Director
 by Major General Smedley D. But Ter, retired Marine officer and col- orful military figure, and William J. Cairns, a director of Rotary In- ternational, of Toronto, Canada.
 Although the two-day convention starts April 9, the greatest num- bers are expected for the second days meetings and banquet. After registration at The Elton Thursday afternoon, the first and only other event on that days program will be dance at the hotel until midnight. That affair is expected to attract principally Rotarians and their ladies of nearby cities and towns in Rotary district.
 Rev. Hugh Shields, of Ridgefleld, will speak before fellow Rotarians at the luncheon at 12:30 p. m. the next day, Friday. At the afternoon session opening at 2 o'clock nom- nations for district governor will be made, annual reports heard and other Rotary district business trans acted.
 Then comes the concluding event of the convention, the banquet at which Major General Butler and Rotary Director Cairns will be prin- cipal speakers.
 General Buffers career in the service of the country is unusual. In the third of century he served in the marine corps, he was twice awarded the medal of honor, 8 dis tinction held by but one other of ficer in the history of the nation. He was one of the military's most colorful figures, and has become in recent years widely known for his fiery and interesting commentary on a variety of subjects. The "Gim- let Eye" of the Marines has become famed for his picturesque vocabu- lary and Straight-from the shoulder manner of presenting his ideas.
 MT. Cairns fame within Rotary circles is commensurate with that of General Buffers with the public. He joined the Ottawa Club in 1918 and later became president of that club. When he was transferred as district manager of the Bell Tele- phone Company to Toronto, in 1923 he joined the club in Toronto, subsequently, becoming president. He

Common Tongues

A college PROFESSOR, recently back in
America from years study in Chinese
university, reports widespread study OF
English there. When native of one
province wishes to make himself clearly
understood to a native of another, she
says, he speaks in English. That is, If
both have attended Chinese public
schools, where English is now required
course.
In current magazine article on Ger
many one reads that young and old, "in
every walk of life," are attending English
classes in the large cities and even in
many of the small provincial towns. The
government requires all railroad conduc-
tors to learn English So it goes, almost
throughout the world. American tour
lists, American movies and American "Suc-
cess" are largely responsible for the pres
ent interest in English.
Well, the language interest is mutual.
Americans are studying foreign languages
as never before. They have added to the
more familiar French, German and other
European languages, particularly Span
ish, Italian and Russian. Language
classes in women's clubs are now as pop
ular as bridge. Many adult education
groups offer courses in almost any Ian
guage for which there is demand.
This is good thing, even if few such
pupils become proficient speakers of the
languages they study. 1t is almost impos-
sible to study language without learn
ing something of the people whose speech
it Is. When we can all talk to each other,
more or less easily, we ought to under
stand each other better
