HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. NIURIE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
sort OF"

THIS expression, sort Of" like
l. kind Of is called by authorities
on English IAN American provincial
ISM" which means that il is used in
some parts of America and has been
used there for many years. Strictly
speaking. the two expressions, sort
Of and kind Of are not errors, but
certainly they are not in favor among
careful users of English, and should
be avoided. Especially is this true
when they become "sorter" and kind
err" as they are prone to become.
Then they are certainly vulgarisms, to
be avoided.
Il felt sort of ILL.," or 81 felt kind of
ill.," we hear. 1t is better to say Il
felt somewhat i'll" or II felt rather
ill.,"
OF course, the word sort and the
word kind have legitimate uses, as
nouns, but in such cases the word
must be preceded b." m article. Thus,
one may say. with ! ropriety, Il felt a
sort Of Illness or Il felt kind of
illness

er destroying worms, so he can af-
ford TO give the Rocks a few vege-
tables in payment.
OF course, Johnnie Rock did not say
a word to any of his relatives about
moving away from the family trees.
He just quietly one morning went
away and at night time he did not
return.
Old Grandfather Rock was the first
to discover Johnnie'S absence when he
was counting noses before he went to
sleep.
"Where is Johnnie?" he asked.
Watch him tomorrow when you see
him and find out where he is" COM
manded Grandfather Rock.
The next night at bedtime every
Rock knew what had happened; John
ME Rock had stolen away to another
tree and made a nest for himself.
"Let everyone be at that tree in the
early morning." said Grandfather
Rock, as he tucked his head under his
wing. BE up early, every one of you"
There was very little noise in the
trees the next morning and silently
Grandfather Rock led all of the fam
ily to the tree by the field where John
ME had made q new home.
But when they reached there they
were far from quiet; such a chattering
Johnnie never had heard before. He
pOked his head out, but he did not
have a chance to get out of his new
home by himSelf-he was helped by a

cient cooking.
Good NutritiVe Value.
With adequate cooking the nutritive
value of corn is about the same as
that of wheat. Corn contains large
amount of sugar and starch which
supply the body with heat and energy.
II also has a good deal of protein
which builds up the body tissues. 1t
is not, however, rich in minerals, need
ed in bone formation. Experiments
have shown that corn is about as di-
gestible as wheat and that 30 per cent
of its dry matter is absorbed in the
process of digestion.
Possibly II does not become America
to be too impatient with the European
lack of appreciation of corn. The high
nutritive value of corn is realized all
over this country and we have been
eating it ever since the Pilgrims, by
accident, dug up some seed corn bur-
led by the Indians and got them to
explain the growth and uses of the
grain. Further back than that, Column
bus Is said to have found corn grow
ing over here, and the Aztecs in their
great civilization used it. This cOun-
try has had plenty of time to study
corn and it's uses. Yet 1t is estimated
that less than 10 per cent of our big
corn crops is eaten by people, whereas
practically all Of the wheat is turned
into fiour.-Frederic J. Haskin in Chi
cago News.

Teach Europe
Corn Is Food

ferred rye when wheat was not to be
had.
Americans have felt that this dislike
was due mainly TO ignOrance-nOt
many Europeans know much about
corn and those who have tasted 1t
more often than not were prejudiced
by bad cooking.
There is a story along this line
about Carlyle and Emerson. Emerson
wrote to his friend, Carlyle, recon-
mending corn as a food and saying
that he had sent a package so that
the Carlyle family might try it. Car
lyle wrote back politely to thank Mr..
Emerson, but to say that after several
experiments they really did not find
the flavor of corn meal agreeable. The
correspondence stopped here until Mrs.
Emerson could copy Off some of her
best recipes. Then the Carlyles were
asked to try again. They did, and
wrote back enthusiastically to know
where they could get more of the
American delicacy.
Believe Europe Would Like It.
This incident, from the letters Of
Carlyle and Emerson, is one of the
grounds on which Americans base
their conviction that Europe would like
corn if it could ever be persuaded to
give il a fair trial. The department
of agriculture once sent demonstrators
and lecturers to Europe to enlighten
the different countries as to the posi-
bilities of Indian corn. Neither elo-
quence nor samples Of corn disguised
in griddle cakes, mullins, gingerbread
or corn pone aroused any enthusiasm.
Mostly those present did not even come
forward TO get the samples.
Because of such experiences, when
the food shortage began to afflict
Europe, the United States did not send
corn TO the rescue. You may remem-
Der that Herbert Hoover urged us to
eat more corn and save wheat because
Europe could not very we'll be taught
to eat a new kind of food in so critical

JOHNNIE RUNS AWAY

q! their family tree, or trees, and Will
not allow a young Rock to 20 away
from those trees
Now, young Johnnie Rock thought
all this fuss about keeping with the
family very silly, and one day he de
cided he would build a nest in tree
close to field where there were
plenty of grubs and also where he
could occasionally have a taste Of
vegetables.
Johnnie Rock does not destroy very
much; he might help himself TO a
potato or little corn once in a while,

father Rock in cross voice, land we

Poor trembling Johnnie had to
watch his nest pulled in pieces before
his very eyes. but what they were to
do To him Interested him much more,
for the family looked very cross.
Grandfather Rock first told Johnnie
what grave oirenSe il was for a
young Rock not to respect his family
trees and go away by himself and
then every one began to chatter.
Pick him hard" said some. Beat
him with our wings" said others,
while others cried, Death to the de-
SerIer!"
Poor Johnnie almost fell off the
limb where he sat with fright and his
feathers shook with his trembling.
What would have happened to John
ME he never knew, for at that moment
Grandmother Rock spread her wings
and-fiaw to branch above the others.
Give him one more chance" she
said "he is very young and am sure
he did not know how terrible it is
for one of our family to so by him

And so after great deal of arguing
and chattering il was decided To give
Johnnie another chance, which you
may bessure he was very glad TO have.

CLARA HAMoN GETS $4,000

A settlement was affected recently
by which Clara Smith Hamon re-
linquished all claims to the estate OF
Jake L. Hamon, of whose alleged
murder she was recently acquitted by
an Oklahoma jury, it was announced
by her attorney, j. B. Champion, of
Los Angeles, Calf.
An agreement" the attorney said,
'Shas been signed between Frank Z.
Ketch, administrator of the estate Of
Jake L. Hamon, and Clara Smith
Hamon, whereby, in consideration Of
$4,000 cash, she relinquishes all
claim to the estate of Hamon, the
agreement recognizing as valid GER
tain rights which the records show
are to be vested in her.
these are specified royalties and
leases in the Hewitt Oil Company in
the Healdton oil field of Central
county, and other oil interests in
Stephens, Center and Cotton counties,
from which Clara Smith Hamon is
now drawing revenue. These inter
ests are recognized in documents
signed by Jake Hamon."
The attorney said "present reve-
nues" from these holdings were
ample to take care Of his client.
