Two-Year-Old Bow
Talks Greek and
English Fluently
He Acts as an Interpreter
When His Grandmother
And Aunt Visit.

CHICAGO.-When grandmother
who comes from Greece, and Aunt
Mabel. who knows only English,
visit each other they have to have
an interpreter. So Mickey does the
job, although he's not yet three
years old.
Mickey is Michael Bakalis. His
grandmother is Mrs. Veneta SikokS,
with whom he lives. and his aunt is
Mrs. Michael Bakalis.
Ever since he was Is months old
Mickey has been interpreting the
conversation between his aunt and
his grandmother. He learned to
speak Greek as early as English
which was at the age of Is months
Now" says his aunt, I'VE depend
on Mickey to act as interpreter when
we three are alone
Unaware Of Accomplishment.
The little fellow is unaware of his
unusual accomplishment. AS far as
he is concerned it's only normal for
a two-year-old boy to speak two lam
guages well and be able to translate
one into another
His unusual gift was first noticed
when Mickey asked his uncle, who
was visiting him, for a drink of wa
ter. He made the request in Greek
and the uncle couldn't understand
him.
"Thelo ena potiri nero" was
about the first Greek sentence the
youngster said That means. I
want a glass of water ne ex-
planned.
From that point on he mastered
both languages with amazing facil-
ity. Now he is the perfect inter-
prefer for his aunt and grand
mother.
Doesn't Tire as Interpreter.
He appears to be able to express
himself with the ability of one much
older. This is true whether he is
speaking in Greek or English. He
doesn't tire of his job as interpret
er and for an hour at a time may
put what his grandmother says into
English for his aunt and translate
what his aunt says into Greek for
his grandmother.
Mickey is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Bakalis. His parents speak
both Greek and English, so he can
get assistance if he needs it, but SO
far he hasn't fallen down on the job.
His mother says he carries on a
childlike conversation with his toy
animals in both languages, often
talking to his toy bear in Greek and
his toy dog in English.
Mickey had two uncles fighting for
Greece. One was killed in action a
few weeks ago. The other is still
soldier for the gallant little nation
in the European trouble zone.

More Glamour Stripped
From Medieval Castles

NEW WILMINGTON, PA.-The
common idea that medieval castles
were wonderful places in which TO
live lis all wrong" according 10
DR.. Leon Marshall, head of the de-
partment of history al Westmins,c,
college.
"A medieval castle had about as
much privacy as a tourist camp"
Marshall said. THE lord and lady
had the only private rooms, mere
alcoves, Just large enough to hold a
bed, of the main hall near the fire
place"
Besides, added Marshall, the me-
dicval heating systems weren't $50
hot either. Only one large fire.
place in the main hall served to try
to keep the entire building warm.

White Eagle was thrilled at the
meeting, yet begged that she go
with him TO his own people. AS he
pleaded, the Dakotas surrounded
him.
He fell at Wenona's feet. an arrow
through his heart. and she held him
while his life ebbed. Then she
poised on the edge of the steep bluff
and, before her tribe could stop her,
cast herself on the cruel rocks be-
low.
Red Wing recovered the broken
body and mourned her death to the
end of his days.
The bluff from which Wenona
leapSd became known as Maiden
Rock point. II is some half-dozen
miles south of the town itself. Wis
ible the entire distance because of
the southwestern curve OF the lake
shore. In rugged beauty, few bluffs
along the Mississippi compare with
il
For several reasons the legend
bears the stamp of truth.
1t concerns n specific location. It
is told without reference TO earth
inhabiting spirits and monsters so
prevalent in Indian lore. And the
ending is unhappy. A romanticist
would have changed it long ago.
The characters and tribes in
volved live in memory through the
names of rivers, cities, counties and
states. Even the young braves
name was borrowed by gasoline
company!
But to none of them is the legend
as close as it is to the village of
Maiden Rock itself.

That Scotch Taste

The peculiar smoky flavor Of
Scotch whisky is due to the peat Of
Scotland, which is produced from
aromatic heather. In drying the
malt, the Scotch distiller uses peat
for fuel. While the peat is burning.
the aromatic substances are alb
sorbed by the moist malt and thus
pass into the mash, the fermenta-
ton tank and the still. After the
fermentation the flavor of peat, be-
ing volatile, comes out with the
whisky during distillation.

Indian Legend Is
Revived by Census
On the Mississippi
Story of Valiant Maiden's
Death Leap to Join
Her Lost Lover.

MILWAUKEE.-An obscure cen.
sus item about an obscure Wiscon-
sin river town might well be forgot
ten except that it seems to insure
perpetuation of one of the most af-
fecting legends of the American In
dian.
II is the legend of Maiden Rock,
story of valiant Indian girls
death leap which permitted her to
join her lover in the happy hunting
grounds.
Had il Longfcllow TO give it de-
tail and beauty of phrase. rather
than the bald words in which it now
is recorded, the story might be as
well known as that of Hiawatha.
The legend concerns the river
town because the town is named
Maiden Rock, after the Mississippi
river bluff where the tragedy took
place. And had the community
been more propitiouSly touched by
the wand of commerce and industry,
ii might have grown into large city
which would have cast aside its
somewhat poetic name and chosen
something different.
Pleasant Place.
But with the census showing
drop in population from 81 ten years
ago to 29l today. Maiden Rock
seems destined TO remain just what
it always has been. pleasant little
place on the shores of Lake Pepin.
The legend goes that many young
braves came to court the beauteous
Wenona, daughter of Red Wing. a
Dakota chief. But Wcnona was in
love with White Eagle, young
Chippewa, and would have none OF
them.
Red Wing violently opposed the
match because the Dakota and Chip
pewa tribes often were at war. He
vowed that he would kill Wenona
rather than have her marry a Chip
pewa brave. Red Wing himself had
chosen kewaunee. an old Dakota
chief. for Wenona's husband.
The young lovers would meet atop
high bluff overlooking the Father
of Waters at the point where it
spreads out to become Lake Pepin.
When Wenona found that her father
had sent his warriors after White
Eagle, she ran to their trysting
place.
