How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON
Coming Up C Scratch"

Coming Up te Scratch"
TO SAY of man that he comes up
to scratch is to indicate that he
meets the requirements of the particu-
lar situation confronting him. and, by
inference, that he is able to cope with
whatever may be in store for him.
AS is the case with many other
phrases that are now used metaphori-
cally in everyday communication, "com
ing up to scratch" once had literal
sense.
The phrase comes from the world
of pugilism. Years ago, before the
advent of the modern fistic amphi-
theater. the practitioners of the manly
art, so-called, engaged each other on
the bare turf.
Their fighting area was not the
rOped square. which was a later re-
finement, but was simply an Enclosure
marked off with deep scratches dug
into the ground with any instrument
available for the purpose. The inside
OF this Enclosure was again marked or
scratched off with lines upon which
the respective contestants would place
one foot, so coming up to the scratch
line. when prepared to advance toward
the other.
It is from these circumstances that
there arose the expression "coming up
to scratch" to indicate somebody who
was on the spot and ready for action.

have resulted in the uncovering of
many pieces of pottery. charred In
dian corn, hickory nuts. and bits of
three-ply plated rope.
According to Stirling these frag-
ments of pottery fitted together form
deliberately designed pieces giving evi.
dence of high-typed CahOkia village.
The things unearthed were not found
under the mound as usual, but in it.

Through the cut bark Na-quil could
see the white heart of the tree.
"What a strong heart" he said. at
will be better gift for my son than
many blue beads. / shall give it to
him."
So Na-quil stopped the river and
picked up the little tree. He flew to
the mountain where he had left his
wife and his little brown son. He hur-
ried into the house. The baby winked
when the baby's eyes winked shut,
Na-quil caused the strong heart of
the tree to enter and live In his son.
When other people heard Of this,
they named the boy Strong Heart.

Nothing so stirs the imagination OF
the human race as buried treasure.
From childhood, man wants to dig for

for it Expeditions constantly are be-
ing organized to unearth hidden

maps are still handed down in some
