Names Of Great Lakes
Both Indian and French

Gannett's "Origin of Place Names

opinions differ as to the origin of
the name Huron. According to some
it is corruption of "Hure" given

means "the head Of wild boar" 1t
is believed by some that it is from
the Indian words "onkwe honwe,"
meaning "true man." Still others
believe it is corruption by French
from the Indian ''irri ronon," mean
Ing "cat tribe" Erie is from 'Erige,"
or "Erike," the name of now ex-
tinct Indian tribe. The word signi-
fies "cat" or wildcat" Some author

pect of rocks, hills and water"
Michigan is an Indian word said by

Ancient Burial Places
Uncovered in Bavaria

A settlement dating from about
300 B. G. has been found near Oster-
hofen. Lower Bavaria. Excavations
have turned up vessels Of various
kinds. urns, ceramics painted red
and a milestone. Cave dwellings
from the Neolithic age were also
found nearby. Near Darmitz, not
far from Erlangen, an urn burial
place dating from the Late Bronze
age is being uncovered. An accident
has further led to the discovery of
finds from the Roman period near
Gunzberg on the Danube. Men dig
ging ditch came upol Roman
grave some five feet down, and a

include a bronze coin bearing the

Denny, a Dog Hero

He was "only dog" but he was the
hero of five battles on the Western
front, he was honorably discharged
from the army at Camp Grant, ILL.,,
after Is months in the thick of fighting
in France and Belgium, and when he
died last year he was given military
funeral by an American Legion post.
For Denny was member OF the
Harry F.. Kelley post Of the Legion
of Elkhorn, Wis. He was born in
dugout of the Thirty second division
in Belgium in 1918. Sergt. Tom
O'Keefe adopted the puppy. The an
imal was gassed at Montdiddier and
sent to a base hospital for treatment
as we're his doughboy friends. When
the dog was cured Sergeant O'keefe
had been transferred to the First oil
vision and Denny went along. After
his experience with gas at Nlontdiddier
his master fashioned gas mask for
him. This mask never left the dog
until the armistice.
Denny went with the Army of Occupa-
ton into Germany. Perhaps the dark
est hours of his whole IL years came
when it seemed inevitable that he
must be left behind us his master was
about to sail for home. A deluge of
rain saved Denny and Sergeant
O'Keefe from being separated. De
MED the right of taking Denny on
shipboard O'Keefe struggled him on
under his raincoat. and brought him
back safely to this country.
The National Legion convention at
Kansas City in 1927 presented Denny
with an @. ID. blanket with one wound
stripe and medal testifying to his
participation in five major battles.

WORLD
WAR
YARNS
Such InformaIityl
by Lieut.. Frank E. Hogon

Sometimes the American doughboy
may have been daZZled by the sar-
torial splendor and naughty demeanor
of German officer prisoners-b was
never dismayed. One front in 1918
saw the capture of sizeable bag of
such prisoners.
These were brought to the rear
where an intelligence officer ques-
toned them as the doughboys guarded
their prisoners zealously. One of the
Germans grew FESTIVE under the atten-
ton he was receiving from the man
with the bayonet.
"See here" he demanded finally of
The intelligence man. Don't you re
quire any discipline Of your American
troops toward officers? This soldier
here" and he indicated watchful
infantryman," is grossly familiar. The
pig calls me, an officer, by my first
name Heinie, whenever he speaks to
me!''
Illustrating the point further is the
experience of a wounded American
who, from his prone position In
wheat field, witnessed the stately APP
proach of German officer prisoner,
resplendent with his medals and wear
ing monocle. From time to time the
huge man turned his head nervously
and appeared to finch as from ticklish
contact with a bayonet.
So he was, for as the little party
drew near the wounded American per-
ceived that the German advanced at
the will of an American negro, equal
ly as large as his gorgeous prisoner.
"Hi-yi, white folks" was the col.
pred mans salutation. "Ah doesn't
right know what Use got but Use
a-br:ngin' it along!"
