Trylon Perisphere Many readers have asked for the origin and pronunciation of trylon nd perisphere, theme buildings of the New York World’s Fair, 1940. [For the following information I am indebted to the fair’s director of [publicity. Trylon: This word was coined by lcombining the Greek tri—(three® [and pylon (monumental gateway). 'The trylon, 700 feet high, is the slender, three-sided obelisk which erves as the fair’s beacon. Perisphere: This is a combination of the Greek peri—(all around) and sphere (ball). To the Greeks, the sphere signified perfect form and jharmony. The perisphere, huge 'white globe, 200 feet high, seems to rest on a cluster of fountains. It fhouses the theme exhibit of the fair. The first syllable of trylon is ex- ctly like the word try; the second :yllab]e has the “ah” sound of con, on. Perisphere is accented on the first syllable which rhymes with pair, hair. The third syllable is exactly like the word fear. Correct pronunciations: -TRY-lshn PAIR-is-fear lCflg‘t’ah indicate syllables to be -) For a personal answer to your questions about words, send a stamped (3-cent), self-addressed envelope to Frank Colby, care The Evening Star. Points for Parents By EDYTH THOMAS WALLACE. The best way to make the other Jamily members appreciate some of mother’s responsibilities is to give | Jather and children a turn at taking them. Mother—(in family council) propose you draw lots and then for one week each, take your turn being the person who calls the family to the dinner table. Son—Why do you look so cross, mother? Mother—You'd be cross too, if you had the job of getting this family to the table while the food is still hot. UNCLE RAY’S COR From time to time this question has been asked of me: “Who do you think will win the war in Europe?” My first answer is, “No matter who wins a military victory, both sides will lose.” A war cannot be fought without making the world poorer. In war- fare great numbers of men spend their time trying to destroy. They shoot at the enemy, and the enemy shoots at them. There are times when a nation may be forced to fight against its will. The people do not want to lose: their freedom. They think war is a terrible thing but would rather suffer it than to lose their rights as free men. However that may be, we all know that war blows away money and wealth. A large war may cost eral million dollars each hour it is being fought.
