THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“BAFFLE”
Wfir’. in the lterature of
t ,It 1s necessary to use
a synonym for “defeat” or “foll,”
the word “baffie” 18 a recognized
squivalent—but the origin of the
verb presents an interesting
study In anclent customs and
medieval practices, for It was
formerly applied to a particular
specles of physical punishment.
Thus, in Beaumont and Fletch
er's “King and No King," a cow
ardly soldler recounts his expe
flences by saying “They hung
me up by the heels and beat me
with hazel sticks so that the
whole kingdom took notice of
me for a baffied felon.”
“Baffling” in the days of
chivalry was the name given to
the ceremony in which a per
jured or recreant knight, either
personally or in effigy, was hung
up by the heels, his escutcheon
blotted, his spear broken In two
and either his body or his like
aess beaten by the bystanders.
This pleasant little pastime is
described by Spenser, who writes
in the “Faerie Queen”:
“And after all, for greater in
famy
He t:y the hesls him hung upon a
ree,
And tafled so, that all which
that passed by
The picture of his punishment
might see.”
The accepted meaning of the
word teday ls therefore figura
tive, rather than literal—an echo
of the days when knighthood was
in flower,

Something to
Think About
DO YOUR BEST
Y OU cannot by any newly conceived
process hope to get the best and
apply it to the best use, unless you
glve the best.
The studious scholar stands at the
head of his or her class simply be
cause he or she gives the best—the
closest attention, the deepest thought
and the hardest work, Concentration
is wearisome, but- it produces ef
fective results and yields enduring re
wards which can be attalned in mo
other way.
In art, literature, business and in
the crafts, those who become con
spicuous for their skill, give their best
energy in perfecting themselves, and
a 8 a result they hold the foremost
place 'ln thelr respective callings,
command the most respectful consid
eration and win the highest recom
penise,
Life to those who give their best
wears a different aspect from that
which 18 so dimly seen by the heed
less, heading for mno particular port,
lacking the ability to judge the direc
tlon of the wind or energy to study
the charts.
Close application, holding constantly
to one specific course, working hour
after hour without every little while
pausing to scan the clock, cannot in
thelr state of indifference be done.
Such persons in their reflective
moments may be annoyed at the prog
ress of thelr rivals, but the annoyance
lacks strength to shake them from
their lethargy.
Any continuous exertion calling for
excellence, is too vielent, too wearing
to body dand mind to be tolerated.
So they remain passive, ahd when
the frequent ugly moods come upon
them they censure the fates for their
pitiful plights.
How then, can such humans who
habitually and generally from choice
travel among the irresolutes and the
grumblers, blame others for delin
quencies which are obvlously thelr

The unsaid things we sensed and knew

Dead as that first spring’s bloom?
We watched the gray doves come and

Stood at the window while the rain
Tapped with a ghost-touch soft and

Against the pane.
The hours were commonplace, we said,
And wished for scenes. some other

Sufferers—National Budget |
Is $5,543,077. |

Expended $9,738,448 in Services
to Mankind Last Year at
‘3|, Home and Abroad. |
Washington.—~With a budget of $5,
543,077.81 for carrying out the pro
gram of service during the current fis
cal year, beginning July 1, the Ameri
can Red Cross announces that this
amount was $4,195,370.41 less than
was expended during the fiscal year
ended last June 30. During that year
expenditures reached a total of $9,
738,448.22, of which amount §2,605,
696.00 was devoted to relief of refu
gees In Greece who had been driven
out of Asia Minor. In announcing the
budget for the year, the statement
trom National Headquarters empha
sized the fact that its extensive work
at home and abroad depends almost
wholly upon the nation-wide support
of the organization through enrcll
ment of membership in large numbers
" during the annual roll call, which will
be in progress from November 11 to
| November 29 under the auspices of
\ the 3,600 Chapters in the United
| States and throughout the world.
} These Chapters, it is pointed out, dur
ing the last fiscal year expended of
their own funds approximately $3,920,
000 in work for the men who wore the
United States uniform during the
World War, so that ‘the estimate of
pome $15,000,000 expended during
twelve months by the American Red
COross as a whole is considered con
| gervative.
Soldier Service Stands First |
From July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1923,
the American Red Cross spent nation
ally and through its Chapters close to |
£164,000,000 in behalf of American sol- |
diers who served in the war and their ‘
families. During last year the flgurel
alone mounted to more than $5,866,-
256, and for the current fiscal year
National Headquarters has set aside
unde¢ the heading, “Assistance to Dis
abled ex-Service Men and Women."'
$2,035,834.20. The Chapters will con- |
tinue to do their part, so that it may
be predicted with confidence that‘
again more than $5,500,000 will be dis
bursed in the large variety of services
to the disabled men and women and
their families—services for which the
Government cannot provide and which
reach the individual case with the
sympathy and understanding only ac
tual contact can insure. This work
of the American Red Cross approaches
the fifth anniversary of the Armistice,*
which ended the World War with only
slight decrease in calls for service in
the interest of the welfare and re
habilitation of those who suffered
physical disability in the service of
their country.
In the interest of the enlisted men
gerving in the Army and the Navy
the budget provides $309,020 for the
current year. This is obligatory un
der the Red Cross charters for the or
ganization must act in matters of vol- I
untary relief and as a medium of com
munication between the people andl
their Army and Navy.
Domestic Program Extensive
The domestic operations of the
American Red Cross comprise an ac
curate indicator of the continuing'
calls for expansion in all the estab-i
lished and authorized services. The
budget aggregates $4,636,449.70, as
against. expenditures during the last
year of $4,452,086.20. The abnormal
demands in the foreign field in the
last several years, however, have
largely subsided, and in. consequence
$906,628.11 has been set for the 1923-24
budget under foreign operations. On
this amount $394,303.91 is set aside for |
engagements which will close the I
work for the refugees in {Greece, for
whose amelioration $2,805,696.09 was |
expended up to Jumne 30, when the!
American Red Cross withdrew, and
the work was taken over under tlie!
control of the Greek government. Forl
liquidation and completion of general
relief in Europe the budget provides I
$lOO,OOO, and for. American Junior Red |
Cross projects, foreign and insular, |
and assistance to Chapters listed un- |
der foreign operations. l
’ Ready for Emergency Calls
The reidineess of the American Red
Cross to answer immediately with ef
fective service in cases of emergency
is an outstanding feature of its pro
gram that is universally recognized.
During last year $525,000 was spent
for relief in 110 disasters, which was
$207,600 in excess of budget provi
sions. This. year $400,000 has been
appropriated for this service. Since
1881 the Red Cross has administered
' more than $20,000,000 in relief work
following disasters. |
Other budget items in the schedule
for domestic operations include $l,-
982,624.20 for service and assistance
to the 8,600 Chapters and their
- Branches; $BO,OOO for assistance to
other organizations, particularly
stressing child health activities; $194,-
800 for Junior Red Cross projects and
- service; $10,824.20 for assistance to
- Nurses' Training Schools, and for oth
er activities $111,456.80. For supervi
. sion of service activities and general
_mapagement of the entire American

