Who Is Queer?
.
(By Grandpa Doolittle)
'From “Better Teaching”)
We’ll begin with box. and the plu
ral is boxes.
But the plural ol ox is oxen, not
oxes.
The one fowl is goose but two are
called geese,
But the plural of moose should
never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a
whole nest of mice.
But the plural of house is houses
not hise.
If the plural of man is always
called men,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan
be pen?
If I speak of a foot and you show
me your feet
And I gave you a boot, would a
pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set,
are teeth, . {
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth !
be beeth.
If the singular is “this” and the
plural is “these’
Should the plural of kiss be nick-|
named keese?
Then one may be “that” and three
may be those
Yet hat in the plural would never;
be hose.
So the English I think you will
all agree
Is the most wonderful language:
you ever did see.

Dewey Assured Of
400 Of 547 Votes .; ]
For Nomination . .
• By The Associated Press)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York today wound up a western
tour which friends confidently de
clare has increased his backing for
the 1948 Republican Presidential
nomination.
As the New Yorker’s train
reached Albany, associates told re
porters they believe about 400
votes are now assured for Dewey
on the first ballot in the GOP
nominating convention. It will re
quire 547 to nominate.
They also made it clear they
regard Senator Robert A. Taft of
Ohio, at this stage as the leading
prospective contender against
Dewey.
Along that line, they said:
Dewey probably will not go on
campaigning trips outside New
York again this year unless it ap
pears that support for Taft is
making strong headway.
Neither Dewey nor Taft ha.^yet
said he definitely will be a candi
date. The only avowed candidate
is former governor Harold Stassen
of Minnesota.
Taft, endorsed by Ohio Repub
licans for the nomination, has an
nounced he will decide after a fall
trip through the west. #
He headed for a fiveweeks Ca
nadian vacation today after a ma
jor political speech at a “Taft1
rally” attended by nearly 1.300
Republicans in Columbus last
night.
That address, perhaps baring
the campaign line Taft would fol
low is nominated, hammered at
President Truman’s foreign and
domestic policies.
Taft called the administration’s
foreign policy “befuddled.” He
said that in the domestic field
Mr. Truman is “still dominated
by the principles of the CIO” and
has refused to cooperate with the
Republican-controlled Congress.
