(1)e.g. West Point Makes a Comeback
“Make a comeback” is an idiom so “a” must be remained.
(2)e.g. How America Sees the World。
In front of “world” there must be a “the”.
(3)e.g. Kill In The Name Of God
“The” should be here for the sake of definit connection.
6.2 Use punctuations to save pages
6.2.1” comma can be in stead of ‘and’ ”[12 ] p140
(1)e.g. Tailand, Malaysia Ink Sea reaty.
(Tailand and Malaysia ink a sea treaty.)
(2)e.g. Woman Kills Husband, Self
(A woman kills her husband and herself.)
6.2.2 Use of colon
“Said” or “say” can be instead by colons or double quotation marks to give a meaning that someone says something or some conclusions are drawn;
“to be” sometimes is replaced by a colon in headlines.
(1)e.g. Hu :We Should Support Third World Countries
(Hu says that we should support the third world counties.)
(2)e.g. Chinese cooks: masters at turning a turnip into a flower.
(Chinese cooks are masters at turning a turnip into a flower.)
6.2.3 Use of single quotation marks
Single quotation marks can quote someone’s saying; or the words in side of them have a deep or other meanings. Single quotation marks are often instead of double quotation marks for they are shorter.
(1)e.g. Teen Killer Was Angry Young Man.
(2)e.g. China Demands U.S. Stop ‘Interfering’ on Human Rights
(3)e.g. Bush Unveils A ‘Can Do’ Budget.
6.3 To save pages,abbreviations and acronyms are used.
6.3.1.Abbreviations
The abbreviations often read in headlines are like follows :
Afr.-Africa app.-appendix

6.3.2.Acronyms
“Acronyms are the words formed from the initial letters of a group of words. They can save space and beautify the headlines in picturesque disorder.”[13] p27
Acronyms can be divided into three types:
(ⅰ)Names of agents or organizations such as CPPCC(The Chinese people’s political consultative conference)and PLO ,WTO…
(ⅱ) Names of something that we use very often such as AIDS,UFO, PC…
(ⅲ)Nouns for careers,positions or credits like PM (prime minister), MP(member of parliament), GM(general manager), PA(personal assistant).
6.4 Using nouns,participles and short adjective to embellish words to replace long adjective or clauses.

(A fear of poison gas is haunting the people in a certain city.)
(2)e.g. 3 Held Over College Horror Crash
(3 people are being detained by the police concerning a horrifying crash at a college.)
