RUSSIAN PRONUNCIATION.
Some General Rules Which Will HGlp
Some When Reading About
the War News.

Numerous correspondents have asked
for information as to the pronunciation
of the names which figure in the war
news. 1t would be impossible, says the
New York Tribune, in any brief COM
lass, to give satisfactory rules for pro-
nunciation of Russian names. General
iy speaking, the vowels are sounded as
follows: "a" as in far "e" as in
met ii" as in machine" 20" as in
tone" ''u" as in rude" Initial 90
often has the sound OF "a; u
hus "Orloff" is sounded as though
-pelled ''Arloff. An "e' in a
final syllable often has the sound Of ''yo'
n yoke" so that "pravezh" is spoken
as though spelled "pravyozh." The con-
onants have much the sar;e force as in
Inglish-"ch" as in church, "sh' as
n wish" 'kh" as "ch" in the German
''ich, II" as "v," final ~ as "ss." So
Jar as Japanese, Chinese and Korean
lames al concerned. simpler rules pre-
vail In We original the names are not
spelled at all, but are expressed with
aord signs. In English, therefore, they
nave been expressed theoretically. They
re therefore to be pronounced as
hey are spelled. Many Of them have al
'ernative spellings, but these need cause
10 uncertainty as to the pronunciation,
ince the various spellings all express
he same sounds. Thus Chefoo is also
spelled Chifu. But we need only to re-
member that the 81" in the latter form
has the continental sound of long Sc"
70 perceive that both forms are sounded
the same, as though spelled Cheefoo So
Kinchow is also spelled Kinchau. But
the latter is German form and in Ger
man "au'' is sounded like low" in Eng
ish.

UNINTENTloNAL SOUVENIRS
Guests Mistake Costs Hostess Fine
Set OF Spoons Given Her for
Wedding Prcssnt.

Considerable quiet laughter has been
going on among the guests at lunch
ecn given by a young West Philadelphia
bride the other day to the attendants at
her wedding, says the philadelphia
Press. There had been among the
hostess presents at the time of her mar
riage a particularly beautiful set OF
spoons, and while ste had NO occasion
to Use them at this particular lunchoon.
she thought that she would put one be :
side each cover for--well, just for in
stance.
Unfortunately, however, there was one
stranger in the merry little company
which sat down about the table-a
pretty, outspoken, somewhat "gushy"
young woman from the west. And it was
she who caused all the trouble.
AS the luncheon neared its end. and It
became apparent that the spoons were
not for use, she kept eyeing the one at
her place, and finally she burst forth
with this fash of inspiration:
& These spoons-what perfectly lovely
souvenirs!"
The chorus of praise was immediately
taken up by all about the board. The
confused hostess found explanation i'm
possible. and every guest went awav
from the house with one of those pre-
ciots spoons.

NATURAL ICE is PASSING.

Article.

For several years past the business
of the icemanl of former days has been
decreasing steadily, and at the present
rate ere long he will find his occupa-
ton gone. 1t is no longer necessary to
wait for cold weather to secure a sup
ply of the refrigerating product; it can

In the state of Maine, where, in for
mer years, the harvesting Of ice for

carried to enormous proportions, the
total quantity cut during last winter,
which embraced perfect conditions for
securing a large crop, was but 485, 900
tons, against 100000 tons gathered in
the winter of 1923.

Woman additionally classed.

The state constitutions of Wyoming,
Colorado, ldho and Utah make no dis
elimination against sex. Women are
citizens and vote on equal terms with
men. All other state constitutions
make individious distinctions. The
majority classify women, idiots, Grim
mails and untaxed Italians in the cate
CORY of the disfranchised. This official
brand of inferiority reflects on the
moral tone of the nation. Politics.
the religion of onr national life-is a
synonym for corruption aud vice. The
morality and purity which women could
infuse into public affairs is denied on
the most illogical of pretexts, while the
naturalized foreign felon is admitted
to participate in citizenship.
So lightly do we hold the claims of
men from the standpoint of fitness to
govern, that in fourteen states a
foreigner, knowing nothing of our in
stitutions or principles, can vote ION
intention of being naturalized, even
though he has just landed on our
shores. The American born woman,
with line of American ancestors, is
superseded by these alien hordes.
That one-half of the people of the
nation should be dominated by the
other half, upon no better credentials

Very few people are entirely free

many aches and pains follow. A john

cry kidney i'll can be relieved and
cured Read about it:
Officer |. NJ. Wilsrn says: IL have
for long time been a sufferer from
backache and other kidney disorders.
For the most of the time the symptoms
consisted of dull aching pain in the
small of my back, very noticeable
whenever stopped or bend over, and
If took slight cold it always settled
in my back and kidneys, increasing
the pain. Doan's Kidney Pills came
to my notice and I got Ia box at the store
Of Patton Drug Co. They did their
work well and the good effects were
soon apparent. 1t was only short

certain cure for Group. Whooping
cough is not dangerous when this rem
edy is given. 1t contains no opium or
other harmful substance and may be
given as confidently to baby as to an
adult. 1t is also pleasant to take.
When all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not surprising that
people in foreign lands, as well as at
home, esteem this remeky very highly
and very few are willing to take any
other after having once used it. For
