An elongated seat or couch. The common mispronunciation “chase LOUNGE” is the result of eonfusing the French “longue” with the English “lounge.’ Note the dif- ference in spelling. The two words have nothing whatever in common. | Longue is not, as many believe, a peculiar French way of spelling *lounge.” Literally translated, chaise longue means ‘“chair long.” The ‘“ch” is soft as in shade. Chaise rhymes with daze, haze. | L ongue is like the English wordi “long” with the “n” nasalized. Correct pronunciation: LONG. (Capitals indicate syllables to be accented.) Question: Please referee an ar- gument. Is there such a word as “notarize?” B.D. Answer—Yes, but no dictionary has acknowledged or accepted it. [Notarize is a malformed verb coined by false analogy with harmonize, economize, apologize. Its invention was mothered by ecessity since we have no general | erm in English for the work that | a notary does in attesting, acknowl- edging and certifying. Do not use “notarize” in serious Shayz gpeech or writing.

First aid may save your own life. ere are many cases in which quick action will stop a trouble be- [fore it gets well started. Take a little cut for example. No jmatter how small it is, something hould be done about it. People fhave died from infection after let- ing a small cut or scratch go with- out treatment. The skin has been called “the [Maginot line of the human body.” Ht guards us against all manner of germs. That is a good reasan o try to keep from being cut or scratched. Hard as we may try, the skin is almost certain to be cut, or at least “nicked,” from time to time. By quick action we usually can keep small trouble from growing into big one. Germs are likely to enter the body t the place scratched or cut. If e wound bleeds the blood may away some, if not all, of the germs, but we cannot trust it en- ely.

They organized into 100 teams, each team having a wheel- barrow, and on their rounds they shouted, “Bring out your old iron.” Boy Scouts had warned residents that the collectors were coming. The French government was pre- pared to pay for the iron, but the students wanted to help by getting it for nothing. vt my little hts in verse I often have an awful time, o, Rerder, pleuse A handy bandage for smalk cuits. corpuscles which fight germs, but these “policemen” may die in the fight and let some germs get past. Certain kinds of germs lead to blood poison or lockjaw. These troubles may sometimes end in death, or in loss of an arm or leg. First-aid experts suggest this treatment of a small cut: 1. Cleanse the wound. This can be done with a piece of clean cloth or cotton which has been dipped in alcohol. 2. Apply alcohol, fodine or some other good antiseptic to the wound. If you use ioding put on a small amount. Too much iodine may burn the flesh. 3. Cover the wound with a piece of sterile cloth—that is, cloth which is free of germs. Drug stores -have rolls of gauze which are good for the purpose. They also sell small, handy bandages, ready for quick use. Never put a piece of court plaster or adhesive tape on the wound itself. “Sticky tape” is made to hold the clean ¢loth on the wound. . If a wound shows any sign of infection see a doctor as soon as possible. The tip of & person’s little finger is worth more than the cost of many visits to a doctor. If this is 80, how much more is a person’s hand, arm, leg or life worth! (For General Interest or Health section of your scrapbook.)
