Names in the News
By Frank Colby.

No place-name in the Eastern
theater is Of greater Importance
than PLOESTI, oil and refinery
region of Southeastern Rumania
The spelling does suggest the cur
rent radio pronunciation "ploe-
ESS-tee." But the "i' is not pro
nounced. AS Webster's explains it
Il final in Rumanian is silent. but
it palatalizes the preceding con-
sonant."
To see how this tricky Rumanian
final ii" affects pronunciation, re-
fer to the pronouncing gazetteer of
Webster's New International and
note that Bucuresti is pronounced
boo-koo-RESHT; Husi is pro-
nounced hoosh (the 100" as in
"hook"); Tecusi is pronounced teh-
KOOCH; Iasi is pronounced yahsh,
etc.
Ploesti is certain to go down in
history as one of the most fateful
names of this war. Let's learn to
pronounce it correctly, thus: piaW-
YESHT.
CERNAUTI, capital of Bucovina
Again the final 'i" follows the rule
outlined above. Say: chair -nuh-
OOTS, the "OOTS" rhyming with
"foots,' The Russian spelling is
CzernoWitz, pronounced: CHAIR
noe-vits.
MANIPUR, state of Southeastern
Assam. The name sounds like
money poor with the stress on
money" Say: MUN-ee-poor.
IMPHAL, capital of Manipur. In
Imphal. the 'ph" is not pronounced
"f' as in English. Say: IMP -hull.

The soldiers of AShur-in other
words, the ancient Assyrians-were
not known for their brain power
Like the SpartanS of Greece, they
were skillful in battle, but had little
interest in learning.
Winning success in war, the As
|SyrianS added to their empire, but
they never would have amounted to
much if they had not gained knowl-
edge from people they conquered.
Babylonia was the country which
gave them most knowledge. This
land was a world pioneer i'm bring
ing out a system of writing. Along
with Egypt, it ranks as "one of the
first civilized countries"
The Babylonians knew how to
make picture words. To write
star" they made a simple eight
pointed figure. To write man" they
draw a rough outline of man.
Twenty-six hundred years ago
there lived in Assyria a 9-year-old
boy who was to become ruler of the
empire under the name of Ashur-
banipal. The lad was taught to
write and to shoot with the bow and
arrow. He was proud to be able to
do those things, but he took most
interest in reading. When he grew
to manhood, he took on the hobby
of gathering books. Thousands of
clay tablets were located by his serv-
ants and brought to the palace.
These were the start of the famuos
Library of Nineveh, the capital.

My Sunday Clothes

At Sunday school, you learn some
things
That you don't learn lit school,
You learn the Ten Commandments.
And you learn the Golden Rule.
I really like to go there,
But one thing gets me down,
The clothes I have to wear there
They surely make me froWn.
I do not like the Sunday pants
I have to wear to church.
They feel as if they're full of ants,
And make me scratch end lurch.
My Sunday shirts, oh, how they
hurt
They hurt till I can't bear it!
I've really got good OH shirt.
But nom won't let me Hear it.
And Sunday hats are tight as spats,
They hurt like fifty st.agers
I'd like to take all Sunday hats
And scrunch them with my
fingers. T.
And Sunday shoes have t,>,t abuse
They squeeze like a tor'4re boot.
But the worst thing sout my

For interesting experiences, one
might look to Jackquelyn Carpenter

places which are of. current inter-
est-the Philippine Islands and
Great Britain. She was born in the
Philippines and spent the earlier
part of her life there.
What she remembers most about
the Philippines is the sunsets and
the climate. o.
Jackquelyn travelled in France
and Switzerland. then went to Eng
land for a year, living on a beauti-
full estate some distance out OF
London She had many interesting
and enjoyable times in the country
which was dotted with picturesque
ruins. She tells of exploring an old
castle, a relic of feudal times.
She has been through Westmin-
ster Abbey and also the London
Zoo, the largest she has ever seen
She loves animals and intends to
be a veterinarian and horse breeder

Observing David Porter Anniversary

way at G Place Gallery. A large
majority Of more than SO photo
| graphs on view are concerned with
the squalid surroundings of slum
dwellers in Southern cities, Bir-
,ningham, New Orleans, Louisville,
Pensacola and others, as we'll as

Yet the occupants of many of the
shacks captured by Mr.. Sekaer are
disconcertingly cheerful. Whether he
inadvertently raised their spirits
while they were posing for him or
whether they are content with their
mode of life is something for the
spectator to decide In addition to
these social documents Mr.. Sekaer
shows a number of portrait photo
graphs of parents and children, in
which he has caught successfully
the tender relationship.

The theme exhibition of Mr..
Porters first anniversary here as a
gallery director is disappointing. In
the first place only a few of the 26
paintings and sculptures on view
have any connection with April or
other specific months. In the sec
ond place majority of the paint
ings do not impress one as good or
even interesting. Although about
half the artists represented are ia
miliar to gallery visitors they would
seem not to have contributed their
most creditable paintings.

Nye Memorial Exhibition in the
Corcoran Gallery despite the artist's
modest reticence. Apparently he as
one of the few whose works gain
rather than lose by aggregation.
Certainly he had the wisdom to
know when to stop, having carried
his theme as far as he could with
conviction, even though other
eyes than his own it mibnt have
seemed unfinished "a wisdom
vouchsafed to only limited number.
Nye was born IN Richmond in
1879 but came with his parents to
Washington when a lad. The writer
recalls him as felloW-student in
the Corcoran School, a very quiet,
earnest student, seated on a high
stool, drawing from casts. He stead
lily made progress, working in both
water colors and dolls. A charter
member of the Washington Water
Color Club and for many years like
wise member of the Society of
Washington Artists, he exhibited
regularly, not infrequently, carried
of prizes voted by his colleagues,
but there seems little doubt that he
painted for the sheer love of art,
rather than self-emulation This fact
speaks from all of his paintings.
Edgar Nye was by no means an
impressionist, but he was one of
the first of the local artists to sim
plify his subjects and render them
with utmost directness. The cur
rent exhibition comprises "a oils and
8 water colors, well chosen and ef-
fectively hung. All are outdoor pic
lures, painted during different
seasons and in most instances in
the vicinity of Washington.
"The Plowman" is an excellent
example, as is also the marine
"Breakwater." OF his figure subjects
Grab Market" is undoubtedly one
OF the best, although others vie with
it in distinction. The water colors
are very attractive and fresh in
treatment. 1.-THE Fallen Tree"-a
winter scene, trees, snow-covered
ground, wood cutters-is memorable
for merit. In his paintings in both
media Edgar Nye kept his color
