HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
BY G. N. LURE
Common Errors In English and
How to Avoid Them
ITO ENJOY POOR HEALTH"

THIS Is one Of the incorrect phrases
i which have somehow crept into
common usage in the English language,
although q moments thought will
show the speaker or writer that it is
absurd to say that q person "enjoys'
poor health. ITO enjoy" means ito
experience joy or pleasure in; receive
pleasure from the possession or use
Of or participation in; delight in"
(Standard Dictionary. Why, then,
should person say, II have enjoyed
poor health during the past year?"
You can enjoy only that which brings
you pleasure or profit; and surely Ill
health brings neither.
OF course, it is quite proper to say,
II have enjoyed good health" since
good health, being the greatest of
human blessings, is to be appreciated
and enjoyed.
A similar error It to be "agreeably"
disappointed. IF you are disappointed,
the experience cannot be agreeable.

Building contracts awarded dur
ing September in the twenty-seven
Northeastern States, according to
the F. w. Dodge Company
amounted to s2461S6,00 This Is
not only the largest monthly total
that has been reached this year, but
il is also the largest September
figure on record.
The September total shows an in
crease of 11h per cent over the
August figure: whereas. during the
ten-year period previous to 1921,
the average September figure is
14h per cent less than the average
August figures.
Although the greatest increase in
September was evident in the New
York territory, comprising the
Pittsburgh and Chicago districts,
New England. the Northwestern
States and the Middle Atlantic
States showed the usual seasonal
decline in September.
Residential building still leads
among the various classes Of con-
struction. amounting to sss303, 900
in September. This figure repre-
sents SO per cent OF the total Sep
tember construction.
OF even greater Significance at
the present time is the increase in
volume Of business buildings. The
September figure was s41.25s.00
the largest monthly total on this
class since June, 1920. Business
buildings represented II per cent Of
the September total. Construction
was started on a number of long
deferred projects of this kind IN
September.
Public works and utilities
amounted to s35.414.000 in Septem-
Der, or II per cent of the total:
educational buildings amounted to
s26.45e.o0O, or IL per cent Of the
total.

Mulberry's New Paper

The first issue of The Mulberry Times reached our exchange desk this morning. It IS q neWsy, elght-page paper published by the well.known. hustling Ed. j. Higgins, who for several years ran the Scranton Independent in Logan county. and later estab- llshed the Branch Argus in this county.
 The Times will succeed for three reasons. MT. Higgins never pnb- fishes anything but a well-edited, progressive paper which shows he Is above average in the mechanical skill which lends so much to Il papers success. Then he puts in 36 hours a day at his work. which ia q habit necessary to succeed with country news paper. The third reason is that he is in one of the best towns in the state. whose enterprising business men recognizes the ben eiIts of newspaper and are will ing to give t the necessary lInanclal support to make It q success, and were without a news paper through no fault of theirs.
 We wish Mr. Higgins the sue cess he so richly deserves.
