while a new name appears. Some
times It remains in the first flight a
few weeks, sometimes an entire sea

lower levels.
When you find It staying there sev

for consistent ability. The owner has
' something more than a mere flash of

top.

Limited Armaments and
Limitless Progress
History has taught that Peace not War
brings happiness. It is to be hoped that
this knowledge will be reflected clearly
in the Disarmament Conference at
Washington, November 11th, that the
world’s wealth may be conserved for
the world’s prosperity.
As with nations, so with men —success
comes through ability to recognize and
plan for the best in life.
Whatever the results of the Disarma
ment Conference, a conference in the
home now may well decree a bank ac

TRACED TO PRIMITIVE DAYS
How tho Word "Score" Cam# Into
Qonoral Use aa Indicating a
Token of Reckoning.
“The days of our age are three
score years and ten," said the Psalm
ist, showing that our forefathers reck
oner! by vows, a system of keeping
account of figures hosed probably In
Its original form upon the practice
of counting upon the fingers nnd toes.
The word “score" Itself comes from
Hie Anglo-Saxon, being nothing monfrf
Hum the word "scoren," which Is the
post participle of "aceran”—meaning
to cut. It Indicated a notch or incision
made upon a tally stick for the pur
pose of keeping n record of financial
transactions.
The "score-mark" was the twentieth
notch u|>ou these primitive "account
hooka"—a cut which was longer nnd
deeper thnn the others. Hence the
expression, “to pay off old scores,"
means not only the repayment of old
debts, but the revenging of grievances
which have cut deep nnd left a last
ing Impression.
It Is f>r the same reason, that of
reckoning, that we speak of the
"score" of n game—meaning the rec
ord of the points made—and tho
“score" or musical record of an opera.
—London Tlt-Blts.
