are among subjects to be studied by the
American Council of Learned Societies,
preparatory to issuance of linguistic
atlas of the United States.
Preliminary researches will begin in
New England next month and studies
in other sections of the country will
follow, Prof. Hans Kurath OF ONO

ton of the atlas, =,
In a statement issued by the council
Yesterday, Dr. Kurath outlined the
scope of the studies to be made, with
a number of interesting observations.
Women, he declared, are easily IN
f1uenced to change their pronupcil ion
of words.
Every member Of a woman's club
wishes to speak like the leader" said
DR.. Kurath. Women are the ones who
give strict attention to radio an
nouncers. In an effort to improve their
speech, women are more inclined TO
pattern their infection and choice OF
words on what they hear.
Social prejudice in word pronun-
citation is very strong. Each locality
believes its particular method is cor
rect and that any deviation is wrong.
One of the results We hope to achieve
through the publication Of the Lin
guistic Atlas is a more charitable point
of view toward local dialects. We Will
be able to show, for example, that a
million people in a given locality are
in the habit of pronouncing a certain
word in a particular way. The con-
clusion, we will point out, is the fact
that for the given locality that pro-
nunciaticn is correct. In some other

COLBY, Kans., July 25 IN. A. N. Az
Just a few years ago Marion Tai
ley was poor schoolgirl in Kansas
City. Some one discovered she had a
wonderful voice, and since then her
life has been a great adventure, rising
from one triumph to another.
Multitudes in every city in America
have crowded to hear her, and the cli-
max came two weeks ago when 100000
900 persons in the United States and
Canada tuned in on the radio to hear
her voice.
Only "a years old, she has fame and
fortune-so much money she does not
want any more.
What now do you want most to do
what is your greatest ambition?" she
was asked.
ITO put on a pair of blue overalls and
run my own wheat combine on my own

YES but 1 have tenants on all Of It,

and climb up on to my own plows and
combines and work through the harvest.
Il get real kick out of farming. 1t
fascinates me. I want to settle down
and farm
And will you do it?"
Il do not know what shall do" she
replied. Il have no plans at all for the
future"
One Of the reasons for an interview
with Miss Talley was to learn her
plans. She has been in retirement two
years. not singing anywhere. Her one
emergence from that retirement was
when she sang for the radio broadcast.
Haven't you offers Of contracts to
sing?" Miss Talley was asked.
Yes. have plenty. but have not
accepted any and 1 may not. l may
never sing in public again. Why

Look at the money you could make. "

assure you Of one thing" she said
earnestly. 1--WE do not care about hav-

swered 1.-The man In charge, Mr..
Coles, is very efficient. I soon found
out about him and his agricultural
station and went to see him. In
seven weeks spent here I was at his
station a large part of the time. One
great discovery I made, through, him,
was that none of this Western prairie
land will produce we'll If it is planted
continuously to one crop. 1t will peter
out in time. You plant wheat one
year after another, giving the land no
rest, and you will find the yields
shrinking steadily. Many farmers think
that is because the land is wearing
out"
Miss Talley says that when she told
her friends in the East she was going
to invest $4,000 in land in Western
Kansas they said it was a mistake.
They urged her to buy stocks and
bonds
IF I had followed their advice I
would have lost heavily, as they lost In
stocks and WpndS," she said.

RAIL UNION PROTEST
Hanger of Mediation Board, Has
Talk on Loss of Jobs Due
Under Office Merger.
By TIE Associated Press.

By TIE Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 25.-G. Walter
Hanger, member of the United States
Board of Mediation, was in conference
today with officials of the Brotherhood
of Railway Clerks about their protest
against the elimination of jobs to be
effected under the New York Central
Railroads consolidation program.
Hanger talked with r. j. Chapman,
vice president of the brotherhood. but
declined to comment on their converse
ton.
The brotherhood appealed to the
United States Board of Mediation after
the railroad refused demands by the
union in connection with the merger of
New York Central offices with those of
the Big Four and Michigan Central.
The proposed consolidation, the
brotherhood says. will require 858 clerks
to move their families from one city to
another. and will deprive 155 other
clerks of jobs. Employees who would be
affected by the shifting now live in New
York, Detroit Cleveland and Cincinnati.

