sRAY-shun" or "RASH-un"?

''RAY- -shun" or "RASH-un"?
The RATION has been discussed
here many times, but still every
mail brings dozens Of inquiries:
els it RAY -shun or RASH-un?"
These are my findings, based on
five American dictionaries. Web
ster's New International, Funk g.
Wagnalls', Century, Winston's, and
Macmillan's, plus the Oxford Eng
lish Dictionary:
The first choice of all six rhymes
the word, both noun and verb,
with nation, thus: RAY-shun. The
second choice of all six rhymes tSe
word with fashion, thus: RASH-un.
There are good reasons for the
dictionary first choice "RAY-shun." "
First, the word stems in the Latin
ratio" which, in English, always
has the ray" sound. Secondly, in
practically all the hundreds of Eng
lish words in which "-ation" occurs,
the only pronunciation is "AY-
shun," as in nation, station, Gre
alton, etc. exceptions: national"
and "rational~. Thirdly, the older
authorities favored "RAY-shun." It
was Noah Webster's first choice In
his original American Dictionary of
the English Language, 1842, and it
was Worcester's only choice in his
dictionary, 1880, and Alfred Ayres
In "The Orthoepist," 1880, said:
'RAY-shun," not "RASH-un."
However, 1t must be noted that in
military parlance "rations," the
plural noun, In the meaning of "a

There are no other saltwater

One angles for this fish by Gig

hooks which are tied together in q

tened small piece Of white cloth.
The line is weighted and the hooks
quickly sink to the bottom or close
to 1t. Then the fisherman begins to
jiggle the line up and down. The
Atka is either angered or curious
at the behavior of the white nag
and snaps at 1t furiously. At times,
each hook will have q victim-and
do they thrash about trying to get
free!
!, These lines are usually let down
In the kelp because the greenlings
travel in schools, and 1t Is very easy
to catch many Of these fish. Often,
the fish are gathered in great num-
bers close to the bottom. When the
white flag appears, excitement
reigns, and gradually the school
comes closer and closer to the sur
face. Apparently. they are deter
mined to find out the reason why
this strange bit of material has been
introduced into their midst. When
reaching too near the surface, cau-
ton overtakes them, and they dart
back into the kelp.~ However, the
poor fish" never learn to see
through this symbol of truce, and
they are just as excited when it re-
appears as they were the first day.
The average weight Of this fsh is
about two and one-half pounds, and
its length is slightly less than 18

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w, BURGESS

Sammy Jay had left the dear Old
Briar Patch after telling Peter Rab-
bit and little Mrs. Peter that Reddy
Fox and Mrs. Reddy had some ba-
bies, and on this account we're more
dangerous than ever, and had flown
straight over to warn Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse. Danny and
Nanny had been just as grateful as
Peter and Mrs Peter. 1t made
Sammy feel good. You know, 1t al
ways makes one feel good to do a
kind deed to others and have them
grateful for it.
When Sammy left Danny and
Nanny down on the Green Meadows
he had it in mind to fly over to the
Green Forest and warn Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse to keep his eyes
extra wide open for Reddy Fox and
Mrs. Reddy. AS he flew along, he
saw something that, for the time
being, quite put Whitefoot out of
his head. 1t was Farmer Browns
boy at work along the old stone
wall on the edge of the Old Orchard.
He was digging.
That's funny" thought Sammy.
II wonder what he is digging for
there. I wonder If he is trying to
dig open somebody's house I
thought he had got over doing
things like that, but you never can
tell about these men folks. No, sir,
you never can tell. They are queer
creatures. They certainly are I
guess I'll 60 over to the Old Orchard
and see what is going on"
So Sammy few over to the Old
Orchard without making a sound
and found place in an old apple
tree where he could watch Farmer
Browns boy. He found a number
of other little people doing the
same thing In fact. all the little
people of the Old Orchard were
watching Farmer Browns boy. 1t
didn't take Sammy long to discover
that. Welcome Robin, Scrapper the
Kingbird. Chippy the Sparrow
Jenny Wren, Tommy Tit the Chick
adee, Drummer the Woodpecker
Goldie the Oriole-they all were sit
ting silent and watchful where they
could see Farmer Browns boy al

Orchard, save for Farmer Browns
boy himself, as if there were no liv.

ing just as his feathered friends
were. There was a puzzled and, II
seemed to Sammy, wee bit anxious
look in Striped Chipmunk's eyes.
Sammy few over beside Welcome
Robin. What is Farmer Browns
boy doing?" he whispered.
Welcome Robin shook his head.
II don't know" said he. Nobody
knows. I mean we don't know what
he Is doing 1t for. You can see fol
yourself what he Is doing. He is
digging little holes all along the old
wall, but what under the sun they
can be for none OF us can guess
It's a funny thing to do, to dig little
holes like those. He seems to be
happy about it.
Sammy already had noticed that
Farmer Browns boy was whistline

to do. Once In a while he would
stop to rest for . few minutes, and
then he would look up In the trees

be smiling and good to see. The
fact is, Farmer Browns boy knew
he was being watched. He knew
that ever so many sharp eyes were
watching him, though he couldn't
see single pair. And he knew that
his little friends were wondering
and wondering what he could be
about. When he had rested, he
would chuckle and then begin to dig
and whistle again. Shrewd Sammy

Jay quickly made up his mind to
one thing, and that was that what

ging all those little holes for, he
intended no harm to anybody. He
said as much to Welcome Robin.

Robin, but what is it all for? It's

The effort to locate rooms in pri-
