T axe Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Saturday Question Bee.

Louisville: The word ready" is
commonly used as verb in the
South. Here's an ad headed. Let
Us Ready You for the Easter Pa
rade." What do you think OF it?-
w. r.
Answer: Most of my dictionaries
give complete sanction to ready as
a verb, meaning Ito make ready, to
prepare" Another form of ready
often heard in the South is the
word redd, as to redd up the house,
to redd up room Ito tidy and put
in 6rder). 1t is colloquial usage.
@. I use the "z" sound in diesel
(engine). My husband says that
every one he knows gives it the "ss"
sound, as in miss" Which is right2
Mrs. R. R. K.
Answer: The dictionaries insist on
DEE-z'll. However, it is my belief
that DEE-sll now prevails in Ameri-
can usage.
Little Rock: Is it correct for a
store clerk TO ask, Can help you?"
when you enter a store?-W. P.
r Answer: To be strictly correct, the
clerk should ask, May help you?"
However, in colloquial usage can"
for may" is widely heard
Kansas: Please give the correct
pronunciation of the word turquoise.
D
Answer Either TUR-kois or TUR-
kwois. The first prevails in Ameri-
can usage. incidentally, turquoise
is the French word femininel for
Turkish" because the stones were
first brought to France from Turkey.
Milwaukee: The clash In Palestine
has dislocated my terminology Ev-
erywhere l heard the Arab forces
called "Arabians."
Answer: Strictly speaking, 1t Is
correct, for Arabia and Arabian are
formed from the name Arab. In
modern usage, however, Arabian
means "of or pertaining to Arabia"
The forces opposing the Israeli are
properly referred to as Arabs.
F. R. B. of Little Rock thunders
learnedly at we for acknowledging
MaLlEt- Juut-Il III dS Vic PlNFdiAl6
American pronunciation (which, Of
course, it is, of the word margarine.
He cites the fact that "g" is always
hard before "a" which is true. But
American usage often violates
rules" and goes contrary to the
dogmaS of scholars and makers of
dictionaries.
Since MAHR- Juh-rin is overwhel-
mingly preferred in America, I'm
not going to waste my time and my
readers time in preaching against
it. My job Is to report good usage
as accurately as human frailty will
permit. MAHR- -juh-rin Is good U.s.
age. I'm afraid r. r. B. will have
to learn to like 1t.

WASHING N

Now that summer is here we
r all concerned with laundering
our cotton dresses. Most of the
cotton fabrics wash liks rags, but
some of the colors are not fast
colors." So to saw you moments
of evaporation (and incidentally
a few cleaning bills) there are
ways to protect, yet wash, those
gay fabrics. Specialists in the
laundry have found the following
tips, if followe, carefully, to be
reliable.
First be sure the garment is
colorfast. If you're not sure, place
a corner of the article in a bowl
of hot water and let it soak for
a few seconds. Then squeeze it
out, and notice whether the water
has become colored. If the garment
is fast, wash it according to the
follow the instructions under "un-
fast colore
sast Col0rs
/. Make a mechanical soak. Fill
the washing machine tub with
cool or tepid water to the water
line, start the activator, drop in
the clothes, and run the activator
for 8 to s minutes. Then spin or
wiring, and drain water from the
tub. Longer soaking is not adj
visable for colored clothes as even
guaranteed-fast colors with fade
and occasionally bleed.
2. Make quick activator wash in
mildly hot water. Fill tub with
water not over no. f. mot too
hot for your hands). Hotter water
might fade the dyes. Add liquid
soap. whip up suds with activator,
add clothes and wash for 6 to s
minutes.
3. Damp-dry the tubful in the
spin basket or wringer.
4. Make one quick mechanical
rinse Of q minute or two in water
which Ia preferably slightly cooler
than the washing water.
5. Make another short mechani-
cal rinse in cool water.
6. Add starch. When starch
ing colored clothes, do not have
starch as hot as for white clothes.
Let it cool after boiling until it
is comfortable to the hands. Group
garments of similar color, turn
inside out and dip in starch. Starch
may show streaks when used on
very dark fabrics IF this hap
pens, use gum arabic instead of
Starch.)
z. Hang in shade.
Unfast Colors
Never soak garments with un-
fast colors. The only way to wash
them with any degree OF safety
is to wash them as quickly as
possible in soapy lukewarm water,
of 1907 F. or less, and follow with
two quick rinses-one lukewarm
and n cool. A salt solution Tor
binary table salt dissolved in
water) added to the water before
washing will help to "set" colors.
Damp-dry the garments by spin
ming, or wringing, and hang at
once in the shade. Never let wet
colored fabrics lie in a heap.
If colors in a garment start to
run during washing. do not hang
mp, but lay on a flat surface.
Place a towel between any two
layers of the clothing to prevent
their bleeding into each other. II
the case of a dress or a Jacket,
run a towel into each sleeve and
one between the front ana back,
to prevent ~dtscoloration and
streaking. If colors run onto the
towel. ordinary washing or a mild
bleach will usually remove them.
Iron the garment as soon as suf-
ficiently damp-dry.

district. He felt the school was not
enforcing the school laws relative
~ fire escapes and escape routes,
and that the children in that school
were endangered by blind hall
ways, dead-end rooms, with only
one entrance and no exits ana
that we as taxpayers in the dist
rict should be a little nervous ap-
out the whole thing.
These are items that we all
know to exist! The question now
comes to my mind of whether this
school district should obllgate
themselves to the extreme the
laws will allow for temporary
schools elsewhere, without first
making, our own school safe. If, on
the recommendation of the State
Fire Marshall, the entire building
should be condemned, what are
we in Columbia Falls going to do
for a school? Would we end up
with an inadequate school in Mar
tin City, questionably sufficient
schools in Coram and no school in
Dam Town, none here in Columbia
Falls. and the district bonded TO
the limit? It is my opinion that
our own school should be put in
order first, with such a condition
prevailing. I do not feel that eth
err my children or your children
are in a safe and adequate build
ing here.
In view of these things, I feel,
and intend to do all that is possible
to show the voters here that we as
citizens here, should by all means
make a different approach on the
school problem. I feel that there
should be new blood on the school

aspirants for the position from

1 have noticed in recent issues

able discussion of the school prob

other neighboring communities. l
would call your opinions on the
school subject very fair, in view of
the many issues involved.
would like to take this occas-

In doing SO, I hope that my OPP
inion will not be misconstrued to
read that my feelings are for Co
lumbia Falls alone, and to hell with
the other districts. That is not my
intent, nor the case in any sense.
am merely voicing my personal
opinion as a taxpayer with one
child in the fifth grade and anoth-
er who will attend school next
year.
Today, I spent the morning and
part of the afternoon with Mr..
Jack Carney, Chief Fire Marshall
for the State of Montana, who was
in town on business. Mr.. Carney is
a valued employee of the State
and in his capacity as State Fire
Marshall is interested in all fire
preventative measures. The well
fare of individuals involved in the
event of a conflagration is of vital
to him, and makes Pc
inspections imperative.
After looking over the present
grade school here, I was advised
by Mr.. Carney that he felt that
the building was in such a deplor-
able condition that the Talbot
school should be condemned COM
pletely. He felt that if he did con-
denim the building, it would create
a very. extreme hardship on the
