OF the thing, we are confronted with
the phenomenon that virtually all the
people In the world are engaged in the
eternal amusement OF sloughlng off
their inherited and familiar language
and learning to speak another. No

hundred years. Slang is sweet In all
mouths, because 1t Is new. By and by
slang becomes idlom; people weary OF
II because It is traditional, and adopt
new phrases. The English In this re-
spect are quite as bad as we; you shall
hear "cinch" spoken OF any day in
Oxford or Cambridge or Belgravia.

GOOD FIELD TO WORK

The brilliancy of the yellow in the
vacant lots along the street sides sug-
gests the dandelion as good subject
upon which the Civic Improvement
league might spend little Of its en-
ergy to good advantage. 1t is said on
good authority that a solution of blue
vitriol will kill the pest without injury
to grass or other plant life, and it
might be good investment for the
league to procure supply of the solu.
ton and employ men to spray the
street sides and the lots. 1t might
give spirit to private parties who
have been laboring to eradicate the
dandelion from their premises every
year, but have found it difficult to
compete with the seed blown from the
vacant lots in their vicinity.

near the hospital, for fear the patients
might be disturbed, and a license was
