“K’s Good to Get Home and Hear One’s uwn People Whine Their Language” By W. W. KELSEY, in Detroit News. “ YES, it’s good to get home—to be among one’s own people again, and to hear them whine their language. How in thunder th* Ya-ikee developed his accent is one of those mysteries for which sci mtists may have an explanation, but I never have run across it If the Pilgrims brought it from Lincoln and Nottingham, they brought it all, for the people of those parts don’t speak as we do nowadays. Part of the American language certainly comes from Norfolk, where many words still survive which are good American, but bad English. But they don’t speak English, as we speak American. The typical English, the English one hears on the stage, is London English, and it is not spoken at all —it is sung. And one tires of this sing-song language, with its long-drawn vowels, its “Ooh, nao,” its “lofftuh” instead of ‘‘laffter”; of people who say “toodleoo” when they mean “good-by,” and “ta” vhen they mean “thank you.” It is good to come back to a country where one says “so long, old boy,” without giggling as if he had said something funny. • It is equally good to hear voices pitched at different keys. In France all the women speak alike. They start a paragraph at Cin alt, if you know what I mean, and never deviate from that note until they finish; and their next paragraph starts on C again. It sounds like the chattering of squirrels, except that squirrels make less penetrating noises. The men talk with more inflection, have a greater range, as it were; but their voices too, become moncxonous. If a trip-hammer could talk, it would speak French; it is a pneumatic riveter language, and becomes beautiful only when spoken by high-ly-trained elocutionists, like the artists of the Theater Francais. One pines for the clash and of the American tongue. It may seem queer, but, heard abroad, the American voice sounds ugly, untutoredpiercing; but after a day or two at home it begins to have a familiar ring, a cadence all its own, and one is filled with amazement at the thought oi preferring any other language. International Radio Service Likely to Establish a Universal Language By GUY E. TRIPP, Westinghouse Company. The latest radio wonder is an arrangement whereby broadcasts from America are heard clearly and distinctly in Europe every Saturday night. The system is still in an experimental stage, but it is quite probable Chat it soon will be extended so that all European countries will be receiving messages from us, and we in turn shall be hearing regularly from London, Paris, Rome, Berlin and other important foreign cities. Thus all barriers to international communications will be broken down. This will mean many things to the people of the world, too many for any one to attempt to foresee. But one thing may be predicted with comparative safety; that is, the establishing of a universal language. Were radio broadcasts confined to musical selections, the necessity for such a'language would not arise, but speeches are certain to be transmitted, and every radio listener will want to know what they are about. Hence there will be a greater and more general interest in a single language than has ever existed since the fall of the Roman empire. Safety Education Means Development of One’s Self Against Accident By ARTHUR WILLIAMS, President American Museum of Safety. Professional safety engineers who have watched the development of the accident prevention movement from its infancy say that even today, with the hundreds of ingenious safety devices available, with automatic machines which are almost fool-proof, and with safety incorporated in the design, construction, and installation of industrial equipment, it is possible to prevent only 25 to 50 per cent of industrial accidents through mechanical means, and that for the prevention of the rest we must turn to educational methods, better supervision, and improved morale of emA ployees. Safetv education in the major sense probably means that development of one’s self so that he is constantly, automatically, sub-conscioua-ly on guard against accident The dangers of the early days of the republic are multiplied a thou-sand-fold on every hand, and we must train ourseleves to be constantly on the watch wherever we are, in a power-plant, factory, on the highways, or traveling by boat or train. “The Breath of Life Must Be Breathed Into the Editorial Page” By CASPER a YOST, in “Principles of Journalism.” In the production of the editorial page there is involved, as the primary task, the creation and maintenance of a personality that will speak with the voice of the newspaper, that will express the consciousness and the conscience of the newspaper and that will reveal a character worthy of the respect and the confidence of the readers. The breath of life must be breathed into it that it become a living soul. How is it to be accomplished ? By no tricks of artifice or of legerdemain ; only by putting into it the best that is in its creators. The faculty of the artist who sees beauty where others see nothing attractive; of the musician, who discerns harmonies not distinguished by the duller senses; of the poet, who finds in the “primrose by the river’s brim” divine secrets not revealed to those to whom it is but a flower—all are endowed with that superior quality of discernment and distinction which in the reporter is the news sense, and which is essential to the highest success of any department of the profession of journalism. Sinks Into a Depression Not Unlike the Puntan’s Conviction of Sin By HARVEY O’HIGGINS, in “American Mind in Action ~ Force the American to retire in comfortable idleness and he sinks into a depression not unlike the Puritan’s conviction of sin. He has no rich inner life, based on' self-knowledge and security, to draw upon with satisfaction in retirement. He prefers to die in harness rather than face the horror of meditative thought For the same reason he is the greatest newspaper reader in the world, and he snatches up a paper in any interval of leisure that leaves him free to “loaf and invite his soul.” His soul is the last thing he would invite; when he meets it, that is the day of judgment for him. He takes his holidays in the excitements of travel, which distracts him from himself; and the automobile has become such a mad passion with him that its popularity amazes the foreigner. Frank Comerford, Chicago.—The loyalty and wisdom of the people of this country is being tested today as never was before. We must make it understood that the hand of Moscow must keep oat of this country. We must awaken Qur people to the fact that the Third Internationale is not simply a phrase, out a fact and a menace to every ideal that America has fought for and that her men have died for. Dr. Charles H. Mayo, American Surgeon.—A boy born today, he said, has twelve more years to live than was the case in our day, bat he cannot be assured of theee twelve extra years unless he keeps himself i» formed upon hie condition, ©specialty after forty.

