GREATEST OFFENDERS
Temperance Campaign to Accom-
pany Introduction Of Licensing
Measure in Parliament.
LONDON, December 20. 1s1

LONDON, December 20. 1913.
An organization which promises to
shake London's competency as the foun-
tain head of English as it should be
spoken has taken form at oxford under
the direction of the Poet Laureate Robert
Bridges, aided by such masters of English
as Thomas Hardy, DR.. Henry Bradley,
Sir Walter Raleigh and Professor John
W. MackaiY
While the objects OF the association
have not yet been fully defined, they
probably will include the publication of
literature, the delivery of lectures, at
tempts ultimately to influence the teach
ers over the whole country to aid in the
restoration of the purity of the language,
both written and spoken, and to resist
the unnecessary Incorporation of foreign
words. and to encourage the adoption in
polite speech of crisp. terse, vigorous
words from the dialects. The English
that Johnson spoke rather than the Eng
iiSh that Johnson wrote is the object
aimed at by the association. johnson
would have said rot but he would have
written 'putrefy.'.

Demand for License Reform.

temperance campaign as exciting as
that which accompanied the introduction
OF the licensing measure under the Lloyd
George budget is promised for the coming
season of parliament. A demand for d
licensing reform bill has been issued on
behalf of the United Kingdom Alliance by
its president, Left Jones, MP
The manifesto declares that 1.-The intro
duction next year of comprehensive
temperance measure into the house OF
commons would elicit such widespread
response and backing from the most vari-
Gus and unaccustomed quarters as would
astonish all who have not followed close
ly the sojdifying of opinion on the sub
Ject during recent years" The alliance
points out further that Lloyd George has
said that no reform, political or social.
Will avail in this country unless preceded
by temperance reform.
An act similar to the one demanded by
the alliance for England and Wales was
passed for Scotland at the last session
of parliament.

Says Words Are Mispronounced.

In a tract prepared for the English as
sociation Dr. Bridges declares that we
say 'neycher" for nature and that tune
is well on its way to become .'chiune''
a professor of English has been heard to
say audJins' for audience. An oxford
professor says 'cweshyun' for question,
and is sadly addicted to the word. The
younger generation say paving for
pouring. Fortunately the educated south
is learning that there is an III in wheel
and when. Ireland and Scotland never
forget ii.
Dr. Bridges concludes his tract as fol-
lows: "A Londoner will say that a Scotch
man talks strangely and ill: the truth is
that he himself is in the typical attitude
OF vulgar Ignorance in these matters. He
IS disposed to look down upon all that
he is unaccustomed to, and not knowing
the true distinctions, he esteems his own
degraded custom as correct"

Cotton Growing in Australia.

The dominions royal commission. which
has been visiting the various dominions
and has held meetings in London with q
view to improving the trade relations OF
the various parts of the empire. has con-
WINGED both the colonial office and the
British Cotton Growing Association that
there are prospects of cotton being grown
in northern Australia at. a profit.
The commission made extensive in
quirfes with regard to the possibilities OF
Australia as a cotton-producing country,
and In its report says the members were
much impressed with the natural advan-
tages of the northern part of the CONT
nent The commission got promise from
the commonwealth government to assist
in any attempt to develop the industry.
and now the colonial office and the Cot
ton Growing Association have promised
financial assistance. in order that skilled
advice may be procured and practical eX-
periments made with various types OF
seed.
The association which aims at securing
enough cotton within the empire to make

May Change Olympic Rules.
In spite of the lack Of interest in the
Duke of Westminster's Olympic games
fund, the liveliest interest is being shown
here in the International congress which
will be held in Paris next June to pro.
mulgate code of uniform regulations
for the games.
1t is understood that the English dele
cation will make several important pro-
posals to the congress. among the most
radical being a suggestion that womer
be included among the competitors
Other matters to be brought before the
| congress will be the question Of the re
| striction of entries, a minimum age fol
competitors, and whether distinction
should be made between sports indis
pensable for the Oiympiad and those

admitted.

where the games are being held shall
not be given an unfair advantage b,
giving undue prominence to the games il
which that country excels. The technica
