Northerners Blamed For Mutilating Name "Carolina” Raleigh, Sept. 21 High state officials and educators today plac ed the responsibility for the “mu tilation” of the “Carolina” squarely on the tongues of north erners who have "gone southern” after a week’s vacation below the Mason and Dixon line. Persons interviewed gulped, flinched and, in some instances, ev en shook their fists when asked if they ever referred to the state as “North Ca’lina” or “North Ca’liny.” Clyde A. Erwin, the state’s sup erintendent of public instruction, even went so far as to promiste to do all he could to “help protect the proper pronunciation” of the name by school children. And Governor Ehringhaus, who has been known on at least two oc casions to have corrected publicly northerners who deleted letters - from the state’s name, glared and rapped viciously on his desk with an extended forefinger. “There may be some people from other states who say ‘Calina’ or even ‘Ca’liny,’ ” he said slowly. “But the word is Carolina—C-ar-o-l-i-n-a.” The controversy started last week when the Columbia (S. C.) State charged editorially that Presi dent Roosevelt was the only per son at the lucent green pasture po litical rally in Charlotte “who pro nounced ‘Carolina’ as we recognize the correct pronunciation every letter sounded.” The newspaper suggested a 30- day sentence for those caught say ing “Ca’lina” and a six-month sent ence for those calling it “Ca’liny.” Mrs. Fannie McGowan of Wag oner, S. C., a former Tar Heel, to day wrote Erwin that the criticism “is getting to be a pain.” she asked him to “require all the teachers to drill the school children in the cor rect pronunciation every day,” in the event the name really is being mispronounced. Commenting on the letter, Erwin said, “It ought to be a capital of fense” for anyone to say “Ca’lina” or, worse still, “Ca’liny.” He added that virtually all offenders came from the north. Some other comments: Secretary of State Stacey W. Wade: “Hanging is too good for anyone who says C’lina.” State Treasurer Charles M.

KEEPS OUT LIGHT Bye Science Service Erosion not only makes the land unfit for crop production; it also fills the rivers and lakes with 3ilt that makes the water unfit for fish production. Some of the ill effects of erosion sit being demonstrated by researches of Dr. M. M. Ellis of •the United States bureau of fish eries. Hq states: “Erosion silt alters aquatic environ ments, chiefly by screening out light, by changing heat radiation, by blanketing the stream bottom, and by retaining organic material and other substances which create unfavorable conditions at the bot tom.” If light does not penetrate well into the water, it becomes less suit able as a home for fish and other desirable water animals. Silt-filled waters in the central United States reduce daylight to a millionth of its surface intensity at a depth of about a yard, or in especially bad plaoes only half that much, Nor mal penetration in inland fresh waters ranges from 15 to 35 yards. Erosion silt also alters the rate of temperature change in river waters, continues Dr. Ellis. This is Especially noticeable in lakes through which rivers flow. Here a surface layqr of warm, muddy wat ers flows over the deeper, clear cold water during the summer months. The deeper water, of course, receives little or no sunlight because of the muddy screen above it. Erosion silt acts murderously on river mussels, often called fresh water calms, which are economic ally important as the chief source of shell for pearl buttons. Though these animals are usually thought of as mud-dwellers thfejy actually prefer sand or gravel beds, and can not stand being silted over. Dr. El lis states that in water otherwise suitable a layer of silt from one quartJqr of an inch to one inch deep produced a high mortality among mussels. “LOVE ON THE RUN” with Clark Gable—Joan Crawford—* Franchot Tone. “MAYTIME” with Jeanette MacDonald—Nelson Eddy. “OLD HUTCH” with Wallace Berry—Cecilia Parket “ROMEO AND JUILET” with Norma Shearer—Leslie Howard —J.
