/ Gals FOR NAV DICTIONARY
New York Newspaper Condemns the
Present Ones as Cumbersome
and Disconcerting.

Like many books called classics
which we speak Of reverently and nev
er look at the dictionary Of our Ian
guage seems to be failing into dis
use; we seldom consult 1t. If strange
word "swims into our ken" we regard
1t as an impertinence or We use 1t as q
kind Of game; We argue about It, dis
cuss 1t, and perhaps write to the
newspapers for Il definition, but we
don't consult the dictionary.
Perhaps the reason for our neglect
Is that the unabridged dictionary Il
too cumbersome and it gives too many
meanings, though thin papers cut the
ordinary bulk. Simple words therein
are found to be both noun and vert
(spelled alike), and sometimes they
have more than a dozen distinct mean
ings. This is dlsconcerting. There
may be room for a dictionary with the
obsolete and archaic words left out. O
true Twentieth-century dictionary that
shall be fool proof.-New York Herald

SERIOUS CHARGES

Senator Sutherland Says
Probe of Veterans Agency

The congressional investigation

serious nature" according to a re-
port filed yesterday by Senator
Sutherland, republican of West Vir-

Reciting that s450,O00.o00 was being
spent annually by the Veterans
Bureau the report referred to the
charges uncovered by it's inquiry and
added:
just to Both Sides.
'It is believed to be I'm the interest
OF the public as well IS in the interest
OF the beneflciaries Of the govern
ments appropriations that thorough
investigation be made to determine
their truth of falsity. If these
charges cannot be substantiated, then
il Is due to the officials of the bureau
and to the public that they be set
entirely at rest Opportunity should
be given to all those who have any
facts at their command indicating
waste, mismanagement, or other
abuse of any kind. to present such
charges to an authorized committee
of the Congress-. and to testify under
oath regarding them, giving to those
accused ample opportunity to dis
prove them.
Would Recommend Action.
"If such committee shall find that
these charges are well based it should
make such a report to the Congress
when it reassembles as will be
justified by the facts. If it should be
proven that criminal conduct on the
part Of any of those having to deal
with this subject has existed, then
those facts should be placed in the
hands of the Department of Justice
for prosecution"
If joint congressional committee
of investigation is not provided the
Sutherland committee recommended
that the proposed investigation be
conducted by the special Senate
committee after filling of vacancies
caused by retirement of present
