Origin of “Tommy Atkins’*
•‘Will you please tell me how the name
of 'Tommy Atkins’ was given to English
soldiers? c. E. W."
One authority upon the derivation o!
popular phrases and names says thal
the term is founded upon the English
uduge of, making out blanks for military
accounts, etc., after this fashion: ‘‘1.
Tommy Atkins, affirm," etc. I give the
stater*unt for what it may be worth. It
accords well enough with the formula of
John Loe and Richard Roe."
Candied Grape Fruit Kind
■ I aie some delicious crystallized grape

Grapefruit has never been so abundant

utilize the rinds. MRS. S. R. O.”
Scrape out the membrane and juice,
leaving the peel clean. Cut into strips of
uniform sizo with the scissors and lay in
cold water for H4 hours, changing the
water three times during this time. Drain
and lay the peelings in clean, cold water.
Coc.lc gently for 10 minutes after the boil
begins again; drain and cover with more
cola water. Cook in the third water
untii the skins are tender and clear. Have
ready in a saucepan a syrup made in
the proportion of one cup of sugar to one
of watoi, and cooked clear. Put in the
shredded feel and simmer for HO minutes.
Leave in the syrup all night. Sext day
drain off every drop of syrup and spread
the strips upon platters in the sun and
air. Finally, when they are cold and
stiff, dredge thickly with granulated
sugar; spieaci out again to dry, and pack
in boxes lined with waxed paper, with
the same between the layers. This is a
most attractive sweetmeat, and it may
be put up by any tolerably intelligent
cook. I commend it to the notice of our
amateur confectioners.

Like many another “home-made’’ word,
it is hardly elegant. Yet is conveys your,
meaning and may pass muster with gram

“reasserting" and use the prefix “re” in
dozens of other ways. So let your com
posite word stand. All the same, i should
prefer to take more time and write "in

Brush out all the dust and then

there is no dust, and let it dry. Should
any grime or sallow ness lemain, repeat
the process. Another way is to go all
over the hat. after brushing out the
dust, w’ith fine white cornmeal slightly
dampened. It should be just moi£t
enough to cling to .the straw’ without
wetting it. Set away for a day, covered
to exclude the dust, and brush out the
meal. Rome advise mixing salt w'lth the
meal before moistening it. When the
hat is clean you may bleach it with
peroxide.

Just a Foolish Superstition
"Why is Friday reckoned an unlucky
day the world over? There must be some
reason for the universal belief to that
effect. I know good, sensible people who
would not, if they could help it, begin a
piece of work or Het out upon a Journey
on Friday. An uncle of mine had a run
of bad luck all his life and everybody
said^ "What else could be expected of
a child that was horn on Friday and on
the 13th day of the month?’ Is it likely
that the wrhole world is at fault in this
matter? You will answer that the idea
is a foolish superstition, but may there
not be reason in it? EMMA J. G."
Friday is not reckoned an unlucky
day all the world over. The superstition
dates back to the earlier ages of the
Christian era when all Christendom
spoke shudderingly of the crucifixion
and accounted Friday' as "earth's 'sad
dest day.’’ There is absolutely no reason
why it could be banned as unlucky, ex
cept the lingering superstition in the
minds of the ignorant left by those
early' days 1 am amazed that you should
cite the misfortunes of your uncle in
support of the belief. To credit your
hypothesis would be to dishonor a mer
ciful and Just father. None but a cruel
despot would curse a child all his life
long for a "happening” for which no
body’ was to blame. Dismiss the hurtful
folly’ as soon as you can.

Miss Zoe Black, President of the Older Girls’
. Council, Talks About the Forthcoming Conference
«••••••••■*•••••••••••••••••••••••aaassaa-(_s _
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE
( Next Friday will mark the initial day
of the third annual conference of the
Older Girls' council, one of the most
important and influential events which
wall take place during the year in con
nection with the many activities con
ducted under the auspices of the Birming
ham Sunday School association.
Through the splendid offices of Miss
Minnie Kennedy, the general secretary
of the association, Birmingham has be
come one of the most important points
in Sunday school work in America and
surrounding herself with an able corps
of co-workers, young women who have
the ability and the inclination, and the
perseverance to push the nuvement for
ward and make it a success she has per
fected the work of the Older Girls’ coun
cil until today it Is one of the most en
tei prising and successful institutions con
nected with Sunday school work.
J Eight hundred delegates will assemble
I next Friday for the conference, and so
daily as well as otherwise, the meeting
j will be marked by a delightful atmos
■ phere, bringing together representatives
i from M Sui day schools, all busy, inter
> sted, progressive in their zeal and ardor
to make the conference a success.
Xoite lias done better or more effetive
’ work in me organization and mainten
! ance of the Older Girls’ council than Miss
Xoe Black, a young woman of marked
lability and cleverness, who. has given
her 1 tart and time generously to the
a •< omplishment of successful results for
the cause.
In talking with Miss Black about the
conference of the Older Girls’ council
last Friday, she said, • among other
things:
"Two years ago the word "teen age’
was never heard in Birmingham nor in
deed in the United States. It grew out
ul a need for a word to definte a group
of people who were beginning to receive
earnest attention from the Sunday school
world. Why, when we first began to;
use the expression, we were sometimes
asked: "How old are boys and girls in |
the "teen age?’ Two years of work and j
agitation have counted, however, for a ,
glimpse recently into the windows of I
cue of the large department store showed j
an array of dresses on exhibition with a j
placard. ‘Dresses for ’teen age girls. '
This shows that the namy with the idea
back of it has found place in <»ur vocabu
lary and minds, because advertisers
usually look for the newest and cleverest
devlces%to their business and the Sunday
school is responsible for that expression."
“Some people seem to have the idea that i
‘teen age work’ is some kind of new '
organization or outside movement," Miss j
Black continued. ‘This Is not a true j
conception, however. For years begin- i
ners’ weirk, adult work and home depart
ment work have been current terms in
the Sunday school. 'Teen age work

j "The one important principle that if

i to hold the life of a 'teen age hoy or girl
| that we will have to grip the whole life;
• 1 mean." Miss Black said, “by that, the
| physical, mental, social and si»iritual
j Any Sunday school class can make pro

morning brings out the mental, and the
mass meeting or Sunday afternoon the

to the conference or not, are invited,
Seats will be reserved in tne gallery of

large audiences, so that there will he
no trouble about being pleasantly located.
The chotij* of 100 voices will give two
numbers, 'Take Thou Heart.' and ‘Jesus >
Calls l’s O'er th, Tumult.' and will be $
one <*f the attention features of the oc
casion. The offertory will be a quartet
can.posed of Misses Irene Flippen. Ila

of Miss Rummage, the girl choir master
for the Older Girls’ council. Miss Emma
Bliss, woman chairman; Mrs. Van Kuren,
din t to?- of the chorus, will also be fine
acquisitions."
'Pile address for the afternoon will be
"Outgrown Shells." by Miss Minnie Ken
nedy. the general secretary of the Bir

as Miss Kennedy always has something
interesting to say, her address is antici
pated with much pleasure. The prayer
of con«e. vatic n will be given by Miss
Rosa Strit kland. The installation of new
officers of the Older Girls' council will
close the programme which we thing is
by far one of the best that has ever been
pres* nted."
