Ruth Etting Offers Hubby's Former
Wife Chance TO Make Up Again

that she alienated Aldermans al

wrote Alderman that ''your wife
Alma Alderman had consultation
with me and as a result we came
to the conclusion that reconcilia-
ton between you and her is pos
sible. The welfare and future of
your baby is of paramount import
ance.'
Miss Etting said it was all right
for Mrs. Alderman to see her for
mer husband in the hospital if she

publicity stunt. Alderman made
no comment.

yesterday on charges of attempted
murder and violation of the fire

ing, from the grand jury room.
reporters asked her if she was
really married to Alderman. She
replied:
We'll, they couldn't find any rec
ord of it, could they?"
The reason for this question was
that Miss Etting and Alderman
had announced after the shooting
that they had eloped in July to
Tijuana, Mex. Mrs. Alderman had
obtained her divorce decree in De-
cember and it will not become final
for one year. Therefore, the an
caused some surprise
as Alderman was not free, in Cali

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-19

CINCE the days of the Tower of V Babel, men have sought for a form of universal language. Scores of schemes have been worked out, but most of them proved inadequate.
 Attacking the task from its many angles, pr. L. L. Zamenhof, Polish eye specialist, announced in 1887 language form which he called Esperanto" He claimed it possessed the vital universal" characteristics. Its grammar can be grasped in half an hour, every rule is without exception, the spelling is phonetic and the dic- tionary small. Esperanto, never theless, has flexibility, precision, literary beauty And it is catch ing on!
 Upwards of 5000 books, includ- ing the Bible, are now in Esperan- to; there are approximately 100 magazines in Esperanto appearing regularly The League of Nations has favorably passed on the lan- guage form Many European com mercial schools now teach it. An nual Esperanto conferences are held with delegates from every part of the world
 Zamenhof is shown here on a 1927 Russian stamp marking the 10th anniversary of Esperanto
