He is a gradu. ate of several educational institu. tions in Mexico City, whence he -hails. Aranda has "a rich, wonder ful voice." according to Mary Gar den, before whom he says he sang in Los Angeles. but it must be trained. said John Mccormack, who, Aranda stated also praised his sweet tenor but recommended q season or two under a voice culture artist. Aranda is twenty eight, but he looks much younger His appearance in Cyra- cuse followed a more or less trudg- ing of highways from the coast. He said he had used his voice en route to pave the way for q square" meal, and a Good Samaritan here and there had helped him, He is des- tined for New York to consult the Spanish consul general there.

OFFICERS ASK
 EQUAL PAY TO
 WEST POINTERS
sBy International News Service)

(By International News Service)
 WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The dis abled emergency officers of the World war, with national headquart. CTS here, is conducting a vigorous campaign in congress for the elimin- ation of alleged discrimination be. tween volunteers and West Pointers in the matter of retirement pay.
 The first real victory came when the senate received from it's mili- tary affairs committee a favorable report to retire emergency officers who were disabled in service with the same retirement compensation as now goes to retiring military academy officers who are retired be- cause of disabilities.
 Dozens of emergency officers who are still in the hospitals have al, ready joined the officers union, having as it's object the pressing of their claims. and since the senate
 
 tary committee there has been a steady flow of applications from dis abled leaders in all parts of the country joining the association. With a bitter fight now on against the proposed adjusted compensation the disabled officers think there is more reason than ever before that they should be most active, and many congressman and senators have re- Ceived letters from home asking that they support the bills for the elimi- nation of alleged injustice in favor of the regular officers.
 Section 10 of the selective serv- ice act said that "all officers and en- listed men of the forces herein pro vided for other than the regular army shall be in all respects on the same footing as to pay, allowances and PENSIONS as officers and en. listed men of corresponding grades and length Of service in the regular army"
 UNFAIRNEsS IS CHARGED
 The Disabled Emergency Officers Union is pointing out that the only pension allowed officers of the regu- lar army for disability is retirement pay and it is claimed that congress said in the selective service act that the emergency officers were to re- ceive the same treatment. It Is on this point that volunteers are mak- ing their fight. which has become

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?

THE USE OF THE"

THIS little word, which Is called \ by grRmmRriHns the definite arti- cle, Is often misused, being placed in sentences where 1t does not belong, and being left out where it should be used. Often such misuse causes misunderstar ling of the meaning of the writer or speaker. For example, suppose you say, The president and secretary of the lodge attended the meeting" This is correct If the of fees of president and secretary are united in one person; that Is. If there Is one man who Is both president and secretary. But If there are two men. one of whom Is the president and the other Is the secretary, the sentence should read, The president and the secretary of the lodge attended the meeting" The article should be re- peated; then there Is no room for mis- understanding the speaker or the writer.
 When we say, The black and white horse." we mean one horse which Is marked with the two coIors: but when we say. "'rhe black horse and the white horse" we mean two horses, one black and one white