"The political power in control of

day building great munitions plants

The most serious fires tonight were
in Grand Teton National forest, where
they have been burning more than two

Basin. The Teton fire was still out of
control with about $4,000 acres of
timber burned, and fires of Horse Creek

Mountains near Shell were spreading
after several thousands acres burned
over.

fined almost entirely to local flocks. While these are report ed to be somewhat larger than last year, in numbers they are few as compared to the great flocks which appear during the migrating period ln October and November.
 Caused by Drouth
 It is understood that the dfohth in the Canadian prairie provinces where great bird breeding areas are situated, has so reduced the mum Der of birds this season, that con seryative authorities of Canada and the United States decided curtail- ment of the open season was es- sential in order to preserve enough birds for next years breeding. The movement for reduction of the sea- son was started by Canadian game commissioners several weeks ago. They called into conference con- servationists of the United States, CtIlSultcQ WlOll JllI fO44AbCN OeefeSo Biological Survey and many game commissioners of individual States.
 It is said about 30 per cent of the birds, which come into the United States east of the Rocky Mountains from Canadian breeding grounds are affected. However, the Pacific Coast flight, which largely is drawn from Alaskan breeding areas, is generally report ed to be in good shape As far as Alaska's bird supply is concerned, conditions are normal. No signs of depletion have been noted, and the weather conditions generally throughout the areas where the birds breed in great numbers are ssid to have been unusually favor able.
 May File Protest
 Among local bird hunting en- thusiasts, there was some talk to- day of seeking a modification of the Presidential order as it affects Alaska. The limitation of shoot ing here, it is declared, would not aid the general situation to any marked extent. The birds that gc from Alaska to the Pacific

SEATTLE MAGAZINE SPEAKS UP FOR ALASKA PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY.

The Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry, a maga- zine published at Seattle in the interest of the pull and paper industry broadly clearly and conclusivey sets forth the absurdity of the appeal of the Amer can Paper and Pulp Association to President Hoover to drop pending negotiations for the sale of Alaska pulp-timber and to refrain from offering for sale any Alaska or other National Forest timber entail ing pulp and paper mill construction. The first page editorial in the current Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry presents the matter SC clearly that further comment is unnecessary Il says:
 President Hoover has been embarrassed by the American Paper and Pulp Association He has been asked to hold an executive umbrella with one hand over several hundred millions of dollars invested in foreign in dustries while putting paddock on Alaskan pulptimber on the other hand. He has been asked by an internationally minded body to deny to Pacific Coast citizens an inherent right to develop regional natural resources into domestic payros.
 The American Paper and Pulp Association has informed the President that until the present continental annual excess capacity of 100000 tons of newsprint is absorbed there is no need for expansion, especially in new regions The American Paper and Pulp Association has in effect asked that an industrial death sentence be imposed upon the present generation of Pacific Coast peoples
 The American Paper and Pulp Association has accompanied it's plea to the President with brief depicting the North American newsprint situation There is in submitting the brief in support of the plea for execu- tive clemency an implied suggestion of un- biased authority.
 The strange request of the American Paper and Pulp Association at this late date is difficult to understand for many reasons
 l. The trend toward continental over production has been apparent for at least five years.
 9 The Alaskan pulptimber limits were opened for competitive bidding more than four years ago
 B. The successful bidders have already invested approximately quarter million dollars in power surveys and timber cruises.
 4 Alaska timber is ripe for cutting now and delay means economic loss to the pub lie to whom it belongs.
 5. Cutting is planned under rigid super vision which contempates complete utii- zation and perpetual resforestation under scientific forest management Present ex- ploitation does not impair the value of the Alaskan forests a reserve, but enhances this value through increased yield possible through regulated forest management.
 G. The present international attitude of the American Paper and Pulp Associa- tion is distinctly in contrast with the do-

Coast states later "are hunted down in gFainfields by more thousands of sportsmen than Alaska has in total population" said one local man. Tt seems unfair to deny us the right of ordinary utilization of tkis resource in view of the appal- ling slaughter that takes it's toll of the same resource after it leaves the Territory"
 It is estimated that during the usual open season of three and Gle half months, the total number of ducks, geese and brant killed in Alaska is but a few thousand. One authority put it at not more than 10000 at the outside
