cluding that imposed in Bruce Coun-
ty; to run concurrently. Riley plead-
ed guilty to the theft of chickens
from Morley C. Jordan. of Londes-
'hero, but denied stealing a pig from
'the same gentleman. Be admitted

HOW TO PRONOUNCE
"GLADIOLUS"
There is possibly no section of
Canada where the gladiolus grows in
such Beauty and profusion as West -
elm Ontario. 'Yet the word cannot
be spoken or written without start-
ing an argument as to how to pro-
nounce the flower's name and bow to
write the plural of it.
Some scientific research on this
weighty matter has been conducted
by the Winnipeg Free Press, which
finds that the charming and possibly
unique feature of this argument, it
turns out on ocnsulting the Oxford
English Dictionary, is that everyone
is right, The 0.E.D. is not generally
an accommodating work (for in-
stance, it says "epigratnme" and does
not admit "epigram" as an alterna-
tive), but it gives one' a free hand
with gladiolus.
One may prong race it gladdyolus,
to rhyme with bolus -bolus, or again
one may' say gla-dyolus with accent
on the sly. As for the plural, there
is aft even wider choice. Gladioli iq
all right the word being Latin. Glad-
ioluses is likewise in order. And peo-
ple who like neither of these can use
gladiolus "in a collative sense," sig-
nifying not one bloom but many.
Gladiolus, in short, is one of those
words it is perfectly safe to go a-
head and pronounce in any company
and ,in either the singular or the
plural. You can't go' wrong.
