Graud 'Central, e THE SPELLING BEE Many a speller of mature years— ‘perhaps writer, thinker, business man, stenographer—has stumbled into error when trying to put “bat- tallon” on paper. “That is a word, mates, fit to tumble & king. Look it up in the dictionary, close the big book, walk three times around the desk, and then—Ilook it up in the book once again! Has it one and two “I's" or two "E.‘ and two *1's”, or has it what it happens to Rave, two “t's” and one One easily is inclined to take up the cudgels for simplified spelling “when contemplating such a word, and we are quite sure all spelling bee fans think the same way about it. For instance, such a word as “battalion” can be simplified—so far as its spelling is concerned—in a manner to make its spelling easy ever afterward. Let its pronunci- ation go hang for a moment and re- gard it as “batta-lion.” This sug- gests batting a lion on the head. There are thousands of difficult words which can be treated in much the same W It is easy to work up quite a system with the English language in this respect. Something of the sort is being done with sub- normal pupils, it is understood, who - are given the hencfits of “fonetic” | spelling also. Of course, nobody ad- | mits he is subnormal until he be- gins to wrestle with the dictionary, and then only in private, keeping his friends and acquaintances in blissful ignorance of the true state of affairs. An article by a leading educator published a week or so ago was to the effect that the effort required of youth in English-speaking countries to master the intricacies of spelling is the equivalent of two years of application; in other words, that it requires two years to learn to spell 1f nothing else were being studied at the same time. As much beside spelling is studied during that perlod the gruelling period of mastering this subject is spread over longer years. This educator, therefore, favored a simplication of the spell- ing system, but admitted it was like trylng to move a mountain to change it, so flemly imbedded is our archale system in the language. Naturally, it Is casy to agree with the educator and at the same time favor doing nothing abhout it. That is the attitude all of us take; dic- tionaries are cheap and everyhody owns one or several. Girls have won the chief honors each year. But this is *“as usual.” The girls apply themseclves to the job with greater avidity and arc less inclined to permit distractions to hold sway. They also reach ma- turity at an earlier age and this tells | in their mentality. The spelling bee stimulates profi- | tlency in one of the fundamental angles of education and the result unquestionably is reflected through- out tha exrtire public school system. The fact that the chict speller of the | #chools stood alone & tricky only after such word as “battallon" reached high of proficiency. Probably half the doughboys who went in battalions to France didn't know how to spell this word, was, indicates a state THE WASHBOARD BOULEVARD News from Berlin is that opti- mism reigns supreme quality can be New Dritain his desirable also—all to u boulevard.” May 51 struction of the —which i3 the washboard ns of those the * who h- to have occasion board IFor bids are be opened for the recon- Beech Swamp road formal title of the which for s masqueraded the highway between this neighboring comumunity Thus the highway by the tn vain.

THE BLACK ROCK SPILL It there had been a staunch con- crete wall around the approaches to span at Black accident as that would | present dilapidated Rock such an which occurred yesterday have been next to impossible. But because the railings along the side of the approaches are not strong enough to withstand even the most moderate of shocks, anything is likely to happen at the bridge. It is easy to say that drivers, when at- tempting to negotiate the sharp turn from West Main street into Burritt street, should “be careful.” Things go wrong with automobiles at times, especially on sharp curves and that happened yesterday. Mak- ing the curve, even under the most propitious of clrcumstances, is quite breath-taking when one realizes that a stcep incline is to one side, on® protected by nothing more for- imidabla than loose and weak planks. The Black Rock bridge, as it is at present constituted, is not only one of the worst eyesores in the city, it is likewlise a danger spot. The city is making another effort to have the rallroad co-operate with the city in providing & decent structure. The work by no means should be longer delayed. Mayor Weld can do nothing more inclined to shed honor and glory upon his administration than to insist that the present assortment of planks is done away with and a new concrete structure erected in its place. RAISING PRICE OF OIL Autolsts who have been congratu- lating themsclves upon enjoying a rcasonable price for gasoline no doubt are looking with extreme dis- favor upon the agreements being entered into by various oil produc- ing companies to limit the produc- tion of crude and thus raise prices. Twenty concerns operating in the great Seminole oil fields of Oklaho- ma have agreed to limit production, and as the Seminole fleld is re- | sponsible for the oversupply of crude, the effect upon prices at the filling stations will be soon and de- finite. It is clear in that assurances were Washington that there |would be no prosecution under the anti-trust law.

Southern papers have been full of the financial difficuliies in which the Adair Realty & Trust company of Atlanta has found itsel?, necessi- tating a radical reorganization of this $40,000,000 corporation. The concern is one of the largest of the kind in the south, if not the largest, and its difficulties are said to have been due to a preponderance of loans and a slowed up market.

AIRING THE CHAPLIN CASE Although Mrs. Charles Chaplin has been considerably criticized for what is termed her desire to obtain some of the money of the film comedian, there is something to be sald in her favor when she expresses the desire to have all the cards laid on the table in the Chaplin tangle. She has had all the publicity she wants, she has sald in effect; now let the comedian get some of it. Ac- cording to the wife, he has been able to prevent much undesirable publicity from seeing the light of day by taking advantage of legal technicalities. y Her idea 15 to have & public hear- ing, at which charges relating to his alleged love affairs with *“at least seven other women” could recelve an adequate airing.