HUGE AIR FORCE
Delegates to Brussels Meet Seek
to Curb Planes.
ACT TO SAVE U. S. BILLIONS
Allled veterans of the World war
mdy bring about the holding of an in
ternational alr conference to limit mil
itary alrcraft armament and end the
present race for superiority in prog
ress among the nations of Europe.
. Alarmed at-‘the air preparations be
ing made by France, England, Italy
and Russia, the American Legion dele
gates to the Interallied Veterans’
federation convention in Brussels will
wage a determined fight to induce
delegates from all countries to influ
ence thelr governments to participate
in an International meeting to reduce ‘
air armaments. 3
The Legion charges that France, by
embarking upon the most stupendous
air program in the history of the
world, has started a mad conflict for
mastery of the alr from a military
standpolint which threatens to disturb
world peace. Leaders of the veterans'
organization have determined to make
all efforts to curb this demonstration
of militarism on the part of their for
mer allles,
To Ask Air Disarmament Meet.
To this end the Leglon will ask
President Coolidge to eall an air dis
armament conference in Washington,
similar to the conference on mnaval
limitation held in 1921,
There is no exaggeration in regard
to the serlousness of the situation,
according to the Legion leaders, who
point out that France has 140 squad
rons of military flying machines and
intends to have 220 squadrons by 1925,
Included in the armament, they state,
are planes which carry 75-millimeter
cannon, others that can transport six
machine guns and thelr crews, enor
mous bombers, special fighting ships
armored with battleship steel and ac
tual troopships of the air. England,
which has voted an extra $27,500,000
to enlarge its air armada, ils France's
nearest competitor, it is stated, while
Russia plans a force of 10,000 planes
and Italy has created a separate air |
service with plans for extensive ex
pansion, ‘
Acts to Save U. 8. Billlons, 1
' It is the Legion’s desire to hold the
conference before it becomes x‘ieces-“
say for the United States to appropri
ate billions of dollars for construc
tion of military aircraft to cope with 1
the situation created by the activitles
of foreign powers. ‘
Alvin Owsley, national commander
of the Leglon, just before sailing for
Europe to attend the veterans’ con
! ference, expressed the situation as
follows: % :
' “The conference on naval limitation
at Washington in 1921 went a long
way to persuade the world's mind to
ward peace upon the waters. Land
forces, too, are fast being reduced.
It ils enly in the air that danger
threatens. France has equipped her
self with an air fleet which is equal
in power to the combined air forces
of the rest of the world. The French
minister of war declared his country
lis tired of being a battlefield and is
preparing, should war come again, to
| carry the battle immediately into the
l enemy’s country.
Britain Becomes Alarmed.
l “At this the British across the
‘channel have taken alarm. A former
cabinet minister declares that France
| with her tremendous alr forces could
'destroy London tomorrow. So the
British vote additional millions of
pounds and set out to build as great
an air force as France has. Premies
lßaldwin says England must be pre
pared ‘against attack by the strong
est alr force within striking distance.’
It is France against whom England
thus prepares. The British admit it.
i “Along comes Italy, and after sign
| ing the Washington naval treaty and
| greatly diminishing her land force and
iannounces the establishment of a
!separate air force and votes large
icredlts to expand it as soon as pos
i sible into an effective war, foree.
| “By these means is the peace of
’mlnd of Europe disturbed and the
! peace of the world threatened. The
! allied partnership, which should be
| preserved intact to deal with the great
| problems of the hour, which is as nec
essary to civilization, now is strained
and endangered. The American Legion
: feels there is a way out. Let this
mad race for supremacy in the air be
ended as the mad race for supremacy
| on the seas was ended. It is fool- |
| hardy - to contend that it cannet be
|done." o l

In the wide arteslan marsh of

‘are so numerous that one can scarcely
