APPROVED BY USE
Words Really incorrect Properly
Part of Language.
Charles A. Dana Unquestionably
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 a 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 sprimus," which
means first. A man in the prime of
life must be a very young man, he
said, a man in the first part of his
life, writes Chester S. Lord in the
Saturday Evening Post.
Likewise, he stirred US up one day
by criticiZing the use writer had
made of the word manufactured in
chinery. Manufacturer 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 Latino" he asked a
writer who had said that a political
convention had Endorsed a candidate.
"You cannot indorse a man; you in
dorse a note or document by writ
ing on it's back. Endorse is from
the Latin in, on, and 'dorsum,' the
back. 1t is incorrect to use it in the
sense of a general approval" Some
one spoke up TO say that under that
strict meaning you might indorse a
man by hitting him on the back with
a club, and the critical lesson ended
III lduSAlCl.
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
them wider and more general mean
ing. "Dexterous" and "dexterity"
have come by common consent to
mean alert, nimble, physical or mental
service of various kinds. We use the
word manufacture" for the making
of anything, by machinery or chem
ical processes or almost any way. We
indorse mems sentiments or conduct,
the action of conventions or anything
to which we wish to give the stamp
of approval.
'Primep is in constant Use to ex-
press vigor, beauty, power, fullness
of perfection maturity.
These uses attest the constant
change, the expansion of our lam
guage There is less inclination to
hold the language to rigidity of root
meaning.

ID USSIA is determined to be
N party to the peace confer
ence of the Near East. Turkey
says Russia and all other ma
tons bordering on the Black sea
must be represented in the meet
ing. France finds her policy re-
garding the Near East is almost
identical with that of Russia,
and therefore will probably favor
the admission of the soviet gov
eminent to the conference.
Do you think this would be
both just and wise, and that So
Wet Russia's rulers have so far
receded from their extreme poll
cies that they are now entitled
to representation in conferences
of the powers?

THE United States has sent II de-
stroyers to the Near East to re-
infOrce our naval fleet there and help
in protecting life and property, but
there is not the remotest chance of
Americas being drawn into war there.
Bishop James Cannon of the Metho-
dist church, South, sent rather hysteri-
cal cables to the State department
from Constantinople urging militant
Intervention to save Christians in the
East from Turkish massacres. In re-
ply Secretary Hughes said the govern
ment had done and was doing all it
could in this way through representa-
tons and by helping in the evacua-
ton of the refugees from Smyrna.
He concluded:
"As you are probably aware, the
executive has no authority to go be-
yond this and there has been no ac-
ton by congress which would justify
this government in an attempt by
armed forces to pacify the Near East
or to engage in acts of war in order
to accomplish the results you desire
with respect to the inhabitants of that
territory and to determine the prob
lens which have veXed Europe for
generations"

brought within sight a rapprochement
between France and Russia, which
have been such bitter enemies since
the advent of the soviet regime. AS

RADIO PLEA
FROM LEGION
Oswald Ryan Urges Memorial
Day Observance.

An appeal to the citizens of all In
diana communities to cooperate with the
American Legion posts Of Indiana In
making Memorial Day ''the most impress
sive tribute to our noble dead which has
yet been paid" was the substance of a
radio speech broadcasted from Anderson
by Oswald Ryan, Indiana member of the
national executive committee of the
American Legion. The speech marked
the formal opening of tho new Arrow
Radio Laboratories broadcastlng station.
which was recently constructed.
Among those who listened In on Mr..
Ryan's speech were legion audiences at
Brazil, Linton, Corydon, Morocco, Dcca-
tur and Fort Wayne. 1t was the first
legion radio speech to be sent out from
Indiana.
Mr. Ryan said In part:
1.-The permanent mad enduring purpose
of the American Legion Is to strengthen
and preserve the basic principles OF our
American institutions Of orderly free
dom. Large numbers Of our people In
their rush for wealth and opportunity
have forgotten the great price which was
paid for these liberties upon fields Of
blood. Out of this has come the great
est danger to our commonwealth--citi-
zen Indifference to civic obligations.
ITO save America from foreign born
radicals Is simple and easy. Our real
task is to save America from indifferent
Americans"

campers along their route. almost in the
class Of motor car gypsies.
Dozens Of these camping tourists are
coming to our headquarters in the Clay

Mr.. Noblet continued. The streets OF
our city are already spotted with the
motoring knights and ladies. Khaki at
tire, with breaches and puttees even for
the women, seems to be the favOrite mode
of dress. but many of the women this
spring are wearing t1ickers and heavy
wooden stockings. They are dressed TO
meet the exigencies OF motor travel.
Where are they all Going? Just about
as many places IS iae- are places on the
map. These tourists gre headed for
everywhere. some say they are headed
for nowhere in particular-just travel
ing around"
At present, the motor club states. there
IS only one active camping site In the
suburbs Of Indianapolis and this is at
the south end OF Riverside Park, where
the park board has arranged conveniences
for motor tourists. Several other camp
sites viii be arranged for this spring,

CENSORSHIP TO BE AVOIDED BY

Stage Producers Appoint Own Board to Delete What Is

NEW YORK. Aug. 12.-A censor ship which, it is piously hoped, will be sane as we'll as sanitary now is ready to sit in judgement on Broad way drama.
 Under the guiding hand of Angus tus Thomas, recently apointed big boss of the theatrical world, the many groups interested in the stage have cleverly out-maneuvered the professional reformers.
 Thomas and his associates have perfected a plan which, with admit ted defects, has the virtue of fore stalling political censorship.
 This plan, which begins to function with the opening of the 1922-1923 sea- son, is the Outgrowth of combined eff forts of dramatists actors and produ- cers.

