K. Ogden, director of the Orthological . Intitute at Cambridge, - England, working in association with another English scholar, Ivor A. Richards, now at Harvard, 3 600 Nouns "Basic English," Profesosr Og- den had explained, "is an attempt to give to everyone a second or international language which will take as little of the legrner's time as possible. It Is a system in which everything may be said for all the purposes of everyday existence-- the common interests of men and women, general talk, news, trade and science. To the eye and ear it will not seem in any way differ- ent from normal English, which is now the language of 500,000,000 people. "It is an English 'in which 850 yords do all the work of 20,000 and has been formed by taking out evorything which iS not neces- sary. tH he sense." jo "Essentially a noun language, 600 of the §50 words of basic English are nouns. [Pour hundred of the nouns are classed as "general," and include words like birth and two - death, blood, gold, rain, air, water, _ front, back, base, top, walk, run, winter, year, ete, © The 200 other nouns are classed -asL'picturable." They imclude such words as angle, baby, bell, engine, library, plane, sun and wire. Only 18 Verbs Basic English has only 18 verbs: Come, yet, give, no, keep, let, make, put; seem, take, be, do, have, say, send, see, may and will. The rest of the vocabulary con- sists of 150 adjectives and $2 pro- .nouns, prepositions conjunctions and adverbs. Used in conjunction with pre- positions, the 18 verbs do the -- work of some 4,000 verbs. not in the .basic English vocabulary. For instance, for "disembark." one would say "get "climb" one would say "go up." _ As Mr. Churcliill pointed out the whole basic English vocab: ulary can be put down on one side of a single sheet of paper. Yet _ono curious thing that has been - noticed about the teaching of basic English is-that an intelligent non- English-speaking person may learn it faster than an English-speaking person, since the latter has to learn to eliminate thousands of < words not in + vocabulary.

Also that they would soon be bivou- acing for the evening meal and that Shere Khan, if he ran all night while they slept, could come up with them, make a casual re- mark to anybody who asked him, to the, effect that he had aban- doned me as 1 couldn't. walk; and he couldigo on with them and play my part as: soon as they were all inside the fort.

Churchill Takes Hour Off At Zoo Made Visit To See His Llon ' and Four Cubs Most people are familiar the famous English comic story about young Albert and the Lion, says the Brantford-Expositor. They may be less well-in-formed on the subject of Mr. Winston Churchill and HIS lion. He actually has one,' Just as Mr. Roosevelt has his dog friend, Fpla. Its name Is Rota and it was presented to him by with the "Zoological Society. ~~ 5 . * + The currently received issue of The Overseas Daily Mail re- counts a delightful and factual yarn about Mr. Churchill and Rota. It relates that, with one dictator out of the way, the Prime Minister decided to-take a morning off. He went to the Zoo. At 11:45, ac- companied by Mrs. Churchill, he appeared at the main gates in Regent's Park. "I've called- to see my lion", he announced, and was prompty let in." But, the newspaper reporter says, he had barely taken three paces inside the turnstiles when a small boy stopped him and .asked it he was Mr, Churchill. -"Yes"", admitted the Prime Minister "Then may I shake your hand? asked the small boy. The request was granted. . . . : From then on it was a trium- phal and somewhat obgtreperous procession to the lion house. Chil- dren and® growmups cheered, slapped the Prime Minister on the back - and mentary: Finally they all came to Rota's cage: Rota is the proud father of four- cubs, which Ar. Churchill: has. named Tunis, Alamein and Mareth. Rota was fed by his master, Bizerte posed for a photograph, but Tunis, alarimed-by all -the- goings-on, hid in a drain-pipe. _ 3 As Mr. and Mrs, Churchill were about to leave, the crowd yelled for a speech; but laughed when the P.M. shook his head and said: "Like you, I'm taking an hour off" ' Richard Wendover.

Helpful Hints For Honey Recipes There 1s really nothing new about honey being used as'a com- mon sweet for human consump- tion, in fact it is very old, being used - before the Introduction of cane sugar. It is recommended for children 'amyl those finding diffi culty with digeston. The reason for this is that honey is made up of three sugars -- levulose, dextrose and small quantities of sucrose. The first two are classed as -invert sugar or. predigested sugars, Levulose is the sweetest sugar so far found in nature and is the predominating sugar of honey. Dextrose is the predomin- ating sugar -in commercial syrups. Honey varies in color from light to very dark - agcordng to the flowers from which it is gathered. The color does not affect its food value, but the lightest in color has more delicate flavor, Honey . may be substituted in recipes for sugar, if a few rules are kept in mind, Honey is always measured in liquid form and when substitut- ing, for every cup of honey used, reduce the liquid.called for in the recipe one-fifth, One cup of honey is the same in sweetening power as one cup of sugar. But honey and sugar differ in their chemical composition--sugar is a straight sweet containing no moisture or acid. Therefore in some recipes such as light cakes, etc, it is best to use equal. quantities of sugar and honey; but in dark cakes, muf- practically the same taste. Use 15 teaspoon soda. to one cup of honey and be sure and Increase the salt 1% teaspoon. In recipes where a thickening agent of flour or cornstarch is being used, add the honey with this agent. ~" These" recipes have, been tried and not found wanting and I hope you enjoy them, every one.

Laura C. Pepper of the Agri- "culture Department's consumer section tells how it's done: i" Only freshly soured, clean-flav- ored milk should be used. The milk is placed in the top of a double boiler"and heated until it separates. into curds and whey. It should be stirred oc¢asionally while heat- ing. The milk will separate when it reaches a temperature between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit-- a drop of milk placed on the wrist will feel lukewarm at this tem- perature.

Slow drying must not be allowed, because that will produce rust on the metal: frame, and rust eats through the cloth. If the weather is right, hang the shade from the clothesline outdoors. The place should be shady, for a too hot sun may make the cloth streaky or spotted. When unsuitable weather prevents outdoor drying, suspend the shade above a radiator and use an electric fan to blow on it. When the fabric is glued to the frame a different method must- be used for cleaning. Grime and grease spots can be removed with the aid of a non-inflammable cleaning fluid used sparingly. The whole shade may be. gone over thoroughly with . oatmeal, Ghake the fine flour out of oat- meal into a dish, dip a soft rag in the flour, and rub all over the fabric carefully. The idea is actually to work the flour into the texture of the silk. Then take a brush, not too stiff, and wisk out every trace of the flour, This will carry with it all dust and grit.
