TOOMANY TONGUES

Language of the United States Is’ j Urged for All. , &,

Suggestion Is Offered That All of the Earth’s People Learn to - : Speak English. -

The next thing that must be done in the way of world efficiency is to get rid of a lot’of languages that are floating around to the restraint of trade.

- It will be the most difficult feat of all, but it must be done, just the same. This thing of every bunch of people across a river or over a mountain speaking a different language from their near neighbors is the biggest handicap the world has to contend with today, asserfs a writer in the Los Angeles Times Magazine. Moreover, this surplus of languages is the one thing, above all others, that has caused misunderstandings, wars, strategies, spoils, hell-raising, and hatreds generally. The biggest bar against the friendly relations of one people with another has been the difference in their mode of human speech. It started with the building of the Tower of Babel when the Lord confused the people on purpose because of their wickedness, and he took the best way possible to accomplish the result of the divine will, But, now that God’s people have been making a fairly good stab at getting right with him again—all of us, and our fathers before us for centuries—it is reasonable to suppose that God will let us ditch that Tower of Babel stuff if we make a real good honest try at it, ~ America itself—the melting pot of nations—is a striking proof that the thing can be done. Here have they come from every land and all the seven seas, the children of all races, speaking every tongue known to man, and before they know it they are all speaking good United States. Then, why not start a serious movement to®get the whole world, here and elsewhere, speaking United Sfates—or English, if that’s a better way to say it?

It won’t be easy, but it certainly can be done. And when it is done, this will be 8 happier, a more peaceful, and a more prosperous earth on which to live. ' :

We. recommend English—that 1s te say, the way we speak it here in America—as the universal language, because it is, without doubt, the best language of @ll, if only for the reason that it is made up of almost all the others.

In French; Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, and all foreign tongues it usually requires 17 words or more to say what we say in one. The Welsh, for instance, have a word with 19 letters in it that we can put in four letters. These other folks fog up their larynges and wear out their nasal passages saying things what we say better with a mere breath and a touch of the tongue against the teeth.

" Unless you were boin to it, or unless they caught you very young; you might as well try to learn to be a circus tumbler as to learn French or German and earn a living in the bargain. The thing will take up all your time while the potatoes go to pot and the cobwebs grow across the store door. And, in the end, you will find that you haven't learned these lines of talk, anyway. ~

The thing to do is to make yourselt as nearly a master of English as possible, and then force the other fellows to speak our language for their own good. A

Horse Breeding in Brazil.

Any project which has for its purpose the beétterment of animal breeding is certain to attract attention in Brazil, since the country has come to realize its full possibilities in ranching and similar operations, writes Consul’ General Alfred L. M. Bottschalk, Rio de Janeiro. The development has been:going on slowly and almost imperceptibly for several years. Some ranch owners at their own expense have imported various types of cattle and experimented individually with crossbreeding. Work in this direction also has been done by the National Society of Agriculture in Rio de Janeiro, seconded by state cattle associations and ranchmen’s leagues. Recently a commision appointed by the president of Brazil for the study and conservation of the national resources has been at work on a ecensus of live stock, taken from ‘the reports of municipalities. Oil-Yielding Plants in Denmark. At a large meeting of farmers’ associations recently held in Copenhage, there was much discussion about ite planting of oil-yielding plants, such «s flax and hemp. . There has been a general tendency toward increasing the areas planted to grain, but on account of the growing scarcity of fats and edible oils, it now seems to be desirable to grow more oil-ylelding plants, especially as the residue left after pressing out the oil (oil cakes) will help to supply the great deficlency in cattle feeds. ¢ on——— e ———————— Irish Crop Report.
