THE ALPHABET

The Tartarian alphabet is composed
of 202 letters.
The Bible in English print, re-
quires the use of 1856, 480 letters.
The Phoenician alphabet was an
alphabet of consonants only.
The letter is the most difficult
for an intoxicated person to pro-
nounce.
All known Greek alphabets agree
in employing a, e, /. o. and as
vowels.
The number of letters in the va
rious alphabets range from II in the
Hawaiian to PA in the Chinese.
In an ordinary book the last letter
of the English alphabet will be found
about twice in each 8 600 words.
The letter I in Chinese has 145
different pronunciations and each
pronunciation conveys a separate and
distinct meaning.
In the New English Dictionary no
less than thirteen different nuances
of vowel sounds are distinguished
under the symbol a alone.
The earliest alphabetic document
which can be dated with compare
tive certainty is the Moabite Stone,
discovered in 1868, which recounts
the achievements of Mesha, king of
Ahab, king of Israel, probably in the
ninth century before Christ. (Sec-

BOLIVAR PRAISE BRINGS
UP OLD CONTROVERSY

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, August 21.-When
President Harding said at the unvei,-
ing of the statue of Gen. Simon
Bolivar in New York that freedom in
the American continents was due
principally TO two heroes. Washington
and Bolivar. he caused to fame forth
afresh an old controversy regarding
the relative merits of Bolivar and
the hero of southern South America.
Gen. San Martin.
As result of this the Junta de
Historic Numismatica Americana
here has proposed that congress
should pass a law providing 100000"
Argentina paper. with which to make
a motion picture film showing the
part played by the Argentine hero i'm
the struggle against Spain. The plai;
Is to have the picture displayed in
South America and in other lands. SO
thar the world may have a better un-
derstanding of the exploits of the
leader who captured Lima Peru. and
thus broke the backbone of the Span
ish power. ana.
Historians of the southern part of
the continent have long accused those
of the northern half and of Central
America of persistently attempting
to belittle the deeds of San Martin.
They point out that while Bolivar
freed the north, San Martin accom-
plished the titanic feat of leading an
army from Argentina across the
Andes, freeing Chile and later cap
turing Lima, which was the seat OF
Spanish power. This. they say, put
an end to Spanish resistance.
Bolivar also was approaching Lima
at the time of its capture. coming from
the north. The two generals met IN
Guayaquil. Ecuador. and Gen. San
Martin resigned Lima to his fellow
liberator, returning himself to Argen-
tina.

When the writer visited. the foreiEn

information section, said that Admiral
Kato and Ambassador Shidehara were
the only ones who had Been selected
definitely. When I called attention to
the admirars denial Mr.. Hirota OF
planned that Kato's remarks were un-
on October IS, and is due at San Fran
cisso October %. because he dislikes
the colder northern route"
ArousinE Animated Debate.
The part which Siberia, Russia and
Canton will play in the coming con-
ference Is arousing animated debate
in the Orient and I asked:
"Will Japan suggest that Russia,
Siberia and southern China be given
a hearing at the conference?"
NO." replied Mr.. Hirota. Japan
has not recognized them"
However. they exist as factors in
far eastern AFFAIRS" I suggested.
Then why did not the United
States invite them? You should ask
your own government that question.
The United States has everything to
say SO far as the conference Is con-
cerned."
When I asked Mr.. Hirota If the
powers would not all have an equal
quickly;
mo. The United States will do all
the talking. Japan will merely say
yes or no, according to her approval
or disapproval of the plans proposed
by the United States"
