'WHERE WORDS START (Boston Transcript) Our mention the other day of a new portmanteau word, '"'guessti- mate," has caught a number of persons to write us. One calls our attention to the compound heading, "Giraffrica," in a current maga- ine, over an article on huntnhg the giraffe in Africa, Another corres- pondent informs us that many of our common words are probably compounds, instancing the follow= ing: Grumble from growl and rum- ble. Flaunt from flout and vaunt, Scurry from scour and hurry, Boost . from boom and holst, Dang from damn and hang, We print these examples for what they are worth, Word sharps may differ with our correspondent or they may not, One mixture that we are sure of is Lewis Carroll's "chortle," which is a telescoping of 'chuckle' and "snort."

Burgess( recently of Toronto and now of London, a Provincial Govern- ment steam boiler inspector. Burgess was the principal in the fourth epi- sode of the swift melodrama staged across Western Ontario by the two armed thugs, who began heir Jeign of terror with the robbery of Greer ,a druggist in ay SER A theft of his Auburn car. With the same car they drove to Windsor and there evaded arrest early this morn- ing by kidnapping Policeman Hugh on disarming him and taking him on a forced ride to Windsor City limits. - Dropping Colquhoun, they raced toward London, and at § o'clock this morning abandoned the Auburn car hetween Lambeth and Delaware ,ten miles west of this city, and commondeered a new Dodge be- ing driven home from the factory by Lloyd McClure ,an employee of a Chatham garage. Under the cover of guns of the men, McClure re- traced his path on a wild 50-mile ride through London to Princeton, east of Woodstock. Burgess Tells Story I was driving from London on my way to inspect a hoiler in Galt," Bur- gess told The Globe, "and reached Suicide Crossing of the CN.R. and Provincial Highway No. 2, near Princeton, just a few minutes before 8 o'clock. 1 noticed a new car with an 'in transit' liccnse on the wind- shield, parked at the side of the road quite close to the crossing. As I was about to pass, this car darted at right angles across my path, but overran, and I was able to swerve and pass on to its right, I stopped a couple of car lengths ahead, when one of the men came up to where I held the door open. I saw that he looked like a tough character, and as he pulled a revolver I tried to close the door, He held it open and covered me with the gun, but I grasped the barrel and turned it_away from me. While we struggled, another man left the standing car and, coming up, tried to strike at me to make me release my hold on the gun, McClure Escap:» J.

"My wife had urged me to take our police dog, Rajan, a fifteen- months-old thoroughbred, along, and he rode with me in the back seat. As the men snatched the revolver away from me, I called to Rajah, 'Get him.' Rajah jumped the seat, probably playfully, for he is young and not yet trained, but the men stepped back clear of the door and I stepped on the car and raced away from them. As I startedone of the men, the stouter one, fired point-blank at me. When I got out of the car at the Paris Police Station, 20 minutes later, the .38-calibre bullet fell out of the folds of my overcoat. Had the re- yolver been more powerful or had not the soa been lying in several loose folds would unquestionably have been badly wounded.

M Woodstock, April 20--Some time between 5.30 and 6 o'clock 'this morn- ing Lloyd McClure of Chatham, who was proceeding east with a new Dodge car in transit, was stopped near Lambeth on the highway and forced into the ditch by two men in another car. These men told him to sit over and, pushing a gun into his ribs, told him that they did not want his money, but merely him and the car, and ordered him to drive them on, The party proceeded through and Woodstock, passing through this city about 7.10, At the Creditville Railway crossing they pulled across the road Bb front of another car driven by R.

A second shot was fired, which missed him entirely and on shooting again they broke the windshield of his car, Mr .Burgess tried to wrest the gun away from them, and failing to do so he called on his police dog, which was with him, and the dog held the men back while he got into the car and drove away, the dog then jump- ing in beside him.

The authorities conducted a search, but they could not find any trace of the men. Constable Is Kidnapped Windsor, April 20--Two armed men at 1 o'clock this morning point= ed a pistol at the head of Constable Hugh Colquhoun, and, after driving him a mile out into the country, took away his revolver, extracted the cartridges, handed the officer back his useless weapon, and then ejected him from the automobile, forcing him to walk back to town. The men used a car which they had been reported stolen mn Toronto, the machine being found in a ditch near London several hours later. The kidnapping of Colquhoun was the result of the policeman's failure to "handle the situation properly," according to Chief of Police Wigle. The officer at 1.30 o'clock this morn- ing saw a car answering the descrip- tion of the one used in the Greer hold-up at Toronto on Thursday night. He halted it at Moy avenue and Wyandotte street, stepped into the rear seat to drive to Police Head. quarters. As they were about to pull up at the station, Colquhoun turned his head to direct the driver where to park, Pistol Pushed Into Back Instantly he felt a pistol poked into his back and heard the order to "keep quiet or be killed" The men drove him out the Provincial highway, be- vond the city limits, where one of them removed the offcer"s gun from its holster, ejected the cartridges and then handed back the weapon. Then, after Colquhoun had inform ed them concerning thie out-of-town rdutes, he was ordered out of the auto and the thugs drove eastward at a fast clip, n BABY MANNEQUINS ("Town Talker" in Westminster Gazette) Our children get more and more sophisca'ed, During the last two days a dress parade for bahies by lt WHI I.
