By L. L. STEVENSON
Ira Vail, former star auto race
driver, was recalling old times.
Among his memories is one of sail
ing through a barbed wire fence,
which practically denuded him. and
landing in the ample lap of a fat
lady. He came to before the wom
an who acted as a cushion recov
ered her poise, and was bundled
hurriedly into an ambulance. In
the mad dash to the hospital, he
was ten times more scared than he
ever had been in a race! Such in
cidents were not uncommon in tha
lives of racing drivers of former
days and were looked on as "fun
ny." rather than grim. Vail chuck
led when he recalled how Louis Dis
brow, after a spill, had been carted
to the morgue just as good as dead,
only to sit up on his slab and throw
the attendants into confusion by de
manding a cigarette. Then there
was Ralph De Palma whose car
careened otT a New England track.
He was picked up with a cornstalk
through his stomach and was
thought to be fatally injured. But
he married his nurse.
• • •
Ivy Overholtzer, of Los Angeles,
has the most novel combination
around race tracks, Vail believes.
He operates an undertaking estab
lishment and turns his hearse into
an ambulance merely by changing
the signs. He's a great pal of the
drivers.
"People have asked me many
times what makes a man become
a racing driver,” Vail said. “I
think the best answer is a crack
made by one of the boys—‘you don't
have to be crazy but it helps.' ”
* * m
This doesn’t concern Vail or other
race drivers but it seems to fit in
at this particular point. An out of
town couple was enjoying a ride
through Central park in one of those
throw-backs to old days that have
their stand near the Plaza—a horse
and carriage. The passengers no
ticed that the driver called his
horse Frank and finally asked him
what had caused him to give his
animal such a name.
"You see,” replied the driver,
flicking the animal’s ear lightly
with the whiplash, “my best
friend’s name was Frank.”
• * •
Bob Hope, who played in vaude
ville theaters all over the country
before appearing in the “Follies”
and other B’way musicals, believes
that the present generation has for
gotten that form of entertainment.
Says Hope;
“The young folks of today think
that ‘next-to-closing’ is a bank
ruptcy sale, that a ‘sketch’ is a
drawing and, for all they know, the
‘Two Black Crows’ were a couple
of birds that stole corn from farm
ers. They think a 'pit musician'
is a guy who plays in a mine and
when they hear the expression
‘working in one,’ they ask, ‘One
what?’ To them ‘bow music’ is
what comes from a violin and they
believe that only a sheriff can ‘stop
the show.’ The only ‘acts’ they
know about are those passed by
congress and to them a ‘double’ is
a horse parlay.”

Speaking of terms, it seems that
swing music, now so popular, has a
lexicon of its own. For the follow
ing glossary I'm indebted to John
L. Gould in the Herald-Tribune:
“Jamster,” improviser on the mel
ody against a rhythmic united
front; “swing,” the art of jamming;
“jitterbug,” swing fan; “digit
truckin’,” the art of manipulating
an instrument; “long underwear
gang,” stooges of the old-fashioned
crooner; “laid it in the groove,” got
hot, went to town; “spank the
skin,” play the drum; “licks,” hot
bars; “gang o’ horn,” plenty of
trumpet; “long-haired,” old-fash
ioned; “growl,” trumpet in agony;
“iron horn,” trumpet; “corn-fed
stuff,” what the Pilgrims danced to.

Oh yes, on Great Lakes vessels,
the meal gong is known as the
“hash hammer.”

Subway eavesdropping: “Say, he
stretches things so that if he was
taking the ferry to Staten island
he’d tell you he was going on
a ’round the world cruise.”

