No Reason in This Day
for Stinted Vocabulary
By FRANCES
It Is related In the West tfiat a ranch
man once returned to hla home from a
day In town, and aeelng no signs of life
around the place, hurriedly dismounted
and rushed to the house. Opening the
kitchen door, he was horrified by the
Bight of his wife and cllldren lying duad
on the floor. They had been scalped by
the Indians.
Ptuplfled by the sight, he was at first
struck dumb; then, recovering his voice,
he said in tones of dull amaze, "How
ridiculous:"
The story may be true, or tt may not
be true, but, true or not, it Is not In
credible, for the tragedy Is one that has
been told many times In the . west, and
the inadequacy of the man's vocabulary
to meet the situation la not confined to
ranchmen. It Is universal, on the plains,
where books play a minor part In the
struggle for existence, and In the city,
where dictionaries, encyclopedias, refer
ence books and books of synonyms nudge
a man at every turn of the elbow.
The discovery of the bodies of a mother
and children under such harrowing cir
cumstances was anything but ridiculous
to the husband and father. lie used the
wrong word, but can you say you never
o?
The knowledge of words, their uses and
Abuses, is as free as the air and the
water, but not one man In a thousand
lias a vcabulary that Isn't limited to the
narrowest confines; he knows two or
L. GARSIDU.
three ways to express admiration, twice
as many to express hatred, and can't, to
tave his life, command a word that ex
presses a shade or degree of difference.
When he attempts a word with which
he has never gained a speaking acquaint
ance, he flounders and falters and gar
bles it In sound and meaning, and saya
what he didn't Intend to say, and doesn't
know he said It.
There Is no aristocracy In words, but
he doesnt know It, and looks on those
he has never used as something above
and beyond him and an affectation to at
tempt. 'It Is not a knowledge dependent on In
come, as the particularly limited vocabu
lary of the millionaire proves; It Is a
knowledge dependent only on personal de
sire. Have you that desire? If you haven't,
cultivate It. The command of a good
vocabulary will not provoke the wish to
talk more. Tou probably talk too much
already.
It only means that you will talk better,
and with this good sense that comes with
knowledge, you will talk to a better pur
pose. A new word a day means so many more
planks when one Is about to drown in, a
conversational sea. The right word In
the right place has saved the day many
times, and may save the day for you.
Begin with the Infants, the little simple
words, and never stray beyond them.