RED TAPE KEEPS OCEAN BETWEEN
 BELGIAN AM|LY
Mother, Son, Arriving Few Hours Before July |, Must
 Sail Home, Back Again

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.- To cover the hundred yards from the detention room here to the New York ferry, a young Belgianl woman and her eight year-old son have been forced to take an extra 6000-pile trip to Europe and back
 All because they arrived three and a half hours ahead of schedulei
 And the immigration authorities could find no way of cutting the red tape which barred them!
 So another chapter of sorrow was added to the tragedy of a young fam fly which had been rent apart in the aftermath of the war.
 With his business wiped out by war Remi Carton left Belgium, canAe to this country and settled in Chicago. He declared his intention of becom- ing citizen of the United States.
 They worked hard and prospered. When they had $2OOO in the family bank account, they decided to get their boy.
 Goes For Son
 Mrs. Carton went for him. Being a resident of this country. she knew she could be readmitted here without trouble. But she didn't know about the restrictions governing the admit tance of her son. She started to re- turn in June.
 The Belgian immigration quota for the fiscal year ending June 30 had been filled.
 Mrs. Carton was advised to post pone her return until the next sailing. This ship was not due in New York until July l.
 But the boat was fast and the weath CT good so the mother and boy reach ed port several hours before they ex- pected. The authorities decided that the youngster could not be admitted for the quota had been filled.
 But couldn't they forget that he ar rived three and one-half hours too soon and consider him as a July ar rival? The mother argued with of ficials.
 Case Goes to Washington
 They took it up with the immigra- tion inspectors. The case was car ried to board of review in Washing ton. A month went by.
 The boy had to go back He could return on the same boat and apply for admission under the new quota-but he had to go back
 Its hard to be so near-and yet so far,' sighed Mrs. Carton when she heard the final decision. 'T can't un- derstand law that makes us travel thousands of miles to come back to the same place a little later.
 Put I suppose that is can't be helped. I'm going with my son. I won't let him travel alone. The soon- CT we go. the quicker we return"
 Back To Europe
 So she packed up, took the fastest boat out and expects soon to come back. Today she is at sea.
 But if the return trip is delayed and Belgium's quota of 313 a month is filled before they reach port again they may have to make the trip across a third timel
 "On the 18th of last month," says Harry R. Landis, assistant commis- siOner of immigration here, there were only 24 Belgians admissible be- fore the allotment was filled.
 50 Mrs. Carton and her son would better hurry back"

 NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-"The peak of American relief has been reached in starving Russia and the specter of famine fast is disappearing.
 That is the message brought by Colonel William N. Haskell, director of the American Relief Administra- tion Just back from Russia to make a report to Chairman Herbert Hoover, he gives NEA Service a comprehen- sive survey of the work already done.
 We are feeding 1O,OOO.0O0 people, including 3,5OO,OOO children and G. 5OO,000 adults" he says "The work, covering an area of 100000 square miles, is being done by 200 Ameri- cans. Close to SOO,OO0 tons of sup plies have been distributed.
 Child feeding was begun last Sept. 1 and adult feeding April l. By the coming September adult relief will cease, and the feeding of children will be cut down gradually to 100000.
 By that time crops will have ma tured, for there was much more planting last spring following the dis tribution by the Soviet government of S10,000,000 worth of seed grain.

 Out of the $30,000,OO0 subscribed by the American people two years ago for Central European relief, $S,000,000 has gone to feed Russian children, according to Haskell.
 Daily 3,5O0,O0 children visit the 1S,000 American kitchens. Each has plate and spoon and receives a we'll cooked meal consisting of bread, cocoa and milk and either rice, beans or corn grits.
 Out of the $2O,O0O,OOO appropriated by congress, 100000 tons of corn have been shipped into the Volga region Needy adults numbering 5,O00,000 receive 30 pounds of corn a month. This they grind, usually by primitive methods, and make into corn bread.
 Feed 1,5oo,ooo in Ukraine
 An additional 100000 adults are being fed at soup kitchens in the Ukraine-mostly refugees from the Volga region-and along the Polish border, where from 5000 to 6,000 re- patriated Poles pour daily through the town of Minsk alone.
 "They swarmed into railway sta tions, so fast" says H. L. Gilchrist, member of Colonel Haskell's staff, that wagons had to be comman- deered to carry away the dead. Babies were born there daily"

sHORT CIRCUIT CAUSES
TROUBLE ON STREET LIGHTS

A short circuit on the street light
ing system at the corner of the Plaza
and North Main street, caused some
of the people who had occasion to be
on the streets about 3 o'clock Sun
day morning to look in amazement
at the unusual brightness Some of
those who arrived in the city during
the time that the lights were so
bright say that the headlight on an
automobile was easy to face In COM
parison with every street light in
the city at that time.
The trouble was caused by high
voltage wire coming into contact
with the street circuit, but, fortu-
nately, very few globes were burned
out as is generally the case when
anything of this kind happens, Work
men were busy today repairing the
wires and getting everything In
shape again.
