Enunciation

Enunciation!

Some wag, thinking of the M. I. A. contest requirements in public speaking, music and story-telling, has submitted the following to the Era as he says, "without rates." He evidently considers that there is still great need of "enunciation" as a point of judgment in our

contests. He titles his contribution thus. "Whut Langwidge Iz Zis?"

'"Lo, Bill." '"Lo, Steve." "Where yuh goin'?" "Home." I'Whuffor?" "T' eat supper." "Cummmin' t' Muchool t'night?" "Uh-huh." "Goin' int' th' public speakin' contest agin?" "Uh-huh." "Did'n' win out th' las' time, diclja?" "Huh-uh." "Whazzamatter ?", "Aw, those judges said my enunciashun wuzzn't up t' standard. "Aw, they're crazy, Bill." '"Swut I think, too. Well, s'long, Steve." "S'long, Bill."
