POWER AND NATIONAL WEALTH

Our prosperity rests upon a solid
basis OF power. The STEADY upward
trend in wages and living standards
has been the direct result OF the in
creased productivity of each worker.
At the present time every Amer
lean worker has, on the average,
four and one-half horsepower at ms
command. In Great Britain the
worker has but one. And the ma
tional wealth of each nation Is IN al
most direct ratio to this.
The United States has led the way
in power development. We have
the highest per capita investment in
machinery of any nation in the
world. Instead OF depending on the
strength of his back, the modern
American worker guides a machine
capable of doing a tremendous
volume of work at low cost.

roads?" The matter upon being
brought to the attention of telephone
officials, prompted Walter S. Clifford,
head of the Bell Telephone System to
issue the following statement:
For some years the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
has been ready to install telephone
service on moving trains and about
two years ago had the matter up
actively w..h two Of the leading rail.
road systems in the country. Both
railroads decided against it as it was
not considered commercially practical.
II any railroad wishes to give such
service on its trains and bear the
necessary cost of it, we shall be very
happy to install it and connect it with
the lines of the Bell System"

Arabic Language Makes
No Use of the Novels

In Arabic, vowels are not repre-
scented at all. The English word 'cat-
alogue" would be spelled "ctlg" in
Arabic characters. If the reader did
not know the word, he could recognize
it only by the context.
Although the Roman alphabet may
not be ideally adapted to the Turkish
language, it's practicability is proved
by the fact that both the Hungarians
and the Firms. whose languages are
closely related to Turkish, have used
it for generations.
Turkish written In Roman. charac-
tiers looks slightly like Italian. 1t has
the advantage over English and
French in that 1t is completely pho
netic. There are no silent letters and
every letter always has the same
sound wherever it appears.
The Persian language, which also
uses the Arabic alphabet, would like
wise be greatly benefited by change
similar to that made In Turkey. The
small republic of Azerbaijan on the
Caspian sea, one Of the Union Of Sow
let Republics, is already using Roman
letters, and it is expected that the
other Tartar and Turcoman republics
will follow subtitle Living Age.

The month of June, 1929, was
marked by three major events:
The signing of the reparations bill;
passing and signing of Farm Relief
Bill; the long awaited public ex-
pressions of the new policies be-
tween Britain and the United States.
These expressions were made by
Premier Macdonald of England and
Ambassador Dawes, newly appointed
from the United States to England.
The declaration of British friend
ship and good will towards America
was made by Premier Macdonald at
Lossiemouth, Scotland, that of Am
bassador Dawes at the Pilgrims
Dinner in London. The new Min
lister of Foreign Affairs of England,
Mr.. Henderson, said in introducing

pie living on the large island of 1Soe-

Lake Maclaren and the Salt lake.
Some of the expressions are slang
taken from pure Swedish, an exam
