Thousands be all expectations were distrl lted during the week. "When we set our tnoughts down written form," says Professor For st M. Lunt, M. A., instructor of ngllsh in Horace Mann School, sachers' College. Columbia Unlver ty, "we are without the aids of ilea and manner to make clear hat we are trying to say. Our oughts must be understood because e relations which exist between the irioun parts of our sentences are ear. If the relations between the irts of our sentences are not clear, e thoughts wo are trying to express ill not be understood." This is rofessor Lunt's introduction in the ew Universities Dictionary to his ■tlcle on "Practical Syntax," which #:¥:#lßiSig§!§igffiragKi3KiiM < : ;&ffiagffjgj|j|lljflftiigßßHH|B :, ' r, X> >3sß^ : '' : :?£:^?:ri': : :'*':.feS'lffffi • •>•.•.:; ••icffiaraS^ly&v:;:;::;*:;:;:;:*^ AMSRfCAN CHICLE COMPANY WMi ; " N ' * **'*'' :^^*' ' Saat^^^^s^t^ST WILLIAM COLLIER, a big light in the theatrical world, says: "Adams Pepsin Gum? Yes, I think it's delicious." i ADAMS ML PEPSIN THE BIG BUSINESS-MANS .GUM Cooling Peppermint Flavor MONDAY EVENING, shows readers of this new dictionary how to build correct sentences. "Good usage, common practice, so ciety—whatever you will—has decided what is good form, what is proper, in this field of syntax, just as it has in morals, etiquette or fashions," con tinues Professor Lunt; "therefore, the man or woman who has occasion to set his thoughts down in writing should observe the common prac tice, the universally understood rules which govern the relationship of words. If ho falls to do this, or if he attempts to make his own rules, he will be considered without the pale of cultured, educated people. From this it will be seen that the ability to construct sentences properly is hardly less important than the power to speak." Quaker's Duty in War Pointed Out Raleigh, N. C. The Quaker slacker, the liquor traffic, 'soft" drinks and tobacco were excoriated at the annual meeting of the Friends at Guilford College, N. C. "A Quaker who will take advantage of the ex emption an.d not do as much or more than the one who bears arms in the trenches, is a Quaker slacker," said Walter C. Woodard, of Richmond. Ind., secretary of the Five-Year Meeting of the Friends In America, and acting editor of the American Friend, the official church paper, in an address at the meeting. The address of this Quaker leader was stirring from start to finish, and throughout he kept before the meet ing his idea of the patriotic attitude the members of his church Khould take in the present crisis. He urged his hearers to rouse themselves to do their bit in helping their country Win for democracy.

Forty-six Cars Detroying Tires to Test Durability Shortening twilights find tho six tire testing fleets of the B. F. Good rich Rubber Company entering the home stretch. Out where the red crags of Yellowstone Park fling their granites to the pearly west ern skies the mountain squadron is penetrating, the twisting canyons to a concentration point; the Dixie fleet is crushing leisurely north to an swer assembly at Dayton, O,;. the Lake fleet has forsaken the turn pikes pf Minnesota and Northern Michigan and is now skipping jaunt ily through Central Michigan; the Prairie fleet is co-operating with the Lake flotilla in the Wolverine State before mooring m Detroit; the Atlantic fleet has strayed from its base at Philadelphia ana Is explor ing the panorama of New England, while the Pacific coast squadron has launched an offensive against the Western Alps in order to form a junction with the tourists at Yellow stone. It is estimated that by Oc tober 3 the forty-six cars engaged in the noval pastime of destroying tires will have reached the fold with new mileage records. With larger fleets operating this year than last the distance figures for 1916 should be easily surpassed. In 1916 test tire fleets traveled 4,688,412 miles or the equal of six hundred and thirty trips from New York to San Francisco and return, and used up ward of 390,000 gallons of gasoline. Since early March Goodrich crews have been maneuvering all over the country testing tires. Drivers were abjured to spare no pains in giving casings vigorous play and to adhere (Strictly to the course mapped out, tempting detours not withstanding. Tires were to be used until they had been reduced to shreds. Only then could they be replaced. In order to insure a thoroughly balanced test, cars of different makes, types and weights wero em ployed. This more accurately ap proaches the normal condition of the tourist. It was tho realization lliat experiments conducted within the environs of Akron did not re flect general road conditions that led to the expansion of tho tours and the visits to fields where Good rich treads wore almost as rare as the paths of tho aborigine. Each night, effects of roadbeds on tires are wired to tho Goodrich labora tories at Akron.

State Aid For British Farmers London, England-'-Slr Arthur Lee, director-general of food production, has published a statement with re gard to the policy of his department which states that the Cabinet, hav ing decided that a large Increase must be made in the acreage under corn and potatoes for the harvest ol 1918, it has been the duty of the food production department, acting through the agricultural executive committees, to apportion the task between the different parts ol' the country, and to see that the best use is made of existing resources in the way of labor, horses, machinery and other requisites. 1' armers throughout the country ar ® required to make the fullest pos sible use of the resources actually their disposal. In order, however, to help them in carrying out the re mainder of the task that is beyond their powers, the department is ob taining, and placing at the disposal of the county committees, a large number of tractors, horses and oiher requisites (with such additional labor as can be procured). The food de partment requires farmers and others to make every effort to equip tuem selves at their own expense, with whatever additional resources they may need, in the way of tractors, implements, horses and other requi *!'tes. In this way, alone, can the full national task be accomplished, for, however big the government ef fort may be, it can be no part of its object to relieve agriculturists of their proper responsibilities.
