Notable Changes Made
IN Meaning Of Words

OF the great mass Of words In the
so-called Anglo-Saxon tongue which
pass current today as English, less
than one-twentieth are entitled to rank
as Anglo-Sax0n, writes DR.. F. Fl. VIE
telly. So far is the English language
from being AnglO-Saxon tongue that 1t
is the most composite language known
today. In none other do foreign
words play so important a part, and
by none other have they been assimi-
lated in SO great number. From the
very beginning the settlers on Brit
aims shores forced their various d.
alects on the natives, and their con-
querors were not slow in following
their example.
That the language Is In constant
state of mutation can be shown con-
clusively by many words the meanings
Of which have varied as the years
rolled on. The word agony, for in
stance, was used originally to desig-
nate the contortions or twistings Of
the body, resOrted to by athletes and
wrestlers in public contests or exhibit
tons of feats of strength. The word
came to us from the Greek agon, an
assembly, or a place Of contest, from
ago, to assemble.
In early English, an agony was a
violent contest or struggle, and few
years ago it was used to mean "the
fad or fashion of the day." thus agony
became synonymous with ''style," and
those who followed the style had ever
ready on their lips the burning ques-
ton, whats the agonyT But in the
course of the transition from one
meaning to the other, the word itself
assumed a third and a much more
spiritual and expressive sense, and
same to connote anguish" that is,
intense suffering and excruciating
pain.
What will the bachelor girls think
when they are informed that the term
bachelor owes its origin to the Latin
vacca, a cow? And as for the "girl"
part, that Is an evolution from gerle
as used in the "Vision Of Piers Plow-
man." by William Langland, written
about 1882, in which the term desig-
mates boys" In middle English, girl
was sometimes used Unfortunately
to mean young person of either sex.
Years ago folketymologist traced
this word to the Anglo-Saxon ceorl
(ke-erD, a man, later corrupted to
churl, vulgarian.
Originally bachelor embraced both
sexes, and Ben Jonson, when writing
Of certain fascinating beauty whom
he dubbed the Magnetic Lady," said:
We do not trust your uncle; he would
keep you
A bachelor still, by keeping your por-
ton;
And keep you not alone without a
husband,
But in q sickness.

States Lines Marked
by Mason and DIXON

Mason and Dixon's line is the
boundary between the states of Penn
sylvania and Maryland, from the Del
aware border to that Of West Vir-
ginia. After years of dispute between
the proprietors of the Pennsylvania
and Maryland colonies, boundary
compromise was arrived at in 1760
and two English surveyors, Charles
Mason and jeremiah Dixon, were ap-
pointed to run the line. This they
began In 1853, working westward for
four years, by which time they car
ried their survey over the mountains
to a point pa miles from the Del
aware river. Indian hostility made
further work impossible at the time,
and the line was completed later by
Others. The whole route was marked
by milestones, every fifth one bear
ing on one side the arms Of Lord Bal
timore and on the other those of Will
liam Penn. The exact latitude Of the
line is 80 degrees 43 minutes 26.3 sec
onds north.
In the days Of the slavery question.
Mason and Dixon's line was often pop
ularly projected westward, the name
being given to the boundary between
free and slave territory.

Unusual Episode

"Saw funny thing yesterday, as
was coming here on the train," re-
lated Sandstone Smith of Rampage.
"A young couple across the aisle from
me talked about going to Kay See,
and acted like they might have been
just married. When the train came
to Hooraw, back down the road a
piece, the young man went out on the
car platform, apparently to look at
something, and a bunch of young fell
lers rushed around the corner of the
depot and yanked him of from the
train"
did they know himT' inquired q
nearer.
II don't know. The last thing
saw four Of 'em had him by the cor
ners and were humping him against
the depot, like they either knew him
or had heard of him, and the young
lady, that I judged to be the bride,

Perhaps This Is Why
Market Vendors Are

A reporter on the Los Angeles
Times was sent out on very impor-
tant mission to find out where An
gelenos make most Of their foolish
remarks. Was it at the zoo? at the
railroad stations2 at information
desks? Not at all. Most of the
senseless remarks made in Los An
geles, he found, were made in the big
public markets.
Sometimes I think half the funny
slips in the city are made right in
front of this stall here" volunteered
one vender. "Only the other day a
young woman came up and asked for
pound of bacon already fried. OF
course. what she wanted was bacon
already sliced"
Another vender spoke up: "Once a
young man came and asked me for
some eggplants. started picking
some out. He said he didn't want
those things, he wanted eggplants.
l replied they were eggplants. Well,
we argued back and forth, and then
he clinched the argument by saying
that he knew they weren't eggplants,
because eggplants are fiat and round.
