Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
WORDS TO WATCH

"oftDS ~ WA1Cn
Let's talk about color" words to-
day The names of most colors, of
course, are seldom II ever mispro-
nounced. A few, however. are usu-
ally mispronounced chiefly because
of confusing spelling.
Mauve, for instance, suggests an
Jaw" sound, as in fraud, gauze,
jaunt. which accounts for the mis-
pronunciation "mawv" But the
word is from the French. and in
that language "au" has the sound
of "oh." Mauve, then, should rhyme
with stove.
Likewise. taupe. the French word
for mole" the animal (hence,
"mole-coloredD. Is often given an
erroneous Jaw" sound. But the
vowel sound is "oh," making taupe
rhyme with dope, rope. thus: tope.
Chartreuse. brilliant yellow,
takes its name from the liqueur
which was made originally at the
French monastery la Grande Char
treuse. Avoid hahr-TROOS," the
second syllable rhyming with '1oose,
goose The vowel sound of the sec
ond syllable is approximately the
''u" as heard in Turk. lurk. The So
has the sound of 81" Say: shahr-
TRUZ.
The "g' of beige should not be
pronounced like IL" 1t has the
"zh" sound as heard in measure
azure" Say: bayzh.
And watch fhe second syllable of
azure. Not "AzH-yoor." The lure"
is pronounced "er," to rhyme with
her, per" Say: AZH-er.

Uncle Roy Corner

II you were on desert island.
without any clock or watch, how
would you tell time? Probably you
would do that roughly by watching
the position of the sun.
II you were alone on the island
you would hardly need to do any
more time-telling than that. If you
had a dozen companions. however,
you probably would want to tell time
more closely than by guessing from
| the position of the sun.
Let us say that you and your
friends built huts on different parts
of the island. but wanted to gather
for meals. fishing trips and 50 on.
Wanting to be able to tell time,
the people in each hut might make
shadow clocks or sundials of one
kind or another The sun casts
shadow of different length as the
day goes on. In the morning, and
late in the afternoon, the shadow
is long. As time moves toward
noon the shadow gets to be shorter
and shorter. On the Equator at
noon you will fail to see a shadow.
The first clocks seem to have been
shadow clocks. People in ancient
Egypt used such clocks, and made
marks which divided the daytime
into II parts. That is believed to
have been the origin of our old Gus
tom of speaking of IL hours of day.
light.
What could people learn about
time on days when the sky was
clouded? How could they tell the
time at night?
Because of those troubles, the
water clock" was invented. This
had several forms.
One kind of water clock was a
clay jar with a small hole In the
bottom. The jar was filled with
water, and the water slowly dripped
from the hole When all the water
was gone it meant that a certain
amount of time had passed.
We know that such clocks were
