How "Whoopee" Started
 in Its Modern Meaning

Started in Montreal and caught up by the American press, there flourishes lively discussion of "whoOpee," the word.
 Is It slang? Not at all, the papers declare, pointing out that the. good old word used more than three centuries ago by Massinger and Dekker in their play "The Virgin Martyr" which con tains the line, May, lady, for my part, I'll cry whoopee.'
 Well, so it was. That very line is quoted in the Standard Dictionary. But no one in those ancient days ever spoke of making whoopee," and the same authority defines it as originally "a cry of exultation or urging"-a lit- tie like our modern 'wow" or "atta- boy" we assume, but. nevertheless, quite conventional. Reading on, how ever. we find it recognized as slang in its secondary meaning, and when you speak of making whoopee" you can no longer claim to be keeping within the bounds of Seventeenth century English.
 Photographers are still wondering how the word got to America, but 1t seems clear that cowboys were the first to use 1t here, and that circus people took 1t up. But even then 1t remained for New York to transform "whoepee" into noun and add 1t to our vocabulary of alcoholic slang Literary Digest.

How Picture Frames Gained Favor

Picture frames are of comparatively modern origin. There Is no record of their existence earlier than the Six teenth century. Originally frames were made of wood or composition overlaid on wood. The introduction in the Seventeenth century of larger sheets of glass gave the art of frame
 making great impetus and in the Eighteenth century the increased de- mand led to the invention of com position which could be readily nodded into various patterns.

How Term "Red Tape" Originated

During the Eighteenth century it was the custom to tie up legal docu- ments in red tape. Sydney Smith, an eminent writer and clergyman of the time, popularized the term in satiri- cal sense by humorously suggesting that the numerous and lengthy delays attached to all government transac- tions were due to the everlasting ty- ing and untying of red tape on docu- ments and dispatch cases.

In fac. the article leaves no other im- pression than that it was writ ten either with deliberate mal- ice or was designed to clover the trail of interests which have no regard for the Terri tory.
 However, the screed was suf- ficient to raise the ire of the caucus and a resolution was passed "unreservedly denounc- ing and condemning the infer ences of said article, and also the so called prominent resi- dent of Juneau, who, the reso- lution said, "provided to all appearances the inspiration as we'll as the material for said article, and whose motives ap- pear to have their base in the desires of certain interests, themselves monopolist:c, to cir cumvent and defeat for pri- vate gain the proposed legisla- tion and thereby prevent the Territory 'of Alaska and it's citizens from controlling and deriving the full and just ben eft of it's inherent resources.
 The resolution also con- demned and denounced "the unjust and calumnious infer ences" that the Alaska Dele gate "is a party to any steal thy" Ior deceptive effort lo be- tray the people of Alaska by handing over the resources of this Territory to private con- trol an dmonopoly for looting."
 The resolution concluded with warm commendation of the Alaska Delegate and his activities lon behalf of the Ter ritory and urged the Division al Convention ''to take steps to refute and secure retract- ion of the calumnious and in- defensible attempt of the Seattle Star to besmirch the fair reputation of the Alaska Delegate and ta cast re1lectlOn on the integrity of the Legis- lative and Administrative of- ficials of the Alaska govern ment."
 Copies were ordered sent to the convention and the Alaska Delegate.
 B. B. Smith was chairman of the meeting and Holger John son officiated as secretary. Proxies for the local delega- tion have been sent to Demo- cratic National Committeeman J. J. Connors, who will repre- sent them at the convention.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The ninety
nine-year term conviction of Roger
Touhy and two fellow gangSters for
kidnapping John Factor, today be-
came a test case after an Illinois
supreme court ruling that every
Cook county grand jury indictment
returned in recent years is illegal.
The ruling was handed down yes
terday in a minor robbery case
which had been appealed to the
high court. The majority opinion
of the court, written by Judge War
rem H. Orr, Carthage, held that the
present method of choosing Cook
county grand juries is illegal.
William Scott Stewart, attorney
for the notorious gangsters, an
nounced that he would make use of
the new ruling as grounds for a
demand that his clients be given a
new trial. Every indictment returned
since Chicago was incorporated as
a metropolis is thrown in doubt by
the ruling.
States Attorney Thomas J.
Courtney said he would ask for a
rehearing before the high court of
the appeal which resulted in the
ruling. Leading jurists met during
the night to decide upon course
to block wholesale freeing of &C

