THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
MARIN ALADE."

IT WAS early in the Fifteenth
l. century that French epicures
began to take notice of a new
and particularly delicious sweet
meat that was beginning TO come
over the border from Spain. 1t
appeared to be a kind of thick
jam, well favored and with a
body which gave ii distinctly
more of a taste than the rather
fiat preserves which were in
vogue at that time. lnquiring
into the source Of this delicacy.
the Parlsians found that ii came
from Portugal, where the ma
tives had discovered the knack
OF treating ounces In such II
manner that they made a paste
or preserve Of exceptional quail
ity and appetizing flavor. Be
cause OF the fact that the Portu-
guese word for ounce is mar
melo," the name 'marmalade"
was applied TO this preserve
which, upon being introduced
into England. became extremely
popular.
During the Nineteenth cen
fury the English became very
proficient in the making of or
ange marmalade, and practically
captured the world trade in this
commodity until American ge-
MUS added new tang and
flavor at an even lower price.
The fact that oranges we're al
most universally used for the
manufacture of this product OBJ
scured the original derivation of
the word, and today marmalade
is generally understood TO mean
a thick jam made from oranges,
while. as a matter of fact, Ii
should be applied only TO that
which is made from ounces.
Even "Orqnge marmalade" is a
misnomer, as a literal transla-
ton of the term would be cor
ange-Quince preserve"

the bowler sport
But bowling isn't his only accom-

Hempei uses the regulation 16-
pound ban in bowling. The one he
rolls has a hole two inches wide and
four inches deep bored in it. Into
this hole he inserts the stub OF his
right arm and propels the ball down

In playing baseball Hempel catches
the BAH in the crook of his elbow.
He makes few errors.
In throwing he straightens his
arm and when the ball rolls down he
balances It on his stub. then hurls It
as far and straight as the average

When batting he places the handle
