There is one thing that worries us
about Gene Tunney winning the
heavyweight championship-from now
on until his crown is knocked off his
head, we will have to listen to people
call him Tooney.
If his name were Bunney, would
any one think of calling him Booney?
If Sunney, Sooney? If Funney, Foo.
ney? If Lunney, Looney?
If Gene had come into the world as
a Tulley, is there a fan who would
call him Tooley? Had he been a
Tubbey, would he have been called
after a tube, instead Of a tub? If
Tuffey, Tewfey? If Tummey, Toomey?
If Tuppey, Twopey? If Tuttey,
Tootey?
We rather imagine not!
Yet from now on, despite the cham.
| pion's statement that his name is
pronounced just as it is spelled, every
| other person will insist on calling him
Tooney, invoking tuna fish" as au-
| thority. evidently.
Normal English pronunciation de.
mands that 'pule" be pronounced
| with long "u." and that pull be
given the short. 1t is evident that
the effect of the vowel sc" on the
popular imagination is disastrous. Yet
division of Tunney into syllables gives
| Tun-ney plain enough.
| 1t is interesting to note. according
! to Webster's, that the historical value
OF the letter III, and the value which
| it still retains in most languages
other than English, is a pure 100
| sound, the same as in moon" food,
, ETC..
This was the sound that the vowe
| had in Anglo-SaXon," says this au
! thority, going on to state, however
that in Chaucer's time middle Eng
| lish) the long "u'' occurred only ir
| French words.
| Thus those of today who feel i'm
PEELED to call the heavyweight cham
pion "Tooney" are either uncon
| sciousy barking back to Anglo
Saxon days or showing the results
of French heredity. or perhaps
| Irish
The two consonants (nm after the
vowel prevent the long ''u' sound in
Genes name. There are, in English
seven ways to pronounce this vowel
which linguists hold as one of the
most interesting of the sacred five.
We have as in "use," as in
rule" as in pull" as in up, -
u as in urn" u as in French ''lune'
Tor our "unite''--not exactly ''yew
mite" but with an re" value com
bined), and u as in "busy."
Persons with a feel for words
never call Mr.. Tunney anything other
than if he were named after the
| measure of coal, ton.
| Evidently his blows didn't measure
| up to that weight. We, have felt ever
! since the fight that if we ourselves
! had been able to hit Jack that many
times in the head we ought to have
been able to knock him for a goal.
| On that account we have not beer
able to work up much enthusiasm
| about Tunney as a worlds heavy
weight champion. OF course, oul

Peace and the Police.

A boost we try to give mankind.
We say that strife shall cease.
And yet we always seem to find
A need for more police.
The bootleg carries liquid woe.
Collisions still increase,
And every other hour or so
We call for the police.
Oh, let us stoutly persevere
For universal peace
And, starting with reforms right here
Ease off on the police!
