Times do change" is the unanimous
verdict of officials of the American
Electric Railway association who
searched three months for team of

the annual convention here October
2-6.
when someone suggested an OK
team to show the stages in the pro-

agreed that finding oxen would be
easy" said Secretary James w.
Welsh.
But when we began to look for
them we couldn't find one. Ezra
Meeker, an Oregon trail pioneer who
drove an OK team about the country
in the interest of good roads, was ap-
pealed to but his team was stuffed
and on exhibition in Seattle, Wash.
I'VE asked stockyards officials, wild
west shows and many others. Even
tually we heard of one blind OK in
Phillips, Wis, and, after getting the
entire city interested in the search,
we located yoke near there.
Together with the pageant showing

the convention will hear addresses

GIVE CREDIT To
EACH SOLDIER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-(U. P.)
The war department has determin-
ed that the individual soldier in the
World War shall receive credit for his
battle service. To this end it has in
stitnted a battle participation board
that is reviewing the records of every
outfit" that went to France, to deter
mine finally what actions against the
Germans they took part in.
Slowed away in corner of the
enormous building that houses the
records of the American Expeditionary
Forces here, the Board Is plugging
away at its task. A lot depends upon
1t, It's members say. for if Private
O'Mulligon, 098345", was in the St.
Mihiel offensive and the records have
him wrong, who can say to what in
dignities O'Mulligon's descendants a
hundred years from now may have to
suffer from this inaccuracy
Acres and acres of records, piled
three stories high in an eight winged
building, is the battle-terrain of the
Board. Records of every individual
that reached France; records of every
outfit that ever got off transport,
are there.
The system thus is this: When a SOL
dier applies for . medal, the Board
gets to work and determines what ac-
ton the Umptieth participated in.
PriVatt Giannoccio's personal record
Is then searched by another depart
ment to see If he was with the Ump-
tieth at the time it was engaged. If
so, he is awarded the appropriate
clasps for his medal for the actions
which the Board has decided the
umptieth took part in. The Boards !
decision becomes q history.
The policy of the Board is liberal |
its members say. Each one of them, /
4 total of four, saw days and days of |
active front line service and they are |
disposed to give every soldier full !
credit for participating in an action
even If he only heard a gun fired.

CLARICE

"HILE Clarice has its origin In
the same root as Glare or Clara,
Its evolution progressed in n far diff
ferent manner. The Latin adjective
clarus, meaning bright or famous, is
OF course responsible for both names,
but where Glare followed the English
and French, Clarice Is the product of
Italy.
The old Latin feminine of words
ending in "or" to signify the doer,
was "ix"; in modern Italian this be-
comes ice" Clarice, therefore, was
the feminine name so evolved and
meant ito make famous" 1t proved
popular throughout Italy, It's famous
bearer probably being the wife Of
Lorenzo de Medici.
Though France already had Claire,
enc adopted Clarice, giving soft "ss'
sound to the &C" This explains the
Clarlssa which sprang up in England
and was given extraordinary vogue
by Richardson In his novel wherein he
made Clarissa his heroine. The popu-
iarity CT this book in France brought
forth Clarisse. 1t is not the first In

DO SERVANTS
WEAR LIVERY

AS NIGHT be deduced from the
a fact that the word "livery" Is of
French origin-derived from the verb
"lIvrer," ito deliver"-the custom of
clothing servants in uniform started
in France where 1t was the habit of
the early French kings to give
clothes to their servants. Because
these outfits were given or delivered
free of charge, the uniforms were
spoken of as "liveres" and the Gus
tom gradually spread until all of
the nobility and even some of the
gentry were clothing their servants.
AS a means Of differentiating between
the servants of various houses, the
uniforms were made of contrasting
colors and varying styles, and the
French verb, when translated into
English became 'livery."
In England, however, the term has
bad number of meanings During
the reign of Edward Nv, for example,

Clarinda and Clairmond are two
other fanciful interpretations of the

The diamond Is Clarice's talismanic
gem. It's potency Is best expressed
in the old rhyme:
The Evil Eye shall have no power to

Her that shall wear the diamond as
charm.
No monarch shall attempt to thwart her
will.
And cen the gods her wishes shall full
fill.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
WILLIAM"

HISTORY, which has a habit
- of repeating itself, runs
true to form in number of
words, as may be seen by the
comparison of the changes un-
dergone by pagan" and "vil-
lain" The former, as we have
seen, first meant dweller in
village (pagus), then heather
villager and then a heather.
Similarly, VILLAIN" was origi-
nally applied to the serf or peas
ant, known as "villanus' be-
cause he was attached to the
villa or farm. In this sense it
had no opprobrious meaning
whatever, being practically
synonym for our word Country
man" or rustic" Then. because
it was taken for granted that the
peasant would be churlish, self
iSh, dishonest, and generally of
evil moral conditions-referrin
of course, only to the peasants
Of other days-the word began
to take on these secondary char
acteristics, and, at the third
step, nothing Of the meaning
which the etymology suggests
survives. The peasant is en-
tirely lost, and the evil moral
conditions of him who is called
by this name alone remain, for.
in Its final stage, the epithet may
be as freely applied to the peer
as to the pauper. In fact,
thanks to popular fiction and the
even more popular screen, the
current visualization of vii
lain is that of well-dressed,
black-mustached, cigarette-smOk-
ing person, bred within the
morally cramped confines Of the
big city rather than raised in
the theoretically pure at
mosphere of the farm. Thus do
words swing around until their
meaning points in direction
precisely opposite to that In
which they started.
