Rayon production continued to increase at a comparatively rapid rate in nearly all rayon produc ing countries during 1936. Japan took the lead in total rayon pro duction and the United States dropped to second place. Varieties of Brazilian rubber trees are now being grown in the south of Florida and the Federal Qovernmunt is interesting itself in experiments to develop rubber production in the region below Palm Beach. Expert girls earn from <40 to 180 a week in one London factory where the best quality fur coats and scarfs are made. Word Guinea, Applied to Gold, Named for Country The word guinea was applied to the gold coin worth one pound, one shilling, because the precious met al from which the coins were made came from the country called Guinea. But the dollar, the most popular word in the United States, jis of real German extract, states a writer in Pearson's London Week ly, coming from thaler, a coin that was made, at first, in the German valley, or thai, of St. Joachim, Bo hemia. And just to show that our esti mation of money is no more sordid than that of bygone days, consider the fact that the word wealth is only an extension of the Anglo-Sax on wela, which meant "bliss." The origin of the word tax is found in both Latin and Greek, one j of its first meanings being a list or enrollment sheet upon which names were entered. Synonymous with tax is worry, and this has come down to us through the German wurgen, ; which meant "to choke"! But .very nation on earth seems to have had something to banish worry. Alcohol goes back to the Arabic, al Kol, the spirit arising from distillation. Whisky was for merly the Gaelic usquebaugh, from the two words uisge and beatha, which together mean "water of life." Port is a drink that we owe to Portugal, being derived from the name of Oporto, the town from i which the wine is chiefly shipped. : Brandy is Dutch, coming from bran dewijn (branden ? to burn, and wijn ; ? wine). V You may not believe it, but the real name for gin is "Geneva"! Reference to any dictionary will bear this out. Gin comes from the Dutch genever ? the juniper berry ? the juniper being used to flavor the liquid that is distilled from grain. Because the Dutch special ize in its manufacture, it is also known as Hollands. "The Borders" The country lying south of Edin burgh, Scotland, is called "the Bor ders" and reveals the ancient cas tles and romantic monuments of the Middle ages. In this area are the remains of Melrose, Jedburgh and Dryburgh Abbeys. A more mod ern note is in the district of the Ab botsford house, the manor built by Sir Walter Scott. Westward is the "Burns county," which attracts vis itors as the birthplace of Scotland's great poet near Ayr. Wells Wells were primitive man's first means of obtaining water in places removed from lakes and streams. Arabs in the Sahara desert have dug them for centuries. The deeper the well the warmer the water, since the temperature of the earth in creases toward the center. Artesian wflls (so called because they war* first extensively used in the French province of Artois) have been dug to supply warm water for heating hospitals, greenhouses and fish ponds. Greet lugs Anon g the Arabs Among the Arabs of northern Af rica, the ritual of greeting demands that the man "looking down" should always speak first, irrespective of his birth, wealth, power or dignity. Thus, notes a writer in Collier's Weekly, the man on a camel greets first the man on a horse, the horse back rider nods first to the mule rider, the mule rider bows first to the donkey rider, the donkey rider to the pedestrian and the pedestrian to the sitting man. WORLD FLOCKS TO SEE BIRD PARADISE Keeper of Aviary Make* PeU of Rare Kindt. Vancouver, B. C. ? True to its pro pensity (or beating a path to the doorway ol the innovator, the world is swinging from its wonted course to reach the door of Charles E. Jones, of Vancouver, whose bird paradise is the only thing of its kind in the world. This unique aviary, where SO va rieties of small birds are raised "by hand," is situated in a small back yard, and the approaching vis itor can hear the orchestra long be fore he is able to see the musi cians. This to guide him to the spot. When Mr. Jones established his aviary in 1930 he was returning to an early love. He was born in Eng land fifty-eight years ago, and as a boy revealed his gifts as a natur alist. He used to amaze the grown ups by keeping such groups of pets as a magpie, a jackdaw, a pair of pigeons, a fox terrier, a Persian cat and a Belgian hare all together in an enclosure. And they didn't fight! Feathered Friends. ' Today he numbers his feathered friends in the hundreds. Besides hosts of canaries, he has dozens of varieties of native small birds, and many importations. All of the birds are quite fear less. They swarm over Mr. Jones, his three sons, his dog and visitors. The robins tweak the lobe of -your ear when toM to "ring the bell." The meadow lark lies on his back and uses his claws in a sham boxing match with his master. The birds pry open your lips with their beaks to see if there are peanuts between your teeth. The Lady Amherst cock pheas ant ? aristocrat and wildest thing of the pheasant tribe ? eats nonchalant ly from your hand without the for mality of an introduction The diamond sparrow, native of Australia and so wild that in his native home he must be killed to be seen at close range, lights on your nose and peers impudently at you, his head on one side. Mr. and Mrs. Robin get their daily ration of worms for the family out of a pail held in the hand of Mr. Jones. No Fear of People. The birds ask for no certificate of character. If Mr. Jones has admit ted you, that is good enough for them. They swarm all over you, and you must place your feet care fully to avoid crushing them. The raising of small birds in this way is frowned upon by the authori ties. The bird books advise against it as a game that is "not worth the candle." But Mr. Jones has reduced the process to a fine art. His birds are every bit as healthy as those raised in the fields, and the infant mortality in his aviary is almost negligible. Mr. Jones' is probably the most famous back yard on this continent. His birds have been the subject of three or four newsreels, and of a feature, "Going Places," now being screened. Mr. Jones has had plenty of op portunities to turn his mastery of bird culture into cash, but he scorns commercialism. Many have tried to lure him into the commercial breed ing of pet birds, and other ventures where the name of Jones on the doorplate would spell certain suc cess. But to all such overtures he turns a deaf ear. What he wants to do is exactly what he is doing now, but on a much larger scale. To raise birds, not in hundreds, but in thousands. He envisions a huge aviary built in natural surroundings, such as the birds would choose for themselves. Here the student or tourist could study bird life at close range. Gripping Movies Keep Air Conditioner* Busy Ann Ataor, Mich. ? "Dripping," and not "gripping," is the word the air-conditioning engineer uses to de scribe a melodrama that has the customers sitting on the edges of their seats. Normally the average adult evap orates off about a tenth of a pound of moisture an hour, but under the influence of torrid romance or gang ster movie, this amount may in crease by SO per cent, according to Professor Axel Marin of the Univer sity of Michigan college of engineer ing. On a summer day, if 1,000 persons are viewing a dull to medium pic tore, the ventilating system must take care of about 100 pounds of moisture per hour. But let G-men surround some crooks and start a convincing machine gun battle and the air-conditioning apparatus will have to handle 190 pounds of mois ture. Bed Fingernails in Salt San Francisco. ? Just what tint of red finger nails justifies ejection from a public place is a question for the courts to decide. Mrs. Alta Moore has filed a $10,000 damage suit on the grounds she was ejected from a local sports stadium because she had "slaughterhouse finger nails." Pay Boys to Attend School Honolulu.? Hawaiian sugar plant ers have found one way to make boys attend school ? and like it. Thay pay them for it. DEATHS Arthur C.
