only to show the duration of the
sound. BY short "a" we mean that
sound resembling the "a" sound
in hat, no matter how lung it takes
the speaker to say the "a"
If you use short "a" in the
third syllable of apparatus, you
literally put the RAT in the con-
TRAPtion. But so do hundreds of
our fellow Couiops. Most of us in
formally pronounce the word ap-
paratus as: AP-uh-RAT-uss.
In formal speech, and whenever
the occasion demands, the word ap-
paratus may get bit of exter-
minating. RAT becames RAY: AP-
uh-RAY- -tuss. Now the "a" in the
third syllable is said to be long, or
has the sound of "a" in late, mate,
late" The long "a" is the easiest of
the "a" sounds to remember by
name because it sounds like the
name of the latter "a" itself.
The broad "a" is any "a" pro-
nounced "ah," as in "ah, ha; blah,
blah."

Take My Word for 1t

Fort Wayne: My speech teacher
tells me that I should use long
"a" not short a." in the third
syllable of the word apparatus
Why doesn't she pronounce the
word for me? don't get all this
business about long "a's' and short
"a's."-M. S, B.
Answer: My young friend, you
are now a full-f1eoged member OF
the overcrowded Society for Cotiops
CONFUSED on the Issue Of Phonetic
Symbols. So let a fellow member
share your shoulder.
In general discussions Of pronun-
citation we often confuse the quail
ty of sound with the quantity OF
sound by saying that such and
such a vowel is long or short. Ac-
tually, if a New Englander pro-
nounced the word hat quickly, the
"a would be short. His fellow
countryman in the Southwest might
say the word so that the "a" would
be twice as long, as: ha-at. In this
respect, the word long is used

THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION

Dear Neighbor:

Dear Neighbor:
1t is once again the holiday sea
son which heralds the worlds
celebration of the Chris, Child's
birthday.
Throughout the many lands, the
people of many countries have par
taken of the spirit and the cele-
bration of Christmas. One cannot
help but be warmed in the heart
by the realization that on the birth
day of the Christ child, the peace
loving and God-fearing peoples of
the world are for the most part
united in a common cause.
One of the warmest Christmas
messages is contained in book,
"The Spirit of Christmas" by
Henry Van Dyke, who wrote, ''It
is a good thing to observe Christ
mas Day. The mere marking of
times and seasons. when men
agree to stop work and make
merry together, is wise and
wholesome custom.
"It helps one to feel the supre-
macy of the common life over the
individual life. 1t reminds a man
to. set his own little watch, now
and then, by the great clock of
humanity which runs on sun time.
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas Day,
and that is, keeping Christmas.
''Are you willing to forget what
you have done for other people,
and to remember what other peo-
pie have done for you; to ignore
what the world owes you, and to
think what you owe the world;
to own that probably the only good
reason for your existence is not
what you are going to get out of
life, but what you are going to
give life; to close your book of
complaints against the manage
,ment of the universe, and look
around you for a place where you
can sow few seeds of happiness.
Are you willing to do these things
even for a day? Then ycu can
keep Christmas. .ss. ss

After six years together and
three years in the movies, the

them to a contract. His gamble
