I SOMETIMES wonder It good spellers deserve so much crodlt, for It s
said lo be an Inherited gift. A well known society woman of thla
city thinks that they do not. She Is an unusually brilliant woman,
clever conversationalist, prominent In art circles and n great French
student, but when It comes to spoiling she meets her Waterloo.
The other morning she telephoned her husband, who is a notoO
scholar and lawycri "How do you spell 'Plscopal?' " she asked. "I am
writing a letter and I cannot find It In the dictionary and the cook cannot
spell, and neither can the second maid.
"Well, tell mo, under which letter are you looking In the dictionary?"
naked the careful lawyer.
"Under tho letter P, of course," she said.
Another friend of mine who Is decidedly versatile and clover, and
.who has a diploma, all right, was on the observation car on an eaBtbound
train recently, when a woman sitting near her who was writing a letter
evidently decided my frlond scorned quite learned, for she turned and
asked:
"How do you spell 'accurate?'"
"Why, 'ncqnorltc,' I think, " stammered my friend.
This friend also has journalistic aspirations like myself, and recently
I read where a friend-of ours had been "skcolng." I looked In tho die
ttonary and found "Skeen, obsolete." But I think our friend is really
enjoying "skiing' in Switzerland.

COUNCIL WILL INVESTIGATE
Ilj-der the rlnygronnd Are
Not Supervised nl Hummel
Says He Han Huch Men
on the Pay Roll,
Where shall there be light?
Park Commissioner J. B. Hummel, with
valiant mien, told the city commission
that It la now expedient and necessary to
put more lights In park playgrounds so
children may play of nights.
With equal fervor Street Commissioner
J. J. Ryder lifted his voice In favor of
more light in dull, dark residential sec
Hons. Thcro was, for a time, signs of
scvoro disagreement between Hummel
und Ryder, but tho matter was temporar
ily settled.
All of tho city commission will go, to
gether, to the parks and dark residential
sections Saturday afternoon to decide
whero tho lights ought to be placed.
Commissioner Hummel has recom
mended tho removal of fourteen arc
lights from residence districts to the
parks. He says he must have lighted
,' playgrounds.
Commissioner Ryder said he had nr
fault to find with Hummel, but ho knew
1 of his personal knowledge that the play
f grounds In tho city were not supervised
anyway. Here Hummel rose to tno occa
slon by declaring ho bad playground su
pcrvlsora on his payroll and knew they
wern working, one In every playground,
he said.
Show them to Us?" Ryder asked.
Druesedow Declares
Dry Wahoo Sight of
One Whole Lifetime
I'm glad T saw It for once. It's the
sight of a lifetime."
Thus spoke Robert C. Druesedow, re
turning from Wahoo, whero hQ happened
to bo Thursday when the saloons closed
In accordance with tho wishes of the
oters, who voted the town dry, effective
May 1.
"They were sold out of beer before
evening," said Mr. Druesedow, "and an
Hour before 8 o'clock men were every
where carrying armful of wines and
liquor to their homes to help them wlth-
tand the drouth for a time."
Druesedow says he was told that some.
of the voters voted dry Just for a Joke,
but that they admitted It looked as though
It would be a "choking" Instead of a
'Joking" matter.
