Charles A. Dana UnquestionabIy
Right In His Contentious, but
He Has Been overruied.


Charles A. Dana (of the old New
York SUM had no patience with
slovenly writing. He knew his Greek
and Latin and half score of other
languages SO well that the deriva-
ton Of an English word came to him
almost instantly, and he objected to
its misuse. The plea that word
was In common use did not appeal to
him. He did not heed the dictionary
definition. He knew the origin OF the
word as well as did the maker Of the
dictionary.
He objected to saying of middle
aged man that he was in the prime of
life, for the reason that prime" is
from the Latin word 'primus," which
means first A man in the prime OF
life must be a very young man, he
said. man In the first part OF his
life, writes Chester 8. Lord In the
Saturday Evening Post.
Likewise, he stirred us up one day
by criticizing the use a writer had
made of the word manufactured" In
describing something made by ma
chinery. Manufacture he said,
comes from the Latin 'manus.' the
hand, and facio.' I make; manufac-
ture means to make by hand, not by
machinery or in any other way"
He objected to the use Of dexter
ity" In the sense of skill, adroitness,
aptitude, either physical or mental.
Dexter" is the Latin word meaning
the right, and correctly speaking.
"dexterous movements" means right
hand movements, was the plea.
"Where is your Latin?" he asked a
writer who had said that a political
had Endorsed a candidate.
you cannot indorse a man; you in
dorse a note or a document BY writ
ing on it's back. Endorse is from
the Latin in on, and 'dorsum,' the
back. 1t Is incorrect to use 1t In the
sense of a general approval" Some
one spoke up to say that under that
strict meaning you might indorse
man by hitting him on the back with
a club, and the critical lesson ended
IN laughter.
These criticisms of Mr.. Dana's were
made and needed forty or fifty years
ago. But like many other words OF
Latin origin they have come into gen.
eral use in the ways to which he OBJ
iected. Usage is simplifying the serv-
Ice of many Latin roots, is giving

Mary had been frightened by large
dog barking at her while she was
walking with her mother. From that
time all dogs that approached within
a few feet Of her caused her to cry
and run to her parents for protection.
A few evenings ago some friends
called at the house, bringing with
them a puppy. Like all dogs Of that
age, he was playful, cute, and friendly.
Mary, safe in her mothers lap, gazed
at the puppy for moment as he stood

NATIONAL PLAN IF 'f(IiEii'F FOREST PR0TECfION l 6'H; ii
Government to Urge Universal
 Saving Of Woodlands

New York, June 2o.-A national program of refore%ation, to be pushed by the government, engineer ing societies, universities, railroads, farmers organizations. Boy Scouts and moving picture interests is being planned by the American Engineer ing societies, the council has an- nounced.
 III A forestry committee of the coun- ell. headed by Charles Fl. MacDow- ell of Chicago, is in active charge of the movement under direction of the president of the council, Dean Mortimer F. Cooley of the engineer ing department, University of Michi- san.
 State Reports.
 The committee already has received reports from most states regarding existing forest conditions with rec concentrations for meeting the prob lems of forest protection and exten- sion in those states Many of these reports, it is said, regard this "critical period" in the development of national policy of reforestation.
 The United States Forest Service and the engineering council have taken steps to inform the public re- garding the utility of forests. The Forest Service has prepared a scen- ario depicting the romance of the forest" as a medium for giving this information. That part of the plans affecting the moving picture industry will be laid before Will H. Hays, it was explained.
 Among the reports of forest con dItions in various states were those and many other states the chief problem was that of forest fires. Fire Laws.
 The North Carolina Forest service recommended the strengthening of forest fire laws to include protective measures by railroads, lumbermen, etc. largely increased appropriations for fire prevention; state policy for acquiring forests and parks, for sup plying nursery trees and for educa- ton and publicity in forestry; in creased federal appropriation for CO., operation with states, purchase of ldHuS LOT IdllOIldl lOIcolS dilu lOl ll- vestigations of forest and wood using | problems.
 New York, Michigan and several l other states recommended reforesta | tion by planting of proper trees. Many | states had problems of excessive graz ing, and urged protection for small | trees.
 The American Engineering coun- cl's committee is obtaining exact data on the extent of the nations forest land. Reports from state foresters thus far received show the following figures: California. 13,5o0,ooo acres; Georgia, 2n,oo0,ooo; Idaho, 23,ooo,- 900; Indiana, 1,54o,oo Iowa, 2,5o0,- 900; Kansas, 1,o51,6oo Maine, 13, 900, ,oOO; Maryland. 2,22S,00o; Massa chusetts, 1,ooo,ooo; Michigan, 15,ooo- 900; Minnesota, 26,ooo, ,ooo; Missouri, 1o,0oo,000: New York. 12,ooo,0oo; North Carolina, 10000, ,ooo; Ohio, B. 100000; Oregon, 1s,775,ooo; Wash ington, 11,S0o,000.

