Correct English.

Common use or misuse of certain
words or expressions does not neces-
sarily make them correct English; the
present. national and reputable use of
them, as eXemplified by the majority
of the best writer's and speakers, forms
the. standard by which language must
he judged, Though our language Is
continually growing and slang words
of yesterday in many cases are correcr
English today, many slang words and
expressions never attain responsibility
at all; thus Prof. r. p. Utter speaks
of the word "booze" having remained
slang since before Shakespeare's time.
II may also be added that grammatical
misuse of words is unjustifiable by
any authority, however great; Shake
speare's frequent employment of the
double negative does not make u
haven't done nothing" good English.

Illegal Traffic in Savings Stamps
and Liberty Bonds to Bring
Penalties.
PROPOSED LAW PROVIDES
REWARD FOR CONVICTION
City and Village Councils Requested
to Pass Ordinance Aimed
at sealpers.

Following investigations in Mime
apolis and throughout the Ninth Fed
eral Reserve district, when it was dis
covered that widespread effort pre-
walls by promoters to trade worthless
stock for Liberty bonds and to pur-
chase. War Savings and Thrift stamps
at less than real value, efforts are un-
der way to have cities and villages
throughout the district pass an ordi-

The War Savings organization has
had prepared by the United States

information resulting in conviction.
Glass Issues Warning.
Carter Glass, secretary of the treas
ury, has issued warning from Wash

"A large number of persons are be-
ing duped by these swindlers. 1t is
the duty of all citizens to act against
these fraudulent operations in govern
ment securities at this time; when we
can i'll afford to dissipate our resources
for the profit of the INSCRIPTIONS
few"
"Fostered by the greed and ayarice
of people preying upon fellow citi-
zens," said M. E. Harrison, director,
there has sprung up practice known
as 'scalping' War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps. Complaints reach this
office from persons who have been
fleeced and in accordance with plans
for the 1920 Savings Stamps sales. we
are inaugurating this campaign to do
away with these vultures of the finan-
cial underworld.
p. o. Will Pay II Stamps Must Go.
THE government has provided that
War Savings Stamps owners may cash

do is to go to the post office. give ten

600 women employed in sixty-tWo IN,
dustries and businesses varying from
work as telephone operators clerks,
photographers and bookkeepers to

Each year thousands Of these Wo-

AS part of its world service for wO-
men, the Young Women's Christian
Association plans to build tlorTnitorles
in manufacturing towns where girls
may live cheaply under keaitlful
physical and social conditions, 10 send
out secretaries who can introduce rec
reation into the factory compound and
direct games and social life.
This is done with the cooperation
of the factories managers and pro-
prietors. One of the most influential
of these is Mrs. Suzuki, the most
prominent woman manufactures in
Japan, who is owner and manager of a
firm which exported $11000,000 worth
Of bean oil to America last year.
Recently Mrs. Suzuki decided to
employ one thousand women in her
Offices. She could not find enough
well trained ones SO she established
a permanent school where japanese
girls may be trained to enter the bust
ness world. The greatest danger
ahead of Japan, she says, is in It's
growing materialism, and Japan's
greatest need, the development Of her
women.

HEALTH CRUSADERS.

Led sby the Red Cross, like the
heroic knights of olden days more
than 10000 Minnesota school chill
aren are today waging great war,
the hourly combat against the grim
foe, disease.
They are the Modern Health Cru
saders who daily faithfully perform
their health "chores" under the
program arranged by the Minnesota
Public Health Association.
Last year Minnesota school chill
dren made an exceptional record in
the Modern Health Crusade, 81 of
the Ill schools in the United States
which scored 100 per cent enroll
ment being Minnesota schools. To
obtain the 100 per cent for their
school, every pupil in the class
is required to do at least rs
per cent of the health "chores" each
week during the tournament.
This year, each pupil has IL chores
to do, and the faithful performance
of each chore is recorded on a special
chart. Each boy and girl is placed
on his or her honor to perform and
report faithfully their execution of
the chores.
Health Crusades are being con-
Quoted in fifty of Minnesota's eighty
six counties and establishment of the
crusade in the majority of the other
counties is expected before Christ
mas Day.
In performing the chores during
the fifteen weeks tournament the
