Perversions Of English
Speech Are Numerous
Some of the Examples

John Rivers points out how many
''perversions" of English are used in
common speech.
Thus "exterminate," which properly
means "to drive out" or "banish," is
now used as an equivalent of "extir-
pate" In the sense of ito destroy ut
terly." "Trivial," which really means
strife" or "hackneyed." as when Bacon
writes, ''These conceits which are now
trivial were then new" has been as
simulated in sense to "trifiing." "Rest-
ive," which should mean "given to
resting" or stopping" has from it's
resemblance to RESTLESS" acquired that
words meaning. In like manner the
phrase "to demean oneself" transla-
ton Of the old French Sc .demener, is
now generally used In the sense Of ito
degrade oneself" and the word "de-
file" from the French defiler, ito march
In line," has received the meaning of
the Anglo-Saxon "befile, to make foul"
"Prejudicial" has come to be cock
tensive with harmful :" unique" and
singular" with remarkable"
A careful writer will not say that
the heat Is phenomenal" unless he
means that 1t is not real He will not
use the word "pessimistic" and "op-
timistic" as equivalents of "despond-
ent" and ''hopeful" respectively. Nor
will he speak Of an "egregious fool"
unless he means distinguished buff
fOon." 1t would also be distinct gain
to the language IL we could agree to
rescue the word impairment" from
the results Of Its unfortunate entan-
clement in the popular mind with the
word 'impudent," and restore 1t to it's
precise meaning as the opposite Of
pertinent. Worlds Work.

Suffering Caused by War.

The name 'barbed-wire disease" Is
found by Bing and Vischer to have
probably originated in Switzerland,
and it applies to very marked func-
tional mental disorder. The symp-
toms. recognizable In most men con-
fined more than six months behind
barbed-wire fencing, Gre severe in
about 10 per cent of all prisoners. In.
creased irritability appears first, fol-
lowed by diminished power of con-
centration, and there Is much COM
plant Of loss Of memory of persons
and places. Insomnia Is a secondary
symptom. Some prisoners have d.
minished eyesight, many grow sus-
picious, all tend to pesslmism, some
reaching an extreme in several days
at time of speechless torpor. For
getfulness of words is very striking.

Spears Are Chief Weapons ri
Used in the Capturing Of
Bears by Indian Huntsmen

Among the sports Of India Is the
capturing Of bears. and to this end
curious means are sometimes devised
For example. four or FIVE sturdy men
are. armed, two with long spears
cross-barred on the handles close to
the sharp two-edged blade, and two
or three with ten-foot bamboos, Of
which the ends are smeared with bird
lime. These hunters sally forth with
dogs before dawn. They pass along
the base Of the hills with the fresh
morning wind blowing up the plains
below. Should the hunter be lucky 1t
Is not long before the dogs find the
bear. The dogs are slipped and dis
appear In the semi-darkness. Soon
their roaring and growing indicate
that they have found the game. The
hunters run up to the spot where the
bear Is fighting with the dogs. The
men with the lined poles poke the
bear In the ribs and adroitly twist the
ends In its long hair. thus holding 1t
fast on each flank. The spearmen COM
plete the operation by repeated spear
thrusts.

FRANK A. WILLEKE.

Funeral services for Gunner's Mate
Frank Aloysius Willeke. U. s. N. were
| held yesterday at the Immaculate
Conception Church, Eighth and "
streets northwest. The services,
which were simple but impressive,
were attended by many naval en-
listed men stationed here who were
friends OF Willeke. The services
were conducted by Father Eckenrode.
Eight sailors in uniform acted as
pallbearers and a detachment of sail
ors escorted the body to Arlington
National Cemetery. where it was bur-
led with full military honors. A f1r-
ing squad fired the last salute over
the grave and bugIer sounded taps.
Willeke was drowned December 8,
1918 when a patrol boat on which he
was doing beach patrol duty capsized
in a heavy storm off the coast of Tan
gier, Morocco. The storm in which
he lost his life was the one which
caused such havoc among Atlantic
shipping, resulting in the loss Of
thirty-nine vessels.
He was drowned on the day when
he was to receive his promotion from
second to first class gunner's mate.
He enlisted in the navy in 1912 and
left when he had served out this en-
listment. When this country declared
war he re-enlisted and was assigned
to duty on the U. S. $. Lansdale on it's
first trip across the Atlantic.
Willeke was born in this city and
was twenty-six years old. He is sur
vived by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Rupp; a brother, and a sister.