FAKE ANTIQUITIES
Manufacturers in Egypt Are Reaping Good Harvest By Fleecing Collec- tors Daily.

London, June 20.-"The manufac-
 ture of antiquities is carried forward
 on such an extensive scale in Egypt,
 particularly at Cairo that it no has
 a place in reports on the industries
 of the country" says Professor Find CTS Petrie, the famous Egyptian arch aeologist in an interview in the Daily Chronicle.
 | The forgeries of Egyptian antiqui- | ties are often so we'll executed, he states, that even the most experienced collectors are deceived by them. Large sums of money have been paid for articles that were considered genuine treasures but have now been pro- nounced spurious or of doubtful orig in. So strong is the suspicion con- corning the authenticity of scarabs and various bronze and gold orna ments and other articles alleged to have been found in Egypt that many collectors are afraid to risk buying them, and in an excess of caution often turn down antiquities that are undoubtedly genuine. Thus the for geries have largely ruined the mar ket for Egyptian historical treasuries.

FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense OF permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricatlng action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative

GREAT CONCESSION FROM
THE ANGORA GOVERNMENT
1t VIII Allow Greek Vessels to Carry
Away Refugees Under Amer
lean Escort

Constantinople, Dec. 2s.-(By the
Associated Press).-The Turkish ma
tionalist government has notified the
American embassy here that it has de-
cided to permit Greek vessels to enter
Black Sea ports for the embarkation
Of Christian refugees from Asia Minor
on condition the ships are not under
the Greek flag and that they be es-
corted and under surveillance of Am
erican destroyers.
This is a complete reversal of pol
icy on the part of the Angora govern
ment which only a short time ago
categorically refused a request for
such permission transmitted by the
American naval authorities here. The
new move comes on the heels of the
Turkish concession restoring to Chris
tians full freedom to leave Anatolia
whenever they desired. Both changes
OF front are believed here to have
resulted from the pressure brought to
bear on the Turks at the Lausanne
conference, particularly from the
American delegation and the Turks
retaliation that their previous meas
ures had created a bad impression
throughout the world.

Heavy snow, icy winds d l,,rmit-

and suffering among the half-million
shelterless refugees scattered over
Tsrace and Macedonia Unless help is
prompt and generous, the Greek and
Armenian exiles in these areas will
perish in large numbers. Already the
majority are half naked, starving and
diseased. All the elementary needs of
life are lacking. Food stocks in the
towns are growing low. Famine must
ensue this winter unless -four is sent

Human woe and wretchedness sell
dom have reached such levels. Large
numbers are dying daily of exposure
and inanition. The condition of the
children and babies is pitiful. Infec.

SCIENCE FINDS NEW
WAY TO PRODUCE SUGAR

London, Dec. 11.-(By Mail to the
Associated Press).-Sugar may today
be obtained from soda water, the aer-
ated beverage which flows from the
niekel-plated faucets in thousands of
drug and candy stores throughout the
country, according to two English
scientists who for nearly three years
have been conducting laboratory ex-
periments with the idea of dupticat-
ing artifcially the work done by
plants in self lf-noprishment.
1t always has been a scientific mys-
terry how living plants build up the
sugar necessary for their growth,
from the carbon dioxide or carbonic
acid, a component part of the atmos-
phere,' which they absorb, by mixing it
with carbohydrates and the starch
universally found in plants.
Their experiments convinced the
scientists, Professor E. C. Baly and
Professor Heilbren, that not only is
it possible to produce formaldshyde
from soda water by the action of very
short wave length light, but that it il
also possible to produce fermaldehyds
with ordinary sunlight In the presence
of malachite green, or other appro
pirate coloring matter.
! Carrying their investigation a little
further they succeeded, by acting
upon soda water with ultra-viole'
rays, in building up sugar. They founs
that formaldehyde turns directly int
sugar. The yield of sugar may be IN
creased by heightening the concen
tration of carbon dioxide with sodium
carbonate.
