5000 ATTEND CONTESTS.

Little Rock, May 3.-Fully 5000 in
terested persons attended the IL con-
tests in the fifth annual meet of the
Inter-School Contests Association, con-
Quoted yesterday, and this morning
at the high school auditorium, the
Hotel Marion and the Argenta high
school, Surprising even the highest
hopes of the members of the executive
board who have worked tirelessly to
make the meet a success, the attend
ance yesterday marked a record that
never has been equaled. In the opin-
ion of tn board members it will not be
surpassed for several years.
Perhaps the most interesting of the
contests for the day was the series
given at the high school auditorium
last night, which included the high
school quartets, the high school de-
bate and the college debate. The audi
ence was the largest that yet has at
tended any of the contests. The high
school reading contest, Section B, held
at the Argenta high school, attracted
large number and the success of the
entertainment filled the board mem
bers with gratitude for the manner in
which the meet was supported. During
the afternoon several of the contests
were staged at the convention hall in
the Hotel Marion, and while the at
tendance was not so large as at some
of the others, the entertainment pro-
vided was highly satisfactory.
Great interest prevails among the
several hundred contestants from all
portions of the state, who eagerly are
awaiting the decisions of the judges,
which will be announced at the high
school auditorium tonight. Following
the announcement of the decisions, the
medals and loving cups and the schol-
arships at Crescent College will be
awarded.

CHARM HARD TO ANALYZE
Its Presence Easily Felt, but Descrip-
ton viii Be Found a Thing
Of Some Difficulty.

Over half of our American girls
work. They stand behind counters.
bend over machines, sit at desks, and
march, militant figures, in the process
sion of industries that seem to block
the road to girlish grace and light
heartedness and freedom from care.
One woman who has worked among
and written books about and found
inspiration in the working girl says
that charm sometimes drifts down.
unawares, a thing ephemeral, a gift
of the gods to the girl who has had to
work so hard that she has had no
time to think about her lack Of
beauty.
81 wish I knew wherein charm lies:
but I don't know, although I've stud
led 1t and tried TO analyze II as much
as most folks have, I suspect. In
books, in pictures, in people, in places.
I've met many, many kinds OF charm;
but I've never been able to say just
what 1t was that charmed me. Ger
tainly 1t was never mere beauty, nor
mere intelligence, nor mere cheerful
ness, nor mere kindness. I've seen
beauty that bored. and listened to
cleverness that repealed. and met with
cheerfulness that was inane and with
kindness that was exasperating.
Charm is a gift Of the gods, and it
cannot be wooed like fame, nor won
like money, nor bought like titles, nor
developed like patience, nor seized
like a prize o. war. If 1t comes, 1t
comes; and II it's thought on too
much, it flies away. And there's an
end on t"-Mother's Magazine

How We ApportIon Our Time.

Lord Kuntsbord, whose sudden i'll

Peter Plymley" once made an elab-
crate calculation as to the way people
apportion their time in the course of
a long life.
When he was seventy-two he re-
marked to a girl he met, do you
ever reflect how you pass your life!
If you live to be my age. which |
hope you may, your life is passed in
the following manner: An hour a day
is three years. This makes 81 years

years at table, six years playing with

SOME COM mon ERRORS
WORDS THAT THE AVERAGE PER-
SON WILL MISPRoNOUNcE
A Little Study All That Is Needed to
Convince Most of Us That Our
Conversation is by No Means
Likely to Be FIawIess.

Are either and neither pronounced
eether" and "neether" or "eyether"
and "neyther?" This question, much
disputed, is answered in favor of
"eether" and "neether'' by Julian w.
Alternately. Not single modern die
tionary gives "eyether'' the prefer
ence, says his little book, and goes
on to quote Richard Grant White,
who says "eyether" is an affectation
and a second rate British affectation
at that. Which should hold the
"eyether" advocates a while.
And now about the word vase. It's
pronounced "vace," whether it comes
from the 10-cent store or Tiffany's.
"Vaze" is wrong. says the book. and
"vawz" is vulgar. Another tally for
us old-fashioned folks.
Perhaps you've been confused by
hearing people talk about rice" and
finding out afterward that they meant
the noun rise" Well, they were
wrong. too. A straw vote of the best
modern dictionaries hands the prefer
ence to "rize" as the proper pronoun-
citation.
Another word that Is frequently
mispronounced is depot. 1t should be
"deepo," not "deppo" or "daypo."
Our old friend, Jean Vatican, OF
course, Is properly "Zhan Valzhan,"
and the great state Of Kansas Is pro-
nounced as though the first were a
z. The folks who insist on making 1t
soft are all to the bad
J. Pierpont Morgan is a "finnan-
seer" not a "fynanseer."
The Renaissance Is pronounced
"renesans," accent on the last sylla-
ble not Renaysans, and Salome gets
her last syllable pronounced.
Poets are filed with the divine "af-
flaytus," not the divine "afflaatus."
The ruler Of Japan is the mikado,
with the accent on the second sylla-
BILE, as all serious minded students of
Gilbert and Sullivan know, and never
the mickadoo.
Gibberish is pronounced with hard
z. and not "jibberish," and the word
faced is "Haksid," nor "flasid."
Amateur Is "amaturr," not anna
toor" or "amachoor"
The Antipodes-Australia you
know-are pronounced "antipodeez."
When the wind soughs through the
branches it "sows" never SUITS"
A faucet is a "fawsett," not "fas-
set
These are only few examples.
The book contains two thousand
words, which are commonly mispro-
nounced. and eight hundred proper
names, which are frequently improp-
erly spoken. A little study Of it will
enable you to bawl out almost any Of
your friends frequently, besides tend
ing to improve your own vocabulary.
Careless and slipshod enunciation
among presumably cultivated people"
the author says, lis probably more
common in the United States than in
any other country in the world. A
Frenchman is proud Of his speech and
treats it as fine art, while an Amer
lean regards his speech with 1ndif-
ference or contempt"

ONE CENT RATE TO
REUNION OFFERED

Adjutant R. A. Reynolds was ad-
vised over the telephone late yesterday
afternoon that the railroads had de-
cided to offer a through rate of one
cent per mile each way to the Con-
federate reunion at Chattanooga, May
1929. Up to yesterday the rate an
nounced was two cents mile to Mem
phis and one cent from Memphis to
Chattanooga. The reduction makes a
difference of about SO in the round
trip fare from Conway, which will
now be $1,000. A special car of
Faulkner county veterans will leave
Conway for Chattanooga on May 25.
