court CALLS HALT
ON OIL interference
CBy Associated Press)

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 20.-Officials
of the state of Vera Cruz were enjoin.
ed from interfering with the opera
tions of the Aguila Oil company, g
British concern, yesterday, by the
Mexican supreme court. The injunc-
ton stopped the officials from carry
ing out the provisions of REGENTS acts
of the state legislature, and declared
that these acts were not retroactive in
that they had no effect upon titles or
transactions on record before the pas
sage of legislation.
The decision of the supreme court
was considered here as mere formal
ity, following its action last week in
granting a temporary relief to the
Aguila company. Efforts by the COM
pany to have lifted the embargo which
recently was imposed by Vera Cruz
state authorities to insure the pay
ment of back taxes, were sustained by
the court.

symptom of a female trouble which

night after night prevents restful sleep.

but toward the horizon, and continually he
smote his hands together in anguish of spirit
and now and again cried dolorously:
"Bismillah!' and "Wallah" and "Gosh!"
For the morrow the appointed day on
which he was to sally forth to meet the Sheik
Meyer, commander of the hosts of the Sultan
Nathan the Curious of Albany, and wrestle
in speech with the sheik and his emirs. Sor-
row safe heavily upon the shoulders of the
Caliph and disaster stood at his elbow, for
the messengers sent forth had not yet re-
turned with his scribe who had Jared on vaca-
ton; wherefore Hy-an, alone in his hour of
need, sought vainly for words with which to
contend with the infdels.
Now toward the time of the third call for
prayer, while the good Caph writhed in his
distress, as we'll as his figure would permit,
and had serious thought in his woe of rending
his second best HAITIAN, feet sounded on the
stair Of the minaret.
And the vizier, Sinn-ott burst into the
presence of his lord, his gorgeous garments
all awrys crying:
Father of the Spouting Volcano, all IS
we'll. Thy scribe hath returned and the barb
on which he rode frantically to thy aid lies
dead in the courtyard"
Then rose Hy-lan to his feet, and his face
was as sunrise after storm, and he cried:
"Admit him at once to my presence"
But Sinn-ott, salaaming low, quoth: "Nay,
Uncle Of the Typhoon, he hath withdrawn to
his own chamber and already writeth an ad-
dress SO that tomorrow thou mayest blast
the Sheik Meyer utterly"
And Hy-lan bethought himself and quoth
"Allah hath heard me-"
Then thrust he aside the muezzin who had
assembled to summon the Faithful to prayer
and raising his voice shouted in triumph
so that all the city heard:
allah Akbar! Allah illah Allah! Every
thing is lovely and I am for the people and
against the interests!'
Now, the morning of the next day the
Sheik Meyer and his host entered the city in

pomp and panoply, his enirs and pashas his
wazirs and scribes, all save the Emir Lusk,
for Al-bi-Hirshfeld was still in the city. And
with the sheik came one skilled in plumbing
and measuring the knowledge Of man. Ell
Brown Effendi was his title, and when the
host has encamped at the place of meeting
the good Caliph was summoned before him.
Then when Hy-lan appeared leaning on the
arm of his faithful scribe all the people
shouted for JOY and the good Caiph, after
hasty consultation with his companion, ad-
dressed them follows:
II am delighted to see you all to-day
am for the people and against the interests
If you will repair to the steps Of my palace
we will all have our picture taken together"
But his scribe whispered to him, and he
added:
"Wen never mind the picture at pres
ent"
And he passed through the Faithful to the
encampment of the sheik., But at the gate
thereof a Nubian sentry drew his scimitar
and growled:
"Pass thou therein, Caliph Hy-lan, to the
test, but pass alone. Thy companion may
not accompany thee
Then grew the brow of the good Caliph
dark with wrath, and he spake:
"Behold l, the good Caliph, submit to the
test thy masters have prepared. Will they
in addition to the indignites already heaped
upon me hale me before them dumb and
gagged?"
Yet the sentry replied, flashing his selma
tar:
at is an order"
Then drew the faithful scribe his master to
one side and, whispering hastily, saith:
Lord of All Wisdom, read thou to the

hungry" or 'evi' 1t is difficult for an
adult foreigner to stress these tones properly.
The Chinese naturally do not experience this
difficulty
This system Of tones has made necessary
most interesting innovation in the formula
ton of the new Chinese script, namely, the
introduction of mathematical figures in writ
ing In order to hold the number of charac-
ters in the new alphabet to thirtynine instead
of 195 it was decided to place mathematical
coefficient alongside each character to indi-
cate it's tonic accent.
Professor Chen does not share the fear of
his literary contemporaries in China that the
introduction of system which will do away
with this difficult manner of building words
will result in a breaking away from the
classics. He feels, rather, that the new alpha
bet may provide stepping stone across the
wide gap which has always existed in China
between the masses and the ntellectuals.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-21

learn, while the written Chinese is difficult,
is due to the fact, Professor Chen explains,
that the written language was built up solely
for literary purposes, and is filled with ailu-
sions to the classics. Spoken and written Chi
nese are different languages. The Chinese
masses cannot understand the written Ian
guage when it is spoken and even the stu
dents of the classics never resort to it when
conversing.
An example of the difference in the two
languages can be had in the Chinese equiva
lent for the English verb "arrive." In the
spoken language it is "dao," and written it
becomes cling In writing on the economy
of time reference would be made to an
ancient character who found tasks to fill every
minute of the day. In speaking on this sub
ject one would give simple and comprehensi-
Bile reasons for valuing time.
The average Chinese peasant can get along
very we'll with vocabulary of 500 words.

