Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week

1t is not 50 much the pronuncia-
tion OF the word CORsAGE, that is
surprising, although there is some
disagreement among the dictionaries
as to the proper way to say the
word. Websteris lists, first choice,
kawr-SAHZH; second choice,
KAWR-sidge. Funk and Wagnalls'
lists KAWR-sidge, Macmillan's, also
Winston's, first choice, KAWR-sage;
second choice, kore-SAZH.
The word is from the French, and
this is the big surprise: In that
language the word has no earthly
connection with flowers or bouquets.
The Larousse French dictionary de-
fines corsage as The bust of the
human body: that part of a woman's
garment which covers the bust
(partie du vehement de femme, qui
recouvre lie buste)."
Imagine the shocked astonishment
of a French fleuriste upon being
asked to deliver "corsage" to ones
girl friend in Paris. The correct
order would be for q bouquet de
corsage." And, strictly speaking, in
English one should refer to a cor
sage bouquet" not merely to a cor
sage, since the word comes from the
Latin corps, meaning body"

way and continued to stare down
the long. empty hall OF course, he
was talking about Johnny and Polly
Chuck, who had gone to sleep for
the winter. That sleeping business
always puzzled Peter. 1t seems to
him to be terrible waste of time.
But Chatterer had too much on his
mind to waste time wondering how
other people could sleep all winter.
He couldn't himself, and now that
he had been driven away from his
own home in the Green Forest by
fear of Shadow the Weasel he
couldn't waste minute. He must
find q new home and then spend
every minute of daytime laying up
a new store Of food for the days
when everything would be covered
with snow. He shivered at the
thought, for harvest days were over
and he didn't just see where that
food was to be found.
Up and down the length Of the
stone wall he scampered looking
for place to make home, but
nothing suited him. You know, he
likes best to make his home in .

munk, who lives in the ground.
Poor Chatterer! He just couldn't

to his toes. Just then his eyes saw
something that made his heart come
up again with a great bound right
where it ought to be. Just then
Peter Rabbit came hopping along.
Have you found a new home

YES" replied Chatterer, II think
I have"
That's good" replied Peter. IT
was sure you would find one over
here. Where is it?"
Chatterer opened his mouth to
tell Peter, and then closed it with
snap. He remembered just in time
how hard it is for Peter to keep a
secret. If he should tell Peter it
would be just like Peter to tell some
one else without meaning to, and
then it might get back to Shadow
the Weasel.
"I'm not going to tell you now,
Peter Rabbit" said he. "You see
I don't want anybody to know where
1t is until I am sure that it will do.
But I'll tell you this much" he
added, as he saw how disappointed
Peter looked. I'm going to live
right here"
Peter frightened up right away.
You see, he thought that. Of course,
Chatterer meant that he had found

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

When your plans are upset and all scat
tered about
Just make up your mind that you'll find
way out.
Peter Rabbit went straight over
to the old stone wall on the edge of
the Old Orchard lipperty, lipperty,
lip, so fast that it didn't take him
long to get there. But Chatterer
the Red Squirrel never feels really
safe on the ground unless there is
something to climb close at hand,
so he went long way round by way
of the rail fences. He always did
like to run along rail fence, and
he wouldn't have minded it bit
this morning If he hadn't been in
such hurry. 1t seemed to him
that he never would get there. But,
of course, he did. You know you
always get somewhere If you keep
on going long enough.
When he did get there he found
Peter Rabbit sitting on Johnny
Chuck's doorstep staring down
Johnny Chuck's long hall. They're
asleep" said he, as Chatterer came
up all out of breath. 1--WE thumped
and thumped and thumped. but 1t
isn't the least bit Of use. They are
asleep and they'll stay asleep until
Mistress Spring arrives. / can't

bow room" and sunshine. Further,
each year millions of new seed chill
dren are sent out to find their
fortunes. Uncle Sam purchased
l01 900 acres for national forest ad-
ditions in March, 1912. This pur-
chase involved 463 different tracts
in Is States at total cost of $491,-

for2sted and rehabilitation work
done toward restoring timber grow
ing. watershed protection values and
wildlife.
One large forest fire will destroy
as many trees as are used for one
Christmas cutting-10,00 100000 to 49,
100000 trees-some far more valu-
able than those we use. It was
found that one-fourth of the forest
fires had been caused by lighted
cigarettes tossed from planes. This,
OF course, has been corrected.
The decorating of evergreens at
Christmas belongs to remote past.
There are many legends claiming the
reason for this happy practice, each
having something in its favor. Some
claim the evergreen was actually the
tree of knowledge-look how very
cleverly 10 exchanges its old gar
ments for new ones, and few are
aware Of the fact! A tinsel angel
is hung in the topmost branches to
signify that the tree has been re-
deemed-it is supposed to have been
used for the cross. Others say the
practice started with the Scandi-
navians, who hung the branches with
food for the little animals and birds
and that, in the morning, the Christ
Child came with gifts for the young
er members Of the household. This
seems to be one of the sweetest
reasons for our children to have
their own lovely tree.

What Others Say:
SOLDIERS IN OVERALLS


The Millions of and women workers in our de-
Tense factories and other vital points behind the fighting
lines are soldiers in overals They are rendering an in
dpensabe service and deserve the highest commentator
Like our fighters at the battle fronts these industrial
workers are striking mighty blows for freedom and We
tory They working sweating and IN many cases are
risking and losing their lives their Jobs But unlike
soldiers in uniforms, soldiers in overals are at
liberty to work or working at will When labor con-
dtonS are not to their liking they have the privilege OF
going strikes and this privilege it too often used TO
the detriment of our effort.
Our soldiers at the front have many hardshps to face
but would be considered disoya their part If they
should decide throw down their and refuse to fight
because of some real or imaginary grievance.
Our soldiers in uniforms at the fighting fronts, and
those in overas in defense plants on the home front are
equally important. When think how seriously defense
production is hamperd however by such labor strikes as
occurred some weeks ago at the local Hudson Naval ar
sena and last week at the Timken Axle plant, when
white workers went strike in protest against the en-
poyment and promotion of Negro defense workers one
thing becomes evident is hispreudce and sefsnness
must give way to patriotism and unity of action
Our forces at the front and at home must cooperate,
for all Of soldiers fighting for common victory
against common foe None of us have moral right to
throw down tools in the heat of battle.

BY Emory o. Jackson

From a thorough reading Of
both sides Of the controversy in
cited by a statement made by
Mark Etheridge at the opening Of
the FEPC hearings in Birmingham
| see a point on which Mr.. Ether
idge should clear himself for the
good Of better race relations.
Does he interpret the campaign
to remove economic restrictions to
mean crusade against social
segregation? That's the use
that is being made Of his state
ment. Hence he has loosed all
southern fury against the true
meaning Of the executive order
Mr.. Etheridge owes us a second

being made Of his statement or
confirming the use that is being
made of it.

The general run of bus drivers who operate buses in
the south where the bulk of Negroes live would prefer
HAVING appendicitis removed without aneshesa to treat

from being better
In purchasing reservation, the Negro is the last person
to be given consideration, if given at all and is never

most dlapidated and cut NODDED most railroads,
and when luck has it that they given accommodation III
first class air conditioning ears, only few seats are pro-

and other agents Why can't they provide space in cars
with their people? Trains operating thru southern

In the rotor Buses the Negro given the worst part

How long will these conditions last? Has America
