All the same new words do get into
them. These words are sometimes re-
quired to describe new things in the
arts, sciences, etc.
When Morse invented his code
handy word had to be made and so
arose telegraph and a variety OF deriv-
atives. The airplane has given us In
turn several new words. Slang gives
us novel word now and then.
For instance, the word "boycott" had
no trouble at all in finding its way
into our tongue and into most Euro
pean languages. 1t arose from the
treatment of Capt. Boycott of Tough
Mask House in the County Mayo in
1880. Boston," new word for a new
card game, got into the language earli-
err. 1t comes from the siege of our
city of Boston in 1775-76 and the
moves of the game follow all the stra-
tegic moves in this military history.
Pomp, meaning solemn procession,
comes from the the Latin word pOmpe,
which was in turn derived from the
Latin verb pempein, which means to
send. NEEDLE, to mix, is a distortion
of the word middle, but it has as good
place in the language now as it's
forebear.
Who knows where the word haber-
dashery comes from? Ask any man
who sells neckties, collars and other
little things to adorn (perhaps) the
person of man and he hasn't the least
idea Look up the word in the stand
ara dictionaries the search will not
be rewarded.
Quite otherwise is the origin Of the
word humble pie. 1t comes from the
eating by servants long years ago OF
pie made from the umbles, or entrails,,
of the deer.
There il considerable entertainment
and not a little knowledge to be gained
by looking up the origin Of words.
Why not add it 70 the list of popular

Climbs Euliyama Top.

Maj. Orde Lees, British balloonist
and Arctic explorer, has just Cont
pleted a trip to the summit Of Full
yama, the celebrated mountain in
southeastern Japan. 1t is said he Is
the first European to have reached the
top of the mountain in winter, which
is 1866 feet above sea level.
Major Lees was accompanied by H.
G. Irish of London, and accomplished
his feat In 4S hours. The last 1000
feet of the climb were made over
slippery ice. Major Lees was a men,
Der of the Shackleton Antarctic eXpe-

BOON TO MANKIND
Science Of Canning Food of I'm
mense Practical Value.
Few Discoveries or Inventions, 1t is
Pointed Out, Have Been of Great
or Benefit to Humanity.

Though less spectacular, the science
Of canning was a discovery only
eQualed In Importance by such inven-
lions as the telephone, the wireless
and the airplane. When we stop to
realize that food, shelter and clothing
are mans most vital needs, and what
a large proportion Of our food is pre-
served for us today In canned form,
we better understand the full signif-
canoe Of this important discovery.
Picking or drying were the only
methods of preserving foods that were
known up until about century ago.
In 1895 the necessities Of war prompt
ed the French government to offer a
reward Of $4,000 francs for better
method OF food preservation. The
prize was awarded to Nicholas Appert,
and his method stands today as the
real basis Of our present process Of
canning-namely, hermetic sealing and
sterilization by heat.
This discovery has added immeas-
urably to the wealth of the world, be-
harvest the surplus crops, which 1t Is
impossible to get to market before they
spoil, have not had to go to waste, but
have been preserved. for use at other
periods Of the year when Nature is
producing less and when, but for the
science Of canning, we would have to
subsist on much less attractive fare.
This Is conservation In the broadcast
and most economic sense Of the word.
But the process of canning not only
benefits the world at large; it has very
definite advantages for each Of us as
individuals. For that much-talked-Of
Mr. Average Man-in-the-Street and his
Housewife-in-the-Kit canning"
eliminates the seasons. In effect, 1t
makes summer last all the year
round" and In midwinter brings us
the crops of midsummer.
And canning also eliminates space
or sectionalism, for those Of us who
live In the interior may still enjoy oys-
tiers, crabs, Holsters and other sea
foods whenever we wish; and those
Of us who live In the eastern states
may nevertheless have access to the
delicious fruit crops Of California and
Hawaii. And so on the world over.
The pioneer In Alaska, and miner In
the mountains Of South America, the
explorer In the Antarctic, men and
women everywhere on the fringes of
civilization, all have at hand-thanks
to the can-the same wholesome ap-
petizing foods that are served to the
most exacting guest In an exclusive
New York hotel.
Because the science Of canning has
so done away with time and space
with respect to food-the can has come
to be known as a modern genie Of the
home. The housewife whose pantry
shelves are we'll stocked with canned
foods is able to choose her meal from
whatever corner Of the world her whim
suggests.

fish story. It - gospel truth, says
George l.. Brown, according to the
New York Sun. The scene of it is
Elizabethtown, a village completely
surrounded by Adirondacks.
The streams and ponds around
Elizabethtown have been famous in
their day for speckled trout and more
recently for pickerel, perch, black bass
and bull pout.
Let the humble bull pout be the he
no of this yarn, the Sacramento cat"
as he has been named in California,
the sluggish browser Of weedy ponds,
that will live wherever a frog can and
bite anything from an angleworm to
a piece of tin dinner pail. And the
bull pout's tenacity of life may be
credited with a good share of the
uniqueness of this unprecedented fish
story.
In the days when the thing hap
pened the young fellows Of Elizabeth
town used to go fishing for bull pout
Saturday nights in Lincoln pond or in
the marsh" not far away. And on
Saturday night Carl E. Daniel and his
cousin, the late Arthur III. Norton,
went out and brought home a fine
mess after midnight.
Carl was tired and he just dumped
his bull pouts with the grass in which
he had carried them home, into
dishpan. Then it occurred to him to
put the dishpan in the kitchen sink
and turn on the faucet little, and he
did SO before going to bed.
That's where the story begins. The
rest of it happened while Carl was
asleep. You see, the grass overlooked
with the water from the dishpan and
clogged the drain of the sink. And
then the sink filled up and overlooked.
And then the whole of the ground floor
Of Carl's home, Colonial Cottage" be-.
came a pond. And when Carl got up
on Sunday morning and went into the
Kitchen he found all his mess of bull
pouts swimming around over the floor
as happy as if they were back in Lin
coin pond.
That's the story, and If you doubt
that it happened in just that way you
can ask Carl, who is now head of the
Elizabethtown Hardware company, Inc.

