HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR
Armenian Children Slow In Recover
lnp From Terrors to Which They
Were Long Subjected.

According to Dr. Mabel Elliott, head
Of the American Woman's Hospitals.
who Is now serving with the Near
East Relief at Ismid. Turkey, a large
number Of the Armenian children
under her care are suffering from en-
larged hearts or other forms of heart
disease, due to the constant fear to
which they have been prey during the
past few years.
Relief workers in the Near East
have long been familiar with the men
tai petrifaction due to the terrible ex-
perience through which these children
have passed, most Of them having for
gotten everything of their past, theii
names, their homes and their language
included, but this is the first instance
that has been recorded Of the effect OF
fear on their hearts.
The cure which DR.. Elliott Is prac
ticing with these children Is com
bfnation of mental and medical. First
Of all, they are made to realize that
they are entirely out of danger and
among friends. Then they are put or
a special diet of nOurishing foods an6
certain exercises are prescribed. The
results so far have been remarkably
successful.

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS
Bad English. is the Contention
of Noted Writer.

Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings,
and especially he hates inexact words.
He quotes from a London daily and
holds up to ridicule 1.-THE King and
queen were present at first night In
q London theater last evening for the
initial time In their reign" His COM
ments are instructive, Malcolm COwley
writes in the Literary Review:
ut Is quite a first-rate example
of bad English. The culprit, whose
name is well known to myself and
other members of the London literary
police force, evidently thought that 1t
would be inelegant to use the same
word twice In two lines; so he sub
stftuted initial for first in the second
line. Perhaps he had never re-
flected that words express ideas. and
that therefore il precise idea re-
ours, the precise word for that idea
ought to recur. The idea expressed
by the word first is precise enough,
and no other English word means what
first means. Certainly initial does
not mean first Still, the man meant
well. His misfortune was that, hav-
ing picked up good notion without
examining 1t, he imagined that repe-
tition was inelegant in itself. Repe-
tition is only wrong when it Is uninten-
tional, and when, being horrid to the
ear, 1t is reasonably and honestly
avotdahlp On the other hand rene
tition, used with tact and courage, may
achieve not merely elegance but posi-
tive brilliance."
Here Is Benefits style both In
theory and practice, and the practice
agrees with the theory. The passage
Is not merely clear, but 1t Is brilliantly
repetitive. The trouble Is that Bennett
often goes out of his way to repeat
himself.

Roses for Every Section.

The Department of Agriculture In
q rose zone map shows how frOsts linn.
1t rose culture in certain sections. Tea
roses by this map can be grown
throughout the South and In California.
or wherever the frosts are over In
March. Hybrid tea roses are safe far
Their north to southern Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska. New
Mexico and Arizona, where the frosts
are over in April. Hybrid perpetuals
and some hardy specimens can be
grown in the northern states where
the last frost is In May. but where
frosts occur during the summer. as
in parts Of the northwest, success with
outdoor roses is difficult.
This schedule Is based on the suppo-
sltion that roses In the districts as
signed to them as safe will need no
special care In the winter. With win
ter coverings Of earth, straw and bur-
lap, many roses will resist frost and
cold. Some hybrid tea roses. for ex'
ample, can be grown In Minnesota and
Massachusetts,.
There are thousands Of varieties OF
roses, and several hundred new ones
are produced each year, SO that there
are roses adaptable to practically ev-
cry part Of the country.
