''Pure" English Defined
as of Elizabethan Err,

The oft-quoted saying that the pur-
est English is spoken in Dublin, par
ticularly at Trinity college, is Of I'm.
known origin, says the Pathfinder
Magazine. Inverness, Scotland and
Belfast, Ireland, are often linked with
Dublin as places where exceptionally
pure and correct English is spoken
by the inhabitants. The saying prob.
ably means little more than that the
common speech in these places con-
tains an unusually large number Of
Elizabethan words now regarded az
archaic" or classical" in England
and the United States. Speech in
small countries or isolated commune
ties seldom changes as rapidly as 1t
does in the more populous centers.
Both Dublin and Belfast were settled
by colonists from England and the
speech of their descendants did not
undergo the same development that
the language of the parent country
did. The English language of the peri
DDS of Elizabeth and King James was,
as it were, kept in cold storage IN
Ireland and many words and phrases
were retained in everyday speech
which became obsolete in England.
Thus it happens that the language OF
Belfast and Dublin more nearly ap-
proaches the language in use during
England's golden era of literature.

CHAPTERS LICENSES EX-
PRE- ANNUALLY

Employers of CHI a u IF r S
should ascertain once a year
whether their employees have
had their licenses renewed, E.
Austin Baughman, Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles said.
"This should be extremely
important both to employer
and employee" the Commits
|sioner pointed out, because
suspensions are meteds out to
those chauffeurs who drive
with licenses that have lapsed.

cerned," Colonel Baughman
said, 'that chauffeurs' licenses
expire annually. 1t is neces-
sary to renew them each year

pired license he is suspended
for the same period of time he
has permitted the license to
lapse.
''This department once spent
thousands of dollars in postage
to notify chauffeurs that their
licenses had expired. Our rec
ords show that very little at
tention was paid to our Motif
cations. Other states also had
similar practices, all Of which
have been discontinued, be-
cause the desired result was
not obtained.

Of
"The Commissioner of Mot

this Act is required to have a

at seems to me that the man
who is engaged as chauffeur
in the strictest sense of the
word should, like all good me-
chanics, have the tools of his
trade with him in good order

should be extremely careful es-
pecially in these precarious
times.

disclose the fact that letting
this type of license lapse is a

WANTS ACTIVE ARMY OF
WORKERS

Formation of an active army
of $4,000 workers to carry on
the State campaign this fall is
urged by Howard Bruce, Dem
ocratic national committeeman
for Maryland.
This compaign has got to
be carried on with a greater
amount of work and the small
est amount of cash than any
that | can recollect in my life,' -
he said.
The victory fund contribu-
tors, he said, numbered ap-
proximately $4,000 and, be-
cause they comprise the most
active party members in every
part of the State, could be
formed into an effective ad-
junct to the regular election
machinery.

"Lissen," the little man called after
her. But she was already seated in
side. AS the little man made toward
the bus it jerked suddenly and drove
off, leaving him standing, mouth open.
The Woman met his eyes with an
involuntary smile. A slow grin spread
over his face.

Woman, struggling his thin shoulders.

HYMNAL CONTRACT
KEEPS PLANT BUSY
tFrom Kingsport (Tenn.) Times)

(From Kingsport (Tenn.) Times)
The Kingsport Press, Incor-
porated, has received the largest
known single order of hymnals ever
placed with single concern. The
order was placed by The Christian
Science Publishing Society of
Boston.
The order consists of 100000
cloth bound books and 10000 de
luxe full leather-bound books. The
books will be distributed through
out the world. 1t is expected the
distribution will begin about Sept. 1.
The music plates for the 640-page
hymnal were prepared by the F. H.
Gibson Company of Boston, nation
ally known music compositors. All
of the type for the plates was set
by hand.

completion Of the book. Five OF
the largest perfecting presses of
the Kingsport Press began work on
printing the book June Is and will
run 20 hours each day until Aug.
%, at which time the printing is
expected to be complete.
A total of 1926 tons of paper will
be used in the book, 40,240 yards Of
book cloth. $4,000 yards of head
bands, seven tons of end paper ma

more than 100000 yards of muslin
reinforcement for the backs of the

edges and stamping the de luxe
edition. Mr.. Palmer estimated the
cost of the gold alone at $12,50O.

