Origin of Alphabet Is Traced Back
To 1913 BIC. by American Scientist

Ullman said, have been generally
dated as late as 1900 BIC. and that
date has been widely used In recent
years as the time Of invention Of al
phabetic writing.
But three years ago inscriptions in
Phoenician alphabetic writing almost
as old as the Sinai writings were found
at Byblos, in Syria. The letters Of
these inscriptions were considerably
less crude than the Sinai writing, and
DIR. Ullman points out that such prog
ress in use of the alphabet as these
Phoenician inscriptions show could not
have taken place in one or two cen.
turtles.
The Sinai writings, he says. are
probably quite as old as the most dar-
ing spectators have suggested. From
this he Is inclined to set the origin of
the alphabet at about 1000 Be, name.
ly about the nineteenth century BIC,
or earlier-fully 1000 years earlier
than was commonly believed a few
years ago."
According to DIR. Ullman's conclu.
sions, the Greeks must have got their
alphabet from the Phoenicians much
earlier than the ninth or tenth cen.
fury Be, which is the time generally
accepted by scientists.
1.-THE old Greek tradition" he said,
was that the alphabet was introduced
by Cadmus in 1913 BIC. My view is
that this may be right, and in any
case the twelfth century Is the latest
possible date for the epoch-making
event."
THUS" he concludes, "the Greek
alphabet may have existed at the time
Of the Trojan War, and must have
existed when the Homeric poems were
composed"

Picture a Semitic thinker I'm old
Eevpt porting over a tablet Of Egyp'
tan picture writing. He knows some
thing about the Egyptian hieroglyph'
ics. how the sign for house. for ex'
ample. is q boxlike drawing. vaguely
suggestive of q child's picture Of a
house. Probably he knows how to
write his name in the Egyptian. piec-
ing it together in a series OF simple
signs to make up the sounds. And ne
has an idea.
From one inscription or a single
series of inscriptions, the Semitic, with
a little help, perhaps, from an Egyp'
tian friend, picks out some 22 signs
that represent different consonant
sounds in words. With these few
signs. he believes, kind or writing
can be done that will be easier to spell
out than the picture puzzles OF the
Egyptian. The signs ne mas CHOSEN
as letters are set down In the order or
their appearance on the Egyptian In.
scription. And so the first crude al
phabet is devised and ready FOR
changes and improvements by other
thinkers of many countries.
This theory as to how the alphabet
was invented and how the letters were
set down in order has just been ad'
yanced by DR.. b. L. Ullman of the
University of Chicago. DIR. Ullman.
who presented his theory at q meeting
of Psychologists at Cambridge. believes
that the alphabet may be of greater
antiquity than most scholars have con.
sidered likely.
The Oldest specimens Of writing be.
lieved to be in alphabet form are the
crude Semitic inscriptions found at
Sinai in 1905. These inscriptions. DIR.

Barefoot Boys Draw
Shanghai's Rikishas

In these chilly days Shanghai's
rikisha boys-most of them are men
still go barefoot, or at the most with
only thin sandals of braided straw
between their soles and the pavement.
They have no socks and wear coats or
shirts and loose. baggy trousers gath
cred tight to the ankles. All their gar
ments are of cotton. Many Of the
boys cough horribly and some contract
pneumonia.
Riding in rikishas is more expen-
sive than riding in street cars and
more precarious. The rikisha pullers
invariably overcharge when they can
and as much as they can. The
stranger is their legitimate prey. Also
you run grave risks from the reckless
ness and peculiar lack of foresight
of the man or boy who pulls you. He
takes the most alarming chances and
courts death for his passenger and
wreckage for his 'sha" time and again
from the street cars and flying au-
tomobiles.

fifteenth century, purchased from the
Alphonse Kann collection, from which

because of remarkable breadth of
