Judge i wonan's age by the color
Of her hair or the number OF

Every man has his secret econ
omy. which gives him thrill Of
virtue and 1ustifies him, in his
own eyes, for all his other follies
and prodigalities.
Many man who spends more
than half his salary on gasoline,
tires and garage bills will snoop
in the icebox and groan bitterly
at the sight OF a. wasted dill
pickle or a forgotten sardine.
Many a man who cannot pass
a beggar without dropping some
thing into his hat, and would
give away his last pair of shoes,
will drive a hard bargain with his
charwoman and beat his laundress
down
A man who could not think OF
offering his friends anything less
than a 5O,cent cigar will sneak
out and light his own Corona
Corona with candle or piece
of paper just to save match.
A husband may bring his wife

A man who buys French din

casts pearls before gold .diggers
may secretly save cigar-store
coupons and old bottle corks and

The hardest task of wife's
life Is to get her husband to let
her throw away his old neckties
and frayed sweaters-yet he may
refuse to wear a pair of socks
that have been DARNED, how
ever neatly, or to eat a warmed

No doubt, even Nero's wife

strings. dried laurel wreaths and
frazzled togas hidden among his

died-mementos of his thrifty
moments.
You never can tell what secret
economy a man cherishes down
at the bottom of his heart-nor
just why or when fit of fru-
gality may strike him.
But you may be practically
sure that it is something utterly
trivial and useless-just a sweet
hyacinth with which he feeds his

NlHE question Of world lam
i guage" is in agitation again.
The other day, at conference
of the Interparliamentary Union,
Madame La Fontaine, the wife of
the Vice President Of the Belgian
Senate, affirmed that English was
the most likely of all languages
to be finally adopted for universal
intercommunication on this planet.
But she pointed out one defect
which she thought must certainly
be cured before English could be
accepted for universal Use, and
that was its misleading spelling.
The spelling of practically all
English words, she held, must
first be made to closely approx
mate the pronunciation.
But the fundamental need. 1t
seems to me, is less concerned
with the letters used in s2s.lling
than with the sounds that are
made to represent the various
tiers. An English-speaking person
may learn French grammar per-
fectly and acquire a wide vocab-
vi IChCA WOAAot ~ ~
be unable to utter the sounds OF
the language In such a manner
that French people can under
stand what he is saying. The
converse occurs with the French
man trying to speak English. I'm
comprehended sounds, not eccen-
tricities of spelling, nor even COM
pIexity of structure, form the
greatest obstacle to the master
ing of foreign language.
Unification Of Vocal Sounds
"simplified spelling" is less i'm
portant than simplification and
unification of vocal sounds. 1t
is common knowledge that thou
sands of persons can read, and
even write. foreign languages with
ease, although unable to hold a
conversation in them. The in.
Yentors of the various artificial
languages that have entered the
lists for the world prize have
been wise in paying much atten-
ton to this essential matter OF
VocaliZation.
But there Is another great diff

a language as it is proposed to

world, in addition to each ones

language with a historic past,
and possessing a rich literature,
like English, French, German,
Italian, it would gain an enor-
NOUS advantage over others for
the spread of it's ideals in every
form-literary, political, social.

But If you treat all men alike,
II means that your mind has
learned to stand erect and sees
beyond the petty values of our
clumsy code into the vast vistas
of Gods greater plan.
Then does this mean that all
men are ALIKE-all EQUALLY
GIFTED?
No, 1t doesn't. All men aren't
alike, or equally gifted. But that
isn't their fault and shouldn't be
held against them.
Just as some are born with
stronger or more agile bodies, so
some are born with stronger and
more agile minds.
But that doesn't give such men
a right to snub or brow beat
their fellows. 1t simply places a
greater responsibility upon them
to be considerate toward their
less-fortunate brothers. and more
helpful to the world in general.
