Speaking of spelling, the Star is oc-
casionally criticised by the hypercrit-
ical for the shape in which it hands
out number Of words. For instance,
the other day, party tried to call US
down for using led and pied instead
of lead and plead Now, led and pied
are past tense of lead and plead, as
anybody can see by consulting an I'M
abridged dictionary, but to write and
print lead and plead has become a
fad, which has usurped correctness.
We learned to spell them that way
some fifty odd years ago, and continue
to do so, as we do not see any use of
sticking an extra letter into each
word, spelling the pronunciation, and
sometimes leaving the reader in doubt
as to whether the word is in the past
tense or the present. We are not,
however, entirely stuck on oldfash-
toned spelling. When we learned to
spell, such words as color and labor
were spelt colour and labour, plow was
spelt plough, and in hundreds of other
words there were superfuous letters.
This was according to the English
spelling, but about fifty years ago the
publishers of Webster's dictionary and
spelling book proceeded to reform
most of these words, and the writer
heartily welcomed the reform and did
what he could to help it along. For
twenty years the Star has spelled thru
and tho instead of through and
though, and found it saved lot of
trouble, especially in setting up head
lines. We don't see why refer, defer,
occur and a number of other words
they are heightened to referred, defer
ed, etc., and leave the superfiuous let
ter out when our linotype operator al
lows US, and we would change phi to
in every word where it occurs if the
same tyrant would give gracious per-
mission. The postoffice department
decided several years ago that Okla
waha should be spelt Oklawaha, and
We have steadily supported the gov
eminent in this, as we do in every
thing else we approve of. We believe
in phonetic spelling, provided said
spelling is systematized and not left
to the individual ideas of freaks or
delinquencies of the ignorant. Eng
lish spelling is more clumsy than that
Of any other language. The reason is
that when English books were first
written, the work was done by scribes,
mostly monks, who in order to make
their calling more difficult and further
out of reach of the common people
adopted the most difficult mode of
spelling, in many words putting in
such combinations of letters that they
could be properly pronounced only by
the initiated With their usual adora-
| ton of precedent, the English have
tagged along after them for a thou
sand years, and while the Americans
have made some improvement, they
have left room for much more-which
will surely come.

SPELLING

There are contradictory ways of
spelling the street commonly referred
to as the Anthony road. A recent city
may, and many city people, spell it
"Daugherty" street. The correct
spelling is "Dougherty," and people
had better get wise to it, as incorrect
spelling might spoil deed to land
some day.

I. PRODUCTION INCREASESB BEGIN
 WITH OCTOBER 1
Ensley Mill to Turn Out 5000 Tons of Rails, With a 50 Per Cent Gain at the
 Plate Mill

The Tennessee company will usher In the month of October by getting back to its weekly production of 5000 tons of rails at the Ensley mill. That Is the schedule for the week.
 The company will also put on sddt- tionai capacity at the tie-plats mill increasing Its weekly production hy 50 per cent.
 The car situation caused the corn- pany to drop to rail production of 5000 tons during three weeks. 1t has gone back to the old pace and, juds- ing by the report of Crders received, the rail mill will keep going at that pace for some time to come.
 All the finishing mills are on double turn this week, including the Bessemer plate, guide and bar mills, the Fairfield structural and tio-plate mills and the Ensley rail and bloom ing mills. Tho ingot mill will pro duce as near 100 per cent as condition of furnaces from day to day allows.
 The new No. blast furnace is do- ing very well with production of more than 500 tons a day. Whom 1t gets really warmed up, there will be many days of 600 tons production.
 The Southern railways order for 40, 900 tons and that of tho Southern Pacific for 10000 tons of rails for 1923 are samples of the bookings that have been made by the Tennessee company

IMPERSONATION OF
 FEDERAL PENSION OFFICERS CHARGED

W. c. Graves and F. c. Stone, both Of Birmingham, who were brought here yesterday by Federal Officer William Gray of the department of justice. were arraigned before United States Commissioners Kenneth c. Charlton yesterday afternoon. Their bonds were fixed at S2.000 and $1,500 respectively. Preliminary hearing was set for October 6. At e late hour yesterday they had not furnished bond.
 The men were arrested Friday Fol- lowing complaint of government of- ficials charging them with imperson- ating federal pension officers. Ac- cordinE TO c. ". McPhail, head of the department of justice, Graves and Stone are alleged to have travelled over the state posing as officers of the pension bureau and swindling Spanish and Civil war veterans. Their method, 1t is said, was to approach their prospective victim with the statement that the government was distributing war surplus supplies at greatly reduced prices to all veterans which would be sent them upon res ceipt of the initial cost of shipping the goods. The amount of money al- legged to have been collected was de- termined by the amount of goods de- sired by the victims, officers say It Is claimed that a large number of veterans were defrauded.
 Imm ediately upon the arrival oi the men here, they were taken to Ensley. where they were identified by some of their alleged victims. Frost and heavy rains have cut ir half the normal crop of prunes of the Agen district in France.

SHOALS AND PORT
 DEMENT'S ARE
 DESIRED BY VOTERS

Linking the Muscle Shoals and the port of Mobile developments as the two greatest undertakings now en- gazing the attention of Alabama, voters of the Tennessee valley de- clare that they will leave nothing
 undone that will tend to make both successful In letter to the Alabama seaport committee received in the last day or two, opinion in the north Alabama counties is reported to be almost unanimous for the port amendment and decisive majority in every county is forecasted.
 A large number of prominent mon and women in the Tennessee vallay and other north Alabama counties have volunteered their services to tho seaport committee and pledged them- selves to do whatever is in their power to carry the amendmert through at the November election.
 From central and south Alabama reports equally as encouraging are coming to the state neadquarters of the seaport committee every day. , The revival In business which has now definitely set In brings to tho attention of the people of Alabama the necessity of opening up the easiest and cheapest routes to the markets of the world. This combina- ton. they have learned. is given them through their own, and only, seaport. The fact that the water route be- tween Alabama producing districts
 and the Pacific coast enabled a num- Der of Alabama manufacturers to
 keep their plants going through the
 business depression of 1921 and the early part of 1922 has been one of
 the convincing arguments in support
 of the seaport amendment.

He's Doing Fine Work
 Down in Old Louisiana

gather facts that, conveyed home, will help spread the gospel of Boy Scout ing.
 Service and Leaders
 '~rhe keynote of tho whole situa- tion-the cry-was service to boy hood. And tho need for leaders. more leaders and more efficient ones, was stressed. One of the most impressive hours of the conclave was when, about giant camp fire, Dan Beard, national scout commissioner, was presented with the gold eagle. This Is the highest rank that ever has been conferred in the annals of scouting. and was given to Beard because of his notable service to scouting, both at home and in foreign lands. He is the most conspicuous figure in scout work of the present day"
 MT. Gibson said the Y. Nj. camp was . most adequate and beautiful spot.
 Stili Loves Birmingham
 He Is very happy in his work in Alexandria, but his heart. of course, always must be warm for Birming- ham, because Birmingham is home. He formerly resided In Ensiey, where he is personally known to It's hun dreds of scouts, as well as to scouts all over the city.
 He praised Camp Andrews very highly, and related that while the fellows here enjoy cabins for camps, In Louisiana scouts are unable to get the timber, and so the chaps must camp In tents. 'But we are sure that we have as many thrills and exciting experiences as Birmingham fellows, even though we don't have the priv ilege of building log houses"
