SOME LONG WORDS

What is the longest word in the Eng
lish language? That is a hard question
to answer, as writer's have from time to
time coined words of extraordinary length
which have never gotten into general use
The longest in Webster's International
dictionary is Observation-Disclosures,
defined as 'honorableness," a pedantlc
nonsense word, used by Shakespeare in
Loves Labor Lost and containing II let
tiers.
But in chemical treatises may be found
even longer words more wonderfully COM
pounded than the chemical products which
they describe. For example, tetrahydro-
neutrality-suspicious., with 80 letters;
also paraoxymetamethozya of
81 letters, and others.
English must yield the palm to some
foreign languages, however, when long
words are considered. In German, schut-
engrabenvernichtuong with 30
letters, is as formidable as the war en-
CINE it describes. In English this machine
is commonly designated by the four-letter
word tank" saving of 80 letters going to
the credit of our mother tongue.
Longest of all so far discovered is a
Greek word of 181 letters, which APP
propriately enough is the name of dish
containing many ingredients. We call it
simply "hash.''
Out of consideration for the linotyper
the writer will not spell out the Greek
word here. We have already given him
and the proofreader worry enough for one
day.

SPELL 1T MUSCLE"

There are still few writer's who as
sumo to exhibit superior knowledge by
spelling it "Mussel Shoals They base
their vagary on the supposition that this
is the only correct spelling of the name of
the bivalve from which the Shoals take
their name
As matter of fact, the name of this
marine animal is spelled either "mussel'
or muscle" as consultation of any stand
ard dictionary will disclose But Muscle
Shoals" early came to be recognized as
the official form, as evidenced by that
spelling on the following maps:
A Correct Map of the Georgia West
ern Territory" published by C. Oily Poul-
try in 1898.
Map of the Tennessee Government
from the Latest Surveys engraved for
Payne's Geography. 1899.
Smiths Atlas, published at Hartford.
Conn, in 1SI3.
Morse's Geography, published by
Harper Brothers. 1851 edition, etc.
All documents of the United States
government employ the usual form as do
all writer's of standing, whether of news
papers, magazines or books, excepting only
the few who like to display their eecen-
tricities.
The spelling of Muscle Shoals has long
been settled, even though the disposition
ol the important development there has
not.

THE LENTEN SEASON

The observance of Lent the great
fast preceding Easter, is a custom which
originated with the early church, prob
ably in the latter part of the second GEN.
fury, but the number of days included in
the Lenten season has varied widely at
different times.
In the beginning, it appears from the
writings of Irenaeus and other early fathers
of the church, only one or two days of fast
ing were observed. By the fourth century
periods of three, six and even seven weeks
were observed in various countries, with
widely different customs with respect to
the continuity of the fast.
AS at present observed, Lent is fast
of forty days, not including Sundays, be-
ginning with Ash Wednesday-th year
on March land ending the Saturday be-
fore Easter.
During Lent it is considered desirable
by the churches observing it that their
members abstain from food each fasting
day until evening; also that the season be
marked by frequent attendance at wor-
ship and increased diligence in works of
charity. Various degrees of strictness in
these observances have prevailed from
time to time, and exceptions are made in
accordance with the physical needs of GER
tain individuals. Indulgence in worldly
amusements is considered unsuitable to the
Lenten season.
Lent is observed by the Roman Catho-
lie, Anglican and Lutheran churches.

The gist of the remarks of MT Pape and MT Stevenson had reference to taxation and the in- creasing expense of running the city during the past few years, and the necessity of taking steps to see that a. change Is put into effect as soon as possible.
 Hector Auray explained the, visit of the league committee to Mayor Hayes, stating that his honor promised to do everything in. his power to keep down expenses. Edward Udelowitz talked in pro- posed legislation looking towards tho reduction in salaries of city officials. court judges and others.

