FAULT WITH THE DICTIONARY.
Senator Penrose criticises the PIE
thora of New Words.

at is no longer an honor for a word
to have place in dictionary" said
United States Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania the other day, while dis
cussing the evolution of the English
language with party Of visiting pro-
fessors. Dictionary publishers seem
to have only one thing in mind these
days in compiling editions Of Web
ster. They all vie with each other
to collect the largest number of words.
They are not only satisfied to go out
into the highways and byways Of lit
erature to collect all the MANNED and
halt and obsolete words that they can
find, to stuff the language list, but
they penetrate into the slums and
round up what they seem to consider a
choice collection OF slang words. II
Smiths dictionary can claim that 1t
contains thousand more words than
any other dictionary, its superiority
is supposed to be established, until
Brown brings out new dictionary
containing 900 words more than can be
found in Smiths great work. The re-
suit of this method of dictionary max
ing is that a dictionary is no longer
of the slightest use in determining the
question whether any given word is
good English or not. In the opinion
of the dictionary makers all words are
born free and equal, and are entitled
to be used by anybody. The barrier
between what is English and what is
simply slang has been swept away,
and there is no longer any authority
which tells us what words we may
use and what we may shun."

MANY ODD CORNERS
SOME OF THE LITTLE KNOWN
ROOMS in THE CAPITOL.
Great Building Is World in Itself
and Able to Supply Its Own
Needs-LittIe Cells Used
as Offices.

The more one finds out about the
capitol at Washington the more one
realizes that no other building in this
country approaches it in interest.
There are other buildings which are
big or beautiful or historic. But for
size, beauty and constantly growing
historical Importance, all rolled to-
gether, the grand old capitol sits SUI
preme.
ANY one who has tried to find out
things about the building has had con-
vincing proof of its complexity. The
number of things which any one Of
fetal does know about it is surpassed
only by the number of things he does
not know. The place is labyrinth in
more ways than one.
There are out of the way corners,
queer little rooms, winding stairs,
dusty attics, and a vast underworld
Of which even the congressman them
selves never dream. As for the tour
list, he gets crick in the back of his
neck by taking grounding view Of
the dome, acquires another crick-this
time in his artistic perception-by
viewing some of the ornaments of
Statuary hall, plunks himself-though
1t Is generally herself-into the vice
presidents chair, if the gentleman
himself is absent, and gulps a few
facts about Uncle Joe's domain in the
house. But there are volumes of
history and acres of space which he
does not suspect, much less inspect.
There are over 43o rooms in the
capitol. They range in size from the
hall of the house of representatives,
which is 139 by SO feet, to mere scraps
of rooms hardly large enough to hold
q table and couple of chairs.
Some of these little rooms are prac-
tically within the great walls which
form the foundations of the rotunda.
They are mere cells, circular in shape,
but have served nevertheless as the
private Offices Of congressman.
Just what will be done with them
now that the representatives have
their Offices in the new building is not

toll is so crowded that every inch of
space will be needed.
Another cubbyhole of importance is
just inside the entrance to the ground
door of the house wing. 1t is tucked
IN under the stairs, and probably not
one in hundred of those who pass
so close to it knows of it's existence
This is the key room. It is fitted
up with all the paraphernalia of a
locksmith's shop, that being precisely
what it is.
When in his absorption in the cares
of state a representative has left his
desk key in his other clothes, or has
lost it outright, the locksmith comes
to the rescue. He has complete sets
of duplicate keys not only for the
house desks but for committee rooms
as well.
If the emergency is only temporary
he opens the desk with a duplicate
key. II the original is actually lost
he makes another to take its place
As this service is entirely free per-
haps the congressman are more care
less than the ordinary individual who
has to pay for similar job At any
rate they do say that the locksmith
is one Of the busiest men in the
building.
