LITTLE LESSON IN ENGLISH A Citizen reporter wrote, “... with ihe city barking the heels of ihe county” io the idea of the closeness of the race them in the amounts of taxes coi- convey between ing chis fiscal year. Now, a Citizen proofreader or one of »perators evidently thought | that reporter, in writing hurriedly, had | leit the preposition “at’’.qut of the sentence, i so it was changed to read, and was so pub- “_... with the city barking at the , of che county.” That little word “at” not only changed | the meaning of “barking” but also changed | the verbal form of the sentence from trar- | sit without, however, | changing the idea of closeness the reporter lected dur the linotype lished heels e to intransitive wished io convey. \ The writer can not recall another in- in the realm of English literature | nythirg like that has occurred, nor | an he call to mind the possibility of its happening between any other two words ! of the same spelling but dissimilar meaning, i vhere the meaning can switch from one to | tance where ¢ ther without affecting the thought of sentence. Se AN of ave heard about barkirg hinbone, in using the word “barking” and most of us know of its use! mn svically to indicate closeness, as one | runner barked the heels of another, or, as Johnson remarked, and had it ecorded by Boswell, “One ger- | the heels of another as it steps \ nic .he grave.” So the reporter used “barking”, which | means to peel the skin off literally, and { closeness metaphorically, and somebody put “at” before “barking’’ and changed its ser:e to mean the noise made by a barking spite the vast difference of the dog. But | two v ords literally, when used metaphori- ; the city barking the heels, or the city | king at the heels—the difference in the | r iing is only slight. Barking at, in ad- dition to the idea of closeness, as a dog bark- ing at the heels of a fox, ineludes also the idea of making a noise, which was not ex- applicable in the case in point. There- | ing the heels, peeling off the skin ically, so close is the city on the is the preferred way of ex- xact shade of thought. sh, with its complexities and in- ;, is the hardest ianguage in the world to learn. It has thousands of words with the same spelling but with different meanings and tens of thqusands of syno- nyms with hairbreadth difference in the es of meaning, so much so, two educat- | ed persors frequently disagree over which of sundry adjectives is preferable in ex- sing the exact shade of thought.

This is not true. And it j could never be true because modern war requires gigantic production and govern- menjs are not producers. Att best, they can force the ezn to produce under compui- sion, after the citizen has failed to do so for one reason or another. America outproducing Europe’s slaves because free men are doing the job. If they are allowed to finish the war as such, slightest doubt as to the Victory will be ours. Our indus. tries are rolling at an unheard-of pace. But they could do even more if bureaucrats and is there is not the outcome. whe must keep mines and factories going full blast.
