Over 1000 Languages Now;
May Be Only Four Century
Hence, Authorities Think

If you are asked how many Ian
guages there are in the world, can
you give anything like an accurate
answer? The average persons knowl-
edge or ability to speak languages
rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph, when visiting a Red Cross hos
pital, spoke with the patients in their
w languages, which showed that the
aged emperor was a master of six.
1t may appear strange, but it Is
nevertheless true, says an exchange,
that there are over 1000 languages
spoken by mankind, while the number
of dialects exceeds this. There are
more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil,
and in Mexico the Nahua is broken up
into some 700 dialects. There are hun
dreds in Borneo, while il Australia
there is no classifying the complex
ties. Assuming that 30 dialects, on
an average, belong to each language.
gives the colossal total of a quarter
of a million linguistic abilities.
Some authorities think that a CEN
lulJ ucLlSe thtIt VIII DS Only lOuL luu-
guages of Importance in the world.
Central Europe may produce a newer
and more straightforward German Ian
guage, imperial English may reign
alone owe the North American CONT
nent, and a more businesslike Spanish
will be used in South American states,
while Russian may take on some more
| ri0h SInunnin 6ioTnot which will blond
the races of eastern Europe and CEN
trail Asia into a harmonious fedora
ton. SO that in the future these four
languages will enter into what may be
a never-ending competition.

Heroine of the Serbian P,+'eGelds
By C. Kay Spencer

II was in the decisive assaults on
the highest crest of Hill No. 1912 that
Miss Sands active career vas sud-
denly cut short. How this happened
let her relate in her own words:
1--WE had been crouching in our
shallow pits for hours, waiting i'm
patiently for the order to attack. At
seven o'clock in the morning the or
der came. 1t was showing and the
snow lay on the ground. 1 was out
of my pit in half a second, and run
ming as fast as my legs would move.
| am always the first to leave cover.
1t is my duty as a non-commissioned
officer. But, unfortunately, | am not
so ninble as most of my men. So it
happens that am generally among
he last to reach an enemy trench.
Well, l had nearly reached the brink
of the Bulgarian trench in which our
men were already at grips with the
defenders. l was one of a small group
of neutrality-suspicious. half a dozen
when a well aimed grenade fell in our
midst. A couple of men besides my
sell were Ill the raQluS OF ITS eXplO-
sion and fell wounded, but l seem to
have got most of the scatter"
So this Amazon tells her story.
Simple it is and self-denying, for a
number of her brother officers have
stories to tell of the engagement
which considerably elaborate upon her
terse recital.
In the military hospital of Camp No.
Al she was the only patient of her
sex. The camp had accommodation
for sixteen hundred sick or wounded,
and there is a heavy percentage Of
women among the Serbian armies.
A few days after her admittance
into the hospital a royal aide de camp
came to her bedside and, on behalf of
the prince regent of Serbia, pinned to
ner breast, with much ceremonial, the
gold and silver cross of Kara-George-
a rare badge that Is given only for
conspicuous bravery on the field of
battle.

Country to See Greatest
Athletic Activity During
The Next Twelve Months

DR.. Joseph e. Raycroft, director of
the department of physical science at
Princeton, predicts a veal of unusual
athletic activity among the army train
ing camps. He says: 'There will be
more real and widespread athletic ac-
tivity in this country during the next
twelve months than ever before in our
lifetime"
Doctor Raycroft is a member of the
ing camp activities.
'That the colleges have abandoned
athletics is entirely a false notion that
has attained too general circulation
and acceptance" says Doctor Raycroft.
'"The colleges have not and will not
abandon athletics; what some of them
did abandon was intercollegiate COM
petition.
Take Princeton, for example. OF
our student body of some 1000 young
men, nearly 800 promptly enlisted for
war service and at mt began training
for it. 1t left them neither time nor
opportunity to engage in competition
Will OLncI COllCSC aLhlCtCS, dho VIC
therefore made a virtue of necessity"
Doctor Raycroft disagrees with the
popular notion that American expert
ness in baseball throwing will prove
a distinct advantage in the hurting of
bombs. Trench experience, he states,
has demonstrated that the most effec-
tive results with those deadly little
missiles is obtained by a forward and
thrusting throw, as in shot-putting OF
the short-armed bowling throw which
prevails in cricket. Information OBJ
tanned from those who have had ex-
p~erience with bombs and grenades on
the battlefields and in the Canadian
camps indicate that the free overland
baseball throw is too prone to over
shoot the mark to be of such pro-
nounced advantage, as most Americans
have fancied must prove the case.
Practically every branch of sport
will be encouraged In the training
camps, but it is probable that boxing
will play a leading part.

One OF the bitterest contests chron-
icled dnriag the great war has for Its
setting that bleak region surrounding
Serbian campaigns to defend their lit
tie country from the Teuton octopus.
Ii the Serbian ranks were many
heroic women who dressed like the
mef and fought as unselfishly. But
we nre to tell about a little woman
a Scot-wl4o exiled herself from her
native hills of old Scotland to march
Over hard frozen ground powdered
with wind-driven snow on the hills of
Serbia.
Her claim to fame would very prob
ably have never been differentiated
from that of many another woman
ltrudging in the Serbian ranks had
she not been cast by fate into a mill
'tary hospital maintained by the Brit
sh on that front.
! In the carly winter that saw the
beginning OF the drives which pushed
the bulgaro-Germans back to the
mountain known as Hill No. 1912, this
little oCOiCil" Oiildu was CdI leu W lliC
base hospital with her whole right
side, from the shoulder to the knee, a
mass of torn flesh and shattered bone.
Miss Flora Sands-for that is the
name of this intrepid Scotswoman-
began working in Serbia as a Red
Gross nurse early in the war. Her
sympathy became so aroused by the
sufferings and heroism Of the people
that, when the hospital units were
broken up during the great retreat of
October and November, 1915, she So
llcited and obtained permission to en-
list as a private soldier in the rear
guard that protected the retreating
army. Before that army reached the
Adriatic she had won promotion. Be

In the regard of both officers and

the arduOus and successful campaign
that began on September II.

Onions for Colds.

The efficiency of onions is well
known to the singers of Italy and
Spain, who eat them every day to i'm
prove the quality of their voices.
Onion plasters are prescribed to
break up hard colds. They are made
of fried onions placed between two
pieces of muslin. The plaster is kept
quite hot until the patient is snugly in
bed. Then it is placed on the chest to
stay over night. Onion sirup is said by
some TO he%Nunequaled as n cure for u
md cold on the chest.
