TEACH LANGUAGE BY
Use OF FOLK SONGS
Hungarian Has Plan to Aid
Americanization Work.

Amsricanization through music! The
idea has received a new impetus from
a visitor to Washington during the
Inauguration of President Harding.
He is an Hungarian, who came as an
emigrant to this country, whose name
is Goza Boszormeny.
Mr. Boszormenyi has texts. written
in the English language, for the most
popular Hungarian folk songs. and for
the wcll-known folk lore, ballads and
romances. These texts, with their
music could be used in the evening
schools for Hungarians, who, by fol-
lowing their much lovCG songs
using the English-would acquire the
language, and at the same time de-
rive real enjoyment out of an hours
study that often proves irksome after
a hard days work.
Then, too, the national tunes will
help fix the meaning OF the new words
in their minds, giving the proper
sound in a way that will remain with
them. '.r.
The foreign-born Americans know
the difficulties of acquiring the new
language, and in linking this idea OF
familiar music, with the new-world
words. they will have to use, they
will promote the interest and quick
en- the ability of future Americans in
reaching a status of citizenship.
Americanization, through music
from the homeland. offers much for
those who are seeking to solve these
problems of America.

CITY CLUB TO HAVE
new HOME XMAS
Ground Will Be Broken Soon tor
Building to Cost
: 100000.

Ground will be broken within sixty
days at the latest, and possioay
within thirty days, for the $soo'oVV
project for the erection OF new
home for the City Club on q street
northwest between Thirteentn anu

be in its new clubhouse py heA.
Christmas, according to preo,I.,o .h. n,nb
j. A. Whitfield, president OF the ciuo.
Final Endorsement of the proJect
was given by the membership AT
meeting last night at the clubhouse,
Farrarut SQUARE. Resolutions were
adopted approving the plan, autho-
rising the board OF governors to pro-
coed with the letting OF contracts
and the performance OF other acts
necessary for the prompt carrying
out of the project. and indorslng =
plan for the temporary financing OF
the clubhouse.
The entire financing OF the project
now Is assured and the work will be
pushed with all speed. Before the
erection OF the building can be start
ed the club will have to clear the q
street site of an Indebtedness OF
100000, This necessitates the rais-
ing of about $125,00O, the remainder
Of the 100000 already being avail
able in liquid assets.
To raise the $125,0OO a temporary
finance committee, of which John
Dolph is chairman, was appointed re-
Gently by Mr. Withheld on authoria-
ton Of the board of governors. Mr..
Dolph last night announced that the
entire amount already had been over
subscribed, the money to be obtained
through loans from members OF the
club to run for not longer than q
year and to bear Z per cent interest.
Mr.. Dolph said the money was raised
without effort after consulting only a,
comparatively few members OF the
club.
The new club plan calls for four
story building. The first floor will
contain four large stores. which will
yield the club a handsome income.
The second floor will contain an i'm
mense dining room and several pri-
vate dining rooms. The third moor
will be set aside for club purposes
and will contain an immense lounge.
a library a reading room, card rooms.
and a large billiard room. The fourth
floor will contain an immense combi-
nation auditorium aud gymnasium.
one of the largest in the city.
The new plan was proposed by
Thomas Bones and the preliminary
sketches have been worked out by
Frederic B. Pyle, the club architect.

Reason and Faith.
To the Editor. The Washington He

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In Mondays Herald Paul Nor
ris employed a convincing line OF
reasoning to prove that the infal-
lible route to the truth is through
reason, and that common sense, in
tuition and feeling are children OF
superstition and brute ancestry. A
thorough analysis of the numerous
forces which make up our mankind.
as well as OF the factors which de-
termine truth in all Its phases, is
apt to lead but to the same con-
clusion. That is freely granted.
There is. however, but one char
acter in history who is the exponent
of perfection, of truth: and he is not
a human. 1 refer to the Son of Coo.
The salvation Of mankind lies in the
endeavor to approach the truth in
human conduct as exressed by re-
ligion. There is no disposition
toward perfection nor is there any
known example OF IT other than the
one mentioned above. ] cannot but
believe that we who are humans
and human are infinitely wiser than
things as they are and endeavor TO
live according to our ideals. our
common sense. our intuitions. az
well as our reason. Faith in Goo
and in humanity, which are very
much alike. are worth more than
all the scientific" discoveries Of
our time.

poor. illiterate ancestors really did
have God, the Sun born OF the
Virgin Dawn, who had his star OF

whom they as well as We, could not
live, who looked down from such
heights. nothing could be hidden from
him, so they bowed before him ask
ing him to forgive their sins, or
vindicate their innocence, as he
sailed up his course in the skies.
They asked him for their daily
bread. He strangled the serpents of
night (Hercules strangled the ser
pent in his cradle). did battle with
storms est. George killing the
dragon). Sometimes he burst
forth at the end of his course

All the charges of Imperialism

Germany hates her eastern nelsn-
cloth over a military armor, whlch
though not quite as thick as before
the world war. is still very strong
Until Europe becomes stabilized the
French and the Poles are as one
A weakened France means a weak
ened Poland. 4 France endangered
by Germany is a Poland threatened
by the Prussian junkers. NOBODY
can separate one from the other.
Germany hates her eastern ne1Sh-
Dor just as much as ana perhaps
more than her western neiGhoor.
This Is a natural condition and not
an artificial arrangement. 1t is
situation growing out of the very
geographical position in which the
three countries find themselves. and
this is augmented by the past re-
lations between these countries, the
long years of suffering heaped upon
France and Poland by their com
mon enemy in his day OF power and
their weakness.
That is why on this proposition
of land ornaments France ana Fo-
land are as one and they Will re-
main as a unit until such a time
when the course of human events
will carve out for them separate
channels.

not an active participant in the de-
hberations of the conference, is
nevertheless a vital part of the sub
ject matter before the conferees.

though to fully grasp it one must

way the laymen can understand

and the moving object changes its
length in relation to speed and d.

This theory had its forerunners

growth, more specifically, of the
attempt to find the velocity OF the
earth's motion by a very delicate
experiment in light. The theory
also makes instantaneity a relative
