HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"cAN" N MAY.

HE two auxiliary verbs "can" and
i may are frequently confused.
"Can" Is used to express power or
possibility; that is, it means to be
able to do or to have the power OF
doing something. May" expresses
permission or probability; that Is, ID
indicates the permission or the right
to do something. Thus, the pupil may
incorrectly ask of the teacher, "Can 1
speak to my seatmate?" and the
teacher may reply, Eyes, you can
speak to him." (meaning that the ques-
tioner has the power or the ability to
do so), but you may not do So"
(meaning that the teachers permits
sion is withheld). "Can you lend me
a dollar?" the chronic borrower might
ask, and the reply might be, "Yes, I
can lend you one, but / will not"
Grammarians make a similar dis
tinction in the use of "could" and
would" when the past tense or the
subjunctive is employed.

AnIs was TOO much to bear. Fluff
walked to the edge Of the pond an
put n little foot in the cold water
You don't have to get your feather
wet" said Duckie. you do MOI nee
to dive for things as we do; JUS
swim like this
Like this" was very easy TO
Duckie, because he was a duck AM
had the right sort of feet, but whel
poor little Fluffy waded in she wa'
soon futtering and tapping about il
the most helpless manner, too fal
from the bank to get back.
Peep, peep. peep!" cried poor
frightened little Fluffy. 81 don't like
this cold water and l am gettins
soaked. l know / shall go right to the
bottom of this dreadful black pond in
a minute. Peep, peep, peepl"
Duckie and his brothers and sisters
began to swim away, for they were
frightened now at what they had done.
and If it had not been for Rover Dog
who jumped in and saved Fluffy by
picking her up in his big mouth, she
would never have seen her mother
again.
Il saw you running away with the
Dwellings," said Rover, land I thought
you would get into trouble, so l fol-.
lowed you cannot SWIM"
81 know I can't now, but I thought
l could" peeped Fluffy weakly, after
Rover had gently rolled her over in
the grass and dried her feathers.
When Rover and Fluffy reached the
barnyard Mrs. Leghorn was clucking
loudly for her lost chick.
Here she is" said Rover, "and ]
advise you TO be a little more watch
full in the future if you wish to bring
up all your family. This chick was
trying to swim when / found her."
Poor Mrs. Leghorn just tumbled over
from fright and it took Mrs. White
Hen and Mrs. Black Hen some time
before they could get her to a her
dinner.
But no one had to watch Fluffy
that. She had learned that chick
ems cannot swim even If ducklings
can, and when they call her "fraidy
chick" Fluffy just looks at their feet
and they stop calling her names

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DUN."

IKE "boycott," 'JaZZ." "bun-
IL combe" and a number OF
other words which are now ac-
knowledged members of the
English FAMILY, dun had it's
origin in a man of that name-a
certain John Dun, who was con-
stable in England during the
early part of the last century.
Dun, as might be supposed,
was a past master of his profess
sion, a successful collector of
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
callous for him to prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment in one way or another,
One of the constable's pet
schemes was to call upon a
debtor twice, and on each of his
first two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then, if
the debtor still refused to pay
and there was no doubt that OBJ
legation should be met, Dun
would adopt the stratagem of
dressing in some outlandish cos
tume-a scarlet cloak or a pair
of green tights-so as to make
himself as conspicuous as pos
sible. Thus attired and ringing
a bell in order further to pro-
claim the reason for his visit, he
would return, and it was seldom
that the debtor withstood more
than one of these public an
nouncements of his delinquency.
Because Constable Dun was
so successful in the collection
Of money due it became common
In such cases to say, You'll
have to send Dun for your mon
ey" or you'll have to Dun him
to get It," and the expression
persisted long after the con-
stable himself was dead and for
gotten.

whats in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history; mean
ing; whence 1t was derived; Significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
ELEANOR

II LEANOR, signifying light, is de
who, according to Greek m~ytholog.ca
legend, drove his flaming chariot
around The universe day by day. Heiios
furnished the Teutonic adjective meal
ing bright or clear, which eventually
evolved Helen, and later Ellen, through
abolition of the aspirate.
The Latinized form of Ellen was
Elena, q feminine name that won great
popularity In Italy. In the Romaneslue
population of Provence the name be-
came Alienor. This so seized upon
poetic fancy that the name received all
the homage the langue doc could pay.
Aliena was the mex step in the ev)lu-
tion and the first famous woman so
called was termed Eleanor by the
French king who married her, anil 1T
was size who became the grim Eleanor
of the dagger and bowl, the AquitaLian
grandmother who handles words with
Constance of Brittany In S~hakespea-e's
king John"
Her daughter carried the name to
Castillo, where she became Leonor.
Her descendant, the daughter Of San
Fernando, brought the name back to
England as our good Queen Eleanor"
and gave it renown which largely coun-
teracted the bad impression left by
the PrOvencal Alienor, wife of Henry
III. Eleanor was a popular royal
name under the Plantagenets. 1t was
later spelled Elinor and sometimes FL
linor. Dame Eleanor Davies gave the
name a quaint notoriety by construct
ing out of her name the prophetic ana
gram: Reveal, o David" But her
contention was disproved by Arch
bishop Laud, who showed that the
words also spelled "Never so mad q
ladie." Italy calls the name Flea
nora Germany makes her Eleanor,
and Ireland. Eileen.
Eleanor's gem Is the jacinth, which
Is a talIsman against accident or dis
ease. 1t is said to pale in color at the
approach of danger, and Is proof
against lightning. Sunday Is Eleanor's
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

Mrs. Leghorn's brood, and so one
morning when Duckie called to her tC
play with him Fluffy went, although
She knew that her mother had told
all the chicks that the way the duck
lings had of playing was not good for
chicks.
I'VE are going down to the pond
said Duckie. my brothers and sisters
are far down the road now, but we
can catch them"
OF course, Fluffy did not know what
n pond was like, but she did not in
tend TO let Duckie think he knew more
than she did. so she went along.
1t seemed a long way to the pond,
but Fluffy was brave and she walked
along behind the waddling d~ucklings,
but when they reached the pond and

THE WOMAN'S CLUB
By JESSIE ROBERTS

1" HE. Importance for the business
L or professional woman Of be-
longing to a club is a real one. Wom-
ems work both in business and the
professions is still in a fluid condition.
Changes are in progress, new stand
ards are being established, n the
effect of the vote is being felt. To
get the benefit of these changes. a
woman needs TO know what is being
done In her special neighborhood and
by her group of workers. There is no
better way Of doing this han by join
ing a club, especially a club affiliated
with the Federation Of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
1t is not only the direct contact
with other women working in your
w field that benefits you in such
a club, but the contact with women
In other branches. With that comes q
widening of opportunity. The woman
not happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club &C
quaintances and club activities. She
is constantly aware of what. Is going
on, and she sees what is being done
by other women. Together with them
she can direct her effort to putting
through proposed schemes for better
ing the standing of women earners
A good business club for Is
an asset to any community. If there
is no such club in your community,
start one. Get the other women to-
gether, get in touch with the feder-
alton, and start your club. 1t will be
an assistance to every business and
professional woman in your town.
