CORRECT ENGLISH.
BY Benz. V. Longdon.

Much attention is being given to the
teaching of correct grammar. Vari-
Gus newspapers and periodicals are
devoting much space to this much
needed instruction. Adults as well as
children have forgotten, or become
careless, and many have never taken
or had the opportunity to know how
to speak correctly. However, we have
learned that some sentences make
statements. others ask questions,
some give commands or make re-
quests, while others exclaim about
something. These sentences have
names according to their different
uses. Consult your grammar and
learn the definitions of the four diff
ferent kinds of sentences. And de-
eide whether each of the following
sentences is d~eclarative, interroga-
tive, imperative or explanatory and
! give your reason to some reader OF
the Sun. Mr.. Roscoe Jamison of St.
Joseph, Mo, will be the first Negro
poet to have q poem reproduced by
the Anthology of Magazine verse;
Have you thoght of the woeful neg.
lect of our youth today" do not
write back home that you have found
a land of plenty, place of equal rights
to all and finally return looking starv.

every second wife who desires to be
a better housekeeper than the former
wife, will come nearer being what he

France was the nation to introduce the

There are BELTS and many of them are

Chubby Discovers Friendliness
Friendliness that's unexpected
Is like sunshine by the way.
For 1t cheers the beavy-hearted
And makes bright the saddest day.

If you don't believe that just try II.
Just be friendly to some one who Is IN
need of friendliness and see what OH
ference it makes. Sometimes you Will
find that the very gruffest people are
really the most friendly. That is the
way it was with Prickly Porky the
Porcupine when he met Chubby, the
lost little Fox. Prickly Porkys S voice
was a grunt And certainly he was the
toughest looking fellow that ever was.
He was SO rough-looking that Chuoos
would have run away at the nrst
glimpse of him but for one thing-she
was too frightened to run.
But, despite his rough appearance
and his gruff. grunting voice. Prickly
Porky proved to be friendly. ana
friendliness was the one thing Chubby
needed Just then. She was afraid OF
this queer old fellow. but it was good
to be talked to and not at the same

TO CUT IT'S TRAIN SERVICE,
"Pennsy" Planning to Take Care Of
Increased Freight Traffic,

On the lines of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. east of Pittsburgh, the railroad man
agement expects to cut down the move
ment Of passenger trains by total of
about 5000 train-miles a day
Between New York and Washington an
unprecedented amount of passenger traf-
fic is now being handled With the pres
ent number of passenger trains it is inn
possible to operate some of them on the
freight tracks. Each train SO operated
monopolizes fifty miles or more of freight
track during its run. II by consolidating
two passenger trains one can be removed
from the freight track. that much line
has been gained for handling food freight,
now SO urgently being pressed for ship
ment from the south.
''As far as can now be foreseen. we
will be able to furnish substantially the
usual summer service to seashore and
other resort points. beginning July ~
says statement by the company. '.This
is because the lines reaching such points
for the most part, handle little freight
and do not seem likely to be needed ex-
tensively. in the near future. for military
purposes. Circumstances. of course, may
at any time alter and necessitate q
change Of our plans in this regard"

POSTAGE STAMP MIx-UP
BOON TO THE COLLECTORS
Intrusive "Fives" on Sheets OF
"Twos" Cause Run on Supply.
Printing Bureau Explains.

When you step up to a stamp window
and order six. eight or ten "twos'' the
clerk, you may have noticed, will tear
them from a perforated sheet.
Recently some folk have been sur
prised. after purchasing, to find in the
strip of two-cent stamps one bearing
the design and engraving of f1ve-cent
stamp, except that it was printed in
the red ink used on the two-cent va
riety.
Stamp collectors got busy. Keen
eyed postmasters scrutinized the large
sheets of stamps, and sent back to
Washington many of the sheets bear
ing the intrusive "fves"
This phenomenon scored a hit with
the stamp collectors. some of the un-
used sheets having sold for $50 each,
but an error was chalked up against
the bureau of engraving and printing.
For the sheets containing the '1ives''
in among the "twos" passed more than
a score of inspectors before the stamps
were put into circulation. The error
occurred because some of the five-cent
stamp dies got mixed with the two
cent stamp dies. 1t is the first time in
sixteen years that such an error has
been made by the bureau.
About $4,000 defective sheets were
printed. One Of the first sheets brought
$225 in Philadelphia.
