Promotion of "Pure EnolishU -

In England, rs in the United States,
the subject Of preserving the purity Of
the English language from the effects
OF slang, loss of grammatical distinc-
tions. etc, has recently attracted much
attention. One of the results of the
movement In England is the formation
of the Society for Pure English. The
society was founded in 1913, but was
compelled by the war to postpone its
activities. The reason for the exist
ence Of the society Is given rs "the
duty OF English speaking peoples to
make their language adequate and
efficient. and worthy Of It's increasing
and worldwide use. Its purpose Is
to further the best interest Of the
language by the PRONUNCIATION Of sound
knowledge" 1t Is asserted that the
Society for Pure English does not in.
tend to dogmntizr but to open an in
formal democratic court in which all
questions may be argued on full in.

weevil between Two blocks Of ice at
the ice factory here and let 1t remain
twenty-four hours to see If it could
be frozen. When taken out and
placed in the sun it came to life.
They then drilled hole in block
OF ice and put it in the hole, while
The ice was being completely frozen,
and let it remain for forty-eight
hours. TO their astonishment, when
placed in the sun, it again revived
and flew away.

TWENTY BURIED WHEN CAVE-IN
OF New York Theatre Takes Place.
May BE that Others Are Dead.

New York, Nov 30.-lifteen or
twenty workmcn were believed to
have been killed yesterday when a
new theatre in course of construction
at Bedford and Park avenues. Brook
lyn, collapsed, according to early po-
lice reports.
At the Vernon avenue police sta
tion the number Of dead was estimat-
cd at twenty-five.
Fifty workmen were engaged OH
the new structure, the American
Theatre. A hurried rOll-call indi-
Gated that about half OF them had
been buried.
Shortly before o'clock four had
been taken from the ruins and were
rushed to hospitals.
Sylvester Rosenthal and Samuel
detained on technical charge Of
| omicide, told the police that about
80 men were working in the orches-
ira pit when the roof and north wall
fell in. They estimated that about
ten had escaped being buried.
The contractors were unable to
tell the police the cause Of the acci-
dent. and this angle was not pressed
while the rescue work was in prog
ress. Just what point the casualty
list would reach remained uncertain.
The Vernon police station had the
highest cStimate-twenty-fi -. but
an hour and Il half after the accident
occurred it was believed that not
more than fifteen had pcrishcd. 1t
| soon became evident that the numbe"
would remain undetermined until the
search Of the ruins had been COM
pletcd.

The jury was out from Friday

Wright and his wife had separ-
ated and the woman was living at

billiard, his wife and two children
testified that they had been annoyed
by persons who were trespassing on
their place and the night of the

Going out, Hilliard called to the
trespasser to surrender and took a
shot at a man as he was going down
the road. The shot proved fatal.
II turned out that the victim was
Wright.
Wright was so years old. He
said before he died that Hilliard
had shot him. Hiliiard denied he

limits of the city of Fort Dodge.
For the past six months, and
as a matter of fact for the past year,
have listened to the gloom stories
of the milk dealers OF this city"
Mayor Scott said.
They have told me that the
passage of a milk ordinance would
inflict such hardships upon the deal
ers that they would be forced from
business and that a milk famine
would undoubtedly result IL We pass
ed any ordinance regulating milk dis
tribution. In the face of these stor-
les learned that more than 100, 900
gallons of milk had been turned into
the sewers. / don't mean that they
actually threw it away; they skimm-
ed IL first and took the cream off;
but what / do mean is that that milk
was shipped into Fort Dodge to be
consumed as milk and that the
supply in Fort Dodge and Webster
county exceeds the demand. Rather
than give the consumer the benefit
of a low price, which they could
have Zone, the milk dealers have
paid freight and express on this milk
from some points as far away as
Perry and after it had reached Fort
Dodge they skinned it and run Il
into he sewer because If it we're
thrown upon the market it would
have reduced the price"
One creamery employe told him
that OF numerous occasions they had
put the steam hose into an entire
can of skinned milk and soured it
and made cottage cheese Of it for the
boys around the creamery to take
home.

Arm Was Badly Crushed

BY using all his force in pulling
his right arm from the cogs of a
cement mixer into which it had been
pulled when the sleeves of his jacket
caught in the machinery, James Fry
er saved his arm from being pulled
off or crushed at his home in the
northeast part of Villisca, where he
was building cement sidewalks about
the residence which he is building.
Though Mr.. Fryer escaped having
his arm taken off by the machinery,
it is so badly injured that the attend
ing physician is yet unable to deter
mine whether amputation will be
necessary or not.
The arm was broken at the elbow
and the wrist, and most Of the skin
was torn loose from the forearm,
thus cutting off the circulation of
the blood in the arm so that the
wound may not heal.
Mr.. Fryer slipped and fell into
the machinery which is run by a
gasoline engine, and as soon as he
saw his jacket being wound into the
wheels he put all his force into the
pull and succeeded ia getting loose,
but not before he had been severely
injured. His right arm also was cut
and bruised and his shoulder was
bruised.

to 157. The official ballots carried
two questions. The first read, Shall
the town OF Griswold, construct a
municipal electric light plant, build

and 104 women voted no.
The second proposition was For
! Cor against) the issuance of bonds
| in the sum of $4,000 for electric
| lighting purposes. Ninety men and
fifty four womenvoted for it, and
against 1t.
The election was probably one OF
the most exciting in the history Of
Griswold. The issue was very sharp
ly drawn between the faction who
advocated the installation of mu-
nicipal plant on the ground chat a
reduction of light and power rates
would result and the ether faction
who claimed that under present con-
ditions the town should not be
budened with further taxation.
