Noun. A theatrical variety
ShoU.
The word vaudeville, borrowed
from the French, had an original
meaning that will surprise even the
most seasoned vaudevillians.
In the 18th century, near the
French town of Wire, Monsieur
Olivier Basselin had a mill on a
gorge called Vaux-de-Vire. In his
spare time Basselin wrote many
ribald and satirical drinking songs
which became famous throughout
France as "Vaux-de-Vire."
In time this name was corrupted
to "vaudevilles," and the word meant
popular songs"
Two pronunciations are sane
toned by American dictionaries. In
the first choice vaudeville has but
two syllables, the first rhymes with

pronunciation commonly heard to-

East, of course, has far more
strength than is apparent from his
weak bidding. South can't tell
whether the opponents are trying
to sneak away with cheap rubber
or whether they are more than
ready for any bid by him.
When this hand was actually
played, South suffered an 80O-point
penalty, winning only four, trump
tricks. and dummy's diamond ace.
Yet if he had passed, he might have
discovered when the hand was all
over that he could have bid and
made two or three spades instead
of letting the opponents win the
rubber with measley two-heart
contract.
In other words, East's underbid-
ding put South to terrific guess.
That would not have been the case
if East had stretched" to two no.

by West. Such bid would have
warned South to stay out of the
auction. When you have part
score, border-line hands should be
underbid rather than overbid in
order to give the opponents every
chance to get into the bidding and
suffer a disastrous penalty.

An Ships And Men

With the advent of the high
y mechanical brand of warfare,
the navies of the world have be-
come highly complex in all of
their departments. One thing
ABOUT them has not changed.
Men - human beings - are
stll! required to run the organi-
cation and to fight.
The younger element heard a
great deal about the days when
the navies of the world were
made up of iron men and wood
en- ships. For those who believe
In and spread such a theory,
there is always the answer that
the operation of complex ma
chimes requires a much higher
degree of intelligence than that
of simple ones. It is obvious on
the face of things that the men,
tai caliber of men in the navies
today is much higher than it
has ever been in the past.
The only question, then, is
whether or not the fighting
qualities, the will to battle I'M
til all hope is gone and then
still fight on, remains with our
navy men today. There is every
indication that it does. Daily we
see new proof of bravery in
some individual who belongs to
the navy. All the wars of the
past have demonstrated this
quality in nearly every navy

harmful because the outside
stock may introduce diseases
that formerly had not been
prevalent in the area.
The principal disease of cot
tontail rabbits is tularemia,

The commission also has just

compensation trust fund de-
clined about $114,000 from the
total of the first year of benefit
paying experience in Montana.
"Those interested in the sue
cess of the unemployment COM
penation plan question any of
the plans to liberalize the law
in the higher benefit brackets"
Mr. Craighead said.
"The five and a quarter mil
lion dollars in the trust fund
are to be conserved for a time
when employment in Montana
may Dip" he added. During
times such as these the fund
should grow at least slightly,

When Sailors Were
Shanghai

When it is said that a man
was shanghai into doing a
thing against his will, an ex-
preston that dates back to the
days of square rugged windjam-
mers and wooden ships and iron
men is being used. The word
Shanghai" comes from the city
in China, where the practice of
drugging or intoxicating a man
and then shipping him as a
sailor on a short-handed crew
was a common thing. Years ago,
when a ships master was short
of men, he notified a "crimp'
or shipping agent, who, in re-
turn for a fee, would collect the
necessary number of men by
getting them drunk, drugging
them, or knocking them uncon-
scious, and then dragging them
on board. When the victim be-
came conscious he found him
self on the high seas where it
was useless to protest, despite
the fact that he had probably
been paid off from another ship
only a few days before and had
anticipated staying ashore.

RECOMMENDS O
CONTAINING VITAMIN A

Serve plenty of yellow vege-
tables, green leafy vegetables,
and vellow-fleshed fruits while
they are in season." advises
Bessie E. McClelland, extension
food nutrition specialist at
Montana State college. These
fruits and vegetables will sup
ply the body with vitamin A
that can be stored for later
USE"
Carrots, sweetpotatoes, and
the greens are especially valu-
able for their vitamin A. Other
seasonal vegetables that furnish
vitamin A are snap beans, okra,
green lettuce, yellow squash,
green peas, and tomatoes. Am
ong the fruits, muskmellon and
yellow peaches are the richest
now in season.
A small baby gets a good sup
ply of vitamin A from the milk
he drinks. But doctors also sug-
gest giving him additional am
cunts of the vitamin by gradu-
ally adding cod-liver oil, egg
yolk, and mashed green's to his
diet. AS the child grows he
needs plenty of milk, and also
fruits and vegetables that rich
in vitamin A. The need for Wit
amin A continues all through
life, but it is especially import
ant for the expectant mother
and the mother who is nursing
her baby.
One of the first signs that a
person is not getting enough
vitamin "A is the gradual devel-
opment of night blindness -
that is, he does not see in dim
light as well as normal persons.
When the diet is very low in
vitamin A, a more severe eye

results.
A deficiency of vitamin A
also has an effect on the cells

of the skin, which cover every
surface of the body - both in
side and outside. These cells are
the hody's first line of defense
against infections and when Wit
amin A is lacking, there is liable
to be serious trouble because
these cells do not function pro-
perly.

BEING
STUDIED BY

CottontaiI rabbits, among the
most popular small-game ami
mails in the 48 states, are get
ting expert attention from in
vestigators of the Iowa and Mis-
souri, Wildlife Cooperative Re
search units, according to the
Fish and Wildlife service. The
units are studying how to main
tain breeding stocks that will
yield an annual surplus for
hunters.
A four-year study by the Iowa
unit showed that intensively
titled land is a poor environ
ment for the cottontails, hav-
ing only 20 to 40 rabbits a Sec
ton (640 acres). The best lands
for these rabbits are lands that
are partially titled and partly
waste and we'll thicketed. These
latter areas had 800 to 1000 rab-
bits a section.
A nesting cottontail, Iowa in
vestigators found, takes no
chances of getting caught out
in the open. The average nest
in tall grass or weeds dense
enough to conceal an adult was
II feet from woody or other pro-
tective cover, but the average
nest IN short grass was only 80
feet from protective cover.
Each of II nests under obser-
walton by the Iowa unit had an
average of ga young a year. In
a two-year investigation, the
Missouri group found an aver
age of a. young in a litter, but
each female cottontail had an
average of 3.8 filters or about
1877 Young a year.
Nesting begins around March
l and continues until early in
August. The end of the cotton
tail breeding season is early in
September, when the last filters
are born. It is said that a
young rabbit reaches minimum
adult weight in AZ to 5 months.
In a recent study, the Michi-
gan department of conservation
found that reducing the cotton
tails range for farming and
other purposes also reduced the
rabbit population. While the rab-
bits have not increased, the
number of hunters has tripled
since 1915, the Michigan de-
partment said. In 1887, Michi-
gan hunters killed 100000 cot
tontails, and in 1898, they
bagged 2,500,000.
