HERE ARE TONGUE -TWlSTERs
Great Difficulty Is Frequently Expert
eneed In Pronouncing a Certain
Succession Of Words.

Whether a certain succession words
Is difficult to pronounce or not, largely
| depends upon the rate at which they
, are uttered. A lecturer recently had
] great difficulty with a sentence in
which he described how two sayages
who had been converted fell tooth and
nail upon images OF their ancient
heatnen gods. thus totally repudi-
atlng their two tutelary deities." II
ne had spoken more deliberately. he
would not have had so much trouble
getting past the concluding words. A
poet once went and stood by the sea
shore, and imagined that in the quiet
hush OF the twilight hour the sea
oade him a lingering farewell. But
the line IN which he expressed his
poetic imagination Is practically i'm
possible TO read aloud rapidly:
The sea ceaseth and dismisseth us
with his blessing"
This line. as Lowell said OF a line
OF Matthew Arnold's about Shake
speare, Kisses like an angry gander.
II makes such an awkward collocation
or words as Shave a cedar shingle
thin" seem comparatively easy to
say.
Ii is not always a hard saying"
that involves the speaker in confusion.
He may trip up on comparatively
simple. easy words. The story is told
Of the young actor who was promoted
from a notwithstanding waits
part TO impersOnate a nobleman. He
was very nervous over his new dig

peared on the stage whether he had
brought any luggage. he was supposed

rug" What he said was: Only two
rags and a bug"
A clergyman intending TO refer 10

f nder was perhaps a politician who
addressed woman suffrage gonveD-

Money and hapnIness.

1t is not the mere accumulation OF
money that hurts men 1t is the sacri-
fees they are willing 10 make for

themselves TO unwholesome selfgrati-
ffcation; to become walking appetites !:

on July 30th, and the final figures
are hard to estimate at this time.
Conjurers are busy, however, i8ur-
ing out how many votes will be nee
essary to win, but it is no use, as you
can not tell. Spend your time work
inc, not figuring, as no one can have
the remotest idea until the final can
vass is completed.
JUST WORK.
Exhilarating in its intense excite
ment, interesting in the extreme, the
contestants work, arduous, eager ex-
pectant.
The stories that have emanated
from some unknown source are more
or less exaggerated, but the contest
ants are urged to place no credence
in them whatever. If certain one
has several thousand votes held in
reserve she is not going to tell you OF
it. So be on your guard all the time.
Say nothing-just work.
A WORD OF CAUTION.
Don't stop to think-just work.
The coming week may be the one in
which you can win the prize. You
can rest after it is all over-rest and
feel better for having won,
A WORD TO THE WISE is SUFFICIENT.
Now is a good time to begin ON
that reserve that you need for July,
60. You know that it is going to
take a big vote to win-in fact a
much larger one than you thought
when you entered the contest. You
know there is no time like now to do
anything, so do it today.

ed has escaped that Interrogation

Seemingly all days look alike to a

Perhaps it is because the time

tor will claim the spoils.
But the winner won't claim that
big prize without a vast amount OF
activity, remarked one of the candl-
dates Wednesday, she will have to
90 some, and all the way to win.
A greater display of energetic WORK

CLUB MAY
JOIN NATIONAL BODY
Depends Upon Decision to Permit
Local Organization to Use
Pistols When Desired

The annual election Of the Los An
geles Revolver club will be held on the
evening of May 1. AT that time will
be considered the desirability of affil-
iation with the national organization.
According to the by laws of the ma
tional club, pistols are not allowed in
the contests. and it is probable that
the local club will oppose this, as the
members do not think that enough
contests could be secured locally TO
warrant the maintenance of a full
team of revolver experts. A goodly
number of the members also are fol-
lowers of the pistol game and the cut
ting out of this branch of sport would
deprive a great number of the pleas
ure of participating in their favorite
pastime.
The decision of the club has been
sent to national headquarters and an
answer is expected before the annual
meeting AS many of the clubs in the
west are in favor of giving permission
for the use of both weapons in the
shoots it is more than likely that the
decision will be favorable and that the
local club will become a member OF
the national organization.

WOMAN ESTABLISHES
RECORDAT MOTORDROME
Mrs. Phil Lyon Drives Buick 40
at Rate of Close to go
Miles an Hour

Another worlds record was made last
Sunday morning at the motordrome
track which, while it will not appear
on the books of the three LAS" never
theless was made. .,,
w. d. NeWerf loaned the Buick 40
racing car to Nick Nikrent for the pur-
pose of permitting Mrs. Phil H. Lyon
trying the car on the new track. With
Nkrent as her mechanician. the fair
driver took her seat at the wheel as
unconcernedly as though sitting down
to a o'clock tea, seized the throttle,
placed her dainty toes on the Gluten
and away sped the 1eetest car of It's
class that ever crossed the boards, for
the Buick had already broken the
worlds record for ten miles on the
same track Mrs. Lyon drove the car
for three miles and it may be believed
that she had the machine going wide
open when three of the miles were
reeled off at the rate of 46 seconds, and
one mile in AZ seconds. When the run
was completed Mrs. Lyon stepped down
from the handsome racer, cool and
collected and pleased, of course, with
the knowledge that shee was the only
woman on earth who had ever driven
a mile going at the rate of close to
ninety miles per hour She handled the
car like a veteran and in a style that
would make some of the cracks take
lessons

OXY SURPRISES BY
DEFEATING LAWYERS
Snappy Game Furnished, but Col
Iege Dope Proves Bad in
Furnishing Winner

once more the dope" of college fans
was scattered to the winds and the
chances of the national game proven
too strong for those who wish to fore
cast the result of the intercollegiate
series. Oxy took the U. S. c. lawyers
into camp by a margin score on their
own field yesterday afternoon. Oxy' 3;
U. S. C. Law, 2.
The field was in excellent condition
for snappy game and although the
spectacular was noticeably absent, the
game was clean and interesting Fat
terson was given another tryout on
the home field, but the nerve he lost
during Oxy's spring tour seems to have
been slow in recovery. AS the lawyers
began to hit little too often, the Zig
ers' homes were on the tobboggan, for
with Patterson out, the sole slab artist
in the Presbyterian lineup was LOCK-
wood, and the Pomona game was TOO
near for risks.
Captain Lyle McKenney remembered
he had tossed the horsehide in his
younger days and assumed the center
hill. Oxy settled down, with her cap
tain at the helm, and succeeded In an
nexing a couple of tokens in the last
inning, which won the game.
Although not one of the regular IN
tercolIegiate series, the game is inter-
esting in that it invites a comparison
between the local colleges, as the law
yers have defeated the U. S. G. varsity
and in turn been defeated by. the
Claremonters.
Doyle and Maddox were the U. S. S.
law battery and Fred Johnson received
the ball for the Tigers.
The Occidental team will be in much
better shape than ever before when
they line up against the Pomona vars
ity Monday afternoon on the Baer
field. 1t being the first game with the
Claremonters, the Presbyterians will
play their best for a chance to get
the lead on the sagebrush team. A raj
ly has been held at the college and
a good sized band of rooters are plan
ming to attend the game. Lockwood
ana Johnson will be the battery part
of the lineup for the local team
