Iowa City, la., Nov. 2.?Incorrect speech and slang are to be the subjects of a nation-wide campaign by women's clubs and schools of the country, according to Prof. Glenn N. Merry, head of the department of speech of the University of Iowa and chairman of the joint commit.ee of the National Council of Teachers of Enerlish. the National Association of Teachers of Speech and the General federation of Women's Clubs, which are instituting the better speech movement. "Women's clubs will attack incorrect speech the next week," he said. "Schools will take up the attack the third week in February. In both instances the action will be concerted throughout the country and will b an effort to erase the bad features of our language." The committee recognizes, Professor Merry said, that our language is not fixed and dead, but living and subject to constant change; that two general standards ofusage exist, good English and vulgar English, and that the usage by the educated classes should set the standard of American speech. "The policy of the committee, is determined by a broad ideal of avoiding purism, fadism and artificial speech on one hand and vulgarism on the other," he said. "Distinctiveness of utterance and agreeable voFe qualitv are achievements in speech worthy of cultivation." Cracker Jack Writes We are having some pretty days.

Annual Motor Pilgrimage to South Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 5.?Somecody in Maine or Minnnesota discovered a few years ago that he could load his family into the family flivvee and drive to Florida for the winter at ,.n expense about equal to the rail road fare for one person. Now motor cars, from the quiet running sedan to the rattling, banging flivver with frying pans, lanterns, eoft'ee pots, buckets and other utensils attached all over them from radiators to spare tire racks, descend d upon Florida in droves bearing the vanguard of the thousands of tourists who motor to the peninsular in the fall from all parts of the union. The movement is not expected to be in full swing before the middle ??f November, but for weeks they have been trickling through the gateways and by October 15 it was estimated that during the daylight hours ona tourist car was crossing the border over the three main highways every fifteen minutes. Some of the vehicles include contraptions never before seen on four wheels. One favored by many of the travelers is a chassis with a one room house upon it, equipped with everything from stationary wasH basin to rocking chairs. The flivver with camping equipment suspended from every possible pr,rt of the car to which a bit of wire I or cord can be attached, is the most I common long distance traveler. A I "hn v burner" lanter. one of the va riot iea usually seen about farmhouses, may be attached to the radiator cap. Under the car may be swinging two or three water bucket?, each filled with cooking utensils or other articles. A frying pan may be attached to a door handle and the running boards usually are weighed dov, n with baggage and the inevi| tab'c small tent that may be erected within a few minutes when the tou. ist finds a likely place to stop for the night. Every city and town in Florida along the motor routes within the last few years has established a camp site, and in the case of 1 hose on the outskirts of the larger places, are equipped with electric lights, water mains and sewerage. ' Every camp site now is under the supervision o fthe State Board of He* 1th and one sanitary engineer de! votes his entire time during the winter to the inspection of them. idden at Work : for you?you are the loser, nd in every business?the : is at work constantly for their business. in ou* Savings Department, rn?

It takes Imagination to produce enter talnlng blunders of this sort, as any school teacher will tell you." Here are two related by a Cleveland teacher.
