Struggling with the Language.

A story is told of German teacher
at an American girls college who was
not thoroughly acquainted with the
English language and the college slang
had not helped her in solving the puz-
zle. She had heard the girls talk about
going off on larks. Returning one day
from a picnic she said to some Of the
girls, "Oh, | have been on such ca
nary" She startled her class one day
by complaining against some of the
COS. days of September, saying: "Why,
it was so cold one day had to stay in
my room all the morning and sit with
my feet over the transom trying to
keep warm"

The July disbursements for dividends and

gate of over three-quarters Of million of
dollars. This amount does not represent
the entire sum that is paid out on this ac-
count, as in number of instances neither
the interest nor the dividend period falls
on the first of July. Neither does 1t repre-
sent one-half of the entire disbursements
from this source, for the reason that the
periods vary with different companies some
making such payments quarterly and others

NATIONAL GUARDS STATUS

and titled officers of the staff.
The Governor has not yet an
nounced who will be the new briga-
der generals who are to command the

general impression is that Colonel
John A. Roster will be placed in COM
msnd of the First, with headquarters
in San Francisco. and Colonel Robert

ond, with headquarters in Los Ange-

Now that honors are being distrib-

to have a member of the guard in
San Francisco, who has held high
rank in the organization. appointed
commander temporarily of the Second
Brigade. so he may be placed on the

title Of brigadier general. The plans
have been laid, but it remains to be
