SLANG |S HANDY
 T0 PERMIT 0NE
 TO 'SAY THINGS
Now Found Regularly in Dictionaries, Teacher of English Says Such Words Have Their Uses on Oc- casions

With the latest dictionaries chasing words of the street" with high brow stuff it is being admitted by even conservative instructors of Eng fish that slang is now part of the English language. Slang has become officially recognized and the popular words defined just as though they had been handed down from the days of Shakespeare.
 Not listed in a separate section en- titled "Definition of Slang Words" as in the past, but included in the dic- tionary proper, the words boob, fat head have the same standing as any other words with generations back of them.
 w. N. Garlick. head of the English department of the local high school, takes kindly to the coined words that so ably helped an American to express his real feelings.
 Force All Its Own There's a force to slang, and in it's use one is often able to rip it in ef- fectively. A public speaker cannot afford to ignore slang" declared the high school instructor who took a special course in English at Stanford University last summer. Slang is the expression of the hour and there if a definite need for it. Take, for instance, up against it. which has a distinct figurative mean ing and certain other words and phrases equally picturesque which have come to be accepted. Usage has given us many new and expressive words, and before we know it, there will be many others in our language" tIA NJ l.- acceptance of slang, he does not by any means advocate all the words that are being used by this generation. He word will ever come into existence in our language.
 Slang, Old and New American is not the only slang that ! has been annexed in the dictionaries Many of the words coined by the Tommies and the Poilus in the trenches have been seized and Ameri- canized.
 For instance a blimp is actually a blimp. It has been adopted, accord ing to the dictionary as the official title for 'an observation balloon" IB the past if nurse heard little Charles point to the sky and cry excitedly: Look ut tn blimp," she would have echoed severely "balloon.' Such an echo now would be display of ig- norance.
 To quote the dictionary: "Blimp | (blimp), h., an observation balloon"
 And here is list of few more:
 'Barleycorn, John Gon), H., hu- morous name. for whiskey.'
 "Cootie, Ckoo-tD, h., the trench louse. (Formerly English slang.)
 "Whizz- bang (whiz- -bang), n. any medium sized. high-explosive German shell. Larger shells are crumps; smaller, pip-s -squeaks."
 "Gin-mill Cjin-milD, h., barroom. "
 "Gippo 0ipo). n., soup, bacon grease"
 | There are hundreds of others, too.

clergymen will make appropriate ref erences to Roosevelt and the memorial campaign at the services Sunday. The Y. M. c. A. has arranged for a special Roosevelt memorial gathering at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. when Capt. Alexander will speak. This program will include several musical numbers, E. D. Miller, of the Y, who has charge of the meeting, announced that the public is invited.
 The appeal to the ranchers by Capt. Alexander, chairman of Maricopa county, which should reach all the water users today, it is anticipated will bring large results as the memorial to Roosevelt has special relation to the people of this valley. Text of the letter sent the water users follows:
 If there had been no Roosevelt there would have been no Roosevelt reservoir-not in this generation al any event Had it not been for his help, the reclamation act would have been applied only to the uncultivateo plains then in government ownership Thus it comes that the Salt River valley should feel an especial pride ir joining in the grand memorial the na- tion is to provide in memory of The pitdA anu lOi PcI DcludllOL of his patriotic principles.
 "We need the Roosevelt principles of government applied right now-ir this day of attack by anarchy upon tho constitutional rights of the large ma jority. There can be no division ot righteous judgment on this point and in it's declaration there is no partisan ship.
 You are asked to join the mem bership of the Roosevelt Memorial as Sociation. We are assured of the heartiest cooperation from the people of Maricopa county and feel that there is needed only an opportunity for 2 subscription from everyone"
 The people of this valley should revere the memory of Roosevelt an( hold his name in grateful and cheer full remembrance, said B. E. Mark: at the Elks theater last night. "Tht wonderful work accomplished through reclamation of arid lands" MT. Mark: continued should mean more to us as we look about us than to anyone anywhere else"
 A good-sized audience was presen at the performance of "A Small Tow1 Girl" at the Elks theater last nigh ! ani thereby aided in the Roosevel Memorial fund as Brandon Brothers the managers, had donated 20 per cen of the receipts to that fund.
 MT. Marks spoke at the conclusion of the prologue. He brought out tn, idea that Roosevelt's ardent American. ism may stand us in good stead jus now, in the after-war crisis whici confronts the nation. Quoting tn, Rooseveltian idea of having but on, flag, and that the flag of America, on, language and that the language O the Declaration of Independence, ant one loyalty the loyalty of a tru' American.

