Launch Better Speech Week
. 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."

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.

Take a walk down Ley den

of the beat dwellings in the chief residential
section of the town (Plymouth),
back in 1021 and 1022. Imagine
what the Interior would be like on a
winter day with only one fireplace
harnessed to a chimney which needed
a woodlot to feed It, but was a fine
ventilator. Consider what the furnishings

several generations to the time of your
great grandmother who used a smaller
fireplace to do her cooking, or else
had a brick oven Instead of a Dutch
kitchen or bake kettle for her bread

were?well, primitive to say the least.
Tes, and she used candles dipped at
home and made her soap in the backyard,
the sort which took off dirt all
right and seemed to carry along cuticle

SEES LACK OF IMAGINATION
Cleveland Writer Thinks Blunder* of
School Children Are Less
Funny Than They Were.
"It doesn't seem to me," says the
Cleveland observer. "tlyst the blunders
school children make nowadays are aa
funny as they used to be. And this
as the sociologist will tell you, argues
that the school children haven't the
Imagination they used to have. 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. To the question, "What do
you know about George Washington?"
a ten-year-old replied, "George hit the
tree wiui nis naicnei an an rattier
Red, who dun It, an' George sed, 1
dun It, nnd his father sed, enny Araer (
lean boy can get to be Pree'dent, an'
he did."
The other question was, "Who was
Commodore Perry T This was the
answer: "He was out on the lake (
lighting an* he said, we have meet the
eunymy an' then they turned him into
stone."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. I

"Dead Nebulas." I
There has been photographed a
most singular object In the constellation
Taurus, the appearance of which I
suggests the term "dead nebula." It <
Is a long, straggling mass, which I
seems to shut out the stars behind It.
All round It the stars are strewn
thickly, but within Its boundaries I
rery few appear and It Is suggested >
that these may lie on this side of It. I
At one point there Is a small, bright
nehnla, which gradually fades out.
The feebler portions of the nebula (
would almost suggest that a large t
nebula exists here, but that the major c
portion of It la dead or non-luminous. I
In some places the dark object Is
manifestly darker than the starless .
parts of the sky around it.?Washing- ]
