Hard to Keep Up

Each word, of course. requires a
definition. And this is what keeps
me hopping all day long. In order
to keep abreast of this Kaleidoscope
industry our staff has to peruse the
myriad Of pages that are published
daily about radio today-the maya
zines, the newspapers, the new
books, technical charts. prospectuses,
catalogs and the radio supplements.
Almost each one contains some
fresh insight into the mystery of
the micrcphone.
Everyone naturally desires to
know what the latest word is that
has been added to the language.
But hope no radio fan perpetuates
Rsuch mischief upon me, because
shall have to postpone the answer
until can read the latest editions
of the papers.

Z S4Qe DOWN.
Never in the history of science has
an invention gripped the fancy and
interest of the people as has the
magic Of the air. Naturally, brand
new vocabulary had to spring into
existence to cope with the shadings
of technique in this new field, that.
had to be labeled and expressed.
Radio has peppered the whole die
tionary with new words from "auto-
dyne" to '.zymo-dyne." There are
more than two hundred new words
wit hthe prefix OF radio alone
I haven't been able to count all
of these new word-coinages; they
pour over my desk too fast. But /
don't think it would be amiss to
state that the language has been
enriched in one way or another by
over five thousand vocabulary terms.
The modern dictionary has become
almost code book Of radio.
Greatest Word Mint
In fact, radio has been the great.
est stimulus to the language since
the war The war gave rise to about
six thousand words. but these were
not all purely military. They added
to the chemical, political and social
vocabularies as weIl.
Therefore. with radio just in it's
infancy and diffusing itself all
through our lexicon, we can well
imagine that it will surpass all other
sources of word-minting as time
rolls on.
Has radio increased our personal
vocabularies?
I believe that the average person
ms larger store of words than he
is ever given credit for. Relative
to radio, believe that every fan
shat is, the dyed in-the-ether variety
has Increased his vocabulary at

The School Building Bill.

Following Il hearing which disclosed
the substantial facts relating to the
Districts urgent school needs. the
Joint congressional committee on Dis
trict school legislation yesterday
agreed TO present q favorable report
to the two houses upon the pend
ing fve-year building program bill.
This measure Contemplates the ex-
penditure within five years Of approx
mately $4,000, 900 for the construction
Of schoolhouses to give a seat to every
child of school age in the District

abandonment of Il buildings that

rated as unsuitable and render unnec.
esaary all part-time instruction. This
program, if faithfully carried out, will.
in short, give the District for the first
time in its history a complete school
equipment
It is gratifying that the joint com
mittee at its session yesterday did not
permit the obscuring of the question
Of urgent school building provision by
the consideration of differences of
opinion regarding school organization
and administration. Whatever the
educational procedure may be. the
need Of an extraordinary building pro-
gram is obvious. In later years a diff

rary makeshift quarters and the aban-
donment of insanitary schoOlrooms.
This can be done only by agreement
upon a wholesale building program.
Six weeks remain of the present
session of Congress, weeks that will
be filled with work by both houses,
proceeding under high pressure. The
District has several urgently impor-
tant measures now on the calendars.
1t hopes for action upon all of them.
None, however, reaches the welfare
of the community more surely and
fully than this bill to give the Capital
community its required public educa-
ton plant, so often recommended and
now agreed upon in principle and in
detail by the leaders of local legisla-
ton in both houses. With an entire
absence of objection on the score of
need and wisdom OF immediate enact.
ment action upon this bill would seem
to be well assured.

No General Hard Coal Strike.

With IS Of the 80 local unions Of
District No. l of the United Mine
Workers jurisdiction voting against
the general strike in support of the
walkout of 1900 men in the anthra-
cite district, the prospect for con
tinued cual-mining brightens. Indeed
the menace of a general suspension of
work would seem to be definitely
passed.
These II 900 men struck without
authority from their union They
walked out Of the mines on q griev-
ance which they refused to submit TO
decision. The strike was repudiated
by the organization leaders, and at
one time it appeared probable that
fully 10000 men would join the strike
in sympathy. But the regular pro-
cedure prevailed. and the question Of
tually tie up the hard-coal industry,
was submitted 10 the locals with the
result just stated.
Groups of the anthracite miners
have been striking off and on ever
since the settlement of the general
strike Of 1922. Here the men OF a
single colliery walked out. There a
group of mines would be suddenly
made idle. Cancellation boards and
union officers have been kept con.
tinually busy III the anthracite field
settling these disputes. which have in
the aggregate taken heavy toll in
terms Of coal production, though at
no time has the field been as much as
90 per cent idle.
The public is naturally concerned
in these manifestations of dissatisfac-
ton with existing working conditions.
The perennial menace of a complete
suspension of hard-coal mining has
not been allayed by the settlements of
1922, but it is reassuring to find the
local unions now refusing TO sanction
a general strike for which there is no
conceivable warrant and which would
even SO late in the season operate dis
astrously against the public welfare.

Trotsky Finally Ousted.

Formal custer of Leon Trotsky as
chairman of the revolutionary war
council at Moscow has been effected
by a vote of so to in the central
committee of the Communist party of
Russia. Cited to appear before the
committee for answer to what was
virtually an indictment, Trotsky
wrote a letter from the suburban
estate Where he is resting" giving
illness as his reason for non-appear-
ance, and, though denying the
charges, admitting that the condition
Of affairs seems to demand that he
be relieved of his post. Thus Trotsky
pleaded not guilty, but consented to
punishment.
The attack upon Trotsky by his
former associates in the revolutionary
council has been so well prepared that
the public has failed to show any re-
action in his favor. Ever since he
published his two-volume work en-
titled 1871" in which he reviewed
the history of the revolution and as
sailed the position of the present
triumvirate, which has succeeded to
Lenin's power, Trotsky has been de-
clining in favor. He is accused of in
subordination to party discipline. He,
on the other hand, has striven for re-
forms within the revolutionary party.
He is now ousted, primarily on the
aground that his activities against the
Evening star., 1925-01-21

party have encouraged the "burgeoise
countries abroad" to believe that the
bolshevik regime is in danger Of fall
ing to pieces.
AT one time it was believed that a
move to GUST TrOtsky from his post of
authority would lead to a military re-
volt against the Communist govern
ment. But precautions have apparent
ly been taken to lessen the shock to
his own followers. The campaign
against him has been in progress for
months. His antagonists have main
tained a constant fire of criticism in
the columns Of the Soviet controlled
press. Ill health has undoubtedly
sapped Trotsky's vigor, and he has
been unable to fight back as effective
ly as formerly.
Elimination of Trotsky NAV not
change the situation at Moscow as re-
spects the relations of the Soviet to
other governments. A new regime is
in power, with a firm hold upon the
Communist party and evidently upon
the government itself. The gradual
change of policy begun by Lenin when
he found that pure communism would
not work is still in progress. That the
bolshevik organization is weakened,
however, cannot be questioned. 1t
has now been maintained for seven
and a quarter years. Whether it will
complete a decade is a question. Trot-
sky's elimination is a symptom that
suggests that by November, 1927, the
decennial Of the Communist revolt, "a
great change will have occurred in
Russia
