SECOND PLANE CRASH IN YEAR

LAST WEEKS plane tragedy in which a GAG crash
landed 2O miles off the Florida coast is the second in Just
about a year. On this flight 81 Puerto Ricans were on their
way to Michigan for work on farms, and were to have stopped
OFT at Wilmington, NC. Last June plane on a non-scheduled
flight plunged in San Juan harbor, with the loss Of many
lives. In last weeks crash, 81 lives were lost, and the re-
ports tell Of passengers in life belts being hauled under by
man-eating sharks. In one instance, a Navy enlisted man
jumped over to rescue one of the passengers, but a shark had
bitten off the passengers arm and he died shortly after being
hauled aboard a cruiser.

mdn-edImS sharks. In one instance, a Navy enlisted man
jumped over to rescue one of the passengers, but a shark had
bitten off the passengers arm and he died shortly after being
hauled aboard a cruiser.
IN TRAGEDY of last year investigations were con-
Quoted with the view to determining the cause, and it was
believed that safety restrictions had been imposed. However,
the airline which operated the flight which resulted in ira
gedy last week is supposed to have been cited for safety vio-
lationS. 1t that is the case, then there is a serious lack of pro
per restrictions, and there is no excuse whatever where human
life is involved.
A NUMBER OF local citizens, anxious to secure air
passage to the mainland, took what they considered the OBJ
portunity, mostly to save time, but glad to say, passengers are
now convinced that it is well worth the time to wait for reg
ullarly scheduled flights by permanent airlnes. The convert
ing Of cargo planes into passenger planes is unfortunate to
say the least In last weeks tragedy, "a passengers comprised
theload, and while officials of the line declared that this was
well below the maximum load, yet the suddenness and swift
ness with which the ship plunge and sank leaves doubt as
to faithful observance of safety measures. In this day and time
few two-engined jobs carry as high as "a passengers.
TO THE MANY who prefer the more comfortable, APP
parently safer and more leisunely trip by ship, there is hope
that regular runs, on schedules, will be put again into opera
ton. Absent that, then only regularly scheduled flights should
be given hose who travel. This second tragedy in a year.
should convince officials that even sterner measures might be
necessary to save human lives from loss which seems SO I'M
necessary.

Uncle Ruy's Corner

Some islands have been given the
wrong name. The best known
example of this is Greenland. Mos
of Greenland is covered by snow
and ice, forming a vast glacier
Only along the southern coasts car
we see, during certain months
green grass and shrubs.
Other islands are well named
and Formosa is such an island. Its
full name, as given by Portugese
visitors four and a half centuries
ago, was 'Ihla Formosa," meaning
Island of Beauty" or Beautiful
Island" The name, as shortened
today, is simply "Formosa," mean
ing Beautiful"
Formosa really is beautiful. AL
along its eastern side are grand
cliffs. These cliffs rise almost
straight upward, and in some places
they are more than mile high
Where else in the world can such
straight, high cliffs be seen rising
from the sea?
Formosa is cut off from China
by a stretch of water. The distance
from the Chinese coast is about 125
miles on the average. but one sec
ton is little less than 100 miles
from the mainland.
If the Chinese were like most
other people with land bordering
the sea, they would have been first
to settle FormoSa. CAREFUL study

Thus it was that the laws and
legal instruments were largely un-
ineligible to the conquered English.
So the practice gradually prevailed
of joining two words of like mean
ing, the one of native (Anglo-
Saxon) origin, the other of French
origin, as:
Act (French) and deed (Anglo-
Saxon); law (Anglo-Saxon) and
order (French); shape (Anglo-Sax-
on and form French); kind (An-
glo-Saxon) or character F'rench) !;
matter (Frefch) or thing (Anglo-
Saxon); devise FrenchD and be-
queath (Anglo-Saxon); will (An-
glo-Saxon and testament French).

WHAT'S THE ORIGIN?

@. am an attorney and should
know the answer to this question,
but I don't: What is the reason for
so many redundant expressions in
English, as, "act and deed; law and
order; any shape or form; kind or
character" ETC.?
A. Legal language abounds in such
pleonastic terms. These phrases
have a most interesting origin:
After the Norman Conquest (A.D
1866, William the Conqueror estab-
lished Norman French as the Off
cial language. The native tongue
Anglo-Saxon, was regarded as bar
baric and obscene.
The language of the court, of the
church, of the law, and of society
was French, and all law DEGREES
were framed in that language. In
the schoos the Norman youths stud
led French.
The mass of the natives, however
clung to their Anglo-Saxon speech;
they refused, or were unable, t6

has shown, however, that they ar
rived very late. Malays got there
many centuries ahead of them.
The Chinese use their junks and
other small vessels to sail through
coastal waters, but they stay away
from the broad ocean as much as
possible. They can be called land
lovers.
To go to FormoSa from China
was only a question of crossing the
Formosa Strait. This was done at
last, but control of the island was
obtained by Holland before it was
reached by any large number of
Chinese.
Dutch sailors and soldiers reached
Formosa 1926 years ago, and built
fort there. The Dutch flag was
raised, and it looked as though
Holland had another fine colony
in the Orient.
Chinese settlers came in soon
afterward. They wanted to escape
from a new ruler of China. These
settlers were followed by an army
led by a Chinese general, Koxinga.
He had lost a war on the mainland,
and now wanted a new home for
himself and his family. The Dutch
were defeated in battle, and their
colony was lost.
