How 'Turncoat' Originated

Although the dictionary definition
sums up "turncoat' as lone who
forsakes his party or his principles; :
a renegade; apostate"; the story OF
its origin gives a better connotatlon
of the word. 1t was in use IN Eng
land as early as 1857 and was ap-
piled to a certain duke of SaXony
who occupied particularly dan.
gerous location between Spanish and
French possessions. He had re-
versible coat made which was blue
on one side (for SPAIN and white
on the other (France). Depending
upon which army appeared more
potentially dangerous at a partlcu-
lar time the coat was turned to suit
the threat.

summer. A recent survey conduct

New Credit Curbs

The Federal Reserve Board, in
Tightening its consumer credit regu-
lations, has taken action that is
plainly needed to help curb the in
flationary elements engendered by
the current rise in the purchasing
power of the American people and
the resulting increased competition
for scarce civilian goods. In addi-
ton to bringing retail charge ac-
counts under control for the first
time, the new rules require larger
down payments and restricted terms
for installment purchases. The
board has broadened the field of
merchandise covered by it's earlier
consumer credit regulations, and
with the exception of food, drugs
and cosmetics, the new rules govern
the installment purchase of nearly
every household item.
Though the volume of consumer
credit outstanding has been sub
stantially reduced in recent months,
it is essential. a$part of the program
to combat imitation, that it be further
contracted, and that installment
buying, during the war, be kept at
comparatively low level. BY curtail-
ing excessive buying, consumer credit
restrictions should also encourage
the payment Of debts, and make
greater part of the earnings OF the
American people available for in
vestment in War bonds.
National income in 1912, it Is esti-
mated, will exceed $4,000 900, 900,
gain Of nearly $4,000 900 900 over
last year. Federal income taxes will
tap only part of this increased pur-
chasing power. Credit curbs, al
though inadequate as substitute
for proper tax program, should help
somewhat in bridging the gap be-
tween civilian buying power and the
restricted supply of consumer goods.

A Docs Life

Sugar rationing has brought up
the question-what is a family?
Father, mother and children are OBJ
viously included. After that it
becomes more difficult Visiting
mothers-in-law and weekend guests
are out. Also, by recent decision OF
the New York sugar rationing board,
dogs do not qualify, even though they
may in every respect be better be-
haved and more generally desirable
than any other members of the
family.
This board cruelty denied a sugar
card to a pet poodle, in spite of the
fearful pleas of his mistress that he
drank tea at least three times a
day, and liked it sweet, At first the
board politely suggested that he use
lemon, but this did not satisfy the
lady. The next suggestion was that
he do without tea entirely, and this
was even more Indignantly refused.
The poodle, she insisted, was con-
structed somewhat along the lines
of the British Empire, and would
slowly and painfully perish without
tea The final suggestion was
adopted; it was that she share her
own sugar with the dog, move on,
