Linguistic Fraud Barred
U. S. Translators Hold Mastery Of All
Tongues Impossible.

There are 20 modern languages In
Europe, according TO Lamore, who
pointed out that this is only per-
centage Of the tongues spoken on the
continent. In Russia alone, he said.
there are more than 200 different dia-
lects which are counted as languages.
It's true enough, he agreed, that
most of these dialects are based on
one of the four key languages: Eng
lish, Russian. French and German.
Yet, even in words spelled alike in two
or more languages, meanings are often
so varied that close study Is required
to know the distinctions.
Stevens Holds Record.
As to linguists who claim they know
practically all the languages in the
world" Lamore and Vogentiz, who are
pretty good themselves, agree that the
language record-so far as Washing
ton Is concerned at any rate-belongs
to Wilfred Stevens, formerly Of the
State Department, but now located in
Brazil. Stevens would not claim a
knowledge Of more than Is or 80
languages. though he's studied a good
many more. they said.
Vogentiz, who is In the translating
section of the Post once Department,
Is officially credited with a knowledge
Of 10 languages and Lamore, in the
State Department, with Is. That is
considerably more than most trans
lators are required to use. 1T is
generally accepted that fiye or six
languages are Just about as many as
one person should work with" Lamore
said. That's one Of the things our
society advocates"
Translation of treaties between
countries requires word knowledge in
many technical subjects-naval aero
nautics, television, medicine, chemical
warfare to name a few. AS for diplo-
matte notes, the subtle meanings in
one nations communications to
another present a ticklish proposition
for the person who would interpret
them.

Cash Prize.

Plans for an English-type provincial
home, labeled "B" In the laymen,s
design contest sponsored by the w. G.
g. A. N. Miller Real Estate Co., was

A 400-vote boost yesterday lifted
the second-place choice, a Pennsyl-
vania Colonial type known In the
contest as "E," to within 10 votes Of
the winner which had been favorite
throughout the contest.
The final choice was the result Of
votes cast by the general public after
judges had limited to five the large
number Of plans, submitted by non.
professional designers. Names of the
winning designers will not be disclosed
until later in the week. Leon Chate-
lain. architect, translated the winning

Congress passed a law permitting
civilians, the ordinary citizen, to be
tried by court martial, even while civil
courts were opened-in other words,
taking from the citizen the right Of
trial by jury by his neighbors, his
peers. When that law reached the
Supreme Court the court declared II
void under the Constitution. And
strange as 1t may seem, q more serious
assault was never made upon court
than was made upon the Supreme
Court after that decision. Had the
courts yielded to demands Of the
hour, you would have had In the
country exactly what they have in
certain foreign countries today, the
right to call men before q military

This was interpreted as a shot at the

this country. The Idaho Senator
also took his stand firmly against the

9orah said he had frequently been
asked when the Supreme Court OBJ
tanned the power to pass upon the
constitutionality Of laws.
"It was given In the Constitution

The Supreme Court, he continued,
had been charged with being sympa-

Borah.

Protected Colored Man.
He mentioned q recent case of q
colored man who was threatened with
hanging and forced to confess q crime
he said he had not committed. It was
the Supreme Court which finally gave
him protection.
Borah urged the United States to
keep out Of any war that may occur
in Europe.

When Carolyn Beard, Of the
Department of Agriculture, be-
comes bored she never needs to
cast around to find something to
do. She will merely grab her
piano accordion, finger the keys
and begin to squeeze. Music will
begin to go round and round and
even if she's alone, boredom bows
a graceful exit. And, if friends are
on hand, a party is thereupon
under way.
According to her numerous &C
quaintanceS, Miss Beard is a
veritable wonder with the accor-
dion and she probably would have
followed a career as a profes-
sional musician, if she had not
chosen to become a Government
employe.

ever, and she is now well on the

Possessed Of a friendly smile
and a personality that has made
her numerous friends at the old
Patent Office Building, Miss Tracy
derives much of her pleasure from
the contacts within the organiza-
tionS of which she is a member.
For recreation, however, there is
nothing she prefers more than a
snappy round of golf.
