Daily News writes that the crossword puzzle was discontin ued in the News June 7, and that the elimination of the feature has had no ef fect upon the News’ circulation. George H. Leigh, maaag’ng editor, says that he agrees with the stand taken by J. F. Bresnahan. managing editor of the New York World. -, While W. Carey Dowd. Jjh. busiuess manager of the Charlotte (N! C.) News, writes that he believes the day of the crossword puzzle is passing. “The time seems ripe for something new,” Bresnahan. said. “Alert newspa pers will be able to profit by this some thing, just as they have profited from puzzles and radio.” Dowd says he doubts the advisability of discontinuing publication on Sundays. "We believe the proper procedure would be to discontinue the daily release aud concentrate on a large three or four column puzzle for Sunday’s issue,” says Dowd. Why “Uncle Sam”? The derivation of “Uncle Sam” as the nickname of the United States .has never been determined for certain. The popu lar derivation assigned to it is as fol i lows: During the War of 1812 the govern ment purchased supplies from Elbert Anderson, a contractor at Troy, N. Y. i When the government buys goods it ap -1 points an inspector to see that they are ■ up to specifications. In this case the in . spector was a good-natured man named : Samuel Wilson who went by the name of Uncle Sam. The goods were marked “E . A.—U. S.” The initials stood for ‘El | bert Anderson to the United States.” One I of the employees at Anderson's was ask ed what the “U. S." stood for. He faee .tiously replied. “Uncle Sam.” The joke took and gradually was adopted as the nickname pf the United States ns the personification of America. But this story lacks proof. In fact it is practical ly disproved by the following quotation from the Troy Post, Deb. 13. 1813: "Loss upon loss, and no ill luck stirring but what lights upon Uncle Sam’s shoul ders, exclaim the government editors. This cant name for our government Ims got almost as current as ‘John Bull!’ The letters U. S. on government wagons are supposed to have given rise to It.” The foregoing sentence was written less than a year after the war of 1012 was declar ed and in the very town where “Uncle /Bam” popularity supposed to have origi nated through the incident previously re lated. Linguistic Record £or Newspaper Men. TVbat may be a record for the lin guistic Balkans, is claimed by Luben Danailoff, a Bulgarian newspaper man. At a recent newspaper convention in Bukh'arest, Rumania, Danailoff was called upon for a few words on harmony in the Balkans. Starting in Rumanian, he talked to eyery race in the gathering. French, Serbian, Greek, Russian, Turkish, Ger man, Hebrew, and Bulgarian newspaper men were present in the room. He changed his language without an interruption, and not one grammatical error did he make. , , He ia now studying English to prepare for a .trij) to the United States. j j i \Ve wish to thank our many friends for the kindness shown its during the sick ness and death of out dear husbnnd aud fattier aud for the many ears and beauti ful floral designs rendered, MRS.

Philadelphia Record. ; The turn of the. year, comes in an other day, and soon we shall have at hand the figures for industry and trade during the first two quarterewpf 1925. Jt is believed that on the whoflF they will show* up very satisfactorily, but cer tainly they will reveal nothing in the way of the business boom predicted in such grandiloquent fashion at the time flf the November at the be ginning of the new year. The gait has been more leisurely, but it is now taken for granted, and the exaggerated and expansive viAv is no longer expressed or accepted. The Harvard. Economic Ser vice made this forecast on June 20: “At the middle of June the outlook is for continuation of n large volume of business and relatively easy money con ditions daHng the last half of 1925. This should mean stable or possibly rising commodity prices, of which there middle of May; but it does not mean the disappearance of caption and hand to-mouth buying,!’ At the convention of the National As sociation.of. Real Estate Boards Inst week in Detroit. Simon TV. Straus, the New York film near nnd president of p. TV. Straus & Company, said that! America is in the midst of an era of! building construction of_ such magnitude as no other nation in history ever dreom- Cd of undertaking. He predicted the last year’s new building record of $5,750,- 0001)00 would be exceeded by $250,000,- 000 in 1925. “With a $(5,000,000,000 building program outlined for the year,” he said, “al business must - move for ward along prosperous lines; all trades and industries will be benefited.” In noting the seasonal slowing down of trade aud industry, Dun’s review says that “the uneven conditions that have prevailed for many weeks still ap pear, but there are more strong poipts and fewer unfavorable aspects ttfnn oooooooooooooooooooooooooc I Children Free ]|| CONCORD THEATRE |!| First Show Next Saturday > at 1:30 P.
