Can You Spell
Eleemosynary?
WASHINGTON. D. C Sept.
Those who consider them-
selves expert spellers may be
interested in the result of a series
of old-fashioned spellina bees In
a popular summer resort of North
Carolina to determine the words
which are most difficult for the
person of average education to
spell.
By almost unanimous consent
-eleemosynary" was given the
stellar position 91 percent of the
contestants meeting disaster upon
one or another of the essentia
vowels. "Connoisseur" wrecked
the ambitions of all except those
who could be classified under that
term itself; "fuchsia" was third
in terms of difficulty being fol
lowed in order by tranquillity.
"fricassee" "consensus.' "super-.-sde."
"questionnaire" and "peri-
phery." "Separate." long in disgrace as
the most easily misspelled word
in the ordinary vocabulary caused
little trouble in this particular
circle; and despite the spread of
the neomystic cult "ouija" was
familiar to only 50 percent. The

"baccalaureate."

Worry; Live Long
SEATTLE Wash Sept. 22.
"Twelve hours' sleep a day Is
more important than burglars
to a man of IX" according to Good-
man Aleryider. who told the po-
lice here kbat he went back to
sleep immediately after a prowler
in his bedroom awakened him with
a flashlight. "If I let burglars
and such worry me I wouldn't be
as old as I am today" he con-
tinued. Mr. Alexander who appears to be
In excellent health also said that
"egg shells and hard bread pre-
served my teeth. I eat a soft
boiled egg and then the shell
every morning for breakfast."
He also suggested that boys start
smoking early because he said
tobacco soothes the nerves. "I've
smoked since I wss 16 and I smoke
today more than a pound of to-
bacco every month."

himself here yesterday as the only

stance In riotous living. Instead un-
der the glorious leadership of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Hiram Johnson
we have enacted some of the greatest
statutes in the history of our land.
But now on the front porch we
see Harding and Coolidge waiting to
welcome the prodgical son. The fat-
ted caff has been killed amid great
rejoicing. The other boy. who stayed
home is Samuel Shortridge. Republi-
can candidate for United States sen-
ator in California and we all say to
turn Just as it was said In the Bible
story: 'All that we have is thine; take
it and use It. "
