A simple thing like a comma can cause a lot of confusion if it i! not put in its roper lace in writing. Let me te you a out the comma which cost the United States :2,000.000 plus a year of dis- iressing anxiety and humiliation. rhe mistake occurred in 1880. but there was no legal avenue of ca- cape from the dilemma wrought by the misplaced little comma.

In a tariff bill, a section enumer- ating what articles should be ad- mitted free of duty specified "all foreign fruit-plants." etc. This meant plants for transplanting ,pro- pagstion. or experiment.

A government clerk copying the bill changed the hyphen in the compound word "fruit-plants" to a comma, making the phrase read ”all foreign fruit. plants," etc.

choking caused . iiuint's Death Says Expert

MONTREAL (CP) -Dr. Rosario Fontaine, Quebec medico-legal ex- pert who performed an autopsy on the body of Emile Dionne, ex- plained yesterday that the girl choked to death.

Dr. Fontaine, elaborating on a statement made Saturday at the conclusion of an autopsy. said the immediate cause of death of the famed quintuplet was "asphyxia- tion" or suffocation. -This occur- red. he said, while Emile was seized by one of a series of epilep- tic fits.

The Quebec government medical expert. who has been called on to determine the cause of hundreds of deaths occurring when no doctors were present. said Emile probably smothered in her pillow or bed- clothes.

He said it was also possible that her lungs failed after a long series of epileptic attacks.

NOT DEFINITE

"I cannot say definitely how she was asphyxiated, but that is how she died," said Dr. Fontainc, back on duty at Quebec provincial police morgue after week-end absence in the country.

"Apparently she had had a series of fits -no one knows exactly how many - Thursday night. Perhaps her lungs became too exhausted to breathe. It was obvious that she had epilepsy for a very long time. . "It was at first my opinion that she smothered herself during a fit but no one at the Ste. Agathe hostel where she was could remember whether the body was found face up or face down on the bed."

Commenting on United States re- ports that epilepsy associations there were doubtful Emile died of epilepsy. Dr. Fontaine said "news- paper men probebly got lost in technical terms."

He said a preliminary'examina- tion showed all Emiie's endocrine glands were enlarged-particularly the pituitary. thyroid. ovaries and spleen.

Legioinietains Prayer In its Nov. 1 1 Services

TORONTO (CF) -- The Canadian Legion decided today to keep a prayer in its Nov. 11 Remem- brance Day services whether the armed forces attend or not.

The decision was prompted by the situation in Montreal last year when a prayer was dropped from the Montreal Legion Remembrance Day Program after defence head- quarters said the armed forces would not be permitted to parade it it were read.

H. A. Newmark of Montreal fold the Legion convention here that the proposed prayer had been approved by heads of the Protestant. Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths in Mont- real. 1 He said the armed foroes' deci- sion was based on a section in army regulations stating:

"Nb officer or man shall be re- quired to attend a religious service other than a service of the group
