But this does not mean, of course, that headlinese is ungrammatical. On the contrary o o ENE 0 se t & w idhd i i sie inss s ind ns 4 he thinks it has developed its own grammar. In this special grammar, however, there are no elements exâ€" cept "the form of each word and its position in the headline‘"‘ There A book recently published in Lon don approaches the headline from a very different point of view. This study, which is the work of Heinâ€" rich Straumann, has as its subtitle, "A Study in Linguistic Method," and it soberly argues that "headâ€" linese" as the author calls it, is no less than the most important contriâ€" bution to a new language in the makâ€" ing, which he calls "block language." While he is concerned wih the socioâ€" logical and psychological significance of the headline, the author‘s real theme is the analysis of the formal and semantic principles of headâ€" linese. The public importance of the newsâ€" paper headline is obvious. By and large, the work of the headline writâ€" er is read at least as avidly and a good deal more thoroughly than the runâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"mill production of the proud tribe of reporters. However, the headline is only just beginning to receive the serious attention it merits. Until now it has had an intâ€" erest only for aloof students of "conâ€" temporary civilization," for the au thors of practical handbooks of jourâ€" nalism and for collectors of jests. HEADLINE WRITER IS RECOGNIZED ; A LEARNED BOOK ABOUT HIS ART One morning, Adam arrived at the office to find it buzzing with exâ€" citement. A warrant had been isâ€" sued the previous night for the arâ€" rest of Montada on extensive crimâ€" inal charges. The police had howâ€" ever failed to serve it, for several days. At his house outside Mensâ€" bridge it was stated that he dad left the country with the intention _ of visiting Spain on important busiâ€" ness, Mr, Perkin confirmed that he had been instructed by dis client to take charge of his affairs in England for a few months,. Beyond that he knew nothing and, of course, he was abundantly prepared to do _ everyâ€" thing possible to assist the police. His attitude was irreproachable, his hard smile as unconcerned as ever, but in his more private moments he looked profoundly worried, The letter was duly written and posted that night, but, unfortunate ly for Norval‘s alternative program, a complete change in the position and circumstances of Mr, Montada took place with lightning rapidity. "I ceriainly can‘t," agreed Norâ€" val as they approached the corner of Cavendish Street, where it was necessary for Adam to take leave of them, "At any rate, though, there is one thing certain, and that is that I am going to write the Film Comâ€" pany tonight, If that line of enquiry does not lead us anywhere, then I am prepared to seek an interview with Montada." get frow Montada, I am certain," agreed Adam. "I fancy that he would just use the opportunity to confuse us still further. There is a mysâ€" tery in this that goes deeper, ii you ask me, than any mere desire to secure some unique . specimens of furniture. By the way, Perkin says his object is patriotic, a sort of senâ€" timental ambition to acquire a mas terpiece of his native craftsmanâ€" ship, I can‘t understand a man who is capable of such an exalted attiâ€" tude being prepared to employ burâ€" glary, and possibly murder, to gain his ends." do with Montada‘s desire to get hold of your five crooked chairs then what on earth have they to do with it? Can you imagine them to be all coincidences entirely unconnectâ€" ed ?* ‘"But has he employed them, or tried to employ them? After all we may have been putting two and two together to make a fantastic total." "We may, but our answer to the sum seems to be the only one that will account for all the facts.

Nevertheless, the writer of headlines, accustomed to finding all the stories, motion pictures and plays revolving around the romantic reporter, should be grateful that he has at least been made the subject of a scholarly monograph. ‘ Picture the astonishment of a copy reader who was told that the head, “M_otorisj: Refused License," neutrals, verbals and particles. Mr. Straumann is able, it seems, to forâ€" mulate a logical basis for this sysâ€" tem of grammar and by its light to praise or condemn examples of headâ€" line writing as "good" or "bad," though the terms that Mr. Strauâ€" mann employs would astound the writer of the headlines. There can nevor be happy sharing uniess the parent respects the rights and privileges of the host and hosâ€" tess, even though they are son and The dearest friend can be in the way at times. It is absurd to think that any of us are always welcome. When homes have to be shared it is best, if at all possible, to allocate a room where the older person may be alone, and may withdraw when it is obviously better to do so. HAPPY ShARING Several letters have come from people who have happily solved this problem, and who find that young and old are of mutual help. If ever there was a position in which it is necessary to apply the Golden Rule, surely this is one. If old people could remember that they have had their years of home life and that now, even though parâ€" ents, they are guests, these tragedies might be averted. Another despairâ€" ing letter comes from a very young bride whose home is being spoiled by the selfishness of a parent, who not only insists on sharing the home, but takes no notice at all of the orâ€" dinary rules of the household, A third wise letter came from a widow who is making a wise choice in keepâ€" ing on her own charming home and making her own life. This is not alâ€" ways possible for many reasons, but surely this eternal problem of old age need not be so insuperable if there were a little more straight thinking about it and little more planning. By constant interference she has reduced one daughter to the verge of a nervous breakdown, almost caused a breach between another daughter and her husband, and made life a "nightmare" for a son who enâ€" tertained her with great kindness. GROWN.UP NOW Of course, to mothers their chilâ€" dren, even when married and parâ€" ents themselves, are still children. It is difficult for them to realize that their "little girl" is now misâ€" tress in her own house, and that "mother" is after all a guest. The letter goes on to tell a sad story of children who, happily marâ€" ried, are anxious to do their best to make their mother‘s old age happy, too, and how the mother apparently cannot remember that after all, these houses are not her own. ‘Younger people should take care of the old," writes a correspondent ‘but will you please put in a plea to the old not to be so interfering and difficult to live with." WHEN MOTHER S A GUESI Older People Do Not Always Realize That Their Childâ€" ren Are Grown Up And Must Be Treated As Adult Members Of Society.

There are now 500 licensed fur farmers in Alberta. Others are turnâ€" ing to this profitable activity in ever increasing numbers, either as a deâ€" partment of ordinary farm operaâ€" tions or as an exclusive enterprise. Mink, fitch, fisher, marten, muskrat, racoon and badger are all bred in captivity for commercial purposes as well as the fox. With the number of fur farmers in Alberta more than doubled in the past two years, and with quality of pelts greatly improved from adâ€" herence to established _ scientific methods of raising fur bearing aniâ€" mals, this type of farming in the province has been raised to the status of a $1,000,000 industry, acâ€" cording to Stanley H.
