because Walter Johnson's father
in-law was at one time mayor of
the town, and second, it was from
column written by the Sports
Editor of the paper, one Ty Cobb,
who calls his column COBB

Another bit of news-Dick Wa
ters, Jr., is running for States
Attorney in Nevada. When we
visited them in 1911 Dick had
just passed his bar exam. He en-
listed shortly after Pearl Harbor
and as a pilot saw action on many
fighting fronts. He was so sure
no would come home safely, that
his letters always frightened his
friends.
Do you remember that we wrote
a story several months ago about
the celebration of the coming of
electricity to Gaithersburg and
that a niece of Mayor r. H. Miles,
one Miss Anna May Mccullough,
turned the switch at the power
house? In a conversation with
Mrs. A. NJ. Gallaher who works
IN branch of the Treasury De.
partment in Washington, WI
learned that, she, is the. former
Miss Mccullough, and after living
in New Jersey more than twenty
years, she is again living in
Gaithersburg. We clipped the story
and sent it to her with the sug-
gestion that she read The Sen

Because Quiz" programs are
SC popular with everyone, we
thought you might like to hear
the legend of the origin of the
name as we learned it from the
Mayfiower's Log in a story by
Patrick d. Heating.
According to the story, the word
was the outcome of a wager.
Years ago, a group of prominent
people of the day gathered in an
Irish tea house and in the course
of conversation they argued about
the curiosity of the human race.
A gentleman of the theater who
believed that it took little to
arouse peoples curiosity, made a
bet that a word of no meaning
at all would attract great atten-
ton in Dublin within a days time.
He not only was willing to bet
that the word would be the chief
topic of the city, but that it
would puzzle everyone.
The wager was made and that
night the actor and a few cronies
covered as many walls and vacant
places as they could find with the
letters 80 U H." The next day
| Dublin was agog over the strange
| letters. Everyone tried to figure
out the meaning of this unique
word QUIZ" But the letters, 50
casually thrown together, re-
manned a puzzle to all. The actor
won his bet and the English Ian
guage had a new word, as "Quiz"
became a popular slang word for
anything that puzzled people.
Here is a joke from the LOG
that we enjoyed. It's about Rastus
who came to his colored pastor and
asked him to pray for his floating
kidney. That's a somewhat
strange request, Rastus," the pas
tor said. "Ah know it is" said
| Rastus, "but nah kidney is givin'
me trouble, and anyway, last week
70 prayed fo' de loose livers!'
We hope the parsons who are ad-
dicted to this column will enjoy
this joke. We know two who will.

Sentinel surely gets around"
