Washington, Jan. 27-INS- The
Senate is expected to take final
action on the price control bill to
day thus sending to the White
House measure which is expected
to affect the daily life OF every per
son in the nation.
Congressional leaders say that the
bill is one of the most far-reaching
measures affecting the economic
life OF the country ever to be enact
ed.
The bill has been subject to sharp
controversy for six months. Presi-
dent Roosevelt repeatedly has
called for its passage TO avoid the
danger OF an inflationary spiral and
ruinous rise in the cost OF living.
The bill operates in this fashion.

A DANGEROUS ASSUMPTION

Too many people assume that an all
out war has to be fought by an about die
tator government. This is not true And it
could never be true because modern war
requires gigantic production and govern
ments are not producers. At best, they can
force the citizen to produce under compui-
sion, after the citizen has failed to do so for
one reason or another.
America is outproducing Europe's
slaves because free men are doing the job.
If they are allowed to finish the war as such,
there is not the slightest doubt as to the
outcome Victory will be ours. Our indus.
tries are rolling at an unheard-of pace. But
they could do even more if bureaucrats and
the people would once and for all realize
who must keep mines and factories going
full blast. Let government place the orders
under proper supervision American in
dustry will do the rest. HT0
Cur armament and plane makers, our
utilities, our railroads have proved they can
accomplish miracles. The oil industry has
been ready for months to begin production
of synthetic rubber, awaiting only the "go''
signal from officialdom. Our metal and
timber resources are being utilized 70 the
fullest with the biggest stock pile of fuel in
history.
All Of these things have been and are
being done by private citizens. They, and
net the bureaucrats, should get the credit.

LITTLE LESSON IN ENGLISH

A Citizen reporter wrote, g.. with The
city barking the heels of the county" 10
convey the idea of the closeness of the race
between them in the amounts of taxes col
lected during This fiscal year.
Now, a Citizen proofreader or one of
the linotype operators evidently thought
that the reporter, in writing hurriedly, had
lett the proposition "at' '2qut of the sentence,
so it was changed to read, and was so pub
lshed, g. E. with the city barking at the
heels Of the county"
That little word "at' not only changed
the meaning Of barking" but also changed
the verbal form of the sentence from traE-
sitive to intransitive without, however,
changing the idea of closeness the reporter
wished TO convey.
The writer can not recall another in
stance in the realm of English literature
where anything like that has occurred, nor
can he call to mind the possibility of its
happening between any other two words
of the same spelling but dissimilar meaning,
where the meaning can switch from one to
the ether without affecting the thought OF
a sentence.
al Of Is have heard about barking
ones shinbone, in using the word barking
lite. ally. and most of US know of its use
metaphorically to indicate closeness, as one
runner barked the heels of another, or, as
Dr.. Sam Johnson remarked, ard had 1t
'oithfully recorded by Boswell, Zone ger
= aticn barks the heels of another as it steps
ntc ne grave"
So the reporter used barking, which
means to peel the skin off literally, and
closeness metaphorically, and somebody
put "at' before barking" and changed its
serse to mean the noise made by barking
dog But despite the vast difference of the
two words literally, when used metaphor
cally-the city barking the heels, or the city
barking at the heels-the difference in the
meaning is only slight. Barking at, In adj
diti0n to the idea Of closeness, as dog bark
ing at the heels of fox, includes also The
idea OF making noise, winch was noL eA-
actly applicable in the case in point There
fore; barking the heels, peeling off the skin
metaphorically, so close is the city on the
county's heels, is the preferred way of ex-
pressing the exact shade of thought.
English with its complexities and in
tricacies is the hardest language in the
world to learn. 1t has thousands of words
with the same spelling but with different
meanings and tens of thousands of syno-
nyms with hairbreadth difference in the
shades Of meaning, so much so, TWO educat-
ed persons frequently disagree over which
CT sundry adjectives is preferable in ex-
pressing the exact shade of thought.
And as to words spelled the same with
different meanings it reminds one of the
old story about the Frenchman, who threw
up his hands helplessly when he heard an
American, in one breath, speak admiringly
of a woman's carriage, and in the next
breath. say he was going riding in car
rlage.
