MUST USE SLANG WITH CARE
Authors Handling of ForcefuI Words
of the Moment May Be Lost
on Future Readers.

If authors who have passed beyond
this vale of tears might return for
time and re-edit their works, they
would probably eliminate many of the
slang words which at the time of writ
ing seemed so pungent and spicy.
Other words that were slang at the
time of writing the writer would want
to leave unchanged, for perhaps now
they are good colloquial English.
One of 0. Henry's characters defines
Man About Town as fly guy
that's wise to the all-night push" The
newer generation would almost need
footnotes to understand that. push"
has virtually disappeared and fly
seems oldfashioned. WISE" in the
sense that o. Henry's character used
it, seems to be as vigorous as ever.
The flavor has lasted.
There are words, once used as slang,
whose flavors have lasted through gen
erations until they have been placed
in good standing in the language;
words such as ''prig," mob" and
'humbug."
No writer could give a faithful
translation Of current colloquial Eng
lish without introducing much slang
that will never live. A glossary will
surely be necessary. II therefore be-
hooves the authors to get their slang
written correctly, or the glossaries
attached to their work a hundred
years from now will read unintended
meanings into their words. A current
instance Of such a mistake is in Sin.

One Of the characters, Rabbit" is
made to say, IT tip my benny to him I"
Does he mean he will doff his benny"
and fight, or does he mean he'll tip his
kelly" to him. in token OF respect 7
Everybody ought to know that ben
ny" means overcoat and not hat, and
Mr. Lewis certainly meant to have his
character exclaim that ne would tip
his hat, in admiration, to the other
man; for the rest Of the paragraph is
paean Of praise He should have
said, II tip my kelly-or lid-or dip

puzzle the philologist of another CEN

TELL OF VICTORY
Inscriptions Record the Passage
of Conque7ors.
Ancient and Modern Times Connected
by Tablets Put on Record
In the Holy Land.

More than three thousand years ago
on the face of a cliff in the Lebanon
hills Rameses II, king of Egypt, or
dered his stone carvers to inscribe
tablet setting forth his conquest of the
land. The figures of the ancient
Egyptian and his men are still visible.
few feet away one may see, carved
In the same rock by British stone
cutter, record of the coming in Sep
tember, 1918, of Field Marshal Sir
Edmund H. Allenby, G. G. B.. COM
mander of the allied forces in Asia
Minor. And the passage Of the CEN
turtles from b. G. 1900 to A. D. 1918
is recorded by various other carvings,
in all not less than twelve, each de-
scribing the march Of a victorious
army.
The cliff selected for the carving Of
these historic records Is at the mouth
Of the Dog river, ten miles northeast
of Beirut in Syria. This strip Of coun-
try lying between the Lebanons and
Egypt has been the bridge between
the ancient empires of the valley Of
the Nile and Mesopotamia, and over
1t have passed the armies Of the an
cient, medieval and modern worlds.
The narrowest point is where the
Lebanon mountains come close to the
sea and at this place Rameses II set
the precedent Of commemorating his
conquests by hewing out panel on
the face Of the cliff. These carvings
are cut about four or five inches deep.
from five to nine feet high, and from
two to four and half feet in width.
Several Assyrian cOnquerors led
their armies through this pass, includ-
ing the great Sennacherib, who threat
ened Jerusalem, but whose army was
smitten by "the breath Of the Lord"
Alexander the Great led his conquer
'ng hosts through the same defile on
his way to Egypt, and Greek and Latin
tablets tell of the conquests Of the
great kingdoms Of southern Europe
when the march Of empire passed from
Asia to Europe.
Coming down to recent history, a
tablet tells of the coming OF the army
Of Louis Napoleon in 1850, when the
massacres In the Lebanons called for
European interference and France
first set her foot In Syria. Nearly
sixty years passed by, and then the
English army. led by General Allenp,
and assisted by the French, swept like
a whiriwind from the south four years
ago and ended tire rule of the Turk
in the southern part Of the Levant.
A panel has been cut In the cliff near
those Of the ancient Egyptians, tell
ing of that great victory and bring
ing the wonderful cliff record of his
tory up to date.

"DoQmoblle" as Il Were.

The legless beggar who was hailed
to court recently when it was discov-
cred that he passed his leisure mo-
ments having himself hauled around
in limousine made no more Of a SEN
sation than another legless man did
at Grand Central terminal the other
night as he sped across the polished
floor to his train. He was seated on
a four-wheeled, carpeted contraption
which stood about Ave inches off the
floor. At one side trotted husky dog,
strong chested and thick of haunch,
apparently a cross between a pointer
and Scotch collie. The dog wore a
stout leather collar from which hung
strap about the dimensions of the
old-fashtoned elevated car strap. The
legless man clutched the strap and the
dog trotted. Very simple locomotion
and speedy. He steered his dogmobile
by spoken word and the animated mo-
tor understood every command. The
throng choking the concourse cheer
fully fell back to make way for the
unique traveller, who was hauled
through the right gate by the dog to
the right suburban train.-New York

the sentry one day what his duties

to warn people not to touch the wall.
He had been stationed there, issuing
that warning, for ten years. Why?

"New" Rembrandt Found.

According to Dutch newspapers. a
remarkable Rembrandt painting, the
existence of which was previously I'M
suspected, has recently been discOv-
cred in Prague by Doctor Fell, an art
critic.
The painting, SO centimeters in
height by 81 in width, is on wood and
represents the marriage of Alexander
the Great and Roxanna. 1t is said to
be splendid example of the great
painters wonderful mastery of light
and shade.
Rembrandt's signature, a Persian
Inscription indicating the subject of
the work, and the date, 1923, came to
light after numerous coats of heavy
varnish had been removed from the
picture.
