OUR BEAUTIFUL
ENGLISH LANGUAGE

CFrom the Savannah, Ga, News.)
Judge Hough of the criminal branch
OF the United States circuit court in
New York has recently won golden
opinions for himself by a ruling re-
lating to unwarranted use of the Uni
ted States mails. But one of the
things that puzzles the average per-
son is, how is the name of the honor
able judge to be pronounced? Is the
name of Judge Hough to be rhymed
with hoe or hun, or how" or
thorough" or something else? The
rules of the language offer no assis-
lance in this delema. We have
trough, plough, and enough and some
few more words OF the same ending
all pronounced differently and mean
ing any number of things. 1t is there
fore impossible to say whether Judge
Hough is Judge Who" or Judge
HUH or Judge How, or Judge
IIo."
