Word ‘Uncle* From Latin
‘Uncus,’ M eaning a Hook
When we speak of paying a visit
to “uncle” we mean we are going to
visit the local pawnbroker and
“pop” something to raise money.
No doubt the pawnbroker has come
to be looked upon as an accommo
dating “ uncle” who lends us cash
when we are in a tight spot. But
that is not how the word “uncle”
originated in connection with the lo
cal money-lender. It had a different
beginning, notes a correspondent in
Pearson’s London Weekly.
“Uncle” was not used here in any
benevolent sense. It comes from
the Latin word “uncus” meaning a
hook. When articles were deposited
with the pawnbroker long ago, a hook
was employed to lift them. Many
of the pawnbroker’s regular cus
tomers were students, and they
gradually brought the word “ uncus”
into common speech as a reference
to the pawnshop. This degenerated
into the modern “uncle.”
Incidentally, when lifts were insti
tuted and the hook discontinued, we
altered the phrase to "up the spout,”
spout being the slang term for a
lift.
And in case you don’t know, the

Swords Treasured by Japanese
Good swords are one of the most
honored of traditions in Japan.
When a blade is to be cast, many
ceremonies must be performed. A
maker of good weapons not only
wins financial reward, but is re
membered and honored for genera
tions, as Europeans venerate An
ton Stradivarius for his violins.
Once, says a writer in the Wash
ington Post, the Japanese sword
was the weapon of the knights. Serfs
and peasants were forbidden to own
one. It was part of the code of the
knights they allow themselves to be
killed rather than draw swords
against persons unworthy of the hon
or. When a Japanese nobleman
felt that his code of ethics demand
ed he commit suicide to “save his
face,” he chose death by his own
sword as the most honorable means
of killing himself. A proficient Jap
anese swordsman could cut a man’s
head off in the same motion as he
used in drawing his sword from its
sheath.
Value of Leaf Mould
The chief value of leaf mould is
in adding humus to the soil. For
example, a sandy soil has not the
capacity to retain soil moisture on
account of its coarse open text, re.
The addition of humus changes he
texture completely, making it ab
sorb a larger amount of rainfall
and during dry weather to draw
larger supplies from the subsoil.
Its addition to clay soils loosens all
such, making them more easily
worked and prevents baking and
cracking during hot dry weather. Its
value as a fertilizer is chiefly nitro
gen, it lacks phosphorus and potash
(the latter chiefly).

SADIE HAWKINS
MOTIF SUCCESSFUL
(From the Bulldog)
Approximately
200
Jitterbugs
"swung it" to the sweet music of
Hamm, Walpole and Kirchner in the
high school gym, Friday night. The
occasion was the sophomore class’s
Sadie Hawkins party, tor which the
gym was elaborately and appropria
tely decorated. The walls were
adorned with figures, crepe paper
and bright streamers flowed from
the lights.
In true Sadie Hawkins fashion—
a motif originating in the famous
Li'l Abner comic strip—the girls
were responsible for dates and ex
penses.
During the evening games as well
as dancing were enjoyed. Ping Pong,
shuffle-board and Chinese checkers
attracted many of the Sadies and
Abners.
A success financially, the party
was classed by those present as one
of the most delightful events of the
year. It was the first Sadie Hawkins
party given in Hermiston and one of
the first really different affairs in
the high school.
Barbara Moore acted as Mistress
of Ceremonies. The program consist
ed of a Grand March followed by a
tag dance, ladies’ choice and ladies’
tags. Following the dancing, refresh
ments of punch and cookies were
served in the home economics room.

TEMPT THE
LENTEN APPETITE
The season of Lent, with Its spec
ial fast days, brings both its trials
and its triumphs to the homtmaker
with three meals a day to plan for.
Trials on one hand because of pro
viding pleasing and interesting fast-
day dishes is a tax on anyone’s In
genuity; but triumphs, too, since
the very limitations of such menus
have been responsible for producing
some of our most inspired dishes,
usable long after Lent is past.
If Lent Is governing your menu
making, then you will be looking for
dishes that will satisfactorily take
the place of meat in your menus. As
meat Is a high protein food, other
protein foods will have to be used
in its place. Fortunately these foods
are numerous. Milk and cheese have
become famlliary mainstays o the
Lenten season and used with egg
and fish of all kinds they offer end
less possibilities for meatless dishes.
In fact, there is no day's menu that
cannot be made to take on new In
terest and value by the addition of
cheese.
In the recipes given here, flavor
and food value are combined to make
wholesome, well-balanced main dish
es especially suited for Lenten
meals.

Height of Mastodons
Mastodons were only 9>zj feet tall
at best. That makes them smaller
than modem African elephants. The
hairy ancestor of bald Indian ele
phants, the mastodons did have
fierce-looking tusks that stretched
seven and eight feet from their
heads. They were massively built,
with short legs and very flat fore
heads. Mastodons vanished into his
tory only yesterday, geologically
speaking. Scientists say they
roamed the earth “ until a few
thousand years ago.”
