Many English Words Are Arabic in Origin The Arabs have given the Englishsneaking people more words to express their thoughts than any other of the Semitic, Asiatic or African groups. “When in summer you wear your ■mohair’ or 'cotton’ suit, avoid ‘alcobol.’ enjoy “sherbet’ with ‘candy’ and •coffee’ with ‘sugar,’ or lie on a ‘sofa’ or‘mattress’ reading a ‘magazine,’you are drawing on that vocabulary,” Prof. 'Philip K. Hitti of Princeton told the Linguistic Society of America. -In a complete English lexicon, Arabic would figure in no less than 198 entries under the letter A alone.' 1 Many of these words have come into English indirectly through the romance languages, he said, but Arabic also has served as a medium for transmitting j number of words of Greek, Latin, Persian, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Turkish, Coptic or Hindustani origin, such as apricot, azure, borax, camphor and ebony. St. Augustine’s Chair The wonderful old chair of St. Augustine, in which the new archbishop of Canterbury sits on the occasion of his enthronement, has had a long history. Tradition asserts that it was formerly the throne on which the old kings of Kent were crowned, but it is generally agreed that it dates, at any rate, from the commencement of the Thirteenth century. It Is composed of three pieces of Purbeck marble in the design of a Roman state chair and stands In the chapel of the Corona in Canterbury cathedral. Each archbishop of Canterbury Is enthroned in this chair, thus signifying his assumption of the primacy of England.

No Law Against Thinking Even very small girls have their quarrels and following one of them this little girl came home to her mother much exercised over their little dlf'fculty. . ‘Mother, Mary Lou is a cat,” the one little girl said, probably echoing a term she had beard older people use. “Oh you mustn’t say such things,” her mother reprimanded, “you mustn’t say things like that about your little playmates. Lots of times we may think things that we shouldn’t say.” “Well, then, I think Mary Lou is a cat," was the reply. Old Elephants A traveler says that an elephant when old goes on a high cliff and commits suicide, but It is doubtful if any considerable number of them hurl themselves from cliffs in this Banner. It appears to be true, howaver, that the herds of wild elephants we their own natural cemeteries in the swamps or Jungles, to which the wo and weak crawl to die. Some of these places are known to the natives Africa and are valuable sources ivory, other wild animals are said 0 ’dopt this practice of going to Articular spots to die.

Although he produced several crude airplane and helicopter models to illustrate his theories, there is no record that he ever achieved any measure of success with them. —— o New Culinary Process Another item of delicate humor from ajocal three-year-old, while her mother was rolling out a piece of dough: “Mamma is ironing a pie."— Detroit News. o — Youth’s Golden Outlook “The young people of India are not different from the young people of America.

Nowadays... you press a button OR PERHAPS a switch, or seme little gadjet, and a lot of things happen around a home that lighten labor and banish trouble. A WHIRLING fan brings a cooling breeze, and a little copper, dish-like affair throws out a sizzling blast that warms the room in no time. ANOTHER button boils coffee, toasts bread and cooks waffles. Another does a better job than a broom. Another makes a happy laundress out of a dismal washwoman. Another one cools the ice-box. Another—but why go on? LABOR and time savings devices have come and are today within the reach of the humblest home. AND one of the chief reasons why they have come and why they are within the reach of the humblest home is the power of advertising. ADVERTISING has carried the news of these better ways of doing things to every home. It has created a desire to possess them, and countless thousands have purchased them, and live better because of them. READING advertising not only tells you about new, helpful mechanical devices for the home, but it is an unfailing guide to reliable products. Read advertising regularly. It points the way to better living. Decatur Daily Democrat
