English Grammar.

Most grammar books tell you that
the possessive case should not be
used in referring to animals or in
animate subjects. It is wrong, they
say, to speak of "the stores man
agement." We should say "the man
agement of the store" 1t is naughty
to speak of "the horses feet" One
must say. "the feet of the horse, y
and so on.
Many teachers drum this into
the heads of their English classes
because, DIR. Shrdlus book warns
against it." Teacher tells the class
do not say I petted Towser's head.
Say, I petted the head of Towser.' -
Such a rule is nonsense. 1t has
never been observed since English
became a language. Yet the text
books continue to spread the super
stition. Here is a direct quotation
from the College Handbook of Com
position, by Woolley and Scott; II
is typical of practically all books on
grammar: Avoid the use of the
possessive case for inanimate OBJ
jects: use an of-phrase."
Well, let's see:
Where the bee sucks, there suck
II; in cowslip's bell I lie."-The
Tempest. "A jest's prosperity lies
in the ear of him that hears it,
Loves Labour's Lost. Thou wear a
lions hide" king John.
"As jewel of gold in a swine S
snout. Proverbs. "At their wits
end. Psalm. The suns rim dips
-Coleridge. "A primrose by riv-
er's brim. ."-Wordsworth.
These possessives are entirely cor
rect: A weeks delay; a days work;
hairs breadth; two weeks vaca-
ton; for PHYS sake; journeys end:
the books contents; the boats
length; at swords points; out OF
harms way; the suns rays: the
courts decree: the flowers perfume
the rivers bank; the waters edge;
the ships sails; the dawn's early
light; the twilight's last cleaning.

When partner utters a bid that is
somewhat out Of the ordinary rou-
tine it Is well to pause for moment
and ask yourself, II wonder what
he means?" Such a pause might
have refreshed the South player OF
today's hand and saved him several
hundred points.
Vests double of the opening bid
would be approved by even the most
conservative investor. 1t was rather
easy for North to sense that the op-
position probably held game hand
against him and, in an effort to
block out the expected heart re-
Spouse, he properly leaped to three
spades. He was tempted to go the
whole way with a bid of four, but
was deferred by considerations OF
vulnerability. The loss might be
too severe. East, of course, had not
sufficient values for free bid at
that level and was obliged to pass.
Had South passed, West would have
found himself in the predicament
commonly referred to by tourna-
ment players as fix" 1t is some
what doubtful that he would have
had the temerity to compete at this
level opposite passing partner;
and South might have bought the
hand for the bargain price OF 100
points.
South looked at his hand and saw
four honor tricks. A false pride
seemed to take hold of him and he
proceeded to game. Vests penalty
double translated this act into a
5OO-point sting. Had he but stopped
to ponder the question, Does part
ner have a good hand?" the answer
would have been clearly in the neg
stive.
If North has not a good hand, the
question arises, who is going to take
care of all South's losers. The an
swer seems to us is probably West.
A Jump by openers partner. after
an intervening takeout double Is not
indicative of strength. If openers s
partner wishes to give the impress
sion of strength and to overcome
the psychological disadvantage ac-
cruing from the adverse double, he
has at his disposal very simple de-
vice, namely the redouble. This Is a
technical way of announcing
strength and the redoubler is at lib
erty to do his descriptive bidding on
later rounds. The Jump raise in this
situation is now generally acknow-
lodged as a mere barricade against
the opposition.

While Alfred Russell Wallace lay
sick, his mind was busy with the
great problem: why are there SO
many species of insects, mammals
and so on? Why do some kinds of
animals die off while others keep
their race alive?'
In the midst Of his fever, he be-
lieved that he found the answer
The species must come into being to
meet special needs of life. Those an
imals which could meet their needs
would live, and those which failed to
do so would die. The fit would live
on, but the others would pass away.
There he was, this 35-year-old
scientist, on one of the islands OF
the East Indies, on the other side OF
the world from Great Britain. Yet
his thoughts Travelled back to his
native land. He decided to tell about
his ideas in a letter to an older
scientist, a man by the name OF
Charles Darwin.
That is how Darwin happened to
receive one day letter with an out
line of "the theory of natural selec-
ton" Without Wallace having
known about 1t, Darwin was busy at
the time in getting a book ready for
a publisher, book on the very same
subject!
Instead of rushing to publish his
book, 50 that he would have the first
honor for the new theory, Darwin

had written himself on the subject

came after them, stirred the world
People grew excited when they
talked about the doctrine of evolu-

described.
Both Darwin and Wallace acted In
a gentlemanly way. Wallace learned
that the older scientist had been
working longer in this field, and de-
clared that Darwin should have the
credit for the theory of evolution.
Returning to Great Britain, Wal
lace spent his time in writing and
in learning more about science. He
died in 1918, at the age of 80.

