but I should rather pronounce it like
a sailor if could. "E-lec-tric-i-ty" is
also called "el-ec-tric-ity," which
isn't much Of difference; but whether
you say "humor" or "umor" and
humble" or tumble" depends upon
the side of the ocean on which you
were born.
You may be "de-co-rous" or dec.
o-rous" in your conduct, and the die
tionaries will give you equal praise.
You may apostrophize the moon
either as DIANA" or Diana" she
won't notice the difference, though
your friends may. You may say that
a proposition is "dis-pu-ta-ble or dis
put-a-ble," according as you find one
or the other the easier to speak. You
may talk Of Orchestral" or of or
ches-tral" music (making the ch
sound like k, of course), and if any
body objects you can get dictionary
to back you up.
These are only a few out Of vast
number of words that are unsettled
in pronunciation. If the persons who
are busy inAicting upon us some Of
the new spellings that don't spell
would organize an American Acad-
emy Of Orthoepy, they might be bet
ter employed.

Need Fired System for Pronunciation of English

, own children. 1t causes distraction
of thought, for if you hear a speaker
pronounce word in "a way that
strikes you as odd, or incorrect, your
attention is diverted from the subject
under discussion.
1t causes great loss of time and
mental energy and produces a feel
ing OF uncertainty, for when you look
up a word in your dictionary and
find that several varying pronuncia-
tons are offered, you must devote
time and thought to the making of a
choice, and after you have made your
choice, the next person you talk with
or the next speaker you listen to may
upset the judgment on which the
choice was based.
Difficulties of this kind will always.
necessarily, attach to newly coined
words, but it is inexcusable that words
whose meaning everybody knows
should not have perfectly settled
pronunciation.
As | write | turn to the list of dis
puted pronunciations in the back part
of a huge dictionary, and | find that
the word "quinine" has seven different
forms and shades Of pronunciation.
This is encouraging for anybody who
wants to ask for it in a drug store.
There are two distinct ways to say
dilemma" which is a good way to
leave the inquirer in one. There are
five ways to say "comrade," besides
the way they say. it between the
trench lines. There is patriot
and patriot" each as good as the
other.
An "a-ris-to-crat" is sometimes an
"ar-is-to-crat," which doesn't improve
him. You may eat an apricot or
an apricot" and get the same taste.
Four ways are Disseminated for pro-
nouncing "beautious," but give them
all up and stick to my own way.
If you ever get any yenison (and
for my part | don't want any, you
can pronounce it with three syllables
or leave the middle one out. If you
think "smouch' is too strong a word,
you can soften it by calling it
"smooch"-but beware Of spelling it
that way. Acoustics" may be turned
into "acowstics," which is certainly
more suggestive Of believing. A Ca
pom" cannot be told from "cap-on"
when it is on the table. Some pro-
nounce "bowsprit" bo-sprit and bow.
sprit-at least so say the dictionaries,

North Presbyterian Is
Now Nearly Out of Debt

At the annual congregational meet
ing of the North Presbyterian church
Wednesday night following a supper
served by women, the 1917 meeting
was held. The report of the treas
urer showed a reduction of $500 in
the church building debt during the
last year. This leaves an indebted
ness of $1,000, the only outstanding
obligation. The church property is
estimated to be worth $4,000.
The annual budget to meet current
expenses was increased from $4,000
to $4,000. The greater portion Of the
increase was for music and janitor's
salary. AS members of the board OF
elders Robert McEachron, John
Trench, Harry Herzog and G. c. Wal
ters were selected
On the board of trustees James
Allen was elected to succeed himself
and Dean Dawson, Jack Brengle and
Al Gordon to fill the vacancies caused
by expiration of terms of other
trustees.

KugeI Discovers Butter
Has Started to Ascend

City Commissioner Kugel did not
know butter had advanced until he
scanned bill for butter sent by a
local firm to the city smallpox hos
pitaL The item showed 46 cents a
pound, which aroused the commits
sioner's interest.
Whats this1" he asked the health
commissioner.
That's. for butter at 46 cents a
pound" was the reply. g.
1--WE get butter at our house for IS
or 81 cents a pound" rejoined the
commissioner.
"You don't get better butter for
that price," answered the health COM
missioner.
Mr.. Kugel telephoned and learned
that his butter at home costs AZ cents
pound at present. He subsidized.

By GARRETT p. SERVISS.

There is a reform affecting the
language which Americans speak that
is of far greater importance and use
fulness than simplifed spelling. 1t is
the establishment OF uniform sys-
tenn OF pronunciation. There are hun
dreds of words that we use every day
which nobody really knows how to
pronounce, because he can find no
universally recognized authority to
guide him.
1t is hopeless to turn to the great
dictionaries, with their "omnium
gatherums" of words and pictures.
They give you two or three contra
dictory forms, and then, not content
with that amount of mystihcation, ap-
pend a long list of disputed pro-
nunciations," with the suggestive ear
mark XIII, which is about as COM
forting to the perplexed wanderer in
the misty mid-region of orthoepy
pronounce the word correctly is you
can) as a tangled swamp is to a man
already lost in the woods.
The dictionaries do not improve the
matter by offering preferred pro-
nunciations, because no two diction-
aries agree in their preferences. and
if every man followed uncompromis-
ingly only his own favorite dictionary
we should be nearly as bad off as were
the people around the Tower Of Babel
when smitten with a Confusion Of
tongues"
The schools do not help, because
some teachers range themselves un-
der one banner, others under a Sec
ond, others under a third, while many
boldly raise the black flag OF orth-
oepical piracy, to which | confess |
myself have an inclination, for if no
man can obey two masters much less
can he obey a dozen!-
The situation is not merely ridicu-
lous; it is very injurious. 1t dam
ages the language itself. 1t renders
the language more difficult OF acquire
ment by foreigners, as we'll as by our

The hills and valleys Of the coun-

with camps Of Boy Scouts and other

leaves Florence and enters the wood
ed Hill slopes he finds signs of mill

Omaha or even the United tSates gov

The largest and most advanced
