Our Rich Language By JOHN CARLYLE (Copyright, 1928.) Problems of the Greater Importance In the View of the Economic League MTj I MU- Of5 tUrvT I The average American borrows words from sixteen languages in the course of a day's talk. So we are told by Professor John A. Scott of Northwestern University. The child, saying his evening prayer at his mother's knee, takes his "amen" from the Hebrew tongue. When you telephone your office that you will be late this morning you use an instrument with a pure Greek name.

You have potatoes for lunch. Potatoes is a food word brought from the West Indies, though the potatoes come from North America. If mother has hominy for breakfast, it ought to remind you of our own Indians, for the word came from them. Perhaps you like molasses on your bread. Molasses is a Portuguese word.

The gas that helps prepare the meal gets its name, so the philologists tell us, from the Dutch. The word shampoo is so common in modern American life that you may think it was invented in our country. As a matter of fact it is a Hindu word And the lilac toilet water that the barber insists you ought to buy derives its name from Persia. The vanilla which flavors our most popular brand of ice cream takfi name from the Spanish. These are days of radio concerts.

We have gone to Italy for the word concert. Over there they call it concerto. Although shampoo is Hindu, bamboo is Malayan in origin, and kangaroo is Polynesian. The Chinese and the Arabic, which are very old languages, have helped out a lot. We get silk and serge from the Chinese, while algebra, alcohol, cotton, and candy are Arabic in origin.

It is a rich language that we of modern America, speaking English, havi fallen heir to. We would do well to study it more, understand it better, and give moni time to the cultivation of the power of clear and forceful expression. The result of a preferential vote by the National Council of the National Economic League on the "paramount preblems" taken Iat month has just been announced. Fifty problems were under consideration. Each voter could vote on all, designating, in his opinion, the order of their importance.

The two subjects engaging the first attention of the greater number, were first, the administration of justice, second, lawlessness, both nearly allied. For the first, 1720 votes were cast, and for the latter. Prohibition' was third, with 1247. Other Fubjccts of declining importance in the view of the oters, were flood control, prevention of war. farm relief, ethical, moral, religious lraining; and taxation.

Then there was a decided slump of interest in such problems a3 the World Court, conservation of natural resources, the League of Nations, air navigation, education, our foreign policy, and limitation of armaments. It is rather surprising, the low place given to motor traffic regulation. There is also a surprising absence of excitement, as indicated by the votes, over immigration, the tariff, the merchant marine, militarism, the regulation and control of industry, trusts and' monopolies, the European war debt and national defense. The persons who took part in this preferential voting are among the outstanding members of their several communities. Their membership in the league was solicited for that reason.

They are supposed to read more widely and closely than the average citizen. Yet it is a curious fact that they were less concerned about various economic and social problems in which several small noisy groups are engaged in perpetual clamor. The four subjects at the head of the list, the administration of justice, lawlessness, prohibition and flood control, are those which we would expect to find there, though in view of its great importance we would expect to find among them, farm relief. That it has been given a lower place may be explained by the fact that the League is largely made up of persons living in towns and cities, thus having less direct interest in agriculture. The prohibition question perhaps, Is commanding the attention of a larger number of people than any other, though many of the classes which are interested in it are not represented in the membership of the League, hence its position in the third place.

Flood control owes its fourth place, of course, entirely to the inundation of the lower Mississippi valley last year. It cannot be said that the result of the preferential voting gives us a cross-section of popular sentiment in regard to the relative importance of the various subjects under consideration, though, certainly, the two leading ones, the administration of justice and lawlessness, must in the view of all thinking persons, deserve primary attention. The Once Over By H. I. Phillips GLAD TIDINGS FOR THE WELL DRESSED MALE (Copyright, 1928, by The Associated Newspapers) London reports that a scientist named Einstein has invented a metal-ized suit, which will- last a lifetime.

This is the most popular announce- ment to feature the men's style news in years. The need of the" ages has been a suit a clothes a man could buy as soon as he got hi3 growth, wear it all his life and leave it to his son. ords of measurements. Once a suit is made for a man he will be practically fixed for life, barring major accidents. a a a And the old clothes man will rapidly become extinct.

When a suit gets too old to be of any value for wearing purposes it will be worth much more as an antique. a a Dialogue In a Metalised Tailoring Shop Customer: You'll get no more patronage from me. That last suit you made me was no good. Tailor: What was the matter with it? took it to a foundry and had it tested. Tailor: It was the best material I and A JJ University the mines can produce.

