About 80 years ago, I saw play
called the r. U. R., which was short
for ''RoSsum's Universal Robots" :"
On the stage, I saw a number of
robots" pronounced ROW-butS) {.
These were men, but they acted as
If they were machines. They were
supposed to have been manufac-
tured to take the place of people.
That play was written by Czech
named Karl Capek. 1t became wide
ly known, and the public talked
about it a great deal. In due course
inventors procuced mechanical
robots in the shape of men. There
was much interest when these robots
proved that they could talk, turn
switches and whatnot. Some Of
them were able to obey spoken
commands of their owners. Such
orders as "Start!" or "Stop!" would
make them start or stop.
Those mechanical men amused
people, but inventors worked to
make robots with more serious
purpose. These were without human
form, but they performed useful

What's the Origin?

@. When we drink to q persons
health, why do we call it toast?
A. In medieval days, it was the
custom to place a piece of toast
in a glass or cup Of liquor. When
the liquor was drunk, the sop Of
toast was eaten as delicacy.
The late w. w. Skeat, etymologist
and professor of Anglo-Saxon at
the University of Cambridge, traces
the term, ito drink a toast" to a
story which appeared in the Lon
don Taller, No. "a, June 4, 1709:
Once during the reign of Charles
II (1660-1685), a young woman
celebrated for her beauty of form
and face was bathing in the Cross
Bath. One of her gallant suitors
dipped goblet into the water and
drank her health before the FASH
ionable assembly.
Another of her admirers remarked
wittily, II care not much for the
liquor; but fain would I enjoy the

According to an old legend, a
shepherd, guarding his flock near
the town of Roquefort, in the de-
partment of Aveyron, placed his
food supply of bread and cheese
In cave for safekeeping. His sheep
wandered far afleld, and it was not
until months later that he returned
to the cave, only to find that the
cheese apparently had spoiled, for
it was covered with peculiar blush
mold. Hunger forced him to sample
the stuff; he found it good, and thus
Roquefort cheese was discovered.
I cannot attest the truth of the
legend, but it is true that Roquefort
cheese, made from ewes milk, is
ripened near the town in caves in
which it is allowed to mold. The
mold is penicillium, from which
penicillin is extracted.

work. The making of robots still
goes on.
There are robots on many ocean
liners. They keep the vessel in a
given course, doing much work for
the pilot. Sometimes they are called
iron mikes"
Other robots are used on air
planes. Power-driven wheels called
horoscopes" spin at high speed,
and keep the plane in good balance.
Airplane robots also do other things;
they move controls so as to keep
the plane at a given height or make
1t go higher. Airplanes have been
flown with no one on board except
robots. The robots, in such cases,
have been commanded by radio
messages and have made safe land
ings.
Many other things of the present

of these Is the electric eye which
