 London-The American gangster talkies have placed underworld slang on the lips of thousands of London CTS.
 In theaters, cafes, pool halls and other gathering places one hears on every hand; "Oh yeas" 70. K. Baby!" Lam it," "Baloney" and few other bits.-
 Slowly but surely the American "OK" is replacing the English "right-o." The trend was observed by one leading newspaper which editor tally regretted that Kingsford-smith found 1t easier to report Everything OK" during his Atlantic flight in slang than in favored English words.
 The editorial warned against the adoption of 'talkie jargon." Other critics seem to see in this one fact alone the growing hope of the Brit ish talkie eventually replacing Holly woods product, because of the pure English used.
 However, when the press painted the brightest careers in Hollywood for the British hopefuls, one of their number wrote from Cali fornia warning that only menial parts such as buffers and servants in films were open to English stars. A recent talkie intended as a satirical impression of American prison life amused thousands and perplexed more. It brought to the British public another term it had never heard-'mug." One young Londoner was explaining the vari- ous terms to his companion. When she seemed puzzled over the con- stant use of the word mug" he said:
 msS,caoa y anan a,vn mug ,ms nrivesgh,er serh .n The baseball game in the prison yard was. he said. merely an exag- gerated form of the old English game of 'rounders."

The word "gcyser" comes from Iceland, and it's meaning in our language is 'gusher".
 Geysers may be described as "hot springs which throw jets of water and steam into the air" It seems rather queer that Iceland. so far north and supposed to be so "icy" should be a home of geysers; Iceland may boil eggs without using any fire to heat the water; and they may watch geysers gush into the air.

Gov. Cross ( Comments
 On Reconstruction
Vale Review Editor and States Chief Executive Sees
 Civilization Not Yet Over World War

New Haven, Conn, Sept 21.-- Civilization has not yet recovered from the results of the World War, says Wilbur Cross, governor of Connecticut and editor of "The Yale Review" in the leading arti- cle in the autumn number of that publication, to be issued to-day. Governor Cross discusses the pres- ent effects of some of these results, among them the hesitance of young Americans to take their part to- day in public affairs. He says that Italian Fascism and Russian com munism are leach in it's own way a direct challenge to the social, poli- tical, and economic philosophy of traditional democratic government such as that of the United States" If the result for Europe and Amer ica is democracy, he says, it will be a democracy destined to under go changes so great that a century hence they will appear to have been revolutionary"
 "The end of the long and com plicated process of economic re- construction, still expressing bank CTS and ministers of finance, is ulll HI InC utotdhSCt 1OFOAAOA Cross says. "In 1918, the prevail was responsible for the war, she must pay, so far as she IS able and a little more, the cost to the allies. So an ingenious plan for reparations was worked out, such as would enable the allies to pay to the United States with interest the loans which our government had granted them during the war. It was forgotten that in the long run the cost of war cannot be wholly shifted to the conquered. All states that play the game must pay their share in the. final ac- count. Any other view is delu- sion. This we are now beginning
 Hike all other prolonged wars between nations, the great war awakened the most intense emo tions, running back and forth be- tween hope and despair. They still color all our thinking. Peace was declared. Bitterness and con tention remained. In President Wilson's words, the world was to be made safe for democracy. Rev olutions followed-some quiet and orderly; others bloody. The at- tempt was made to carve Central Europe into new nations along racial lines, but racial lines were not, and probably could not have been, strictly adhered to. Without much turmoil, Germany and Aus tria set up democratic governments which have so far endured, al- though they have been so endan-

 on Depression Praises What Is Being Done Here in Aid of
 Needy

Rev Moses F. Lowell. speaking at the Second Congregational church yesterday morning took as his topic When Will the Depres- sion End?" He urged confidence that the capitalist system has brains enough to end the depres- sion periods that has characterized economic history since the indus- trial revolution. He warned that unless stablization is effected speed- fly, capitalism will go the way of feulalism and slavery.
 With the coming of winter. he pointed out, the need of the unem- ployed is to become greater. He praised William M. Harris. chalr- man of the unemployment com- mittee, for his fine work in dis tributing relief.

nation on Youth Held in
Death at Baltimore.

Inspector William 8. Shelby, chief Of
detectives, today asked Baltimore police
for information concerning Dale H.
Lambert, ID, who is under arrest in the
Maryland city in connection with the
Staying of a milkman in an attempted
hold-up.
While Inspector Shelby refused to re-
veal the nature Of the information re-
Quested of the Baltimore police, he adj
mitted it might have some bearing on
the Staying of Mrs. Elizabeth s. Jaynes,
57-year-old cashier of the Garden T
Shoppe, 1885 Columbia road, who was
fatally wounded in hold-up several
weeks ago.
If the information received from
Baltimore warrants it, the inspector said,
a detective will be sent to the Maryland
city to question Lambert.
The youth was arrested shortly after
John w. Anderson, driver for Balti-
more dairy, was shot. He implicated
Herman w. Duker, 81, a member OF
prominent Baltimore family. Charges
against both young men were before
the grand jury yesterday.
Lambert is said to have confessed the
hold-up, explaining he and Duker
planned tito obtain money with which
to entertain girl friends.

asked to come home" in an appeal
