Government will employ less
people and buy fewer goods. "
Leaving aside the philosophy
reflected in this statement-with
which most taxpayers would
probably agree-what do you
think Of the Secretary's gram
mar?
Answer: Well. it could stand
some slight improvement. Mr..
Humphrey-or his speech writer
apparently is not aware of the
distinction that should be made
between fewer" and less"
When you refer to things that
can be counted-like people"
in the Secretary's statement
the correct word to use is
fewer" When you refer to
quantity or things measured,
use less" If we consider the
word goods" as a collective
noun. meaning the sum total OF
all the merchandise to be bought
by the Government, the Secre-
tary's sentence is greatly iml
proved by the transpoSition OF
the two adjectiveS, thus: THE
Government will employ fewer
people and buy less goods"

the claims proudly made on the

thought only humans could be
"allergic" to something. How car
an inanimate object like a pillow
be allergic?-Mrs. T. M. w.
Answer: 1t can't. The word
the makers Of these pillows
should have used is "nonaller-
genic"-an adjective meaning
mot acting as an allergy" or
mot inducing an allergy.'
An allergy is sensitivity to a
substance such as pollen OF
dust which. in similar quanti-
ties. is harmless to other people,
Presumably animals other thar
man suffer from allergic re-
actions to certain substances, but
obviously a pillow cannot suf-
fer, so 1t cannot be either al
lergic or nonallergic. It can
however, contain material such
as feathers and thus might well
be "allergenic."

There have been reports that
Coach Hugh Devore will not
be back at the Eagles helm
next season. and demands have
been published that he resign.
But Hogan pointed out that
Devore's contract has another
year and nothing has been
said, officially. about 1858. If
Hugh wins the last two games
he probably will be back. SO
