"SOGEE" AS An ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
Wealth of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit of coming new
meanings for words already known is
closely allied to that of coming words,
writes c. Jefferson Weber in the North
American Review. Take, for example.
the current slang use of that much
used word "SOme." What a wealth of
meaning and inSnuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the word
"Some" as an adverb may be heard
in many places. For instance. in the
Teign valley district of Devon the ma
tivcS may say. at did rain yum yes
terday." But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
THAT was some rain yesterday" This
use is hard to define. In the middle
Of the last century "SOme," meaning
considerable, or notable, was called "a
modern slang word" Today "SOme"
is almost limitlesS in its capacity for
application. 1t implies approval. en-
thusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admira-
tiOn, diSguSt-Or amusement.
The seeds may have been sOwn in
Cornwall, in Devon or in Lancashire,
but seriously doubt If native of any
of these counties would ever say en-
Enthusiastically, eve had some fun last
night" or sarcastically, 'This is some
bOOk!' Another word to which Ameri-
cans have given a new meaning is the
verb "raise." In England, men raise
crops; in America, they also raise chill
dren.

Last Wednesday, April 10, marked |
the opening of the shad season in the
Delaware river, and planked shad din
ners are once more being served in
the hotels and restaurants. The |
prices, however, will be higher than
in past seasons. due to the scarcity of
the favorite toOthsome fish. There
are fewer shad nets being operated in
the Delaware river this season than
for many years, and is due to the fact
that shad are getting scarcer every
year, and many of the fishermen being
employed this year in shipyards and
munitiOn plants at wages that are
higher than they could make operat-
ing a shad net. Like everything else,
the price of shad is going up and the
prices prevailing on the fish stands
are thirty cents per pound This way
of selling shad is new. In past years
shad were sold at the rate of so much
each, but this year they are being
weighed and sold according to their
weight Fresh Delaware shad are
being sold at higher rate than thirty
cents, which is being asked for South
ern shad. The smallest shad weighs
four pounds, but the average shad for
a family use is between six and seven
pounds, and in years gone by dollar
at this time of year was considered a
fair price for a siX-pound shad Some
of the dealers on account of the high
price are cutting them in half to sell.
and in this way they sell the roe sep
arate and receive more profits. The
fishermen in the lower Delaware be-
gan operations a week ago but their
catches are not to be compared with
last year, according to their reports.
They have been selling most of their
shad at the boats and not shipping
many to the markets thus far.

Tact and Charm.

Dinner conversation offers the Op-
portunity to eliminate all disagreeable
topics. To lay aside ones worries and
keep ones troubles from Obtruding.
The same should be said of all Occa-
sions and good form particularly de-
notes that dinners, and formal dinners
at that, should be freed of personal
burdens retailed.
At all times give interest as well as
try to inspire it and one Of the en-
ph0tic ways Is to let the person who
happens to be speaking have your un-
divided attention. Attention and con-
centration amount to about the same
thing and should apply to what one Is
oneself saying as well as hearing.

U-BOATs USE OIL CAMouFLAGE
Submarine Commanders Try New
Trick, but Twas Quickly
Found Out

London. - Tricky German C-ooat
commanders have conceived rev plan
designated to deceive crews ~ the al
lied submarine destroyers IN the game
OF hide and seek in European waters.
When a depth bomb is discharged and
does not cripple or destroy the Ger
man undersea boat. as sometimes hap
pens a quantity Of Oil is released by
some device Of the submersible and
quickly rises 70 the waters surface.
The hope Of the German U-boat cap
tain is that the commander Of the de
strcver viii see the oil. believe that the
submarine has been wrecked and drop
no more depth charges. Meantime, the
German Is endeavoring to escape.
American and British commanders of
destroyers anu submarine chaSers dis
covered the scheme Of the Germans
some time ago and since then have
been dropping depth bombs In greater
numbers than previously, using the oil
as guide to the general location of
their target Ion camouflaze" the
American and British navy men call
this latest German submarine trick.

FOOD CLUBS ENDURE
THE TEST OF TIME
(By c. V. Stainsoy, Assistant &c Or.
Harry {. Barnard, Federal Food
Administrator fer lnGiana.l

