{ Slang Has Counterpart Some of today's slang terms, though, had counterparts long ago. Take “bonehead.” Shakespeare gat|'= their first with “numskull.” | It seems almost every word weé use today meant something dif-| ferent originally. “Muscle” grew out of the Latin “musculus,” which meant “little mouse” — the “little| mouse” that moved when an arm was flexed. Aborigines, says Mrs. Vollmer! have no words at all for abstract ideas. But their three words for! mother, father and fire exist almost unchanged. . In our own English there are more elements of other languages than in any other speech in the world. It's really the “basic language” Mrs. Vollmer declares. “Practically anybody could recognize something of his own language in it. Additional Changes In spite of that, there's a scramble to learn new languages. “And everybody is trying to learn Rusislan and Japanese.” ‘ It may be that English will pick up some additional Slavic and Oriental terms. Mrs. Vollmer is sure iit will keep right on changing— and slang (maybe even puns) will] continue to be a factor in the change, | From her daughter, a Vassar! {freshman, she got this one. “Why | {do radio announcers have small (hands? . . Wee paws for sta- | {tion identification.” | It happens in the most linguistic | families.
