Readers Want To Know.

@. Will you please tell me how
the name Penelope is pronounced
and what it means, if anything?
Mrs. H. A.
A. The name Penelope is of
Greek origin, and it means "weav-
er."
In Homer's Odyssey" Penelope
is the lovely and faithful wife of
Odysseus, King of Ithaca, and son
of Laertes. Odysseus was one of
the Greek chieftains in the Trojan
war. After the fall of Troy he
sought to return home, but his ship
was driven of course by unfavor-
able winds. For eight years numer-
GUS adventures prevented his re-
turn.
Meanwhile, many chieftains laid
siege to Penelope'S heart. She put
them off by asking them to wait
until she had woven a winding
sheet for her father-in-law, the
aged Laertes. But every night she
unraveled what she had woven by
day.
At last, when Odysseus arrived
home to find his wife beset by the
Suitors, he killed them all with the
aid of a few friends.
Correct pronunciation: pub
NELL-uh-pee.

space within a house." is often
heard as PAT-ee-oh. Patio is Span

ish. In that language it has two
syllables only, thus: PAH-tyoh. In
America, patios are almost always
found in houses of Spanish OF
Spanish-infuenced architecture.
In best American usage the word
is pronounced: AH-tee-oh, or
PAT-ee-oh.
@. Is there a story behind the
word umbrella? 1t doesn't look Eng
ish to me.
A. Indeed there is a story. Um-
brella is a diminutive of the Italian
ombra, shade; hence, "a little
shade"
The word parasol came into Eng
lish from the French, from the
Italian, from the Latin parare, ito

Thus we see that we have no
word in English that names a de-
vice to be carried to protect one
from the rain. There is such a
word in French: parapluie (parry
rain. 1t is strange that when we
borrowed umbrella and parasol we
did not also adopt parapluie.
However, we did adopt the
French parachute, which means lit
orally parry fall" Chute is the
French word for fall, which explains
its use in our name for the shoot

We also see that the term para
troops actually means parry

"to ward off; to turn aside"

Uncle Rays Corner

Indians of the Western plains had
several kinds of homes, including
earth lodges, but their most popu-
lar was the tepee, also called
"teepee." The name came from
''tipi," Dakota Indian name mean
ing home" or dwelling"
There was a special reason for
that kind of home to be popular
on the plains. The natives wan
dered about a great deal, following
herds of buffaloes, or bison, and it
was well for them to take their
shelters along.
A tepee was a tent with a hole
at the top to let smoke get out.
These Indians often made fires in
side the tents.
The tepees differed somewhat in
different tribes, but we may make
these general remarks:
They were made by fastening the
hides Of several buffaloes together,
over framework. AS many as a
dozen hides might be used for a
single tepee. Straight young trees
(often cedars) were cut for the
! )OleS,
Evening star., 1950-11-01

The poles might be as much as
16 feet long. They were far apart
at the base, but leaned together at
the top. A few feet below the top
ends, they were tied together.
From IL to "a poles usually were
employed in making a tepee. They
formed the framework for circu-
lar tent which was about IL feet
high and 10 or IL feet wide at
the bottom.
The tepee was without windows,
but little light came from the
hole at the top. There was an
opening which served as a doorway
and this could be covered with
an extra hide.
Some Indians Of the plains
treated the hides to make them
white or almost white. Sometimes
the hides were adorned with paint
ings or designs. There might be a
picture of deer on one, an eagle
on another, and buffalo on q
third. This helped warriors to To-
cate their own homes when they
came in from hunting excursions.

Muddy Water Aids
In Catching Fish

Just because your favorite fish
ing hole gets little muddy from
sudden showers, don't lay your
tackle aside. You can catch fish
in muddy water but there's a tri~k k
to it.
Pick out the shinieSt and most
colorful artificial bait. A fish
can't see in muddy water any
better than human so it takes
something bright to attract his
attention.
When the water is rising, it
brings in fresh food and fish so
'cn the prowl for this new supply
wherever the water slows up like
on the rifles, around the base of a
tree or rock or wherever the water
forms a swirl. These sort of plac-
es are the natural food pantries
for the fish. Slip your baited
hook in among the natural foods
and you'll catch fish.
once you locate a good log OF
rock, remember it and fish it at
different times throughout the
day until you find just when the
fish come to dinner.
Too many fishermen select the
big open nice-looking water for
their fishing and wonder why they
don't catch fish. If fishermen will
just remember that fish, like
people, eat in the dining room or
kitchen and not in the living room
they'll catch more fish.
