Jack Flanagan and Claude Nasburg
should engage in it. Now If they
had only barkened baqk to the days
when they wrestled with Greek
verbs and Latin declensions they
would have quickly realized that the
word "Milllcoma" Is of undoubted
Greek derivation. It Is formed of
tho two words Mil or Mel, mean
ing "honey" and tho other greek
word, Koma or Coma meaning
"rest." There you havo it "Sweet

It Is, too, for a club "sweet-rest."
"Well, I should say so," remarked
Bill Lawlor, as ho threw himself
