In justice to myself I find 1 cannot
read all the Interesting things In the
newspapers. The editors and report*

the moving pictures, the radio, but I
have my living to earn, so I must cut

compelled to cut down on smoking,
liquor, society, and other of the more

heard later that Irvin Cobb, who pre

toast master that he received a hun

considered Rupert Hughes so notable
a man he invited him to speak. .Mr.
Hughes had lately written - ! candid
life of George Washington, and In his
introduction the toast master said:
"We have with us this evening a gen-

A large number of experts In edu
cation lately met in convention and
made over the English grammar. The
decision of a considerable majority
was that to make your meaning clear
la the secret of good punctuation, good
usage, good speech and good writing.
Acft^fdlng to these learned men It Ut
all right to say "all right," and the
speaker who dares to say "pretty
good" Is pretty good. The. old quarrel
between “farther" and '‘further" ends
In a draw; neither word Is further
away from correctness than the other.
"Nice" Is welcomed to nice linguistic
society. So Is "folks." So Is “Loan
me a pencil.* It Is proper now Ho
make a date" and "to taxi" to the
spot. We are told that a preposition
Is a perfectly proper word to end a
sentence with. We are advised that
we may split the Infinitive all we
like If our object in doing so Is to
more clearly express our meaning.
Arid we may open our sentences with
conjunctions. The writer who has
spent a lifetime In learning to be nice
and refined In his technique will won

old and difficult distinctions between
"shall" and "wlM" jare no longer Im
portant The copy reader who for
years hals patiently changed "provid

'T will go; providing he stays," will
find to his sorrow that* he has wasted
his time. An old-fashioned rhetorician

ment from his sabbatical year will find
ent kinds of animals, several new

called Ice ages, which extended over

Why the cave should have served
Airplanes and Elephants
Annoyance at.the nolse-of airplane
motors that have recently invaded
their territory is given as one of the*
reasons for, the noticeable unrest
among African elephant herds of late
by Capt. R. J. D. Salmon, says the
Detroit News. Even trained animals

really Indifferent to the sound of
gasoline engines, he states, and he
. believes It unlikely, that the herds

browse peacefully as the'airmail

^ The most significant result Of the
unrest now apparent among the AfrT
can wild elephant herds is that many
of the animals are leaving their fa
miliar haunts along the east Nile to
seek new feeding grounds to the
north aqd south of this area.
Pest That Bids Fair
lb Exterminate Itself
One of the chief pests of Porto
Rico Is a large leaf-eating vyeevtl
knotrn locally as the “vaqutfa." It
normally lays Its eggs between two
leaves, thereafter sticking the leaves
together, to protect the eggs, with a
mucilage so tough that the llttte
weevils when ready tp emerge, often
have difficulty escaping from their
nests.
Dr. George N. Wolcott of the Porto
Rico Insular experiment station re-,
centty announced, according to Sci
ence Service, that the beetle likes
laying Its eggs between two sheets
of paper, and will do so when paper

by their parents. This method of
