Uncle Ruy's Corner BY Ro"o" coff"o"

On December day in the year
1881, sailing vessel left a British
seaport. 1t was named the Beagle
and was a brig with 10 guns.
No purpose of war was to be
served by that brig, despite the
guns. It was simply government
vessel which was starting on a
voyage of exploration. 1t had q full
set of officers and sailors, but most
important among them was a young
man only "a years old. His name
was Charles Darwin.
Few persons, If any, thought that
Darwin was important-at the time
He was simply new college grad
uate with an interesting job. He
was the naturalist of the expedition.
: Up to that time Darwin had
shown little proof that he would dc
anything Of note. His father had
failed twice in efforts to get him to
follow a profession. First, at the
I University of Edinburgh, the youth
had started to study to become a
doctor, but had. given that up,
Then, after study to become min
lister at Cambridge, he had decided
against such a line of work.
Would he come back from the
voyage without finding the right
track? *@
Time was to tell the answer.
Darwin soon found that the things
he saw along the way were delight
TO him. AS part Of his duty, he
took notes about what he saw, but
he made more notes and longer
notes than would have been enough

By Frank Colby

near as 1t can be done by English
phonetic spelling) the approximate
sound of individual French words,
standing by themselves.
In pronouncing individual words,
it is the custom of all reputable
authorities to stress the final syll-
able. Here is a direct quote from
The New Chardenal, by Grosjean,
very widely taught French text
book: Important note. In pro-
nouncing French words always
stress lightly the last syllable, ex-
cept when the word ends with an
unaccented e."
If you should ask a Frenchman
to pronounce such individual words
as the following, he would surely
stress the final syllable: Monsieur,
avoir, toujours, depuis, alors, fran
cais, premier, ami, facile, cuisine,
malade, histoire, etc. Gn all the
years I have been writing this COL
unln, no native Frenchman has ever
criticized me for stressing the final
syllable of individual words.)
So I shall continue here to follow
the practice Of all our reputable
dictionaries and show o stress on

Is French a Language
without ANY Accents?

A Mr.. Charles Coulter, in a recent
letter to the editor of the Washing
ton Cd. c. Star, criticizes me
severely for placing the accent on
the last syllable of most French
words. He declares emphatically
that French is "a language that has
no accents" adding that "it would
be better if Mr.. Colby stuck to Eng
lish and left French (Which appar-
emily he doesn't know welD to bet
ter informed writer's"
I know, of course, that French Is
said to be a language without ac-
cents. But syllable stress does oc-
cur in spoken French, that is, If it
is spoken correctly. The stress Is
not as pronounced as in English,
and it does not occur in every word
in a sentence. The position of a
word in the sentence determines
whether or not the final syllable Is
stressed.
However, this column seldom dis
cusses sentences In French. But 1t

octopus, he observed how it moved
in the water, and soon he obtained
a young octopus to keep in his
cabin. He wrote down the fact
that it glowed little in the dark.
Pausing in Brazil, Darwin and
some of the others made journey

Nome's city streets were dust proofed for the summer last week. The city council borrowed a dis tributor from the CAA there, and smeared 25 barrels of oil over Nome's main thoroughfares in the campaign against dust.
 The council discussed the grow ing overcrowdedness in the Nome school and agreed to talk of the matter with the school board in a special session. It is possible it will be necessary to purchase tenn porary huts and mount them on foundations adjacent to the pres ent school plant, to take care. of the growing school population.
