Use of Word ‘Moron’
“The American Language” says;
“Moron was proposed by Dr. Henry
H. Goddard in 1910 to designate a
feeble-minded person of a mental
age of from 8 to 12 years. It was
formally adopted by the American
association for the Study of the
Feeble-Minded in May of that year
and immediately came into wide
use.”
Early Indian Battlefield
Opened for Sight-Seer*
The scene of one of the bloodiest
battle's in the history of New Eng
land's early Indian wars, the Great
Swamp fight of 1675, in Rhode Is
land, has been opened for sightseers
by CCC workers. The Great Swamp
fight was unusual because the Colo
nists attacked the Indians instead
of vice versa, says the National
Geographic society. Several hun
dred casualties made this one of
the bloodiest battles of Colonial New
England, as a thousand men from
four colonies stalked the Indians to
their winter camp, attacked the
hideaway in the swamp, set fire to
600 wigwams and scattered the In
dians into the wilderness.
Some 60 deaths and 150 wounded
among the attackers meant serious
losses to the fighting forces of the
sparsely inhabited colonies. The
losses of the Indians included some
300 wounded or old men and women
and children whom they could not
rescue from the fire.
This battle marked December 19,
1675, as the date of a major en
gagement in King Philip’s war, a
widespread uprising, in which the
painted braves with bow and arrow
and club learned the uselessness of
resisting white men and their guns.
The battle was part of the Colonists’
campaign started against a hitherto
neutral tribe, the Narragansetts, be
cause they would not give up refu
gee women and children of the Wam
panoag tribe, whose braves were on
the warpath farther north.
The scene of the Great Swamp
fight is now a peaceful “island” of
solid ground, grass covered in sea
son, within the treacherous swamp
near Kingston, on the mainland not
15 miles from Newport. No rem
nant of the Narragansetts’ large
winter camp survives. A granite
shaft commemorates the white
man’s victory, and flanking mark
-1 ers name the colonies which united
for the attack—Plymouth, Massa
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island.
World’s Nitrate Supply
Is Obtained From Chile
Chile has a population of 4,600,000,
or approximately that of Massachu
setts, on an area more than 34 times
that of Massachusetts. It supplies
all the world’s natural nitrate, as
well as 90 per cent of the iodine,
almost half the borax and 18 per
cent of the world’s copper.
It borders the southern Pacific
coast of South America running al
most north and south for 2,627 miles,
and varies in width from 105 to 223
miles. Inland it is bounded by the
lofty crest of the Andes, the back
ground of all Chilean panoramas and
possessed of vast waterpower.
If Chile occupied the same latitude
in the northern hemisphere it would
extend from the latitude of Jamaica
through Cuba, Florida, the rest of
the United States and Canada to
the southern shores of Hudson bay,
says the National Geographic soci
ety. With the varied climate thus
afforded, Chile has widely diversi
fied scenery and economic interests.
Frequent dust storms, mirages
and often frost at night feature the
hot, arid section of northern Chile,
which for many years has furnished
most of the country’s revenue.
The nitrate fields stretch for sev
eral hundreds of miles along the
western rim of the upland plains,
the deposits being not more than
20 to 30 feet below the surface.
Chile's mineral exports account fo;
more than 75 per cent of the total,
the United States taking one-fourth,
including practically all the iron
ore.
Napoleon’s Sword
Bearing the inscription, “N. Bona
parte, First Consul of the French
Republic,” a sword has been added
to an exhibition in Moscow dedicat
ed to the victory of the Russian peo
ple over Napoleon in 1812. When
Napoleon was defeated and sent to
Elba by the coalition Alexander I,
of Russia, ordered Count Shuvalov
to accompany him. To assist Napo
leon to escape recognition by the
crowds, Shuvalov offered him his
greatcoat. In gratitude, the de
throned emperor gave his sword to
Shuvalov, who took it to Russia. In
the revolution of 1917 the Red Guard
raided a family estate and a com
mander appropriated a sword. He
fought with it, often marveling at |
its strength and sharpness. After
the war it was identified as Napo
leon’s sword.
Artist’s Gratitude
Mrs. Mary Brittain, California ar
tist, had a different way of express
ing gratitude to the state for relief
assistance. Mrs. Brittain donated a
large oil painting to the state to be
hung in the San Quentin prison
chapel. It was a reproduction of
“The Nativity,” “The state could
accept this gift as a token of appre
ciation from me of some relief 1
received a few years ago when there
were 10 children in my home, and
I had no means of support,” her let
ter said in part.
Protective Foods
A research made by the National
Dairy council shows that three bil
lion dollars are lost in money and
time annually in the United States,
because of a million and a half daily
colds and related diseases during the
winter. Rather a staggering sum!]
Good nutrition of the body as a j
whole, as well as excellent general i
physical condition, combat infection, |
