7 axe Ny Word for 1t
By FRANK COLBY.
Words to Watch,

SESAME does suggest SEE
same" But the words resemblance
to the English same" is purely acci-
dental. Give it three syllables, and
accent the first, thus: SESS-uh-
NEE.
FORMIDABLE should not be ac-
cented on mid" The only accent
falls on the first syllable, thus:
FOR-mid-uh-b1.
HOMOGENIZE. Caution here.
This word derives from homoge-
neous. Neither Is accented on the
second syllable. Homogenize re-
ceives one accent only-on the first
syllable. Be sure to say: HOE-moe-
jen-ize.
Success!
My crusade against the mispro-
nunciation "pro-grum" has made
rapid strides since my last report,
in which I revealed that in six
years had persuaded a total of
three persons to pronounce program
to rhyme with go, SAM
I am happy to announce that an
illustrious convert has this week
swelled the total to four-none other
than Clifton Finnegan of Duffy's,
who writes: "Dere Mr.. Colby: DUH,
I never said 'pro-grum' in my whole
life. DUH; I never even hold of
de void"
Thus, my Bureau of Vital Statis-
tics discloses that there issreal cause
for optomism only [134,99 1896
Americans now use the mispro-
nunciation program" SO, with the
zeal of true crusader, and with a
heart beating high with hope, I go
forward uttering the ringing cry:
LD-u-h-I mean: Excelsior!

Not This

"togas." These were very much like
sheets wrapped around the body.
Boys in their teens, as we'll as their
elders, wore togas.
The kings. or pharoahs of Egypt
sometimes wore short skirts which
did not reach to the knees. Later
they adopted longer skirts or robes.
Often a king wore lions tail fas-
tened to his skirt at the back. To
the Egyptians, the lion was sign
of royal power.
Most of the mobiles and common
people in ancient Egypt wore skirts
of one kind or another. 1t seems.
however, that a kind of divided
skirt, on the order of trousers, was
worn there several thousand years
ago.
Ancient Persians wore loose-fit-
ting trousers which reached to the
ankles. These were covered, as a
rule, by skirts of about knee length.
German tribesmen of Western
Europe used to wrap themselves in
skins or cloth, and in this way made
trousers of a rude kind. Roman
soldiers at first laughed at this
costume, but as time went on, they
copied it to a. certain extent. So 1t
came about that some Romans and
some Greeks as well, adopted trou-
sers about 1,50O years ago.
