II ORGANIZATION ID I PURIFHNGLISH New Association to Resist Use of Foreign Words and Adopt Terse English. London, Dec 27. An organization which promises to shake London's complacency as the fountain head of English as it should be spoken, has taken form at Oxford under the direc tion of the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges, aided by such masters of Eng lish as Thomas Hardy Dr. Henry Bradley, Sir Walter Raleigh and Pro fessor John V. Mackall While the objects of the association hav not yet been fully defined, they probably will Include the publication of literature, the delivery of lectures, attempts ultimately to influence the teachers over the whole countrv to aid in the restoration of the purity of the language, both written and epokon, and to resist the unnecessary Incor poration of foreign words, and to en courage the adoption in polite speech of ctIbp. terse, vigorous words from the dialects The English that John son spoke rather than the English that Johnson wrote Is the object alme.l at by the association. Johnson would have said "ro.t." but he would hare written "putrefy." In a tract prepared for the English association Dr. Bridges declares thai we say "neycher" lor nature and that tunP is well on Its way to become "chlune." A professor ot Encllsh has been heard to sav "audjlns" for aud ience An Oxford professor says "cwesh'yun" for question and Is Badly addicted to the word. The younger generation say "pawing" for poui Fortunately the educated south is learning that there is un "h" In wheel and when Ireland and Scotland ne er forget It. Dr. Bridccs concludes his tract as follows: "A Londoner will sav that a Scotchman talks strangely and 111 the truth is that he himself is the typical attitude of vulgar Ignorance In these matters. He is disposed to look down upon all that he ts unaccustom ed to. and not knowing the true dis tinctions, he esteems his own de graded custom as correct ." NEW FIRE BOXES ON THE 0. S. L. The Herald Republican ?a In StaJlatlon of Improvements on the fire boxes of switching engines In the Salt Lake yards was completed yes terday by the Oregon Short Line rail road. With careful firing It is said the new design of flro boxes will practically eliminate engine bmoke in the Salt Lake yards and aid In the keeping down of the smoke sulsance in the city The Oregon Short Line has begun a campaign of education all over the system to prevent making ot black sr.aokc by engines, and a specially equipped car Js being sent out over the line that engineers and firemen may receive instructions in the prop er handling of coal Orders have been issued by YV H Bancroft, gen- ral manager of the road, that here after all engines ordered irom loco motive works shall be equipped with fire brick arches In the fire boxes, which aid in the proper combustion of the coal and the elimination of black smoke. The railroad has Issued a large booklet, which Is being given to all firemen and engineers showing the proper methods of firing engines to eliminate black smoke The railroad takes the position that black smoke is caused by improper firing and that it is a most expensive proposition to the railroad, as the fuel bills are the most Important part of operating cost. Causes Smoke Combustion. The fire boxe6 on the sixteen switching engines used In the Salt Lake yards huve been equipped with combustion tubes, originated by H. M. Glllls. mechanical engineer under J. K. Dunn, assistant general manag er and superintendent of motive pow er of the Oregon Short Line. Firebrick arches have been Install ed In addition to the combustion tubes, and as they give additional ; Y eating space and cause a better draft from the combustion tubes and from the sides and top of the fire box. great quantities 01 smoKe are con sumed. Steam to Warm Air. As soon as the switching engines aio sent to the shop, a steam Jet will be placed In each of the combustion tubes in order that the combustion may be more perfect. in order that all possibilities of black smoke may bo eliminated, the switching engines are to be equipped with superheaters, Thl6 is an Inven tion which will stop block smoke when engines are required to do ex tra heavy work. The uperhr :if r raises the steam In the boiler to a much greater pressure than the gauge Indicates, and when the extra amount of hot steam Is needed, the fire box will not need to bo filled with coal in order to produce the locomatlve power. The superheater will be in stalled on passenger enginos as rap idly as the Short Lino cau do the work. Keep Fire Box Shut, firing locomotives with the firebox door open Is another' cause of smoke which is being eliminated by the Ore gon Short Line. Firemen are being lii-tructed that after each shovelful of coal is placed in the flreboi the door should be closed. Traveling engin eers and traveling flremeu, who go ' over the road to see that engineers land firemen are handling the motie power of tho railroad properly. In struct tho firemen and engineers in the matter of prevention of smoke II a fireman persists In wasting fuel and making smoke, he Is called be furo tho superintendent of the divis ion and laid off a number of days At stations all firemen must put on the blower, which stops the making oi smoke by giving a bed of red coab. The try out of the combustion tubes, steam Jet, superheater and firebrick arch Is being watched carefully, and if they are a success, It is said organ izations opposed to tho smoko uuls ai co w ill petition the Denver & Rio Grande to install the similar equipment. uu Read tho classified Ads.
