ANCIENT D. C..
DIALECT is
FOUND

E1troct from the Journal of thu
Washington Pathological Societa
for June, 1928, transcribed b2
Arlington Hall:
" NGLISH was the language
~ spoken in Washington in
1923, but residents of the
city appear to have understood
a dialect called Street Car This
was not a written language, and
few specimens have come down
to us, among which is the phrase
"Hevvya fez." Professor ThomD-
son is Of the opinion that this
phrase, freely translated, means
please let me have your fares"
DR.. Johnson points out that there
existed in 1928 cult of brick
layers or stone-cutters known as
Shriners, who wore cap called
a fez, and contends that the words
"HeVvya feZ" constituted saluta-
ton spoken to the members Of
the Shriners' society. The theory
of DIR. Johnson is not accepted
generally and the translation Of
Professor thompson is consider
ed correct.
The words "Haykid gitoffarthar
1 krakya bean" are of interest
since they form the longest
known sentence in Street Car
having continuity of idea.
thought that the sentence under
consideration is in the nature of
al admonition, which may be
translated thus: Young man,
leave the car; in the event of a.
refusal I shall resort to force"
Other examples. not clearly un-
derstood, are "Aliffer ZOO, ''Alof-
fer bawlpark" and "Fezzenbox,"
the last probably being a direction
to deposit the sum fixed by the
tariff of passenger fees in a
receptacle provided for that pur-
pose.
