TEACHER HOLDS
SLANG HAS ITS
USE IN SPEECH
Language often Improved

Says Dixon.
BY SHELDON KEY
For a sneaker to be overcome with

For a speaker to be overcome with
dismsy at inadvertent use of a
slang phrase is a piece of linguistic
foolishness that Jane Austen, Thack-
cray, or even the scholarly Shake
speare would have laughed at.
These writer's resorted to slang
without apology. and many Of the
most dignifed words Of the diction-
airy have come in through the
''backdoor," Jerome Hixon, De Paw
university, revaled to the English
teachers section of the Indiana
State Teachers Association Thurs
day afternoon.
Instead of telling the teachers how
they can stop slang in the schools,
Hixon discoursed on the imprac-
tic ability of such task.
Task Is Too Difficult
ITO substitute new language free
from all faint of slang would be as
hard as to purge the language Of all
superstition" Hixon told the speech
and grammar experts.
To prove that much Of our Ian
euage arose from vulgar usage, he
referred to the classics.
For instance, quoting from Ham
let Shakespeare Polonius said,
'Harping on my daughter and,
again. you find that modern express
sion as dead as a doornair in
Henry III
I'm the Merry Wives of Windsor
Shakespeare plainly resorts to slang
by saying What the dickens, Hixon
said.
Tossing this challenge at those
who would cast stone in face OF
the classic, Hixon continued, I'VE
must be careful not to trust too
much to slang, for it constantly is
changing, but when it fills the mean
ing as in the word, babbitt. use it.
Cities Changing Phrases
1mpermanence of certain under
graduate mouthings as, Shake a
leg, get the puddle jumper and
barge me over to the struggle was
demonstrated by the speaker.
Hixon advised the teachers to
protest when students resort to such
expressions as shake a leg"
"heby- ieebies," SOS your old man."
College slang of 1900 is obsolete
today, Hixon declared, and on the
campuses the lemon" of 1928
gave way to the raspberry of
1929, which likewise has been dis
carded for pineapple" of 1890.
In conclusion. a long list of for
mer slang words, now in proper
usage, was presented 10 support the
contention that no single force can
stop slang and the diction actually
used by man is what makes
language.

Hoover Prosperity
Seattle April 7th, 1880

 Like swift moving tornado the whole paper struc- ture of Prosperity has collaps- ed in this country. For weeks the Hoover administration has pass ed out misleading information regarding unemployment, but even we'll fed statesmen are now compelled to admit the stark facts. Serious want faces mil lions of workers and the chief contribution of the Hoover ad- ministration to relief was to pass a heavy reduction in taxa tion to the fat, we'll fed million aires and to induce the unions to agree to a truce in the matter of wage increases, a truce that was immediately violated by that class. As pointed out be- fore, the unions more than a year ago issued a warning to prepare for this emergency. Now the situation has become so grave that there is evidence of Inysteria in some quarters. Police clubs will not fill empty stom- schs. The cry of Moscow plot" is defence screen that de- ceives no intelligent person. Those who raise it think on the same level with those who think That police batting can bring re- lief.
 What is needed is intelligent action along the lines suggested 8 year ago, namely: trade unions and other sympathetic organi- cations should immediately or yanize central delegate bodies Einat will give special attention Ito the problem. intelligent agi- tation and careful formulation of programs of relief should be undertaken in every city and village. I urgently appeal to all interested all over the country to act without delay.
