interest to some of your readers.
The writer is not an old foggy who
finds fault with everything young
people of today do. Quite the oppo-

still himself a member of the younger
set, being still in the twenties, but
there are a few old-fashioned notions
that he can not outgrow.
The following statements are made
not from hear-say, but first hand in

they conduct themselves at the dane

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS!

The estimates of a mans vocabulary, even
when made by authorities on words and their
uses, are bound to go wide Of the mark. They
must be largely guess-work, for no man has
a Boswell constantly at his elbow to put down
every word that he utters in the infinite va
riety of the days occupations. 1t has been as
sumed that you can get at the vocabulary of
a man of letters or of a statesman by a study
of their writings or speeches. So, someone has
found that in Shakespeare there are about 49,
900 words of different meaning-the richest
vocabulary ever used by a writer of English.
We do not know whether anyone has similar
" taken the measure of Burke or Macaulay,
but a recent examination of the vocabularies
used by two eminent Americans in their pub
lie addresses shows the worthlessness of esti-
mating a mans command of language by his
printed utterances.

ed, but when it comes to the bakies,
it is a disgrace to our community. AS
l see it, the youngsters are not so much
to blame, because they consider it
smart to be in such shape at a public
gathering of the younger set. Neither
would l be too severe in criticising the
parents, since they do not know what
is going on. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for them to continually chap
erone such parties, but I would like to
suggest that parents at least wait up
once in a while to meet the young
ones when they come in and see for
themselves what shape their sons and
daughters are in. Once they find
they are being checked up On, the
boys and girls will be careful to re-
frain from the drinking because they
know they may be subject to an in
spection from their parents upon their
arrival at home.

The
Tower
To the Mayor and

To the Mayor and
City Council:
In view of the present employment
conditions and the local relief situa-
ton, it is the earnest hope of the com
munity, | am sure, that you will be
able very soon to make arrangements
to continue with your municipal i'm
provement program.
. 1t is very unfortunate that the city
is unable to launch a program of street
improvements such as was scheduled
which are needed and which could be
done at a great saving of money now
as compared with costs several years
ago. Meanwhile the streets designated
for repaving are in considerably worse
condition now, and of curse will have
to be improved at a higher cost in the
future.
At any rate, all necessary improve
ment work that the city will have to
do in the near future and which can
be financed on a reasonable basis at
this time ought to be done as early as
practicable, while costs are compare
lively low and the need for employ
ment is so great.
1t is very interesting at this time
to contemplate what it would mean
in improved employment conditions,
and as a stimulus to business, if the
important construction projects sched-
uled were under way-such as the
widening and paving of several streets
and othe work planned. Of course, it
is realized that it is impractical, un-
der the circumstances, to proceed with
all these projects now, but the men,
ton of them serves as a reminder Of
the large amount of construction If
the way of public improvements al
ready definitely recognized officially
as necessary and which doubtless will
be done within the early future years

RAILWAY PACT MEANS MUCH TO
NATION

Acceptance by the railroad labor organiza-
lions of a 10 per cent reduction in their wag-
es, to continue for a year, may prove to be
the removal of the key log in the jam that is
holding back the waters OF prosperity.
The railway men rose to the occasion: OF
their action, it may be said, in the language of
President Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio,
that they recognized and took a great oppor-
tunity to join in a constructive movement"
Or, as put b President Robertson Of the Rail
way Labor EHfAtives, Association, the resulrl
IS evidence o. desire to show the capacity
of organized labor to do a big thing in a con-
structive way to advance the general welfare,
even at the expense of personal sacrifices that
would deter narrow-minded persons
There are, of course, those who will view
the action of the labor organizations only as
the result of the fear that worse might befall
were the reduction in wages not accepted. We
prefer the broader view. 1t does not detract
from it to say that the action OF the men IN
wolves an intelligent self-interest for that Is
generally involved in sacrifices made for the
promotion of the public good. In the end, the
Individual fares better as the public welfare is
increased. 1t is to the credit of the railway men
that they see that this is SO: The immediate
problem before the country is the revival OF
business. After that will come effort to solve
the. problems involved in the fair distribution
of the resulting benefits.
The agreement contains little that is bind
ing upon the railroad executives, but they I'M
dertake to see to it that employment is main
tanned at as high level as is warranted by ex-
isting conditions. This undertaking is in lieu
of a definite agreement asked for by the men
concerning the numbers to be employed. There
is clearly a moral responsibility upon the ex-
%ecutives to see to it that this agreement shall
be lived up to. In SO doing, as we believe they
will do, they will give further evidence of the
ability of the railroads and their employees to
take joint action in friendly spirit "across the

