Mouth Oreoa Really
Old Musical Deuice

The probable ancestor of the mouth
organ was the Greek syrlnx, one OF
the most ancient of musical lnstru
ments. II was formed of number
of short hollow reeds OF graduated
lengths, fixed together by wax. The
lower ends were closed and the upper
ones open and on level, SO that the
lips could pass from one to another.
The modern mouth organ is the inven.
ton of Christian Messner, of Tros.
singer, Wurtemburg, Germany about
the year 1880. The factory that he
founded still gives employment to
5000 workers, not counting 5000 home
workers In the town. Messner got the
Idea after buying chlld's trumpet
at fair, to place a number of trum
pets side by side, each giving DIFF.
ferent sound. He produced a piece
Of wood with breathing holes In 1t, to
which was fixed lead plate with
brass tongues.
From Trossingen the Industry spread
to other places In Germany, notably
Kllngenthal In saxony. During the
World war attempts were made by
other countries, such as Japan and
the United States, to gain a footing
in this Industry, but Germany soon re-
covered her trade. Skilled workers.
cheap production and an old estab-
lished industry give the German fac
tories the advantage.

"Fip-Jacks" Made No
Appeal to This Poet

Taylor, the poet who lived and wrote
early In the Seventeenth century, evil
IDENTIFY failed TO fully appreciate the
Shrove Tuesday pancake, or flipjacks.
Dealing with the pancake custom he
wrote: There is II bell rung called
the Pancake Bell the sound of which
makes thousands OF people distracted,
and fOrgetful either of manners or hu
manlty; and then there Is thing
called wheaton flour, which the cooks
do mingle with water, eggs, spice, and
other traglcal ana magical enchant-
ments; and then they put 1t by little
and little into frying pan Of boiling
suet, where It makes confined dis
nal Kissing like the Lethear snakes In

the cook, II Is transformed into the

ignorant people do devour very

Plant That Changes

enabled to move to another site, the
means of locomotlon being tlattened
disc that acts as sort OF foot. The
moving process Is repeated until a sat
lsfactory position for development has
been found.
Another plant, the Clusia, lodges its
seeds In the branches OF tree, whence
the roots grow downward and strike In
the soil From these suspended roots
branches grow on all Sides until the
tree by which they are supported be
comes literally suffocated. These and
other queer happenings In plant life
are related In "The New Book of
Gardening"

Explaining "GrinRo"

G.F. Weeks lnclines to the view. that
"Gringo" was derived from the word
Greek" He says: "When English
speaking people began coming into
Mexico they found the people with
whom they came In contact unable
to understand their language, just as
they themselves were unable to un-
derstand that Of the Mexlcans When
addressed by a native quite naturally
they used the familiar expression,
THAT Is all Greek to me-" The word
Greek in Spanish Is "Grlego" (prO-
nounced Gree-aye-go), and what more
natural than that the Mexicans, hear
Ing this word used so much, came TO
speak Of the foreigners as "Gree-aye-
goes" which easily enough became
corrupted into "gringoes." This ex-
preston was heard wherever English
speaking foreigners were encountered.

THREE "A" STATIONS
LICENSED LAST WEEK
Transfer Of Many to High Powered
Glass Lessons Differences
Between Groups.

Three new class "A" broadcasting
stations were licensed during the past
week by the Department of Commerce
and one plant was transferred from
class "A" to class "B"
The new class "B" broadcaster Is
WMBB Of Chicago. which will op-
crate as before. on 500 watts, ESQ
meters and 1900 kilocycles. The ad-
dition of WMBB makes total Of los
stations in class "B."
In fact, with the transfer of at
least one class "a" station to the
ranks of high-power broadcasters
nearly every week, some of the dis
unction between the two groups is
passing. Until the past few months
all class "A" stations operated on a
wave length Of less than $50 meters
and the 'B" broadcasters were all
above that mark. Since the class "B'
wave lengths have been exhausted the
department has had to grant class
b licenses to many stations to which
IT could not assign "B" wave length.
And even the power distinction has
been lessened somewhat since the de-
partment has been allowing class "a"
stations to use 500 watts, which is the
same as most class "B" stations en-
