“Eating Humble Fie” la to Act
in Apologetic Planner.
A htj table person tins tint a poor ,
opinion of himself. IU> is willing to
lake an inferior position and to allow
others to regard him as beneath their
rank.
In the Middle Ages, lords and ladies
rode lo the hunt with huntsmen and
retainers as members of the party.
However, the latter only had charge i
of the hounds and the horses and did
not share in the nohle part of the
sport, that of killing the deer at the
end of the chase.
When the venison pasty was served
to tlie lord and his household, the
nobles sat upon a dais or raised plat
form at one end of the dining ball, as
an indication of tlieir high rank. At
the other end of the room the hunts- ;
men and servants were led upon a
pie made from Hie heart, liver and en
trails of the deer. These parts of the
deer were called the “unihles.” So
you see (hat eating the “umhle pie” or
“humble pie” was an indiration of low
rank.
As we use the expression, “eating
humble pie” means to act in a humbly
apologetic manner.—.Montreal Herald.
Why Mcav Mexico’s nakes
Are Red Still Mystery
Hakes and springs Hint turn crim
son in liie autumn are a feature of
the Unite Sands National Monument,
X. M„ according to reports from Cus
todian Tom ("harles.
The coloration does not last long,
tk-» water next changing to a milky
color. On a recent expedition I here
one small salt spring just off I ho mon
ument area was found to ta* still red.
It was too late t" see most of the red
lakes “in their bloom.” the main Imtly
of water being then milky, with red
still remaining around the edges. Hx
innination with a powerful magnifying
glass showed much life in the water,
l ilt there was no trace of color in any
of tlie living forms.
it is hop-’il tiiat the iptestion “Why
are Hie red hikes n 17” mat la- solved
at ihe chemical laboratory of the State
College of New Mexico, to which a
sample of the water was stmt.
The principal feature of the White
Saints monument is its great dunes
of glistening “sands,” deposits of
wind-blown gypsum and anhydrite.
V/I;y Sailors Wear E'ua
The bine color s ■ prominent in tlie
uniforms ot almost all marines is of
ancient origin Vcretins, in his fifth
bool; on tin- military affairs of llie Ro
mans, traces the origin of this color
to tlie Vend I, an ancient people ihvell
inn m ar the coast of Biscay, anti well
versed in seamanship. It was custora
1 ary among them to paint their outgo
■ inn ships, as well as the masts anil
sails, with a blue color; also their sol
i diers and sailors wore blue uniforms,
i According to this author, the Latin
' word "Vermins.'’ which was both the
\ name of the color and that of the peo
; pie, points to its origin, from the
Venetl the custom was adopted by
the Romans.
Why It’s Caterpillar Club
The Caterpillar club includes avia
tors who have saved their lives by
forced parachute Jumps from their
i places. According to Murphy's hook
“I’urndiute." two Payton newspaper
men proposed the composition of the
club Immediately after Lieutenant
Harris made a spectacular leap in
October. IP--. The name was sug
gested by the fact that the parachute
was made of silk, and that "like the*
worm that spins the cocoon, he fled
from death on silken strands.” The
“club" lias no officers, clubhouse, con
stitution, bylaws or dues.
Why On- Is Called “Dunce”
Puns or dnnsman was a name ap
plied by their opponents to the
Seottists or followers of Duns Sentus,
tiie great school man. When, in the
Sixteenth century, the Seottists ob
stinately opposed tlie new learning,
the term duns or dance became. In the
mouths of tlie humanists and reform
ers. a term of abuse, a synonym for
one Incapable ot scholarship.
Why “Cab” 3s Name of Vehicle
The word is a colloquial abbrevia
tion of tlie French cabriolet, originally
a passenger vehicle drawn by two or
four horses. It was introduced into
London from Paris in 18-0. London
rot or.lv turned "cabriolet" into “cab”

Those words were familiar usage in
old Knglish, .nit during the middle
Knglish period were gradually super
seded hy the plural ye. you, your,

Why Synonyms Are Needed
The main stylistic use of synonyms
is to give variety and accuracy of dic
tion. There is in most eases a slight
individual shade of meaning in each
svnonym. Development of synonyms
is one of convergence and then of di
vergence. but the meanings are origi
nally unite distinct.
