The Right Word
AN EMPHATIC OBJECTION. (Find the Error in This ArticIe)
By W. CURTIs NICHoLsoN

And with the emphatic objection comes an inquiry on the same subject S. E. Ballou of Detroit, writes, Please tell me which of the following is correct and why: feel bad feel badly. Also, which of the following is correct: She looks bad; She looks badly?'
 ''She feels bad' and "She looks bad"- are both correct.
 But Katherine Skinner, also of Detroit writes, "In the 'Potpourri of Rules for Cor. rect Speech,' we are told to say, He feels bad instead of He feels badly This is a mistake and should be corrected.
 Bad is an adjective and cannot quality the verb feels. The rule plainly states that 'Adverbs qualify verbs and other adverbs must be used; and He feels badly is cor. rect.
 "There are so many grammatical errors afloat today that I could not resist this pro. test"
 Here is very definite issue to be me- First, "The Right Word refutes Miss Skin ner's statement that feels ought always to be followed by an adverb, by quoting the follow ing absurdity: I feel confidently. q feel confident" is correct and confident is an ad- jective.
 Bad is also an adjective, it is true Fur thermore, the verb feels, as seems is, and ap- pears, should be followed by an adjective.
 If Miss. Skinner will look up bad in her dictionary, she will find that the word means Hand she will probably confess also that He feels ilp' is correct.

Nd Vote, No Rlght to Complain

Voters living in towns. perhaps but a few blocks from the voting place, very often will not take the trouble on election day to vote, and then they complain because the candidates they would have voted for were defeated. The non-voter can blame only him. self for the result of an election if it, does not go to suit him. Votes determine how elections will go and if people do not vote they have no right to complain.--AnnistoA Star.

Doubtful Of Its Success

It is announced that the Republicans are going to organize women Coolidge clubs all over Alabama. They may find enough fes mnles of the correct political persuasion to thus organize in few large cities.

Dante's Hell Surpassed,

IHANTE n.avait rien vu" (Dante has seen nothing), says .Albin Michel, in 'Le Petit Parisien in a comparison which he draws between conditions in the French penal colonies in Guiana and the hor- TOTS of the underworld described by Dante Aleghieri, in his immortal Inferno" Corpo- ral punishments at Biribi are so severe that the tortures of the inquisition pale into in- significance. Men are strapped to a post for the least infraction of the rules, left in the glaring tropical sun, after having their faces and bodies smeared with honey and sugar so as to attract bees, wasps and flies When almost perishing with thirst they are given dissolved salt to drink, procedure which will increase their suffering in short time to the very torments of hell. There is nothing in the French military code book to the effect that offenders should be sandwiched naked between two layers of thorn branches upon which other prisoners are forced to dance but this cruelty is practiced day by day. When man has raw. bleeding wound it is GOV. cred with quicklime and his sufferings be. come terrific The men in the penal colo nles are generally soldiers from the metropoli. tan French regiments or incorrigibles from the punishment battalions in northern Africa, The whole system is a remnant of barbaric times. Some writers in France are suggest. I ing remedies and the ministry of colonies is investigating. The only remedy is abolish ment of the whole system of repression.

Seipel's Achievements.


 Dr. Seipel, chancellor of Austria, who, with the help of Dr. Zimmerman, mayor of Rotterdam and League of Nations commis- soner. pulling that country out of the slough of after-war despondency, is accused by the aristoeracy of Vienna that he has killed all social glamor by his simple and ascetic life. Dr. Seipel has concentrated on the rehabili- tation of Austria and even the greatest op. ponents of the league will admit that his task looked the most hopeless in Europe at one time, and now is in fair way to sue ceed. He had no time to revive the pre.war glitter of the Hapsburgs to which the Viennese have been accustomed. The very fact that there. is desire for greater bril- fancy in the Austrian capital proves that things are going well. And Dr. Seipel may in truth quote the words of Themistocles, who answered the Athenians when taunted by them for his lack of social display. q never learned how to tune q harp, or play libon a flute; but know how to raise a small and inconsiderable city to glory and greatness"

Converting Turks.

Dr. zwemer, scholar and authority on
 Musselman languages and religions, says that the increase of Mohammedans in Malay coun- tries and Africa is alarmingly large. For every "heathen" converted to Christianity there are ten who embrace the religion of Allah and his prophet. The Mohammedan missionaries tell the pagan tribes of Africa and the Malay archipelago that the Christians merely seek to get them in their power for exploitation. Christian missionaries are fol lowed by armed men and then follow mer- chants and capitalists, who will grab your land and products and make slaves out of you, they say The missionaries point with whitening scorn at the great war, when Christians went mad and destroyed each other and came close to wrecking their whole civili- zation. It's a difficult matter to make the benighted heather see the point that there is no connection between Christianity in theory and Christianity in practice Their primitive minds are too cogical for that. "The only way to convert Turks" said that great hu, manist. Erasmus, "is by the beauty of your own lives" uts

Messages From The Dead.

A London spiritualistic medium brought the spirit of Lord Northcliffe down from the seventh plane of ethereal regions and intro duced him to an audience of seekers" recent. ly. Lord Northcliffe started taking about flannel shirts and country homes, about the good time had by all in the upper spheres and the compulsory work up there Not word about journalism or golf, the things British journalists had rather expected from the de- ceased owner of 'The Thunderer." It's ever thus in spiritualist meetings always disap- pointing. This writer went to seance i'm pelled by curiosity to hear the voice of Abra- ham Lincoln, whose appearance had been announced. The emancipator spoke through the instrumentality of young woman with a cockney accent. He said that he had forgiven all his enemies and often strolled about the golden streets with Wilkes Booth, his mur- derer. The former president waxed rather eloquent in costermonger English over the trend of the great war and denounced the Germans as is only possible in the vernacular of Petty Coat Lane or Whitechapel At the same meeting young man was told that his dead wife wanted to kiss him. He went up to the front in the dimmed lights and re marked when he returned that the lady he kissed had been in bad need of shave. When he left the hall he imparted the information that he was going to call for, his wife at n nearby theater. 'She is really very much alive" be called over his shoulder.
