T axe Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Readers Want to Know.


Hollis: My friend says that the
word adamant is pronounced
"a-DAM-ant" because it was SO
given on the radio. Please discuss.
B. S. S.
Answer: Competent broadcasters
are careful about their pronuncia-
tions. But I do not know of any
one on the air who is accepted as
an authority on pronunciation.
There is no sanction for "a-DAM-
ant" All authorities list: AD-uh-
mant.
Pittsburgh: Please give the cor
rect pronunciation of the cloth
percale.-Mrs. j. NJ
Answer: Dictionary consensus Is:
per-KAIL. However, many Ameri-
cans say per-KAL, a pronunciation
which is listed as second choice
by Thorndikes Century. I rather
think that per-KAL is widespread
in Standard American. 1t is very
similar to the French, from which
language the word comes.
Dayton: There is a kind OF ape
called "giboon," but the word is not
in my dictionary. Why is this?-
A. D.
Answer: "Giboon" is a common
misspelling due to false association
with the word baboon. The ape you
refer to is the gibbon 1.-TWO "b's" and
one "o"), and the pronunciation Is
GIB-un, the "g" hard as in gift,
girl"

AN ENDORSEMENT

Sometime ago, the Filipino Community of Seattle and
Vicinity sent petition to the Philippine Government signed
hundreds of Filipino citizens in the Northwest requesting
Rhe establishment of Philippine Consulate in Seattle
before that written petition sent official delegation of
The Filipino Community met and interviewed Vice President
Ind concurrenty Secretary of Foreign Affairs Epdo OUR
Francisco and argued for the immediate establish
sment of consulate in Seattle
Forum enthusiastically endorses this petition of the
Filipino Community of Seattle and Vicinity.
Will a Philippine Consulate be established in Seattle
Boon? This has been question often asked by Filipino
citizens in the Pacific Northwest Let look at recent
Events.
After since Consul General Roberto Regalas visit to
Seattle sometime in May consular work has been done
and off in this city by members of the Philippine Consulate
in San Francisco Vice Consul DiOnisO spent two weeks
here in May and recently here for another week
reforming duties of consular nature DiOnisiO has just
left for San Francisco but clerk of the San Francisco con-
ate Seattle With the graduation of few more
Ruainees in the State Department in Washington D. Co.
like jobs have to be created for these consular neo-
kytes Seattle with few weeks experimentation in con-
&ar duties will likely be of the next cities where Phil
mne consulaes will be established This is just analysis
the situation the Secretary of Foreign Affairs has the
final say the matter. -
We endorse the idea as something the Pacific
Northwest long needed And in our endorsement we only
wish to hope that the best available of Filipino personnel
be engaged represent in the Northwest the youngest
most ambitious republic the face of the earth today
The "compadre" system, which have heard SO much
bout in Philippines is rotten system anytime, any
where and we hate to its sembance here.

"But if our independence was
formally proclaimed amid setting
of desolation, there was no feeling
of defeat among the people on the
Luneta, and among the millions of
others in every town and hamlet of
the Philippines where similar cele-
brations were being held at that
hour. There was on the other hand
observable feeling of firm de-
termination among the same people
who had refused to be beaten even
during the darkest hours of enemy
occupation. They had suffered as
few people in modern times have
suffered under the heel of enemy
occupation, and on this hour of
their greatest triumph the destruc-
ton that was still around them
failed to dampen their will to
mould for their country an escut-
cheon worthy of the best traditions
of those who for three centuries be-
fore them fought and died that the
Philippines might be free"
Consul Regala then paid tribute
to the contributions of Filipinos in
continental United States toward
the winning of the war and added:
Sturdiness and Courage
"Now that the war has been won,
now that independence has been
achieved, it does not mean at all
that we should relent in our efforts
to do all we can that our country
may keep its dignified position in
the concert of sovereign powers.

quote what dynamic President
Roxas said year ago today short

first president of the new Republic.
Among other things. he stated:
"'As we stand at this moment,

Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

Coffee has been roundly abused
often and defended seldom, for the
reason that it needs no argument
to drink it and a good deal of per-
suasiOn to keep from drinking it.
There are some who claim that
it is pure poison and should never
be touched. This is an extreme
view.
AS far as the normal working OF
the human organism is concerned
coffee is not necessary. It is not a
food-it is a stimulant-and any
one would be just as well off if he
never touched it. At the same time
it doubtless does little harm to at
least 81 per cent of the people who
take it and it helps a little to al
leviate the drabness of life.
It is probably the least injurious
of stimulants.
People who are representative
to alkaloids however, should let
tea, coffee and cocoa alone, or be

Tut-ankh-Amen. For nobody knows
exactly when it was discovered.
Vessels loking very much like mod
ern coffee pots have been found in

It was in 900 A. D., however, that
coffee was first mentioned in lit

The whole ripe berries, which were
red and loked like cranberries,
were crushed and moulded into
food balls, held in shape with fat,
and were used by the wandering
tribes of Africa in their long
marches.
The first coffee drunk was a
kind of a wine made from the hulls
of the berries. Indeed, the name
coffee comes from the Arabian
qahwah, meaning wine.
Coffee was first drunk as medi-
cine. Its use as a beverage dates
back at least 600 years.
Coffee, like tobacco, is used all
over the world. It is a democratic
beverage and is patronized equally
by the common laborer and the
