THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"GRoo."

N T FIRST glance there would A appear to be little connec- ton between the word "gros- grain" applied to heavy silks and ribbons, and "grog," the sailors slang for drink. But both of them were connected with Ad miral Edward Vernon of the British navy. the man who gained fame for the capture of Porto Bello during the war with Spain in 1739 and for whom Mount Vernon, the home of Washington. was named.
 To the men of the British navy, however, he owes his greatest fame to the fact that he was the first to order rum and water served to the men of his squadron, beginning this practice on board his own ship, the Burford. Previous to this time, the admiral had ac- Quired the name of "Old Grog," from his habit of strolling along the quarterback in "grogram" cloak - "grogram" being the British sailors corruption of the term "gros-graln." Because of the nickname of the man who originated the serving of rum in the navy, the drink was called "grog-and "grog'' 1t Is, to this day.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By C. N. LURE
 Common Errors in English and
 How to Avoid Them
THE USE OF "ANY."

CT KNOW the family we'll, and the
 youngest son is brighter than any of them" This sentence is incorrect and should be changed to "I know the family well, and the youngest son is brighter than any other one of them," or "brighter than any of the rest of the family"
 When the sentence first quoted is analyzed-that is, taken apart and ex- amined critically-it seems to say that the youngest son is brighter than himself; for, of course, hs is one, or any one, of the family. Such q state ment is absurd, and to express clearly the meaning of the writer or speaker it is necessary to insert some word or words (such as other or "the rest of') to show the comparison between the member of the family under dis cussion and the rest of the family.
 If you say, "The blacksmith Is stronger than any man." you imply that the blacksmith is not . man. Say, therefore. "The blacksmith is stronger than any other man."

EXPLOSIVES.

TN THE early days of warfare com l bustibles were hurled at the enemy to help demoralize his ranks. Many experiments were conducted with the idea of producing highly infammable material. Roger Bacon, . monk, in the Thirteenth century, while expert menting on this subject, happened to use pure instead of impure saltpetre, with the result that he nearly wrecked the place, but from this discovery came our modern powders and high explosives.
