Dear $i:r: \
f saw the following filler! ih last
Tuesday’s Bryan Daily Kiiglo:
“Robert Lout* Stevenson called
more salty than the average <>f
nil ocean*, bdng 8.0 per cent salt.,’’
In words of one syllable op less,
what does it say?
Sincerely, i
. . C. M.
Answer: You probably read the
serttenefe *wrong. C. M. It should
read. “Being 11.6 per cent salt, Rob
ert Louis Stevenson called more
salty than the aveiage of all
oceans.”
Then too, the Eagle is gUilty of
the same thing of which many
papers are guilty. That is, they use
too much journalistic jargon. Ac
tually the sentence should read,
“Being 8.6 percent salt, Robert
Louis Stevenson called mojre (peo
ple ) salty than the aveirage oif
all oceans (called people fcalty),”
I imagine that you can under
stand it now^ Perhaps a little of
Stevenson’s life will throw more
light on it -for you.
The first phrase ‘‘Being 3.6 per
cent salt,” might seem a little odd
at first. Perhaps you don’t think
Bob was so constituted. But he was,
for Stevenson was raised on the
toast and the sea was in his blood.
Now in the locality where he liv
ed, it was the custom to refer to
everyone who made his living on
the sea as “salty.” The habit be
came so firmly embedded in him
that Stevenson continued to refer
to his acquaintances in later life
as “salty.”

Miss Dietrich and Miss Arthur
meet more than onre in the pic

tain Lund doesn’t- want anything
to happen to his Frauleih and
finally Irak to make loVe to Miss
Arthur to kepp her out Of the
file*. He bargain* for more then
expected, because things Happen
in reversal and they become en- j
gaged. (This file room scene is 4
one of the best in the movie);

The Army steps into [the, picture
and ordai*s Lund to rerifw his ac
quaintances with Mis.f Dietrich,
since they have received qord that
her Nazis lover in hiding Is going
to try and kill him (he’s the Ira it).
Miss Arthur takes it pretty hard
when she finds out it is Lund who
is connected with the Gernian girl,
but later, finds out it is only a
trick to corner- the Nazis.
This is one movie you doh’t want
to miss. It’s a not in Prints, and
is pretty good all the rest of thei
time. ' i
