NEW WORDS

From one OF our morning piles
Of propaganda and requests for free
publicity that is routed directly to
the waste basket we recently with
held a letter from z. r. Mcdonald,
Jr., president of Zenith Radio Cor
poration, urging adoption OF the
word "radionics" instead OF the
word "electronics" because the lat
TER lie Of British origin and does not
clearly indicate its meaning.
In way OF explanation, Mr.. Nc
Donald points out that both OF
these terms deal with the appiica-
ton OF vacuum tubes In electrical
circuits not only for broadcasting
and radio communications, but to
radio receivers, television. radar.
photo-elsctric units, rectihers. pho
nographs, hearing aids and ocher
devices comprising this entire
nsld.
''Rsdionics" springs from the
Latin 40 radiate" and the Greek
'ion'' ito wander or traveD and
thus we get the term wandering
or travelling rsdiations", which is
much 10 the point and extremely
descriptive.
The first syllable Of electric.
seiectricity'', ~slectronics", springs
from the Greek root meaning am
ber", which they discovered had
certain properties when rubbed.
Therefore electronics seems to indi'
cate wandering amber.
The term "electron" as thought
OF today, 10 OF British origin, hav-
ing beer frst used by c. J. Stoney
In 1891. Since we did not adopt the
British words petrol. underground,
bobby, pub, valve and wireless, but
instead are using the Americanisms
gasoline, subway, cop. saloon
tube and radio, the writer asks,
why should we adopt the word
"electronics"f
In way Of reply 10 such an inquiry
we would suspect the general public
of being somewhat divided, prob
ably Indifferent. Few care enough
about new words to ever learn
them, 10 say nothing OF helping TO
select them. That may be one
reason for our cumbersome Ian
Euage OF Irregularities, multiple
meanings, strange spellings and the
scores OF other Objectionable Tea
lures that can readily be men
toned. -

of words broken down 10 simplfhed

tainly welcome the change and 20

And so. TO get back to this speci.

answer that "radionlcs" is better
than "electronics" not only be-
cause It Is better suited to the
meaning desired for II. but because

ing the pitch Of his voice from the
upper levels 10 a good, rich bari
tone often encounters moments
when the sound he emits doesn't
land just where he anticipates il
is going to hit on. the scale. This
has always been a source Of
amusement 10 his companions and
elders, but it may be a minor trag-
edy TO him.
So medicine, being the human
science which deals with minor
and major tragedies, has finally
got around 10 a study Of this age
old, common condition.
Adolescence has been called the
"fateful passage" 1t is literally
true that many lives are wrecked
during that period. An elder, ac-
complished, teasing brother, who
knows all the tricks Of the trade,
can turn a good boy into what will
become in later years a skillful
bank robber or a chronic bum, dur
ing those formative years.
Usually Last Three Months
The voice changes are the ones
which all the world can notice and
while usually the agony is over in
the course of about three months
and the soprano changes TO the
baritone, in some cases the change
begins and then the boy goes back
10 the voice Of childhood.
DR.. James Gannett Greene, of
New York, has an explanation for
this by saying that some boys are
timid about assuming the grown
up masculine role. The state of
adulthood, as he sees himself en-
tsring it, terrifies him - its re-
sponsibilities and its changes.
All Of US who are adults, l think,
can understand why that should
be-that point of view. So this
type Of boy subconsciously mani
tests his attitude by clinging 10
his high, piping, childish treble.
Through constant use of his
high voice, he causes q faulty CO.
ordination and misdirection of the
laryngeal musculature, SO that
the condition becomes permanent.
DR.. Greene recites the case Of one
man who was 80 years of age and
the father of three children who
still spoke in a falsetto voice and
who, according to his own account,
suffered the tortures of the
damned" and Stunned all social
contacts on that account.
Ways TO Help
There is a definite possibility Of
help in these children. They often
understand the situation very well
after a few explanations, and CO.
operate so that they attain a nor
mally pitched voice for their age.
In some cases retardment due TO
poor endocrine function can be
corrected by the use Of thyroid and
pituitary extract. [
Certainly all parents and teach
ers should make a point to have a
talk with boy who does not settle
down to a normal voice range for
his age by the age Of 16. And am
iputate the humor Of the older
brother who shrieks. ooh! knit

mincing walk, or yells, "Hello,
Caruso," when the poor kid at
