In a tract recently issued under the suspices of the Soclety for Pure Eng- lish, Dr. Robert Bridges deplores the practical disappearance of the letter R from the speech of southern English- | men, according to the Manchester Guardian. Yet, some people would be disposed to regard the extinction of this letter with composure or even ap- :] proval. John Aubrey, for instance, ap- .| pears to ' have nursed a prejudice against those who sound it too promi- nently in their speech. In his “Lives” Aubrey animadverts on the fact that | “Milton pronounced the letter R (lit- tera canina) very hard—a certain sign of a satyricall witt.” y In Germany the “canine letter” has found many enemies, who maintain that its abounding .employment largely accounts for the ruggedness of Teu- tonle speech. Some writers have gone %0 far as to produce works from which it 1s entirely banished—a remarkably difficult fedt, seeing that it figures in about 50 per cent of German words: Two minor luminaries of the eight- eenth century, Brockes and Gottlieb Burmann, wrote a number of poems from which the letter is deliberately excluded, so as to produce an atmos- phere of “sweetness and light.” These facts were eclipsed by a nine- teenth century author, Granz Rittler, who held. the letter in aversion, though it appears twice in his own surname. He published two novels, “Die Zwil- linge” and ‘“Lisette und Wilhelm,” in which no R can be found. Paul von Schonthau and Leo Kobe are responsible for simllar we J.

A major of marines had his bat- talion out in the brush in Cuba for a problem in observation. He detalled a private to go to a small hill about a quarter of a mile away and conceal The battalion would then try to locate the private with field glasses as a tralning for finding ene- my scouts and spipers during actual battle conditions. The private trotted off and, at a sig- nal from the major, flopped to jhe ground. The major turned arour. explain the problem to the battalion, but, upon turning again, was much in- censed to see the private standing again in full view of all.

Fighting Hunger Hunger is never more than a few days away from the American people. The coal strike showed us what a narrow margin the country goes on, evenin anon- perishable necessity which can be stored. Swift & Company is engaged in the business of fighting hunger. From coast to coast, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, the lines of defense are drawn—packing plants at strategic points; branch houses in four hundred towns and cities; hundreds of car routes; thousands of refrigerator cars; tens of thousands of loyal men and women expert in their work. Day by day, hour by hour ceaselessly, this fight, your fight, goes on. Yet so smoothly, surely and victoriously thatyou, unaware how close hunger always is, are as certain each night of tomorrow’s meat as you are of tomorrow’s sun. And so economically is this done that the cost to you for this service is less than three cents a pound of meat sold. The profit shared in by more than 30,000 shareholders whose money mak-s the victory possible is only a fraction of & cent a pound on all products. If hunger did not make it necessary for us to fight this fight in the best possible way for all concerned, the competition of hundreds of other packers, large and small, would compel us.
