Numerous Explanations
Of Origin of 'Hoosier'

Some IA explanations Of the origin
Of the term "Hoosier" have been Of
fered. Meredith Nicholson, in 1.-THE
Hoosier," discussed most Of them.
The earliest record Of the use Of
the word is thought to be John Fin
ley's poem, ''The Holsters Nest"
printed in the Indianapolis Journal,
January 1, 1880. It was argued that
the word must have been well known
at that time or Finley would not
have used it with no trace Of doubt
that 1t would be understood.
Such authorities as Governor
Wright and the Indiana historian,
o. H. Smith, were convinced that
Hoosier is corruption Of the pio-
neer greeting, who's here?" Sui
grove, another writer of Indiana his.
tory, alluded to the word as devel-
opment from ''husher," term CIV
en- in pioneer times to a good fighter
who was able to hush his adver-
saries, and applied to the "greenies
from the New Purchase" who went
down the Ohio river to work, and
fought laborers from Kentucky.
There seems also to be some sup
port for the explanation that it is a
INSTRUMENTATION Of "hussar," pop
ularized by Polish colonel who lee
tured through the state in the early
days, notes writer in the Indianap-
oils News. 1t presumes that young
Indiana men were captivated by the
hussars as pictured by the lecturer,
and took the name and pronuncia-
ton upon themselves. Hoosier was
a family name heard along the riv-
err, and another explanation is that
the fondness Of Indiana people for
cookies made by a Louisville baker
named Hoosier gained them the dis
tinction Of being called 'Hoosier's
customers" and finally, Hoosiers.
In the carolinas, Virginia, Ken
lucky and Missouri, a rough coun-
try man is called hoosier without
reference to Indiana, and it is
thought by some that the name can
be traced to a time earlier than
the opening of the Northwest Terri
tory.

were uneventful, even if highly amusing to Luis Barro and in aI- other way to Betty Mary herself. She bade Hope and Sherry goodby with profuse thanks, forcing them to admire the drawing dutifully. T have to give this copy to Don Luis" she declared, flor he is my escort tonight. I hope I can do you both again sometime"
 Hope and Sherry left the cafe and walked to their car with chips on their shoulders, saying not a word until they had turnled on the car light.
 Hell and damn!" breathed Hope, who was not given to profanity at all.
 "she slipped me a note," said Sherry.
 "Yeah? No foolin'l"
 They read it carefully, heads to- gether.
 "In be doggoned!" muttered Sherry then.
 Me, too," Hope echoed. "That gals had us on the pan, and no mistaking that. Whatll we do with her now? Good glory, Sherry!"
 Nothing we can do but wait And stay away from her, I guess"
 They drove back across the line, went directly to the Border Patrol office, and got the man in the tower crows nest on the tele- phone.
 :, Listen here, sam," Sherry growled at his fellow officer, you can see the Montezuma Hotel from up there. Well, listen - you watch the fourth floor windows like a hawk, or I'll break your confound- ed neck, you hear? If you re anything hanging in window, any towels or handkerchiefs, you let me or Hope know at once, see? ain't jokin'."
 What's up?" his friend Sam demanded. You and Hope up to some devilment?"
 Never mind. You watch that northeast window, fourth floor"
 "Okay, okay. What you and Hope gonna be doing, though?"
 We're gonna be watching 1t, too."

 IN STAMPS
Were They Americas Eiref Aefronopaeyeo


 THEY were studying the stars A over America as early as the beginning of the Christian era. They studied them from the heights of a towering observatory, which was but one evidence of perhaps the greatest aboriginal civilization the new world has ever known, the Mayan.
 Exploring centuries later in the ruins of the great Mayan city, Chichen Itza, situated in Yucatan, archeologists have been able to re- assemble this early observatory stone by stone. Actually it is a tower within a tower built on a double platform of solid rock.
 At the towers top the Mayans had built a small chamber. Through it stone-lined passage: way looks due west to the horizon line. Scientists, making careful observations over a period of years, found that the diagonal from the inner right jamb to the outer left jamb is the line on which the sun sets on March 21 and Sept. g, the dates of spring and autumn equinoxes. Still other studies showed sightings indicat- ing the time of the summer sol- stice, June g each year.
 Thus the Mayans displayed re- markable astronomical knowledge. They were very probably Amer ica's first star gazers. The ruins of Chichen Itza now being par tially restored are shown above on current Mexican stamp, one of five values.

