RAISING situation than the manager of

live in.
1t was the appointed hour, but the
lecturer did not appear. The audience
was beginning to show signs of impa-
tience.
Suddenly the manager made his APP
pearance on the platform.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said, In
apologize tones, 81 am sorry to have
to inform you that the lecture on How
to Keep Fit will have to be postponed
owing to the unexpected indisposltioM

Infinitives and the Axe.

There are some men who would nc
more split an infinitive than they
would split their fathers head with an
axe, and who, when anybody else
splits one, split their sides; there are
others who, on occasion, will as cheer.
fully split an infinitve as a soda.
Far be it from me to any longer
than l am bound dwell on a subject
on which people are apt to SO violently
differ. But it is, feel, my duty to
briefly confess that there frequently
are places in which splitting an infini-
tive secures an additional emphasis
which could not be secured without the
split and places in which an infinitive
that Is not split make one at once con-
scious that the author has tried to, at
all costs, avoid split infinitive with
the result that his expression seems
strained.
Il seldom split an infinitive. when
do shall not feel called upon to ex-
plain why / do.'-From Life ano

The ordinance by Mr.. Jones of East
Baton Rouge merging the Railroad
commission into a Public Service Com.
mission is also fixed as special order
for Tuesday. Chief interest centers
in the provisions making the commits
sioners appointive and requiring them
to reside at Baton Rouge. Amend

elective system and striking out the
clause requiring the commissioners TO
move to the state capitol.
Friends of Railroad Commissioner
Huey P. Long claim that these two
provisions were inserted to get rid OF
him. Supporters of the committee or.

The committee on agriculture held a
hearing to consider the ordinance In

New Orleans Dock Board has objected
to the committee plan on the ground
that It might interfere with the

gives the State Board of Agriculture
