Multisyllable Words

English. as Prof Otto Jespersen If
Denmark recently observed, may be
degenerating into a mass Of mono
syllables, but there are many Ian
guages left over which Mark Twain
could have had the kind of fun in
which he INDUCED when he suggest
ed that German words could be made
to serve as suspension bridges across
the widest rivers. There is Finnish,
for instance. While the reader OF an
American newspaper has had flashed
upon him the laconic headline, Jap
King Takes Crown" the Finnish
reader, as the interpreter puts 1t, is
still wading somewhere in valtaistui-
melleusettamisjubl which means
nothing more than coronation cere-
mony" and leaves him still vast dis
lance to go in order to learn g whom
It happens In Danish the old age
pension law Is known as alderdoms-
Observation-Disclosures and in
Italian, as the Interpreter remarks
neatly, 1t takes time to rush head
long, as the reader may test for him
self, by trying to say precipeterevolis-
simevolmente. No wonder that head
lines in some foreign newspapers have
to be three or four columns wide.
Even then, the headline writer must
have his troubles.

Disuse of Mentality
Would Mean Idiocy'

1t is a funny, place, this world Of
capitalism, with its astonishing spread
of ignorance and helplessness, boast
ing all the time Of its spread Of edu-
cation and enlightment. There stands
the thousands Of property owners and
millions of wage workers, none of
them able to make anything, none Of
them knowing what to do until some
body tell them, none of them having
the least notion Of how 1t Is that they
find people paying them money, and
things In the shops to buy with 1t.
And when they travel they are sur
prised to find that savages and
Esquimaux and villagers who have to
make everything for themselves are
more intelligent and resourcefuL The
wonder would be If they were any
thing else. We should die Of idiocy
through disuse of our mental facul-
ties IL we did not fill our heads with
romantic nonsense out of illustrated
newspapers and novels and plays and
films. Such stuff keeps us alive; but
II falsifies everything for US so alb
surdly that 1t leaves US more or less
dangerous lunatlcs in the real world.

'Penny" Not Official
u. S. Coin Designation

-Penny" is not the official designa'
ton Of any coin minted by the United
States. The application of penny" TO
the cent. however, dates back TO the
beginning Of our money system.
Until after the Revolutionary war
the english penny circulated freely In
this country. Although one-cent pieces
had been previously coined by several
Of the states, the word "cent" did not
appear officially in connection with
a federal coin until 1856. August OF
that year the Continental congress
passed law which prescribed Gents:
The highest copper piece, OF which
100 shall be equal to the dollar"
October 1o, 1856, 1t was ordained
by congress, THAT no foreign copper
coin whatsoever shall after the first
day Of September, 1887, be current
within the United States Of America"
This law removed the English penny
from circulation In this country, but
the name penny" was transferred TO
our cent In popular usage and II has
tenaciously chung to 1t ever since.
After the present Constitution was
adopted the cent was retained as
part Of our monetary system. April
2, 1892, congress passed an "act es-
tabllshing a mint, and regulating the
coins of the United States" This act
prescribed "Cents-each to be Of the
value of the one-hundredth part Of a
dollar, and to contain eleven penny
weights of copper"

Ants by the Millions
Used to Worry Beetles

"Without Black Ants No Cocoa"
reads a sign posted at the entrance
Of a great plantation in Central Java.
II does not go unheeded, either, for
the natives hand In some 4OOO,0OO
nests of these little creatures every
year, and receive payment in return.
These black ants live upon trees In
tested by the white cocoa louise.
Neither the louise nor the ants In
lure the trees. The real enemy Is a
certain beetle whose name is Hello
peltis, which also attacks the tea
plant. II has been found thai when
the black ants are present the Hello
peltIs fails to lnjure the trees. Ap-
parently this sap-sucking pest is dis
turbed by the activity Of the ants, for
the latter do not attack the beetle.
This Is why the black ants are pro
tected. Food Is provided for them by
picking the white Cocoa louise from
the shells Of the fruit, where they
congregate, and placing them on the
cocoa trees to attract the ants and
disturb the beetles.

