THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"M A R M A LA D E ."
T WAS early in the Fifteenth
century that French epicures
began to take notice of a new
und particularly delicious sweet­
meat that w as beginning to come
over the border from Spain. It
appeared to be a kind of thick
Jam, well flavored -ad with a
body which gave It distinctly
more of a taste than the rather
flat preserves which were In
vogue at that time.
Inquiring
Into the source of this delicacy,
the Parisians found that it came
from Portugal, where the na­
tives had discovered the knack
of treating quinces in such n
manner thut they made a paste
or preserve of exceptional qual­
ity and uppetlzlng flavor. Be­
cause of the fact that the Portu­
guese word for quince Is “ mar-
melo,” the name “ marmalade”
was applied to this 'preserve
which, upon being Introduced
into England, became extremely
popular.
During the Nineteenth cen­
tury the English became very
proficient in the making of or­
ange marmalade, and practically
captured the world trade in this
commodity until American ge­
nius added a new tang and
flavor at an even lower price.
The fact that oranges were al­
most universally used for the
manufacture of this product ob­
scured the original derivation of
the word, and today marmalade
is generally understood to mean
a thick Jam made from oranges,
while, ns n matter of fact, it
should he applied only to that
which is made from quinces.
Even “ orange marmalade” is a
misnomer, ns a literal transla­
tion of the term would be “ or­
ange quince preserve.”

committee of three to begin a state­
wide campaign for a constitutional
amendment changing the name of
South Dakota to Roosevelt. The name
was chosen because the late Theodore
Roosevelt spent purt of tils early man­
hood in Dakota. Among reasons as­
signed for the campaign to change
the state's name is that more than 30
bank failures In North Dakota have
been attributed to South Dakota.

the flames toward the heart of the

troops aided the firemen, but it was
only when the wind let down that their

were witnessed in many sections.

sightseers.
The imperial gardens were opened

CLERICAL WORK
URING the war women went into
railroad work in large numbers,
and took over Jobs that were unsuited
to them, because the need was there
to be filled. Since peace has come
they have left these positions. But
many women are still working for the
railroads In clerical positions and they
are liked for the work. The salaries
are good, and the treatment of the
women is said to be excellent. V'liere
these nre required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms, and
there are matrons whose business it is
to see that the women are comfortably
situated and cared for.
In the Iinnks, too, women are going
more and more Into clerical work.
They are working as cashiers and as­
sistant cashiers, and in the branches
for women customers they hold Jobs
ns paying tellers nnd adjustors. The
work Is agreeable to women who have
a sound training in book-keeping, the
associations are pleasant, anfl there
will be more opportunities for advance­
ment ns the strangeness of having
women work in banks wears off. In
many banks with a large woman
clientele a woman is employed to ad­
vise these clients In regard to invest­
ments. This Is a position of trust nnd
importance.
One high official of a large bank that
employs many women In vnrious posi­
tions said that lie found them effi­
cient, trustworthy and capable.
" I don't know whether we shall ever
have many women as presidents of
banks, but I don't see why we
shouldn’t,” he remarked. “After ail,
it's up to the women.”
