HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
; How to Avoid Them
"HEALTHY" AND "HEALTHFUL.'

THERE is a distinct difference in
l. the meaning of these two words,
and the distinction should be made by
all who desire to speak and write cor
rectly. Healthy" means possessing or
enjoying health or its effects; as, "a
healthy person" or "a healthy cOndi-
ton" But "healthful' means promot-
ing health, or adding to it, or preserv-
ing it. Thus, we say that a healthy
person is the product of healthful sur
roundings. 'The finances of the coun-
try are in healthy condition. -
''Healthful living is conducive to
length Of life"
A correspondent of a newspaper
wrote, "Are plants in a sleeping room
healthy?" 1t was evident that she
meant, "Does the presence of plants
in a sleeping room affect the health
of the occupant Of the room?" OF
course, plant, in a sleeping room or
elsewhere, may or may not be healthy
and its presence in a room may or
may not be healthful for the human
occupant.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WHEN HE CALLS.

Practice in time becomes second nature.
Anon.
IN A MOTION picture recently pro-
l. duced, the charming young actress
impersonating a New York society girl
receiving the call of one Of her men
friends takes the callers hat and coat
from him as he enters the hall. Now
as a matter Of fact no girl who knew
social usage would do that. OF course,
if the man were aged or otherwise too
feeble to dispose of them himself, she
would. Otherwise, if there is no serT-
ant at hand to take them from him, the
young woman would simply show him
where the hatrack was located. A
young man caller need not be asked
by his hostess to remove his coat. If
a maid comes to the door he should re-
move his coat in the hall after he has
taken off his hat and give them to the
maid or hang them on the hatrack be-
fore going into the reception room or
drawing room. If the young woman
receives q caller in a sitting room
above stairs he should leave his outer
things in the downstairs hall before as
cending.
The American girl should always eX-
tend her hand to The young man caller
when he calls, if he has asked to see
her. It was an old-time courtesy al
ways to say pray be seated" or some
thing of that sort, and the young man
did not take a seat until he had been
so requested. Now, however, we do
not stand on such formality. The young
man takes a seat after his hostess has
been seated, but he avoids taking the
most comfortable chair in the room.
The question is often asked by young
women as to whether young men
should be given refreshments when
they call. If they come in the after
noon about four or FIVE it is customary
in large towns to serve tea, which the
hostess dispenses from a tea table in
the drawing room or living room. OF
course, with the majority of young
men. an afternoon call is an impossi-
bIIity and all their calling is done in
the evening. Now hospitality does not
require any refreshments for the eve
ming call; but, especially if the young
man has expressed his intentions OF
coming a certain night, or if there are

1t was moonlight when Mr.. Coon
came to the path that led to his house
in the woods, and as he came to the
brush where Reddy Fox had hidden
his bright tin plate Mr.. Coon saw
something glisten.

When he reached his house he was
surprised to hear deep breathing COM
ing from his bedroom, and not wishing
to get into any trouble, Mr.. Coon
climbed in the pantry window.
He was sitting on the sill listening,
when the. moonlight streaming in
showed him two empty shelves.
Mr.. Coon stared, then he scratched
his head. and then he listened, and
then he looked at the tin plate.
By that time he had come to the
conclusion that Reddy Fox had played
a trick on him.
Whether Reddy Fox ever knew who
was to blame for his fright Mr.. Coon
never knew, but when one day Reddy
stopped to speak to Mr.. Coon and
found him eating his dinner from a
tin plate he did not let on he noticed

Mr.. Coon discovered about the flashes
He was eating his dinner, and having
made his tin plate very clean by eat

and the sun striking it made little

way he did 1t. Well. don't see but
what 1 got the best of it, for have
a nice bright plate and he has nothing
to show for his trouble"

MEDICAL SCHOOL CRISIS
Future Of Rosedafe institution De-
ponds Upon Legislative Action.

The life of the state medical school
at Roseda1e, the only remaining in
stitution of medical learning in Kan
sas, depends upon the action of the
present legislature, according to the
report made public today by the state
institutions committee of the house.
Most of the members of the faculty
serve without pay" the report says.
THE members have looked forward to
the time when the development of the
school would justify their efforts. 1t
is not reasonable to expect that this
faculty or any faculty would be willing
to go on indefinitely under present
conditions.
1T is the opinion of your committee
that the life of our medical school de-
ponds upon the action Of this legis-
lature. We recommend that this leg
islature appropriate sufficient money
to add to the appropriation of the last
regular session so as to enable the
state to build central hospital build
ing and central heating plant.
TT was the original intention to
have some free beds at the hospital
for Kansas people, but enough funds
were never available to enable the
management to do this. In order to
keep the hospital going, no free beds
could be maintained.
The hospital accommodates are
not first class. This is especially true
of the children's ward. This ward
is practically a connecting corridor
The living quarters of the nurses are
very poor Library, laboratory and
clinical departments are hardly as
good as second class.
THE medical school is recognized as
a Grade A school. In order to con-
tinue to hold this grade, new buildings
and new equipment are necessary"
The report reviews the action of the
1919 legislature in naming the COVER
nor. lieutenant governor, speaker OF
the house and state business manager
to select a suitable site. A great medi-
cal school can never be built on the
present site according to the commit
tee. The new site costing $65, 700 was
the gift of Rosedale and K. u. friends
and alumni. ~

Those who think that patriotic feel

of war time existence are right, If an
occurrence in Topeka recently is Illus
trative.
In motion picture shows when the

there is no rising with great unanimity
as there was several years ago. But
perhaps the music of the national song
as played, in the movies is not in
spirational in "a dignified way. But

they hear the Star Spangled Banner
and when they even participate in
singing it. Do they?

ity Methodist Sunday school team.
The Oakland-First Presbyterian
game last night started out as if it
would be close and a chance that the
First Presbyterian team might win,
which seemed to be the desire of the
loo or more spectators in the gallery.
The First Presbyterians made the first
two field goals scored and finished the
first half Is to II in their favor. due
principally to the long shots of Sumey
from the center of the field. He made
four and STREET two goals in the first
half from about the centerNof the

Both sides played good fast basket

a little tired, three of their players
having hurried to the Y. NJ. C. A. from
the Oakland high school. where they
had just played game with Mayetta
team.
In the second half, however. Oak
land started off with sprint due to
the fast team work of Brighton, Smith

lead of four field goals. which they
kept till the end of the game.
