DERIVATION OF GRASS Vilo. Term Probably Is Corruption of Grac and Comes From Middie ~ Age Usage. - How did the term “grass widow” arise? The most popular derivation, according to Pearson’s Weekly, is that “grass” is a corruption of grace, ‘the pronounciation of which, in the’ Latin, is .grahse, @ In the Middle Ages widows were ~sald to be *“under God’s grace” for a year after their husband’s death,, at the end of which period they might - properly, if they wished, remarry, and 80 & widow in grace meant a new - widow. e L - About the same time the wives of the marriages that were, in exceptional cases, annulled by the church, began also to be spoken of as widows of grace, in the rather different sense that they owed their virtual widowhood to the “grace” or favor of the church. So, then, & grace—prol nounced’ grass—widow came to mean a wife, called a widow by courtesy. ! Another explanation is that, exactly ~as we now refer to a-sham party in a business transaction as a “man of [Astraw,"*so an unmarried woman with a child who explained her condition by mention of a supposedly dead husband, was contemptuously spoken of as a “widow of grass” = It is in this sense that the phrase is commonly used on the continent, whereas in this country the term generally means a real wife temporarily Hving away from her husband.

KNEW HOW TO RUN HIS CAR

Motorman Resented the Help of the ‘Truck Driver, and Then ; ' Repented.

A street car approached a busy downtown corner, the motorman clanging his gong. A truck .driver stepped from in front of his machine parked near the track., He waved reassuringly at the motorman and measured with his hands to signal sufficient clearance. The motorman resented the truckman’s role of traffic director. He growled his resentment to a platform passenger. Ao ‘ :

“I don’t need nobody to show me how to run a car. I been runnin’ oné long enough to know when I can get by.” . Y et

He clanged sangrily toward . the next corner where other trucks were parked. Ges n o “I suppose some ‘fool will step out here to tell me how to run my car,” he snapped* He glanced contemptuously at a truck as his car glided toward it. But there was no “fool to give directions thig time and, to the very great astonishment and chagrin of the motorman who knew “how to- Tun ’em,” his car sideswiped the truck.— Kansgas City Star. = el i

A Kind Wish.

When Jean went to her little neighbor’s to vigit she often talked to the grandmother of the house.. “I have a grandmother, too,” she would say, “but she’s in heaven.” * | ‘And she and the grandmother of the house were good friends until one day the . grandmother was cross. .She scolded the two little girls for legving the screen door open, for walking in a flower bed and dropping crumbs on the floor. . ;

The two youngsters sought refuge on the porch.! Grandmother started to follow them there a little later, to try to make up. She realized the necessity of doing so, for when she reached the door she heard Jean say, “Ruth, I wish your grandmother was visitin® my grandmother today."—lndianapolis News, 4 : ’

A Fleld for Profitable Operation.

~ In the northern part of Texas one can ride overland for six days without ever being out of sight of the candelilla plant-—a weed from which a very high grade wax is made. Huge fortunes await the men who will develop the industry of wax making. As yet only six factories are working. The candelilla plant grows from one to three feet high, and as many as 5,000 stems come from the same root. It flourishes in the poorest soil, and reproduces itself annuaily. The cost of labor is low, and the supply ef material Incredibly vast. The wax is made by boiling and steaming the weed. - The crude vax is refined and used in making candles, -phonograph records, polishes, varnishes and even linoleum. And from the fibrous waste & good quality of paper is turned out.

Novel Burglar Alarm.

As a protection against burglary or theft, an alarm signal, described in Popular Mechanics Magazine, has been devised which is adaptable to many uses. In size, it is only a little larger than a big watch, which it resembles, It is loaded with ten blank cartridges which ‘are fired by a fuse on the ‘inside of the device. In case of danger it is only necessary to release a safety catch on the face of the device and drop or throw the signal, keeping hold of the finger ring, from which the alarm is released when Sung.'
