AMERICANS ALL

An interesting little study in names is
presented by the list of nine New York
public school boys who were awarded
Pulitzer four-year scholarships at Column
bia University, they being chosen from a
field of so of the brightest in the
metropolis.
Their names, in the order of the
grades made in the competitive examina.
ton, are as follows: Herman Kremer,
Helmut Schulz, Thomas Jonaitis, Andrew
Chiappe, Jerome O'Neill, Fred Tonetti,
Hippoerates Apostle, John Morrisroe, and
Milton Black. 1t will appear that German,
Greek and Italian names predominant, and
in fact only two of the boys were born in
the United States. Among their fathers
are a cook, waiter. construction laborer,
a milkman and janitor.
But in spite of foreign names and
foreign birth, these boys are now Amer
leans all, with an opportunity to rise to
whatever heights their ability and energy
can carry them,

Solomon had a passion for

when he won, he declared a ma

Solomon was loved by his sub

CHINESE MUTES

PEIPING G.N.S).-To the gen.
eral run of Americans in China,
the sounds which emit from ra-
dio never seem like anything but
dreadful static. Thus it was
good idea that fans were warned
in advance of an even more un-
usual set of noises coming to them
through the night air. 1t was
nothing less than the first broad
cast of conversation between
two deaf mutes. They conversed
in a language all their own.
This unique program was ar
ranged by WI Yen-cheng, presi-
dent of the Peiping Deaf and
Dumb School, to show what his
pupils have accomplished. WI
gave talk briefly tracing the de-
velopment and causes of mutes
and the necessity of establishing
educational institutions. He ex-
planned that while there are thou
sands of people thus affected
throughout China, there were but
10 schools looking after their
needs.
