BETTER
ENGLISH
BY w. L. LASSITER

sometimes it is difficult to diff
lerentiate between slang and gram
matically correct expressions. Many
terms which seem to be slang are
really good English.
Here are a few examples:
Hard Hit, Brace Up, Rough It..
10 Duck, To Gust, To Loaf, To Cut
A Figure, The Why's and Where
1ores, The Forties, Willy Niily,
pfoxy, Bugbear, Hunaburg, Hoax.
IomtolIery, Bamboozle, Whoop
Nlnny Skinflint, Milksop.
How can one be certain when
such terms seem to be slang? There
IS only one way the use of a
standard dictionary
NICKNAMES
Many writers have a habit of nj
closing nicknames in quotation
marks. This is not necessary when
the person, whether in real life
or fiction, are. known by their nick
names altogether or as commonly
as by their proper names. Examples
OF this are: Babe Ruth (who is al
most never called Herman RLth) :;
Buck Leonard (whose real name
is Walter Leonard) Big Bill Tilden
(William Tilden).
OF course where the persons are
not so well known by their nick
names, it is proper to use quotation
marks. 1t is also wise in such
cases, to give their real names in
order to avoid the possibility of a
mistake on the part of the reader
in identifying the persons.
OF for HAVE
One of the most common faulty
expressions in oral English is the
use of OF for HAVE in combina-
ton with certain verbs Examples:
Could of, may of, might of. should
of, would Of, mist of, ought to Of
This illiterate corruption probab
ly is due in part to our effort tt
speed up our oral expression. II
would be better however, to lose
this small fraction of time and say
instead: could HAVE, may HAVE
might HAVE, should HAVE, would
HAVE, must HAVE. ought to
| HAVE

0uestion-How many different
words are there in the Bible? Il
Answer-In the Authorized, or
King James Version, there are said
to be about seven thousand differ
ent words.
Q.-What does "Mizpah" mean2 Z
Alt means Watch-tower; and is
the name of the place where Laban
said to Jacob: THE Lord watch be-
tween me and thee, when we are
absent one from another" Genesis
81:49.
Q.-since Adam and EVE had
only two children, and both Of them
were boys, where did the human
race come from?
A.-The Holy Bible says that
Adam "begat sons and daughters"
Genesis 5:4), and that Eve was
'the mother of all living" Genesis
1920.
al hear people talk about "Goc.
trine." What is doctrine?
A.-'Doctrine" means teaching
that which is taught. When Jesus
was On trial, the high priest asked
Him Of His doctrine. John 1919.

3:16) a
; Q.-someone said the red, white,
and blue Of the flag came from the

A.-The three colors were prom
inent in the tabernacle of Israel.

wicked in Proverbs 11:7?
A.-The wicked hope for good

with hes ye have -. strengthened
the hands of the wicked, that he
should not return from his wicked
way, by promising him life" Eze-
kiel 1922.
Q.-How soon will God forgive
me if repent? I
Alt is recorded in the Scrip
lures that when the prophet Nathan
pointed out David's great sin, 'sDa-
vid said unto Nathan, / have sinned
against the Lord. And Nathan said
unto David, The Lord also hath put
away thy sin; thou shalt not die"
Samuel -: 13. AS soon as he truly
repented, he was forgiven. In 2
Chronicles TIA we read: IF My
people pray /. then will / !. =.
forgive their sim" No time lag is re-
corded between repentance and
forgiveness.

