Evolution Of Name n ordor y

The name London dates back to
the time when the inhabitants OF
Great Britain were wild and unciviI.
lied and when the Thames was much
wider than 1t is at present. In fact,
this river was then sort of lake or
lagoon up which the tide came from
the sea,
It was upon this body of water that
the Ceits built d rude sort Of fort, to
which they referred as "the fort on
the lagoon" or In Celtic "cair Lun-
dun" Upon their invasion of Eng
land, the Romans adopted the same
name with slight alteration to en-
able 1t to at into the Latin, and the
town was then known as 'Iondin-
lum" 1t was during the Roman oc-
cupatlon that the place grew to be an
important town, and even after
Romans departed, the Latin term
chung to the city until well on into the
Middle ages, when the gradual trend
away from the strict Latin form
caused the elimination Of the last two
syllables and the changing Of the first
'l' into an 20" thus producing the
name "London," precisely as it is to-
day

the face Of nearly complete unof-

Long, formerly third assistant seere-

Stating that the contest had been
somewhat heated" the senator EN-
phasized his position would be To

SAY RADIO WILL BRING
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE


The widely-spreading use Of the
radio phone will result eventually
n adoption Of an universal language
either Esperanto or some language
now commonly used, such as English
perhaps. This is the belief of VIM.
y. Terrell, chief of the radio division
OF the Department Of Commerce, ex-
pressed recently in an exclusive in
tervlew for Universal Service.
We are now able to converse
through the radio phone not only
with persons a few hundred miles
away, but with persons across the
continent, and time signals have been
heard all the way around the world"
Mr., Terrell said.
I'VE have already spoken across
the Atlantic ocean with our English
speaking neighbors on the British
Isles, and with the greater develop
ment of radio we will soon be able
to converse easily with anybody any
where in the world.
We will be up against it when we
try to speak across the Pacific ocean
to the Asiatic countries-to China,
Japan and India-unless the world
adopts a universal tongue. That
may be Esperanto, which, for years
has had many advocates, or it may be
English, which has had a rapidly
use throughout the world
IN recent years, particularly since
the war;

FALL ARMY or GRASS WORM


The fall army worm or grass worm
was discovered by County Agent w.
7. McKell in McNairy county on July
n. Twenty-Five acres of late corn
are already very seriously injured at
Selmer, where three separate infesta-
tons are already known. II is very
likely that other outbreaks Of the
grass worm are present in other parts
of the state, so all are urged to be on
the alert to discover the worms, since
delay of "a hours in applying the
proper arsenicals is fatal. This pest
is not the true army worm and is some-
times called the grass worm" or
overflow worm" 1t is known as the
fall army worm because it occurs in
the North only in the fall of the
year. When abundant, the worms SO
quickly destroy vegetation that when
moving on to new fields they crawl
in colonies, hence the name "army
worm"
General invasions Of the fall army
worm occur invariably after cold wet
springs. This is explained by the
fact that cold and dampness is in
furious to the insect enemies, which
ordinarily keep the worms under con-
troll. A very important enemy of the
fall army worm is the grayish two
winged fly, little larger than the
house fly. During an outbreak these
flies may be seen buzzing around and
depositing small witish eggs on the
necks Of the worms These eggs
hatch into small maggots, which bore
into the worms and finally kill them. !
The fall army worm may be con-
trolled either by the poisoned bran
bait or by spraying. The poisoned
bran bait is made up as follows:
Wheat bran, so pounds; paris green,
one pound or powdered arsenate Of
lead, two pounds; molasses, two gal
Ions.
The bran and the insecticide are
first mixed together dry. Then add
the molasses and water until the whole
mass is moist but not sloppy Fifty
pounds of bran should be sufficient
for 10 to Is acres. The bait may be
scattered broadcast over the field
when the worms are feeding in grass
1r are on the march. In corn, it
would be advisable to put a little into
he bud" Of each corn plant, where
he worms could reach it. Poisoned
nash should be put out either in
he evening or early morning SO that
t will not dry too quickly.
Spraying-If a good spraying ma
hine is handy it may be more con-
enient to spray crops. Two pounds
+ powdered arsenate Of lead and so
'allons of water should be used when
he worms are in corn and the spray
MIXTURE forced into the "bud." The
rsenate Of lead could also be used as
ust if so desired In case paris
reen is used, two pounds of Stacked
me should be added to 10 ounces of
ne paris green and so gallons of
-ater. The lime will prevent burn
lg of the plants.
When the worms are on the march
{ are starting in on the corner of
field the crop toward which they are
owing may be saved by blowing
aep furrow. A log dragged along
le ditch will kill the worms.

In no other record can you get the
same wonderful degree of surface
q%uietness and pure, uninterrupted
music, for the simple reason that
Columbia alone possesses the secret
of making a material which, employed
as a surface for phonograph records,
obliterates obnoxious and intrusive
surface sounds
This new substance does not hush
loud surface noises. They are never
created. Surface noise Is merely fric-
tion, the point of the needle grinding
on microscopic roughness and multi
piled by the sensitive reproducer. In
New Process Columbia Records this
microscopic roughness is refined away
till friction is almost a fiction.
With new and unbelievably u.ieg

Startling Good News
for Photograph Owners!
Columbia discovers a process sDhich produces
records free from Objectionable Surface Noise!

AS a monograph owner you have always been annoyed
by the swish and grinding and scratching noises of
records. This surface noise has been considered inn
possible to remove. After years of experiment. the Column
ba Graphophone Company to-day presents to the world
a record that is virtually noiseess.
This record has been made possible by the discovery, in Columbia
laboratories, of q process by which we are able to produce a surface
material so fine IN textuet % pnarvelously smooth, Sc free from friction
that the phonogrsph needle travels over it almost inaudibiy and with
imperceptble wear.
The pIsyingresult from the use of this new material is actually
astounding-no other word can describe It. Melody unmarried by
penetrating, obtusive surface sounds, harmony without disconcntinr
scratch or scrape-think what this ear to o and to yer phono-
graph owner in the world.
This is made practical by Columbas patented Iaminated, or three
ply, construction. The cor or centre leaf in Columbia Nesu Process
Records, because 1t is absolutely distinct from the playing surfaces, Is
made of a harder, mor durable substance. Over this rigid backbone
surface fabric
his Illuminated construction gives greatly increased strength and
longevity plus "a most noldess surface lei perfected.
