LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR I CZECH WITH A SCOTCH NAME

Great Conflict May Be Said in a Measure to Have Revolutionized Our Methods of Speech. It K rally that the i\ar hns rt‘\ nhnioii|/»Ml iii»*|ImmI« t»f »IH<*r|j ;i»< || Inis revnlutionizetl warfare. The snhlirrs <if the trenches Jiave aihled inure words to the lanjMiape of simple men than would he Jollied in 'Jo years of peace. "Strafe,” blifid) 5•' tishj" one might till a pniro with the strange hmxuiiji;e which has- come into use. The soldiers adopt slang as does a M-Iioolhov, and to u v e slang instead of ordinary words suggests a certain dcyrce of hnhwingness and initiation. It also appeals to the sense of humor, and as llu* sohlifus become fmrdcned to warfare they thrust aside emotions mu! talk slang to avoid the old forms i f speech whicdi might cause them to think too much. The American who called a cemetery a “hone orchard” revealed a bit of Imagination and at the same time i i neealed his real feelings. The soldier who tells you that at the moment of danger he "crept into the tall grasv" means that he slipped away and made himself invisible—and he In** coined an image as well as a phrase. Together with the slang words and phraves must be mentioned tin* new words coined or old words used in a vew way. A large number of words has developed from the use of airplane; aircraft, airmail, nlrscout, pursuit plane, bombing plane, empennage ri o stabilizing planes of the nirolaiu l. aileron (a h"« ral balam ing piano), avion, oscadrllle (an airpb»ne Unit), etc. f Other examples are the words di*siTifdivo <f mi li I ary tactics. Some iif these are liaison (co-operation) b«twe* n forces; barrage, eainoudage. listen ng . s * • . f. The "Sink of Gdld. M As nti old correspondent- of yours on •this dull problem of i xi lumge pertnit me to put in u wonl with relerence to yotii* editorial article on "Fluid Gold's World Flow.” You think that "by the triangular readjustment of international hanking the gold which we sent to the Orient (India and OliTui) max find its way to London.” This view, a most dangerous ii!is< om-eti:,'on, hfi* already proved the parent of iritiuite disaster. Since in l s '.*‘b and in defiance of every warning, Kngktnd changed the standard of value in India from Kilver to gold, we have pitched ‘JoO.OIHMMX) gold sovereigns Into the small hoards of India, never to return, irrevocably lost to western trade and the exchange. That drain, India being now the "sink of gold.” lias destroyed Kngland's “gold standard,” as for a qua iter of a century iu your columns I have foretold. It will next destroy yours. The favorable trade balances ♦ f Asia, at present gold prices, will If paid in gob! drain you dry in the coming quarter of a century.—Letter in tl»e New York 5smi.

And the answer is that one of the editor’s livelitst ancestors was an adventurous Scot of the great Itob Koy's clan who fotiiql his way to Hohemiii and stayed there.

FEWER GOLDEN WEDDINGS Late Marriages and the Divorce Courts Reduce the Number of These Anniversaries. More and more inficqu.-ntly ^ 1th the viic.-ceding \cars do wc read oftheoi)v.name of the golden wedding anniversary. Memory recalls the time when j such celebrations were of frequent occurrence: when the sons and daughters, grandchildVen and often greatgrandchildren gathered to honor and felicitate those who had shared the toys and sorrows of two-soore-ten years and invoke heaver/s blessing upon them as they continued band in hand the journey toward life’s sunset. This infrequency may be due in a measure to the present custom of marrying at a later a go than was the rule veveral generations ago and to the fact that we of the present seem to fall earlier under the hand of the grim reaper than did our sturdier ancestors. Hut to tin divorce evil may be accredited tin* greater part of the blame. The present-day marriage U too often hastily contracted, the parties thereto fail to weigh ciiiVfully tin* responsibilities of married life, and tin* most trivial differences sometimes lead to scj aration. The number of couples who live to round out fifty years of utatriuioniul eoiupridonship hecuYnes ever smaller and smaller.

Why Right Tires Wear. Most motorists have noticed that tires on the right side of a car wear more than those on the left side and many ascribe this to uindiig corners to the right more than to the left. Hut they are wrong, asserts an ex tiert driver. The Increased wear, lie says, is caused hy the pilch of tin* road, which throws more of (lie car on i lie rigid side than on the left. The slope of the road causes (lie right rear tire to carry more weight than tlic left rear. The same is true of the right front as against the left front. For this reason it is advised Dint tires lie changed around once a month. The order of rotation do | dared best is rixld rear, left rear, right front then left front.

Baikal, in Russia, Is by Many E» lieved to Be Endowed With Supernatural Powers. I.nl «• Kulkal is Die great hike ef It’i'dii in more than one sense. It is the deepest lake in the world, and one ot the largest, and besides it is, to the Russians, holy. The people who it; habit Die region of J.ake KaiUnl (irmly believe that hoth the lak’e and it« surroundings a re endowed with supermilnnil powers and inhabited by m. earthly beings.