The Road To Health

of the attack often depends upon
the general physical condition of
the individual. A person who is run
down loses his resistance to the
invading organisms which infect
the tonsils and he may become
very ILL
Without proper care during an at
tack of tonsilitis, the patient may
suffer serious consequences. There
is danger that pneumonia may de-
velop and there is also danger that
kidney trouble may result.
1t might seem that a quick cure
for tonsilitis would be to remove
the diseased tonsils. But this would
be dangerous The tonsils should
never be removed during an attack
The operation might cause the in
fection to spread to other parts OF
the body.
1t is often advisable to remove
the tonsils after the attack and af-
ter the patient has regained his
strength. The advice of the doctor
should be followed as to whether
such an operation is necessary. One
attack of tonsilitis may be followed
by another
While rest and frequent gargling
with warm water and plain table
salt may relieve a sore throat, a
doctor should be consulted if the
tonsils become swollen nr show
other signs of disease

Veterans
Aid
BY w. X. TWEEDY
Veterans Counselor USES

Heretofore, we have discussed
the agencies that were established
to render specific services to re.
turning servicemen Today, the
topic concerns the main obligations
the veteran owes to his country, to
his community, and finally to him
self when comes home to start life
and triflers and the eyes Of those
anew.
Most civilians have heard that
the services made our men brutes
who have these thoughts are foe
ussed on us and too many of us ale
proving their accusations true.
One of the firste obligations OF
an x-serviceman is to make an
honest attempt to reestablish him
self and to make himself real citi
in The community regardless of his
having lived in their particLlay
community before. Now, all of US
want high wages, but it takes very
little reasoning to conclude that
unless we are qualified to do some
particular type of work and to do
it we'll, that we just wont be a
high wage Garner regardless of our
living in any particular section of
the country. There are too many of
us who are unprepared to demand
high wages who do SO. and refuse
to. work at all if our demands are
not met To the men who are quail
fled. l say continue to demand. and
demand again.
Another obligation of veterans is
that of voting, just as it is the oD-
legation Of every loyal citizen. Vet
ing is aprerequisite of good citi-
zenship.
When the teen-aged youngsters
were first drafted, the cry was
raised that since they were too
young to vote they were too young
to fight. Quite a few of those
same. fellows have since that time
been returned to their homes and
the most of them now of voting
age. but Just how many Of them
have made an attempt to register
and vote? Too often we are happy
to have al good excuse for cur in
activity but when the caLse is re-
moved. we only begin looking for
another one to cover up the real
cause which lies within us
There have been many instances
in the past two years in which the
votes of our returning servicemen
could have put the right man in
office. This happened while We
the voteless heroes of World War
II, sat mumbling about the scarcely
of opportunities we have left.
The public is certainly watching
our every step. Let us wake up and
become conscientious of this fact
and begin taking an active part III
everything that goes TO make our
community better place in which
to live.

Trippi High Mon On l946 Williamson AIl-Americo
] may ROhlnDOn

Messrs. Trippi, Blanchard, Bald. win and Connor in that order gained the most points in the iD4e bale anced poll of the Williamson Na- tlonal Football system.
 The Systems ie40 An.American selections, as perenially were made under c set of hard-bolled statisti- cai laws and calculations which are independent of personal equation, unsclentific polling methods, and sectional bias.
 Keeping close check week after week or more than 800 collegiate football teams over the nationals the williamson system has done afl- nually for years - has demonstrat- ed quite clearly to us that plunging and running, tossing and receiving have been developed to c state of par excellence in every section of the land, and that repeated grani. tic goal line stands and fine block. ing have become as well the coFl- mon property of forinerly-calied ob- scure regions as of the thickly popu. lataed centers. There were many outstanding players on so-called minor" teams in io46 who would have bid for All-America candidacy had they played on major teams. That has been usual for % years oT more now.
 Comparison
 Since Texas Tech, for example, won eight games in a slap, bang. tip, major league schedule of II contests, the system did not con- sider 1t anywhere near appropriate to look upon Texas Tech all-star candidates as of So-called "Lattle All-AYnerican" calibre.
 Likewise for Hardin-S Simmons and other traditionailH-aalled minor" outfits which within the past decade or so hlave graduated definitely into blg-tifne football. Remember3 Clyde Bulldog" Turner. considered by many to be the greatest of ell pro centers, was named to Big" All-America from Hardin-Simmons by the Williamson System several years ago.
 The following steps were followed in siInmering down the selections:
