How Names Were Selected
for Pieces of Airpianes

Don't you often wonder how, when
something new is invented, the
names are found for various parts
OF it?
When airplanes came into use the
name "petrol tank was easily bor-
rowed, as an airplane tank is SINH
lar to thai of motor car But what
was the central body of the plane
to be called?
In shape that part was something
like shuttle, so it was christened
the which is merely the
French for shuttle. Similarly, allie
ron is the French for wing-tip, says
Pearson's London Weekly.
The name cockpit, for the part oc-
cupied by the pilot, was borrowed
from warships, on which the cock
pit is the cabin used by some of
the officers. 4
Why cockpit, by the way? Be-
cause that cabin on board ship DC
cupies the place where originally
the cocks carried on many mGn-of-
war used to fight their battlesh

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Fire Prevention Week will be OBJ
served throughout the nation from
October 9 to Is, inclusive.
"The principal object of this oc-
casion is to direct attention to the
unnecessary civic loss caused by fire
and to inspire public activity against
such losses which annually destroy
permanently so much material
wealth and resources. Destruction OF
property by fire constitutes one OF
the greastest economic wastes, and
injuries and loss of life therefrom
become an inexcusable evil.
statistics reveal that 80 per cent.
of all fires occurring are preventable,
thus creating an unwarranted and
needless waste which every citizen
should fell it his duty to aid in re-
dncing.

A SAFETY YARDsTICK

We do not profess to be expert In
the field of traffic safety. There are
those whose business it is to study
the causes and cures of the automo-
bile malady that takes a toll OF
some 100000 lives year.
But, inexpert as we may be, the
proposal of the American Legion in
Maryland and the district OF Column
bia to create in the Baltimore-Wash-
ington Highway National Labora-
tory of Traffic Safety strikes us as
being simple, direct and eminently
sensible procedure. Most important
because it would serve as medium
through which to impress on the tax
payer, on you and me, our respon-
sibility in demanding the type Oh
highways which would give us at
least an even chance. After all, the
motorist isn't completely to blame.
The trouble, today, is that too
many people know too little about
too many national problems, and
that includes the traffic problem. The
public has no opinion as to what it
should expect or demand in return
for the huge gasoline and motor
vehicle tax it pays-what is practic-
al and what isn't.
All sorts of remedies have been
suggested. But what we need is a
more complete understanding OF the
simple why, when and where. For
example, every on knows that ade-
quate visibility is essential to safety.
But we realize, too, that the light
ing of great proportion of our
highways would be impossible. What
we want to know what is what type
highway, under what conditions, can
be practically and economically
lighted.
What the American public needs
is some standard by which to judge
what they are getting; some mea-
surement of what can be done in
this modern day to make highways
safer than they are. Whether such
a safety model, or yardstick, is 10
Gated in this state or another is OF
no Importance. The important thing
is that we do need a national pre-
cedent and example for all to fol-
low. From that point of view, there
could be no more fortunate choice
than the highway leading to and
from the country's capital. And the
idea, as Commander Barr of Mary
land, points out, is SO fundamental
that every state might well develop
model safety highway or highways
Why not have one of our own?

SENATOR CAPPER TO CARRY ON
FIGHT FOR WAR REFERENDUM

Declaring that "a demand for the
right to vote on sending our boys
into foreign slaughter pens is ring
ing through every state in North
America" Senator Arthur Capper of
Kansas in statement issued through
the National Council for Prevention
of War, served notice that he will
reintroduce in the next session of
Congress his referendum bill giving
the American people the final say-so
on war.
Neither Congress nor the Presi-
dent should have the right to declare
war until the people have considered
the question and by their votes have
consented to it," the Senator stated.
"Those who will have to do the dying
and have to bear the unspeakable
burdens and griefs of war should
have something to say about 1t when
the war lords of Europe undertake
to drag our American boys into a
foreign war;"
Senator Capper brushed aside the
argument that wars come too sud
denly to allow time for a popular
vote, for he maintained, "wars are
a long time brewing before hostilities
break out" He also pointed to the
testimony of Admiral MCGOWAN, an
officer in the Warld War, before a
Senate Committee in which the Adj
miral said: "The United States has
long since graduated out of the
stagecoach and pony express class,
and there is no reason why in this
day of railroads and airplanes and
telegraph and radio we could not
refer the question of war or peace
10 the people of the country and have
their answer back within week
indeed, within 48 hours, if absolutely
necessary"
Senator Capper went on to say
that 'in the United States public
sentiment is virtually unanimous
against being drawn into foreign
war. II this fact were brought out
in national referendum" he con-
tinued, sit would have powerful
effect in maintaining this country's
stand for neutrality and peace and
would have powerful effect through
out the world"
The Senator also made clear that
his proposed measure would not pre-
vent the President from using the
army and navy to repel invasion or
deal with insurrection.

EASTERN WOMEN HELP LAUNCH
NATIONWIDE TAX
CRUSADE

Chicago, Sept. 8th,-Women from
the east today Joined forces with
others representing 29 states in
launching organization of the Ma
tional Consumers Tax Commission
in what they termed Americas first
nationwide crusade against local,
state and national taxes that are in
creasing the cost of living and raid
ing the family pocketbook."
Announcement of the setting up
of the tax commission, which has
established headquarters here, and
statement of its detectives came
from the president of the group,
Mrs. Kenneth G. Frazier, of Dallas,
Tex, long prominent in consumer
campaigns in the southwest and ac-
tive in the South Wide Association
of Consumers.
The eastern section of the country,
Mrs. Frazier said, is represented by
the following national committee
women: Mrs. William H. Beacon,
Wilmington, DEL; and Mrs. l.. L..
Giles, Clifton Forge, Va.
Work of organization is expected
to proceed at a rapid pace in the
states in the east, Mrs. Frazier said.
She declared the commission has
set at it's goal enlistment of two mil
lion consumers in national organ
ization ultimately to have units in
every city and town in the United
States. She said plans call for mem
bers to pay annual dues of so cents
each.
1--WE all know certain taxes are
necessary for the maintenance of
good government and of proper pub
lie services. But we know also that
all taxes are not necessary or in the
public interest, and we intend to
analyze and study taxes, good and
bad, then fight those which do not
contribute in proportion to what
they take from our homes and
tables"

Why Word "Controller"
Is Used "Comptroller"

The spelling Comptroller" was
introduced about 1900 and arose
from mistake derivation of the
word from "compt," an obsolete
form of "count" suggested by the
French "compte," states writer
in the Indianapolis News.
Since controllers business was
to examine and verify accounts it
was supposed that the word should
be spelled Comptroller" The err
roneous form now survives only in
certain official usage; as, comp
troller-general of the United States,
comptroller of the currency, and
comptroller of the Post Office depart
ment. Controller" is the correct
spelling for ordinary purposes. In
both cases the word is pronounced
the same 'kon-trol-er," accent on
the second syllable.
