SAYS "PEP" IS
 GOOD WORD TO
 KEEP WITH US

Madison, Wis, Feb. 26.-That the slang and idioms of today will be correct English tomorrow is the opin- ion of Prof. H. G1icksman of the Eng- fish department, University of Wis consin.
 "Our language is made up of what was once slang, idforn, co11oquiaIisn and jargon,'' he said, and warned that the only deplorable feature about slang was it's tendency to produce mental s1ovenIiness.
 Prof. Glicksman then referred to the word "rnob'' as slang of 200 years ago and denounced in t"The Specta- tor'' by Addison.
 "It is an abbreviation of the word mobile. Even so the word pep is vital and virile and will survive with the word 'snappy'. But to gain recog- milton slang must be free from vul- garity and cheapness,'' said Prof. | Glicksman.
 1 'HThe tern How do you get that way?' is condemned because it is meaningless, but the term he has a l pull is approved as it is the opposite | of push a word that has forged ] ahead through it's own strength

SOVIETS AMUSED OVER TALES OF
 ALLEGED CRUELTY

Amsterdam, Feb. 26.-The Soviet peasants and soldiers were greatly amused over the stories told abroad of their cruelty, says the staff cor respondent of the HandeIsblad, G. Nypels, in continuing his descrip- ton of conditions in Soviet Russia, from which he has just returned. While not going into the truth of the various tales of cruelty, which have been related, yet Bolshevists he says, ridicule all these reports which have been spread abroad.
 In the course of a trip aboard a Bolshevik armored train from Kroe- pike, near the Polish front, to Orsha, with Bolshevik officers, the cores pondent was asked many questions regarding the reports about them.
 We were drinking ersaz (iu1ita- tion) tea, sitting around a nice little table," the correspondent said, land I had to tell the Bolsheviks what people abroad thought of the Red army.
 "They asked if it was true that mothers frightened their children with the name "Bolshevik." "Af~ my frank answer that this l was about so, one long, sinister com i missar, apparently pure stock hater of the capitalists, looked more l and more dreadful, but the others l could not stop laughing. They made me explain very carefully their al l legged crue1ties, and stories about al 1 legged communized women, and ot men who were slaughtered ano 1 eaten. These made them choke theil laughter. Soldiers who heard it weni i to other parties and told their com
 rades, who liked it just as much i In the officers mess at this place a strange gathering of former officer of the Car and of new, 'siniste
 commissars,'' the corresponden
 found that the half witted servan
 had been given the nickname o
 'fKoIchak'' and there were roars o
 laughter as ''Kolchak'' was ordere'

NEW DISTRESS SIGNAL GAINS
 GREAT PRAISE

London, Feb. 26-A novel wireless emergency calling device by which ships in distress can ring alarm bells on other ships within wireless range, reported by the American Chamber of Commerce in London.
 TT } present wireless system of communication requires that, an oper- ator to hear a call must be duty, wearing Nhe usual telephone head piece. The new device is said to en- able any station or ship equipped with a special automatic rransmitter key to call up any station or ship within range, fitted with a corresponding se- 1ective receiver relay, even if the op- orator is absent. The calling up, ac- cording to the American Chamber, is effected by bell which starts ring ing on the ships called
 It is claimed that one of the most important uses of the devices will be to ensure immediate and general at- tention to s. O. s. calls.

CHORUS GIRLS PLACE BAN ON
 LACE NICHTIES
Endeavor to Reduce H. I. L.. By Forming Unique
 Club

