ON ITS WAY TO SCRAP HEAP
Dialect Known as "PennsyiVania Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to Be a
 Thing of the Past.

"Pennsylvania DutCh," that curious combination of German, English and Yankee, which since Revolutionary times has developed in parts of Penn sylvania aNd Ohio. is going into the discard. For more than a century 1t has been growing just as languages always grow, with use. It has cor rupted words, made words, created forms, one might say grammar of its own. It has not, it is true, pro- duced literature. But it has been the speech of a considerable number of persons in their homes. It long since ceased to be recognizable as German and English 1t never was. In 1t, stu dents tell us, are mingled German, English, Welsh, French and even Gae. lie words.
 Pennsylvania Dutch" has been the dialect of those German disciples of Peter Memo who came to America, some of them in pre-Revolution days, seeking religious liberty and political AACGuOlhs COlliG OI lIC0C hCIL lhlO Ohio during Revolution days, others In. to Canada, some as late as Civil war days. Their religious beliefs contrib. uted to isolation. And they were large ly an agricultural people.
 Now the word has gone forth among the Mennonites that 1t is no longer patriotic to speak Pennsylvania Dutch," and as fast and as thoroughly as possible these unbelievers In WET are discarding the speech of childhood and home associations. The task is not an impossible one to them, since all or nearly all of them have had some ex' perlence in the common schools. From among them 5000 young men nave gone overseas to fight the oppressors of their ancestors and the barbarians who threaten their own liberties.
 The banning. of "Pennsylvania Dutch" is an impressive object lesson to all Americans. Let's all resolve to speak English.-Detroit Free Press.

 That such is the case has been con- clusively proven by scientific research. Prof. Unna, the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandrufr is the burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused by parasites destroying the vitality In the hair bulb. The hair becomes llfeless. and, in time, falls out. This can be pre- vented.
