How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Calling It jim"

NuIkIHS ~ VIII
THE alcoholic liquor known as gin
takes its name from geneval No,
not the seat of the League of Nations
but the original name of gin" OF
which it is merely contraction.
Geneva" is derived through the
French genievre Guniper and juniper
berry, from the old French geneivre.
That goes back to the Latin, which
reverts, so to speak, to the modern
English form! For it is juniperus,
the Juniper tree" which gives the
berry that havors the alcohol and
makes gin"

Dreaded Pork Chops

Have the pork chops cut rather
thin. Trim all excess fat, dip in
seasoned egg and bread crumbs and
broil, bake or fry, cooking quickly for
the first few minutes, afterward re-
ducing the heat to cook through to
the center of the chops. Serve with
apple sauce or Jelly.

A story recently appeared in the
newspapers about a woman who was
suing for a divorce. She complained
that her husband used to put their
dog at the bridge table, and explain
that while the dog didn't bid very
well, he played his cards better than
she did. Evidently, her husband was
an aggressive type Of partner. The
aggressive partner does all your think
ing for you He considers you dim
wit. who must be guided carefully,
yet firmly, along the road to better
contract. On every lead he thinks
six plays ahead. maps out your de-
fense for you, and then upbraids you
If you don't follow his reasoning.
The aggressive partner is not an
overbidder. Rather, he is fine
card-reader, but he often forgets that
his partner has one more bid. Hav-
ing decided the ultimate destiny Of
the hand, he leaps at once to that
contract, and is very much annoyed
if his partner, who, poor soul! is
only human, goes on bidding.

Funds To Investigate
State Officials Books

NEW YORK-The United Depos-

United States yesterday issued an
appeal to bank depositors for funds
to conduct an investigation of the
records and books of the Banking
Department referring to the liqui-
dation of the Bank of United States
for the last year and half.
For the four years of the exist
ence of the committee nobody con-
nected with, or working for it ever
received a remuneration. The com
mittee feels at this time that money
is necessary to carry on the fight
for the depositors who were robbed
following the crash of the bank,
A bill aimed to make the state
bear the cost of the liquidation of
the Bank of United States and
other closed banks has been pro-
posed to the Governor by the COM
mittee. The Governor has refused
to endorse it. The committee forced
the passage in 1888 of a bill au-
tho-izing the Superintendent of
Banks to borrow money from the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton but SO far no money has been
forthcoming.
