Vocabularies Tn ten wordy volumes Carlyle adjures us, implores us, prays us to keep our mouths shut and maintain silence. "Love silence rather than speech in these tragic days," he exclaims! But in vain! Even squire Tammas himself with all his force cannot separate us from our talk. Man is a word using animal. The necessity to use words is built into his brain and he is as hopeless to live without them as without bread and air. It is not for us to be silent, but rather to speak aright. It is impossible to think without words. They are the vessels into which we pour the content of our consciousness. Without them it would flow away and be lost. A man without words is as helpless to use his mind as a carpenter without tools is helpless to build a house. Therefore a man who aspires to develop brain power must achieve a store of words with which to use his

2nd bewilderments of the time and say: "Thou ailest here, ox there," "Thou needest this, or that," and he will move the world. The nations wait the man with the word. "Men hunger for words more than for bread and have hungered from the foundation of the world."

power. Where we so often go astray in thinking about this matter of vocabularies is in taking for granted that a man has but one set of words. As a matter of fact practically every person has at least five. One vocabulary he uses for his own private thinking. Most of us would be astonished if by some magic that set of words would be put down in print before our eyes. We would find it quite a different lot than that which we use for other purposes. If a man is determined to master the art of thinking, (one sometimes feels it has become a lost art in some circles) he had best see to it that his thinking vocabulary is brushed up and in good f.hape. All the difference between a lazy, hazy, slovenly thinker and a bright, keen, capable thinker very often lies in this silent vocabulary. Another vocabulary is that with which we do our reading. Every reader is able to understand

far more words than he can use in any other

way. A new term will often be so defined by the sentence or paragraph in which it is set that a tranger to it can guess at its meaning. The commonest vocabulary is that with which ve do our talking. There are some 35,000 or "tore live words in the language now, but it is probable that the average person in conversations seldom makes use of more than 400 or 500. .A majority of these are mere hack terms made

to do slave service for a hundred purposes and consequently have their edges rubbed off and their true meaning lost. Trouble arises when these poor ox-cart words and phrases are made to do duty instead of the precise terms needed by certain subjects. Half our quarrels are due to slovenliness in speech. After we have wrestled and argued through an evening we wind up by discovering that our opponent meant just what we did, but was using words in another sense. The talking vocabulary itself divides into two parts when we consider it a little more; one we might describe as our "every day" and the other as our "Sunday" outfit of words. On the street or among our companions we usually sink to the level of language there in use and become guilty of slaughtering the King's English. Sentences, terms, expressions are used with wild recklessness and abandon. But when some exceptional occasion arises and we are called upon to address the house, we make haste to unlimber our "Sunday best" and show the folks how brilliant we are. But alas, in the majority of cases all those fine ideas we had hoped to express with true eloquence once the opportunity presented stick like barnacles to our mind and our tongue seems glued to the roof of our mouth. That is the penalty we pay for supposing a man can have a vocabulary for general purposes which is beggared and poor and suddenly find himself rich in language at special seasons. One of the secrets of good public speaking is

good everyday speaking. The nearer one's com

mon vocabulary can rise to the level of his "show

off" vocabulary the better speaker he will be at all times. (We offer this on the strength, hot of

personal experience, but of what orators have told us.) Building a vocabulary is a simple matter but

requires perseverance and watchfulness

is careful to read only the best books he will form a very useful set of words automatically. And if he makes it a constant habit to stand guard over his lips and forbids issuance therefrom of any phrase that won't stand the test, he will find himself in time speaking well without thought or worry. Words in themselves are almost nothing; a sound formed in the throat, a breath of air, yet,

owing to the structure of human life, when

A Gty Laboratory "The municipal laboratory has become a necessity in efficient city government to such an extent that no city of 10,000 or over can afford to do without it." These words, written by Charles M. Faesett who is Commissioner of Public Utilities of Spokane, Washington, reveal how important was the suggestion made by Mayor Bobbins in his message to council wherein he said he felt the city should have its own laboratory at the earliest possible date. Some may consider such an idea chimerical or extravagant; if they do they show they have not investigated the matter. One needs only to read the report of Spokarfe's laboratory for one month to see what it can do toward saving money and increasing efficiency. During four weeks, "their outfit, manned by three men and costing for salaries and maintenance about $5,000 a year, analyzed and made reports on the following and other materials and items : Cement, asphalt, rubber hose, oils, gasoline, gas, sewer pipe, tile, paving brick, milk, cream, meat, candy; foods, water, crematory ash, metals, sand, crushed rock, soap, fertilizer and coal. A glance over this list will show how that the city engineer, the public health officer and the purchasing agent or agents can save thousands of dollars each year in buying these supplies. More than that a laboratory saves the citizens who profit by its tests many thousands of dollars per annum. It has been estimated that the Spokane laboratory saves gas consumers alone $60,000 each year. Nearly everything bought or used by a city is susceptible to adulteration. This is especially true of asphalt and cement of which so much is purchased by the city engineering department. Who knows! In all probability Richmond buys every year thousands of dollars worth of such supplies which have been rejected by cities equipped with a laboratory. A city this size would not have need for any such plant as that of Spokane. One good chemist would suffice for our needs. And its installation would cost but a mere bagatelle about the price of the small auto runabout which the police department has been asking for. The largest expense would be for salary of the specialist in

charge.

And not only could this be used by the city

departments; physicians, teachers, and business men of many varieties would find it a constant boon. Its possibilities, in fact, are well nigh unlimited.

Marion's Good Will That excellent affair at the Westcott the other night when the Richmond Commercial Club entertained a delegation of business men from Marion bore good fruit as will be seen by the appended editorial from the Marion Chronicle. The old day of foolish rivalry between cities has about petered out. Sister towns have far more in common than not. Their interest lies in co-operation. In that everything is to gain and

nothing to lose, but in bickering and fussing among themselves everything is to lose and nothing to gain. The banquet alluded to i3 a happy harbinger of the new day. Each community has problems peculiar to itself which it is compelled to solve. This means a growing fund of original experience and knowledge in every city. Why can't that be capitalized by other places and made to serve in the interests of all cities ? There is no reason why it cannot. Neither is there any reason why the recent banquet and good fellowship occasion should be the last of its kind. NEW COMMERCIAL CLUB. The Marion boosters who went to Richmond Tuesday have returned full of enthusiasm. The generous hospitality extended them by the Commercial club of the Quaker city quite won their hearts. But it was the exhibit of the work done by the club that woke up the boys from the Electric city. Man after man, heads of the various departments of work in the Richmond club, set out the success they had had in their respective departments. And the Marion boosters took it all in. Already the initial steps have been taken to put a commercial club into operation in Marion, similar to the one that has been so very useful in Richmond. That the local effort will prove successful there can be no doubt. Marion has as enterprising, public-spirited and capable a complement of business men as any other city. The organization of the new club has been undertaken in the right spirit and after the right method. Now, altogether for a bigger, brighter, busier Marion.
