Y SCHOOL YEAR
 WILL OPEN SOON
Vocabulary Building and Practical English Class
 Starts Wednesday

The opening class of the YMCA 1935-3e school year will take place Wednesday, September 25, at 7:1b D. Tn., with Vocabulary Building and Practical English by John C.. Gilfnartin. Mir. Gilrnartin, in ad- dition to being the author of the books used in the course, has pub lished other works on the subject.
 That the public has realized the importance of the study of words is evidenced by the fact that each year, even during the depression, MT. Gilmartin was obliged, on ac. count of the demand for the course, to conduct two or three different classes.
 In this class the members are taught, by a short but effeettve method, how to augment their vo- cabularies, improve their English and acquire correct forms of pro- nunciation. There is no compulsory answering; everything is voluntary. As a result, those who may be self conscious are never subjected to embarrassment.
 The importaiice of q reasonably large and efficient vocabulary is that it instiiis confidence in those who possess it. It cannot be denied that a person who has at his com mana a fluent use of words has a decided advantage over one less able to express himself.
 All persons interested in streng- tflening tllier vocabularies are in- vited to attend the first meeting free of charge.

United States exports and imports
were shown by Commerce Department
figures today to have declined in
August from July, but to have gained
over August Of last year.
The export decline in August from
July was l per cent, while imports
fell 4 per cent. contrasting to a usual
increase in both exports and imports.

ports were up only fractionally, while
imports gained AZ per cent.
August exports amounted to $172,-

gust, 1884. Imports in August were
S170, $4,000 against $l77,698,000 in
July, 1885, and S119,513,OOO in August,

the favorable balance was S27, ,279,000

such as fax seed and crude rubber.

Lady novelists like to picture the
Sheik of the desert as man with a
'far-away" look about him, true in a
sense, but from causes other than that
described by the novelists. The desert

wide desert plains, from one Landmark