The L &. Food Clubs car endure
the tests OF the time During he
stress OF war ali our institutions are
being judged by their natural rela-
tionship 10 the war program. Those
things that definitely hinder our war
activities are quickly put cut Of the
way The list of non essential indus
tries. that do not help is steadily be
ing enlarged and more clearly de-
fined These industries are being
either reformed or restricted Pub
lie opinion is rapidly shaping itself TO
oppose any expenditure Of energy or
material except in the interest or
winning the war individuals and
communities that do not support the
government war program soon feel
the disapproyal OF their neighbors.
Some OF the questions that We are all
being required TO answer in justiiica-
tion Of our right 10 citizenship IN this
democracy are as follows Are you
supporting the selecttye service law
Are you buying Liberty Bonds and
War Savings Stamps? Are you con-
tributing to the Red Cross. Y ". c.
A. and similar movements Are YOU
saving fuel@ Are you supporting the
l. S Food Administration to the
limit OF your ability? 1t is easier TO
be a food Stacker than any other kind
OF Stacker because food is handled
within the privacy Of the home. For
the same reason the food patriot is
the truest type Of patriot. One may
purchase a Liberty Bond for the sake
Of appearances. Those who observe
the food rules at home do so because
they are loyal L. s citizens.
It is impossible to sum UP the whole
food situation in one or two SEN
fences. There are many phases to
it To observe the regulations fully
we must put ourselves in a position
to receive regular information from
| oh1ciaI sources. The Y. 6. Food Clubs
offer the best opportunity for this
enlightenment They are being Or
ganized so that the Food Administra-
/ ton can communicate directly with
! the homes They bring the house
wives together so that they may dis
/ cuss their problems and exchange
j ideas. They render a definite con
] triubtion to our war program. They
/ are first essentials. They need not
i apologize for their existence. They
Mace a stamp Of loyalty on the indi-
vidual member and on the communi-
! ties in which they are maintained.

Saving Of sl0,OOO,OOO
Predicted If the u. 5.
Relieves Agents

A saving Of 100000 annually for
the Railroad Administration has been
suggested to Director General Nc
Adoo by Earl H. Morton, Of Boston,
president Of the Order Of Railroad
Station Agents.
Several thousand agents, Mr.. Nor
ton pointed out, devote two or three
hours daily to the handling Of mail.
This work takes them away from
their station and railroad duties, and
thus hinders their efficiency. Fur
thermore, he said in q letter to Mr..
McAdoo, they are naturally unable to
do the mail work justice.
II the Postofiiee Department under
took to pay the railroad men for the
work they DO, it would cost about S1o,-
oo0.o0o q year. Morton asks that the
Railroad Administrator relieve the
agents OF this work. and increase rail-
road efficiency s100Ooo0o worth.

LIST 100000 men
FOR SHIPYARD WORK
Big Enrolment Proof of Workman S
Loyalty. Says L. F. Post.

Approximately 100000 mechanics
were enrolled for shipyard work in
the campaign Just closed, the Labor
Department announced last night.
In announcing the results of the
campaign. Louis F. Post, Assistant
Secretary of Labor, said:
The response OF labor to the ap-
peal to enroll in the Public Service
Reserve is extremely gratifying and
Is ample proof OF the loyalty Of the
American wage Garner. Several
thousand of the enrolling agents of
the reserve are members of local
unions and they have registered
their fellows in the reserve"
The reserve is to be drawn on
gradually since large numbers of
men are not Immediately in demand
by the yards. Unemployed workers
who apply will receive FIRST call.
Assistant Secretary Post warned
against reports of great shipyard
labor shortages, and urged the men
to hold their jobs until called on.

English Air Raiders Bomb
Huge German Aerodrome
Balderston Describes Confusion and Damage
to Enemy Forces When Aviators Drop
Tons of Explosives on Huns

in a hundred feet of the ground and
attacked the sides and roof of two
sheds, firing thirty-five rounds. The
next machine to arrive on the scene
managed to drop its bombs on a Ger
man aeroplane, which it surprised in
the act Of landing after a night flight.
The German defenses, which con-
sisted Of searchlights and q barrage
OF tracer shells. now got to work, but
were unable to ward on any of the
raiders. All the bombs were dropped
as planned, all from a height OF less
than a thousand feet. Two other ma
chimes, being troubled by searchlights
while locating the aerodrome, dived
down the beams and put one search
light out OF action with their machine
guns. This contributed much to the
success OF the remaining bombing ma
chimes.
On the return journeys nearly every
machine located columns of German
troops and transport on the roads be-
hind their lines. On these a few re-
naming bombs and nearly 1000 rounds
Of ammunition were expended. The
havoc caused by this machine cunning
from low attitudes was indescribable;
troops scattered in every direction,
horses bolted and upset wagons, block
ing the traffic and disorganizing COLI
umns for miles.
One machine encountered a German
observation balloon while crossing the
lines. 1t promptly attacked and
brought the balloon down in flames.
Nearly five tons of bombs we're
dropped on sheds and camps. infiict-
ing a tremendous amount of damage
as was proved by aerial photographs $
taken early next day. The only Brit
ish casualty" was that caused by a
stray bullet which set fire to the flare
on one aeroplane. This led the pilot
to imagine that his aeroplane was on
fire; so he turned back and landed
successfully, despite the fact that the
bullets had also cut through the wires
of his navigation lights.
