lido IS UNIVERSAL
LANGUAGE PROPOSED
Priest Says It Can Be Learned
Easily and Has No
Variations.
BY the Associa ted Press.

-
CLEVELAND, November %. = A
new universal language, lido, which
he terms "the most perfect language
in existence" is being advocated by
the Rev. F. L. Odenbach. seismograph
observer of John Carroll University
here.
Speaking recently of lido, Father
Odenbach said: 1.-THE telephone and
radio have brought the peoples Of
but the scenes enacted are sugges-
tive of what must have happened at
the Tower Of Babel. The remedy,
however, is in lido, language which
may be learned at home in a few
months. The salient features Of this
new and perfect vehicle Of thought
follow: The alphabet is the English
one, with a single sound for each
letter; the spelling is absolutely
phonetic; every word has but one in
variable meaning.
"The accent is governed by a single
rule: The infinitive form has the
accent on the last syllable; all other
words Of more than one syllable on
the last but one.
There are but 20 grammatical
endings to be learned by heart. All
nouns end in o. all adjectives in
"A and all adverbs in e. The rest
arc used for the conjugation of the
verb.
"A dictionary of 10000 roots, with
about rs suffixes. forms the material
of this auxiliary language. The lido
dictionary thus puts at our disposal
some 10000 words, twice as many as
Shakespeare used.
"Since the roots were all chosen
from the living cultured languages,
Americans and the English will
recognize 79 per cent Of the words
at first sight, the Germans 81 per
cent, the French 81 per cent and
Spaniards 70 per cent. There are no
exceptions in it's grammar"

GYPSIES OF WORLD
SEEN AS DYING OUT
Nomadic Tribes of Europe Unable
to Keep Pace With Modern
Civilization.
Correspondence OF the Associs ted Press.


BUDAPEST, October 26.-The gyp-
sizes of the world are said to be dying
out. This is especially true of the
nomadic tribes which have roamed
about Europe since the beginning Of
the fourteenth century They have
not been able to keep pace with mod
ern civilization.
While definite figures a.e lacking
it has been estimated that today. in
all countries, there are less than
100000 gypsies. while % years ago
there were more than a million scat
tered about the earth's surface. Hun
gary and Rumania have today over
half the gypsy population of the
world. OF these approximately 100,-
600 speak only the gypsy language.
There are gypsy settlements in
both Hungary and Rumania, as well
as other European countries, where
the gypsy has settled down, entering
trade in the villages. tilling the soil
or serving as musicians and singers.
But there are still many thousands
wandering over the continent and
eking out an existence by fortune
telling, giving musical concerts or
making minor repairs for the house.
wife encountered on the way.
The war is responsible for the. de-
crease in the number of nomadic
gypsies in Europe, it is declared.
During the years that the armies
fought across one country after an
other the wandering gypsy was
driven from his favorite fields of
travel, and he has never come back"
in numbers anything like those which
existed prior to 1914.

MANY RACES MIX THERE.
Capital of Abyssinia Reminds
Writer of Wembley Exhibition.
DWELL, in the Century Magazin.

e. A. Powell, In the century Magazine.
Were a man to seat himself on a
magic carpet and be dropped without
warning into Ads Abeda, the capital
of Abyssinia, he might guess for
day he was. or to determine what
nation the place belonged.
If he argued from the dense euca-
lyptus forest which almost conceals
the city beneath a sea of foliage, and
from the purple mountains that rise
behind it, he might think he was in
southern California; the vast area of
the market place, jammed with horses,
donkeys, mules and camels, would
certainly remind him of the MAZDA
at Teheran; the Indian and Arab
merchants in their striped robes and
flaming turbans, seated cross-legged
before little shops whose dim inter
iors breathe out strange, aromatic
odors. might take him back to Bag
dad; the half-naked Gourages, with
their mighty sinews, the dgnified
Abyssinfans wrapped in Roman
togas, the fierce-faced Gala warriors
with their spears. their curved
swords, their leathern shields. would
suggest, without actually resembling,
those strange peoples which drift
into Bokhara and Samarkand.
But after he had noted these, and
the European merchants in jodhpores
and white sun hats, and the Indian
sowars with scarlet pennons fiutter-
ing from their lance tips, and haugh-
ty native grandees astride of mules
caparisoned in silks and velvets, and
hite-cloaked women whose languor-
Gus eyes peer out at the stranger
from the narrow slit between their
wells and their huge slouch hats. and
soldiers of the ras' bodyguard in
puttees and shorts and khaki helmets
he would decide. by the process of
deduction, that the only place on
earth which could possibly produce
such a medley of types and races was
the Wembley exhibition.

