A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

ut is not your funeral" we
say to q person who is unduly
concerned about the misfortune
of another. The allusion, of
course. is obvious: but there is
more to the phrase than q mere
apt. though grisly, figure OF
speech.
The expression originated long
ago when the settlers Of America
lived so great distance from
one another that it was often
impossible to obtain a clergy
man to conduct a funeral service.
The funeral chat is. the sermon
and religious Service) was some
times held as long as q year or
two after the actual burial. As
the family's grief had been al
layed by time. such funerals were
notable for feasting, drinking
and merrymaking as friends and
kinsmen came from q distance
to pay their respects to the de-
parted.
It was inevitable that the early
American version Of the gate
crasher should be attracted in
goodly numbers to 50 delightful
and festive an occasion. And
these troublesome intruders, we
may be sure, were sternly re-
buked and sent about their bust
ness. This" they were told,
lis not your funeral!"
"Screwball," meaning q crazy,
eccentric person, originally was
a baseball term. It described a
type Of pitched ball that gyrated
crafty In the air. 1t was first
introduced by Carl Hubbell OF
the New York Giants. Hence
a fellow whose actions are eccen-
trio. fanatic, unpredictable.
ITO take the cake" originated
In the once popular cake walk OF
the Southern Negro. Couples
would compete for an deliberately
decorated cake by cake walk
ing" a complicated prancing
walk performed to music. How
ever. 1t is also said that the SEN
tries Of ancient Greece who were
able to go through the night
without falling asleep were al
lowed, by way Of reward. to take
the cake" Of roasted wheat and
honey.

Muzzy's game try on this hand

Mr.. Abel's two-spade bid was,
of course, not a raise, but SIM

In other words, playing with

Since Mr.. Masters had shown

further trump leads were out

finally led a low heart. Mr..
Masters won with the 10 and

Mr.. Dale won this one with

Austria Builds
Cottage-Type
Orphanages

VIENNA, Austria - (NC) --
Construction of "children's vii.
iage" near here brings to four the
number of cottage-type orphanag.
es built in Austria since 1850.
While the village is being com.
pleted, o small group of women,
who are widows or middle-aged
Spinsters, are receiving special
training as cottage supervisors,
known as mothers, at a center
in Innsbruck. BY the time a wom-
an is entrusted with one of the
cottages and a family" she will
have received several weeks of
training in housekeeping, psy-
chology, hygiene and nursing.
Candidates for the jobs must
be devout Catholics and must be
sufficiently well instructed to be
able to answer child's questions
on religious matters. And they
must love cnildren.
Founder of the "children's vii
lagos" Is Franz Gmeiner, a young
graduate of Innsbruck Universe
ty. He decided to devote his life
to giving orphans and other aban-
doned children surroundings that
resembled as closely as possible
the natural family. He wanted to
give the children the love and at
tention they could not get in a
large institution. Each cottage is
occupied by mother" and eight
to 10 children ranging in age
from one to IA years.
This cottage" plan, although
it has been widely adopted for or
phanages in the United States, is
relatively new in Europe. The
Village" founded by Gmeiner in
1850 near Inst in the Tyrol was
called the first in Europe. Similar
orphanages have been establish
ed in Switzerland and Germany.
