WASHINGTON, D. C Can you
name a seven letter fabric from Cm

Or a five letter surgical dressing
that took its name from u town in
Palestine ?
Or a popular seven-letter color

The number of common words that
had their origin In place names is
surprising, says a bulletin from the
Washington, D. C, headquarters of
the Xationul Geographic society.
Calico traces its ancestry to Calicut,
madras to Madras, und cashmere to
Kashmir.
Town Xumes for Textiles
"Textiles have the habit of appro
priating town names for trade marks
and the very history of the art of
making cloth can be followed along its
westward march by putting capitals to
familiar terms and slightly changing
the spellings. Silk takes its label
from old China both terms having a
common irigin in Seres, the early
name for the people of China. Dam
ask rightly reminds us of Damascus,
although honor for the cloth's crea
tion goes to China. Kurope called it
damask because Damascus was the
easternmost city which they knew as
its source. In Justice to Damascus,
it must be said her own' looms later
made the wt-ave as perfectly as her
steel workers made damascene
blades.
"Muslin still is woven In the cool, I
damp cellars of Mosul from long staple i
silky cotton of southern Mesopota
mia. Fustian is a heritage of Home in
Kgypt. the 'fossa turn' or walls, pro
tecting an imperial legion on the Nile
became the nucleus of ( Cairo and in I
Fustat, or Old Carlo quarter. Arabian
weavers created fustian. Names bear
living testimony to France's contri
bution to the textile art; cambric is
the child of Cambria, no long since a
focal point of the West Front. Tulle,
in central France made possible the
gauzy cloud of beauty for many a
modern "creation, while gauze itself
honors laga in Palestine; Arras, olso
on tho western front, made wall hang
lugs so well that civilization forgets to
capitalize the 'a,' and gingham is said
to relate to Gungamp in lirittnny.. al
though It may go back to a Malay
term 'ging gang.' meaning striped.
Cows and Cloth of Jersey
"Worsted barely manages to squeeze
on the mays of Norfolk county, Eng
lund, today, so little connection has it
with the production of thousands of
yards of worstd. The channel Island
of Jersey is well advertised by its
cows, but who conects it with the jer
sey cloth that It originally made for
stockings? Axminster in Devon, ad
mits it has made no rugs for more
than one hundred years.
"These towns and places proudly
boast their inventions but the way of
comparison wit hthe rates charged
and collected for like service in simi
lar size cities. .
inventors is hard they often fail to
get the credit. There Is a noble bird
in America which graces our feasts
nnnmiUy, but because, some one
thought It was a native of the Near
East we call it turkey. The guinea
I pig ought to be a Guiana pig and
'about all panama hats see of Panama
Is the canal. And finally there is
lirussels carpet It Is almost painful
to explode the myth, but Brussels
makes no Brussels carpets. They were
made in Wilton, England, another
'trade mark,' and took the title Brus
sels carpet because the designs imi
tated the famous Brussels tapestries.
Names of Men mill III vers
"A man achieves fame's pinnacle,
it has been said, when his name is in
coroprated into the language as a
verb. The verb 'pasteurize' is a splen
did wreath on Pasteur's grave. Few
cities or countries give us verbs, al
though they have given hosts of nouns
and adjectives. Sixty miles south of
Smyrna, a river empties Into the Med
iterranean after twisting a 200 mile
tortuous course. Modern maps call It
the Menderes but once it was known
as the Meander, memorialized In tho
verb, 'to meander.' In 1500 when the
classics of Greece and Rome were be
ing saved to the world by tho first
master printers, Aldus Manutius of
Venice brought out an edition of Ver
gil, dedicating it to the States of Italy.
For this volume he created a new font
of type, simulating script. When we
Italicize today we -use that font. A
Chinese port serves to Inbel a practice
In the verb 'shanghai.'
".Make a better mousetrap, it Is said.
and the world will wear a path to your
door.' Names of towns and countries
In our language are trade marks of
famous 'mousetraps. Venice early
adopted the sentiment 'when better
mousetraps ure made, eVnice will
hake them,' and this city has given its
name probably to more things than
anv other. There Is tribute to its
craftsmen in the erms of Venetian
glass. Venetian sauce, Venetian rtd, Ve
netian ball. Venetian blind, Venetian
carpet, Venetian chalk. Venetian (a
textile), venetial dentil, Venetian door.
Venetian embroidery. Venetian flat
point, Venetian mallow, Venetian pearl,
Venetian raised point, Venetian soap,
Venetian sumac, venetial swell for or
gans, Venetian white, Venetian win
dow, and a, Venetian, meaning a dom
ino for masquerades.
"Sardine" and "Sardonic"
" 'Sardine'" and 'sardonic' have lit
tle in common but they had the same
mother, Sardinia. The first arose
from the native practice of preparing
small fish and the last from the fact
the ancients got thert. an herb that
puckered up tho mouth. The Phoeni
cians got salt at a little port in south
ern Spain, and so they called ii'malac,'
meaning to salt; but when we use Its
revised form, tnalaga, we mean a lus
cious grape. 'Vandal' and "frank are
the opinions of dying Home concern
ing certain Germanic tribes.
"Long ago a bloody battle was
fought near Magenta, Italy. Quite un
conslcous o fthe gory allusion, women
often wear magenta named for this
reddened field. In 1636 a fancy dress
ed troop of Croats from Austria were
in France and the consummate glory
of their costume the busy business man
perpetuates today as his only nvntty
the tie, or cravat, from 'Croat.' ...
"Patricians of Home liked to sum
mer at a pleasant, sheltered seacoast
resort they called Hutu. Home's Miami
has given its name to thousands of In
dentations on hundreds of cencoasts
and in some tongues it still Is 'bail.'
Clmmagito Deserves Another Name
"Champagne should be called perlg
onn, and thereby hangs a tale. Cer
tainly tho man who may have invent
ed the use of corks to stop bottles as
well as a wine deserves a plnce in the
language. Dom Perignun was a monk
in charge of the cellars of the Haut
Vlllem Abbey In Champagne back in
the eighteenth century. It had been
the cuBtom to stop bottles with pads
of hemp or cloth steeped in oil, but
the monk conceived the use of corks
instead. The firmly stoppered wine,
he discovered, cut up-all sorts of an
tics, that soon became famous. The
Evil One helped In its manufacture, so
rumor spread, but finally Dom Perig
non's secret leawed out. The world
goes elsewhere than to Champagne for
the concoction-today, though it Is call
ed champagne, for getting Perignon.
"The English language is full of
geography. Hut haw many of us con
nect those terms with cities or places;
lima beans, laconic, limerick, china,
coffee, canaries, bauxite, savoy, gas
conade, troy weight, sisal, cologne,
bologna sausage, tangerine, derby,
ctnstilp soap and astrakhan ?"
