/ The Hero 1
of the War
since the War was over Nations
have been arguing over Who won
it.” And if the discussion is not
stopped we may have to have another
War just to decide who won the last
one. If we ever do go into another
War, have it understood there is to
be a Referee, and at the finish he is
to announce “Who Won and how
much.” In the last War we paid
4iT ransportation both ways and rental
~ on the grounds, and now all England
and France say is, “We didn’t get
there soon enough.” Germany dont
seem to e*cr have uttered any com
plaint on the lateness of our arrival, so
that just shows you, you cant please
everybody, even for Humanitys sake.
I must bring the word “Bull” Dur
ham in this even if I have to drag it
in by the horns. It just struck me,
4|nd after careful examination of
complaints and statistics, I find that
“Bull” Durham was the only thing
connected with America during the
Warthat Franceand England havent
beer able to criticise. It must be good.
$ S. There is going to be another piece
in this paper soon. Look for it.
SIXTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!
In 1860 a blend of tobacco
was born—“ Bull” Durham.
On quality alone it has
won recognition wherever
tobacco is known. # It still
offers the public this—more
flavor, more enjoyment and
a lot more money left at the
m. end of a week’s smoking.

Number of Common Words

The National Geographic So
ciety, suggesting that the Eng
lish language is full of geogra
phy, inquires whether you can
connect these words with cities
or places:
Lima beans, laconic, limerick,
china, coffee, canaries, bauxite,
savoy, gasconade, troy weight,
sisal, cologne, bologna sausage,
tangerine, derby, castlle soap
and astrakhan.
Geography classes are doing
this variation of “cross word
puzzles" by giving the approxi
mate latitude and longitude of
places to be named.

