Pet Speech Peeve.

Many readers have submitted the
Pet Speech Peeve of misusing
don't for doesn't" But the usual
award goes to Mrs. Daniel Realdon
of Glendale, Calf, for framing the
peeve in this witty verse:
I'm no purist in my chatter,
But there's one thing I eschew:
When some one tells me, 1T don't
matter"
I always answer, But it do!'
The error of saying and writing
"he don't, she don't, it don't" is
surprisingly widespread despite the
fact that it violates the rule in Eng
lish that do" follows Il, you, we,
they" while docs" is correct after
"she, he, it"
Since don't" is the contraction of
do not and doesn't" is the con-
traction of does not the same rule
applies in negative forms. Examples:
Wrong: 1T don't matter. He don't
know. She don't care
Right: 1t doesn't matter. He does
MT know. She doesn't care.
Right: 1 don't know. We don't
know. You don't know. They don't
know.
I used to.
Here is usage that almost every
one is confused about. Used an
intransitive verb, means was acy
customed" and is always followed by
"tc,' as: I used to live on a farm. 1t
is always used in the past tense.
Now many persons omit the ID
and write, Il use to live on farm. "
But use" without I'd" is dialectal
In written English and should be
avoided. (Of course. in speaking, it
is natural for the ID of used" and
the 1T" of "to" to merge into one
sound, as: I yooz-to, or I yooss-to.
This is permissible in speaking; but
the ID should never be omitted in
WritingD
Note that there is no way to use
used" in a negative sense, although
many of us say. II didn't use tused)
to-" This is equivalent to saying Il
did not was accustomed to- which,
obciously, is nonsense, Also avoid
Il usen't to-" There is no such con-
traction as ~'usen't" or ''usedn't."
Can yod name the eight parts of speech? ?
Do you know the part each one plays in
sentence structure? Mr. Colbys lehet,

simple way.

Natures Children
BLOOD FLUKE.
By LiIIion Cox Athey

The worm responsible for the
downfall Of a great nation was not
clever enough to hide its identity
from a science student. About so
years ago a student of parasitic
worms was examining number OF
Egyptian mummies of the twentieth
dynasty 1250-1300 B. c.. When
the student came upon the ellipsoid
bodies with prominent terminal
spines, he knew there could be
no doubt concerning their identity.
It was the blood f1uke, known to
be the source of dangerous disease
still present in Egypt.
The grandeur of ancient Egypt
is we'll known At one time this
nation was the center of culture and
civilization. But they neglected
one important thing - sanitation.
Polluted water harboring the dread
blood f1uke is destroying modern
Egypt today.
What concerns us is that more
than a thousand of our men have
returned from the Pacific area with
blood fluke diseases. No doubt
they waded in the fluke-laden
waters where the larvae of the f1uke
were ready to seize on the final
victims-human beings. The larvae
are known as cerariae and are pro-
vided with means to perfect their
plan. Powerful suckers surround
the mouth and underside of the
body so that when the larvae touch
human tissue they pour out secre.
tions capable of digesting flesh
The ducts of these glands open al
the anterior tip among the spines
that aid penetration. Once the
cercariae have passed through tht
skin, they work their way to the
blood vessels and lymphatics, then
to the heart, lungs and liver tc
develop into mature worms. Al
last they return to the blood vessels
of the bladder and remain there
until the victim dies.
Still Egypt permits her entire
population to be endangered by
blood f1ukes. Children play in the
waters of the Nile where may be
found the snails in which the blood
fluke lays its eggs. Women wash
their illustrious forebears did?

