What Is the Origin?

Marthas Vineyard: At recital,

What is the origin, please?-Nancy
F.
Answer: The tarantera is lively
Neapolitan folk dance. The name
has its origin in tarantola, the 1tal-
ian word for tarantula.
Now, the tarantula was named
where the fearful spiders are said
to be more than usually plentiful.
In days past, it was believed that
a person poisoned by the bite of
q tarantula could be cured by being
forced to dance to fast music until
he fell exhausted. Such dances,
naturally, were given the name
"tarantella." The word is pro-
nounced: TAR-un-TELL-uh the

The game of quoits is played on
village greens all over Wales and
Northern England. 1t also Is followed
in some other countries.
Quoits Is more of a game Of skill
than strength. Yet there must be
a good deal of strength in a player
if he follows the old rules. Those
rules place the pegs, or "hobs," from
54 to SO feet apart.
Often the hobs are placed much
less far apart. The distance of the
throw may be as little as 80 feet. II
a QUOT falls around the hob, it is
called a ringer" II 1t leans on the
hob, it is classed as q "leaner" or
'hobber."
The rules Of the game are about
the same as those Of horseshoe.
Rubber quoits are made and sold for
the use Of children.

discus 162 feet. In 1886 Kenneth

We sympathized and asked what

had not done any guessing at all.
As a matter of fact, one of the

sized that "a certain youth assign
ment quota was established for each
State in order to maintain current
expenditure of such appropriated
funds" LAS early as 1899" the report
continued, difficulties were being
encountered in maintaining the
quota, due to the fact that youths
between 18 and 25, entitled to aid
from the administration, were being
absorbed by private industry and
the Army. To maintain the quotas,
thereby using the moneys already
appropriated by Congress and thus
apparently to justify requests for
subsequent appropriations, the N. Y.
A. reduced the age limitation from
18 to II years, and later to l6
years for youths who could receive
aid, and also requested the Army
recruiting office to refrain from

Roosevelt Comment
On Soviet Churches
Seen Bid for Support
Says Russiu Grants
Same Freedom as
Thot Enjoyed Here

Significance of a statement by
President Roosevelt that the Soviet
Russian constitution provides for
freedom of religion and freedom of
propaganda against religion essen
TALLY the same as enjoyed here
stirred considerable speculation in
the Capital today.
The Presidents statement came In
response to request for comment
at his press conference late yes
terday on a letter to Secretary of
State Hull from Polish Ambassador
Jan Ciechanowski, disclosing that
Polish forces in Russia had been
given full freedom of worship for
both Christians and Jews.
Remarks of Mr.. Roosevelt and the
Ambassador were generally consid-
cred designed to minimize the anti
religious stigma attached to the
Soviet and win the support of re-
ligiouS groups for the administra-
tion program of all possible material
aid for the Russian armies fighting
Germany, in the face of a threatened
move In Congress to exclude Russia
from lease lend aid.
Supplies Sold to Russia.
Mr.. Roosevelt said yesterday that
some of the supplies previously al
located to Great Britain under the
lease-lend program had been sold
instead to the Soviet, but told ques-
TONERS that he did not know and
no one knew at present whether
lease-lend benefits would be extend
ed to the Soviet.
Remarking that the Polish Am
bassador's letter speaks for itself
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested that his
hearers read article 124 of the 1896
Soviet constitution. He recalled
that 1t guaranteed freedom of con-
science, freedom of religion and
freedom for propaganda against
rellglon. This Is essentially the
same as in this country, although
we do not express it the same way.
he added.
He pointed out that a person
could go out on PENNSYLVANIA avenue
here and preach Christianity one
day. and preach against religion an
other day, without anything hap
pening to him.
The Presidents remarks recalled
statement of policy issued by Un-
dersecretary of State Summer WelIes
on June %. soon after the Nazi in
vasion of Russia. In that statement
Mr.. WelleS said that freedom of
worship has been denied to their
peoples by both the Nazi and Soviet
governments" emphasizing that this
and other doctrines of Communistic
dictatorship are as ''intolerable" to
Americans as are those of Nazi-ism
He went on to say, however, that
the immediate. issue" facing this
country is whether Hitler's drive for
world conquest is to be halted and
defeated" and that this Government
considered any defense against Hit
lerism from whatever source" in
the benefit "of our own defense and
security" -.
In his letter to Mr.. Hull, made
public at the State Department. Mr..
Ciechanowski said Poland will be
able to put an army of more than
100 900 men into action against
Germany on the Russian front
very shortly" If the United States
and Great Britain can supply the
necessary equipment.