A word as long as a freight train Is
not characteristic of Dickens, the best
of all English writers. He used the
plain little simple tools to convey hlu
thoughts, and the best writers, the clear
est thinkers, and the finest scholars
have always een fit to Imitate him.
If you are a thinker, you want the best
tools to convey your thoughts, and those
tools are found In the simplest word In
the English language. Don't be guilty
of flirting with a word so long the first J
syllable Is out of sight before the last
has turned the rorner, and never drop
Into a foreign languago to find a means
to express yourself unless you are willing
to emerge with this placard pasted on
you: "I am a learned fool."
The Frrncli are serious In the Inten
tion to put a ure.it fleet of aeroplane
afloat In tho event of a war with tier
many. Hy the end of tu present year
it Is estimated that
the French army
will have 200 aerial
vessels at' Its dis
posal, and It is cal
culated by military
authorities that at
lciist another 100 will
bo needed to com
pleto tho equipment.
Theio Is talk- of
supplying the
flcleney, In an emer-
Kcncy, by com
mandeering th
largo number of
private aeroplane
which exlBt In
Franco. Aeroplanes
are very quickly con
structed, the types
are now well fixed, they are Inexpensive
and the number of French military of
ficers trained In their management Is
rapidly Increasing. Enthusiasts declare
that It would be easy to man 1,000 within
a few months If they wera needed
The aerial fleet of France at tho end of
the year, 4f only those now contemplated
aro put Into commission, will consist of
120 monoplanes and eighty biplanes. In
addition, there are a number of dirigibles,
but tho French are less enthusiasts over
this kind of aerial vessel than the Ger
mans, although It was In Franca that the
first really successful experiments with
them were made.
The great use to which aeroplanes
would be put In case of nar is for s .'O'.it
ing. Tho ntmonhp.ro along Jhe eastern
frontier of France would be traversed
in all U!t actions by aviators, watching tha
niovctnentH of the Invaders and giving
r.ottce of all Important maneuvers, fcjiuca
aeroplanes enh now Ascend to a holKht
of many thouaitnils of feet, carrying tela
scopes and wireless Xelegrupli apiaratua.
it Is easy to ace that tho cutting of tele
graph lliies would bo 'ineffective In con
cealing the movements of hontlle armies.
As to tliu carrying of un ouenvive uriu-
amttit, that Is hardly to bo thought of
at present, although, where an aero car
ries two pciHOns und many now do that
one of the adventurers might bo pro
vided with a light, high-powered carbine.
Although the primary purpose of tli
military aeroplane is to collect and trans
mit Information, yet it Is piactleally cer
tain that encounters between theso birds
of war would occasionally occur, nnd
nothing more exciting to the Imagination
can easily be concolved than such a con
test, fought out thousands of feet above
the ground. If war comes It Is safo to
predict that tho Htory of the doings of
the aeroplanes will be read With an Inter
est hardly second to that aroused by the
battles. The maneuvers of the French
army In the vautera departments this
autumn made It perfectly evident that one
of the first things the advancing hosts
of Germany caught sight of would be a
line of aerial pickets soaring above tho
woods aiid hills that concealed the de
fending forces, like warning birds giving
notice to an ambushed lion of tho nearlng
of his enemies.

Pa has been over In Filyadelfy for three

f How to Be Beautiful
lly MAJWJAHKT III'IUIAUO AVIS.
Kelug good looking Is lurgely a mutter
of will power.
It la a qUeHtlon of self-control.
. "fh, you, . know, coffee doesn't asrea
with me, bht'I simply love It.' Another
cup, please."t' ' i ' ','.!'
That' Is the defeat of tho early morning
and during the day the woman Who bo
ardently deslrea to be beautiful succumbs
to one after another of the temptations
which she knows she should resist If she
wants to keep the looka she has und de
velop more. '
Many of these temptations meet her at
the table, but her road Is beset with them
at every hand.
There Is the desire to be lasy. especially
prevalent among the stout sisterhood.
No woman has to be lasy unless she
wanta to, nor need she allow the accumu
lation of flesh to continue beyond a cer-..
tain point. But It's easier to get fat and
then bewail one'B fate at Turkihh bulhs
than to control one's desires for too much
and too many cweeU anil exerclso both
brain and body systematically.
Tho woman who Is very thin and In
sists on woryylng over that and other
things mlKht learn to banish her petty
at.d unnecessary worries from her mind
by making a determined effort of the
will. Bhe mlKht cultivate a eenso of
humor and make herRelf look upon tho
bright sldo of things, even if It was
hard. Personally I have never been at'
to understand why people who profess
perfect faith In their Creator should go
nround us hnrassed and worried ax if
they were personally responsible for the
universe.
Atlas, who carried the world on his
shoulders, Is always pictured as a most
careworn, o'd rerson, with a vlsapo
attained with wrinkles. Yet, !f ha had
tossed the earth oft his shoulders nothing
terrible would have happened.' since It
has hung suspended for quite a whllo
wlthqut his help.
There 'are thousands of lady Atlases.
One sees their careworn faces every
where, each earning an unnecessary load
of worry,
"Well, I am of that temperament. I
Just huve to worry about sjmi-thlns all
the time."
I've hnd dozens of women ray that to
me In one breath nnd ask for- a wrinltlo
remedy with tho next. Worry with thoni
as much a weakness as candy U villi
other.

Never a rule holds good about the feathers of a little bird and the character that goes with the feathers.
