WORLD STRIKE

London. Jan. 18s-Over the
head of the shipping trade OF the
United Kingdom, and indeed. OF In
ternational shipping interests says
the London Globe, hangs the Da-
noclean sword of a world strike.
"The aim is to paralyze the com
meree of the world by a general IN
Iernational strike, as agreed unon at
the Copenhagen Congress OF the
International transportation Work
ers' Association, held in August.
That resolution set forth the deter
mination of the mems leaders TO
onduct a general strike because OF
he refusal of the owners to. discuss
the proposals OF the seamen's unions

Cancellation board 1t was added

men at any port to suit the cOnven-
fence OF shipownefs, asserting that
the men should be paid of at the
port at which they signed on. The
practice, 1t Is asserted. leaves the
men stranded In a foreign port with
out means to get home and leaves
them no mean of redress against
their employers.
THE men admit that the Shipping
Act effected a great improvement in
the state Of diet but complain that
there are no provisions for enforc-

following communication to present:
Upon my arrival at the factory
was informed that I'VE had a bad

tempts were mnc by Central tele-
phone operator to get In communi-
cation with the factory to blow the
alarm, Central reporting that, while
the system vas In proper order, the
engineer does not answer, etc, etc.
the insinuation being that the engi-
neer was asleep while on duty.
After being acquainted with the
above, / promptly got In touch with
the manager Of the telephone com
pany. who in due course reported az
follows: Upon sending a lineman
out in the morning, we found that
the trouble was caused by crossed
wires, thus forming a short circuit
under these circumstances 1t was I'M
possible for the alarm bell in the en-.

T. D. Waring Writes on In

The following communication
from Tracy ID. Waring, on the study.
OF spelling is of interest in eonnee-
tion with the recent discussion of
this subject In these columns:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Your editorial on spelling" bears
out the prevailing impression that
orthogranhy is not now so well
taught In our schools as 1t was when
the "grown-ups" were young. At
least 1t Ii generally conceded thai the
graduates of eur schools do not ac-
uuire that accuracy In spelling which
We have been accustomed to expect
a. q mark of education and of cul-
ture.
One d commonly assigned for
this is that the modern way of teach
ing Is not so helpful in acquiring
spelling as was the older method.
This may be true, but whether the
advantages OF the newer method do
not, on the whole, outweigh It's ad-
vantages, as compared with the old,
Is a question which should hnally
rest with the experts In touch with
the werk OF teaching to decide.
Another cause that may be named
for the disregard of good form In
spelling. among the graduates and In
the higher grades of the schools, Is
the ever increasing requirements IN
other studies which the ever broad
ening Of the field of knowledge de-
mands, or at least appears to de-
mand, so that spelling is neglected
In the interest Of other acquire
ments Perhaps a greater proper
ton OF time should be devoted to the
study of spelling and of punctuation
= than Ii at present the case, but q
more satisfactory and reasonable so
luton OF the problem would be to
adopt, II possible, such a method al
would make the art of spelling more
Easy to learn.
How can this be done?
The question of poor spelling Is ar
old one. Here is an extract from q
letter written to Benjamin Frank
lin by his sister:
"Pray forgive the very bad spell
Ing, and every other defect, and
don't let 1t mortify you that such
scraw1 came from your sister.
And here Is Franklin's answer:
You need not be concerned In
writing to me about your bad spell
Tag. for In my opinion, as u alpha

Ii zcalled so. is generally the best, as
CONFIRMING to the sound of the let

Benjamin Franklin was q wise

simplicity, ahead OF his W times,
