Are you a Communism" asked
him, point-blank.
No" The answer came like an
explosion. Had 1 probed at my first
attempt the sore point in his heart?
Are you in favor of the Soviet
regime?"
II have said I am not a Commun-

for Sovietism is Communism"
Yet you are a collaboration with
them-with the Soviets?''
Yes. 1 am director of one of their
foundations. Do not go away with
the idea that the Soviet government
has not good theories and ideas of
an intellectual order. 1t has. Men
who are carrying out the Sovier
schemes are the intellectuals of
Russia. That should be remembered.
IF the Soviets carried out moth

ferring an everlasting benefit on all
the peoples of the world.
In all affairs of art, literature
and education the Soviets have an
Cnrivaled audacity. They are for
ever seeking a millennium. In GER

finding il.
Doctors will tell you that IN all
directions the Soviets are aiming at
social hygiene of the very highest
order. They are undertaking vast
works in the interest of public
health.
You understand; 1 can make no

THE GIRL DODGER" A BRILLIANT COMEDY
 AT LIBERTY SUNDAY

Charles Ray is always a headliner in any of the first class houses that show his productions He seems to put his whole soul into playing his parts and in this production, ''The Girl Dodger," which will be shown at the Liberty Theatre on Sunday and Monday nights, he is no exception to the rule.
 The action of the play takes place when the two boys who are at college and are the very extremes of students. one of which Ray takes the part, a very studious young man, who is wrapped up in his books and the other. Hal Cooley, who is "a very happy-go-lucky sort of boy who if he misses a few examina- ti"ns, says: T should worry, and goes off to another party.
 Ray, upon whom most of the ac- tion falls. is humorous to the ex- trene, and when his roommate sud donly demands that he entertain a chorus girl with whom he has an engagement for dinner, but is un- able to fill it as he is suddenly sum- noned to dine with his mother and iiancee, agrees to change places for the evening only, fills the bill very completely

our language is made up of what

the only deplorable feature about
slang was its tendency to produce
mental slovenliness.
Prof. Glicksman then referred to
the word "mob' a slang of 200 years
ago and denounced in The Spectator
by Addison.
''It is an abbreviation of the word
'moile.' Even so the word pep'is vi
tai and virile and will survive with the
word 'snappy.' But to gain recogni-
ton slang must be free from vulgar
ity and cheapness," said Glicksman.
"The term How do you get that
way?' is condemned because it is
meaningless but the term 'he has pull
