MAKING NEW WORDS. One of the well-known Fngllzh words, cnbul, meaning a strong com- blr.ation to curry out a pre<tetermlne<l purpose, was made from the Initials of the five British ministers, Cllffonl, Arlington. Buckingham, Ashley and Lauderdale of the cabinet under Charles II. who signed a treaty with France against Holland In 1073. The word news Is fancifully devised from the letters standing for north, east, west and south an a weathervane, but Its more probable derivation is from new. A few years ago a western or ganisation of women took the uatue •■Wimodaughsis," from the first sylla bles of wives, mothers, daughters and sisters. More recently the organisa tion of Camp Fire Giris adopted Its motto, “Wohelo,” the first two let ters of work, health and love. The most recent example of the creation of a won! from Initials Is Ansae on the Gallipoli peninsula, made from the Australian and New Zealand army corps. In conjunction with such a real name as Slnla It looks Turkish enough to pass muster, but it Is only an army emergency word devised from a far-off military contingent and not yet on any save the latest newspaper maps. Front the city dweller’s point of view the fall of the year means morn ings when It Is a delight to leave the house and a sorrow that the street car tracks are not further away; It means Saturday afternoons and Sun days when a tramp along a lane or over a field path brings recreation Jn the truest sense of the word. When nature puts on Its gown of russet and gold and copper it charms away the sense of oncoming winter blasts and makes one forget the shriveling noons and restless nights of midsummer, says Rochester Post-Express. The farmer turns with complacency to the final Job of getting his crops trans mitted into a balance at the bank, boys garner their booty of nuts and openly pilfered apples, the golfer takes %ls final swings and pledges him self to better things next year and the coal man sings with Joy as he hears the precious fragments tinkle down the chu’es toward the gaping furnace. The question has arisen in Phila delphia whether civil service examin ers are vampire proof, and whether goo-goo eyes have more Influence in landing Jobs than correct papers, says Baltimore American. The question is answered entirely in favor of the offi cial incorruptibility of the examiners and the promise is made that any in tending Delilahs will be routed and put to flight in great confusion If they attempt vampire wiles. The rais ing of the question, however, goes to show that even officialism cannot wholly shake off the susceptibilities of human nature. mt Scott Herald Published Every Friday at lamia Station, Portland, Oregon.

Work Is the sinews of society, but a society based on leisure would disintegrate Into an aggregation of hoboes. There Is Indirectly, however, a social value In leisure.
