Why a "Jumper2n

The word was originally a Jump"
and is first met in 1915, as a Jacket
or loose coat reaching to the thighs.
The dainty feminine garment of to-
day owes its parentage to the shape
less garment of coarse sacking some
times worn by coal beavers or dock
laborers For this was the original
Jump" essentially a male garment
of the most primitive type. Indeed,
one Polar expedition records that it
found the EskimOs wearing these
Jumps or loose jackets.
In the seventeen hundreds Jumps
became feminine, in the form of a
kind of loose stays, chiefly worn as a
sort of undress.
Then in the eighteen hundreds, the
admiralty took notice of the word
as a Jumper" 1t is officially men,
toned as one Of the new rigs" Of
the lower deck
From this curious ancestry has
evolved the jumper of rhe girls of to-
day!

GOT NAME FROM INDIAN CHIEF
How the City Of Medicine Hat, in Can.
ada, Acquired Its Decidedly
Odd Cognomen.

Medicine Hat, the Canadian city
which figures so prominently in wealth
er reports. and which possesses I'M
dOubtedly one of the most extraOrdi-
nary names of all the cities
Of the world, acquired its title
from an old Blackfoot chief whose
tepee stood on the site which is
today the center of the city. He was
chiefly celebrated for an amazing
head-gear to which he attributed mag
ital powers. and which he called his
medicine hat" Good fortune was
supposed to attend him whenever he
wore it, whether at war or on the
hunt.
Once a great, battle was fought be-
tween the Blackfeet and the Crees on
the site of the present city. The fight
went against the Crees and, just as
they prepared to leave the field, a
strong gust of wind caught the ''medi-
cine hat" lifted it off the head of the
chieftain and deposited it in the river.
This was considered AN evil omen and
the Blaekfeet Immediately fled to the
mountains in great disorder.

'FEROCl0US DENIZEN OF SEA
California Spotted Moray Is a Capture
Which No Fisherman Is Anx.
ious to Make.

The California spotted moray, or
"sea eel" as II is popularity called
Is credited with being the most fe-
rocious marine animal In existence.
The commonly observed specimens
are about three or four feet long, and
about the size of a mans wrist.
Their mouths are provided with
needle-like teeth, and their jaws are
so strong that cutting of the animals
head does not have the slightest effect
in releasing its hold. Release can
only be achieved by cutting the head
to pieces so that the jaws cannot hold
together.
Stories are told of fishermen be-
ing driven from their boats when a
large specimen got loose after being
hauled up, and these stories may cas-
lily he credited, considering the dispo-
sition of the small ones which are com
mon to the California coast. Some of
those found in the deeper water reach
a length of six or eight feet, and a
weight of 100 pounds. The animal
can actually tie itself in a knot, and
makes use Of its extraordinary sinu-
osity for holding objects which it is
eating. and for twisting and coiling
around rocks.

WON FAME AS SEA FIGHTER
Scandinavian Hero Also the Center OF
Many Legends That Have En-
deared Him to Posterity.

One of the great Scandinavian
heroes of modern times was Tordenks-
jold. who rose from the rank of naval
cadet to admiral in eight years, and
died at the age Of thirty, and is ac-
counted today as naval strategist Of
the first order. II was TOrdenksjold
who, by his operations against Charles
All of Sweden. preserved the freedom
OF his native Norway and saved the in
tegrity of Denmark.
All his experiences were exceed
ingiy cOlorful and picturesque, so much
so, indeed, that legend has been busy
in providing him with an array of adj
ventures which undoubtedly never hap
pened. One of these is the story that,
when a boy, he sat down on a grind
stone to wear out the leather patches
which had been put on the seat of his
trousers as a punishment for tearing
his clothes. Once he pursued frigate
.much larger than his own until his
ammunition gave out. He sent word
20 the enemy, inviting the commander
70 come aboard for glass of wine and
asking whether he would lend some
powder to continue the fight. 1t was
This sort of bravado which his age
delighted in. He was killed in duel

Take All But Cabin.

A very curious propensity of the
wolverine is its habit of stealing and
carrying away articles which can be
OF no possible use to it, says the Amer
lean Forestry Magazine. An instance
is recorded where these animals re-
moved and concealed the whole para
phernalia of an unOccupied hunters
lodge, including such articles as guns,
axes, knives, cooking vessels and
blankets.
Experienced hunters and trappers
claim that a big wolverine may weigh
as much as 60 pounds, but that 80
pounds is the more usual weight.
They are very tenacious of life and
instances are on record when the ami
mai has been shot through and
through the chest and not succumbed
to the wound. In such cases, Of
course, the heart is not penetrated.

New Musical instruments.

II has been said by musicians that
the violin family is composed of two
pygmies-the violin and the viola
and two glants-the viOloncellO and
the double bass. II is reasonable to
suppose that the great gap between
these two extremes could be advan-
tageOusly diminished. 1t is not sur
prising. then, that two well-known
French musicians, father and son,
have, after years of study and expert
mentatiOn, created a number of inter
mediary instruments which have en-
tirely changed the nature of the violin
family.-POpular Mechanics Magazine.

