OUR HARD-WORKING WORDS

is the word most frequently misspelled. Allege is another of the willing work CTS which often proves an ortho- graphical stumbling block.
 The word -statistician wanted to get exact information as to which of his most used words were hardest to spell. There seemed but one way to tell, and that was to give them to folks to try and record the result. Children in school were the readiest material available for conducting these eXperi- ments so the thousand were sent to S6 cities where 70,000 children fur rowed their broWs over them, did the best they could, and unknoWinsly made a record in d new field of investiga- tion.
 The Hardest to Spell The words were arranged in col umns in accordance with the difficulty of spelling them. The three just given were placed in the column Of those hardest to spell The next hardest col umn contained two words-declsion and principle. The third column con i tained seven words as follows; inn mediate. convenient receipt, prelim
 mary, disappoint, especially, annual and committee. In the fourth column were the words organization emer- gency. appreciate, sincerely, atnletlc
 extreme, practical proceed, cordially 1 character, separate. February. In the
 fifth column appeared the list or words
 next most difficult to spell as follows
 principal, testimony, discussion, ar
 rangernent reference, evidence. eX- perience, session, secretary, assocla- ton, career height.
 These are typical of the every day
 words used in current correspondence
 which vex most people. These, accord ing to the world statistician, are those which should appear in the spelling
 books, and which should be mastered | before the child is inflicted with tha multitude of more difficult words tha
 are a kill-joy to youth.

offer cumulative evidence that the country is entering on another and more comprehensive phase of post bel lum readjuStment. Stocks experienced another period of liquidation in which many popular issues fell to the year s lowest levels, while United States Steel registered it's minimum price for almost two years.
 The setback extended to bonds, for which the early July inquiry seemed to have suddenly ceased. Many pre- war high grade railway and industrial issues of accepted value suffered also.
 Much of the reversal was retrieved later in the work. encouraging views of Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve board respecting the future credit situation, causing heavy cover

Market News

NEW YORK, July 31.-Price move ments on the stock exchange today were narrow and the volume or trad ing was small, 174,000 shares. The tone was one of underlying firmness, but the inquiry was light and trading kept within the usual limits of mid summer Saturday.
 The best evidence of an upward ten dency developed among railroad issues in which during the last hour there was an exhibition of quiet strength. Recent movements of industrials tend ed to restrict the demand in this sec ton and in some Of these issues there was an easing off in quotations. Deal ings in bonds were nominal and with out material changes among leading issues. Total sales, par value, B, ,1sO,- o0o. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call for the week.
 The foreign exchanges were bid up with relative briskness. Sterling eff fected a rebound of more than cent from yesterday, and rates on France and Italy also moved up, although somewhat less rapidly.

 vealed an actual deficit below legal requirements. as last week. Actual 1 loans and discounts decreased more than SEQ. 0oo.00o. There was an in- crease of $s.5s6.000 in demand deposits | and the actual deficit was s6,os6,o0o 1 as compared with S4276 900 last week Slowly reviving business activity

 In the cellar underneath the hospi tai is the death room, where homeless and hopelessly diseased animals are brought and mercifully put to death by electrocution. This is such quick and painless method, according to the secretary, that you cannot even hear the animal whimper. There is only thud. and then it is all over.
 Before electrocuting a homeless anil nal, the league first endeavors to se- cure for it a home. About fifty dogs were placed in country homes by of ficers of the league during the past year. One of these was little bull terrier which had spent the two years of it's unhappy life in a cellar. The owner, for some reason, refused to re- lease it to the confines of the backyard so the league bought the dog and placed it in an excellent home. where 1t has a wide lawn to romp over and many cats to chase, far out on Long Island.
 In addition to the impressive list of
 prominent philanthropists who sup port the free relief to animals admin istered by the league, many dogs and cats and horses contribute to the wei fare of their species Their contribu tions are collected through a dogs, . cats and a horses brigade, whose membership dues are a dollar a yeu> | Thousands of animals are now en- rolled in these brigades. and many o' | them. belonging to wealthy families 1 contribute much more than their mem 1 bership dues to the subscription boxe: | of the league.

 A Cat With Gold The next case, brought for examina- ton in large valise, was big nal- tese cat. with a bad case of laryngitis. | The owner, a middle aged, kindly faced woman, was very much worried be- cause the cat had not been eating as much as usual.
 ''You probably feed the cat too much said the doctor, after making an examination. Tt would be much healthier if it were not so fat. What do you feed it?'
 Meat and fish and bread" replied the woman.
 'Cut out the bread said the doc tor, and gave her box or pills to be fed the cat at stated intervals.
 One of the chief causes of i'll health among city-bred animals" declared the doctor, "is that they are fed the 1 wrong kind of food. Many people think, for instance, that dogs should
 be fed only little meat, whereas meat
 should be the principal item of canine
 diet. A dog is essentially a carnivor-
 ous animal, and does not thrive as a
 vegetarian Pork. of course, is out ot
 the question for dogs, but almost any
 other meat will do. As a supplement
 to a strictly meat diet, dog biscuit is
 the next best thing. A mixture of beer

Invalid Animals
BY FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

NEW YORK-To the person who is fond of domestic animals. one of the most interesting places in New York is the hospital and clinic of the New York Women's League for animals, down on Lafayette street. This insti- tuition is run by the same methods as hospitals for human beings, even to the operation of a huge brilliant red ambulance, which brings in several in jured patients, mostly horses. every day.
 New York probably has more do- mestic animals in proportion to It's population than any other city Tn the United States; and certainly no other city is a more hostile environment Tor them. Go for walk in any section or Manhattan in the evening. and you find battalions of people, gently lead- ing their precious toy dogs Stay nome and attempt to sleep, and you are keps awake by the raucous voices of many cats in the backyard. The horse is still a conspicuous factor in the city delivery service, despite the increas lng use of motor trucks.
 That the crowded conditions of the city are hard on the health of domes- tic animals is shown by the work of this hospital which treated approxl- rnately 10000 animals during the past year. Tn addition to this about 14,OOo animals, received at the shelters estab- lished by the league in two city parks had to be humanely put to death.
 Dogs Suffer Most
 Most of the animals treated at the hospital are dogs Skin diseases and intestinal disorders, which are almost entirely the result of unwholesomt city life, are the chief causes of in validisn in dogs, while a large num- her are brought in with distemper Ruurured eyes are also common, and fractured limbs, usually the result o, automobile accidents, are everyday oc- currences.
 One such victim was brought ten derly nto the clinic by two little boy: while the reporter was visiting tn hospitaI the other day.
