ANN HARBOR, Mich, Dec. pa
University of Michigan language
professor is studying and hopes soon
to be able to speak Egyptian, a
tongue unheard for the past 900
years.
Professor William H. Worrell, spe-
cialist in Coptic, has revived an in
terest among his students here in
"Copt," the name now applied to
the Egyptian people since their
adoption of Christianity. He is
tracing clews to the ancient
language.
Writing of the Egyptians have
been preserved on stone and pap
yrus, but their spoken language was
lost" in Greece during the years
of Greek dominion. Although able
to translate the written language
with eXactitude, scholars never have
been able to do more than guess at
the sound
The Michigan professor is using
the new science of phonetics in his
effort to reproduce the "Copt'
tongue.

lieves DR.. Harold Rugg, Columbia
university professor.
This economic paradise could be

for impartial handling, DR.. Rugg
said here before a state convention
of school teachers.
And with our vast amount of

must build new public opinion,

Refuses to Name Men

The President elect refused to
designate members of the proposed
debt commission or to accept joint
responsibility. He said:
For me to accept any joint re-
sponsibility in the work of explora-
ton we'll might be construed by the
debtor or other nations as a COM
mitment, moral even though not
legal, as to policies and courses of
action.
Designation of a man or men
of such eminence as your telegram
suggests would not imply mere fact
findings; it would suggest the pre-
sumption that such representatives
were empowered to exchange views
on matters of large and binding
policy"
Mr.. Roosevelt concluded with the
hope that the President would keep
him informed of developments. He
said
Il shall be very glad if you will
keep me advised as to progress of
the preliminary discussions, and
also shall be happy to consult with
you freely during this period"

inevitable losses that will ensue
from such delays"
Governor Roosevelt, in his second
and last telegram rejecting the
Presidents proposal for co-opera-
ton, said:
Il think perhaps the difficulties to
which you refer are not in finding
the means or the willingness for
cooperation, but rather in defining
clearly those things concerning
which cooperation between us is

has a humorous little trick Of making
a little ragged bunch of leaves and

dangling and birds and spiders are
fooled by them.
Soon it is time to intern for the
Winter; this caterpillar is one-third

Everyday Psychology
The Machine Age Mind.
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRoWLs.

For some time now the American
people have been flocking to the city
Flocking at the rate Of something like
a million year Statistics differ some
what on this point
Machinery is the reason. No argu-
ment here. Fifteen per cent of our
present population can produce the
food for the other IS per cent. That
is, with the aid of modern machinery
And so the cities go forward, and the
farms go begging.
The interesting thing about this ur-
ban movement is its aggregate effect
on the minds of men. Consider how
you may, ones mind is a reflection of
ones environment
All, psychologists agree that city
minds are noted for frankness and toll
erance. Forbidden things constitute
a comparatively small part of city con-
versatlon. Taboos. superstitions, and
ghosts flourish only in isolation.
The machine age is despite all this
a doubtful blessing While it kills
spooks, it fosters the growth of monot-
ony-one Of the most deadly of mental
poisons. The one big problem before
the American people today is this
What shall We do to be happy? That S

control a machine 1t looks as if We
were becoming slaves to our emancipa-

A Sermon for TODAY
Bl REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Resisting Temptation.

IT have resisted the devil many a
time, and many time I have sent him
fleeing from me-" some one says; "but he
continues to come back and renew his
attacks; I am becoming discouraged.
and wondering whether it Is worth
while to keep up the fight"
BY all means it is worth while. You
have no occasion to be discouraged.
The very fact that you have won in so
many fights with the devil is sufficient
ground for the assurance that you can
go on winning. What If he does con-
tinue to come back? You have made
him beat 1t SO many times. you can
make him beat 1t many times more.
You can depend on 1t, the devil will
never let you alone. Even though he
should cease to attack you in one way,
he will attack you in another. You
need not expect ever to be through with
the fight against temptation. It will be
a fight to the end.
I cannot promise that this fight will
ever become easy for you. Every bat
tie you win will make you stronger for
the next, but the next may be a harder
battle than the last. THE devil did
not play in tempting me-" said John
Bunyan. He never plays in tempting
any one It is no child's play when
you meet the devil in the arena Of
battle.
But hc-ever often you go to the mat
WITH him, and :scwever hard the fight,
you can be the vicScs every time. In
other words. you need ne>er let temp
tation get the best of you. 1t is es-
sential that you believe this. AS long
as one thinks that he must yield to his
impulses, that he must give way to his
temptations, he will never know any
thing but defeat The first step to vic
tory Is to believe that the battle need
not be lost, that you can win. Never
make excuses for yourself. Trust in
God and fight with all the strength you
have and victory is sure. Do your part,
and God will do His part.

SUMMERTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

TINE snake in the grass is a COM
mon expression for treachery.
But 1t Is not the snakes that
i we find in the grass hereabout
that need inspire fear in any
body. With the coming of Summer
"sarpents." as my country neighbors
call them, grow numerous over on the
Virginia shore and not less so. l sup
pose, in Maryland. The green grass
snake Is a species that makes his
debut about May, is plentiful in June
and July and thereafter I never seem
to see him. But he is a creature so
harmless that schoolboys freely pick
him I'D. They never strike and could
do no harm if they did. They avoid
the unlovable habit of climbing trees.
like Ewes snake and some others
hereabout This species passes under
the pleasant sounding geological name
of liopeltiS vernalis.
Most people would be happier if the
whole class of reptilia had been left
out of Gods good creation. I'm not
of their persuasion and people with
exaggerated fear of snakes get little
sympathy from my quarter. When l
go up with friends out from the CITY,
to pick azaleaS or blueberries or Au-
tumn leaves. or whatever happens to
SedSOIldDle,
house. one person in three will ask
at once, and fearfully, if there are any
snakes about AS many OF the trou-
sered as the petticoated put this dread
question But no sincere nature lover
ever asks it. For the answer is: what
if there were?"
In the first place. there are no rat
tlesnakes in the District OF Columbia.
It is now 116 years since crotams nor
ridus-he of the ratI;e5-Was recorded
hereabout We have no water-moc-
cassins. The copperhead Is our only
poisonous species, but the copperhead
freouents cool, damp, rocky woods and
cliffs; it has none of the natural hight
in it that a big rattler has and is
not touchy until late Summer 1t Is
the only venomous species out OF the
20 recorded kinds from the District
of Columbia.
Personally. never kill snake un-
less 1 know it is poisonous. In the first
place. snakes of the non-venomous
sort do more good than harm. Snakes
sometimes eat birds. but for one bird
they eat a hundred frogs and toads
and mice. One OF the plaques OF
Egypt was a sending of frogs. If st.
Patrick could rid us of all our snakes
believe me, we should soon ask him to
undo his miracle.
In the second place, many snakes
are beautiful. Yes, I mean it. The
grass snake is actually pretty; most
species are not that, perhaps. but
all beauty in nature does not consist
in the pretty. A world full of butter
flies and orchids and pink sunsets
would be an insipid sort of place The
beauty of snakes consists not only in
their coloration. but in the grace of
their movements. I also appreciate
their quietness, which affects many
people so disagreeably. But. as between
a marsh full of yelling bullfrogs, max
ing my nights insomniac, and the
grass full Of snakes, I'll take the
"sarpints."
