Abused SuperIatives.

1t is hard to make people understand
that the adjective almost invariably
weakens the noun, and that the word
very" for instance, does not strength
en- statement, but qualities it. A
good example might be taken from the
August communications of our presi-
dent, who weakens the word ''sincere"
by saying livery sincere" But the use
Of the superlative is even more abused.
We talk Of the 'unimpeachable" hon
esty Of somebody or other, knowing
perfectly well that anybody's honesty
may be impeached. What seems to be
required is readjustment Of our hab-
it's Of thought, and better teaching of
the value Of words and even of the
usefulness of grammar. A superlative
necessarily involves an axiom. 1t COM
mits you, like saying that the sum of
the angles Of any triangle is equal to
two right angles. Your dilemma arises
when you try to prove it. ''Impregna-
bility" and ''invulnerability," and all
the other superlatives in such general
use are posing as axioms when they
are. mostly fallacies.-Wall Street
Journal.

ready witnessed it, and that 1t has
already run to capacity attendance
for half of a year in the simultan-
eous productions of New York,
Chicago and Boston, prove that the
biggest claims in its behalf are justi-
fled by the popular verdict. Despite
opposition at various times, it should
be added, "The Birth of Nation"
has been passed by censor boards
everywhere; upheld, when attacked,
by decisions of courts Of record,
endorsed by a greater number OF
prominent men in all walks of life,
including priests and ministers, than
any other entertainment ever offer
ed to the public. In brief, it has
rallied to its support all friends of
free art and rebuked those whose
bigotry would surprise the re-enact-
ment of the Reconstruction story.

7 Helps Y
SITE SHOULD FIT THE HOME
Remember When Making Plans
to Build the House.

Most of the suburbanites who are
saving to build house-the sort they
have dreamed Of possessing-sive so
much attention to the actual plans of
the dwelling that they do not stop to
think at all of the vast importance
Of the houses setting.
There are joys and profits in site
hunting, and the average home-builder
who is willing to content himself with
the first strip Of land in desirable
neighborhood with which his real-es-
tate dealer confronts him never
guesses.
Obviously, the average suburban lot
is the fiat, treeless. so by 1OO," on
which, of course, there is little posi-
BILE latitude in building. The house
must be oblong and stand on one Of its
ends about in the center Of the lot,
with an inconsequential margin on
either side Of green in front and rear.
There are interminable streets Of these
in every suburb.
But in every suburb also there are
odd corners that have been passed by
as unsuitable. Like the neglected
creed beds in the farmers fields, they
are generally in odd shapes and wood
ed. the hand of the 'imprOver' hav-
ing passed them as hopeless. In ru-
raj districts where land is rated by its
cultivatable area, these are literally
waste and can often be bought for
very little.
One of the least-apprecfated kind of
sites for home is the gully or draw.
Everywhere among the hills there are
places where the waters have cut out
a bed to the rocks and stream
splashes swiftly downward among the
trees.
If you have a definite plan for your
house in mind before you have an idea
for the site, you should seek your site
to fit the home. A chateau would be
out of place where bungalow cottage
would be wholly at ease. A barn might
be badly misplaced on the ideal site
for farmhouse. Your house, as has
been said, is the chief element in your
composition.

TO RAISE HUGE SUM FOR RE-
LIEF OF JEWISH WAR
SUFFERERS

Morgan City and Berwick, will in
all probability, again this year 90
their part toward war contributions.
Last year thu the efforts of some of
the Ladies of this city and Berwick,
a neat sum Of money was raised for
the war sufferers in the old country.
New Orleans started the ball rolling
Thursday night when $4S,500 was
raised for the Jewish war sufferers.
Ten millions of dollars will be re-
quired this year, to relieve those
multitudes who are on the point of
starvation in the war stricken coun-
try. This fund must necessarily be
raiser before June the first. julius
Rosenwald, President Of the Sears
Roebuck Co. Of Chicago yesterday
wired the Relief Society of New
York a conditional offer of one
million dollars to feed and clothe
Jewish war sufferers. Yesterday a
nation wide campaign was started
that will reach every nook and cor
ner of the country. Galveston has
come to the front today in announc-
ing that from this time on to the end
of the struggling war the sum of one
thousand dollars per month would be
sent to the relief committee, that
city has contributed in the past two
years twenty thousand dollars. Last
year the Jews in America contribut-
ed $5,OOO,000. for the relief of their
coreligionists abroad. This year
double the amount must be collected
and even then the misery will be un-
utterable. The longer the war lasts
the more horrible conditions grow.
Equal charities are being successful
~ secured for the relief of other
nationalities. Many millions Of dol
lars have been contributed from the
United States for this worthy cause
in the past two years. America IA
her usual philanthrophic way is send
ing ship loads of supplies to the suf-
ferers of the old country, and not
outstanding the pending uncertain
ty of conditions of our own, the
Good Old U. s. A. will no doubt con-
tinue her generously in order to
alleviate the sufferings of her fei-
lowmen across the pond.

SCORES OF VACANT
LOTS TO BE GARDENS

With the approach of springtime,
practically the entire male population
of Hood River may be found partici-
pating in the cultivation of vacant lots
and back yard gardens. Some of the
householders are reclaiming from the
sod bits of their formerly handsomely
kept lawns and bluegrass this year
will give way to orderly rows of on
ions, spinach, beans and cucumbers.
Others have spaded up the sides of city
streets on which traffic is but occa-
sional. The vacant lots that will be
cultivated this season may be counted
by the scores. A number of such plots
of ground covered with virginia. shrub
berry and the marring remains of last
years growth of noxious weeds are
being cleared by ambitious merchants
and professional men.
The wholesale undertaking of the
amateur gardeners has alarmed City
Water Superintendent Price, who de-
clares that the city water system may
be taxed to the limit to supply irriga-
tion water.
I'VE will have water plenty" says
Mr.. Price, "if a strict system of in
spection is inaugurated. But we will
have to cease wasting our water re-
sources. Heretofore we have wasted
as much as or more water than we
have used. Faucets have been left
running and leaking valves have al
lowed much of our water to run to
waste. Such practices will not be
tolerated the coming season."

DUCKWALL HAS A
NARROW ESCAPE

John C. Duckwall, an 0dell orchard
list, and Munroe Parks, a man en-
ployed by Mr.. Duckwall, miraculously
escaped possible serious injury or death
last week when pine tree, AZ inches
in diameter, was uprooted by a pre-
vailing gale. The men were engaged
in saving up the trunk of fallen tree
when they were attracted by the snap.
ping of roots of the windblown pine.
Mr.. Duckwall shouted warning and
both men, the tree already falling di-
rectly toward them, barely had time to
reach place of safety. Smaller
branches whipped their bodies.
The trunk of the tree fell across the
length of log they had almost finished
severing and broke it from the main
trunk. But for a smaller fir tree,
which DETECTED it, the big pine up.
rooted by the wind, would have crushed
in little cabin in which Mr.. Duckwall
had stored boxes of blasting powder
and dynamite caps.
