away to sea if necessary.
1.-THE boy who is going to sea
cannot be stopped" Admiral

sea when a boy, served in wind
tanners, steam vessels, and
eventually rose to a high place
in the British navy.

HAVE CAR IN SHAPE

According to all the signs of the

yesterday was the last day of winter

now folks begin to turn attention to the
out-of-doors world. Flowers and birds,

or the ne wone, and hit the trail for the

Better be sure the cars in good shape.

out needed attention in the spring. be-
fore the long country rides and drives

1t is almost a certainty that the motor
needs tuning up, carbon cleaned, valves
ground, it must need greasing, doping
and Oiling. No matter what it needs
you will find an advertiser in The Age
Herald who can provide the service you
desire.
1t is the part of wisdom to take the
car to a reputable service station for
the repairs that are necessary for put

wise thing to have it painted if it

HOW WORDS CHANGE

How the meaning of a word changes
in the course of time is evidenced by
two words used in common, everyday
cOnversatiOn-villain and cheater. In
thier present use they denote treachery,
unrighteousness and bad character. But
not SO in the beginning. VILLAIN" was
then merely a serf on a feudal domain,
one who dwealt on great estate.
"Cheater,' or. as it was originally
spelled, ''escheator," was an officer of
the kings exchequer, appointed to re-
ceive dues and taxes. There was moth
ing degrading or offensiv" in the words
then. AS time passed, however, appro-
brium, due perhaps to INSCRIPTIONS in
dividuals of these states, attached to
the names to such an extent that now
their former sense is entirely aban-
