Gcverpment Secretary the hearty
cod wishes that come especially
from their own fellow Virgin Is

IT has been my thought that
Iavord this conspicuous fact-that

10 native sons-beyond this con-
spicuous fact, we think also of the
days that be ahead.
I firmly condemn and renounce
the political philosophy of all
those who would predict failure
who anticipate conflict, and who
seek deliberately to instill dis
trust and dissatisfaction.
Such negative and unworthy
attitudes reflect only short-sight-
ed philosophy that fails to appre-
ciate the stake we all have in the
success or failure of any COVER
nor. and the even greater signif-
canoe that there is for all in the
performance Of a native!
That our Governors are still ap-
pointed is a fact that none Of u

1t looks as though we'll have

"gobbledygook." meaning pre-

New York, N. Y. Especially The asthma

other by doctors for their private

Medical tests proved this formula
stops asthma attacks in minutes and
gives hours of freedom from recur-

This formula is so effective that it

studies Of our language in my
library carry any mention of
"gobbledygook" before 1914.
But that doesn't necessarily
prove that Mr.. Denslinger is
mistaken. It's entirely possible
that this word existed for dec

the country as an item Of OBJ
scure and unrecorded dialect. If
others of my readers knew this
word and can testify to its ex-
istence before 1914. take pen in