U. S. LEAGUE OFFICIAL
PROVES RARE DIPLOMAT
jeremiah Smith Appeases Angry
Jeritza Without Loss
of Dignity.

Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Daily News
BUDAPEST, Hungary, October
25.-Jeremiah Smith, American COM
missioner general, who supervises
the application Of the League of Ma
ton loan to Hungary, was called
upon recently to solve a problem
not of an economic nature, but quite
as difficult as any concerned with
the rehabilitation of Hungary. The
problem arose through a whim of
Marie Jeritza, opera star. AS her
conflict with Alfred Piccaver shows,
Jeritza has all the temperament sup
posed to be peculiar to prima
donna. And she enjoys as much pop
ularity in Budapest as in Vienna or
Chicago or New York. When offered
a large sum recently to sing in Hun
gary's capital she accepted on condi-
tion that she might have her usual
apartment overlook the Danube.
AS it happened jeremiah Smith was
quartered not only in the hotel ia
vored by JeritZa, but in the very
apartment she chose to call hers.
Here was a case for real diplomacy.
Jeremiah Smith is considered to be
somebody IN Budapest and could not
be ousted for an opera, singer-even
Jeritza. Would Jeritza not conde-
scend to occupy some other apart
ment, even an entire floor? Most
emphatically Jeritza would not. Her
old apartment or no song was her
ultimatum.
Some American officials were ap-
preached but they .scorned the idea
of even suggesting that jeremiah
Smith be moved. But somehow the
news came to jeremiah Smiths ears.
The rest was easy. The commits
sioner general called in the manager
of the hotel and regretfully COM
planned that his rooms were not sat
isfactory. Would it be possible to
show him something better and have
him changed?
The manager beamed. He quickly
changed jeremiah Smith to another
apartment. And Jeritza came and
sang.

Lifting of Tariff Fails to Hurt

in Evidence.
of the. Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 1.-The British
motor car. industry, which appeared
as though the sleep OF death was
nigh when the tariff against foreign
cars was lifted last Spring, must
have been merely playing possum.
Never has 1t been a more robust, ac-
than when the annual motor show at
Olympia revealed a multitude. OF glis-s
tening cars. &.
That there Is fierce competition
from without the country, as well as
within, one could see at glance.
Under the vast arched roof of Olym-
pia stood French cars, American
cars, Dutch cars. Italian cars; all
eager for place in the occasional
English sun. But there were more
British models than ever before, and
they were, many Of them. cheaper.
Especially has there been q welcome
decline in the price of the SIN alle~
cars that appeal to men of moderate
purse.
Prices Above u. 3.
Automobile prices are still consiG
erably higher here than in the Unitea
States. Most likely they always will
be. for no such gigantic mass produc'
tion as goes on in America is even
contemplated on this side. But the
day when only the wealthy or near
wealthy of Europe could afford auto
mobiles is gone. The light car-tiny
in size, puny in horsepower it
may seem to Americans-has made
Europe's internal combustion era a
democratic one. The cars of seven
persons and capable Of getting 80
miles and more out of a gallon. are
priced this year under $3.50. They
have four-wheel brakes, low-pressure
balloon tires and many of the other
up-to-the-lninute accessories.
Light Car Develops.
Above this baby car type which be-
comes increasingly popular, there are,
generally speaking. three grades
There is the small car of IL to 15
horsepower. the medium car with
power ranging up to 20 horsepower
and then the more expensive,

alton Of So per horsepower per year
and the high cost of petrol have
given the light car it's chance to de-
velop. and the makers have done
such a good job of adjusting the
products to these conditions that the
low power automobile is probably a
permanent thing in England. The
roads are almost all good. and the
grades moderate. so that cars of
great pulling strength are little
needed.
American Cars Popular.
American cars. especially those of
the middle class, which sell in the
United States at between $1,000 and
$4,000. continue to be popular in
England. There is to some extent.
however, a prejudice against them
because they are American cars.
Some rail at them as too standard
led and lacking in the finish and
comfort of European products. But
most of the prejudice is an outgrowth
of postwar economic conditions and
the growth of ardent nationalism
now so apparent throughout Europe

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
CREDIT UNIONS.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


A form of financial organization
about which too little is known is the
Credit Union. In a way the Credit
Union is analogous to the building
and loan association. Both these in
stitutions are primarily designed to
help those of small capital or, some
times, of no capital at all. The build
ing and loan makes it possible for
the wage Garner to borrow money to
build a home and to pay off the loan
In small installments out of savings
from his wages or salary. The Credit
Union enables the wage Garner, the
with very limited capital to borrow
money for various purposes, when
without the union he would be un-
aDle to borrow at all or only at ruin
Gus rates.
State Laws Diner.
The Credit Union is comparatively
new thing in the United States. 1t
originated on the other side. The
various States have different laws
governing the formation of these
unions, but the general principles
are the same. Massachusetts and
North carolina We're among the
pioneers in the movement.
III u 6eHeTdi way a credit union has
peen defined as "co-operative asso-
ciation whose objects are % to pro-
mote thrift among its members, and
W TO provide its members with
credit facilities" Another authority
mas called credit union "a bank
IN miniature In every case the union
operates under State authority and
supervision and conforms to certain
general regulations prescribed by the
State authorities. 1t mobilizes .ho
the savings of its members, savings
so small individually as TO appear
hardly worth while, and makes loans
so small as to fall without the prov
lnce of the commercial bank
Aid for Special Groups.
Credit unions are organized Tor .he
most part by a particular group
either engaged in the same line oil
industry or living in the same neigh
borhood. In Massachusetts and in
the industrial States of the North
p!oyesf of corporations. III North
Carolina and in the agricultural
States of the South and the West they
il would seem that this business OF
making small loans on individual
credit involved a good deal of risk
but the records show that the risk
is very small. In fact, the results
compare very favorably with those
of the building and loan, and that is
high praise.