No more diaphanous t'nighties," l no more aIluring lingerie of any kind i for the members of the Irene Thrift Club, which the sixteen chorus girls now appearing in the musical comedy at the Vanderbilt Theatre have adopted to reduce the high cost of living not only for themselves but for such other wage earning women as can be influenced by the propaganda soon to be launched by this organ ization.
 Under the leadership of the Hon orable Miss Helen Scott-Montague. who, though the daughter of a Brit ish peer, has to earn her living like any one of her fifteen associates, the Irene girls have pledged themselves to buy no more foolish 'undies," but to substitute instead the coarse, prac- ticaI and enduring unbleached muslin garments of our grandmothers' days.
 Nowhere else in the world do wage earning, or for that matter any other kind of women, wear such fool ish and senseless underwear" said Miss Montague. Garments of a style which in England and France are re- served by gentlewomen only for dressup occasions are worn in this country quite as a matter of course on all occasions
 Here the Honorable Miss Montague smiled reminiscently. 'I wish they could have had glimpse at some of the underwear affected by certain great ladies of the British nobility whom I have known since my child hood" she continued. "If they had, 1 they would want to join our, Irene Thrift Club immediately, or else form a similar club of their own. The old Duchess of Portland, the Ba- roness Burdette-Coutts, the Duchess of Devonshire, the Duchess of | Buc1eugh and the Countess of Angle | sea, to mention only a few of the | friends of my paterna1 grandmother, | the Dowager Lady Montague of l Beaulieu, were all brought up on un- 1 bIeached muslin underwear as I hap pen to know, and what is true of them is true of my own grand mothers on both sides of the house, and true also of practically the wo- men of entire British nobility. It is
 only the present generation of well | ed from this tradition, and it is safe
 to say that we will soon have re-
 version to the older order as a re-
 suit of the economic revolution
 brought about by the recent war.
 tFWe of the Thrift Club will try to
 emulate the example of my distin-
 guished countrywomen, and so we
 have pledged ourselves to shut ouI
 eyes to all the enticement of dainty underwear for any and all occasions
 except that of our work on the stage

GIVE STIMULATION TO GENIUS
Toxins Manufactured In Mans Own
System Powerfully Affect the
Associative Faculties.

Genius is question Of sensitiza-
tion of protoplasm-it goes back to
physical fact. And the foundation Of
the greatest cathedral of beauty ever
erected by the mind of genius rests
squarely upon the flesh of a mans
body, writes jeanette Marks in the
Yale Review Sensitized protoplasm
vibrates in answer to outside impress
sions, with concentric waves of vary
ing diameter. The stimulated, sensi-
tized protoplasm sets the associative
faculties to work, and the bigger this
associative faculty. the bigger the
genius. 1t is just here in the morbid
stimulation of protoplasm that tox-
ms, drugs, alcohol, enter in. Disorder
reigns supreme, chaos, noise, nervous
ness near-madness, through the slim
illus of some toxins manufactured in
a mans own system. Tea, coffee,
drugs, alcohol, seem temporarily at
least to put the mental furniture in
order, to bring harmony where there
has been disorder Opium is not
genius. Madness is not genius. But
both would sometimes appear to have
the power to act as umpire for genius
where its right to go forward is in
question. And it would seem that
the purchasing power in dreams was
even greater in insanity than with
either alcohol or opium.

USED TOBACCO AS INCENSE
They Burned the Fragrant Weed"
to Their Gcds

Smoking was habit acquired by
European nations from the Indians
of America. In 1902 Columbus found
them using tobacco, not as is now
done, but us an incense burned in
honor of their deity
Tobacco smoking began as re-
ligious rite Tobacco was used by the
Indians much as oriental nations made
use of myrrh or frankincence in their
religious observances. Voyagers to
America after Columbus revealed diff
ferent customs in the tobacco habit.
1t was discovered that in certain parts
of the continent the natives inhaled
the incense until they became eShil-
arated or even intoxicated by the
fumes. This meant for them that they
derived inspiration from the good
pleasure of their deity. The honor
paid to the deity came back upon them
in eXhilarating profusion.
From that step was not far to as
certain that incense offered to god
could be employed as a medicine. 1t
was drawn into the mouth through a
hollow tube-a kind of pipe-and
then expelled as smoking. To the ra-
tionalizing European it was left to
transmit the poor Indians worship into
an ordinary pleasurable habit.
