New Words Absorbed
bV Primitive Tongues

New York, Sept. Is R-How a
primitive language absorbs modern
words. such as garter" was des-
cribed today before the Information
al Congress of Americanists by Rev.
Bernard Halle, of Santa Fe, N. NJ.
He presented a paper on Navajo
Indian Verbal Stems"
He illustrated with the word
'beestl'o." meaning lit is tied" The
last three letters OF this word repre-
sent a Navajo stem which appears
in nouns for grass and for cord.
Therefore in using the word the
Navajo always refers to a cord OF
some sort, regardless of material.
so the Navajo extends the stem
to express numerous forms of ty-
ing, such as wearing a charm tied
in the hair, hitching an animal.
wearing carriers, or baling hay by
hand and machine.

she interposed swiftly.

this rule should apply to all: Make

The woman who spends too much
time on dress has none left for ny

tentative list of my needs.
Nowadays, dress models for gen.
eral wear come from Paris and are
well copied. Fortunately fashions
are marked by simplicity. No more
are they elaborate, but chic in line.
And the line means today more
than anything else. The longer and
flowing line now dictated for eve
ming dress give pictugesqueness.
Choose the Right Jewels
The short dress for street wear is
standardized and slenderized for
practical use And it will take many
a day to dislodge it. American sport
clothes. also, are too beautiful, too
comfortable and too becoming to be
in danger OF the discard. But night
is for romance. flirting and MOON

graceful draperies give a delightful
touch OF femininity whose return In
dress is welcomed by both sexes.

Apropos OF evening dresses with

have heard women criticised for
over-lavish display, while other wo-
men. wearing even more jewelry

former instance sole trouble came
from wearing jewels of many colors
with bright colored dresses: in the
latter instance. while the women in
question wore bright colored dress

lessons for various grades which
continue throughout the school year
and which indicate the manner in
which systematic health training
may be carried on.
For instance, during September
children In the first grade learn
about the importance Of cleaning
the face, hands, neck and ears: In
the second grade. the chief atten-
ton is given to the hair and nails:
in the third grade, to the mouth,
the teeth and the fingers; in the
higher grades, infection from CLOTH
ing. books and human contacts are
studied. as well as the manner In
which the body cells work to over
come disease.
Posture and the Body
In October the lessons are con-
cerned chiefly with the question of
posture and play. The children are
taught about the importance of pay
for mental hygiene and they learn
posture by marching, gymnastics, by
blackboard demonstrations, end by
the study of posture in the school
and on the street.
In the higher grades, special at
tention Is given to the way in which
the body is constructed. and par
ticularly to the development Of the
skeleton and the muscles
In November one of the chief
considerations is the prevention of
colds. The younger grades are told
about fresh air, about the remova
OF outside wraps in the classroom
and about the proper use of a clean
handkerchief.
The middle grades are told about
| the cae of overshoes and wraps.
The higher grades study not only
the development of the breathing
system and OF the blood circuia-
ton, but also about the germs as
ISOLATED with colds, the methods OF
preventing colds through the avoid
ance of contacts and through pro-
per ventilation and clothing.
Such systematic instruction Il
bound to develop more healthfu
citizenry for the future.

New York. Sept. 1S.-Since the
return to more feminine modes in
innate apparel has assumed increas-
ing Importance In a woman's ward
robe.
A few seasons ago the coolie or
Pullman coats gave all lounging
apparel uniformity that may
have made for comfort but GER
tainly not for individuality.
This autumn the lounging garb
is decorative and individual, first
and foremost.
Tea gowns are in favor and
trailing negligees are the first
choice with some smartly clad
women. The pajama suit in its
new feminine versions, with odd
touches to the sleeves and jacket.
Is very smart. Even bed-jackets,
those abbreviated nothings that
can be SO lacy and pretty. are hav-
ing q vogue.
Luxurious Fabrics Used
Negligees are both rich AMI
practical. Satins, charmeusc. bro
cades, Ninon, lace, taffeta and
crepe all are used. Figured prints
take plain colors to give them
contrast. Lines are loose and
flowing and sleeves have tremen-
dous originality Many elbow
length sleeves have trailing length
to end them.
Skirts are apt to follow uneven
hemlines. The short practical
length is the choice for the first
negligee. After that a woman can
choose less useful length, with
perhaps real train to give dig
nifty and beauty.
Chartreuse is one of the new
color choices for intimate APP
parel. Pinks hold a real suprem-
acy, mainly because they are SO
much more flattcring than most
colors
For teatime wear or even for
informal dinners at home there
are some very lovely things.

decoratively colorful is q tea

There is a side train, cut in one

Is the temperature in the school
room conducive to comfort and good
mental activity?
Are the children using their eyes
under proper conditions as to light :?
Is the school furniture properly
adjusted?
Are there any physical defects,
such as poor sight and hearing. that
need to be considered?
DO the pupils have sufficient rest
between strenuous periods of work ?
Is there sufficient time for
luncheon?
Are the pupils unhappy in their
work; if so. is the unhappiness due
to some health condition?

London, Sept. Is R-The position
of daughter to an English politician
is far from being an easy Job. for
the burdens Of the father are visit
ed upon the children.
Leastwise, SO say young women
who occupy these position. In
order that her father may be
ubiquitous, the daughter has to
travel quickly to odd parts of the
country to represent him and speak
for him. She dares not make her
own social program. lest 1t be dis
reupted by the exigencies OF her
fathers routine.
Miss Megan Lloyd-George. for In
stance, is a veritable chip of the old
block. She Is completely at the dis
posal of her fathers call. Her So
cial engagements have often been
upset att he very last moment BY
a summons from her father. She
has never failed him.

state for war, has painted word
picture OF the hectic life Of cabi-
net secretary's daughter. She be-
gan working for her father ut the
age of six when she went from cot
tage to cottage in her fathers con-
stituency, lisping out the appeal:
please vote for Daddy"
This. she declares, vas her first
taste OF public speaking. Even at
this sinue speech she became stage
struck on one occasion, for in cot
tage her nerve failed and the four
words failed to come.
Since that early age she has made
thousands OF speeches. at all vari-
cites Of affairs. She has deputized
for her father at ordinaA speech
meetings, at all sorts of social en-
gagements, and in house to house
Canvassing. and the like.
