Buriat, j fliers expect to take off today . from island, weather permitting.” was the message intercepted by 1 the naval radio at St. Paul’s island, in the Alaskan region, and relayed here. The St. Paul station, however. I was unable to determine from the 1 message which way Moyle and Al-) len would fly. At firt is stated , the fliers probaldy would pass over the island. A few minutes later it added: “Buriat vague as to destination, one time saying Seattle and later ni communication with another ship saying Tokio. There are heavy winds and seas near Navarin.” The fact that the American air- i men are much nearer Tokio than I ' Seattle indicated they probably i I would retrace the airline they; , fololwed here from Sabishlro , Beach.

Passive resistance of “naval j ratings” (enlisted men) against I wage reductions caused suspension | of fleet maneuvers and won an imi mediate investigation of their - grievances by the admiralty. While it was believed that grievances of the sailors would be settlj ed quickly, the possibility existed I that v passive resistance" might spread to other branches of the i i defense and civil services.

WEBSTER IRKED BY SPELLING OF ENGLISH WORDS Book Reveals Famed Lexicographer As Simplified Advocate CHICAGO —(U.R)— How illogical and unequivocal spelling of many 1 English words irked Noah Webster. the lexicographer, is revealed in a book edited by M. M. Mathews, entitled "The Beginnings of American English.” published by the University of Chicago Press. Webster was an advocate of simplified spelling as indicated by his first dictionary in 1806 which recommended such spellings «s wether, ilsand. lie, mold, ake. cram, fether. lether and other simplified forms Not many of his suggestions were retained perhaps because, as he bitterly pointed out. “we must nlot deviate from the practice of our grandfathers even; when they erred.” Two Century Discussion Members of both the “either” and the “eyether” schools of thought may find interest in Mathews’ theory of the origin of the two- century -old discussion. “American English vs. The King’s English.” Mathews indicates the controI versy may have started in 1735 when Francis Moore, an English traveler, decried the “barbarous English" of the provincial Georgians who referred, he said, to the ■ bank of a stream as a “bluff.” Mathews’ book concerns itself chiefly with the development of a new language in a young and primitive country. Slight Difference Study of Mathews’ world lists serves to substantiate his belief that “the really surprising thing about the English of England and that of the United States is not that they differ slightly, hut that their difference is as slight as it Fs.” A few of these have survived. Helliferocious — very ferocious: I Pestiferous — pesky; Sniptious—smart, spruce; Sockdologer—a decisive b9ow; Quiddities—trifling niceties, odd behavior; Lickspittle —a bootlicker: Slang whanger - a noisy talker, or newspaper writer; Rumbunctlous — hot-tem-pered; Sizzled—drunk. —o j FOSTER FACES CHECK CHARGES | (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) grand jury, which is now understood to be delving into affairs of the defunct Lagrange County Trust Company. Foster instigated the investigation of the bank, with accusations of “sensational irregularities" in liquidation of its assets, and charged that activities against him were incited by those who wished to dis-i credit his bank probe. A special prosecutor has been ' appointed to assist in the jury’s investigation of the bank case, and similar action was viewed as certain when Foster himself becomes the subject of the jury's inquiry. DEATH INQUEST IS POSTPONED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ?NEi Penguin and attempted to attack her. The district attorney said Mrs. Collings would not be asked to testify—another change in his earlier attitude. Asked to explain that, he countered: “Do you think I should grant her immunity?" he did not . explain that remark. Dr. Otto H. Schultz, conducting the autopsy on Collings’ body took the lungs to New York for a fuller i examination to discover whether . Collings was dead before thrown . tied into the sound, or drowned. — - o Epidemic Is Reported i - —— Cloverdale, Sept. 17. — (U.R) —Ty- > phoid fever, which has stricken 19 I persons here, had claimed two lives . today.
