HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N Lurie
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid<Them
TO "RAIsE" CHILDREN.

~ RAMMARIANS generally are
" agreed that it is not correct to
apply the term "raise" to the rearing
or education or bringing up Of chill
dren. The verb raise" is applied with
propriety only to, crops or cattle, never
to human beings "She raised fam
lily of eight children" says charity
report; it should have said, "She
reared" or "she brought up" The
Standard dictionary ridicules the ex-
preston, attributed to a Southern
county, "She raised thirteen head of
children"
The term brought up" is the more
modern Of the two; the term reared
is older The misuse of the term
raised" is colloquialism that is COM
mon in some of the Southern and
Western states.
Some authorities criticize the use
of the verb grow in connection with
crops, asserting that we should not
say, "We grow wheat on our farm, .
but should say, I'VE raise wheat"

Harvest Moon.

Sir John Frederick William Her
schel, the great English physicist AM
astronomer, said that the full moon
which happens on or nearest to the
21st of September is called the har-
vest moon. At or about the time of
harvest in the north temperate zone,
the sun in its usual course is ap-
proaching the celestial equator, which
It crosses from north to south on Sep
TENDER %. On that date it sets close
to the western point of the horizon.
If it happens to be then also full
moon, the moon rises that evening
as the sun sets, and it at its rising
opposite the sun, or close to the exact
eastern point Of the horizon. Thus it
begins to give light at sunset and con-
tinues to do so until sunrise, when it
sets opposite the sun, just as the lat
ter rises. This arrangement holds
good without any great change for
several days, so that there is practi-
cally no darkness, especially if the
weather is fine The full moon which
thus Eliminates the autumn nights Is
called the harvest moon.

surprise, he found he could squeeze
himself PARKWAY through, far enough
to reach the fruit.
1t did not taste quite so nice as he
had expected IT would, but all piggieS
think stolen fruit sweet, and after he
had eaten one or two he began to like
the green apples.
There were plenty within his reach,
and he ate and ate, never thinking OF
stopping until his mother, awakening
from her nap, saw his hind legs. and
jumped up with a grunt.
Then Billy Pig tried to jump, too,
but to his surprise, though he wiSgIed
and squirmed, he could not move.
He had eaten so many apples he
could not get back through the hole,
and though his mother picked and
pulled, he was held fast
Such squealing and grunt-n g never
was heard. The brother piggies did
the squealing, though none of them
could outsqueal Billy Pig, and Mrs.
Pig grunted until the farmer came
running to see what had happened.
He tried to pull Billy Pig out by the
hind feet, but it was no use, and he
had to call the hired man to help
before the boards could be pried apart
and Billy Pig set free.
Such scOlding as his mother gave
him he had never had before, and he
was glad to creep into his bed without
his supper, but he did not sleep. for
green apples are not good for even
pigs to eat. just as his mother told
him, and Billy Pig had such a pain
and cramp that he never again want
ed to eat green apples.

Million Pounds.

LONDON.-The British admiralty's
announcement Saturday that it had
ordered the cessation of all work on
the four warships of the super Hood
type evoked a chorus of approval by
prominent authorities throughout
England.
Vice Admiral Ballard, in an ar

estimates that it will result in an
ultimate saving of 100000 pounds
sterling. Moreover, he said it means
the abandonment of design en-
bodying the experiences of the late
war in favor of a design to be
adopted decade hence and that if
is conceivable that the decision NAV
lead to the entire disappearance of
capital ships.
