Arizona MatrOns Taught

Arizona women are hustlers, If those
who attend the clothing schools held in
that state are typical examples. These
clothing schools are conducted by the
home demonstration agents under the
direction of the United States depart
ment of agriculture and the state col
lege. The women who attend them are
taught various phases Of dressmaling
and millinery. Such a school was re-

Before it could be used, the walls and

they were given it by the committee in
charge. Three machines and two work
tables were installed and II women
came for instruction the first after
noon. The amount of work accom-
plished during the entire week by
those in attendance was a surprise to
the home demonstration agent and the
committee in charge. One woman, in
the three days she attended, made a

cap. While doing this, she also minded
the baby she brought with her. When
the yOungster grew restless, she ran
her sewing machine with one foot and
rolled the baby carriage back and forth
with the other. All during her work,
she sang a Dutch lullaby to the baby.

Very Difficult to Make
Rules for PronounCing
Words of Our Language

A good American citizen was mildly
indignant on being told that he was
not correct in saying, 'Tll give you
my address," with the accent on the
first syllable of his last word.
Certainly that's right" he said.
There's a well-known rule that when
two-syllable word is used both as a
noun and as a verb, it's accented on
the first syllable If It's noun and on
the last if it's verb. Why, I'll under
take to give you a dozen instances Off
hand"
And he proceeded, with little time
for cogitation, to produce the follow
ing exhibits, all of which undoubtedly
comply with his specifications:
Convict, export, import, annex, con-
duct, desert, compound, contest, pro-
duce, present, rebel, record.
''Your rule is a failure, neverthe-
less" said his friend and critic. ST
admit that it seems to work with the
words you have mentioned; but I'll
undertake to give you twice as many,
and equally common ones, that falsify
it."
And he did. It did not take him FIVE
minutes to think of two dozen words
used both as nouns and as verbs and
pronounced identically in both senses.
Cover, credit, merit, offer, honor
thunder, order, rescue, reason, season
master, purchase-in these the accent
is always on the first syllable; while
1t is always on the last syllable in re-
port, account, exchange, control, COM
mand, attack, effect, advance, attempt,
preserve, ally and alarm.
All of which goes to show that it is
very difficult to make rules for the
pronunciation of our noble and be-
loved, but unaccountable language

comes under suspicion. He stays
to help clear Up the mystery.
0DOwd OF Green Fancy says
that that place of mystery is not

While he was trying to invent a pre-

to relinquish his place on the couch

"Come and sit beside me, Mr..

For a few minutes She ehided him
for his 'unseemly aversion. He was
beginning to think that he had been
mistaken in her motive and that after
all she was merely satisfying her van

his eyes, she said, lowering her voice
slightly:

Much to Barnes surprise-and dis
appointment-th interior of the house

produced by the exterior. The en-

which he was conducted by the two
men were singularly like others that
he had seen. The latter. for example.

with a thought for comfort rather than
elegance or even good taste. The

rich, gay materials; the hangings at
the windows were of deep blue and
gold; the walls an unobtrusive cream
color, almost literally matched with
etchings.
The stairs were thickly carpeted. At
the top his guide turned to the left
and led the way down long corridor.
They passed at least four doors he
fore O'Dowd stopped and threw open
the fifth on that side Of the hall. There
were still two more doors beyond.
Suggests a hotel, doesn't it?" said
the Irishman, standing aside for
Barnes to enter. "All Of the sleeping
apartments are on this floor, and the
baths and boudoirs and what not. The
garnet is above, and that's where we
deposit our family skeletons, intern
our grievances, store our stock of
spitefulness and hide all the little
devils that must come sneaking up
from the city with us whether we will

Barnes to be "done" by the silent,
swift-moving valet. Dabson was young
and vigorous and exceedingly well