What Okayed Auntie. Aunt Martha, in town with her daughter, who had to lie operated upon, was luiving her Hist taste of urban life. To while away her lime she "hired out” its a cook. The tirst Saturday nigtu she was at work her employer sent her to make some purchases. She was hours returning and as the distance was short, her employer grew rather unxi ms about her. She came in about 11:20. “Where on earth have you been. Aunt Martha?" was Die question that greeted her. Still showing plainly signs of menial stress, she said: "Lawdy, ma'am. 1 hecn trying to lind a place to get across d'it street downtown.

A Pain-Killtr. D >w it in tlie Missouri Owtrks there litis a man who is passionately fond of fishing, yet who lias never been known to cntcli any tish to speak of. A friend once asked him how he managed to keep up such an interest in the sport when lie was so uniformly unlucky. •‘Well, you see, it's lids way,” Die fisherman explained. “I go out early in ttie morning and east my fly in the cool, placid waters just above Die old mill data. If I full to get a strike f reel in and take a drink out of my faithful bottle. Then I make a east in the turbulent waters below the dam. If I do not get a strike I comfort myself wilh a drink from my liottie. Then I seek the still, deep water Just below tin; cave and, seated there on a rock, 1 make another east. Failing to get a strike, I philosophically take a drink from ray bottle. Then I try a cast at the big bend. If there is no strike I again take a drink from my trusty bottle. By that time I don't care wheilter t catch any fish or not!"—New York Evening Post.

Rents Hurt Ghost Industry. In England desperate people in search of houses to rent or buy are advertising that ghosts are no drawhack. Any one who happens to own a hitherto unrented house Iseeause tradition says it Is haunted is assured Dint Ihe seekers fot a domicile will accept It at the rental asked for regardless nf the haunter or hauntess. it Is suspected that In England, as in several oilier countries, ghosts of landlords would lie less objecthinnhle than those of other folk.

In many eases this attitude Is prnhnhly unfair: there are some considerate landlords.—Toronto < Ilohe.

TANLAC DISPLAY MAKES GREAT HIT

I NMll K VNI> ATTRACTIVE DISPLA\ OF CBLBBRATED ?n-;m , CINE ATTRACTS MICH A l l KN. I ION

An advertising Hisp -# . h bus attracted unusual interest, has been placed in the show window of K. Mullins Drug Store on North Jackson street in this citv th«. local ageii.j for the well known and highly successful proprietary medicine, Tanluc The display is not only interesting from an advertising standpoint, hut is educational, combining in an attractive and artistic' manner beautiful scenes from many foreign countries where the ingredients of this preparation are obtained. It has occassioned such favorable comment in the city that the proprict ors of the store state that it 'Vill remain in their window several days longer. Work of (Ireat Artists The display is the work of one of Amenta's greatest lithographic art. ists and the manufacturers of Tanlac state that the total cost will exceed sixty thousand dollars which is said to be a record price for window displays_ It is in te n distinct and natural colors, and presents scenes from the Rocky mountains, as well as from Europe, Asia, Peru, Egypt and other foreijn countries. The natives are seen in their natur al habitat and environment, gathering the roots, herbs and barks that form th,. medicinal ingredients of Tanlac, packing them upon the backs of camels, elephants, llamas and other beasts of burden for transportation by land and sea to the immense laboratories at Dayton, Ohio and W’alkerille, Canada. One of the most striking features of the display is the reproduction of the magnificent laboratory at Dayton. Here the artist has very effectively and impressively protrayed the popularity of Tanlac by introducing a group of people in all walks of life, who are looking at the Tanlac laboratory with expressions of confidence, plainly indicating their belief and faith in

the medcine. Another distinctive feature is the bulletins accompanying the display. They tell briefly and concisely of the marvelous growth and developement of Tanlac until today it has the larg. est sale of any medicine of its kind in the world. These bulletins also quote various standard medical and authorities as to the therapeutic value of physiological effect of the modcine. #0,000 Mottles a Day l'i(im these bulletins one also learns that the new Tanlac laboratories at Dayton an,| Walkerville have a combined daily capacity of HO.nOO bottles and that the medicine is now selling at the rate of 10,000,000 bottles per year. That Tanlac is a preparation of exceptional merit has never been disputed. which accounts for its tremen. dous popularity and large sales throughout the country. It is a powerful reconstructive tonic and body builder and has a far reaching and most beneficial effect upon the entire system. Many strong local endo "senients from those who testify as to the benefit they received, have appeal'd i n the columns of this paper The manufacturers of Tanlac are firm believers in newspaper advertising and have forcibly presented to the public the merits of their products in this way. Their total annual appropriation foe newspaper space ex. reeds one million dollars Their eonv apears in practically nil of the lending daily and weekly newspapers throughout the United States and Canada. —Adv
