A super.Word.

The recent vogue Of the word "some"
as an adjective, in a sense for which
there is absolutely no synonym in The
dictionary, has been the despair of
many parent and pedagogue "The
language is being pauperized," they
cry. Nonsense. Il would be nearer
the mark TO say II Is being vitaized.
Watch a healthy schoolboy when he
tells you he bas just come from
some" ball game, and you will per-
ceive that the offending word has
ceased to be mere linguistic sign and
has become a kinetic current within
The body, a movement of the spirit.
Some word, 1t! A true super-word, In
fact. Philosophize on it-and on the
kindred subject Of slang-and you may
discover why, when mans vocabu-
larry begins to expand, his powers Of
expression are generally on the wane.

CURB STOCK GAMBLING
BY THOSE ON INSIDE.
Baruch TO PUT Stop On Using Conf
dental Information OF Price
Fixing.

Washington, July a. $780, Stock gam
bling by insiders, who use their con-
fidential information on the price
fixing activities of the war industries
board, is to be curbed by the board.
Chairman Bernard Baruch made this
plain at his conference with news
paper men today.
The policy of the price fixing COM
mittee of the board in withholding
its schedules Of new prices until sub
mitted to the president has been a
storm center for months.
In fixing such prices. and they
range from iron and steel, ores, and
copper to cotton prints, it has been
the committees custom to hear dele
cations from the national organiza-
ton of the manufacturing industries
involved. The dele cations have sat
with the committee and practically as
part of it. They have offered fig
ures on the cost OF production, and
conditions OF the trAde, and when
In every instance known what the
new prices were to be.
The price fixing has,
however, in every instance. withheld
announcement until after the sched-
uie has been submitted TO the presi>
dent and approved by him. which is
usually from three days to two weeks
later.
1t has beer repeatedly charged to
the board that the representatives OF
the trade present at their meetings
have at once burned the wires TO New
York to their houses advising them
Of the new schedules so that they
might make any market turns that
would profit them before the formal
announcement.
1t Is expected that after each ses-
sion in the future the committee
would announce just what had been
done.
