1t is little wonder that foreigners de-
epair of learning to speak our LANGUAGE.
One of the greatest difficulties is the
way in which the same syllable sounds
have often very different meanings.
"You'll get run in" said the pedes-
TRAN to the automobilist without q
light on his vehicle.
"You'll get run into," responded the
automobilist, as he pushed the starting
lever hard over, knocked the other
down and ran up his spine.
''You'll get run in, too, said the
policeman, as he stepped from behind a
tree and grabbed the reckless driver be-
fore he could get away.
Just then another scorcher came
along, without his initials on his vehi-
Gle, SO the policeman had to run in two.
