, James A.
Wilder, made this report:
Eve have found our sea legs. After
some backing and filling as to the
best methods we have, with the adj
vice of some 400 executives, and 9th
ers, settled on the course to be steered,
This decision has steadled the sea-
coast program and the taffrail log be
gins to register more speed. Novem-
Der, 1920, was our banner month, fol.
lowed by the record breakers, Decem-
Der and January, 1920 and 1921. AS
we go to press, February, 1921, has al
ready broken the record again. We
have registered more ships in the last
five months than In the previous three
years. This Is at the rate of no per
cent increase annually.
I'VE have the assurance that the
seacoast program Is being pushed as
the official older boy program, in 81
cities. Ships papers or preliminary
steps have already been taken by l0i
scout centers. In some cities, notably
San Francisco, Honolulu and others,
the program has been under way for
several years without the registry of
a single ship, because of a vote TO
thoroughly train leadership before adj
hitting boys to membership. The sea
scouts, at the rate we are growing at
present, will be 200 "ships" in 1922. II
the last four months increase In our
number is maintained we will be,
in six months, the largest seamanShin
training course or nautical school in
the United States. Swift increase is
not expected in the face of such Slo-
CANS as You must know 1t all the
time Don't start anything you can't
finish Practice makes perfect. NO
frauds. The ship is what YOU make
her Don't give up the ship Never
theless, we're already half the size Of
Annapolis, and as far as plain sailing
goes, we are giving the same boat-sea.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"WHERE AM ! ATT"

TT Is not correct to use the word
i "at" or the word to- after the word
where" as in the sentences, where
We're you at last Sunday?' and "Where
were you going to-" Say, instead
"Where were you last Sunday and
where were you going?" This is
one example of many in English in
which the speaker or writer uses too
many words to express his meaning
The sentence, "Where am | atT' at
tracted much attention about 20 years
ago when it was used by speaker
in the house of representatives. The
member was making long speech,
filled with long sentences. Not much
attention was being paid TO him, and
he lost his place while uttering one
Of his long sentences. So he turned
to the speaker and asked: "Mr. Speak
er. where am | att" The reporters
took advantage of the opportunity to
poke fun at him. and the phrase was
repeated and laughed at all over the
United States.

As to Names.

The late Champ Clark was chris.
tened James Beauchamp Clark, but
he voluntarily dropped the first name
and later because people would insist
on mispronouncing "Beauchamp," he
rechristened himself with the name BY
which he was generally known. His
case reminds us of the old darkey's
plan. The latter was asked: what
have you named your baby, RastusT