Former Vice President The Pullman
Company Joins Valley National Bank

PHOENIX, Aug. s. James M.
Carry, former vice president of the
Pullman Company, Chicago, has
joined the new business depart
ment of the Valley National Bank,
a cor din 6 to an announcement
made today by Walter r, Bimson,
president of the statewide financial
institution.
Carry. Al, graduated from Cor
nell University and started work
for the Pullman Company as a
stenographer in the presidents of
flee. His business career advanced
rapidly. He became chief clerk in
the Secretary's office in 1892, as
sistant secretary in 1888, assistant
to the vice president in 1912, and
vice president of the operating de-
partment in 1914.
AS a Pullman Company vice
president, Carry was in charge OF
maintenance of car fleets, assign
ment of rolling stock to the rail-
roads, and supervised the work OF
some 10000 employees.
In June, 1947, as a result of a
decree in an antitrust suit, the
stock of the Pullman Company was
acquired by the contract railroads.
Most of the principal officers OF
Pullman resigned, but Carry re-
manned at the request of the new
owners until September, when the
transition period was completed.

REPEAL THIS CLASS, TAX

In the latter part of March, the Canadian government
repealed it's special tax transportation The result is
that thousands of Americans have been fockng
the border to buy rail- air. bus and steamship tickets The
manager of air line office in Canada said, eve have
had trouble getting enough ticket agents to handle the
blsiness.'
The for this is that the United States still has
its Is per cent tax commercial transportatonbut it
does not apply to tickets sold Canada though those
tickets will be mostly used for travel within the u S. It
is reported that many people writing to friends in
Candad to buy tickets for them and mail them Blocks
of tickets purchased in Canada have been appearing in
volume at such distant points Los Angeles.
Here is of the why sentiment for repeal
ofthe special transportation tax is swiftly gaining in
volume. The tax, to begin with, was emergency
measure designed to act deterrent to civilian travel
at time when all transportation systems strained
to the limit No call travelling luxury.
The solution is simple repeal tax whose reason for
being longer exists

"Sick" Plants Need
Treatment and Care

If your ornamental plants look
sick, the trouble may be poWdery
mildew, says Harvey F. Tate, horti-
culturist for the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at the University
of Arizona.
Powdery mildew is bad pest
that shows up on several orna-
mental plants. It is particularly bad
on roses and evonymous plants
that are in shade or partial shade
When the white spots first show up,
dust with busting sulphur.
In watering be careful not to wet
foliage, as this will only make the
mildew worse. Mildew is also bad
on zinnias during the season when
the humidity is high. Here again
do not wet the foliage. If sprink-
lers throw water on these plants,
try to divert it by setting a board
near the side of the sprinkler head.
On evonymous plants that are
heavily infected with powderly mil
dew, it is best to use a liquid spray
of potassium sulphide. To make the
spray solution, dissolve 1 ounce of
potassium sulphide in one quart OF
hot water. After the chemicals have
dissolved, add this to Z quarts OF
cold water.
In preparing the solution use
only porcelain or glass container
and stir with stick. Be careful
in handling the material as it is
a deadly poison. In using it, keep
it stirred and spray the plants
thoroughly.

3-Way Approach Fail!
To Provide Solution
For Hawiian Strike
By The Assoeiotsd Press

HONOLULU, June 25.-A solu-
ton to Hawaii's 56-day-old long,
shore strike was approached from
three angles today, but appeared
as distant as ever.
The 1000 stevedores Of the CIO
international Longshoremens and
Warehousemen's Union struck
May /, demanding q pay increase
from 31.40 to $l.72 an hour. En-
ployers offered a 12-cent raise,
then withdrew the offer.
Direct negotiations were re-
sumed Friday after being broken
OF May 20, but the new session
did not get anywhere. Negotia-
tors agreed to talk again Monday.
Delay Seen in New Offer.
Union spokesmen said they
doubted the employers would
make any pew offer before the
Governors special fact-f1ndlng
board reports next week. This
board took thousands Of words OF
testimony in a five-day session
and now is preparing to suggest
settlement.
The board is due to report by
next Thursday. but neither side
is bound to accept its findings.
Meanwhile, Joseph r. Earring
ton, Hawaiis delegate to Congress,
met today with the territorial leg
islature. He returned Wednesday
from Washington to get first-hand
information on the strike and q
possible solution. He said he was
stumped.
The direct negotiations. resumed
at the request Of Acting Gov. Oren
e. Long, showed the gap existing.
The union offered to move of"
its 32-cent raise demand If the
employers would move of" their
12-cent offer. The employers re-
piled that their 12-cent offer had
been Withdrawn previously.
Local Conditions Stressed.
Philip Maxwell, employer spokes-
man. said employers were willing
to bargain on the basis that local
conditions should govern the wage
issue. The union held to its con-
tention that wages should be with
in 10 cents Of West Coast stevedore
pay. now $1.82 an hour.

man, repeated the union desire
for arbitration. Employers oppose
arbitration because 1t would leave

party with no financial RESPONSE
