Spelling the Groom's Title

Dear Mrs. Post: Is ii better
form to spell out the title doc
tor" for an NJ. D., on his wedding
invitations. than to abbreviate it
the way IT is usually written? Or,
since Or. is somewhat ambiguous,
would 1t be preferable TO choose
George Medico. NJ. D..
Answer: I should not choose
NJ. n. for a wedding invitation.
Doctor or DR.. are equally correct

When was boy my friends and
used to speak of throwing rocks"
We would 90 down to the lake and
pick up rocks to throw out into
the water, seeing which one could
throw the farthest.
Since that time I have learned
MAT it would have been better for
LIS to speak of throwing stones, not
rocks. A real rock is mass OF stone.
II may be as large as the Rock OF
Gibraltar or even larger. It would
take giant to throw real rocks
around.
Rocks make up the hard part of
the earth's crust. There are rock
layers down to q depth Of several
miles. We do not know just how
far down they go. The deepest oil
wells ever drilled have passed
through rock clear to the bottom,
but we cannot tell how much rock
there is below them.
Among the main kinds Of rock
are shale, sandstone and limestone.
Water has played . part in making
all three of those.
Shale is q product of mud which
vas laid down at the bottom Of lakes
and other bodies of water. When
the lakes dried up they left the
mud behind and slowly it hardened
AND turned into rock.
II shale Is broken it often can be
picked up In slabs. Certain kindssof

Take Ny Word for 1t
Crievous
By FRANK COLBY.

Be sure not to give this word
three syllables. Do not say GREE
vee-uss." Note that the second
syllable Is -ous, not "ious.'
There also is a tendency to add an
extra syllable to MISCHIEVOUS
and HEINOUS, pronouncing them
enormously as miss ss-CHEE-vee-uss'
and "HEE-nee-uss."
These three important words are
correctly pronounced:
GREE -vuss, MISS-chi-vuss, HAY
huss.
Capitals indicate syllables to be

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Wuter Played Part in Making Rocks

Rocks which came from lava are
not all Of the same kind. The lava
does not always cool At the same
rate, and this makes q difference in
the rock produced Granite Il very
important rock which came from
lava.
All kinds Of rock are worn down
by the action Of water and the
weather. Failing rain. creeks and
rivers work on rock and wear them
away. When water freezes in rock
cracks the ice needs more room and
may make the cracks wider.
In some places odd looking masses
Of rock have been left standing
after water and weather have done
their work. Near Devils Lake,
Wisconsin. saw . rock in the shape
Of an elephant.
In Yugoslavia, near the town Of
Prilip, is . large rock which looks
like pelican taking a rest. It is
called Pelican Rock. In the Middle
Ages Christian Serbians went to this
rock to carry on religious service ct
. time they were fleeing from the
Turks.

So after winning the first trick,
South carefully drew three rounds

Then South led his diamond.
West looked at the entryless dummy
and never dreamed that South had
removed the only entry to the king

that South had more than one

"Our percentage of manpower

from the fact that familiarity
