Kansas and Arkansas

Iowa is pronounced eye-o-wah,

kansas, used as the name Of the
state, river and city in Arkansas. is
pronounced ar-kan-saw. with chief
accent on first syllable. The name
of Arkansas City. Kan. is pro-
nounced ar-kan-zas, with accent on
second syllable. Au Sable is pro-
nounced o-say-bl, with accent on

state names says that the similar
ity Of the sound of the word Kan.
sas" with the syllable ARC" pre-
fixed. and of the word Arkansas"
is probably accidental, and the
theories about the latter names be-
ing derived from the former are
further weakened by reading the
accounts Of early chroniclers and
finding there the various forms Of
"Arkansas" as listed previously.
That there were two groups Of In
dians, the Kansa and the Akansa,
with similar sounding names, is
affirmed by Marquette's mention Of
this in 1878. According to various
authorities, the name Arkansas is a
Gallicized form of the Indian name
Quapaw, and appears in over 70
variations.

SheIlac From Beetles

Shellac is used on articles which
are seen in every home, but not
one person in a thousand could
name the source Of this useful COM
modify, says London Tit-Bits maya
zine Shellac is the overcoat or out
side shell of the ''laccifer lacca," a
tiny beetle which lives in India.
About 1901 shells 60 to make one
pound of shellac. Originally the
shells were made into a red dye,
but scientists have made a cheaper
synthetic dye, equally good. Shell
lac has thousand uses. It is used
for sizing cloth, felt hats, millinery
materials, playing cards, plaster
and paper. 1t is used as a floor
and furniture protective, is coated
on mirror backs, tennis racket
strings, tinfoil, gold leaf, rubber,
and leather. Linoleum has shellac
in it and so has shoe polish, Itho-
graph ink and cold top enamels,
and the wireless and electrical in
dustries use thousands of gallons.
The world uses about 10000, 900
pounds annually.

Obtaining Altar Of Roses

Altar, or otto. Of roses is a per-
fume or essential oil distilled from
certain varieties Of rose. Flowers
are gathered and at once placed In
copper stills heated with a wood
fire, and partially filed with spring
water. The distillate from the first
operation is again distilled and the
distillate received in narrow-necked
bottles. This distillate contains a
large proportion Of the oil suspend
ed in the water, and on allowing 1t
to stand at a temperature not ex-
ceeding 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the
oil gradually rises to the top and is
skinned off. About one ounce Of
altar is the yield from $50 pounds
of rose-leaves.

No Division Between the

Of copyists making mistakes, and

His name was EuSebiuS Heirony-

st. Jerome. He lived in a barren
cell in Palestine and he carried
through, practically maided, his
great work which is called the
Latin Vulgate." His New Tesla

his day would have been capable Of

Invented Game of Chess

1t is said that the politicians of
Hindustan invented the game of
chess, or board-warfare, to keep the
minds of men off real warfare. The
Hindu name was chatur-anga, the
four angas or members of the army
elephants, horses, chariots, and
foot-soldiers. Finding Of well-worn
chessmen on the site of the ancient
city of Tepe Gawra in northern Irak
is evidence, says London Tit-Bits
magazine, that chess or some very
similar game was played by the peo-
pie of Mesopotamia as early as
1000 B. c. The Persians called the
game chetrang; the Arabs, She
tranj; later the Italians corrupted
this to scacchi; whence the Ger
man schach. the French echec, and
our chess.

Coffee a Most Flexible
Bean Used in Many Ways

The world does move, as proved
by the historical fact that once it
was necessary to bootleg" coffee,
notably in Mohammedan countries,
because it was classified as an in
toxicant and banned by religious
regulation. The advent Of the cot
fee house." or cafe" centers OF po-
litical, artistic. and social life in
many a country of the western
world, marked the triumph of sci
ence because it had been discov-
cred that coffee was only mild
stimulant, and there is a world OF
difference between a stimulant and
an intoxicant, observes Jessie Marie
DeBoth in the Boston Globe.
Coffee was not even known to be
edible or potable before the Ninth
century of the Christian era, and it
was not until the middle of the Six
teenth century that the ban against
it was permanently removed every
where in the world. Originally
called "cawaah," in its Oriental
spelling, coffee came by way of Eu-
rope into the Baltic sea area, thence
into Holland and England, and
thence to North America. The west
ern world dominates the coffee
trade and ranks high in coffee use.
When we step in to buy our IA
vorite blend, ground to suit our own
method of brewing, for just few
cents a pound, it seems hard to
realize that when the coffee houses
in England first had it coffee cost
$40 a pound. Naturally, it was not
then a household beverage, and
many are the stories written around
the meetings Of the big-wigs, intelli'
gentsia and better financed leader:
of the day, who gathered in the pub
lie coffee houses to discuss the prob
lens of the moment.
Most coffee is blended from a
number of different kinds of beans
each with a character of its own
What you like depends upon you
personal preference for certain O
these characteristics, and there i!
everything available from the light
mild blend to the heavy, mouth
filing flavor that seems to fill thu
house with its tantalizing odor.

