ESPERANTIST ON LANGUAGE.
Arthur Baker, Editor and Lecturer,
Says New Tongue Will Have
World-Sphere.

Arthur Baker, who as an Esper-
artist. editor and lecturer. Is making
a tour Of the entire west. was a visit
or in North Yakima Saturday and de-
livered a lecture in the evening before
a number Of men and women especi-
ally interested in the study Of the
language. During the day. he visit
ed a number of North Yakima BUSH
ness houses and discussed the use of
language and its possibilities.
In discussing the Esperanto IAN
guage, the editor of the Amerika Els
pernatiste of Chicago cited the fact
that the study of the language was
being scheduled in universities and
colleges of Europe, Asia and America
as showing the real interest that is
being taken. Various conventions
have been held, and In one, Editor
Baker heard the new language used
by men of 35 different nationalities
and he could understand each one OF
the speakers thoroughly.
That the language was being used
in Japan, in France, Germany, Eng
land, America, Brazil and Argentine
Republic and was being introduced in
China was the statement of the edi-
tor. In fact, he said, the officials of
Brazil and Argentine Republic were
sending out their booster" literature
in the new language, because the Els
peranto bears a similarity to all other
languages, although simpler than any
of them.
Only Two Months Study.
Two months study is sufficient for
anyone to learn the language, and
even few days it Is possible to learn
enough to read and to write. CONVEX
sation is slightly more difficult, but
easier than all present tongues.
Editor Baker claims that English is
not as much used in the world as
French, and that the English
language will never become universal
because of the opposition of the Ger
mans and French. He does not be-
lieve that French or German will ever
become universal, or that Spanish can
take the position. Therefore, he says
that the new language must take the
position, and that the efforts to bring
Esperanto into general use are bear
ing good results.
One of the novel features of the
Esperanto organization is that Esper-
anto consuls are located in all the
principal cities of Europe and Am
erica, so that when a man enters a
foreign city he can find some one to
talk to in a language he understands
and can secure advice, assistance and
information.

Football or any other popular game is

The neighborhood In which live,
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man,
IS divided into four main sections
namely: Yellow Hill. 5000, Big Cove
and Bfrdtown. The Indians living in
one Of these sections will challenge
those living in another to a game OF
ball. They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. 1t is generally
played In an open field far different
from the well-graded field upon which
the game OF football is played
The evening before the game the In
1ians, the women included, hold n
dance in their respective sections OF
the country. These dances are held in
the open air. usually near some small
stream. The women do the singing
while the men dance. In their songs
they make all kinds OF remarks about
thnse OF the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
the time OF the dances until after the
games the players are not allowed TO
eat any food
The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap-
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge OF the field. The ball players
each have two sticks similar to those
used in the game OF lacrosse. only
smaller. The ball is tossed up ia the
center OF the field and the game be-
gins. The object is to get # around
two poles placed at each end of the
Geld certain number of times. They
cannot pick up the ball in their hands.
The players who succeed In getting
the ball around the poles at the end
of the field the greatest number OF
times win the game.-Red Man Mag
