THE LAST WORD

FTom the Philadelphia Ledger)
 What is the last word in the Eng fish tongue? The compilers of the monumental dictionary begun in 1884 by Murray and the English PhiIologf- cal Society have decided that for the present, at any rate. it is ''zyzt" This, it seems. is a kentish dialect word coming down from the fourteenth dictionary goes back to 1900 A. D.
 You never can tell what the scien4- ists will do to a, language Whenever there is a new science or when there are new phases of an old science 2 family of unfamiliar words clauors for admission to the word-books For 2 long time the photographers were content to quit and be paid off when hey had reached a group of terms such as "zyrnology'' and '-zymurgyr-I that have to do with the science of fermentation
 Then along came somebody with a genus of Indian dragon-f1y as a. claim ant for final honors, and all the other words in the dictionary had to rise |@A PA%~$O 1tio I1idhe ODelSanCe before the brilliant intruder-''zyxomma
 Now that the Oxford philologians have made this hitherto conclusive insect bite the dust, there will bel struggles of various arts and sciences to go the archiac Kentish fnterloper one better. What business has the fourteenth century to come ~hornine ln' on the twentieth, anyway? How can we hope to jazz up the language to suit the fapper and the tired bus1- ness man if we have to harlz back to <he obsolescent locution of the cen tury of Godfrey Chaucer? ..zyzt" is Q heather word, anyway. It is m word fit to bring up the rear of a long and glittering cavalcade of language It is a poor fish to bring up from the bottom of a well of English undefiIed It sound like the preliminary hiss of a bottle of ginger ale Such a word has no right to x-zyt

HALL
 TAXES BRIDE

A wedding of great frcal interest took place in St. Augustines church at 2:30 o'clock vest erday afternoon, when Miss Nell O'Rourke, daughter of the late MT. and Mrs. Patrick OROurl1e, of Fulton street, became the bride of Captain Peter H. Hall, of the Bridgeport Police Department. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Fitsimmons, of New London, assisted by Rev. J. B. Nfhil, and the marriage came as a great surprise to friends of both the bride and bride- groom.
 Captain Hall, who is probably one of the best known men in Bridge- port, is one of the oldest and most popular members of the police force. He was appointed a regular patrol man on Ju1E 3, 1893, and for many years was a member of the Detective Bureau. He was made a captain on February 10, 1920, and since that time has been fin charge of the First and Third precincts. Captain Hall Is commanding the Third precinct at the present time.

NO FOREIGN TRADE
 ASSERTS REDFTELD
(Continued from Page One.) one of MT. Redfie1dS more stril

Some of MT. Redfields more striking statements were as follows:
 Does the trouble that sadly affects our southern states originate at home? Is it because American mills cannot consume our cotton that the warehouses of the south are choked and there is serious thought of re- ducing this. years crop area? Do- mestic facts have, of course, a partial bearing on the matter but only a par tial one- The ultimate reason for the decline in cotton lies in the ina bility of the great mills of Europe to cOl <ume, and passes on a step be yond them to the inability of those to whom in turn they look to buy their product. So the poverty of the peasant an Souhea stern Europe or in other and more distant lands is re- fected in the partial idfeneSs of Ger man, French and English cotton mills and reacts through them into the planters home in Georgia and through him to the negro hands upon his es- tate.
 Men like to think their country is ln6ependent, not merely politically, but dn the economic sense that it stands so firmly on a rock of justified and complete self-reliance that it may care little how the rest of the world wags because it's withers are unwrung. Curious evidences appear at times of the existence of a mental vacuum in whose empty spaces empty ideas find a brief though sometimes conspicuous life. So said the Sena- tor, 'FWhat have we got to do with abroad?" So asked a Representatice "Why do we do this foreign trade ?' 'tWhy don't we trade with ourselves alone?". So said the man in the street, "The United States can get along without the aid of any other country" Yet we should have been hard pressed to provide the luncheon which has just been enjoyed had the United States been isolated from oth- CT lands.
 Some of YOU doubtless came in your automobiles, unconsciouSly using tires of Sumatra rubber and Egyptian cotton on pavementS of South Ameri- can asphalt. One takes from his pocket a lead pencil having a small rubber eraser at the end in a tin socket. The rubber is not American, tho tin is not American, the graphite forming the lead probably came from Ceylon. If We undertake to make so simple a thing as a tin can we must send to South America or Asia for the tin, manufacture the sheet steel in North America, and send to Africa for palm oil in which to dip the sheets that the tin may adhere to it.
 There are, of course common places of industry. Many others will suggest them selves to you. They are here cited to indicate that the world is one and that in our complex mod ern lives we draw upon it con stantly and so widely that we forget the inter-relationS of life"

 Testimony in a suit involving some of the actions of the man who was once the Crown Prince of Germany show that in the terrible days before verdun, when the eldest son of the ''yVar Lord'' was sending thousands of poor fellows to futile slaughter against the fortress, he was well be- hind the lines reveIIing and carousing with women of easy virtue and with his own worthless boon companions.
 That sort of thing was suspected at the time, and, indeed, more than merely hinted at by German prison CTS themselves So the world is fur nished with no surprise by the stories One feature is new, however. A wit ness said that the Crown Prince nam ed all his dogs after French generals.
 The intent of that was clear enough The Crown Prince in his heavy way cherished the idea that he was insulting the commanders of the enemy by bestowing their names up- on his canines. But he was not On the contrary, he was honoring both his dogs and the French generals The latter were gallant namesakes, while the former were loyal faithful friends. as all dogs are.

A STRAW FROM CHICAGO
(From the Evening World)

(From the Evening World)
 The Republican Party of Chicago represents Republicanism in about the same measure that the Democrat ic Party of New York represents democracy. So perhaps it is not jus ufiabIe to consider the repudiation of Republicanism in Chicago as a rebuke to Republican do-nothingism in Washington.
 But in the decisive defeat admin istered to Mayor Thcmpson's faction Monday the deciding power was cred tied to the vote of the women.
 In the November elections the women were more Republican than the men, They even swallowed Thompsonisn- If they have now turn ed on the Thompson candidates it is a hopeful indication of independence It should also be a warning to the President and Congress to deliver the goods or answer for results
 Every independent in politics is a menace to the party in power which fails to live up to it's pledges
