GETTYSBURG The first three days of this month marked the 70th anniversary of the Battle | of Gettysburg, in which Meade’s defeat of Lee sealed the fate of the Confederacy. It is estimated that the Union forces under Meade numbered about 85,000 men, while the Confederates under Lee numbered about 75,000. This momentous battle was one of the fiercest in all history, and cost both sides heavily. Estimates place the Union losses at 3,072 killed, 14,494 wounded, and 5,- 434 captured or missing, while the Con- federates lost 2,582 killed, 12,709 wounded and 5,150 captured or missing. In this famous charge of the war, that of Pickett’s Division of Confederates, composed of 5,- 000 men, which pierced the Union line only to be hurled back with fearful slaughter. It is estimated that fully two-thirds of Pickett’s men were either killed, wounded or captured in this charge. The failure of this attack on the Union position turned the tide of the battle, and really marked | Con- ; the beginning of the end, so far as federate chances of final victory were con- cerned. On July 4, 1865, Lee began his retreat from Pennsylvania, and thereafter the Union forces gradually tightened their grip on those of the South, until Grant forced Lee’s surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. The three score and ten years which have elapsed since Gettysburg have seen a reunited country increase in population | from about 35 million-to more than 123 million, thereby becoming one of the great- est world powers. Few persons, even in the South, now believe that it would have been best if the Confederacy had suc- ceeded, although the sincerity of | those favoring secession is no longer questioned, and the name of Lee is honored .in_ the North as well as in the South. A BIG SPELLING BEE So far as spelling is eoncerned, United States Constitution was rated be- low Webster's dictionary by judges in a spirited spelling bee in| which Chicago school ‘6fficials, teachers-andwpupils par- ticipated récently. ” ‘ In the Constitution the word “tran- quility” occurs, but the dictionary spells it with a double I— “tranquillity.” Various contestants spelled it both ways, and after some argument the dictionary way was held to be correct. Rose Marie Bartlett, 13-year-old coun- try school girl, was the final winner, de- feating County Superintendent Aiken by one word. That is, Rose Marie spelled “consensus” correctly, but Mr. Aiken thought it wrong, and had to concede his} error when confronted with the big book. A few of the words used in the test were: Phthisic, battalion, rarefy, irascible, liquefy, henious, putrefy, ecstasy, aligned, curriculum, despicable, transcend, ade- quate and publicizing. It would be a good thing if more such contests were held among both school chil- dren and adults, as Americans are notoriously poor spellers, including many college graduates, who often exhibit sur- prising originality in this line. SCRAMBLED RADIO The stenographer was about to be married and was greatly interested in cooking recipes, which she had been tak- ing down in shorthand from a radio lec- turer on home economics. One morning she got two stations on approximately the same frequency at the same time, one broadcasting the recipes she wanted and the other giving direc- tions for the daily exercise. Here is what she wrote in her é notebook : “Hands on hip, place flour on shoulder, Raise knees and press clothes and wash thoroughly in one- half cup of milk. lower leg and wash two hard-boiled eggs in a sieve.
