the four pages of instructions

Leopard frogs make charming

purr and they appear so alert when
they are residing in their own spe-

Los Angeles-Do you think it
within the realm of possibility to
convince newscaSters that adapt"
and adopt" are entirely different
words and cannot be used inter-
changeably?-J. L. D.
Answer: I doubt it. but If you'll
clip this column and send it to
the offender it may help some.
Adapt means "to make suitable; J;
to adjust" Pronounce it: Uh-

"apt~.
Adopt means "to take or assume
as ones own," as, to adopt a name
or idea; to vote to accept, as, the
House adopted the report.

such constructions the compound Is
usually hyphenated. We speak Of
a 6-foot ladder (not IS feet"), q
