The Dipkthonq.

Answering the question. why was
the Giphthong devised and why has it
disappeared from general use?' the
New York Sun says
A diphthong Is any two vowes that
come together In the spelling Of word.
Diphthongs were not deliberately de
vised any more than English spelling
was deliberately invented. They have
not disappeared from general use ex.
cept In few instances. In proper
diphthong' the sounds OF both yowels
are retained though merged In one syl
liable, as in noise" An Improper
diphthong' is one in which the sound
Of only one Of the vowels is heard.
"Eo" in people IS an Illustration. Such
changes as have been made In dlph-
thongs have aimed at keeping the VOW
ell sounded. That IS why some prefer
to write "maneuver'' in place of INA.

WAR LIBRARY WEEK.

The war library work is progress
ing finely, according to all reports.
In Massachusetts the slogan found
in many store windows and on pos.
tiers on public buildings was "A mil
lion dollars for million books for
a million men," The most attractive
appeal in Boston seemed to be the
khaki-clad figures placed in front Of
book stands or seated comfortably
with books in their hands. Other
communities in other states are work
ing just as hard and just as effec-
lively.
Every one who knows anything
about it tells us that the soldiers
wants lots to read First and fore,
most they want letters from their
families and friends. Then they
want good books and plenty of them.
Magazines and newspapers from home
are great prizes and give more JOY
than we can realize. with our well
supplied library tables and news
stands on every important corner
Getting reading material to our
men at the front is something that
every citizen can take an interest in
and help to accomplish. It's a big
work and an important work that
should be pushed hard during library
week, and continued through the war
