First controlled sounds are "gut," "hut," "hoot," "who." To the uninitiated they sound like strangled grunts. Although these people eventually learn to enunciate clearly, their voices always have a flat, lifeless tone...
...avoid the possible misfortune of holding the bag if United Fruit routes its freight some other way, International Railways last week proposed to its stockholders an agreement with United Fruit. By its terms the Fruit Co. would "protect" International Railways against the construction of a new port either on the Atlantic or Pacific for 20 years. It would also provide additional facilities for the long banana haul across Guatemala by buying ten new locomotives and 300 banana cars according to the railroad's specifications.
