REVIVAL Or CEE5Si0 GHErK
Western Newspaper Welcomes Pos
sibiIity of Its Becoming, in
Time, a World Language.

Were one to judge from the fuss
made from time to time, one would
suppose there was real need of an in
ternational language. In the golden
age of the English language the great
queen addressed the ambassador at
her court in Latin, and all diplomatic
conversation and correspondence of
Europe was in Latin. Erasmus, the
great scholar and writer, who visited
the court of Elizabeth's father, Henry
VIII, wrote Latin works that pro-
duced an effect comparable to that
produced by the writings of Voltaire
two centuries later.
Much pains have been expended in
fabricating artificial language, such
as Esperanto, to serve as the medium
of communication. But such construc-
lions have no chance Of practical adop-
ton, nor could they answer as well as
actual language whether dead like
Latin or living like English.
There is language, however,
which is gradually becoming again a
living one, and which as q world Ian
guage would be ideal. The Greek uni
versities and Greek men Of culture,
including Venizelos himself, are en-
gagged In an attempt to restore CLASH
cal purity and perfection to modern
Greek. 1t is said that the endeayor
is by no means vain, and that gradu-
ally the ancient model is being ap-
preached We may yet have the speech
Of Pericles, the written language Of
Plato, employed in social intercourse
and commercial transactions, in con-
tracts, in courts of law, in houses Of

EASY WAY TO GET MONEY
indianapolis Youngster Preferred Good
Time at Lawn Fete to Pos
session of Two Teeth.

This young man of eight years has
been suffering the loss of his first
teeth, and his mother has had him In
the dentist chair several times. AS
the teeth show an inclination to part
company with the boy, the dentists
bill is running up. Until last week
the boy positively refused to permit
his mother to pull his teeth. She told
him finally that he could pull them
and she would give him so cents for
each one. He thought it over and de-
cided to pull two loose ones himself.
1t was easy and he got 81.
A lawn fete was to be given in the
neighborhood the other night, and the
boy wished to go. The day before the
affair was scheduled he brought four
teeth to his mother and demanded 81.
His mother was shocked, examined
the teeth and found they were sound
and would have lasted long time.
The youngster said he needed the
money, as he expected to attend the
lawn fete. He got tt.-Indianapolis

ALWAYS A WELCOME VISITOR
Occasionally Late, but Once Every
Month She Was at the Door
to Receive Him.

She waited patiently for his arrival,
feeling that he wouldn't disappoint
her. Sometimes he was little early
sometimes a little late, but eventu-
ally he would come, bringing with him
something. dear to her heart.
Once every month for four years he
had been q welcome visitor. How
well she knew his voice-hls smile
his CHEEKY whistle!
At times when he passed the house
without as much as glance, she I'M
derstood and made no effort to at
tract his attention. IL he appeared
distant now and then, she did not
grieve, knowing the day would come
a week, two weeks perhaps-when he
would walk fearlessly up the walk
with a smile and a CHEEKY word of
greeting.
After today she would never look for
him again. At least his appearance
would never again cause the delight
full little heart thrObs that were now
agitating her.
At last she saw him. Her arms
were Outstretched to receive-the last
War Risk Bureau allotment check,
which the postman handed to her with
smlIea-The Leatherneck.

Mud Pie Census.

Doctor Russell, who tells us that In
a spoonful of good arabic land there
are more living organisms than there
are people in the United Kingdom
has probably not wasted his time
making, an accurate count, but there
is no doubt he is well within the mark,
observes the London Chronicle.
A French bacteriologist recently
caught his little son playing with a
mud pie, and, borrowing a small por-
ton of the mixture, carefully analysed
it in his laboratory. He found ii
teeming with microbes, but only took
a census of the harmful varieties.
He found when he had finished his
labor that the little bit of the pie
he dealt with contained the following
germs: Diphtheria, 100000; measles,
2,45O,OOo; smallpox, 100000; lockjaw,
100000; dysentery, 100000; pneu-
monia, 505,OO0; tuberculosis, 100000
And the total of nearly II million was
only a percentage Of the organisms in
the delicacy.

ROMANCE OF RIVER LIGHTS
Flaeh!ieht Messages Fly Between
Cobs en- the Hudson and Girls
Ashore in New York.

Sitting in their apartment windows
on warm summer nights trying TO
get cool, many girls along Riverside
drive amuse themselves by blinking"
messages by f1ashlight to the sailors
on the navy craft anchored in the
Hudson, the New York Sun states.
"Oh, l wish I had something to
read. l wish had something to read"
was the message which some quarter
master was blinking away aimlessly
the other night when:
What do you like-romance, love,
mystery, sea adventure or detective
stOries?" came the barely discernible
twinkle. from the eleventh floor win
dow of a big apartment house in the
Cos.
Romance" flashed back the COB.
"Real stuff"
And then the first chapter of Won
derful romance was blinked off and the
second chapter was being enjoyed
when the mist and fog descended on
the river.
"Sorry, but can't read any longer
tonight" blinked the COB, who al
ready had met the young woman of
the blinker romance, which is taking
a serious turn.
"You wait and see." predicts one
young lady who is intercepting the
messages each night. "Those messages
are endearing and, oh, well, what girl
wouldn't enjoy being courted so ro-
mantically?"

Obesity undesIrabIe.

Are you fat? Be on your guard II
you are. Doctor Joslin of Boston han
gathered striking statistics that show
an undeniable association Of obesity
and diabetes, the condition in which

is not properly metabolfzed or stored
in the body. There are in this country
alone more than half million dia-
betics. "The penalty Of taking too
much alcohol Is well known, and
drunkard Is looked upon with pity or
contempt" says Doctor Joslln. Rare
ly, persons who become fat deserve
pity, because Of a real tendency to put
on weight despite moderate eating, but
most Of them should be placed In some
what the same category as the alco-
holic. In 900 cases out of 1000 be-
ing fat implies too much food or too
little exercise, or both combined. -
