"Se+'' and "Si+"

The verbs "set" and "sit," like
the verbs "lie" and clay" often
are confounded in their use. To
"set" is ,transitive; to "sit" is in
transitive. ST set the hen," but
''she sits on her eggs" Exam
pies are: "My dress sits well";
''We will sit up" that is, will not
go to bed; Congress sits" eve
set down figures" but 1--WE sit
down on the ground" An apparent
contradiction is found in the sem
tence, ''The sun SETS" but the
verb "sets" in this sentence has
a different origin from the verb
"set" under discussion. Long ago
it was the custom to say, "The
sun Settles" but "settles" has
been shortened to "sets."

Funds For Trade
Thinks Relief Coin Would
Best Be Spent to Re-

Bernarr MacFadden, magazine
publisher, last night suggested
that the government collect no
taxes from business for one year
and that the proposed $4,000
600 recovery fund be diverted
for the exclusive use Of cncour-
aging trade revival.
He made his recommendation

Usher attacked the "Hitlerized re-
stlictions" in the Wagner labor
act and charged that the National
Labor board has proved to be
"just "A modern Spanish inquisi-
ton"
The pending wages-hours bill,
he said, will be another "sledGe-
hammer blow to business" and
he appealed to the people to bar
rage their congressman with let
ters and kilograms demanding
that they vote against it. New
Deal regulatory policies, he said,
are in harmony with "Hitler's or

He questioned whether the new
