VULGAR. EXPPETIvEs NOT
 NECESSARILY PROFANE

Burgess Johnson, author, has been lecturing to the students of a fem mist seminary and chose for his top ic "The Everyday Profanity of Our Best People,
 Profanity is a word which itself has been outrageously profaned, as is drolly made evident by Mr. John son when he calls such expressions as "gosh," "golly" jimmy" "gee- whiz," "by love" and many others profane which are merely explosives or explosives to relieve the surcharg- ed mind, both profound and super ficial. They are slangy, they are vulgar, they are really derivatives from the larger oaths which have harsh savor of irreverence and sacrilege, and in that sense they are .orofane. Any degradation of a lan- guage may properly be called pro- fanation of it.
 But what would ordinary and ex- Fraordlnary humans have been if they had not possessed the .'gosh. , the "golly,' the sgeewlliz" and the rest of m almost infinite vocabul- ary? With the masses and the class es these have been safety valves. and lacking them the profanity might have leaped all limitations to revel in 'good round mouth-filling paths" instead of those of the ging- erbread flavor.
 They do not think of these as pro- fanity, and it is a fact that most who indulge in supreme irreverence attach no sacrilegious meaning to their silly and vain, but it is an i'm memorial habit, hard to eradicate- Pittsburgh Dispatch.

CHARLEY OLSON IS
 REPORTED DROW NED
ACCIDENT HAPPENED TESTER DAY EVENING WHILE ON
 GEORGE B.

Dave Broderious, q former busi- ness man of Ketchikan who has been fishing of late. returned today and reports the drowning of Charley ol- son.
 Mr. Broderious says thaE Olson and himself left some ten days ago and had been engaged in trolling along Chomley Sound, near Casina Point until last evening when the ac- cident occurred. During the after noon, they were out trolling in their respective boats and had left their power boat, the George B, anchored some sixty feet from shore, as it was customary. About an hour be- fore quitting time, Olson left the fishing ground in order to prepare the dir CT. When Mr. Broderious arrived, there was nobody aboard. He called to his friends Fred Hayes, Ed. Erdin and another, who had been
 A
 trolling close by, to know if they had seen Olson. Together they searched the waters in the vicinity, but found no sign of the missing man, and as he failed to return this morning, the ycame to town to make their report
 MT. Broderious believes that he presumably went to the stern of the boat wl-ele the kept their kindling and in treek.ns some, fell overheard. That is the only way he can account for his disappearance.
 Charley Olson was of Swedish parentage, but is not known to have any relatives in this country He is well known and well thought of by all who knew him.
