OVER THESE, TOO!

School Topics" of Cleveland,
o.. has rounded UP a whole bushel
basketful (almosD of words we
often mispronounce, and is aston
ishing a good many boys and girls
by showing them that they are all
wrong in some OF their pronouncia-
tons, and how they should say the
word correctly.
Here are a few samples:
hypodermic-The ~" is short
Cooled you0. Pronounce the first
syllable ~hip."
gala-"Gay-la," accent the first
syllable, and make it sound happy.
harass-Strong on the first syl-
liable. Both "a's," short as in that"
hnance-Accent the second syl-
liable. The a" may be long or
short.
patron-Long "a" always.
apparatus-The third "a" is long,
as in "ate'
licorice-Be careful OF the last
syllable--it's "iss."
Are there few surprises for you
IN that little list? If you want
some more, just take out your old
reliable dictionary and turn to such
words as adverse and envelope"
and "cleanly." 1t pays to be correct
in your speech.

Give each player slip OF paper

players suggest letters OF the alpha

Then everybody puzzles his head

using the ten letters, in their proper
order, as the initial letters of the

For example, let's suppose the
