Clark’s Day Drvam. In an address In Washington some time ago Speaker Clark said, accord­ ing to the Pathfinder, that If ba should mxMenty find himself poaeaneod of the wealth of a Rockefeller the first thing he would do would be to establish a publishing house In St. Louis, Mo. “Then." he said. ’Td publish an un­ abridged dictionary, with words pro- amoncefl the way the people of the country pronounce them, and put It on the market to compete with those com­ posed by somebody up In a garret who’s trying to make people hers talk like those In England. "The next thing I’d do would be to have a real history of the United States composed and published under my supervision. In It I would give the people who have done things credit.” Learn Something Every Day. In their antipathy to England and to everything English, or supposedly Eng­ lish. the Germans have apparently un­ dertaken to eliminate from the spoken and written Teutonic language of the day all words of known or suspected English origin. There comes at first hand this episode reported by Prof. F. Refton Delmer, who was Instructor of English in the University of Berlin when the war broke out and who. from that time until May 23 of thia year waa either a civil or an Interned prisoner. Wishing to make him uncomfortable at a police station one day a portier- i frau. who knew his nationality, rebuked her departing companion for UBlng the word adieu. "Ach was," she called after-her. “adieu sagt man nlcht mehr. Das 1st EngHsch." 0 At Pool of Bethesda. Kit Ration« for Officers.

They may not creep Into future dictionaries, remarks Ixtndon Answers. but they will cer­ tainly remain as part of the common language of everyday use. “Narpoo,” coined by Tommy from the French "Il n'y a plus,” Is now our general ex­ pression for “nothing, doing." It la safe to assume that the expres­ sion “over the top” will become part of our language, to be used when man must be put to the supreme test. "Anzac" is another coined word that will remain flor all time. A “ 'scroun- i ger" for a forager, “buckshee” for any­ thing extra io the way of rations, and “Conchy” for the shirker, are hardly likely to be forgotten. Stirling Castle Inseparably Connected With All That the Scottish Heart Holds Dear. Recently the English government sent some German prisoners of war to Stirling castle. The ancient fortress is again a prison; again th« “eye of i the north” keeps watch over the na­ tion's safety. Stirling Is only a few hours’ ride from Glasgow, but It Is a journey from the nineteenth century to the middle ages. The castle, on the right bunk of the Forth. Is built on th« highest Up of a promontory, close to th« edge ef th« crag. Its position 1« almost Impregnable. On th« aerth and south a rolling plain stratahM away to th« f«et of th« Ochll bills. b«l«w, th« Forth winds sil­ ver acrosa th« plala. On the east and west th« water pro.eete th« fortress. The key te the highlands, ths bulwark of tb« north, Stirling was for csatu- ri«s Scotland's mala defense against the invading English. Much history has beea made on th« plain at th« oastle's foot. The Ger­ man prisoner! from the ramparts can view the scene of saven Important bat­ tles. On the northwest on the top of a high hill stands a statu« to William Wallace. At the foot of th« hill was fought the battle of Stirling, Just In- side the curve of the Forth Ls the field of Cambuskenneth, where in 843 the Falkirk, Scots defeated the Picts, where Wallaco was defeated, lies to the south. Years later on this same field Prince Charlie won one of his most Important battles. Bannockburn, the holy ground of Scotland, lies to the south. Fvem the castle you can sec the center of the field, the Boro- stone, marked by a tall white flagpole. Mary of Scots was crowned In th« castle hall. Her son. afterwards James the Sixth, passed his baby days here. The Iron bar« at the windows of some of the rooms wer« placed there to pro­ tect the tiny princ« from kidnapers. Years afterwards he was crowned as king In th« same walls. John Knox preaohed th« coronation sermon. —v Advise fer Would-Be Flyers. The secret of the wbola game of learning to fly is.

Food Waster Rebuked. The naan who went into a Dallas (Texas) hotel dining room and com­ plained because sugar was rationed probably believes now that It would have been more sensible for him to eat what was set before him and say nothing. When he was told sugar was scarce the man broke up two rolls Into bits and threw them on the floor. Inside of an hour a committee wulted upon him and he was told to buy a Red Cross button, apologize to the waitress for rudeness and write a let­ ter dally to the Dallas council of de­ fense as long as he remained In Texas, so that his movements could be fol­ lowed. The man showed that he was sorry for his display of temper and It is not believed he will waste food any more. Weigh the Babies. If you have babies to weigh prepare to weigh them now. This la ths ba­ bies' year. It began April fl, the first anniversary of our entrance Into the war. The first step la to weigh aH the children under five years of age.
