70 TONGUES USED
IN BOOK OF POEMS
Cleveland Language Expert
Is Only Man Able to Read
Own Work.
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, March 2o.-n you un-
derstand Singhalese-and 10 other
languages-maybe you'll want to read
q book being written here.
The author is Francis E.. Sommer of
the Cleveland Public Library staff. When
he finishes his work, he'll be the only
man in the city, and possibly the only
one in the country, to read it all.
Sommer, the language expert of the
library, has spent years delving into
modern and ancient tongues, from Bur-
mese to Welsh, from Chinese to ESper-
anto. AS he poured over the literature
of the world, he decided to incorporate
the best bits of poetry, each in its orig
inal language, in a single book.
Many surprising clasSifcations have
presented themselves SO far. The most
harmonious poems are from the Persian,
Polish, German, French and Russian.
Lyric poetry is rarely found in the
Dutch, ManchuTian and Tibetan litera-
lures. the las two peoples being so con-
oerned with religion that only phlloSo-
phic thought was considered dignif1ed
enough for a writer
The Tamils of India have trick
of using the same word to start every
line of a poem, or else use the same
word stepping down through the verse
Their style crowded out many neautl-
full ideas.
Sommer puts Turkish, Burmese,
Arabic. and, of course, Chinese in the
different classes. He has trained en-
gineers for Russia and business men
for China. And women bring in rugs
for him to read the patterns, or ask
him to name their Chinese dogs.

did not fit the gun with which the man
had been killed. An X-ray machine 10

 Hot dog stands at Coney Island have nothing on the little cafe which fronts the beach at Puerta de la Cruze, but the crowds are gone and the breeze is chill. For, despite all illusions to the contrary, this is merely semi-tropical and you can use an overcoat.
 And this is the spot where we all could go beach comber on a mo- ment's notice that is if bath went along with the rest. For the surf breaks high over the rocky shoreline and descends like water fall; the little houses rise sharply from a ravine and are tinted in the most delicate of hues.

 Men often wore pointed hats; but the hats of women were commonly like cylinders-round at the bottom and round at the top.
 The Hittites looked upon the city of Khatti as the capital of their country. The city covered a space two-thirds of a mile wide and more than a mile long. Walls were built around it, and above the walls were watch towers.

Walnut Ridge, Ark-(UP)-A white elephant in the form. of a black engine, eight red box cars and a crimson caboose is on the hands of Lawrence county officials.
 Like the white elephant of eastern potentates, 1t is hard to get rid of.
 The engine and cars were siezed when the Frisco railroad refused to obey the demand of Lawrence county to construct sheds at Hoxie.

Tenerife, Canary Islands-The shadow of approaching rebellion hangs over this rainbowed town.
 Just few months ago there was rioting in the public square, for the hand of Spain has been slipping even as at home. And wherever you go, there are uniformed men Several times in the course of an afternoons stroll you'll encounter drilling troops.
 And if you listen to the gossip mongers, you'll have to believe that rebels are we'll scattered over the countryside, just waiting for the sig nal to strike. It would be just a bit show set should be disfigured by shells.
 But down at the Bar Interna- tionale, you'll meet Domingo. And Domingo will not care whether the sun sets or rises. For Domingo is land-going beach comber. He trades on the Ameri- canos who stop for a glass of Pills ner.
 He sides along side of you and begins to speak in the best of broken English.
 "You are a visitor-no-"
 "What, you once came from San Francisco?" So did he. His father was one of the towns Spanish pop ulation. Yes, he sailed out of that port. Yes, yes, he'll show you how to get old-fashioned free lunch. The bartender frowns, but what cares Domingo?
 In moment he has you in con- versation. Naturally you're glad to hear someone who speaks your lingo. just what he has been waiting for. You present him with few pennies. And soon you have the very devil of time getting rid of him. You give him an "adios' and the equiva- lent of 10 cents and go upon your way.
 And now you motor over hill and highway to Puerta de la Cruze. The whole roadside runs out to greet the passing auto and ask its occupants for money. Donkeys and native wagons are shunted off the high way.
 And if you're a Californian, dear old California hops out of every corner.
 There are pepper trees and eucalyptus trees and brilliant red poinsettias. It is as though Los Angeles, Hollywood and way stops had suddenly been moved to the doorway of the Mediterranean.
 Everywhere women pass carrying heavy burdens upon their heads and men ride serenely along behind them.

Columbus, O-(UP)-While high heels add a stylish curve to the slim girls figure, they aren't so becoming to the more buxom forms.
 The declaration was made re- gently by Dr Charles Spatz, in charge of a conference held here re- gently by the Ohio Chiropodists' as- sociation.
 Spatz pointed out that heel two inches high changes the angle of the body 20 degrees. As a result, he said, the abdomen is forced forward for the hips and knees must fiex to permit the woman to stand straight.

The Hittites were bright-minded people who lived in Asia Minor and Syria 4,000 years ago. When the Hebrews reached Palestine, they found that the land contained many Hittites. Several battles were fought between the Hittites and the He- brews, but much of the time they were on good terms.
 The Hittites had dark eyes and black hair. Their skins appear to have been yellowish in color. Both men and women were in the cus- tom of letting their hair grow long, and braids or "pigtails" were com mon.
 Hittites used chairs and tables They knew the art of writing, and many clay tablets on which they made markings have been found Hittite writing puzzled scientists fol a long time, but within recent years much of it has been read.
