Are YouLip-lazy? Most Of Us Are!

Philadelphia. April 21.-Lip-Lazi-
ness is Americas most prevalent dis
ease.
Millions already have il and they
are rapidly injecting others. Before
long the scourge will be nationwide.
Yet most of its victims do nothing
about it.
So a group of educators meeting
at the Philadelphia Forum, have de-
cided to stay the inroads of this dis
ease, by turning the spotlight OF puo-
licity on its evils.
Chief of this group is Mrs. Beatrice
Forbes-Robertson Hale. former ac-
tress, author and lecturer. who styles
herself an English American. To
save her children from the epidemic,
she is having them educated abroad.
"The symptoms Of this disease"
says Mrs. Hale, "vary throughout
the country.
an New York it can be found in
the drgot of the young man who
talks about that 'skoit on Twenty
thoid street when referring to girl
on 23rd street.
"In New England it is manifested
by saying 'wuzz' when one means

"In the Middle West, by dropping
the t. out of the language: 'wud do
y'wan' for what do you want In a
recent trip through the inland states.
l did not hear the letter t. pro-
nounced, except when it began a
word.
"And in the Far West, by the con.
slant use of such terms as You bet
to cover every conceivable reply to
any conceivable question.
with these symptoms comes the
poker face-the shell behind which
the American business man tries to
hide his thoughts and emotions.
"There is a shutting OF the teeth:
and attempt to conserve energy, and
the result-a muffled speech.
women often go to the other ex.
IRENE. In an attempt to be light and
gay, they talk above the noise about
them-screaming, screeching.
"The art of conversation. carefully
developed abroad, seems to be en-
tirely dead here. And the chief rea-
son is. think, is that We suffer from
a low-brOw complex. 1t seems to be
the common belief that it is superior
to be inferior. j..
ave are afraid of being called
high-brow. So we assume a careless
speech. In England a mans speech
marks him. No one speaks a diction
that is beneath him. so the standard
of the spoken English has been kept
up to that of the written.
"But in America it seems to make
little difference how one speaks. For
lip-laziness is getting the better of the
nation"
Professor Samuel A. King, Of Bryn
Mawr. a girls college, agrees with
Mrs. Hale.

"Many American girls" he says,
"are without charm as consequence
of their sloeenly diction and unculti-
waited voices. They seem to forget
tht it is just as essential to please
the ear as the eye. Some Of them
will spend years abroad perfectins
their diction in Italian and French,
but they never give their own tongue
a thought"
The most common defects OF or
speech, the professor points out, are
technically known as:
Shifting Nasality.
Partial Nasality.
Throaty Constituency.
The cure for all this lip-raziness:
Training in proper speech from
childhood on. these experts say. for
it is difficult TO change the speech OF
adults.
So if you want the next generation
to be saved from Americas greatest
epidemic, begin training 1T now.