northeast corner. I can She paused to hold out her pencil as if measuring for perspective.
 Hold the chin up just a little more, Don Luis, please There! It adds dignity and strength of character, and high-lights your features better. Oh, I bet just ruined your meal. Were you so hungry? An artist Is selfish, I am afraid"
 He protested that 1t was pleas ure, a rare pleasure to pose for her, and she resumed her writing:
 "-can see Fl Paso plainly, even Border Patrol headquarters, from my window. I will hang two white handkerchiefs or two white towels there as long as I am safe. When you see them you needn't worry about me. If ever need help them I will hang three white towels or something. Or two-for- safety, three-for- -help, anyway, any time. I may stay a long time. Aren't we having fun tonight, golly golly? You both look so sweet posing with your new boy friendp
 The note covered a paper no larger than her hand, and she wrote 1t so that nobody could pos sibly have suspected what she was doing. Next, though, she faced the problem of delivering it. She realized that this cafe, The Place of the Sleeping Monk, might be a hangout of Barro's. That the walters or other diners might be his posing as much as he himself ap- peared to be. Any one of them might see her deliver the note to Hope or Sherry if she weren't meticulously careful.
 q could just mail 1t across to them," she thought. But no, they must be told soon, tonight, or they will surely do something foolish before the night is over."
 Talking and laughing with Don Luis, she spread the little note again and added one more line, partly to tease the American off, cers, and partly to add significant information:
 "Barro is making love to me-" In her lap, then, she folded it into a massive no larger, save for thickness, than a postage stamp. She could easily hold it unseen in the hand with her pencil. She sketched on for few minutes.
 I'm about done - were any of you in a hurry?" she smiled at them.
 T - uh - yes ma'am," said Sherry. Me and Mister Kildare here, we had an appointment in Paso. But take your time. I mean finish your drawing. We, uh, it's fun to pose and be painted, eh Kildare?"
 "Surew Hope lied bravely. He had sense of humor which cropped out momentarily now, too.
 T have never posed with Senor Barro before. Wasn't expecting anything like this!"
 "It was indeed most, CT - how you say in America?-umpremedi- tated?" Luis spoke suavely, ultra polite.
 "Oh, of course 1t was all im- promptu," Betty Mary gushed. But I prefer 1t that way. I can catch you with natural expressions and all. If you were hired models, or had been forwarned, you would be so still and all. Don't YOU see?"
 "Yes'm," said Hope, wishing he could spank her hard.
 She went around behind them for one last ostentatious setting of their heads at just the right angles. Then she took Sherry's hanging left hand and lifted 1t to his hip - incidentally stufflng the note in it and squeezing, as she talked. He caught her signal, held the note there.

CHAPTER XII

The situation - sucn as he knew of it = appealed at once to Luis Garro's keen sense of humor. Here were his two sworn enemies, Bor- der Patrolmen from the U. s. A.. coerced by a pretty girl into dining with him socially in a picturesque cafe. Moreover, she was actually making them pose with him cowboy hats and all!
 "Just sit between the two ranchers, Don Luis, there's dear! she was saying. 'Like three friends I can title this one Hands Across the Frontier or something like that; you symbolizing Mexico, and the ranchmen symbolizing the United States. Just put an arm around each Texans shoulders - like this There! There's a dear! You are three friends now. But goodness you American gentlemen look SC glum! It isn't that painful, is It. huh?" She looked coyly at them.
 Hope glared back and glanced at Sherry. She could tell that both of them were boiling from within, about to burst. Deep in her heart, she was enjoying this although she realized the more se- rious aspects of the situation full well.
 "They are suffering from thee how you say?-stage fright?" Dor Luis suggested, grinning. "They are not use to thee posing, eh! Weeth Luis Barro, anyway" He ended with a laugh, and Betty Mary joined him.
 Big bashful boys she agreed ''They probably realize that g Mexican gentleman caballero - dresses more charmingly than oul American styles permit, Don Luis But the contrast will heighten my picture"
 She was busily sketching all the while and shortly she had a fairly creditable likeness of all three, in their strangely intimate pose. From two different angles of awareness she and Barro were thoroughly en- toying the little drama. It served the boys right for trailing her over here, she was thinking. If they had let her alone she would have begun wangling valuable informa tion from Bagro himself, maybe. They needn' t think they had to hover over her all tho time, as if she were a helpless little chick! She kept her dimples flashing, her talk happy and gay.
 Meanwhile, too, she was writing a message.
 She had taken a small piece ot drawing paper, and after ostenta- tiously rubbing her pencil on 1t tc give sharp point, she held it on her drawing pad out of sight ol the three men. On it she penciled words when she appeared to bt sketching.
 Stop bounding me! (She wrote) I am in no danger. But if you must keep touch with me, watch my hote window. Fourth floor, Montezuma