Coat and Wrap in Chic Combination

A very becoming and practical costume has lately arrived which is capable of sufficient variations and com binations of color and material to give It a lasting place in our affections. It is called the “Ensemble Costume," and consists of a frock and coat which, worn separately, retain their individuality, while achieving when worn together a real affinity. They say In Paris, observes a fashion writer In the Milwaukee Sentinel, this vogue has attained such proportions that even the little frocks for summer have their accompanying coat or wrap; in this country, however, we confine this ensemble to the street which Is equally successful with or without Its coat L An attractive design is a coat of black satin of the popular seveneighths length, cut on the most severer! S z'/ i • Brni Jm K. a JB, wa Afternoon Coat With Japanese Embroidered Facing and Ermine Collar.

iy simple lines and lined with printed crepe in black and white. The bottom of the coat has a deep band of the black satin; the frock combines these two materials just as successfully. A long beltless blouse of the printed crepe is baniWd at the bottom with the satin; this must be carefully measured so that the banding on coat and dress meet at the correct place. The sleeves of this frock should be long and well fitted the neckline may be V or bateau-shaped, and narrow ties of crepe may tie at each side of the waistline if you desire to soften a bit the altogether beltless’effect. We suggest having the coat of this costume made by a reliable tailoring establishment in order to achieve the correct lines. The dress is simple enough to be copied at home by a sewing woman. Another design consists of a straight sleeveless frock of crepe, which Is tucked from shoulder to

Fabrics Used in Court .Costumes

Unusual combinations of heavy and light fabrics were noted In the court gowns presented by Revilie at a recent mannequin parade in London, where filmy georgette dresses were allied to trains of heavy shot metallic moire. On the other’ hand, heavily beaded and bejeweled matrons’ gowns were finished with filmy tulle-like trains. One of the most Interesting features of the display was the new contrivances devised by Monsieur Revilie to enable shingled and bobbed debutantes to wear the regulation three feathers without a jeweled band or tiara. A return to favor of white gloves for evening wear is predicted by Revilie, who provided all mannequins showing evening gowns as well as court attire with long-sleeved gloves almost reaching to the shoulder. A pale apricot shot with pink coral with a gleam of gold in the threads, pale water blue, crocus mauve, apple green with touches of sliver, lime yellow and pale aquamarine, shot with gold and silver, were among the colors noted, ta addition to the traditional white. As a matter of fact, few

BRIGHT RED IS POPULAR TO TRIM CHIC JACKETS

A waistcoat of red and white checked linen is offered with a suit of champagne kasha, the coat short and boxy, the skirt In smalt side plaits. With an ascot tie c* cream-colored crepe and with kid shoes and stockings in the shade of the dress. Mademoiselle expresses the last word in style. “Pink" coats, with regulation sleeves, or no sleeves; sweaters and overbiouses in bright red, are Immensely popular; and the fad of embroidering a monogram or other motif somewhere on the frock is very much done in scarlet The sharply emphasised points of color are used on pockets, sleeves, ties, belts, sash ends and bat bands and, reversing the order of things as they have long been, scarlet collars and cuffs are seen on white jackets, blouses and frocks. Scotch ginghams by the bolt the freshest wholesomest of cotton stuffs, are bought this year In colors more tempting than ever, and the Liberty crepes, “flock dot” voiles and numberless pretty materials proclaim thia a

