The Indian inhabitants, who
had never seen man other
than those of their own race,
apparently thought him one of
their gods reproduced in ebony
and proceeded to treat him ac-
cordingly. At each village he
was given a royal welcome each
chieftain presented him with
one or two squaws until he had
a dozen or more dancing attend
ance on him. He also received
an unestimated number of other
gifts from the Indians.
Such homage must have gone
to his head and undoubtedly he
came to believe himself a god
or ruler for he forgot his in

Here the account of EStevan'S
exploits ends and it is matter
of conjecture as to what happen
ed to him. While the popular
belief is that these Indians, un-
like the tribes he had visited
previously, were suspicious and
unfriendly..... That they farbade
him to enter the city and when
he sought to force his way in
they fell upon him and killed
him.
But Estevan, enjoying his
freedom and fearing to return
to Mexico lest he be again re-
turned to slavery, may have re-
NAMED with some Indian tribe.
It is possible that he may have
been accepted as god and may
have reigned over them until
his death as many white. men

have done among the natives
of the Islands since then.
Thus it is the belief of hiStO-
rianS that Estevan, the former
slave was the first man other
than the native Indians to set
foot on the soil that is now
Ar. zona. And, while De Mia oc-
cupies a prominent place in his
tory and is credited with being
the first to visit this strange
land, Estevan, who was only a
slave, is given only slight men

Estevan diSobeyed these In

is that some insurance experts
feel that foreigners may misin-
terpret the prefix ''in"-which
often means not" They reason
that a person unfamiliar with
our mother tongue might think
that "infiammable" meant mon
combustible." with results that
could be downright disastrous.
Question: / should appreciate
your comment on a mispronun-
citation which seems to be ex-
tremely prevalent in this area.
The word "jodhpurs" is always
pronounced "judfurs" instead of
"jodpurS. Also, l note the in
sertion Of the IN" in words such
as trash. treads, etc. Trash be-
comes thrash" and tire treads
become threads" Does this &C.
cur in other parts Of the coun-
try? I have never heard it else
where. Mrs. j. c. Hafer. Mil
waukee, Wis.
Answer: The "jodfurs" pro-
nunciation results from an un-
conscious tranSposition of the
n and the "p' in the middle
OF the word. The name comes
from the name OF native state
in Northwestern India. But the
diagraph "ph" with the sound of
#" is so common in our Ian
guage that the inadvertent
switching Of "hp" to "ph" is not
to be wondered at. The only
correct pronunciation for jodh-
purs are "JOD-perz" or "JOHD-
perZ"-and the latter. though
closer to the pronunciation of
the Indian state name. is rarely
heard.
The intrusive n which you
mention hearing in words like
trash and tread is new to me. l
have not heard it, nor do I find
references 10 1t in the published

tons. Perhaps it reflects Ger