ORIGIN OF WORDS
Entertainment and knowledge in
the Search.
In the End. 1t Will Be Found That Ex-
plantations Are In the Nature
of a Guess.

Most people take their words cana
their phrases, too) ready made; that
is. they learn a small vocabulary from
hearing other people talk, and AFTER
ward, finding the same words In DOCKS
and dictionaries, they are emD0ldeneu
to use them in their speech and writ
ing. If they ever wonder where these
words came from originally it Is In a
vague, listless way, rather like the
way they look upon mysterious astron-
omy.
If one pins a comparatively small
class down to their actual knowledge
of the English language one can learn
something more definite, but still 'nebu-
lous. This small educated class real
" has heard of the Angles and Danes
who impinged their language on the
Picts and thus started the Anglo-Sax-
on boom. 1t will tell you also how
julius Caesar brought his cohorts into
Britain and almost succeeded in max
ing it Latln-spealzing island.
Coming down to the year 1865, the
same cultivated persons explain by
means of the Conquest the large num-
Der of French words that have been
more or less Anglicized that we use
every day. And when we ask why
there are so many German words In
our tongue it is only necessary to re-
call the fact of a common Teutonlc
origin of the sailors and beachcombers
who lived either in the fens or along
the shores of Europe and England.
They spoke what may be called COM
mon language.
After Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden,
Ben Jonson, Sam Johnson and other
notable writer's had introduced more
Latin, Italian and French words into
the language and invented a few OF
their own English may be said to have
been finished. Really every language,
including English, is extraordinarily
conservative and resents new words.

Sacrifice Worthy Of the Name.

The word sacrifice" gains new
meaning when we think Of the story
that is told about the three hundred
children Of an Armenian orphanage.
SO small amount Of food had reached
the American relief workers in charge
Of the orphanage that they could give
almost nothing even to the three hun
dred. Each child got only a small
piece Of bread and few walnuts
twice a day. OF course the food did
not nearly satisfy their hunger, but 1t
was enough to keep them alive.
When the children learned that
there were hundreds more In the near
by villages who could receive nothing
at all they voluntarily gave up the
walnuts. Before each meal they
dropped their nuts into sack in one
corner Of the room, and when 1t was
full some one Of them would carry 1t
to the frantic crowd in the street.
Could there be more generous sac
rifice than that youths Companion.

AlrpIanes' Good Record.

Probably the most remarkable thing
about civil aviation in the past year
has been that not one passenger has
been killed, or even seriously injured,
in British airplane throughout 1921.
And this, although during the summer,
between 400 and 500 people week
were crossing the channel by air, and
although we'll over 1000 a week were
being taken up for Joy rides in this
country. For this we have to thank
not only the skill Of the pilots and
airplane mechanics, but the aeronauti-
cal inspection department and the con-
troller of aerodromes and licenses,
who have made sure that only first
class men and machines have been al
lowed to carry Misrepresentation

A Welsh Poet Miner.

Huw Menai Williams Is Wales poet
miner, who bids fair to bring Welsh
literature to the attention Of the
Anglo-Saxon world. Born in Carnar-
vonshire, Williams has been a coal
miner at Glamorgan since he was six,
teen. His work has therefore been en-
tirely inspired among the sordid sur
roundings Of mining town. Intel
lectually, he is self-made man. The
remarkable thing about Williams
verse is that it is written in English
AN acquired language for him and
one that he has no extraordinary COM
mand of. His book, Through the Up
cast Shaft" is causing furOre In

Iceland Ponies.

Iceland ponies run well in company.
Out of fifteen or twenty, one or two
will soon be recognized as the leaders,
and the rest will follow these; but no
amount of whipping will persuade
them to go even a short distance sep
arately-a fact which the traveller
soon finds to be very inconvenient If
his pony does not happen to be lead
er. and he is yet anxious to deyiate
occasionally to examine objects Of In
terest off the track. This inability to
run except in company has gained the
Icelandic ponies character for stu
pidity in this country, where they are
seldom used except in the coal mines.

Easter Euu Of Death.

The city Of Paris, few years be-

same year one Of his revolutionary
subjects sent him an egg stuffed with
dynamite, timed to explode at GER

aroused suspicion, and tragedy was
averted by the secret police opening
the egg and discovering It's contents.

MEMS CHURCH CLUB PLANS
REFORM OF MODERN DANCE

NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-The Mems
Club of Trinity Reformed Church,
Palisade avenue and Sixteenth
street, West New York, N. j., is out
against modern dances because It
considers them little more than hug
ging and wrestling matches. 1t has
planned a crusade against the
"wriggling, shuffline contortions Of
today" because they are developing
such species Of 'so-calied males" as
"sharpies" and snakes" and finale
hoppers."
The club plans a dance revival"
in the church tonight. where Ian.
ciers, the quadrille, waltz, minuet
and schottische are to replace the
shlmmy, camel walk, Chicago and
scandal. The club hopes the dance
will start a nationwide campaign
against dancing as dancing Is today.
