Threatened by DISTURBANCES.
The Northwest's coal supply again
Is seriously menaced by the labor stu
alton at the Head Of the Lakes, Di-
rector Hugo y. Koch Of the Federal
employment service in Minnesota
having been notified that 400 dock
workers have threatened to strike late
today. y
These men include both skilled and
unskilled workers at Duluth and SUI
perior where a shortage of men to
handle coal from the docks into cars
already has seriously delayed the dis
tribution Of coal in this territory. :,
The ultinatum announced to the
dock operators today Is that unless an
award from the-War Labor Board in
creastng+ wages approximately 10
cents an. hour Is received late today,
the strike WI. be called.
"A recent ruling Of the War Labor
Board gave classified skilled dock
workers twelve hours pay Tor ten
hours work and the operators offered
to apply this basds to unskilled labor.
The award was not satisfactory and
the skilled WORKERS demanded addi-
tonalt increases.

OIL INDICATIONS
FOUND in SOUTH
DAKOTA REPORTED

vermillion. S. D.. Nov. There is
some indication Of oil in Harding
county, and in the adjoining region.
This is the conclusion of DR.. Free
man Ward, professor Of geology at the
University Of South Dakota and state
g%eologist, who spent last summer in
.yestigating the Harding county re-
gion. In his recent report DR.. Ward
said:
Interest in oil and gas in this state
still runs high. despite the lack Of
any big finds to date. Much inquiry
has been made concerning the north
west part OF the state. To meet this
demand the last field a was de-
voted to a study of the region. Fur
ther field work is necessary before
anything more positive can be ssid.
The problem will probably new be
entirely settled until, in addition 10
the field work, a few deep holes are
|rut down. Harding county is in the
extreme corner Of the state.
Until oil or a is struck in COM
mereial quantity in the northeastern
corner of Wyoming, the relation be-
tween Harding county and the Wy

Don't Pronounce It "e.tis."

A New York writer takes physicians
to task for their almost universal mis-
pronunciation of words ending in '1tis"
by giving the first 81" the long sc"
sound. He says this causes many other
persons to feel uncertain whether ap-
pendicitis is pronounced with the two
final syllables 'e-tis" or "i-tis," with
other words Of the clasS-cOlitis, tonsi-
litis and so On-in the same uncertain
ty. He says that according to the rules
of English-Latin pronunciation usual
ly followed In scientific Technology
whether from the Latin or the Creek
by English-speaking scientists the
termination 'i-tis' is correct. The
proper pronunciation Of appendicitis
therefore would be ap-pen-dis-i-tis
which makes the "itis" like the In ice
and not as e In eel.
The writer says further: According
to Webster-'itis" is correct and thai
the pronunciation "e-tis," so Otter
heard, is perhaps due to German in
fuence. The German scientists have
brought about this change and If W.
are to use the term in correct wa!
we should adhere to the rules of Eng
lish-Latin pronunciation. This sugges
ton Of the possible German inhuenc
will probably go further to estabhsl
a correct pronunciation than respec
for English-Latin terminology.
