English, that 81 year old

Correct English then goes on to
examine this Timestyle 1t finds that
it consists in the use of such good old
tricks as periodic sentences. compound
adjectives. telescoped words and in
verted sentence structures. And 50 it
does, but one doubts If the public
would line up million strong to buy
any periodical just for the sake Of the
enjoyment to be had out of compound
adjectives. Correct English is q lot
nearer the secret Of Times success
when 1t says, conservatively:
THE unusual number Of human

reader feeling Of being 'on the in

pound COW sturgeon.
Experts at the Eleventh Street
wharf, where the giant fish was
displayed by the George A. Car

largest sturgeon caught in the Pc
tomac in more than so years. The
roe alone weighed 20 pounds. It
was promptly shipped to New
York to be sold as caviar.
The young brothers, elated
with their prize catch, admitted
the big fish would have cut
through their net like paper had
she not become tangled in the
fine mesh. They had trouble,
they said, getting the sturgeon
into their small boat, but once

Whereas, The Citizens Committee