Little was known of the disease
carrying ability Of flies until the
time of the Spanish-American war.
Scientists studying the typhoid fever
epidemic at Camp Chickamauga
found that the food Of soldiers en-
camped there was contaminated
with the germs of the disease by
flies which had fed in the latrines
and Travelled from them to the kitch-

has been repeatedly shown that
house flies carry other diseases,

!. OF WAGE BILL
President Not Fully Victor.
ious in Measure Await
ing Signature
By MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

+: WASHINGTON, June Is. (UP)
President Roosevelt's two-year
fight for wage-hour legislation,
keystone of his social reform pro-
gram, ended in triumph yesterday
when congress completed action
on a compromise bill designed to
establish accent minimum hour
ly wage and a 40-hour maximum
work week in interstate industries
in seven years.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not entirely
victorious. The bill is an emascu-
lated version of measures passed
in the house and senate and was
virtually dictated by rebellious
southern Democrats who threat
ened to bolt unless their indus
tries were accorded broad exemp-
tions.
The measure, supported by or
ganized labor and opposed by big
business as represented by the
National Manufacturers associa-
ton and the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, be-
comes effective 100 days after the
president signs it.
1t will achieve the 1910 goal
by easy stages, beginning with a
25-cent wage and a 44-hour week
in affected industries the first year
End u ieating' to- SO cents and
40 hours in three years.
Thereafter quasi-public indus
trial boards dominated by a fed
eral administrator, will fix the 40
40 scale according to sectional
economic conditions, and, in con-
Torrance with the major conces-
sion to the South, will exempt in
dustries which can prove the
scales will work an economic hard
ship.
Child labor under IA years of
age is outlawed except in season
al and other specified industries.
Workers specifically exempted in
clude professional men, execu-
tives, farm hands, administration
officials and those in the fishing
industry, air transport, local re-
failing establishments, etc.
The volatile issue was finally
disposed of when the two cham
bers adopted the conference re-
port on the compromise. The
house voted first, accepting the
report 29O to 80 after overriding

in PAST YEAR
GIG Enrolled in County;
Some Aided to Construc-
tive Citizenship

Teachers and students of Adult
Educational work in Henderson
county at rally yesterday after
noon at the city hall heard re-
ports of the work done during the
past year and laid plans for the
year to come.
Mrs. Allie c. Wilson, supervisor
of adult education in Henderson
and Pennsylvania counties presid-
ed at the meeting which was open
ed with the invocation by Rev.
Broadus E. Wall, pastor of the
First Baptist church.
Mrs. Wilson welcomed the stu
dents and teachers after which the
adult song, Higher Ground" was
sung.
Merida Hyder, 53-year-old Hen
derson county man, told of how
he had learned to read and write
and how this knowledge had help
ed him to become better citizen.
He is now able to read his Bible
and through this has become an
earnest church worker, has return
ed his children to school and been
able to make many helpful con-
tributions to others less fortunate.
Mrs. Kate Dobbs sang solo,
"Trees," after which Mrs. Edith
Morgan spoke on the four years
of development as outlined under
the adult education plan. The first
year was based on service towards
changed lives; the second, the past
year, towards changed homes, and
the next year towards changed
communities.
Rev. George Pennell, pastor of
the Calvary Baptist church and
one of the sponsors of adult edu-
cation, commended Mr.. Hyder
highly on the progress he has
made. The Calvary church has
established a special fund from
which the adult education teach
ers have been able to draw for
their needs.
During the past year 1873 gar
ments and 80 pairs of shoes have
been furnished from this fund;
medicine and food has been pur-
chased; two families have been
moved to better homes, and trans
portation to and from church ser
vices has been provided.
Mrs. Carl Snow, who has been
engaged for % years in educa-
tional activities in Honduras, gave
an interesting talk on her work
there. 9,
Rev. Mr.. Vrooman, retired
Presbyterian minister, commend
ed the teachers and pupils on the
work they have been doing and
expressed the appreciation of the
people of the town for that work:
Mrs. John Forrest, chairman OF
the advisory committee for adult
education, also spoke.
Those engaged in the movement
here feel that her aid in this work
has been invaluable. ,
The Woman's club presented
the adult students and teachers
with a shelf of books of the cir
culating library. =

three colored, showed that S1z
