How Do You Say It?
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Thorn
By C. N. LURIE
INCORRECT USE OF "WHOM'
THE word "whom" is frequently
used incorrectly instead of
“who;" as in the following sen-
tence, taken from a newspaper iu'tl-
cle. which told of a poor mother who
was unable to support her children
and was forced to offer one of them
for sale: "Forced to face this fact
at last. she decided to keep Martin
who, being older. was less trouble
than Margaret and whom she knew
would be cared for by friends." The
word “whom" in this sentence should
be "who."
"Who" is the subject of the verb
"would be cared for." and therefore
must be in the. nominative case of
the pronoun—that is. "who"—-and
not in the objective case. which is
"whom." The words "she know" are
a separate grammatical clause. and
have no influence on the rest of the
sentence.
Some of the best-known authors
have been guilty of this error.

Mourning Costume to Be Worn
In Warm Weather.
HIIIE present-day rules and
regulations for the selection
of mourning apparel are for
less severe than they were some
you. no. there is it growing feeling
on the part of women of the best
tests that mourning clothes should
be, aboveeverythingelse.int-onspicu- I
ous. And this certainly was not the
feeling in the days when women -.
wore heavy French crepe veils. and l
frocks trimmed with wide. bandings
of the same funerenl fabric. and
when any transparent effect was
positively taboo and only the heavi-
est of black Jewelry was considered
correct.
Now anything that attracts undue
attention to the mourning costume
is looked .upon as in slightly bad
taste. Tth at least is trite in this
country. though heavier. more ob-
vious mourning is still worn in
France. l’ure white is preferred to
black and white for summer wear
by most \vell‘dressed American
women. (‘nre however must be
taken to see that every detail and
every accessory is white. pure dead
white. With the black mourning
frock you may wear (lull black shoes
and black silk stockings. very thin
if you like. With the. white mourn-
ing costume it is better to wear pure
white shoes and stockings. Cer-
tainly black shoes and white stock-
ings should never be chosen. and
black shoes and Markings with the
white mourning frock are almost as
badly chosen. Even the hot should
he completely white.
The sketch shows a mourning en-
semble that shows excellent taste in
tho choosing. it consists of n frock
of white chiffon with Winds of “hits

fon banded with white crepe de

edged with chiffon and the lung is

was the name of the sister of Gun-
nar. the great-grandmother of Will-
iam the Conqueror. The .Lady of
the Cards Douloureuee in tho "Be-
trothed" was called Eveline.
Aveline seems to have been more
popular than its equivalent in early
times. since old chronicles record
more instances of the former name
than the latter. The wife of the
last Earl of Lancaster was called
Avelina de Longo Campo. Her
daughter. Eveline. was heiress to the
great county of Lancaster.
Before Miss Burnev's popular
novel presenting Evelina—a name
which she herself invented as an
elaborated form of Eveline—was
published. Eveline had almost dis-
appeared in England. but there was
an immediate revival of the name.
The new fashion of adding a final "a"
was followed. of course. and Evelina
was established in popularity for
many years. Unfortunately for
Evelina. the tendency was to con—
fuse her with Evelyn. especially

HE success of Captain Donald
B. When in carrying radio
into the frown Arctic and so
keeping in touch with the folks back
home is by no means the full story
of hie nmuksble achievement. It
has Just been disclosed that the low-
power transmitter aboard Captain
MwMillsn'e little schooner "Bow.
doin" probably has broken all world
records for zoo-meter wave long-
distanco transmission.
Because of the extremely small
space available on the "Bowdoin"
only a low-power transmitter of 100
watt capacity could be installed, And
so Machllan'e radio operator. Don-
ald Mix. little dreamed how far his
signals were carrying. They carried
so far that his call letters, WNP.
were heard distinctly by W. Cottrell,
an amateur operator of Coogoe. Aus-
tralia. while MecMillan's station was
communicating with GXAD. on ex-
perimental station at Avalon on the
Cataline Islands. Thus the signal!
were heard over a distance of more
than 9,000 miles!
There seems to be little question
about this record: for the Australian
amateur was able to identify the
peculiar son-cycle self-rectified note
characteristic of the unusual type of
transmitter with which the Illa/chill-
lan expedition" wsa‘equipped.
In connection with the return of
tho MacMillsn expedition an inter-
esting radio phenomenon was ob-
served at the special amateur radio
station. IMO. installed by the Amer-
ican Radio lielay League at Wis-
caeset. Me. to establish communica-
tions with the "Bowdoin." The sta-
tion had not been operating long be-
fore mysterious changes in‘ the
wavelength of the transmitter were
noticed. When tb sending set was
tuned to a wavelength of 165 meters
there was a variation of eight meters.
When it was tunedithe artificial condensation products
in a few hours.
Finally it was discovered that the
variations accompanied changes in
the tides. Always the wavelength
increased with the rise of the tide.
and decreased with the fail.
THE RADIO PRIMER
Ono Dolly Foot for Listeners
Panels orb the front hoards of
radio «to. It is perfectly possible
to build a radio set without a. panel.
The instruments. wiring and other
parts of the set are merely mounted
in any convenient manner on a. been.
bound of some kind and connected
up. Several forms of commercial
receivers are made in this way and
nearly all radio experiments use this
simple. base-board mounting in try-
log out new hook-ups.
But there has gradually grown up
in the radio business the habit of
attaching the instruments to the
back of a vertical panel. the shafts
of the condensers. variometers and
other instruments extending through
holes in the panel so that the dials
and handles for operating these in.
struments are on the front of the
panel. There is no special advan-
tage in this arrangement. Indeed.
it has a number of serious disad-
vantages. But it is the fashion and
everybody will probably continue to
arrange things in this way.
The most important thing about
the panel is the perfection of its in-
sulsting properties. This is not be-
cause of any wiring that actually
touches the panel. It is easy to ar-
range the set so that the panel is
not touched by any of the. electrical
circuits. The trouble with panels
that are not good insulators comes
from the absorption of the radio
energy. in the same” way as it is
absorbed by insulation on the wires.
as described in the Primer recently.
The two materials in commonest
use for panels are hard rubber and
to the short wave. of R0 meters then! the type of bakelite. Both are

