Minnesota and the Dakotas. The
Poles, while accustomed to climatic
conditions Of northern Europe, are
apparently less devoted to agri-
culture than some Of their imme-
diate neighbors, and they are
found in those states offering OPP
portunities in the mining and
manufacturing industries, for of
the 10000 Poles in. the United
States in 1920 247,000 were in the
state of New York, $4,000 in
Pennsylvania, 10000 in Illinois,
100000 in Michigan, and about
10000 in New England as a whole.
The cosmopolitan Britisler dis
tributes himself very widely. OF
the $4,000 in the United States,
135,000 were in New York, $4,000
in New England, 10000 in Penn i
sylvania, $4,000 in Illinois, 47,G00
in Michigan, $4,000 in Ohio, $1,000
on the Pacific coast, and $4,000 in
the Mountain States. OF the H.
$4,000 natives of ireland, the
states having big cities get the
bulk, New York $4,000, Massachu-
sets $4,000, Pennsylvania III 900.
and Illinois $4,000. Oh the 100000
Russians, the mining and manufac-
turing states had the bulk, New
York $4,000, Pennsylvania 10000,
Illinois l17000, New England A.

Italians, for of the 100000 in the
United States in 1920 $4,000 were
in New York, $4,000 in Pennsyl-
vania, $4,000 in New Jersey, and
$4,000 in Massachusetts.
The South gets but small per-
centage of the home seekers, due
probably to climatic conditions and
what is presumed to be more
plentiful supply Of labor, for Of the
100000 persons of foreign birth
in the United States i'll 1920, the
entire south had less than 100000,
while the single state Of New York
had $4,000. Pennsylvania IS87.-

chusetts l.077, 900.

BELINGTON PARK is FREE
CAMPING GROUND YET
MAN is TURNED AWAY


Belington offers one of the two
free camping grounds for tourists
: in the state was announced in
= booklet published by the local
Chamber Of Commerce some time
ago and this booklet was distri-
buted widely. A few days ago
' big touring car driven by pros
porous looking people stopped
near the Park and asked if they
y could pitch their tent for the
' night.
They were referred to one Of
the city officials who told them
to drive on. The people left Be-
lington with bad opinion of the
town.
When only two free camping
grounds are offered in the state
and Belington is one of them it
seems shame that our officials
should be so poorly informed as to
turn away the first man to ask
our hospitality. 1t pays to adj
vertise and what better way Of
advertising could we ask than
that the tourists of our state and
other states know that in the
Park at Belington is free camp
ing ground for them.

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. OF
dered his stone carvers to inscripe
tablet setting forth his conquest OF inc
land. The figures of the ancien'
Egyptian and his men are still visible.

mander Of the allied forces in Asia
Minor. And the passage of CEN
turies from B. c. 1900 to A. ID. 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 or
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
II 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 a 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 conquer0rs 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
ing 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 Edrope.

Government. and Economy.


Charles NJ. Schwab said at din

"The advocates Of government
ownership - government-owned rail-
roads and mines and what-not-do not
shout so loud since Russia showed
the world how the idea has worked
there.
"When Sir Eric Geddes was trying
to Introduce economies into England's
government services last year. he
often noticed, in a passage In White
hall. sentry In uniform. He asked
the sentry one day what his duties
were. The man said he was there
to warn people not to touch the wall.
He had been stationed there, issuing
that warning. for ten years. Whyf
He didn't know.
"Well, Sir Eric Geddes Investigated
the matter. and he found that war
minister's wife had brushed her
sleeve against wet paint on that wall
80 years before. A warning sentry
stationed there that afternoon, had re-
mained ever since."-Detroft Free

MUST USE SLANG WITH CARE
Authors Handling Of Forcsfui Words
Of the Moment May Be Lost
on Future Readers,

II authors who have passed beyond
this vale of tears might return for q
time and re-edit their works, they
would probably eliminate many Of the
slang words which ut the time Of writ
Ing seemed so pungent ard 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 o. Henry's characters defines
a "NIan 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 old-fashioned. "Wise," in the
sense that o. Henry's character used
1t, seems to be as vigorous as ever.
The flavor has lasted.
There are words once used as slang.
whose fiavors have lasted through gen.
eratlons 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 colloQhial Eng
lish without introducing much slang
that will never live. A glossary will
surely be necessary. It 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 mistake Is In Sim
clair Lewis "Babbitt.'
One of the characters. "Babbitt," Is
made to say, II tip my benny to him :"
Does he mean he will doff his benny
and fight, or does he mean he'll tip his
"kelly" 10 him. In token of respect?
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
a paean of praise. He should have
said. II tip my kelly-or lid-or dip
to him." But benny" remains to
puzzle the philologist Of another CEN
tury.
Only words tfRt are actual short
cuts In expression seem to remain In
the language. Their flavor lasts
