HOW is SUIT PRONOUNCED?

People in the furniture industry
and in decorating always write
suite of furniture" but pronounce
it "suit of furniture" On the other
hand, they write ''suite" of rooms.
and pronounce it correctly as
sweet"
Now the question is, what is the
correct pronunciation Of the word
suite? Should it have the long "u''
(yoo) sound-syoot-as the diction-
aries show, or is it permissible to
say "soot" to rhyme with "boot, :"
the customary pronunciation in un-
AFFECTED American speech?
Suit is one of number Of So
called "long-u'' words in which the
dictionaries appear to sanction the
'yoo' sound and not the 100"
sound. However, when we read the
pronunciation section in the forepart
Of the dictionary we find that al
though the "longsu" words are
marked with the ''yoo" sound, the
100" sound is also sanctioned and
permissible.

play on courts of the Bluffton Ten
mis- club, opening next Saturday and
continuing through July 27, will find
19 Bluffton players entering compe-
tition in mems and juniors singles
and mems doubles events.
With Bluffton possessing the best
clay courts in the county, the cham
pionship meet is being held here for
the fourth year, and the stimulus
of having the tournament at home
has attracted near-record turnout
of Bluffton competitors.
Fifteen of the 10 Bluffton entries
are i'm the mems division, with the
other four entered in juniors singles
play, it was announced by Woodrow
Little, member of the executive COM
mittee of the Bluffton club, and

said.
To date there has been only one
woman entry, and unless sufficient

Haul Stone for Ovens

4 gang of fellows gathered at the
Bluffton Stone Company quarry last
Thursday evening to load two stone
trucks with slab rock. The stone to
be used for constructing three ovens
at Buckeye park. The loading was
accomplished in short order by the
men who then proceeded to the Buck
eye to watch the trucks dump the
slabs near the oven sites.
Stone is on hand and steel frame
work for the ovens is in place. Lay
ing up the stone viii start soon.
Lending hand with the project
were Gerald Clever, Bill Edwards,
Junior Hankish, A. E. Kohl, Roger
Edwards, Chas. Conrad, Oliver
Steiner, Chas. Winfrey and this
scribe.
Speaking of fishing, Jess Manages
snagged a large pickerel last Thurs
day at the Buckeye. Fishing in
general has slowed considerably, but
anglers still enjoy gathering at the

quarry each evening. As many as )
to II cars are usually on hand at
dusk. Persistant anglers usually
catch enough channels each night to
make it interesting, but the pace is
slow.
John A. Diller, son Weldon and
friends are in upper Ontario on a
fishing trip near North Bay. They
are located near Beaver Cabins. John
last year had excellent luck at that
location.
Wilbur Fish and family and Robert
Bixel are home from fishing jaunt
to Ontario, Canada. Not too many
fish were snagged, but they had
good time. Son Bernard knows how
it feels to face a bear at 20 feet.
Luckily he was down wind from the
bear or the two of them would have
had foot race. One thing sure the
bear would have lost, says Bernard's
dad.

Peasant Movement
Once free Of the Turks, the liberated
Balkan peoples tried to re-establish
their national lives, taking as mod
els the forms Of Western civilization
But the forms did not work very
well in those primitive Balkan en-
vironments. So the Balkan States
fell prey to political inefficiency
and corruption on the part Of their
half-educated ruling classes, while
their natural resources were for the
most part exploited by foreign capi-
tai. Again. their mutual national
rivalries and jealousies, egged on by
foreign influences, resulted in costly
military establishments and bloody
internecine wars.
The terrible experiences of World
War I, when the Balkans were a
major battle-ground between the
Allies, and the central powers, re-
suited in a movement which, if sue
cessfuls might have enabled the
Balkan peoples to settle their own
problems among themselves. This
was the peasant movement known as
the Green International. Through
out the Balkans, the bulk of the
population are peasants, living in
much the same way and with much
the same basic outlook on life. In

especially, peasant parties arose

NEW DELHI.-The worlds worst
bet for an ambitious young man
right now would be the job of
India's maharajahs. They just don't
seem to have much Of future.
The Indian rulers, especially
those with fabulous jewels 6r a
capacity for attention-getting high
living, long have been the wonder
of the western world. Now the
powerful forces OF nationalism de-
mand that they either become con-
stitutional monarchs or get out.
Already they are regarded largely
as anachronisms.
Varying Plans
India is becoming Independent
soon, probably in August, when two
Hindu and Moslem majority domin-
ions are to take their places in
the British commonwealth, prepara-
tory to complete British with
drawal by June, l94S, after a CEN
tury of colonial rule.
At that time the 565 Indian
states, some of them as large as
Italy or France but most Of them
of smaller sizes ranging down to
one square mile, also will become in
dependent. But it is an independ-
ence which, from British official
statements, will deny them status
as commonwealth domimons. They
can join Hindustan or Pakistan, or
stand apart and make treaties with
both. -. he~f5 8
Some Of the larger states, like
Hyderabad and Travancore, are ex-
pected to hold aloof and treat with
the partitioned dominions OF Brit
ish India. Others among the 565,
whose area is about two-f1fths OF
India and whose populations total
about 9O,O00000, have indicated
they will join Hindustan's Constit-
uent Assembly. Many more have
not yet said what they plan to do.
If they join Hindustan or PAX
istan it is almost a foregone con-
clusion that they must give up
their absolute powers and become
constitutional monarchs. Both the
Congress and the Moslem League
have said their sections Of British
India would be democracies and the
Congress in particular has been
vociferously demanding an end Of
the princes autocratic rule.
Although some constitutional
progress has been made in the
