Probably no mark of punctu-
alton causes so much confusion
as does the quotation mark.
This note from S.D.W., a De-
|troit secretary. is typical: IT, and
a million other stenographers,
would be grateful for a discus
sion on the correct use of quota
ton marks. especially when used
with a question mark. Can do?"
Here's a simple rule which
most publications follow:
Any punctuation mark that
belongs with the quoted matter
should be placed inside the quo
Itation marks.
Correct: He asked, May
come in?" Correct: Was it Pat
Itricl. Henry who said, Give me
liberty. or give me death!"? Note
that the exclamation point is
part of the quotation; the ques-
ton mark is not.
A quotation within a quotation
should be inclosed by single
marks. thus: l repeated the line
from the Raven: "Quoth the
Raven. 'Nevermore!'"
Colons and semicolons should
always follow the quotation
mark. Correct: This is my an
Iswer to his statement, "Ameri-
can youth is decadent": rubbish
Correct: Divided we fall; this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-07
A WORD TO THE WISE

truth illustrates itself day by day.
Commas and periods should
always precede the quotation
mark. Correct: When Shakes
peare spoke of "a parlous boy"
what did he mean by "parlous"
Here is an actual case in which
the improper placement of the
question mark has a ludicrous
result:
My epitaph must be short
and to the point.
What of this: "Rest in
peace?"
Obviously no man would want
his epitaph to imply that his
resting in peace is in any way a
matter of doubt. If the question
mark follows the quotation mark,
all is well:
My epitaph must be short
and to the point.
What of this: REST in
peace?

From The Stars Convention Bureau
CHICAGO, Aug. Hilary
Humans Endorsement Of Averell
Hartman for the Democratic
presidential nomination natural
ly brought mixed reaction today
A consensus, nevertheless,
seems to be that most party
leaders still expect Adlai Steven
son to head the ticket again this
year.
Elation in the camp of New
York's Gov. Hartman could not
offset the practical fact that
Mr.. Stevenson has commitments
from almost enough convention
delegates to nominate him on
the first ballot next Thursday.
The View in Dixie
Nor could the elation-or Mr..
Truman's announcement-shake
adamant Dixie Democrats. In
fact, the plunge taken by for
mer President Truman tended
to stiffen the resolve of some
Southern Democrats to keep
Gov. Hartman out of the No.
spot.
John Summons Bell, chairman
of the Georgia delegation. said
that while former President Tru-
man has a great deal of influence
in the party, he has no vote at
the convention.
Gov. Griffin of Georgia said
Mr.. Humans Endorsement would
have no decided effect upon what
the States delegation would do,
Southerners, generally, regard
Gov. Harriman's views as too
extreme, notably with respect to
civil rights. Some are olsen
