By ELMO ROPER

have mentioned previously that
in this campaign there are several
minor and at least three major
issues. A previous column already
has discussed in detail the most i'm
portant of these-the question as to
which of the two candidates is more
likely to put us into active co-opera-
ton in that kind of a world organi-
zation which will insure peace for
many years to come. I pointed out
that a ma jority of our voters believe
Mr.. Roosevelt is the more able in
this respect and that this is one of
the major advantages he carries
with him into the campaign.
There is still another major ad-
vantage resting with the President
One of the two other major issues
is the question of whether or not
We shall 60 forward or backward
with what are variously described as
"the New Deal measures" social
reform, or social progress.
The right to work at reasonably
good wages is regarded by an over
whelming majority of our people
as the first essential or the corner
stone in any security program.
Our people have repeatedly gone
on record as being against tolerating
any form of society which permits
those who are willing to work to
suffer in want. They are over
whelmingly committed to the idea
that it is Governments job to see
to it that all who want to work are
permitted to work.
Want Jobs for All. .
Recently / put this question to q
cross-section' of voters: do you
think the Federal Government
should provide jobs for every one
able and willing to work, but who
cannot get job in private employ
ment?" 1t should, said 67.7 per
cent; it should not, said 25.2 per
cent, and IL per cent said they were
undecided.
In answer to another question,
asked recently, 42.7 per cent replied
they thought the matter of full en-
ployment would best be handled by
the Democrats under Mr.. Roose-
velt; 348 thought Gov. Dewey and
the Republicans could do it better
and 22.5 per cent confessed they
didn't know which party or which
candidate would best solve the un-
employment question.
The odds, therefore. rest with Mr..
Roosevelt. and it is major advantage
No. which he carries with him in
the coming election.
Surveys show that ma jor issue No.
3 is a very real and tangible issue,
but one which is hard to measure
in terms Of percentages. That third
issue Is that it is high time to
change administrations. To many
people it is time to change simply
for the sake of change. To others

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Handbook of Practical English

Question: Will you please explain
which is correct: After each of you
(has-have) read this?
Answer-"Each" and every" i'm
ply each one; every individual
Correct: After each of YOU has read
this. Every employe is required
To-.
Question: Which is correct, THE
minutes (was-were) read?
Answer-Minutes (the record OF
a meeting) is always used in the plu-
raj since it expresses the idea of the
notes made of the various matters
discussed and acted upon. Correct
The minutes were read.
Question: Broadcasters. colum.
nists, society editors, and numerous
others who must know better, speak
OF being raised somewhere OF
other. What about it?
Answer-In best usage, only live.
stock and crops are raised. Chill
dren are reared, or brought up. ]
once heard a ranch wife say, I've
raised six head O. young 'uns."
Question: In his Oklahoma speech
Mr.. Dewey said: Il am compelled
therefore, to divert this evening long
enough to keep the record straight.
Would not "diverge" have been the
better word?
Answer-One diverts something
as the course of a stream. Strictly
speaking, to diverge is to spread
apart, as, the suns rays diverge. A
more accurate word is digress, Ito
turn aside from the main subject -
Question: Since the dictionaries
seldom show the plural form of
words, how can we be sure of the
right form?
Answer-The dictionaries show
the plural forms only when formed
irregularly, as OK, oxen; child, chill
dren; man, men; woman, women. If
no plural is given, you are safe in
forming the plural regularly, by add
ing IS or -es, as glove, gloves; fox,
foxes, etc.

