UNITED PR TO THE

ess n , HiEO STATES

bt wxxuam phh.it siroas. (United Press Staff Correspondent.)' WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IX THE FIELD. June 10 (by mail). Americans think they are some bears when it comes to slinging slant?, but the British Tommy isn't so worse himself when he sets his bean to woTking along slangological lines. What is patter than "Emma-Gee" for a machine-gun. for ' instance? Or "O-Pip" for an observation post? One must admit that Mere's some class to these terms, and while you've got gopglers on this column just take it from me that there's some pep of the same mustardly standard where this came from. V A "whiz-bang" is a shell of such high velocity that its whizz and its bar.g are almost simultaneous. A "dud" ts a shell which fails to explode. A bum handout is a "dud" meal and a gink with a bone head is a "dud" bo. The tip you got on the filly that was backed off the boards by the other nags on the back stretch was a "dud" and the piece of rope the candidate for re-election handed you was a "dud" smoke. A trench-mortar is a "Joe-Emma" and the big black ball of high explosive the Germans reply with is a "plumpudding." An anti-aircraft gun is an "Archibald" or an "Archie." while the German sh"Il which burst with a fuzzy yellow puff of smoke is a "wooly bear." To the English Tommy a German is a "Fritz" and "Fritz" he is to the Canadians. The Scotph call him an "Aliyman" (probably after the French "Allemand"). but he is nobody to the Irish but a "Jerry." A British staff officer is a "brass-bat." perhaps because of the gold braid on his cap, and Tommy's own headgear, the steel helmet he must wear inside the shell area, is a "tin ha,t." Another name given the staff officers is the "lilies." supposedly on the theory that they toil not. "Blighty" is England, and "going to Flighty," you can Just-bet your last specimen of spondulix, is a "little bit of all right." A "Plighty" is a small wound which invalids you home. A serious wourvl is not a "blighty" for the very simple reason that it puts a crimp in your traveling capacity and gives you billets in a front sick-bay. If the wound is very bad. so bad that stimulants are necessary before you are operated upon,' you will go to "Resurrection Ward." "Ack-Emma" is morning. "Pip-Emma" is "afternoon. And night is not infrequently called "Sawer" which is one way to pronounce the French word "soir." When a thing is all gone it's "na-poo" another assault and battery, with mayhem, on the Francais. A group of mobile batteries, which turn the razzle-dazzle on Fritz or Jerry or Aliyman, first at one part of the line and then at another, is called a "traveling circus." A battle, a raid, or any operation against the enemy of a similar nature, is a "show." A "dud show" means that the stunt did not "come

OK"' in plain English the 'attackers pulled a lemon. When Tommy says "Fritz got his wind up" he means he suffered an attack of frappad pedal extremities. The guns of largest caliber are "Gr.milpn.s." The next largest are "Grnndmns." Of course, "Daddy" is next and "Mother" next and "L'ncle." "Aunty" and the "kids" follow down the scale plum to "Emma-Gee." The kils have nil sorts of names: Willie, Harry. Sally. Polly. Mamie. Little Liz Rnd such, just ns the gunners' fancy happened to strike. BEilLESlpiSFEBj) TOLLESTOX. L S, B :2.'.Co.'s 5th Add.

The St. Paul Garden Bureau Encourages Community Gardening

jpFTY-nVE Saint Paul fancies will becoma soldiers of the soil -when as many gardens are planted on the 1,4-arre tract of land given by a local real estate firm for the use of home gardens. The tract has been divided into lota of 30 by 125 feet, and each family will plant a supply of vegetables. The land has never before been under cultivation. Children cleared the land rubbish and the city ha" led it away.

The land haa been made ready for seeding by a Btaude Mak-a-Tractor made by the F. G. Staude Manufacturing Companj', Saint Paul, Minnesota. The tractor attachment is brought into service by removing the back wheels of a Ford automobile and replacing the Ford wheels with the tractor device. While the picture shows three men operating it, the work is generally done by one man aad a power plow.

Flags will be put up on the plot and also placards distributed by the Saint Paul Gardening Bureau, reading, "Honor the flag by protecting this garden as a part of the nation's food supply." This tract will be one of the largest community gardens in Saint Paul. It is estimated that 500 acres of city property never before cultivated are being used few gardens ia Saint Paul this year.
