NEVER WASTEFUL IN SPEECH
One Thing at Least In Which the
American People Are Econom-
ical to Degree.

The country as whole has lost the
"hang" of speaking English. Some
people proudly state that America is
no longer British colony, that she Is
creating language Of her own, and,
to prove their independence they
make practice Of Incorporating into
our speech sounds without definite
edges, sounds trailing clouds Of NUT
tered murmurs, sounds of such ele-
mental simplicity that they resemble
grunts, taken over from the speech of
persons who have come. to us from all
notwithstanding countries Of the
world. And, in their love Of equality
and fraternity, these people refuse to
exceed the speech Of those whose
simple needs are satisfied with a fru-
gal vocabulary; In this way they have
succeeded in cutting down their own
vocabulistic rations to the famine
point. Lavish, generous, wasteful in
other matters, the country has learned
to economize in sentence and syllable,
till it has reached genuinely demo
cratic simplicity Of speech.-Henry
Dwight Sedgwick, in Yale Review.

PARSLEY POINTED A MORAL
Youngster Quick to See the Point

In an Indiana town where crooked
ness in city affairs has been reigning
for years, lucrative position was Of

the salary itself was so large, but the
possibilities the position offered were
many. But still string was attached
and the lawyer knew it. So he turned
down the job.
His high-schoo1 son was provoked be-
cause his father had not accepted. He
grumbled about 1t in subtle little ways
for several days and then one day his
father came to school after the boy to
accompany him to a friends farm
Once there he showed the delighted
youngster all over the farm, last visit
ing the pen in which the hogs were be
ting fed for the market.
The boy eyed them a few minutes
and then asked, "What Is that they're
eating so ravenously"
The farmer answered: "Why, that's
parsley. It's the best hog fattener
know of. We just turn them into a
patch Of parsley and they do the rest
themselves. It's too good picking for
them to resist. When I decide that a
pig is almost ready for the market /
Just turn him into the parsley patch,
and soon he's just in the right condi-
ton to go to the slaughtering house."
"It's too bad they don't know what's
coming to them so that they stay away
from the parsley patch" laughed the
boy. "I'm sure would If were to
turn hog"
His father merely looked at him for
a minute and then he said: Parsley
always has looked like graft to me
very inviting, easy to get, and plenty
Of it while it lasts, and then at the
end inevitably the slaughtering pen."

real estate experts is almost unan-
imous that the adoption of the
coming resolution has stabilized
land values. The effect of the zone
plan has been particularly notice
able in the districts reserved for
detached houses. In such dis
tricts there has been an increased
demand for private residences
since the enactment of the coming
resolution. The restrictions have
resulted in a great improvement
of real estate conditions in such
neighborhoods. Where the prohi-
billions against Objectionable uses
of land imposed by restrictive COW
enants were formerly limited in
their duration they are now per-
manent.

In some Of these sections there are
fewer houses for sale than at any

The beneficial effect resulting
from the zone plan is also shown
in other ways; vacant land in some
sections sold until the war inter

before the adoption Of the resolu-
ton. New houses now being erect
ed are of higher type and better

+ Killed by Train.-The Rock Is
land railroad crossing at Fifth

of many fatalities in past years,
claimed another victim at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Henry Dit
mann, II, $40 Gaines street, was
struck by a switch engine. His
body was hurled so feet Death
was instantaneous. The aged man
apparently failed to hear either
the bell on the engine or the
shouts OF it's crew. He was on his
way home with a basket Of gro
ceries. Coroner Clarence o. Ebert,
who was on the scene within a
few moments, announced that an
inquest will be held, probably to-
day.

partially hanging in the elevator
shaft at the Crescent Macaroni
plant. Fifth and Iowa streets. about

was discovered after Cavanaugn
had failed to make two of his
hourly reports to the Western

watchman's death probably was in

crushing injuries to his body from
the waist down were the causes.
From the nature of the injuries
and the position of the body. Cor
oner Clarence D. Ebert believes
that the Waterman was caught be-
tween the elevator and the wall OF
the shaft and crushed to death.
Block Near Burned.-For twenty
minutes or more it looked as If a
big block of commercial houses in
the business section would be
wiped out by FIRE. Hard work on
the part of the firemen and the
fact that there was no wind held
in check a blaze that looked ugly
and threatening when the depart
ment arrived. The fire broke out
in the rooted enclosure IN the rear
of 112 Harrison street and used by
the Midwest Motors corporation
as a garage. The shed couples to-
gether the buildings backing in
from Harrison and Ripley streets
and faces the alley running east