ELOQUENT SERMON ON
NATIVITY BY FIR. PHELAN

sorbed in God In that blessed Sc
rene silence at dead of night, is born
in the cold a Babe, that holds out its
tiny, trembling hands to the virgin,
and silently Graves the cares and car
esses that only a mother can give.
The mother gazes upon Him, kneels
before Him. adores Him; folds Him in
her arms, nestles Him to her bosom,
and with eyes filled with joy and tears,
presents Him to Joseph, who wraps
Him in swaddling clothes and places
Him in a manger. All this We are told
bv the gospel in these words: And
she brought forth her frstbOrn son,
and wrapped Him in swaddling
clothes. and laid Him in a manger,
because there was no room for Him in
the inn" And so, nineteen hundred
wears ago, there came into this world
Man. whose life of three and thirty
wears. is the chief event in the world
history and whether we think of it or
NOT. whether we believe it or not the
chief event in the history here and
hereafter of every one of us.
SHEPHERDS OF BETHLEHEM
Not far from Bethlehem, and lying
at the foot of the hill on which the
little city stands, is a field into which
+bo sbenberds of the neighbOrhOOd led
tLeir flocks at evening. All day the
sheen roamed in safety on the hlllsldes

Of winter. A company of shepherds
was watching in this field when Mary
and Joseph took refuge IN the cave
and at night, "Behold an angel OF tne
Lord stood by them, and the bright

and thev feared with a great fear.
And the ANGEL said to them, Fear

way to heaven, and to show us by the
best of all means, namely, by example.
1t cost Him great deal to teach us,
but He never thought of cost. And
so lie began at once the very night He
was born, to teach us the value of pow
erty, and TO comfort the poor, and we
who have comfortable homes and plea
sures in plenty, should learn to honor
the poor who are most like Him, and
to help them when We can. And nov
we see why the shepherds were called
first to the cave on that Christmas
night of long ago.
GLORY TO GOD
Finally the gospel tells us, that
when the angel was discoursing to the
shepherds, n multitude of other angels
joined him and together they sang
their paens of praise, "Glory to God
in the highest, and peace on earth to
men of good will. - Glory and peace,
glory to God in heaven; peace to men
on earth. And this is one of the les
sons we ought to learn on Christmas
day-Glory to God and peace to men.
And why glory to GOda Because now
the gates of heaven are open, and men,
reconciled to God and remade accord
ing to His image, will enter in there,
and the tongues that exalt and sing
His praises viii be multiplied. Peace
to men on earth, because the Divine
Master has appeared in their midst,
because the Victim of their transgres-
sions is prepared, and has commenced
the sacrifice that later on will be con
summated on Calvary. That which
brings peace to men glorifes God, and
that which glorifes God brings peace
to men. Today, from the heights of
heaven, God sees an innocent Son born
on earth-a Son holy and spotless,
equal to himself, to whom he can and
must say: "Thou art my beloved
Son, in Thee do / find all my delight
Today from the heights of heaven,
God sees His only begotten Son clad
in the vesturc of our manhood and in
embracing Him He cannot but en-
brace all His brothers according to the
flesh, and therefore there is peace be-
tween heaven and earth, between God |
and man. Glory then, to God in the |
highest, and on earth, peace to men.
