MEANING HAS BEEN TWISTED
Word "Rooze" Now Means Form of Intoxieants, but Originally 1t
 Was Far Different.

The popular use of the word booze" has been considerably perverted. It Is pure Turkish, and Is the name of n widely used drink that Is regarded as so far from intoxicating that its Use 1t not only permitted but strongly rec commended to the followers of the Prophet, whose religion makes them teetOtallers.
 For d long, long time booze" has been used as a sort of generic name for intoxicating drinks, all the way from beer to champagne. Indeed, the dictionary so defines 1t. also defin. ing the noun "boozer" aS one Whc lipples, and the adjective "b"oZy" us "a little intoxicated; somewhat elc. vated or excited with liquor"

ATTRACTIVE ROOM FOR BOY
Voungster Will Appreciate Surround jnos That Are Comfortable and
 of Good Appearance.

A boys room needs to be practical, lndestructible, convenient and bOyish, says the Designer. The room should be beautiful, but it should be founded on masculinity from the start; there should be no thin curtains, frills, or any of the fragile cOlOrs; everything must be simple of line, plain and un- Obtrusive; things must be arranged so that every article may be kept in its place easily; the furniture, wall paper, rugs, must be designed for wear. But surely, you say, these un- interesting requirements cannot pos sibly result in the exciting spot that is supposed to mold a boys charac- ter and fire his imagination.
 Put nothing in the room that is not necessary; the bed, the desk, the table, three comfortable chairs, the shelves for books, the chiffOnier. Of course you have some brasswOrk, d parchment-ahaded lamp, some plain but gOOd-lOOking wall lights, few pill lows covered in old yellow, blue and gray.
 You may furnish it very inexpen- sively, or you may choose furniture quite worth while enough to warrant its presence in your sons own grown up house some day. If your boy is quite young, you may wish a more childish room than if he were fully half-grOwn.
 The walls of any boys room may be papered in tan, or water-tinted in pale cream or gray Gan economical finish that may be changed from year to year with little labOr) any boys mother can dye some unbleached heavy muslin a wonderful henna for window drapes; and if more expen- sive tan-and-black Wilton rug cannot he afforded, taupe linen rug surely can. A henna bedspread may spring from the same dye pot that produced the curtains, and few copper (Orna- ments are cheap to buy, easy to keep brilliant, but oh! so decoratively ef- fective!

RICH SUFFER FROM BOREDOM
Woman Novelist Sees Little to Envy in Those In Possession of Great

London,a Infamous Sums.

The slums of London, especially in ShOreditch and Bethnal Green, have scores of househOlders who have not had to pay any rent for two or thu ee years and have not the remOtest idea of who their landlords are. The land lords dare not come forward and al init that they own these houses, which are in a shocking state of repair. The property is now liability rather than an asset These tumbledOwn houses have mostly fallen into the hands of foreigners and change hands so ire quently that track is lost of the for mer owners. The queen was shown some of the worst of these places by the mayor when she visited ShOreditch recently. She had expressed a wish that nothing should be "tidied up" be- fOrehand. In two rooms of one ram shackle dwelling in Winner gardens lives a man with no less than nine children.

TESTS WGoR OF BANK ROLLS
Majority Wlther Quickly, but Some Grow Robust When Exposed to
 New York'S Climate.

New York has long been known in the provinces as the nesting place Of bank rolls. In this nest either they grow or they die young. A bank roll is a sensitive plant, as 1t were, being influenced quickly and permanently by climatic and diplomatic changes. Nothing can become discouraged more quickly than a bank roll in New York, and nothing can gain a satisfied and prosperous maturity more quickly if 1t gets the right start, attends to Its own business and keeps away from strangers.
 Generally speaking. I would recOm- mend this town as the best health re- sort for bank rolls in the world. Some bank rolls come here In the full view of perfect health, with perfectly nor nal chest measurements and waist lines suited to their age. and immedi- ately go into decline which no science Is able to stem. They seem to be victims of the Old-fashiOned disease known as gallOping consumption.
 Others come here in a very frail state of health, puny in fact, and by tudicious exercise take on weight and require larger and larger belts. Cir cumstances alter bank rOlls.-Roy K. In the New York Mail.

AsrNarG5S Navy

Did you know thal at one time liar VA"d college had d navy? 1t was dur ing the War of 1872. Once d year the navy made & triumphant cru.Se of Boston harbOr, and it was on one ot these annual joy rides that the mem berS of this gallant crew got distinct shock; they were captured by the British. By mistake their little bout got outside the harbOr and was snapped up by the British bIOcknding squad ron.
 They were confronted by the terri ble thought of what was going to hap pen to them. But instead of being hung as spies, they were actually ban quoted by their enemies. The British officers were probably tired of their own company, and here was an OppOr- tunity for a good time. That was be- fore the eighteenth amendment. By the time it was time to go home, the Harvard navy had to be sIung over the sides of the British vessel in the slings which were used to bring the horses aboard, and how their own ship got back to port will forever remain mystery

SHOCKED BY ELECTRIC CAT

HALE IA. TO THE END
0Ed Chronicles Tell of Some Re-
 markab.e Centenarians.
According to Newspapers and haoa- zines of the Last Century They
 Were Rugged Lot.

