J 7— ' YES or NO? A Teat of Your Intelligent \ , j The correct answer to one of these i problems is YES, to the other NO. STOP TO THINK! Questions Answered Tomorrow 1. Did the Greeks create culture? 2. is Boston, Mass., called “the Athens of America" because it is i likened to ancient Athens, in Greece, as the cultural center of the country? Yesterday's Questions Answered 1. Does the fact that it travels on rails play any part in the naming of the locomotive? Answer — NO. Locomotion (movement in a given direction) by any means is properly expressed as by a locomotive. 2. Does the mind (intelligence) control the nervous system to any de gree? Answer —YES. The mind nnd the central motive “stations" of the ner vous system are centered in the brain. The nerves and muscles respond to the direction of the mind. —o Warsaw —The fire department motor truck speeded over a mile of Warsaw street to locate a blaze at the rear of the fire station. ! CONFUSING TERMS IN EVERYDAY ENGLISH TO, TWO. TOO “To” is the sign of the infinitive and is always the preposition. Never split the infinitive by allowng an adverb to come between the preposition and the verb form, as for example, “too gladly receive the offering." use instead, “gladly to receive the offering." "To” is superfluous in “Where are .you gojng to?” and should never be | used at the end of the sentence as, . "Whom do you refer to?” better say, . “To whom do you refer?" Two is not easily confused for it is always the number 2. Too is the adverb and is used in the sense of "very". It is preferable to use "too" in connection with “much." as "He was too exhausted to speak.” Better, “He was too much exhausted to speak.” 1 ROUTE NO. 5 CORRESPONDENCE ‘ Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Carpenter and family, of Decatur, route 5, entertained the following guests at dinner last Sunday: Mr. and Mrs. P.

The girl said she had left the office at 5 p. m. the usual time last night. "Lanus wanted me to stay late to allow him to call on a woman customer, but I refused,” she said. “When I left Lanus was in the office with another man who I had never seen before. ” The body was found two hours later by John Anderson, who conducts a nearby garage. “I heard tw-o shots and went immediately to Lanus’ office. I saw no one but heard groans. Investigating, I found Lanus lying on the running board of the automoble. No one else was in the garage when I entered." - — ... e—— .