Clac'c Art T.!an Known as
“Dylkun" to East Indians
Thai almost good American word,
•‘hoodoo," Is of African origin
Froia It “voodoo" was evolved, anj
the voodooisin of Africa and the
West Indies is closely relaled to
the "black magic" of the Hast In
dies and Malaya. At least, the
prime object of both is to "put a
hoodoo' on an enemy or a rival in
love, writes a Batavia, Java, cor
respondent in the Chicago Tribune.
in Java and other Fast Indies
the practitioner of the black art is
known as a dnktin. A Dnkun, man
or woman. Is believed by mi lives
to combine all the eerie and weird
powers of a witch, sorcerer, demon
ologlst, and voodoo priest. The
superstitions natives do not doubt
that a dnkun has the ability to
summon the devil and evil spirits
to do his bidding.
When the death of on enemy or
an.v person against whom a grudge .
Is held Is desired, the aid of a du
kun Is sought. After payment of
a fee. dependent upon the wealth
and position of the client, tbe du
kun makes a small image of the
victim in clay. Then, with prayers
and incantations, much ceremony
and hocus-pocus, he pierces the
image in tbe region of the heart or
stomach with a needle or sharp in
strument, buries (lie clay Image in
some carefully chosen spot, and
within n week or a month the ob
ject of Ids professional activities
dies of some affliction of the or
gan presumed to be pierced.
Belong to Whitefish Family
* Ichthyologists tell us that ciscos
belong to the whitefish family. They
greatly resemble the “lake her
ring" that makes up a considerable
part of the commercial haul from
tile Great Lakes. Since the fish
found In Lake Geneva and some
of the northern Indiana lakes dif
fers somewhat from the lake her
ring, the name "cisco" is especially
fitting. Believed to be of Indian
origin, it is distinctive and not
likely to be confused with any oth
er. The cisco, usually caught In
water over 50 feet in depth, on
headllke lures, passes the early win
ter and summer in the deepest
parts of lakes. It moves Into shal
lower water during the spring,
while searching for food, and also
during the fall spawning season.
U. S. Treasury Conscience Fund
The United States treasury con
science fund was opened with a
contribution of $5 in 1811. Money
received for this fund is not car
ried on tlie books of the Treasury
department as such, but is listed
ns miscellaneous receipts. The
amounts sent in range from 2 cents
from a person who failed to put a
stamp on a letter when mailed, to
several thousand dollars from per
sons who smuggled goods into the
United States without paying im
port duty. No special use' is made
of the money. It simply goes Into
the general funds of the depart
ment.

England, Spain Followed
Indian’s Style of Pipes
While tlie English adopted the
pipe of the North American Indian,
die Spaniards followed the practice
of the Caribbean Islanders nnd
South American Indians. This was
to roll the tobacco in leaves of
cabbage or corn to form a cigar,
according to a writer In Hie Chica
go Tribune. Cigarnr was the Span
ish word meaning to roll. Cigar,
came to signify a roll of tobacco
leaves. Continental Europe, except
Spain, preferred snuff ns did the
Scots.
The elgarct developed In Spain.
Taper served ns the enveloping ma
terial, probably because of the Inch
nf suitable leaves.
The (irst pipes were makeshifts—
sometimes merely a reed or straw
Inserted In a walnut shell. Then
followed small pipes of Iron, sil
ver, brass, or carved wood, yield
ing only a few puffs to each till
ing. The clay pipe early became
popular in England nnd held favor
till about 80 years ago. when the
briar entne Into use.
Itrlar pipps are not made of briar.
The name Is a corruption of the
bruyere or white heath shrub, a na
tive of soul hern Europe nnd Al
geria.
College* of Colonial Time*
The colleges established in Colo
nial times were primarily for the
training of the clergy. Tn New Eng
land the Puritans founded Harvard
in 1636 nnd Yale In 1701. In New
York, King’s college (now Colum
bia) was founded by the Church of
England in 1754. The College of
New Jersey (1746), which later de
veloped Into Princeton university,
was a Presbyterian institution. At
Williamsburg, Vn„ the College of
William nnd Mary (1693), the sec
ond college to be established In the
English colonies, represented the
Church of England.
