This is the first aspect of the ex-
traOrdinary election of 1924 which
earns attention. 1t bulks larger than
any individual; it surpasses party; it
looks with golden promise toward
the future. It declares, beyond the
power of bleating intelligentsia or
baying radicals to distort, that the
people of America are sound of heart
and mind and resolved to keep their
country free of alien corruption,

assimilable immigrants or reyolu-

gained the affection and admiration
of his countrymen.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MISTER"

a T A time when men were
~ generally called by their
Christian names or surnames
only, the word Mister" was ap-
piled as a sort of title to those
who had learned a trade or 'mys-
tery"-persons who were looked
upon as being of a higher rank
than common laborers or farm
hands. As time passed, the ne
cessity for the male equivalent
Of mistress" was more and more
reeognized-at first by the use
Of the word master" and later,
by the growing popularity of
Mister"
Then by one of those strange
quirks which frequently occur
in the growths of languages,
Mister caused Mistress" to
be corrupted or elided into
'Missis" and finally, the two of
them were shortened to the rec
ognized abbreyiations "Mr" and
Mrs" Incidentally, the femi-
nine form of Mister" is one of
the curiosities of the English
language, since, as Walker says,
ITO pronounce it as it Is written
in full-Mlstress'-or even as 1t
has been contracted into Missis'
appears quaint and pedantic.
One has to slur 1t and inject a
y sound"
