Don't Take Ny
Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
w
TUenty-third letter OF the
alphabet.

w is the most interesting OF the
Roman letters which make up the
alphabets of nearly all modern
languages.
w, the baby of the alphabet, was
born in England 900 years ago dur
ing the Norman conquest. French
scribes introduced it as "VV" to re-
place the Anglo-Saxon character
"wen."
w is a double-V that is called
double-U. Why? For the reason
that formerly V and U were con-
sidered the same character and were
interchanged. v for U is still seen
in inscriptions on cornerstones,
building facades and monuments.
There is no w in italian. 1t is
not properly in the French alphabet,
being used only in the spelling OF
certain foreign words. In France w
is pronounced like V and is called
double-V.
Latin has no W. but the Latin v
is pronounced like w.
The German w is pronounced
like V. In Welsh, w is pronounced
100"
In Polish, when it ends a syllable,
w is pronounced "f."
In the United States, w is COM
monty mispronounced "double-yuh." ."
Although in form it is double-V
(VV, in pronunciation the letter
should be double-U.
Correct pronunciation:
DOUBLE-you.
Capitals indicate syllables to be
accented)

questions about words, send a

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Certain vinelike plants give of
an oil of an odd kind. A small bit
of it on the skin of human being
may cause him a great deal OF
trouble.
I am thinking of poison ivy. 1t
Is a plant which is not at all popu-
lar. and it has done damage to many
persons.
Poison ivy may creep along the
ground at the borders of a wood
land, or it may climb tree or pole.
Sometimes it is found about fences
and walls.
There are persons who can touch
poison ivy without any bad result.
They are said to be immune" to it.
There is reason to believe, however,
that person may be safe from the
poison one year, but not the next
year.
If were you, would not test my
self on poison ivy. 1 have special
reason not to like the plant-at a
summer camp 20 years ago, 1t
visited" me for two weeks.
If you should happen to touch poi
con ivy by accident, you may do

SPORTS
Reed Bros. To Play
Ali Star Team

Grand finale of the, Rockville
Softball League is scheduled for
Friday night, September 20, at 8
o'clock when an all-league, all-star
team will be pitted against Reed
Brothers, winners of both halves
of the 1910 schedule.
The all-star team has been Sc
lected from the 9 teams which
with Reed Brothers make up the
10 team league. Reed Brothers
won the first half of the schedule
in July when they beat the Law
yers A 8. During the second
half the Reed Brothers team has
not been headed, going on to win
without defeat.
The managers OF the various
teams, together with league Off
GERS, have selected the all-star
team which will be managed by
Paul Wire and coached by Kress
Bride and Joe Henderson.
The all-stars are well nigh air
tight on the defense and Friday
night will tell whether or not they
can get to the left hand slants of
Pitcher Price with their bats.
Price has been the outstanding
pitcher in the league and his left
handed fire ball is generally con-
sidered to have been the key to
Reeds success.
The all-stars have a capable
staff with three pitchers who
should go well with good support.
The probable lineup for the two
teams will be as follows:
ALL STARS
Patsy Coleman, Business Men,
left field; Harry Beane, Firemen,
shortstop; Eddie johnson, Law
yers, first base; Booty Wilson,
Firemen, right field; Bond, Mar
ines, second base; Oliver Smith,
Business Men, center field; Elmer
Hutchinson, Firemen, third base;
Paul Wire, Business Men, catcher;
Bill Bouic, Lawyers, short fielder;
Matthews, Lawyers, pitcher.
Utility Men Sonny Dawson,
Sully Mills, Pete Thompson, Earl
Edwards, Val Wilson, Fred Lam
Ter, Vernon Connolly.
REED BROTHERS
Tommy Ray, center field; Boots
Walker, second base; Stuff How
ard, catcher; Bill Hutchinson
shortstop; Buster Day, third base;
Merhle Miller, left field; B. ORR
son, short field; Buclxy Andrews,
first base; West Briggs, right
field; Price, pitcher.
The umpires viii be Abbie Clark
and one of his able assistants.
A small admission charge will be
made.
