In the shallow water near the

like three round ROCKS, lying above

brought up against a lump OF gran

the road and off into the oat field.

"Getting Into Scrape"
Has Various Meanings

The phrase "get into scrape' can
be traced back as far as 1903. Rich
ard Steele used it in THE Taller" and
1t is said to have originated from the
notion of having been scraped IN 60
ing through a narrow passageway, but
this is pure conjecture. Scrape IN
dialectical English designates a trap
and Is much Older, and to this day the
word is used for a lure for birds IN
cold weather, says the Family Her
aid.
According to Lowsley's GLOSSARY OF
Berkshire Words and Phrases" scrapes
are of two kinds: the first Is an old
door supported by stick under which
corn is placed, and the stick being
pulled by long string the door falls
on the birds. The second Is made BY
placing corn where snow has been
swept away, and birds, when congre
gated, are shot in numbers, being en-
fladed along the scrape.
Worlidge in his dictionary, edited
in 1881, describes scrape as "a place
baited with chaff or corn to entice
BIRDS" To get into scrape Is to get
into an awkward. embarrassing OF
troublesome predicament.

Methodist church In the United States

Philip Barratt, in Murderkill Hundred.
