of this fact may be rather amazed
to find large fish occupying the
log as they begin to saw it. In fact,
it is said that some superstitions
have been circulated concerning the
veracity of the men recounting this
story.
The spawning season of the gou-
jon in Louisiana is during April and
the early part of May. The number
of eggs laid is very great, the loss
not so high as among other fish
neighbors. 1t is claimed the father
guards his babies well.
The adult fish is of a yellowish
color, more or less mottled, with
green and brown. These colors
blend well with the hunting grouids
of the fish which quietly move over
the brown mud bottoms seeking
food.

My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Saturday CarrouseI.


Rockingham: 1t is question in
my mind whether it is proper to
speak of the Christian Sunday as
Sabbath. ". B.
Answer-The word Sabbath is
from the Hebrew SABBATH mean
ing ito rest" Originally, Sabbath
designated only the Jewish day of
rest, but its meaning has been ex-
tended to include the Christian
Sunday.
st. Paul: Clifton Fadiman cor
rected Announcer Ben Grauer for
accenting ARISTOCRAT on the
second syllable, saying that the word
should be accented on the first
syllable. Why?-W. v. C.
Answer-Of eight accepted Amer
lean dictionaries consulted, seven
list the second-syllable accent as
first choice: uh-RISS-toe-krat. The
first-syllable accent is a criticism
Kansas City: We cannot find the
accepted abbrevation for kinder
garten.-L. l.. q.
Answer-Sorry, I cannot find it
either. May I suggest "kgtn."?
Brooklyn: To settle furious ar
gument in our study club, please
give the correct pronunciation of the
name Omar Khayyam.-G. L.
Answer - Omar rhymes with
Homer. The "Kh-" of Khayvam
has a cultural fricative sound like
the "ch" Of the German ZACH" In
my phonetic system, this sound is
represented by the symbol: (ch)
Say: OH-mer (ch) y-YAIM, rhym-
ing "(ch)y-" with "by, my" Most
speakers, however, give to "Kh-"
the sound of "k," as: ky-YAHM.
