oasis of several billions, when the new
budget system is once in good working

Gen. Dawes, however, is handicapped

n relatively small matters. because he
las nothing to do with the broad govern
mental policies which shape the larger
expenditures. Thus he has Topped off

department of agriculture, and the saw

saw the box he flew down in a hurry
to look it over.
"Poof," he said, with q toss of his
saucy head, "it won't hurt you" and
he gave it a poke which turned the
box over and there on one side Jack
saw a little hook which held the
cover.
All three animals moved back q lit

a stick in one hand
The funny little fellow jumped so
hard that his spring gave way and
up he went with a bound into the
lower branch of the tree, where he
caught on a twig by the back of his
red coat.
All the animals ran to a place of
safety and Jack Blackbird flew to a
nearby bush to see what had hap
pened.
Mrs. Bluejay soon told them, for
she lived in that tree and her peace
had been disturbed by what had hap
pened.

Then down to the lower limb flew
angry Mrs. BIuejay, and, giving the
little creature with a crooked nose a
vicious peck. down he fell right on
his face, while all the animals, as
well as Jack Bluejay, went home as
fast as they could.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT2
BY c. N. Lurie
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"THEM," AS AN ADJECTIVE.

IT HE use Of such expressions as 81
= 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 unconsciousIy 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 a noun, instead of
those" or these" Therefore, II saw
them boys" and similar expressions,
should be Il saw those boys, or 'T
saw these boys" etc.