hem; it has a narrow belt across the back„ which gives slight emphasis to the waistline. A tiny white linen collar and the bottom of the skirt are edged with narrow red lace. The accompanying coat is of the same shade as the gown but of slightly heavier material! it is straight and narrow, fitted in slightly at the waist; the red leather belt and the smart little collar of the frock, worn outside, lend it distinction. A costume would be especially smart of blue bengaline combined with blue crepe de chine of the same shade. The coat, of three-quarter length, fastens at the collar and hangs straight or may be held in place. The cuffs and collar are finished with narrow stuffed rolls of the material, the whole lined with white crepe de chine. The dress is a tunic model, with a round neckline, tiny collar, and long sleeves. The front of the t..nlc and the sleeves are finished with round crystal buttons. This simple coat and frock may easily be made by one’s own sewing woman. A costume of this sort will solve the problem of what to wear all summer at almost any occasion or combination of occasions you may find yourself involved In. Variety in Tailor Mades. Any doubts as to the success of the tailored mode are forever set at rest now that clothes are worn. Instead of merely written of. Fortunately tn the tailored suit there Is infinite variety, otherwise Its knell would be quickly sounded, since, some opinions to the contrary, women will have nothing which savors of standardization in dress. Further confirmation of the fashion comes in word from Paris, where the Longchamp races seal the fate of fashion. Not only the short-coated suit, but suits with longer coats are worn, and separate coats show smart tailoring in every detail The suit with the cape back has Its devotees alsw, and the suit with a cape which is detachable has a cachet which women approve. Softening jabots, graceful scarfs and many feminizing details are permissible with the tallleur. While most of the coats are unbelted and show a tine disdain for the waistline, others have little plaits which produce a nipped in line, a type of suit French women find to their liking. Both double and single-breasted coats are approved, and a directolre suggestion results from a slightly raised placement of the single button. Notch collars are a feature not only of suits, but separate coats. Eten satin ones go to this extreme in seme instances, and, for that matter, satin suits are impressive. Covert cloth, pencil stripes, soft woolens and broadcloth make up smart suits; while for sports wear ail materials bow to flannel While the all-red costume, except for evening; is a rarity, the all-red hat is quite the reverse, and the costtime which has nothing of red about it, is almost the exception. Even the suit is not exempt from period influence. It borrows from the directoire, and from the Puritan fathers with almost equal ease, and the slashed doublet of the Middle ages may be modernized so that the herald who originally wore it would hardly recognize his familiar garb. The two-piece idea grows apace. Even quite formal frocks are divided somewhere near the waistline, and tunics of the most abbreviated as well as elongated types are things with which to reckon. Blouses which ara severely tailored do not tuck under the skirt half as often as they end outside.

white court gowns were shown even for debutantes. Considerable stress was laid on realistic sprays of silken flowers and leaves, sometimes Interspersed with grapes, which hung from the shoulders to the hem. Somebody said that real culture and refinement began only when people started to care for things which were ordinarily not visible, such as lingerie, for example. During the darkest centuries of the Middle ages coarse wool was in order for shirts; later came linen. We find that some sybaritic persons have worn silk chemises during the 'Twelfth century. These were of heavy silk and differed from the outer garments that were worn next to the skin. The slashed and wide-sleeved garment of the Middle ages gave opportunity to display the chemise ta case one had any. It was still an article of great luxury and many a queen and princess did not own half a dozen. The garments were* colorful, while the chemise was white.

cotton season. The real novelty tn these goods is the English print—actually a fine grade of calico—in much the same patterns that pioneer greatgrandmothers knew, only, instead of the shilling a yard, it costs “six bits,’* and is considered very swagger for the junior element for country wear In fashionable quarters. Return to Style The collar has returned to popular favor and scarcely a frock is seen that has not the softening touch of lingerie or lace about the neck. Very pretty and just the thing for the tailored dress of dark blue is a set consisting of collar and deep cuffs made of watermelon pink organdie embroidered in white. N Style in Sleeves Though this is a goas-you-please era in regard to sleeves, the fairly long sleeve is seen on many hot weather frocks.
