THE | ‘TWENTIETH CENTURY’ ¢ LIMITED Fifty-Fifty One day recently we heard a fellow say that he couldn’t see any fun in| reading this stuff. To tell you the honest truth, if you don’t get any| more fun out of reading it than we do out of writing it, you are not getting much. —Aint We Got Circus— Maybe He’s Right Bill Noonan in the Baudette Re- gion says that you can’t always tell what they mean any more when they; say that a woman “is rolling her own.” He holds, however, that they, *,..might be referring to her hosiery. —Or Her Husband— _ Drier Anyway 1t is reported that England is go-| ing dry. They haven’t had any rain | in the southern part of it for two months. If that’s the case, we re- member only a short time ago of | reading that Canada was getting| pretty - dry teo. Still you would be Jed to believe that prohibition in the United States is helping to make Canada dry anyway. It has made| some people here dry more often. —And Wet More Often— | | Deacons. | Bull hides, No. 1.... Kipp hides, No. 1, lv. Calf skins, No. 1, 1b. each ....

TRACED TO GAME OF TENNIS Origin of Common Phrase, “From Pil- lar to Post,” Believed to Have Been Sclved. To tennis we owe the phrase “to drive from pillar to post,” though its exact meaning has not been traced, Ervest Weekly writes in the Cornhill Mazazine, London. The allusion is to the driving of the tennis ball, and the eariler order, found in Lydgate, was “from post to pillar.””. This was invert- ed to facilitate the stock rhyme with “tossed.” In the old play “Liberality and Prodigality” (1602), a character is described as— Every minute tost, Liks a tennis ball, from pillar to post. In John Marston’s comedy “What You WIilL,” the phrase s used of bat- tledore and shuttlecock, the context developed from simple heglnings; for example. fives was originally played agalnst any convenient wall, and the “pepper box” of a modern fives court imlitates one of the buttresses of Eton college chapel. Tennls is supposed to have sprung from a rudimentary ball game played with simple apparatus in the courtyards and mansions and castles. The entrance-gate and the ’fmnt door would naturally be adopt- jed as the two ends of the court, the pillars of the one and the posts of thd other serving as boundaries. socm AND PERSONAL Mrs. J. J.

As a matter of fact. the national banner has no stars emblazoned on it. They are heraldic “mullets,” or five-pointed representa- tions of the rowels of the spurs of a knight. Thus we have today on the flag a rowel, and not a star, for every state in the Union. The Bursting of a Bubble.
