Polish Names.
From the London News.

rrolo Inc LonuoH news.
The Polish campaign suffers under
the disadvantage of Astounding in
names of places which cannot easily be
pronounced and remembered. This dis
advantage is not remedied by the fact
that in the bulletins transmitted from
Russia the Polish way of spelling is
very often discarded in favor of the
Russian, which, being based on an
alphabet different from the Polish, pro-
ceeds on purely phonetic principles.
For instance the Polish "Kalisz' be-
comes the Russian 'kalish' and the
Polish "SzcZerkow' becomes the Rus
sian "Shtcherkov." Thus the reader
often meets with what appear to be
denote in reality the same place.
In the above example ''Szczerkow"
will appeal to most readers as an al
most grotesque succession of conso-
nants hardly to be attempted by a NOR
tai tongue. What they represent. how
ever, is this: "SZ" is pronounced 'Sh,"
and CT is the equivalent OF Itch
tas in 'Tchay aykovsky"). In addition the
that formidable name reads 'Sh-tcher-
kov." The reader will then also under
stand why "Kalisz' is phonetIcaIly
equivalent to "Kalish." and "czeusto-
latter name it is also necessary to-
bear in mind that the Polish "ch" (likes
the. corresponding Germany is pro-
nounced in the Scottish .Loch.".
Hence "Czenstochow' will be pSo-
nounced ''Tchenstokhov." l.-sS
Again, a stumbling block for the cpntc
mon reader is the Polish &C" This,let-,
ter is always pronounced It's" whetiuT.
it stands before a soft or a hard vowel
even a consonant. Thus "Kieloe,i,.
"Pilica and "Plock" are respectively.

The Way to Teach Girls.


The indirect method and the concrete
example are the most effective ways to
teach. The girls canning clubs, or
ganiZed throughout the south by the
general education board cooperating
with the federal department of Agri-
culture. have not only taught thousands
have indirectly opened the eyes of as
many mothers to he p. -sibilities of
home system and home developme nj,
and have eXerted strong and helpful
social influences on hundreds of farm
ing communities. The method has been
to assign TO each girl joining can
ming club one-tenth of an acre, and
to plant, cultivate and perfect the
growth of the tomato plant. When
the tomatoes are ripe. the girls meet
first at one home, then at another. to
can the product. Everything is done
in the most up-to-date style. and the
girls are taught the necessity of scru-
pulous cleanliness and sterilization.
Canning club Cay becomes an oc-
casion of social Importance in which
indirectly the clubs have helped to
awaken community social spirit.
There has been financial profit. as well
as practical instruction and social
pleasure. The average profit made by
girls reporting in twelve states was
s21.9S. In the four years the canning
vlubs have been in operation the num-
10000. and the appropriation of the
general education board has advanced
from 10000 to $4,000. the board has

The Perilous Horse.

From the Detroit News.
Statistics from Washington do what
statistics SO often have done-compel
us to reform a prejudice. The great
foot -faring public has come to look
upon automobiles owned and driven
by other persons as responsible for
heavy mortality. Last year 2.4SS per-
sons met death from automobile acct-
dents; 1921 fatalities were caused by
horses and mules.
Man can hold his head in an en-
ergency; horses and mules seldom do.
A horse, however Intelligent, cannot
be imbued with the safety-first idea
A fiuttering piece of paper may send
the cleverest horse headlong over a
precipice. A few motorists sometimes
sacrifice their sense of Judgment and
discretion; the majority have a high
regard for their own necks and for the
necks of others.
1t might be added that seldom, if
ever, does an automobile rear up and
crumple it's owner in his garage.

back salmon on the Maine coast, ac-

to seven and half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river, Me-
and twenty were captured alive by
agents of the bureau near Bangor and
held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs.
From two of these fish 5000 eggs were
taken September 6, and, after fertili-

cry for incubation. Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers, and an

down stream in a spent condition; at
