Take MyWord forI ItI
By Fronk Colby

do you think it is liable to
rain?"
It is a common error to use
liable in the meaning of "likely. !"
Liable does not express likeli-
hood or probability except in an
undesirable or unpleasant sense.
A good way to remember the
difference between liable and
likely is to link the words thus:
liable-liability. likely likelihood.
Wrong: HE is liable to come
today"
Right: 1t is likely that he viii
come today.
Wrong: Don't wait, for I
am liable to be late"
Right: Don't wait, for I shall
likely (probably) be late.
Wrong: 1--WE think he is liable
to win the contest"
Right: We think he is likely
to win the contest.
Now remember that liable and
liability go together: He is Ii
able for his debts. You are Ii
able to Imprisonment if you
break the law. If you indorse
another's note. you are liable for
the full amount.
Las Vegas: Please give us a
simple rule for the correct use
of 1--WE" or "us" when used in
this type of sentence: ut gives
Gus. WEI musicians a great deal
of pleasure to accompany an
excellent performer" ."-R. C.
A. The simplest solution is
this: Disregard the word fol-
lowing the pronoun in question,
and the correct one will be ap-
parent. Thus: ut gives Gus, WEI
a great deal of pleasure :"
Obviously one would not say "It
gives we pleasure; the correct
pronoun, then, is Gus"
Waterbury: Will you please
settle an Office dispute regard
ing the proper form Of writing
"enroute-en route"?-L. C.
A. The phrase is French, in
which language zen" means "in."
It should not be written as one
word. Correct: en- route.

Pigmies of the central equatorial

at is absolutely true that we have
poisonous snakes and wild animals in
Africa, but the degree to which they
are dangerous has been far too much
exaggerated. We are quite safe from

parts of Africa as any one else in this
country will avoid an automobile ac-

while driving. These animals do not
share a common abode with us, they
live in grasslands and forests; and
anyone who lives close enough to
them or aim at them without being
properly equipped for combat has
himself to blame.

Jungles comprise only small per-
centage of the vast acreage of Africa,
contrary to common American mis-
conception, it was revealed this week
by 2. A. Owolabi, native of Nigeria
now in his second year at Bluffton
college.
Actually only about IL per cent of
the entire continent of Africa is in
equatorial forests known as jungles,
in contrast to the United States,
which is about 26 per cent forested,
the African student pointed out.
His comments, in an article appear
ing this week in THE WITMARSUM,
campus newspaper. were as follows:
"Only about eleven per cent of the
entire continent of Africa is in equa-
torial forest known as jungles, the
largest area of which lies in the Congo
basin and extends westwards into

Lost Message
Key To Newland
Disappearance"
Bluffton College Grad
Not Amnesia Victim
AS At First Believed

A lost message advising his family
of his whereabouts created a major
mystery and furore for several days
last week revolving around Kenneth
E. Newland, graduate of Bluffton
College, who married the former Vir-
ginia Tripplehorn of this place.
Because Newland's wife failed to
receive a message he sent when he
landed in New York City upon his re-
turn from a state department mission
in the Far East, fears were expressed
that he might be the victim of am
nesia.
Involved in the resulting chain of
circumstances were the Bluffton par
ents of Mrs. Newland, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan R. Tripplehorn, of South Main
street, who left Thursday for Colum-
bia, Mo-, to be with their daughter
and her children while the search for
Newland was under way.
That the enIre Iurore was due to
the lost or delayed message was re-
vealed Sunday when Newland was To-
Gated in private hospital at Katon-
ah, N. Y, near New York City, where
he had gone after debarking from the
liner Queen Mary, Feb. S.
A doctor at that place was report
ed as saying that Newland is in per-
fectly good shape, perfectly compe-
tent and much concerned over the fu
rore.
The investigation regarding New
lands whereabouts started last mid
week when Mrs. Newland received a
letter from a New York friend apollo
gizing for not being able to meet her
husband when he landed in New York
City.
Newland is said to have been re-
turning from London for treatment,
after suffering head injury in fall
while on plane enroute to New Del
hi, India.
The Bluffton College graduate has
been on leave since last November
from Stephens college, Columbia, Mo-,
where he is professor. He has been
on assignment as a coordinator in the
Asiatic division of the Point Four
program when he suffered the injury.
A physician at the Katonah hospi-
tai denied Newland was being treated
for the head injury and said that he
would leave the hospital in few
days.
Newland said that on his return to
New York, he had notified his family
in Missouri that he hoped to return
there after medical treatment in New
York. His family said they never
heard from him.
A graduate of Lima South High
school, Newland graduated from
Bluffton college in 1888. He was
named the most popular man of his
graduating class here.

BlufftOn Trucker
Severely Burned
In Kentucky Crash
Ralph Stager's Condition,
However, Reported Good
At Covington Hospital

Suffering second degree burns on
his face, head, arms and the entire
lower part of his body, Ralph Stager,
Bluffton truck driver, was in st.
Elizabeth hospital, Covington, KY. to-
day following an accident on the
Dixie highway one mile south of
Walton, KY.
Alvin Stager, who employed the
young man in his trucking business,
returned from the Covington hospital
Wednesday morning with the report
that the patient is getting along nice
ly and may be transferred to Mem
orial hospital, Lima, by the end of
this week.
The spectacular two-vehicle crash,
explosion and fire also injured two
other persons in 16-year old coupe
involved in the mishap. The crash
occurred about 1915 a. m. Monday.
Stager was travelling south bound
for Lexington, KY, with an 11-ton
load of hay when the accident hap
pened. His tractor-trailer upset
across the highway, exploding at once.
Hay on the trailer caught fire i'm
mediately, but Stager was able to get
out of his cab.
Fifteen Walton volunteers battled
the burning and smoldering hay for
three hours with water carried to the
scene by auxiliary fire equipment.
The Stager truck and trailer were
complete losses but about half of the
hay was saved, it was reported.
AT ST. Elizabeth hospital several
blood transfusions were needed by
Ralph, and early reports in Bluffton
was that his condition was critical.
However, Alvin Stager said Wednes-
day morning that Ralph was recover
ing satisfactorily and could be trans
ferred to the Lima hospital, closer to
home, within two or three days.
Harvey Moser, Jr., who was driving
truck and trailer with a second load
of hay,was following closely behind
Stager and witnessed the crash. He
remained with the Bluffton man until
Wednesday morning when he also re-
turned home.
AL Stager was on businss trip to
Circleville when he learned of the
accident and Immediately departed
for the Covington hospital.