Washington.—Can you name a seven
letter fabric from Cambrai?
Or a five-letter surgical dressing that
took its name from a town in Pales
tine?
Or a popular seven-letter color
named for a famous battle in Italy?
The number of common words that
had their origin in place names is sur
prising, says a bulletin from the Wash
ington, D. C., headquarters of the Na
tional Geographic society.
"Calico traces Its ancestry to Call
cut, madras to Madras, and cashmere
to Kashmir.
“Textiles have the habit of appropri
ating town names for trade marks and
the very history of the art of making
cloth can be followed along its west
ward march by putting capitals to fa
miliar terms and slightly changing the
spelling. Silk takes its label from old
China —both terms having a common
origin in Seres, the early name for the
people of China. Damask rightly re
minds us of Damascus, although honor
for the cloth’s creation goes to China.
Europe called It damask because Da
mascus was the easternmost city which
they knew as its source. In justice
to Damascus it must be said her own
looms later made the weave as per
fectly as her steel-workers made da
mascene blades.
"Muslin still Is woven In the cool,
damp cellars of Mosul from long staple
silky cotton of southern Mesopotamia.
Fustian is a heritage of Rome in Egypt.
The ‘fossatum,’ or walls, protecting an
Imperial legion on the Nile became the
nucleus of Cairo and In the Fustat,
or Old Cairo quarter, Arabian weavers
created fustian. Names bear living
testimony to France’s contribution to
the textile art; cambric Is the child
of Cambrai, not long since a local point
of the West front. Tulle, In central
France made possible the gauzy cloud
of beauty for many a modern ‘crea
tion,’ while gauze Itself honors Gaza
In Palestine; Arras, also on the West
ern front, made wall hangings so well
that civilization forgets to capitalize
the ‘a’; and gingham Is said to relate
to Guingamp in Brittany although it
may go back to a Malay term, 'glng
gang,’ meaning striped.
Cows and Cloth of Jersey.
"Worsted barely manages to squeeze
on the maps of Norfolk county, Eng
land, today, so little connection has it
with the production of thousands of
yards of worsted. The Channel island
of Jersey Is well advertised by Its
cows, but who connects it with the jer
sey cloth that It originally made for
stockings? Axmlnster in Devon admits
it has made no rugs for more than one
hundred years.
“These towns and places proudly
boast their inventions but the way of
inventors is hard —they often fall to
get the credit. There Is a noble bird
In America which graces our feasts
annually, but because some one thought
it was a native of the Near East we
call it turkey. The guinea pig ought
to be a Guiana pig and about all pana
ma hats see of Panama is the canal.
And finally there Is brussels carpet—
It is almost painful to explode the myth,
but Brussels makes no brussels car
pets. They were made in Wilton, Eng
land, another rug ‘trade-mark’, and
took the title brussels carpet because
the designs imitated the famous Brus
sels tapestries.
“A man achieves fame’s pinnacle. It
has been said, when his name Is In
corporated into the language as a verb.
The verb ‘pasteurize’ Is a splendid
wreath on Pasteur’s grave. Few cities
or countries give us verbs, although
they have given hosts of nouns and
adjectives. Sixty miles south of Smyr
na, a river empties into the Mediter
ranean after twisting a 200 mile tor
tuous course. Modern maps call it the
Menderes, but once it was known as
the Meander, memorialized in the verb
•to meander.’ In 1500 when the
classics of Greece and Rome were be
ing saved to the world by the first mas
ter printers, Aldus Manutius of Ven
ice brought out an edition of Vergil,
dedicating it to the states of Italy.
For this volume he created a new font
of type, simulating script. When we
Italicize today we use that font. A
Chinese port serves to label a practice
In the verb ‘shanghai.’
“Make a better mousetrap, it is
said, and the world will wear a path
to your door. Names of towns and
countries in our language are trade
marks of famous ‘mouse-traps.’ Ven
ice early adopted the sentiment ‘when
better mousetraps are made, Venice
will make them,’ and this city has giv
en its name probably to more things
than any other There Is tribute to
its craftsmen 1b the terms Venetian
glass, Venetian sauce, Venetian red. Ve
netian ball, Venetian blind, Venetian
carpet. Venetian chalk, Venetian (a
textile), Venetian dentil, Venetian door,
Venetian embroidery, Venetian flat
point, Venetian mallow, Venetian pearl,
Venetian raised point. Venetian soap,
Venetian sumac, Venetian swell for or
gans, Venetian white, Venetian window,
and a Venetian, meaning a domino for
masquerades.
“Sardine” and “Sardonic."
“ ‘Sardine’ and ’sardonic’ have little
In common but they had the same
mother, Sardinia. The first arose from
the native practice of preparing small
fish and the last from the fact the
ancients got there an herb that puck
ered up the mouth. The Phoenicians
got salt at a little port in southern
Spain and so they called it ‘malac,’
meaning to salt; but when we use its
revised form, malaga, we mean a lus
cious grape. ‘Vandal’ and ‘frank’ are
the opinions of dying Rome concern
ing certain Germanic tribes.
“Long ago a bloody battle was
fought near Magenta, Italy. Quite un
conscious of the gory allusion, women
often wear magenta named for this
reddened field. In 1636 a fancy
dressed troop of Croats from Austria
were in France and the consummate
glory of their costume the busy busi
ness man perpetuates today as his
only vanity—the tie, or a cravat, from
‘Croat.’
“Patricians of Rome liked to sum
mer at a pleasant, sheltered sencoast
resort they called Bala. Rome's Miami
has given its name to thousands of in
dentations on hundreds of seacoasts
and in some tongues it still is ‘bala’.
Deserves Another Name.
"Champagne should be called perlg
non, and thereby hangs a tale. Cer
tainly the man who may have invented
the use of corks to stop bottles as well
as a wine deserves a place in the lan
guage. Dorn Perlgnon was a monk In
charge of the cellars of the Haut Vil
lers abbey In Champagne back In the
Eighteenth century. It had been the
custom to stop bottles with pads of
hemp or cloth steeped In oil, but the
monk conceived the use of corks in
stead. The firmly stoppered wine, he
discovered, cut up all sorts of antics,
that soon became famous. The Evil
One helped In its manufacture, so ru
mor spread, but finally Dorn Perlgnon’s
secret leaked out. The world goes
elsewhere than to Champagne for the
concoction today, though ft Is called
champagne, forgetting Perlgnon.
“The English language Is full of
geography. But how many of us con
nect these terms with cities or places:
lima beans, laconic, limerick, china,
coffee, canaries, bauxite, savoy, gas
conade, troy weight, sisal, cologne, bo
logna sausage, tangerine, derby, cas
tile soap and astrakhan?"
Plan Air Service North
From San Francisco
San Francisco. —California’s first at
tempt at a regular commercial avia
tion service is to be started shortly
with the establishment of a passenger
and freight route between San Fran
cisco, Sacramento and Chico, 200 miles
to the north. A fleet of five planes will
begin the service. The train time will
be cut by several hours.
The planes will carry five passengers
each and 200 pounds of baggage and
will maintain an average speed of 100
miles an hour.
The project is backed by Sacramento
valley bankers. Fare for each pas
senger between San Francisco and
Sacramento, a distance of 90 miles,
will be $lO one way and sl7 round
trip.
The company will issue an insurance
policy with each ticket, protecting both
the passenger and the company in case
of accident.
All the pilots engaged are former
American overseas flyers.
Stretches Baby’s Skull
to Let Brain Develop
New York.—Marlyn Allee Friedman,
whose abnormalities were such when
she was born five months ago that the
district attorney of Bronx county in
vestigated a report that the child had
been put out of the way, has been re
turned to her parents a normal child
In every way.
She is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Friedman of 2264 Grand
avenue, the Bronx. Dr. Oscar A. Spier
of 51 East Ninety-sixth street, had
the Infant transferred to Park Vie*
hospital. Her skull was cut open and
stretched, so as to allow more room
for brain development.
Before being sent to her home the
child was under observation at Bellevue
hospital, where the opinion of Doctor
Spier and the surgeons who operated
on her was confirmed. Doctor Spier
sent the baby home with a certificate
that she was “absolutely normal in
every respect.”
American Broadcasting
Stations Most Efficient
London.—American radio broadcast
ing stations as a general rule have a
greater radius of transmission than
British stations of the same power,
according to a sailorman.
During the last year he has made
six voyages to the Mediterranean from
the United States and has consistently
listened in on each voyage on his
home-made four-tube set. He was able
to pick up KDKA, Pittsburgh; WBZ.
Springfield, Mass., and WGY, New
York, the whole way across the Atlan
tic to, Gibraltar, and on one occasion
got KDKA on three tubes while in
i port on the east coast of Spain.
Other American stations were picked
| up on two tubes at distances xs great
as 2,500 miles with good results, but
whes using four tubes the correspond
»nt was seldom able to pick up British
stations at distances of 1,000 miles,

The first tin can was inspired by
Napoleon Bonaparte who offered a
prize of 12,000 francs to anyone who
would invent away of preserving
perishable vegetables for his mann
ers to cat on their long voyages. In
1809 the money was handed over to
Nicolas Appcrt, an uneducated picki