"rhinoceros' and "hippopotamus.' 1t is
further argued that Occidental languages are
beset with grammatical difficulties by
of numerous infections and confusions o.
genders-ponts on the avoidance of which
English and Americans are congratulated.
Having presented these comparisons, they
declare that the language is not so difficult
as to require simplifcation and that if new
and easy manner of writing is introduced it
will react to keep the majority of future
students from travelling the full distance Of
the long and arduous road to classical learn
ing.
Professor Y. H. Chen, head of the Chinese
Department of Columbia, upholds his brother
savants regards the comparison of Chinese
with Occidental languages. He does, however,
disagree with them in their belief that the
new Chinese alphabet will endanger the fol-
lowing of the classical language.
The reason that spoken Chinese is easy to

sheik and Ell Brown Effendi the scroll I
have prepared. And if then they ask thee
questions let thy mind be blank SO wilt
thou triumph over the infidel''
And Hy-lan replied: at soundeth easy"
and he entered the encampment with good
heart.
Then stood the good Caliph Hy-lan of the
Ruddy Countenance before the servants of
the Sultan, and he lifted up his voice and read
the scroll prepared by his SCRIBE following
carefully the gestures Suggested on the mar
gin thereof And all marveled at his skill
and those of the Faithful who had received
holiday from their appointed tasks for the
purpose, cheered him loudly so that the face
of the Sheik Meyer grew terrible, and he
pounded threateningly with his mace
But when the tumut had died away Ell
Brown Effendi rose in his place, saying: THE
peace of Allah be upon thee, Caliph Hy-lan."
And the good Caliph replied 81 don't re-
member, but McInnes Bey, chief of my
wazirs, can tell you"
Then shouted all the faithful for JOY, and
Ell Brown Effendi, crestfaen considered and
returned to the attack saying:
Thou art the Caliph of this city,"
But Hy-lan responded: THAT is not a fair
question. If you desire, Ali-bi Hirshfeld can
supply you with the documents in the case"
And Ell Brown Etfendi once more quoth:
Hath not this thy city increased it's taxes?"
To which the good Caliph responded: "Will
you repeat that question:"
And it was done until the secretary who
did so coughed and clutched at his throat, and
Hy-lan pondered and said at length:
"This is not fitting question for Calph
to answer. Tell it to the Comptroller
Then said Ell Brown Effendi, and the

From these he will coin many more by com
pounding, and thus possess himself Of several
thousand words. His learning of the Ian
guage is made simpler, too by the fact that
there is no distinction of gender and no de-
clension of verbs. A handicap that the Chi
nese experience is the lack of elasticity in
the language which is found in Occidental
tongues. Verbs, participates and adjectives
cannot be built by rule from nouns, and the
student is accordingly cheated out of regu-
lar form by which he might add tremendously
to his vocabulary.
What makes spoken Chinese difficult for
Westerners is the fact that every sound, and
there are thirty-nine of them, corresponding
to the sounds expressed by the letters of our
alphabet, individually and as diphthongs, is
given five different tones. Each tone has the
full value of a sound. Thus the sound so
may, according to the tone in which it is ut
tered signify NEST goose" "l'' or me"

beads of sweat stood heavy upon his brow:
sIs it not the truth that thy city hath ex-
ceeded the debt limit established by the Sui
TAM"
And Hy-an replied:
81 work here every day from 8 in TIE
morning till 6-maybe o'clock at night"
Then rose the Faithful and shouted their
praises of their good Caliph so loudly and 50
long that the test was adjourned Until the
morrow, and Hy-lan returned in triumph TO
his palace but the Sheik Meyer and his fol-
lowers remained sukng in their tents.
Now on the morrow and again on the dav
after the servants of the Sultan Nathan the
Curious sought to measure the knowledge Of
the good Caliph. But he spoke as one IN
spired by djinns, so that man understood
him and the Faithful, we'll pleased at receiv-
ing three days off in succession, cheered him
the more.
And the Caph Hy-lan Of the Rudy CouT-
tenance blasted utterly Ell Brown EfTend,
who asked him:
"Thou wouldst not reduce the wages OF thy
servants?"
And the Caliph answered NAY"
Then the prober of the depths of KNOW
edge said:
Y ct thou Wouldst reduce Inc taxes OIL try
people,
To which Hy-lan responded "Yea."
And FL Brown Efendi, smiling in triumph,
for he believed he had trapped the Caliph,
quoth:
"How?"
Then Hy-lan, rearing himself to his full
height, replied
"Ask Abu ibn Craig, the philosopher"

70, YE imams of Islam who sit in
~ judgment over the Faithful and
speak the law Of Allah for their
enlightenment, draw near! Wazirs,
skilled in the keeping of accounts, and all to
whom are intrusted the scrolls and parch
ments of state give ear to the thousand and
sixteenth tale of the good Caliph Hy-lan of
the Rudy Countenance, and of how an in
6del sheik strove to measure the limits of his
knowledge.
Now, it came to pass in the fourth year Of
the Profit that the Caliph Hylan safe in the
topmost mnaret of his palace. And continu-
ally he gazed north, east, west and south so
that the sun shifting the radiance of his coun
tenance dazzled the eyes Of his people in the
bazaars and they said one to the other:
Behold the great new weathercock that
hath been placed on the topmost point of ou:
Caliph's palace!'
Yet the Caliph gazed not upon his people,