HOW I STAND CONTRADICTIONS
Each month I figure each amount
I have in every bank account.
A little here. a. little there.
Although but little 1 can spare.
And write it out in flowing hand-—
Each month I figure how I stand.
And yet myself I never ask,
Myself I never take to task.
I never ask myself the way
I really stand myself today—
Not at the banks. but how I look
In something else besides a book.
How do I look in others‘ eyes?—
A bit more foolish. bit more wise?
Yes. when the month begins or
ends.
How do I stand among my friends?
How does the page of liftI appear
To those I know. to those most door?

Have. I lived down some. foolish
past?
Have I learned common sense at
least?
Have I paid off a debt or two.
Some bank of love I overdrew?
Whatever figures may infer.
Have I improved my character?
I-wondor what men think of me?
I wonder Just what women see 7-—
A darker soul. a cleaner mind.
A heart more cruel or more kind?
Perhaps my monthly balance grow:—
I may be poorer though“ God knows.
Folks know that I am doing well:
They know how much I buy and
sell:
But do they think of me tonight
Not doing well but doing right?
With God and family and land
I wonder how I really stand?
The Midsummer
First Course
SE a little imagination in
U planning the first course for
summer dinners. Don't sl-
wsys have something hot—don't
always have something cold. A
hot soup. on a very hot day. is
delicious if it is not too heavy.
Split pea soup for s. midsummer
night dinner is a bad choice. A
cool appetizer is likewise a. good
choice—if it is right. But many
slicos of sausage and pickled beet
and sardines. arranged as an
hors-d'oeuvre. though they might
appeal with an Italian table d’hote
in midwinter. will badly" do in
midsummer.
A chilled fruit appetizer is I
good choice. Clear oonsomme. in
cups. either hot or jellied. is good.
Jellied chicken broth served with
chopped parsley and quartered
lemon. is good. A «nope consist-
ing of a slice of toast. a slice of
tomato. and some sort of trimming
--s broiled slice of bacon. a little
Russian dressing. a little cream
choose—is good.
Here is a recipe for s good'bec
ginning for the summer dinner:

Simmer a quart of green pm
one-half hour. then press through
a colander. Make a rich white
sauce. using a. tablespoon of flour
end a heaping tablespoon of but-

When I am decent I condemn
The rest of men. I find in them
A lot of fault. a lot of sin.
And then to preach I oft begin
And make them sad with holy ire
And burn their souls with words of
fire.
But then some day. some foolish clay.
A little while I seem to stray.
And. with some little. sin my own.
The other fellow's sin condone.
It‘seoms to me that all along
When I do right then I do wrong
By making other people sad.
But. when I'm just a little bud.
Myself. then others I forgive——
When I live wrong then right I live.
When I'm perfection every way.
And nothing foolish do or say.
I do not have so good a time.
But. when from pedestal I climb
And laugh perhaps a little loud
And joke and jostlo with the crowd,
Perhaps may even snatch a kiss
Some little maid will never miss.
Although it‘s foolish to agree
It's tucked away in memory.
And often in some afterwhile
I still remember it. and smile.
This world's a funny place at that.
You never know Just where you‘re
at:
Perhaps. though logic it defies.