officials of the army today for most
Of the accidents which have be-
fallen the air corps during its first
week of carrying the air mail.
Part of the responsibility was
laid to criticism and skepticism
voiced in civilian flying circles
which voiced doubts that the air
corps could do the job. This, &C
cording to one high army official,
engendered a spirit of recklessneSs
among the younger pilots which
caused them to ignore the warn

Braunau is the birthplace
of Adolf Hitler, Germany's
Nazi chancellor, and by CO.
incidence Hitler was at Mu-
mich, siXty-eight miles west
of Braunau, attending a giant
patriotic German Nazi rally
that will last through the
weekend.
It was believed possible that the
gathering of the German Nazis at
Munich-center of Austrian Nazis'
activities since their expulsion from
their own country-WaS connected
with the report of a massing on the
frontier.
The government is extremely anx-
louS over the Nazi situation because
of the Ultimatum by Theo Habicht.
German leader of Austrian Nazis
refuging across the frontier.
Habicht in wireless speech Mon
day from Munich gave the govern
ment until noon next Wednesday
to reach a German" solution of the
NaI-DOllfuss dispute. A German
solution means a NaH solution.
Hitler's disapproval of Habicht's
speech did not reassure Austria, and
when intelligence agents of the
Heimwehr brought the report OF
massing Of armed Austrian NaHs
across the inn from Braunau, only
155 miles west of Vienna itself, the
government acted quickly.
Specifically, the intelligence
agents contended that the 10000
were members of the so-called
Austrian Legion, prepared to march
into Austria in an attempt to seize
power, and that they might not
even await expiration four days
hence of the Habicht ultimatum in
their name.

MEYER-KISER
BANK CASE IS
BEFORE JURY
AffidavitS Turned Over to
TaIeSmen by Prosecutor
Herbert Wilson.

Talesmen of the Marion county
grand jury today were considering
the Meyer-Kiser bank case, referred
to them yesterday by Herbert E.
Wilson, Marion county prosecutor.
In laying the bank case before the
grand jury, Mr.. wilson stated that
charges made against four officials
of the defunct bank we're of such
great importane" as to warrant such
action.
Affidavits were signed Tuesday by
Thmoas E. Garvin, receiver for the
bank, against Sol Meyer, Ferd S.
Meyer, Julian j. Kiser and Melville
S. Coin, the four former officials of
the bank, charging them with en-
bezzlement of bank funds, con-
spiracy to accept deposits in an in
solvent institution, and accepting
deposits in an insolvent institution.
Turned Over to Wilson
Previous to the signing of the
affidavits, Alvah j. Rucker, spe-
cial investigator named by Judge
Earl R. Cox in circuit court, to in
vestigate the circumstances sur
rounding defunct In d i a n pol S
banks, read a forty-page type
written report outlining the banks
alleged condition.
Judge Cox instructed that the
affidavits be delivered to Mr.. Gar
vim and then sent to Judge Frank
P. Baker of criminal court for ap-
proval. Judge Baker pointed out
that all affidavits must be signed
by the prosecutor and the docu-
ments were finally turned over to
Mr. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson charged that the affi-
davits as drawn by Mr.. Rucker were
subject to a motion to quash. He
charged that they were not prop
erly drawn.
Mattice Is Named
Floyd j. Mattice, chief deputy
prosecutor was named yesterday by
Mr.. Wilson as special grand jury
deputy prosecutor to conduct the in
vestigation.
Mr.. Rucker and his aids have
completed a five months investiga
ton of the closed bank. A former
grand jury heard events incident to
the closing of the Washington Bank
and Trust Company and the State
Savings and Trust Company, but re-
fused to return true bills against
any person or persons connected
with either bank.
The grand jury report also set out
that the evidence obtained by Judge
Cox and his court attaches was not
sufficient to hold any particular in
dividual criminally liable for affairs
