Flagpole sitting is about the most
useless avocation one can think Of.

publicity to quite a few.
Walking not only is one of the

Graf Zeppelin FLIGHT

THE Graf Zeppelin is ready to
4 start on her way to America,
with nineteen paying passengers, a
crew of forty and female gorilla
as human freight, and a grand
piano to prove her capacity as
commerce carrier.
Weather permitting, she will
reach New York within seventy or
eighty hours after leaving Fried
richshafen, and will leave on her
Journey four days later.
Thirty years ago, 800 per cent of
the human race believed that such
thing was impossible, which shows
what belief amounts to.

Senators of the interests

1t has become the custom to say of certain public
men, they represent the interests"
To many people this is a mere phrase with no
particular meaning
Just now there is a good example of what the
phrase does mean. The state of North Carolina is
represented by two veteran senator's Simmons and
Overman. They are both gentle, kindly men, with no
cruelty in their dispositions If they happneed to
have grandchildren of school age they would not put
them into a cotton mill to work ten or twelve hours
a day or night.
Yet both these senators feel it necessary to op-
pose by speech and vote the resolution introduced by
Senator Wheeler to Investigate labor conditions in
North Carolina. Both Of these senators have for
years opposed federal legislation which would regu-
late child labor
The people who own mills in North Carolina have
not wanted such regulation and have fallen back on
the legal pretex that it is opposed to the doctrine
Of state rights The state being conceded the right
to make such regulations has refrained from doing
so, for the same reasons.
Senator Overman, in opposing any investigation
goes back to the transparent DOGGY of the red men
ace He fears "agtators' and even drags in poor
old Moscow. But the children and mothers who came
from the mill strikes to plead with him at the capital
we're not Russians
Oyerman in this instance does not represent the
people of North Carolina. He represents special in

Professor Craigie knows his p's
and as. AS Oriel professor at OK
ford, he was knighted by King
George for his work in bringing the

The Oxford dictionary contains a
record Of 414 1926 words, with 228,-
100000 letters and rig, -es for the
whole and Sir William edited the
final sixth of it.
Now he's engaged in another gi-
gantic task and he's going to in
clude in his American dictionary a
whole raft of words and expressions
that never say themselves in die
tionary print before. Among the
expressions which were once slang
but no longer are Ito make ones
pile" ito strike off,"'"to trade off,"
ito take a back seat" boss" ito
catch on" ito cave in" ITO face the
music" TO have a good time" Ito

And that's only the beginning. 1t

get FLAT tire" "hunky dory," "bozo,"

NoRC1464 W
SAN BENITO, April 2o.-Charles
Whit Of the San Benito high
school won the district typewriting
contest and broke the previous rec
ord held by a McAllen student at
the district typewriting contest
held at Kingsville Friday under
the auspices Of the Texas College
of Arts and Industries formerly
the South Texas State Teachers
college,. Whit defeated Al on
testants from Kingsville, Beeville,
Kennedy, Laredo, Valley towns and
other places in order to take first
place in the singles" contest. Whit
established a new district type
writing record at the meet by
writing 81 1915 words pei min
ute. The previous record Of 81
words per minute was made last
year by Brooks Smith of Meal
len, who also won the state champ
ionship last year and established
a new state record of So words per
minute.
Whit will enter the state type

ada. right across from Niagara
Falls. A free trip and return to
this contest was the prize offered
to the winner of the district con-
test. According to observers at
the typewriting meet just held at
Kingsville and who saw Whit at
work on the machine, he has a
good chance to win the state con-
test and thus be eligible to enter
the national contest which will be
held soon after the state tourna-
ment.
A team from Donna won first
place as a typewriting team, while
Whit and Bob Lawton, his par
ner, took second place in this divi-
sion. Y. T. Yoe, superintendent of
San Benito schools, accompanied
the San Benito entries to Kings
vile.

FaUors Slang of u S.
BY ROY J. B
Central Press Staff Writer

CHICAGO, April 20.-Modern
youth is rewriting the dictionary
and all the kings philologistS and
PSYCHOLOGISTS can't prevent it.
1t may take a century or SO to
their w~ise-cracking boy friends who
are giving birth to such expressions
as ''baloney," "razzberries" and
"whopee" today will have their
slang in the dictionaries Of tomor-
row.
There is no doubt that it is the
young people with their reckless use
of all kinds Of slang terms who give
life and spirit to the language, and
make it an effective medium for
conveying thought, according to
Prof. Sir William A. Craigie, M. A.
LID, Lift, D. Of Oxford university,
who is now working on an Ameri-
can dictionary at the University OF
Chicago.
Amt it the trutn-
Professor Craigie IS regarded as
the greatest dictionary-maker in the
world, and he ought to know.
II thoroughly approve OF Ameri-
can slang" he says. 1T is often
carried to excess, but many current
colloquial phrases are extremely apt
and win the admiration Of even the
most strict iurist.
The real test Of slang is in its
utility. If a slang phrase fills a
long felt want, it will cease to be
slang and will go into the language.
There are American expressions of
comparatively recent vintage which
have already been adopted wherever
English is spokn, and they are so
particularly expressive that one
wonders how the idea vas expressed
before they were invented.
IAN instance Of this is the phrase,
It's up to you There is no other
group of English words to convey
SO concisely this exact shade of
meaning. Slang phrases of this kind
must obviously be included in a die
tionary of American English"
u. S. Dictionaries Incomplete
Webster's dictionary has become
obsolete in many respects, according
to Professor Craigie. Besides being
incomplete in its picture Of the
American language at the time it
was finished in 1928, it was actual
ly ~supercilious toward good Amer
lean words. It omitted such terms
as prairie, paleface, pecan, political
platform, pow-WoW, punk and pone,
except in a supplementary leaf.
Not only did makers of American
dictionaries from Webster on ig-
more many perfectly good American
words but they aseribed many
Americanisms to English origins.
Professor Craigie is here to rectify
all these matters. Already he has
been at work at the University of
Chicago two years on his historical
dictionary Of American English. He
still has about eight years of labor
ahead of him, excepting from the