political sections will be established at every tractor station and every collective farm, creating some 7,- 900 points of contact with the peas-' ants.
 The system is similar to that of the civil war days, when a political commissar functioned beside every military comlmissar.
 The committee set the 1933 pro- duction of pig iron tt 100000 tons; coal. S4,000.0 900 tons; oil. 24,- 500, 900 tons; kilowatt hours of electricity, 16,000, 100000. These were, roughly, the same goals that were set last year and which were not realized. Thus in effect another year will be required to fulfill the 1892 plans.
 The cultivated grain area remain ed the same as last year. The com- mittee aimed at a seven per cent wage raise during 1883. As predicted by the United Press three weeks ago, Premier Molotov indicated that legislation might be expected substituting tax in kind for the present system of grain re- quisitions. In this way, peasants would know how much grain they would be expected to contribute to the collectivization, and the gov ernment would hope to overcome the apathy of the peasants in the most important grain producing re- gions.
 Under the new system, the peas ants may keep any grain above the quota collected by the government, and sell it in the open market.

 Couzens Is a member ofSthe sem ate stock market Investigating committee, which completed hear ings yesterday on the gigantic swindie perpetrated upon the world by Ivar Kreuger, Swedish match king. The Insult collapse probably will be investigated next.

Millions in his securities were handled by American bank. CTS, traded in on the New York stock exchange and left with American investors.
 "If any public accountant or ln- vestment banker certifies to inac- curate statements which may be mislea ding, either by reason of com mission or omission" Couzens told the United Press to-day, "that person should be punished.
 "rhe investing public should have recourse to civil courts to re- cover losses. and to tho criminal courts.

 Moscow, Jan 13-(U. P.)-Tbe cleansing of the communist party designed to wipe out opposition to the five year plan and the Stalin re- gime led to the expulsion of two high officials of the party to-day. The central executive committee, which heard Josef Stalin tell of SO- viet preparations for war and re- ceived details of a new system of grain collections from Premier Molotov, ordered the expulsion of Nicolas Eismont, who was commfs- car of supplies until his arrest re- gently, and of Former Commissar of>Interior Affairs Tolmachov.
 Former Premier AleXei Rykov now commissar of posts and tele- graphs, and Michael Tomsky, mem- Der of the central executive com- mittee, were warned that they must join the fight against the opposi- ton, or suffer serious punitive measures. Rykov and Tomsky were accused of having had contact with Eismont and others who allegedly sought to slow down the five year plan of industrialiZation and the collection of grain by the state.
 Resolutions adopted by the cen-

Smirnov, acknowledged the most recent fight within the communist party, which had been widely known but not hitherto officially recognized. Several members of the communist party who have held high positions, including former Vice Premier and Commissar Of Labor Vassili Schmidt, were warn- ed to join the fight against the op- position or suffer the consequences.
 The details and magnitude of the opposition were not revealed offi- cially. The resolution charges that "a group conducted anti-party ac- tivities, creating an underground faction. At the moment that the communist party was summing up the greatest victories of the live year plan, the group aimed to pre- vent naturalization and to re- establish capitalism, especially the Kulaks (propertied peasantsO'

|FORTY-FIVE CARD
 GAME TONIGHT
Several Teams Will Try Their Skill at St Mar-
 garet's Hall
WOMEN TO COMPETE

If there is any jinx rampant on this supposedly eventful day, Fri day, the 18th, there is a strong pos sibility of It's presence being dis closed this evening in the audi torium of St Margaret's school, where card players from all parts of of the city. both men and wo- men, will gather. The affair will be the first public event sponsored by the newly organized St Mar garet's Holy Name society. Bridge, auction and contract. whist, pino- chle, "45", in fact players can name their own games. wil lbe played. A number of splendid prizes will be a warded.
 Two contests in the "45" tourna- ment are expected to prove of out standing interest. The first of im- portance because it is really a rare occurrence will be the battle be- tween two women's teams, the ladies from Waterville and the ladies of St Margaret's parish. The former team is undoubtedly the best known women's aggregation in Waterbury. It has defeated some of the best male combinations that have held the spotlight more or less for years.
 The second contest Is expected to be featured by the cops and Tommy Burns team from Wash ington Hill. This will not be just another contest, it will be a con- tinuation of the old time rivalry thta has flared up for many years and which of late has reached a crucial point. The cops believe that they have the Thigh sign" on the team from the hill and there's no better night than Friday. the 18th, to prove it for once and for all.
 The committee of arrangements anticipating a large attendance has made plans to entertain all with the usual hospitality that has always featured events sponsored by St Margaret'S parish
