To train yourself o make these vowels right, practice wjj ireathing In deeply through the nose a ind the mouth at the same time, so hat the whole back of the mouth mc eels open; and then breathe out in ce, no same way. teepiug me ui?cu i**,. so, ng in the back of the mouth. The (rs process is about the same as in groaning. an NASAL VOWKLS" fr. The four voyeis made in this way $1 are called "nasal vowels." The first of these is like the a in "father," ?xcept that the breath comes out through both nose and mouth. The jound will be represented.' in explain- m( ing pronunciation, by the sign Sh. A French example is the word franc, pronounced frah. which means franc" (twenty cents). Notice that the n which appears in the spelling pj, doesn't appear at all in the pronunciation. <ju The second nasal vowel is a good deal ilke the a in "angry," Jf yob stop short with the vowel sound and don't follow it with the ng. This sound will be represented by ?. Example: cinq, s5k, "five." Note that an the n is silent. ne The third is like the sound un, exr-ept that the breath comes out 8le through both nose and mouth. It is n sort of grunt, made with the lips 8 stuck out. It will be represented by uh. Example: on, uh, "one," or "a" or "an." Note that the n i^ silent. *ei The fourth is like the o in "softer," tei except that the breath comes out v" through both nose and mouth. It will be represented by o. Example: an bon, bo, "good." Note that the n is silent.

They looking out, for Instance, to see taxes, mortgage interest, and in ace premiums are Kept paia up, several states have distributed able printed "legal suggestions" he men In the fields. Wisconsin also arranged to keep the men in a with their homes by appointing al" for each to correspond with look after his family and to re- ' [ neighbors to send him news home. - .ft? cidentally, the conscientious s have not overlooked the need olicing the military camps and ;6nt territory; and not only have provided for official police in lclghborhood but several of them appointed policewomen to assist asking conditions right in the hat the man In Jhe camp, or in trenches, wants about as badly e wants anything is letters from e.