Herald Tribune, a a a AMERICAN DIALOGUES He: Here's a little ring for you, m'darling. She: I couldn't take it now. Wait until tomorrow. Drs. Xeal and Kobnett of Columbia, analyzed closely 182 acute surgical cases.

They tell us that insofar as the ordinary signs and symptoms were concerned there would have been no need for operation in six cases, but there was such a great increase in the number of white corpuscles in the blood that the operation was performed, and all needed immediate surgical interference. In fact in three of them gangrene had already started. "This group would have gone to a more general infection and probably death, had not the operation been performed." As you know an operation is something that has been rendered much more safe than in past times. The care of the patient before, during, and after the operation is now I have spoken once before about a young chap who during the in-fiuenza epidemic in 1918 developed a pneumonis. Despite a high temperature, rapid breathing, and great prostration, his white blood iprpuscles did not increase in number.

The consulting physician shook his head at once when this report came back from the laboratory. What did it mean? That despite all the damage being: done to the system by the organisms of grippe and pneumonia, the white blood corpuscles had not increased in number to fight them. In other words his body forces were unable to put up any fight whatever, and he passed away. Fortunately this is a very rare occurence, because the first thing Nature does when Infect ion attacks the body is to increase the number of these white corpuicles in the blood. By the arpount of this increase which may be just twice, or more than ten times ot the normal number in the blood, the physician can estimate the severity of the infection, and how the patient's reserve forces are responding to the need.

The great value of this knowledge is seen in a most striking way when the possibility of a surgical operation is under consideration. Some mention was made the other day of the disposition of cases appealed from the judgments of the city court to the superior court. These cases have usually been those of persons convicted of intoxication while driving cars. Many of these cases, if the appellants were of some standing in the community, and eould employ competent lawyers, were not disposed of at all, so far as the public was informed. They vanished into thin air.

We have heard no recent complaint of such mysterious disappearances, but at one time it was explained that there was some missing cog in the legaj machinery that made it difficult successfully to prosecute cases of this kind which were taken up on appeal. If there is such a missing cog or any other defect in the machinery, there should be repairs or readjustment which would enable it to operate on every drunken driver. The Community Che ft army has been demobilized. The victory has been achieved. The enemy was routed, the most of him captured.

A few stragglers have made their escape but they will be rounded up by scouts and brought into camp and put where they belong, into the Community Chest. At any rate, it is as certain that the Chest will be filled, as if it were Si-ready filled. The campaign produced $17,000 more for charitable and welfare work than had ever before been collected at the beginning of a year. The campaign has been not only successful but has been quickly prosecuted and the response of the people to it was creditable to Phoenix as a whole. At no time was it allowed to drag.

Special credit is due the campaigners for the success of this effort. They were men and women of affairs who gave uiirtintedly of their time and energy. He: Whashmatter? You've been drinking.

So it is well to remember that of you have a loved one ill, with an operation perhaps necessary, and the symptoms and signs do not appear to be serious, but the doctor tlls you that the white blood count has greatly increased and he thinks operation neressary do not let your own ideas on the matter outweigh the significance of this very valuable finding.

We supposed that was settled long ago, for Rurdick in "The Ijaw of the American Constitution," referring to the ease of Thompson vs.

Utah, in 1SP5, says "A person accused of erime may rot waive a jury trial in the case of any serious offense where the penalty would be deprivation of life or liberty." This does not apply to petty offenses and evidently it was not the intention of the constitution to regard them as "crimes." The original draft of the Third Article was, "The trial of all criminal offenses shall be by jury." But offenses" was charged to "crimes." The distinction, however, is not made between crimes and misdemeanors for defendants charged with the latter may demand a jury trial and apparently may waive one. Under the constitution a defendant in an impeachment case cannot have a jury trial and it has been held by the supreme court that the jury is not available to persons sued for penalties, to aliens in summary proceedings for their deportation, and to defendants in contempt cases. The states, though, in the last named cases may require trial by jury and our own state provides for trial by jury when the contempt with which the defendant is charged is not committed in the presence of the court. Q. What is the origin of the sic- presston, skeleton in the closet? E.

M. B. A. The precise origin of the phrase is not known. It is supposed to have originated with a college professor who secretly conducted investigations In anatomy, and for this purpose keeping a skeleton concealed, since public opinion at that time was opposed to any desecration of a dead body.
