zens has been difficult For after one has succeeded in reaching them, the peculiarities of their Els kimoid dialect are such as to make Aleut virtually a separate Ian guage. This, says the Interior De- partment, is result of the Aleuts being isolated for many years on sub-Arctic islands.
 The Aleuts themselves have had some language difficulties. While under Russia they had to learn Russian. When converted to Chris tianity they were required to learn Old Slavonic, the language of the Russian Orthodox Church. Now, with a new dictionary, they can start learning English. With a new alphabet they can brush up on Aleut.
 The dictionary is the product of two men-Ivan Veniaminov, who later became Innokenti, the Met ropolitan Archbishop of Moscow, and Richard H. Geoghegan, a Dublin-born authority on lang uages.
 Veniaminov, born in 1797, was sent to Unalaska in 1923 as a mis-

sionary. His efforts to put the na- tive tongues into writing resulted in his publishing of a Dictionary of the Aleut-Fox Language" in 1884. This is the volume which has just been translated into Eng fish.
 GeoghegaY @assS distinguished Oxford ts1 etar who eventually ended up fn~ Alaska as an officer of the United States District Court. At the time of his death in 1943, he was credited with having a deep knowledge of more than 200 languages and dialects.
 Georghegan did the early edit ing of the dictionary. When he died Miss Frederick Martin of New York. as associate, completed the job.
 The new Aleut alphabet has 13 characters similar in appearance to those in English but pronounced quite differently. The "x" for ex- ample is pronounced like a hard "ch." Two characters, Ing" and an ''s'' with gabled roof over it, are so difficult to explain that only an Aleut student would be interested.

WANT TO SPEAK
 ALEUT? HERE'S HOW
By J. FRANK TRAGLE

WASHINGTON - "Tum n n Adaq 'aman akuxtxin min kungin; assam amcug'asadag'ta."
 Most of you, of course, will not recognize this immediately as the beginning of The Lords Prayer.
 If you can't read it, there's no reason to feel particularly inferi- or. It's in Aleut.
 A literal translation is:
 "For-us father who thou art heavens on them; thy name tito be-exceedingly praised"
 There are about 5000 American citizens of the far north who speak Aleut. On Jan. IS the Interior De- partment will issue the first Aleut-English dictionary, and the Aleut-speaking people will receive a new alphabet, using characters similar to those in English.
 The Aleuts inhabit the Pribilof islands, the Alaska peninsula and, of course, the Aleutians. They have been under American sover- eighty for 78 years-since 1867 when Alaska was purchased from Russia for $7,2OO,000.

t3) When do terms begin at inc British universities?
 Ans: There are three terms per year running from October to the Christmas; the end of January to about Easter; and from Easter to the end of July.
 tD Was there any difference in the ways in which the British eel ebrated VIE and VI days?
 Ans: The VIE celebrations were bigger and more heartfelt, since they expressed the relief everyone felt at the end of the air raids. Young and old rejoiced together, and the turning on of the VIE floodlights after nearly six years of blackout was obviously more exciting in itself than any amount of the paper throwing indulged in on VI day. The VI crowds were enormous and very happy indeed, but they consisted mainly of the young people who had expected to have to go and fight. We were in terested to see that most of the Americans in Piccadilly were wandering about singly or in twos and threes, as if they were more

interested in watching the others than in celebrating themselves. They were either more energetic or less self-conscious than the British when it came to standing on such vantage points above the crowds as lamp posts, window sills, and the sand bag pedestal in the Circus.

NERVOUS indigestion" From
Many Causes, Mostly Emotional

Many persons who complain of
belchinE are not suffering from in
digestion or excessive gas forma-
ton in the bowel. but arc merely
air swallowcrs. They swallow air
because they are jittcry, mentally
upset, frightened or worried, or
eat too fast.
Feeling Of Soreness
One of the most common forms
Of nervous indigestion is aSsoci-
atcd with Il feeling of soreness in
the bowel. Many of these patients
from time to time pass large
amounts of mucus in the stools.
Their symptoms become worse
when they have any kind Of emo
tional upset, or when they are
coming down with cold. or per-
haps, when they take laxativcs or
eat too much bulky food.
DIR. Alvarez says that these
people must be taught how best
to live with their trouble" because
they are likely TO have some dis
turbance on and off for years.
The doctors assurance that no
serious difficulties are lifcly to
develop as n result Of their in
digestion will relieve them of
good deal of worry on one score
at least. Once they realize that
overwork and anything which pro-
notes tension makes their condi-
ton worse, they can often arrange
their lives so as TO avoid fatigue
and strain.
Many are helped by taking a
daily injection Of a weak salt solu-
tion into the lower bowel. Others
are benefited by taking mild
sedative or quieting drug before
they go to a party or have some
exciting experience.
Thus, il may be seen that many
cases Of indigestion are due to
nervous disturbances and that of
ten they can be overcome by
changes in the routine Of living,
SO as to eliminate mental and
physical strain
