Home" House." Lady"
~ KY dear Mrs. Post: have for
'M q long time approved Of
H your distinction between
the words house And
home Can you give 4
definite rule for the use Of these words
and why one should not say home
when one means house7 And can you
tell me why the word lady has gone
out Of social usage?"
Answer-In its true meaning, home"
is the sentiment, the atmosphere. the
spirit, the personality. the hospitality
that the room or the apartment or the
house In which you dwell expresses.
Home" divested Of its sentiment. Is
not Q synonym for "house." A house
Is built of wood or stone, furniture
is put IN 1t. also plumbing and other
concrete objects. Home u intangible
you cannot put IN Ice box IN your
home any more than you can put an
Ice box IN your marriage. To put an
ice box In the home means . charitable
institution. On the other hand. you
can do home cooking, home designing
and home sewing; you can NIL your
home with love and beauty, comfort
ana The e0seisanss; taSu q tn. word lady" W.
brought about by persons who assumed
its meaning to be female" and ap-
piled 1t to those who had least claim
TO its use. This misuse 20 vllgArized
the word that those to whom 1t truth
fully applied abandoned It for the word
woman" which best expresses the
modern relations Of our sex to the
work of the world. The title 'lAdy"
suggests the social qualities Of instinc.
tive taste, poise, kindness and unfail-
ing rectitude in meeting obligations.
Today the title "lady'' is never used
by women Of quality except when neces-
sary for clarity Of meaning. For ex-
ample, when writing an article on be-
havior, I would have to say, "A lady
does not talk about her private con-
Germs IN public; "A lady invariably
sl1uns notoriety"; ITO ray that women
do not break tahsu Of taste would not
- true, since many women would do
exactly that, and only one who hAB
the instincts Of . lady would not"
In many ways, think the shun-
ming Of the words lady" and gentle
man" has gone too far, and we are
inclined to say woman and man when
lady and gentleman Is necessary to the
picture. THE woman on the right Of
the President at dinner" u certainly
using the wrong word, and writing on
many Of the subjects that I do, I
find the avoidance of the word lady"
an unreasonable handicap.

AFRAI DSOUTHERNERS MAY APP
PEAR TO BE MOT QUITE BRIGHT"

Raleigh, ~ c., Sept. LIST (ANP) A
correspondent Of the News and Obser-
yer, Arnold Mckay, who lives at Max
ton. North Carolina. is concerned as to
the distinction between rates minimum
bay for labor under the National In
dustry Recovery Act which is being
made between the north and the south.
Mr.. Maxton expressed himself IN a
letter to the newspaper Tuesday as
follows
News coming out Of Washington is
intercstin- even if somewhat depress-
ing unless one gets his convictions. like
his religion, by the ballyhoo method
For instance, in reading about the var
ious codes proposed, we come across
statements like these: Minimum pay
is S11 in the North $40 in the South
In the South the above pay scale
would be reduced 81; Minimum wage
Is cents an hour below the Mason and
Dixon Line, 35 cents above; Minimum
wage ranging from 20 cents an hour
in the South to 27l2 cents in the North"
and so on.
Now, I am perfectly familiar with all
the political, racial and econmic eX-
plantations about lower living costs less
intelligent labor, the Negro as q factor
and all the other historic bunk. But
what about the moral and social I'M
plications? 1t seems that the Yankees
not only gave us a good beating IN 1868
but have continued to suggest TO US
probably with the benign approval OF
our overlords- in all such matters
we are not quite bright. No Southern
editor or public man would dare make
a stand on this discrepancy except 10
rationalize it. probably Gaping his
peroraion with a grand flourish about
the New Deal. Well, is it?

HEALTH TOPICS
(By DIR. William E. Miller)
SLEEPING SICKNESS

Sleeping sickness or lethargic ence-
phalitis as it is called by scientists has
become very important this month due
to the outbreak in ST. Louis, Missouri
and vicinity which has recorded over
100 cases and u deaths to the present
date. Lethargic encepholities must be
distinguished from african sleeping
sickness or trypanosomiasis which is
spread by tsetse fly a fly that is pc
culiar to Africa.
The cause Of sleeping sickness is not
known. However it is thought to be
due to a small germ that can not be
seen with the highest power microscope
in eXistance. This small germ is
thought to infect the brain and thereby
cause the disease sleeping sickness
In the last great outbreak that occurred
in 1917 most of the cases were asso-
ciated with or followed influenza, thus
some scientists think there is a close
relationship between encephalitis and
influenza.
Sleeping sickness usually begins with
nausea and vomiting, headache, mus
cular pains, weakness ond fever of
varying degree. In from 6026 to 800
Of the cases there is a marked distur-
bance of consciousness, varying from
mere drowsiness to actual sleeping or
coma. Thus we see the disease truly
earns its name. In other cases there
may be no sleeping but there may he
a variety of symptoms as disturbances
of sight, restricted movements of the
arms and legs, disturbances Of breath
ing, trem'ors or palsy of the arm or leg,
or pain anywhere depending upon the
part Of the brain that is infected.
This disease is not very highly con-
tagious. 1t is rare to find two cases in
the same family. 1t infects both sexes
alike most can occur at any oge. Usu-
ally most of the cases occur in the cold
weather however the present epidemic
is an exception to this rule. In as much
the cause is not known the prevention
and control is difficult Isolation Of all
cases is the best policy to follow. The
should be under the charge
of a physician
