The Right Word
A DIFFICULTY IN SPELLING
(Find the Error in This ArtlcIe)
By CURTIS NICHOLSON


 Harry E. Tullar of Hollywood, Cal, asks {: What rule is there for the order of e and i in spelling!
 In closing his letter he inquiries whether it is correct to speak of "sitting hen.p First sitting hen" is correct. With regard to the inquiry concerning the order of the letters 'e" and "i' in such worfis as believe and decelYe, note that the word Celia may be help to the memory. sIf "c,' precedes the two vowels "e'' and 'i" like it does in ceiling, the order is "e" and then 'i" as in Celia. If ''i" or any other letter pre- cedes them as it does in audience, the order is 'i' and then "e" as in Alice.
 The foregoing guide unfortunately is not entirely reliable, as there are exceptions to the rule. Note the following examples According to rule conceive; perceive; re- ceive; deceive.
 Exceptions Deficient; sufficient; ancient finaneier.
 According to rule achieve; believe; chief /; hosiery
 Exceptions; counterfeit; seize; weird ; deity. .
 What is the solution of the problem? The answer is practice. Use the dictionary ire quently. Write, correct your own spelling and do not become discouraged. Good spoilers are not made in, n day. their ability is the re- suit of years of endeavOr.

Speaking of Canoes

Speaking of Canoes
 4 canoe is n; henrse with thegwheels off and. the body. remoulded and painted bright red, green or Ofange.
 It is sudden demise in quantity produc- tion.
 It is difficult to see why any young man should want to go to heaven in sport shirt and white flannel trousers accompanied by a summer girl of slight acquaintance, yet thou sands of them go in for canoeing every sum- mer.
 Canoeing is one kind of boating never approved by naval engineers or shipping boards. Nobody ever sent out demand for one of these homicide containers irf0a pinch. Old John F. Noah was the wisest man of all time under loose water conditions, and when he was obliged to take lot of dumb companions on cruise the first thing he did was to scratch canoes off his list.
 &h t4t 5fs- -.f The Lord made Adam. Eve was made from one of Adam 8 ribs. The human race multi piled rapidly. There came the great danger of over-population. So man made canoes
 % It was a bright idea. Wars and automo- piles help little, but the canoes really keep the population down where a census man can handle it. The difference between ca noes and war is that in war every occu- pant has a fair chance of seeing his folks again. This is due to the fact you can't rock a war. ss-@
 A canoe is funny specimen of marine architecture. It is built like a skate and looks like a magnified frankfurter with a signed by the same man who originated buzz saws, third rails and leaky gas jets
 
 People who use canoes are the same kind of people who pare corns with "a dull razor and take pills out of medicine cabinets in. the dark. ss.:s
 There is something about the possession of a canoe that makes an occupant 100 per cent. cookoo. The minute he gets into canoe he doesn't care what becomes of him. Neither docs the canoe.
 You've got to be an acrobat to get into a canoe. But you will have no trouble getting out. Any fool can get out of canoe. Nest of the fools do.
 A peculiar thing about canoe is that it is shaped the same at both ends. This is so you'll be as unsafe in one end as another. Rowboats have one end broad so you can step out But with canoes it is different. You're not supposed to step out. You generally go out sitting down.
 Canoes were first used in this country by the Indians. They are used still by the In- dians, but there are more Indians today in America than there used to be. The Indians built their canoes of birch bark. We build them of canvas and put silver handles on them and name plate.
 | <
 This summer the canoe demand is. greater than ever. The canoe factories are working overtime. The same thing counts in the canoe business that counts in all businesses: A niIick turnover.

Would Blow Himself

They were digging n ditch, were Pat and Mike. and it was hard, back-breaking work. Pat handled the shovel end of the team, while Mike swung the pick.
 What would be the first thing ye'd do, Mike, ifs someone left ye q million dollars ?'' Pat suddenly asked his partner.
 Mike strengthened up from his pick, looked at his calloused hands, and thought deeply. Finally his brow cleared.

GREATER CHICAGO

The Chicago Tribune has always been es- pecially readable when discussing the popu- lation of Chicago. It has now created "met- ropolitan district" which has 50-mile ra- dius and covers eleven counties in Illinois, eight in Wisconsin and four in Indiana, the combined inhabitants of which number more than 5,000000. This is the greater Chicago, which some time, says the Tribune, will con tain 20,O00,0O0 souls.-Springfield Repub- Ecan
