HOW DO YOU SAY TT?
By c. N. Luris
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
THEM" AS AN ADJECTIVE.

THE use Of such expressions as II
i saw them boys there" is, of
course, one Of which persons who ex-
ercise even a moderate degree Of care
in speaking, would not be guilty. Yet
the use Of "them" as an adjective is
not limited by any means to those
who are uneducated or careless in
other respects. Perhaps this is due,
as are SO many other examples Of in
elegant or faulty speech, to the effect
Of constant repetition. A person of
education hears others employ the ex-
preston, them boys" or "those
kind" and similar ungrammatical ex-
pressions. and falls unconsciously in
to the same errors.
Them" Is a pronoun, third person,
plural, objective case form of "they,"
and should never be employed as an
adjective, before noun, instead Of
'those" or ''these." Therefore, II saw
them boys" and similar expressions,
should be II saw those boys, or II
saw these boys" etc.

WINDBREAK FOR PROTECTION
Should Be Located on Side Of Building
and Yards Against Which Pre-
vaiiinq Winds Blow.

Windbreaks for protection of the
home and buildings should be located
on the side of the structures and the
stock-feeding yards against which the
prevailing winter winds blow, say for
est specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture. If mar
row windbreak OF only a few rows is
planted, 1t should be several rods dis
tant from the building or yard. Snow
drifts under the Zee Of such a wind
break and lies deep around buildings or
feed lot close to 1t. This drifting may
be partly prevented by planting two
narrow windbreaks parallel to each
other, about two rods apart. Snow
then will drift into, and for the most
part be held in, this intervening space.
Windbreaks for crop protection
should be arranged to protect the crop
from the most damaging winds, which
usually come In the summer. AS eff
cient windbreaks give protection along
the surface for distance of from Is
to 20 times their height, the intervals
between them should be about Is or 20
times the height of the trees at their
maturity.

BEAUTY FOODS

A SIDE from the question Of which
1 - foods make for fat or for slen-
derness, Is the question of which foods
make for beauty. Certain fruits and
vegetables do have a direct effect upon
the looks, and the woman who is try
ing to improve herself would do well
to use them frequently In her diet.
Any food containing olive oil is
usually good for the complexion.
Olive oil itself Is splendid for the
complexion, but it will make fat and
must be avoided by women who do
not wish to gain. The young women

part payment, the breeder then send
ing the grade boar to the butcher. In
their letter to the state associations
the national body points out that
every Berkshire breeder who follows
this suggestion does three things:
He puts Berkshire boar on an ad-
ditiOnal farm
He provides means Of getting
good Berkshire feeder hogs for the
market.
He puts the purebred sire on a
farm where formerly there was a
grade or scrub.
Signs bearing the legend, "Regis-
tered Berkshire boar used on this
farm" will be furnished by the Amer
lean association to all farmers who
take advantage Of this plan.
There is nothing In the plan. say
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, that does
not seem practicable for any other
hog breeders association to use.

Losses Of potatoes in storage can be

day under the bushes and back of the
trees.

Rifles and Gardiner riding slowly down
the road. The two rode close by, and
stopped their horses to drink with
their forefeet in the river. Jim was

thousand conduct the water from the places where
It fell. The tendency is toward sudden freshets Al
ternating with extremely low water. That condi-
ton can be remedied, if at all, only by the ~constric-
ton of elaborate systems Of dams and reservoirs fof
which the powers Of the federal government alone
are adequate.
In the second place, there is, in general. a lack
of adequate terminal facilities for water borne traf-
,fc. A steamboat cannot deliver freight inland. II
the shipment is not destined for . river town it must
be transported part Of the way BY rail. There must
be, therefore, facilities for unloading at docks which
communicate directly with railroad yards. And in
very many places these facilities are lacking. Rail.
road companies, witfNthe very natural desire to keep
the long haul for themselves, have not shown any
strong desire to cooperate with steamboat com.
panies In providing and maintaining joint terminals.
This is one Of the reasons why the water routes have
not been more popular.
The transportation conditions Of the country
are such that there is need for the utilization Of
every facility, and it is to. be hoped that the time 10
not far distant when those Of our rivers which are
really navigable shall. be utilized to the limit for
transportation purposes.

TWO DAYS A WEEK.

John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, in his opening address at the miners con-
vention in Indianapolis, said that the coal miners
of the country had been employed on an average
but two days a week. For this reason, among 9th.
ers, he urged opposition to the reduction of miners
wages.
Two days a week beats the A hour week de-
demanded ~ tie I. vi, W. IS tie Basis for rG harvest !
labor. Obviously, If a man is employed only two
days q week he must get a pretty stiff price for his
working time it he is to live the other Ave days. And,
as the entire earnings of the workman are charge
cost OF coal must be high il the men are to be paid
adequate wages. This is on the assumption that
the statement made by MI. Lewis is correct.
In the mining Of coal there are many conditions
with which the outsider is not familiar, and it is
quite possible for interested persons to make state
11ents accurate which apparently justify them in all
their contentious, but which may be offset by other
statements, equally accurate, as far as they 60, tend
the outsider to base his Judgment on statements
made either by miners lor mine operators, for those
on each side are tryingto justify their own position,
and 1t is possible for either, by only a partial presen-
tation of facts, to create an impression which is
absolutely false.
II is pretty well established, however, that there
is in the coal mining business a great deal of irregr1-
larity Of employment. The statement that for any
considerable period there has been only an average
of two days work a week for the men seems ex-
IRENE But it is understood that there Is a great
deal of idle time. Just whose fault this is is not clear.
It ought to be made clear. And whatever the cause
it is, it should be removed to the utmost limit of the
possibilities. In the long run it is the man who
burns coal who pays for whatever waste attends it's
production.
The coal mining industry is a standard indus
try. The quantity Of coal that will be required in
any year can be foretold with greater accuracy than
The coal is there ready to be mined. The amount
that can be produced within a given time is known.
All the facts are. available. And to say that in such
an industry It is impossible to regulate matters bet
cy. There must be a way Of doing it, and that way
must be found out.

RAPID TRANSIT BY WATER.

a railroad train travels faster than a steamboat
but 2 freight shipment BY rail does not always reach
it's destination more quickly than a similar shipment
by water. On the contrary it has been shown that
water transportation is the more rapid Of the two.
Many comparisons Of the two services have Been
made, and while there is no question that the rail
shipment travels the faster while it IS moving. # IS
art to spend 80 much time in railroad yards and on
