UNIVERSAL
TONGUE

WXXHY should we cut out our
w tongues?" inquiries Mrs.
Alice v. Morris in the May num-
Der of the Forum magazine. Not
many people have any very great
desire to cut out their tongues,
literally, of course. But If Mrs.
Morris is right in what she says
in her Forum article. we are-all
Of us-doing Just that every day
Of our lives.
Cutting out our tongues, in other
words, is what we do when we let
slip the chance to create an in.
ternational language which every
body can learn without trouble,
and which win do away with a
good half-or more-of the pres
ent international misunderstand-
ings. Mrs. Morris asks nobody to
abandon his native language. She
simply asks him to learn another
one In which the whole world can
talk with him. She asks for a
detailed study Of all languages. re-

mar, but in psychology Of

DR.. Rudolph Ruedemann, Of the
New York State Museum, Albany,
IN a statement in Popular Science
Monthly, confirming observations
of German scientist, Prof. o.
Mangold.
Listening one evening in the
garden, DIR. Ruedemann observed
"a chorus Of almost unbelievably

in the act of singing" The
worms he thinks, make these
noises by dragging their minute