Tales of the prodigiOus featS of cen tenarian and near-centenarian ances- tors have been handed down in many families for generations, until now they are accepted only as the fanciful dreams of the aged, exaggerated by retelIinG. A study of old magazines and newspapers, however shows that during the Eighteenth and early Nineteenth centuries. remarkable men, tai and physical powers were attrb- uted to very aged people.
 Many such stories are found LA the ''ntimatiOns of death" found in old English newspapers. The custom in those days was to give in these mo- ticeS a brief outline of the activities of the deceased as well as his pUs.Lion in life. These notices gave quaint pictures of life of the times, as they recorded the death of many we'll known men and women they have great historical value.
 Early volumes of BlackwOods Mag aZine tell of many instances of men and women attaining the age of l20 and even 13O years. A writer in The Scotsman who selects a few interest ing examples from BlackwOOd's tells of the death of MT. Dirrane of Galway in his 12Oth year. gro the last he could read without glasses, and until the last three or four years could walk some miles a day"
 An entry on May 27, 1920. shows that Anna McRae, the widow of Kin tail farmer, died at the age of 112. The notice concludes, Not many months ago she could run a race with any of her sex of the third and fourth generation" The notices record the death of a cOlOred woman in Jamaica at the age of 14O and another at 130 years.
 One unusual record concerns the death of William Heginh"tt"m at the age of 95. The intimatiOn states He was father of ten, father-in-law to ten. grandfather to 131, great grandfather to 153, great-great grandfather to one, in all 3O5, the last of whom he walked 32 miles to see in his ninetieth year"
 Margaret McDOugal, who died in Garth in 1923 In her lO3d year was also a woman of extraordinary vigOr. 'When above 1OO," the notice reads ''she thought little of walking from her own house to Weem or Aberfeldy, a distance Of seven miles, and return ing before breakfu$. Last year she travelled to DrummOnd castle, whi' h is 30 miles distant and returned the next day."

NEW ALLOY COMES INTO USE
the ConStruction of Worm WheeIs or Gears.

Worm wheels or gears of a new ma terial are 6 recent development, says the Scientific American. Such wheels have mainly been made of steel or iron or bronze, but now, for certain purposes and under certain conditions, they are being made of duralumin. This alloy has never before been used as gears.
 Duralumin is an alloy of aluminium. magnesium, manganese and little copper and its strength and tOughness can be made equal to mild sreel. and for a given section the weight is one third that of the continental bronze. Superior strength in the teeth is as sured by the alloys tensile strength and elastic limit.
 The same properties that make du- ralumin a suitable and desirable ma terial for worm wheels also make 1t valuable for spur gears and other gearing.
 Where duralumin can be run with steel rather than against itself the best results are obtained. For exam pie. in the timing gear trains of auto mobile motors, where both long life and quietness are essential. helical cut spur gears of duralumin altprnat- ed with steel gears have been in sue resSful service,

Old MEriendsn Meet.

Mr. Winston Churchills capture by the BOers in the South African cam .paign when he was a young core spondent, has often been described. A British armOred train was wrecked at Chieveley, in Natal, and as Mir. Churchill tried to escape he was held up by a BOer on horseback with a lev eled rife. Sir Charles Coghlan. head of the RhOdesian delegation recently in London, has now added a curious sequel. He told a representative of the Cape Times that Mfr Churchill. in & reminiscent mood, described to him how. many years after, when he (AIr. ChurchilD was cabinet minister, he recOunted the story to General BOtha

into instruments and other equipment. That's why have, had to live this way. That's why l an always dead broke before my munthly check comes. That's why l haven't the money to lend yOu-''
 For. a moment Lee was .dejected over this failure to rescue Molly ln her predicament. Finally 1t was agreed that as he would have to walt until morning to arrange at the bank to forward some money on the strength of his next monthly remittance Molly would have to see about getting ac- cOmmOdations. She could go to ho- tel for the night, telegraph home of her delay, and then~ take a train In the morning after funds had been se- cured to pay her hotel bill and for her ticket home. Still, she could not go and come unknown at her hotel with out baggage. So Lee hit upon the scheme He spent some of his scant change in telegraphing to MOlly's fa- ther. in her name and had enough money left to pay for q taxi man to carry Molly and one of his trunks to one of the good hotels. The trunk, though empty, would serve as security. She could have it checked on South on her ticket, as Lee was returning home in the spring and had pre- cious small wardrobe to carry. That would save Lee the expense of ,ex- pressing 1t when the time came.
 Lee had gone out to see about the telegram when the taxi man came, so Molly in some confusion wrote to Lee that she had gone to her hotel, and got the taxi man to take the trunk, and would expect him in the morn ing bright and early.
 Late that night Lee got note by special messenger from Molly that her father had wired money in response to her telegram, to the hotel address that Lee had given her, that the hotel clerk had casheh the order and that she had just departed OH q midnight train.
 It was not until morning that Lee discovered that Molly had taken not the empty trunk but a trunk contain ing $1 900 worth of equipment, all for tunately carefully packed for trans pOrtatiOn.
 Two days later came a night letter from Lees home town in the South.
 ''The trunk was so heavy that dad had it opened. We discovered the equipment, which showed how money has been spent. Dad is sending check on account. He hopes you will come l. spring. Shall we have the trunk sent hack?"
 TO which Lee responded: Keep trunk Coming home at once to hang out my shingle."

Rabbit Sandwiches Ar. Good.

Qakesdale, a hamlet near OthellO, Wash, is known as the sandwich town of the Northwest. Overland trains stop at Oakesdale and there are al ways many hungry folk on board.
 Comedy lasseS, wearing white aprons, enter the cars or sell from the platform an endless variety of sund- wiches, said by experienced travellers to beat anything ever seen elsewhere.
 The trains are delayed long enough so that all West-bOund tourists have an opportunity to taste Oakesdale's newest and most popular sandwiches, jackrabbit or sage hen. The roasted meat of these two local products, be- smeared with butter and cOmfOfted between two slices of fresh bread, are the temptation placed before new corners.
 For l5 cents a traveller may buy one of thirty varieties of sandwiches, each as large as a pie plate.-New York Sun
