By FRANK COLBY.
Doughboy
Noun. Popular name for the
American soldier.
Question: How did the term
doughboy originate?—M. G.
Answer: The exact origin is un
certain. One theory is that as foot
eoldiers were obliged to march in
"dough" ihravv mudi during wet
weather, they were called doughboys.
Another explanation is that the
term had its origin in Colonial days
when soldiers used pipe-clav to
whiten parts of their uniforms.
When it rained, the pipe-clav be
came a sodden mass of sticky dough.
According to another authority,
the word doughboy once signified a
boiled dumpling of raised dough
eerved aboard ship. The term, as

applied to American soldiers, dates
back to Civil War days when in
fantry uniforms are said to have
been embellished with “large globu
lar brass buttons" which bore a
startling resemblance to the dump
lings, or doughboys.
Although the term has long been
known among soldiers of the Regular
Army, it did not come into general
use until America entered the World
i War.
Hawaiian Navajo
There are 50,000 Navajo Indians
on the Navajo reservation in Ari
zona, where “Kit Carson,” Edward
Small production for United Artists
release, is being filmed. But the
role of Indian chief goes to A1 Ki
kumi, a full-blooded Hawaiian. After
numerous tests Producer Small de
cided that Kikumi looks more like
an Indian chief than did the Indian
actors he tested.
UNCLE RAY'S CORNER —Hitler Broke Treaty. Built Tahks
. In the last year of the World War.
Americans set to work w-tth a will
to turn out tanks for the Allies.
These tanks were to be fitted with
"Liberty motor*"
If the w-ar had lasted until 1919,
a vast fleet of American tanks would
have appeared on the western front.
As It was. the war was over before
such tanks went into action. Amer
ican soldiers, however, manned quite
a number of French and British
tanks, and in that way helped to
throw the Germans back.
German tanks appeared on World
War battlefields, but they were more
clumsy than those of the Allies. The
Germans lost the war largely be
cause they could not match the
"moving forts” of the other side.
After the close of the war, the
Germans agreed in the peace treaty
that they would not build any more
tanks. Hitler seized power, how
ever. and broke the terms of the
treaty, one after another. Huge
tanks were built for use by Ger
man soldiers.
Meanwhile the French and Brit
ish carried out plans to build tanks.
Some were light, some medium and
some heavy. Many tests wrere made
with "one-man tanks. ’ but it was
A British tank of the present war.
found that even a small tank needed
at least two men. one to drive and
the other to fire small cannon or
machine guns
The first. World War tanks made
a speed of only 3 or 4 miles per hour,
they could go across trenches 10 feet
wide.
Since then, steps have been taken
to add to the speed of tanks. Some
have wheels to use on smooth road
ways and tractor treads for rough
ground.
By 1930 some tanks could make
a speed of 40 miles an hour over
rough ground. Present-day speed is
higher than that.
When Hitler struck across Hol
land, Belgium and Northern France,
he put a vast number of tanks into
the battle. It was reported that
2,500 German tanks were taking
part in the attack.
Many German tanks were so heavi
ly armored that anti-tank guns
could not halt them. As fast as
they could, the French brought their
"seventy-fives” into action, and
these proved better able to cut
through the armor. A "seventy
five” is a small cannon with a bore
of 75 millimeters, or about 3 inches.
