Recently this committee met three

the enlargement Of Franklin Field. The
engineers have visited Harvard and
Princeton stadiums and the Yale bowl.
II Is more likely that some other site
will be chosen and Franklin Field itself
enlarged. Various sites have been sug-
rested for the new field. One s in

One warm day Mrs. Henry Hen took
her family under the bushes out of the

was very brave and that some day he
would be the cock of the yard and
that all the others would have to obey

EDNA.

TT THERE was ever a name with

or parentage it seems to be Edna.
Etymologists record frankly nothing
in the case of Edna. She seems to
have just appeared. Something about
her is reminiscent of the Morse and we
can imagine Valkyries or the daugh-
tiers of Vikings bearing such name,
but history fails to back up our fancy
{ It must seem then that Edna came
in some way from the ever popular
masculine Edward. 1t may, indeed,
be contraction of the feminine form
Edwina. Such being the case, Edna's
ancestress must have been the famous
Frau Uote, mother Of Krieminga, who
interpreted her dream and predicted
the early death of her bridegroom.

where a boat bringing mail actually
carries off the next outgoing mail.
Any way there is a certain abrupt-
ness about the expression that makes
it unsuitable even for business which
should always be courteous even
though to the point "At your earliest
convenience" is better expression.
But why use any of those stereotype
expressions that are seldom used any
where but in letters? The man now
who writes the best business letters
writes as he would talk and says in
stead "as soon as you can" or ssas
soon as possible" or something of that
sort.
Don't use the ending very truly
yours" in anything but a business
letter. 1t is no longer the right end
ing for social purposes or letters be-
tween personal friends.
Don't use the ending respectfully
yours" in ordinary business CORE
spondence 1t is tns correct ending in
an official or business letter addressed
to the President, it might properly be
used in addressing the vice president
or justice of the Supreme court, but
to use it simply because you are writ
ing to someone whom you wish to do
business with has an air of too great
obsequiousness.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By C. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"MAD" AND "ANeRY."

EEW words are more frequently ms.
l. used than mad" AMI angry Il
must be confessed, however, that there
is some excuse for the misuse of the
words, since many psychologists hold
that it is difficult to tell, when the emo
tons of a person are aroused, just
where anger ends and madness begins.
But in grammar there is sharp dis
tinction between angry" and mad"
The former means to be vexed or out
of patience, while the latter indicates
madness, insanity. A person who is
insane is mad, but person whose
mail is delayed is not mad, but mere
~ angry There is a figurative use of
the word "mad0-that is, a use in
which the words are not to be taken
literally such as mad with pain"
''mad with terror" etc.

man ''he cheated me in stock deal"
He should say, II am angry at that

also thought they should mind him

and they all told him he was afraid
and not brave enough to be the ruler
of the barnyard.
II am brave" piped up little hvust-
er. 81 will show you how brave / am
some day when a hawk comes to carry
off mother. I will fly right at him and
drive him away"
Mrs. Henry Hen did not hear her
children quarreling, for she had left
the shade of the bushes and was
scratching for worms little way off,
and just then she clucked to her chill
dren to come and have part Of the
feast she had found.
All the chicks ran, but little Rooster
reached her side first, and just as his
mother WIS dras ging from the ground
large, plump worm a very large Mr..
Blackbird, who was sitting on limb
of the tree just over Mrs. Hen, flew
down and grabbed the worm.
He did not get it, because Mrs. Hen
was too quick for him, but little
Rooster, thinking it must be a hawk,
peeped loudly and ran as fast as he
could back to the bushes.
All his sisters peeped and fiuttered
about, calling him a ''fraidy chick"
and telling him he would never be a
brave Rooster who could protect the
barnyard fowl.
Little Rooster felt very foolish, but
it cured him Of Dragging, for every
time he began to talk Of his bravery
all his sisters would peep, "Who was
afraid Of Mr.. BIackbird?'' and little
Rooster would stop Dragging right
away.

THE KODAK.

IN 1882 j. H. Schultze accidentally
1 discovered that silver chloride was
darkened by light. Hellet, in 1877,
made the same discovery about silver
nitrate. Wedgweed, in England, made
silhouette profles by the use of this
chemical. In 1889 Herschel discovered
the fixing solution, or ''hypo." These
independent discoveries were united
in 1910, when Miss Dorothy Catherine
Draper posed for the first picture ever

of photography was born. The inven-
