NEW WORDS
ARE COINED
BY IRISH

IN UBLIN,-The ancient Irish
language is being brought
- up to date to serve the
needs Of the Irish Free State.
One of the great difficulties has
been to compose new words for
modern things. There is, for ex-
ample, no Irish word for motor
car, wireless, telephone, cocktail,
silk stockings, and 50 forth. How
are such words composed?
They are composed in several
ways. The first method is by
forming descriptive term in
Irish for the object. This is a
method which is often cumber-
some, but in some instances quite
neat. For example, a bicycle is
in Irish "rotha," meaning literally
"a Wheel" which is sometimes
used in English instead of the
word bicycle"
Again, matches" are called Isl
pinsolius," little sticks of light"
a railway" Is "botha arain,"
which means road Of iron," just
like the French ''chemin de fer"
rouge" is translated by the Irish
word for red, "dearg."
The second way is to take over
the English or other foreign
word, and give it the inflexions it
would have II it were Irish. Thus,
the word post" has been assimi.
lated. Post office is "ofig ma
puisN" 'pist" being the genitive
case of post according to Irish
grammar. Here it might be noted
that, If the word has been al
ready borrowed In the English
language, the rule Is to take the
original word. be 1t Greek or
Latin, and not the Anglicized
form of 1t.
Often the new Irish word looks
quite different from the original,
for the Irish alphabet has only
eighteen letters. There is nc Irish
], K, Q, V, w, X, Y or q, and
combinations and notifications of
other letters have to be used to
give these sounds.
The language itself has many
pecllarittes, which surprise those
used to English, French or Ger
man. 1t has. for instance, no
verb Ito have" How can one get
on without this verb?

City schools is started In the
fifth grade and is compulsory.
The course is to be obtained in
all local junior and senior high
schools, and in one, Manual
Training High School, 1t is a re-
quirement that a girl take two
years of the study for gradua-
ton.
More girls are enrolled than
ever before, according to Miss
Hussey.
Have you taken a course in
home economics?" is a question
all young men should ask their
prospective brides when propos-
ing, instead of the customary ''Do
you dancer" or do you like
jazz" she contends.

w sonality come together
from one individual to another to
form it? What holds it firm,
once 1t is formed?
II do not believe that 1t is the
result of propinquity, helped by
interests that are similar.
1T is different from love, and
yet 1t seems to imply affection as
well as good will.
Genuine friendship is rare
enough. Why?"
A man who signs himself
Happy" wrote me this. read
his letter while on my way to the
studio of the Baroness Wenner.

The none-too-many-years Of the
Baroness have been spent In init
mate contact with people. For
the good Of her canvassers she
has sifted the contents of many
hearts. So / gave her the letter
to read and asked her what,
among the siftings, she has found
that makes friendship.
Happy is right" she de-
clared. Genuine friendship Is
rarer than genuine love and
that Is rare indeed! There's a
bit Of truth in the saying that
love Is blind, for it refuses to see
the fault of it's object. Or if it
does, 1t fastens itself upon those
faults with a strange perserver-

OUR FRIENDSHIPS SEEN AS
MIRRORS OF OURSELVES
By Lucy Lowell.
Lucy Lowell Says Intimacy Results When
Own Qualities in Another.

; ity and exists because of them.
Love, 1t seems to me, seeks
qualities in it's object different
from those In the one who loves,
and it attempts to add them to
those already existing.
THAT is the nature of love
the making of perfect whole
from two halves.
But friendship looks for itself.
When it finds in another it's own
qualities, then it discovers under
standing and consequent sym
pathy. These two, believe,
fashion friendship.
1.-TWO persons may have like
interests, but their ambitions and
sense of values may be so DIFF
ferent that there can be no actual
understanding and therefore no
friendship.
They may be thrown together
all their lives, bound perhaps by.
ties of blood-brothers and sisters
even-and yet never touch the
edge of sympathy, one for the
other.
Then two individuals may meet
casually and exchange only a word
and go their ways, never to see
each other again, but thinking
always, He was one of my kind
he understood-he is my true
friend and always my life shall
be richer for the knowledge"
Perhaps this answers the Ques-
ton Of my friend Happy"
never have seen Happy
probably never shall-but I can
call him friend" If he agrees
with the idea of the Baroness he
will understand.

JAZZ MUSIC REIGN DOOMED

''It is for those who desire excite
ment more than art.
But jazz is passing. It has
served a useful purpose in pro
viding an outlet for the feelings
of excitement resulting from the
world war and perhaps prevented
these feelings from taking a more
dangerous FORM
Theoretically, I suppose" con-
tinued Prof Dykema, Jazz is
music, for it has the three re-
quirements of harmony, melody
and rhythm. But in the truel'
sense it is not music, for it lacks
art, and art is vital to real music
In jazz the rhythm is everything,
and both harmony and melody
are sacrificed.
Whether it is music or not,
however," continued Prof. by.
kema. jazz has served it's pur--
pose"

Qualms of fear which every

They will not have to dig

That is, it will be, if the hus-

home economics course offered in
local public schools.
./Home-just one words the
aim Of the home economics
course, according to Miss Anna
ID. Hussey, supervisor of the
home economics course in the
public schools. The value of a
properly conducted home and the
Joy of keeping such home
beautiful and clean is being
stressed in all schools this year
more than ever before, Miss
Hussey says.
'Girls are taught to love beauty
and search for it, but they also
ere taught to find beautiful
i things at an inexpensive cost"

Young men contemplating get