| club Pass 2 no-trump Pass
q no.tr,ntn Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Queen of spades.
Today's hand we have seen many
times before, dressed in perhaps
slightly different garments. 1t deals
with the problem of deciding which
suit to attack first as declarer at
no-trump. The general proposition
that the longest suit should be de-
yeloped first is in most cases sound,
but it is subservient to the prime
purpose Of the hand which is OBJ
tanning nine tricks before the OPP
position gathers in five. Sometimes
a shorter suit will more surely yield
the required tricks than one OF
greater length.
The bidding was quite normal.
North's response of two no-trump
think is the best choice. 1nasmuch
as he is determined to play the
hand at game contract. little Is to
be gained by temporizing with q
one over one response in diamonds.
Unless partner has a very unbal-
anced holding. the future of the
! hand is surely no-trump and I
would prefer to give the enemy no
additional information to. guide
them in the selection Of an OPEN
ing lead and subsequent defense.
1t is close, however. and if the North

would not be inclined to give an
immediate jump because that would
absolutely guarantee game, ana
since my hand would then be some
what short of an opening bid,
would not choose to make such q
commitment In that case would
respond with one diamond and over
two clubs would bid two no-trump.
which is a little bit less vigorous.
The queen of spades was opened
and taken by the king. Declarer
led a diamond to the king and took
the club finesse which lost. Spades
were continued and declarer held
up to the third round. Since only

trick had to be built up, SO de-
clarer led that suit with a prayer
that West held the ace, but East
got in and cashed the setting tricks.
Declarer had played badly in going
for his longest suit first. He could
have insured the contract against
any holding by very simple play.
At the second trick he should lead
heart, his shortest suit. If the
king is permitted to hold the trick.
the club flnesse is taken lmmedi-
ately and nine tricks are assured
even. if it loses. If East takes the
ace of hearts and continues spades,
, declarer will take his ace on the
third round and attack the club
suit in perfect confidence, If West
has another spade it will mean that
East had only four originally. If he
| has no more spades. school is out.
:, The moral is: When some one Is
trying to establish a long suit
against you, your best plan Is to
first take his entry away from him
and then he cannot use the long
suit against you The king of clubs

the worst winter down there In a
generation. Carolina fishermen
reckon years not so much by dates
as by happenings For instance, 1882
is described as "the year New Inlet
opened" This will be the year OF
constant bad winds, seas and cold.
One famous Ocracoke story has to
do with the fellow who was mur-
dered by a gale. 1t blew so hard that
a gust of wind coming through a
keyhole pulled the trigger of a mus
ket hanging on the wall and killed
him. Bill says that after telling you
that as Ocracoker will look you
firmly in the eye and add: "A gust
of wind cooked the musket, too."

NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-The search
for "the new Joe Louis" still con-
tinues after the Eastern Golden
Glove finals. The New York Tour
nament of Champions produced
only one knockout in "a semif1nal
and final amateur bouts.
Only Johnny Saxton Of New
York's Salem Crescent A. G. was
able to dump his man for keeps.
The victim was Luis Ortiz OF Puerto
Rico in a 135-pound semiflnal that
stole the show last night at Madi-
son Square Garden. Saxton later
clinched the title by outpointing
Bob Rosengart of Buffalo.
The sellout crowd of 1926 noted
only a slight facial resemblance
between New York's Coley Wallace,
the newly crowned heavyweight
king, and Louis. Wallace scran1-
bled through to victory without any
show of devastating punching
power.
In fact, Wallace almost was up
set Monday afternoon in the first
round when he just edged out Rocco
Marckegiano of Lowell, Mass. In
last nights double-header program,
he took another close one from
Buffalo's Terry Tague to reach the
finals. His last bout resulted in
an easy win over Bob Baker OF
Pittsburgh.
Many observers thought the best
prospect on the card was Leland
Piuen, stiff punching paratrooper
from Fort Bragg. Pillen, a welter,
whose home town Is Flint, Mich,
represented Charlotte, N. c. In
the earlier rounds, he proved he
could get up of the floor to win
when he outpointed New York S
Everick Agard. After semifinal
edge over Washington's Leo Daugh-
try, he clinched the title by beat
ing 16-year-old Bill McNeice OF
Hampstead. N. Y.
Roland Randall. another Wash
ington hopeful, reached the finals,
where he was eliminated by Floyd
Morris, hard-hitting Pittsburgh
middleweight.
Randall entered the final round
with badly cut eye suffered in the
semifinal bout with Bill Sheldon Of
Charlotte. Randall easily won over
Sneddon.

will be picked to prevail.
Those entered are Woodrow Will