tested Louis. Even supposing I
got to Santa Land, do you think
Santa would have time for me?
It's almost Christmas. He'd be far
too busy to bother with me-"
IF / know Santa Claus" said
the fairy, "and I met him once at
party two or three hundred
years ago-he always has time to
help when help is really needed"
"All right, then" said Louis,
beginning to have hope for the
first time. Tell me how to get to
Santa Land"
Il don't know myself" admitted
Mr.. Meriman. But, have friend,
Hoppy the Toad, who very often
hops up to Santa Land for a visit.
Come with me and we will ask him
the way"
So the two of them went off to
see Hoppy the Toad who lived on
water lily in nearby pool. When
the fairy told the toad what he
wanted Hoppy was quite cross.
Hoppy Knows The Way.
Go away and let me sleep!" he
croaked. "A grown up boy could
never get to Santa Land the way
I do and it's quite useless to bother
me-"
Listen, you ugly old thing" said
the fairy calmly. You better start
talking right now or I'll never let
you swim in my well again"
Who is calling who 'ugly'?'
cried Hoppy Indignantly. "Youl
face is so plain you have to live
in dark well so you won't
frighten yourself"
But l have wings" replied Mr.
Meriman serenely.
If you call that broken down
lace on your back wings then I'm
brownie!"
Perhaps you are" agreed Mr.
Meriman. Now let us stop this gos.
siping. Tell the boy how to get tc
Santa Land"
''Oh, very we'll" said Hoppy, who
had intended to tell all along but
always enjoyed little heated argu-
ment first. "Unbutton your ears
boy, and listen carefully because ]
don't intend to repeat a single
word"
So while Louis listened eagerly
Hoppy told him the way to Santa
Land.

There are several island cities
in the world. but the most famous
of all is Venice, Italy.
| Venice is at the northern end of
the Adriatic Sea, and was built on
mud banks" These mud banks
are small islands near the coast of
Italy.
The first settlers on the islands
seem to have been fisher folk. Later
came men and women who had run
away from the "barbarians" who
invaded Italy 1,500 years ago.
Some of the people who fed to
| the islands went back to the main
land after the danger was past, but
others stayed there and built homes
AS time went by, the islands be-
came a center for thousands of per-
sons. The people on them Joined
together as residents of the city OF
| Venezia, or Venice
| So it came about that the modern
city Of Venice grew up. This city
had population of 629, 900 when a
census was taken few years ago
1t is one of the large cities of Italy
There are many churches in Ven-
ice, and several palaces. The water
ways between the islands are calico
canals" There are 1T of these
canals. Winding through the city
they take the place of streets.
Instead of automobiles on the
watery streets, there are motorboats
and gondolas The gondola is the
old symbol of Venice" It Is a

wide at the middle. At the stern
stands a man known as "gon-
dolier," and he manages the boat
with single oar
Some buildings in Venice are from
four to six stories high, and are
right on the edge of the canals. In
certain cases there is not even a
sidewalk between the buildings and
the water. A person bound for one

CHAPTER 4
HOppy the Toad Gives Advice.


When Louis told Mr.. Meriman,
the ugly fairy, that he was going to
get the magic music box which
would make the Princess smile, Mr..
Meriman shook his head.
You don't know what you are
saying" he protested. You could
never find the witches in ten
thousand years. And even If you
did find them-remember, no man
has ever seen them and lived to
tell about it."
Then, what shall I do?" fret
ted Louis.
Mr.. Meriman sat with his arms
around his knees rocking himself
backwards and forwards. True,
true" he muttered to himself.
Something must be done, for if
the Princess dies there will be no
Christmas In Cameron this year
and perhaps not for many years
to come.
Think of something, Mr.. Meri-
mani" begged Louis. Please think
hard!"
Cant you see I'm thinking
hard?" snapped the fairy. Now
be quiet for moment"
So they sat there beside the
garden well, Louis chewing i'm
patiently on blade of grass and
staring at the fairy while Mr.
Meriman gave his agile mind the
stiffest workout it had had in
many. many Monday.
Finally he stopped rocking and
leaped to his feet. Even standing
he was no higher than ten flngersD
There's nothing else for it,"
he cried. You must go to Santa
Land"
Santa Land" cried Louis, chok-
ing on the blade of grass he had
been sucking. But, how? 1t would
be as easy to get to Poldrex!'
Santa Can Help.
Mr.. Meriman paid no attention.
You must go to Santa Land and
get Santa himself to help you get
the music box"
That is all fooliShness!" pro-