Dweller in a Cave.

Cave bears were great big beasts,
weighing half ton or more. They
lived in Europe during paleOlithic
times, and were cOntempOraneous with
our ancestors. They get their name
from the fact that their bones are
usually found in caves. All bears. as
a matter of fact, prefer "A den in some
rocky hole to live and die in.
Cave bears are all extinct now. but
their near relatives the Siberian brown
bear and the Alaskan Kodiak bear, are
alive. Scientists were at loss as to
where to place these huge beasts until
they discovered PleistOcene ahinities
for them. Although cave bear stood
as big as "a small COW, he was rela-
lively inOffensive. He preferred root
ing in the ground or robbing an occa-
sional bee tree to preying on animals
and men.

gHoRsE NcEMETeRYv IN EGYPT
American Expedition Has unearthed
Graves OF Steeds That Once
Bore Proud Royalty.

Objects unearthed at El-Kur'uw, on
the Upper Nile, by the Harvard uni
versity, Museum Of Fine Arts expedi,.
fiop shed new light on the early his
tofy of Ethiopia, the tombs of all the
Kings from $50 b. G. to $50 b. q. hav-
ing been recovered.
1t Is known that King Piankhy was
a great connoisseur Of horses. In his
account of his besieging the Egyptian
city of Eshmun he tells Of his anger
Mt finding the horses Of King Namlat
starved thin as n result OF the siege.
Hence II is reasonably conjectured
that Piankhy started cemetery OF
horse graves which was found at FL
Kur'uw-the only burying ground OF
its kind that has been discovered in
the Nile valley. Here, in four rows,
are the graves of the steeds of several
monarchs. They have been plundered,
but not so thoroughly as to prevent
finding some of the trappings; a
plume carrier, a silver head band, four
strings of very large bronze balls,
beads, amulets and other objects.
These horses were manifestly sac
rificed at the funeral Of the king in
order that their spirits might accom-
pany his into the other world. The
sacrifice of men and animals at fu-
nerals is now well established as an
ancient Ethiopian custom by excava-
tons in Kerma. But the sacrifice OF
horses was a thousand years before
the beginning of the Ethiopian mon
nrchy, and in all the royal tombs Of
Napata no other survival of the GUS
tom was detected.

FRANKLIN KEPT HIS LAURELS

New York, the Sun of that city

and steamship disasters" said the

such things.

"Cut out the league of nations and
all that heavy stuff" yawned the
flappers of both sexes. What's it all
about anyway"
Cut out the so-called funny pic
lures" said the careful mother. Such
pictures aren't funny, and they're
bad, very bad for children.
Cut out the pOnderous editorials, "
snapped the man who merely scans
the headlines. SNobody reads 'em
nowadays"
"Cut out the woman's page" said
the female with.the strong mind. TITS
mushy, trashy, trivial; an insult to
our SEX"
"Cut out sports and theaters,"
said the intellectual. Both are bad
influences and both have received al
together too much notice"
"Cut out" began another and
still another, but the publisher beat
them to'it.

ARMY REDUCING
BOARD TO MEET
Second Lieutenants and Pershing On
~ Are Immune From
Demotion.

Washington, July 24.-The board
Of general officers appointed to I'M
dertake the most wholesale pluck
ing" job ever initiated among the
regular army Officers Corps will
hold its first meeting tomorrow, with
Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman, re-
tired, presiding. II was to have be-
gun operations toward the elimina-
ton or demotion of some $500 Off
GERS today, but was held up by the
absence of one member.
Members of the board were con-
cerned in their preliminary discus
sion today over the probable effect
on the morale of the army of the
suspended sentence now hanging
over the head of practically every Of
ficer in the service with the excep-
ton of General Pershing and the Sec
ond lieutenants.
Congress. in directing that the Of
ficers' Corps be reduced by January
to $4,000 did not include the gen.
eral officers of the army in fixing
the number to be retained in each
grade. The War Department in pre-
pairing instructions for the "plucking
board" did include the general Off
csers insofar as retirement of any OF
the major or brigadier generals for
physical disability would create va
cancies and permit the appointment
of colonies to general officer rank,
reducing the number of surplus colo
nels to that extent.
Preliminary investigation indicates
that probably more than 100 Off
GERS now on the rolls must be sep
arated" from the active service by
honorable discharge. Such discharge,
it will be pointed out, will not re-
fleet the character of service render
ed by the officer.
Board members are und rstood TO
feel that there is little prospect OF
finding many officers now on the rolls
who merit discharge. The army re-

The charge of the light cavalry at
the battle of Balaklava in 1854 during
the Crmean war, and celebrated in
TennysOn's great poem, "The Charge
of the Light Brigade" was one Of the
most noted military actions of modern
times. II was the result of a serious
blunder ON the part Of the British
commander.
A large force Of Russians, more or
less disOrganized by the British heavy
cavalry, was attacked by the Light
Brigade" under Lord Cardigan. The
Russians had reformed on their own
ground, and of the go of the British
force, only 1913 returned 10 their own
lines after the failure Of the charge.
II was in this same action that the
british infantry was first termed q