ernor Alfred Smith delivered in Boston was
close to 5000 words in length and he used $50
different words. The speech of Governor
Roosevelt in New York on the same night was
just about half as Lonesome $500 words,
and of these 675 were different. AS we would
naturally expect from the educational advant-
ages Governor Roosevelt has enjoyed, his vo-
cabulary has the wider range. He used one
new word to about every five he spoke; AL
Smith one word to about every nine. In either
case, a margin of a dozen words would cover
any errors in the count. 1t includes all the
small connective parts of speech-articles,
~conjunctlons and propositions, but only a few
comparatives of adjectives. administration"
and administrative are reckoned as two
words; SO are politics. and politicians" If
terms like these, similar to derivation but diff
ferent in definition, were to be counted as one
word instead of two or three, the vocabularies
employed in these two speeches would show
a considerable shrinkage.
But the point is that in either of these
speeches did the speaker tap his entire reser-
voir of words. He simply played the changes
upon his professional vocabulary. Out side Of
it he could call upon a vast store of terms
the household vocabulary with its names of
furniture, utensils, articles of clothing, things
to eat and drink, epithets of endearment or re-
proof. Think of the vocabulary of recreations
of Governor Roosevelt or Ex-Governor Smith
from the card-table to the links and the sad
die. If Shakespeare used 10000 words in his
published works he used other hundreds, per-
haps thousands, in conversation with his
friends, dealing with the butcher, baker and
candlestick-maker, in the various petty con-
Germs of mere physical existence.
We are told that the average college grad
uate has from 5000 to 5000 words at his COM
mand; that a ditch-digger has about a tenth
as many. But a mans power to express him.
self we'll depends a good deal on the combina-
lions he makes with the words he uses. He
might know all the 1000 00 words in the I'M
abridged dictionary and yet string them along
in sentences of a kind to bore his hearers stiff,
while a fishwife of Billingsgate might enter
tain one for hours within a very narrow range
of vigorous expression. So, Ex-Governor Smith,
with a limited vocabulary, has an instinct for
using it to the best advantage; he combines
his words in such a way that his sentences have
a flavor and a punch while some other
speakers, with twice his words. in their private
~lexicons, simply succeed IN putting their hear
ers to sleep.

THE DANGER OF EPIDEMIC
DECENTRALIZATION

To the Editor:
DR.. Haven Emerson warns the ma
ton against epidemic generalization.
Should relief work that has been en-
ployed during prosperous times in COM
batting social sickness be dropped to
feed and clothe the unemployed? He
answers his own question by saying,
no." and Celebrates as follows:
Certainly not-and if for no rea-
sons other than those of costs and re-
suits. The pittance that preventive
medicine is costing us, a bare 1 per
cent of what we spend for sickness,
and the wealth of life, security, COM
fort of mind and body this investment
has brought us, are sufficient reasons
to determine our governments in city
and county and our volunteer health
agencies, national and local, to abate
not one jot of their labors for health,
nor accept any reduction in their wise
demands for adequate budgets devoted
to the application of medical sciences
to the prevention of material and per-
sonal disease"
He asks further whether there is
any difference between immunity to
disease and freedom from epidemic de-
moralization. 1t is even more import
ant now to prevent disease than at any
other time. He adds:
prevention of social disturbance,
of lots balance in community life, or
broken families, and of lost faith in
| fellow man is the burden of the mo-
ment which demands a full program
of public and private welfare esourc-
! es." M.

To the Editor:
The Board of Education and the
good people of Salisbury, with the
generous assistance of the Julius-Ros-
enwald Foundation have built and
equipped a new building to be used for
high school purposes by the Negro
children. This building represents the
kind of educational opinion and the
fine race relationship hat dominates
this community.
Friday, February 18th, has been Sc
lected as the proper and fitting date
for the opening of this building. In
making up the program to properly
celebrate the advancement of Negro
education and the expansion of this
far-reaching program, we are extending
an invitation to a number of leading
educators and other prominent men and
women interested in education to be
present at the exercises. We aim to
memorialize the School Board and if
possible stimulate the community's
interest in public education and their
appreciation of what has already been
done.
Very truly yours,

the prospects for a successful cam

Chapel Hill community ought to in
spire people elsewhere to participate
in the movement and make it a sue

the loan funds o only will help in
keeping hundreds of INDECENT students

thereby aid it in this time Of stress.
ought to appeal strongly to those who
are in position to contribute to the
success of the campaign.

THE LEGION TO THE RESCUE

1t seems to us that the unemployment sit
uation throughout the country is likely to be
changed, and changed soon, now that the Am
erican Legion has got on the job.
There are somewhat more than a million
men who wore the American uniform in the
World War who are members of the ten thou
sand and more American Legion posts. I'm
der the leadership of Henry L. Stevens, Jr.,
National Commander of the Legion, and with
the cooperation of Matthew Woll, Vice
President of the American Federation of La
Dor, a movement has begun having for its
avowed purpose the placing of at least one
million men now out of work, in jobs. Co.
operating with the Legion and the Federation
are such organizations as the Association OF
National Advertisers, and all of the import
ant press associations, new syndicates and 9TH
er agencies of publicity.
We think this is going to be a successful
campaign, although it is only just starting.
We think also that it is a splendid thing for
the American Legion to undertake. We can
think of no finer patriotic service which these
men. who once wore Uncle Sans uniform
could perform, than to come to the rescue of
an international crisis like this.
There has been some criticism of the Le-
gion in the past because some of its spokes-
men have given the impression that they were
more concerned with bonuses and beer, than
with unselfish public service. We hope that
this movement for the relief of unemploy-
ment will not only put an end to that criti-
cism, but that it will turn out to be the begin
ming of a broad, continuing policy of public
service, which may make the American Le-
gion the most powerful influence in the Unit
ed States for the betterment and maintenance
of social and economic conditions.
