NEW WORDS FURNISH
FRESH BRAIN FOOD

Language is sometimes called the
instrument of thought. But a very
wise man says that really it is the
nutriment of thought: the atmos-
phere in which thought lives: a
medium as necessary to the activity
of our mental powers as air is to
the lungs.
Coleridge said that every new
term expressing a fact not previ-
ously defined was new organ Of
thought for the mind that has
learned it. To think new thoughts.
then, new words are necessary.
like food for the body, they become
food for the mind. and by the sub
tlest of all mental chemistry they
become transmitted into ideas.
How important, then, to learn
new words, that one may have new
ideas. Word study would certainty
beget wisdom, thought-power,
deed-energy. Our New Universities
Dictionary would supply you with
new words for years. Get a copy
with our coupons and watch your
brain become stronger, your mind
more alert and powerful, your Ian
guage more expressive and elo-
quent. .. e..

BILL
G0EST0 HOUSE
Judiciary Committee Urges
Reorganizing U. S.
Bureaus.

REORGANIZATION of the govern
ment departments by a joint con-
gressional committee. is provided
in a resolution reported favorably
TO the House yesterday by the
House judiciary Committee This
measure is similar to the Smoot
resolution, passed by the Senate
Monday.
The resolution was amended by
the Judiciary Committee to provide
for a final report by the proposed
joint committee to be made not
later than the second Monday in
December, 1922.
1T Is a matter of common knowl-
edge" declared the Judiciary Com
mittee in a report accompanying the
bill. that millions of dollars are
wasted by the government by the
almost endless duplication of activI-
ties.
There has been no fundamental
change in the administrative activi-
ties since the organization was de-
vised by Alexander Hamilton"
While nothing was said in the re-
port in regard to the national bud
get system. 1t has been stated many
times by proponents of the resolu-
tion that it was the necessary fol-
-low-up on the budget.
The bill creating the budget sys-
tenn has passed both houses and is
now in conference.

MURDER CLUE
Detectives Unable to Iden-
tify Body Found op
Bay Shore.

Identification of the body OF the
man found on the shore of Chesa-
peake Bay, mile north of Chesa-
peake Beach. Saturday morning re-
mains mystery.
Detective Sergeant Ed Kelley Of
the Washington police continued his
efforts to identify the man yester-
day to no avail. A picture of the
body and piece Of the goods of
his coat. which bore the name of a
local firm. were shown to oficers
of the clothing store yesterday.
They said they remembered a man.
answering the likeness of the
shown, purchasing a
coat similar TO the goods shown
about seven months ago. officers of
the clothing store said. however.
that the purchaser was a stranger
and had not been seen by them be-
fore or since.
\Sergt. Kelley says that attempts
to- locate the supposed murderers
who were known to have deposited
the body with two bullet wounds in
the head on the shore are futile un-
til identification is made and a mo-
tive for murder established.
The man is described as being
about so years old. flve feet, nine
and one-half inches tall and about
130 pounds in weight. He had dark
brown hair, mustache and beard.
