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

." PIisc "OTu VI tHc W0cks
Roll out the barrel and let's talk
about the world POLKA. The origin
is obscure. although most British
and American authorities believe
that the word can be traced to polka,
a Polish word meaning "a Polish
woman"
The surprising thing about the
word is that no dictionary, so far as
I know, sanctions the silent a." as
"POE-kuh." Even in polka dot"
the "a" should be sounded. The first
syllable, then, is pronounced exactly
like the word pole" Be sure to say
POLE-kuh.
It's Hard to Believe.
Springfield-The word AFTER
MATH intrigues me. Is there such
a thing as "math"?-D. Q. T.
A. Yes, "math" is an obsolete word
that expresses the idea OF mown
grass or hay. The word is akin to
both "mow" and meadow"
In aftermath the after" serves as
an adjective meaning later in time" "
This gives the whole word the sur
prising and picturesque meaning Of