East River Now Heated
bv Big Power Plants

Back in 1776 the East river at New
York city froze sufficiently to allow
an army to cross over the ice in
safety. But nowadays the stream OBJ
stinately refuses to freeze, even when
the temperature reaches its lowest ex-
trenfe.
One reason for the warmness Of
New York's adjacent waters may be
the action of the nine power plants
along its shores. For every ton of
coal consumed in making steam for
the turbines, about 400 tons OF water
which is drawn from the river-are
needed to condense the steam back
into waite. after it has served its use
full purpose The water is heated
about % degrees before it returns to
its original habitat and at least AGO.
600 tons of water pass in and out Of
the power plants every hour. 1t has
been computed that this has the eff
feet Of raising the temperature of the
whole river at least 10 degrees, In
spite of the strong tidal current
which changes its waters twice daily
by influx from Long island sound and
New York harbor.

First Sailboats

The paintings and sculptures in the
early records of Egypt show regularly
formed boats constructed of sawed
planks of timber propelled by numer-
GUS rowers and also by sails. These
vessels were long galleys with one
mast and a large square sail which
was sometimes of linen and sometimes
OF papyrus. The oldest authentic rec
ord as to these sailing vessels is the
illustration of one of them used as
decoration of an Egyptian amphora
lin the British museum), judged to
have been made about 5000 B. @. 1t
is noted, however, that these boats
could sail only with the wind. The
science of sailing against the wind
was unknown for thousands Of years.
They sailed only when the wind was
favorable. The oarsmen worked when
the winds were unfavorable.

Easy for Woman to
Find Parking Space

1t was a busy corner and there were
parking space for just one car. A
gentleman espied the space, counted it
his own and proceeded to ease his
car into 1t. To do this he had, 1t
seems, to back, turn, wheel, run for
ward, shift gears, and attack on the
right and left tanks.
While he was going through this
very elaborate maneuvering, woman
driver arrived and clearly usurped
the parking space by the absurdly
simple method of driving her automo-
bile straight into 1t without -four
ishes or trouble.
A moment or so passed and then the
gentleman realized for all his strate-
gy the position was lost. "Say, sister
:" he began, and he was still
talking as the woman snapped the
door of the car and got lost in the
crowd afoot.-Baltimore Sun.

We can never have real reform

During the last eight months the
Shipping Board has disposed Of six OF
the twenty-four lines, including the
United States Line and the American
Merchant Line, which the corporation
operated. The sale Of these lines
brought about o saving to the corpora
ton of nearly o million dollars through
the dropping Of about 500 employees
from the pay roll. In addition, the ex-
penses of maintaining separate passen-
ger and freight booking organizations
for the lines were curtailed at saving
of about a million dollars more!
The recent sale OF the Protection
and Indemnity Insurance Agency to
seven insurance companies Is expected
to result in q saving Of $125,00O a year
in overhead cost.
The corporation now has more than
200 vessels operating In 10 established
lines and independently during cotton
and grain export seasons. OF the 10
established lines, two are to be sold
shortly, bids having already been re-
ceived. The Shipping Board has indi-
Gated that It expects to offer at least
five more of the lines for sale before
the end Of the year.
The comparatively rapid disposal Of
the Government merchant marine to
private ownership in recent months Is
attributed by corporation officials to

! COSTS WILL Be CUT
: s.
Overhead Is Expected to Be
Reduced by Half in CON-
ing Fiscal Year.
By the Associated Press.

By the ASSUCIHItu EIeSS'
Overhead expenses for the operation
Of the Government owned merchant
marine are expected by the Merchant
Fleet Corporation to be reduced by hall
during the coming fiscal year.
The saving will be attributable to the
sale of established Government shipping
lines to private owners and conse-
ouent curtailment of personnel Of the
corporation, which operates the Gov
eminent vessels.
For the present fiscal year approxi-
mately $12,000,000 was appropriated by
Congress for its overhead. Its omcers
are now working out estimates for the
