A WORD

BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

In discussing various speech
patterns. I frequently refer to
STANDARD American speech.
Many readers have asked for an
explanation of the term, and
shall explain 1t as fully as
space will permit.
There are three general types
of cultured speech in America
/. New England speech. spoken
in an area representing about
61a per cent Of the population.
2. Southern speech, spoken in
an area representing about q
per cent.
8. Standard American spoken
in an area representing about
66la per cent of the population,
and by most Canadians Of Eng
ish descent.
There also are numerous mi
nority dialects, as well as local
variations from the three gen.
eral types.

that team is leading or the score

stalling and won't be popular
with most coaches.
In another change, It was de-
cided that If the momentum OF
a player intercepting a pass car
ried him into his own end zone,
the ball would be ruled dead at
the point Of interception.
The most important change
contemplated didn't quite make
the grade. This was q move to
have the bali called dead as soon
as any part of a bah carriers