The invention of spectacles has been
claimed for Roger Bacon about 1880
by Doctor Plott, but they are gener-
ally supposed to have been invented by
Alessandro de Spina, a Florentine
monk, in 1885. However, Manni credits
Salvino, who died in 1917, with their
invention, and the claim is justified by
the inscription on his tombstone which
reads: "Qui giace Salvino degli Ar
matt, inventore degli occhiali; Dec gil
perdoni lie peccata" lies SalvinO
of Armati, inventor of spectacles;
God pardon his SINS"
Friar Jordan de Rivalto, In sermon
delivered by him in 1905, told his audi
tors that lit is not twenty years since
the art of making spectacles was found
out, and is indeed one of the best and
most necessary inventions in the
world" This puts the date Of the in
vention at 12S5.-Literary Digest.

will start on the long, long
road to the three RS, in a few
days. Wishing them happi-
ness and success and above all,
HEALTH, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Depart
ment of Health has this to say
to the parents:
"Only a few days remain be-
fore the schools will reopen
and of the thousands who will
be starting school-ward none
will be making a more import
ant change in their daily rou-
tine, and need to be more care
fully safeguarded than the be-
! ginners, just starting their
school careers. If you have
not had it done during the
summer, take these youngsters
to your family doctor and to
your dentist. Let the children
have as thorough a going-over
as you would give to your auto
mobile if you were getting
ready for a long, trying
journey.
eff your doctor or your dent
list finds conditions that need
correction, have them attended
to before the children start to
school. Teachers who have
kept a careful check of attend
ance and progress of children
in the grades, all agree that the
children who start in, in good
physical condition and who are
free from preventible physical
handicaps, lose less time and
make the grade much more
easily than those do who are
dragged down by i'll health.
"The State Department of
Health in cooperation with the
State and local Parent-Teach-
er Associations, has been urg-
ing parents to have their five
and six year-olds examined by
their own doctors and dentists,
during the summer months, in
/ preparation for their enroll
ment in school. Child health
conferences arranged by the
County Health Officers in CO.
operation with the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State De-
partment of Health, have been
held as usual throughout the
counties. In addition, the De-
partment's Child Healthmo-
bile, with a doctor and dentist
in charge, has visited a number
of counties in Southern Mary
land and on the Eastern shore
for the purpose of reaching
mothers and young children in
more out-of-the-way places.
Between four and five
thousand young children have
been examined at those confer
ences and through the efforts
of the Parent-Teacher Associa-
lions a number of other child
rem have been taken to their
own doctors, but as the State
Department of Education is
preparing for an enrolment,
in the beginners grade, of four
times that many, it is obvious
that great many of the child
rem who will enter school this
fall, have not had the benefit
OF such safeguarding care.

chine inspected if you were
going to start on a journey.

CARE OF BULBS.

Now that the Spring bulbs have fin

to how to handle the bulbs, particularly
if one wishes to replace them with an
nual flowers There is no question but
that all bulbs that are expected to be
used another year should be allowed to
mature their leaves before digging Yet
it is possible to dig tulips carefully and
let them finish ripening in another part
of the garden, where the space is not
so much in demand, that is, replant
shallowly until the leaves are brown.
Many people cut off the crocus and
snowdrop leaves with the lawn mower
and then wonder why the bulbs disap-

greatly reduces the size of bulbs and

"LASS OF BALL0CHMYLE"
MANUSCRIPT TO BE SOLD
Burns Love Poem to Be Included
in Sale Planned to Be Held
Next Month.

LONDON. tNANA)-Some more
interesting Burns manuscripts are COM
ing up for sale at Sotheby's next month,
They include Lord Novar's autograph
manuscript of the poets The Lass of
Ballochmyle, in which there are two
verbal differences from the usual pub
lished version of the song.
Ardent though this poem is, Burns
never spoke to the lady. whom he saw
walking on the banks of the River Ayr
during an evening ramble. She was
Wiilelmina Alexander, daughter of the
Laird of Ballochmyle. The poet wrote
the verses when he went home and sent
them to her with letter some months
afterward, asking her permission to
publish the song
Willelmina, however, like a well-con-
Quoted lady, did not reply, and the
verses were not published until after
Burns death The poem and the let
ter, though, were carefully preserved by
the lady. and many years afterward
were presented by her family to the
Burns collection at Mossgiel Farm, of
which Burns was once tenant.
