WHAT NAMES, WHAT NAMES!
Isn't it a funny thing that names are
perverted, twisted and even distorted?
Take your's for inst. Has it ever been
mutilated? We'll say it has if it isn't a sub
stantial one like Smith or Johnson.
Now take for inst. Hoffman, which is a
common enough name. In Seward the name
is a mystery and as far as the Gateway is
concerned we think “mystery’' without the
“hash” is putting it mild. Joe, the owner of
the Belmont House refuses to accept the ex
cess baggage of another “F” and spells it
“Hofman.” Then we have Miss Elsie Hoff
mann, who thinks a lot of thealphabet and
takes two “Fs” and to make a long story
short or a short name long, she adds anoth
er “n,” which, as far as we are concerned
is all right. But what we are trying to get
at is the word “Eielson.” There isn’t a pa
per that doesn’t spell the aviator’s name
Eileson. They are prone to print it the
other way, thusly, “Eileson,” which is may-;
be all right too with Eielson because he
knows that they don’t know any better, We:
asked Ben about it when he came thru with
Wilkins and he says the other papers don’t
know any better which we took as a com
plete 180 pound of steam, but like a good en
gine we didn’t blow off before the crowd
until now. That’s one for our side. The
Fairbanks Collegian, criterion for “Heng
lish,” taking the proofs for their magazine
as an example, had in their copy in not less
than 50 places the word “Eileson,” which
didn t do much less than gore the operator
when he saw it. The operator took a chance
with the '‘College boys” and corrected their
error and found that he was correct. Now
he walks around the office thinking that
he has a wonderful memory even tho’ he
refused to be enticed by the “enviable”
Hamley, the boy who went south with Web
ster and is trying to cop the laurels that
“Murdock” is coming to Seward with. All
is well at The Gateway, but when the oper
ator sees Ben’s name turned inside-out,
you can mark up a score in the back of the
dictionary—on the “memo” page if there is
room. We’ll furnish the inserts. So when
your name, if its anywhere within the jur
isdiction of the “Henglish” language comes
to our desk and is printed vise versa, don’t
blame us. We are waging a war with nom
enclature himself and ask your assistance.
Jack Dempsey is writing a series of ar
ticles on “My Split With Kearns.’ It is un
derstood that they split some sizeable sums
before Jack became too proud to fight.
Some Senators may have their politi
cal barks wrecked on Muscle Shoals yet.
Example of unimportant information:
There are many vitamines in a prune.
, There’s good in everything. If tourists
can’t shake the President’s hand, they’ll do
30 per cent less talking when they get back
home.
The Civil Service Commission announc
es an examination for char-women in the
government departments so prospective ap
plicants would better brush up a bit.
