LETTERS TO EDITOR
Certainly Not "Peeyed,

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 It is delight to know that my good friend, c. F. Orr is interested in word study, even though it leads him to smile at my use of the word "aggravatedr' What if I smile at his use of the word ''peeved," @ which 1 cannot find in my Webster and which no self-respecting dic- tionary maker would admit
 Webster's pleasant habit of listing synonyms produces these as the equiva- Tents of "aggravate in its acknowledged rses: 'Heighten, intensity, increase, mag nifty, exaggerate, provoke. irritate. ex- asperate." He also considers the original meaning to have been ito make heavy or heavier" It is true that Webster reclons my use of the word colloquial, while I hold that 1t Is as proper as that which Mr. Orr thinks exclusively correct, and that my use is implied in the etymology, and is quite as right as the word 'aggrieved, ' a close parallel.
 But '.peeved2 Oh, no, Not even peev- ish: only aggravated; just little pro- voked. GEORGE EAVES Birmingham. November 10. 1915

DOLLY TELLS A "GOOD ONE" ON THAT HUSBAND WHO
 'SWIPES" MORNING PAPER
By DOLLY pALRrMrLE

Of course this story may hit a lot of perfectly good husbands, hard and straight between the eyes, but if they be- long to the variety that ''swipes'' the morning paper and reads it on the way downtown, and. won't let 'wee-wife-y'' have so much as a peep at the adver- tisements, or the social columns, then they ought to be chit
 All this discussion recently about these nice, sweet considerate @ husbands who do this sort of thing, has spread far and wide, and even the '.kiddies" have become interested in it; at least l know of one little fellow who has.
 To very prominent and well known home on the South Highlands we must go for our little hero of this story
 The youngster it seems, has heard nothing for ages past except big family row every morning at the breakfast table about his father taking The Age-Herald downtown, and his poor, dear, sweet mother having nothing to read
 Recently the youngster has been reading something about such things himself in the paper, and after knowing more about the situation, he promptly sided with his mother and voted his father very selfish, unkind, inconsiderate person to behave like that

 Dr. Losey read from Ibsen's Ghosts and added to his laurels as an exponent of the drama Members of the league were particularly pleased that Ghosts should have been the subject for the aft ernoon and that a man of Dr. Losey's talent had been chosen to handle the subject. The ballroom was filled to ca : pacity to hear the reading, even the gal leries having every seat occupied.

The fight waxed fast and furious, it appears, until the other day the poor lit- tie boy thought for certain that his par ents had come to the parting of their ways
 In this frame of mind the youngster went downtown late in the afternoon with some of his little friends and stroll ing about one of the principal thorough fares, who should he meet but his dad" who kindly gave the crowd an invitation to have an ice cream soda with him.
 It is useless to say that the Riddles" accepted at once, and as they drew their chairs about the table. MT. Host asked them in turn what they'd have
 Some took one thing. and some an- other and finally a pretty little pink checked girl said cutely;
 'Ill take a chocolate nut sundaea'
 MT. Host just here turned to his small son and asked him what he'd have
 The little fellow looking up wistfully, first at his father and then at the boy who was waiting to take his order, said:
 I-er-er-think I'll take an Age-Herald, dad, so I can take it home to poor mamma, cause you always take the paper away from her and she never has anything to read"

NEGRO ADJUDGED
 INSANE BY JURY Edward Crosby Will Be Sent to Asylum for Killing
 Cooper Pollard

Not guilty by reason of insanity was negro, charged with the murder of Cooper Pollard, tried yesterday in the first di- vision of the criminal court before Judge w. k. Fort.
 The evidence developed the fact that the defendant was suffering from religious mania and that for sometime prior to the killing had been acting queerly
 The murder of Pollard was particularly brutal. as he was shot while lying on a cot in his own house at East Birming- ham by the defendant. who fired two shots without warning through the win dow, each shot taking effect. The defend- ant was placed on the stand and from the rambling nature of his testimony the jury concluded he was irresponsible when he fired the fatal shots, a conclusion con- cured in by Judge Fort, who stated that most consumate actor he had ever seen.
 Evidence for the defense was brought out that the defendant was under the im- pression that the deceased had mis- treated his sister. which was ascribed as the motive for the crime. The defendant testified that he was continually sur rounded by spirits and that he was com pelled to do their bidding He admitted the shooting, but denied that he shot Pollard. Evidence was introduced to the effect that the defendant had stated ti<t Pollard had only two weeks to live and that he killing occurred about that length of time after the statement was made
 The jury was not long in arriving at a verdict, one of these Jurors stating that they had no doubt as to his guilt, nor any doubt as to his insanity. Judge Fort ordered the negro held in the custody of the sheriff pending an order to commit him to the state insane asylum

M'GUGIN UNABLE TO
 FIND NEW FULLBACK
Encouragement Spreads Over Vandy CampCohen Reye Will Be Out of Line -Up-Fnal Practice Will
 Be Held Today

Nashville, November 10.--(Special) Coach Daniel McGugin of Vanderbilt is looking for the man who said that all good things come to him who waits. The Vandy pilot has not only waited for but has gone out and diligently sought a full back to fill the shoes of Hubert Wiggs, and is just as far from finding an avail able candidate as he was when he started the quest.
 The loss of the sturdy fulback has completely upset the team and not even the promise of developing a successor to Wiggs has appeared to steady the dis couragement which has swept over the Varsity.
 The sluggish nature of the signal drills is explained by the coaches as a species of demoralization. resulting from the com plete upheaval in the line and back field which they have been unable to shake off, in spite of three days strenuous drilling. Tomorrow the Vanderbilterl will
