Some- times a root-word is borrowed, often- est from the Latin or Greek, and an English ending given it. Again they take. two old words, join them to- gether and make a new one. At first they scparate them by the hyphen, but. after awhile that is left out, and the two are mingled as a single word. Then, they take a.prefix, or a suffix, from some other tongue, and add it, aftert or before, and they have an- other new word. Or when a word is too long we shorten it—because the English-speaking people are great for saving time. Thousands of new words are de- fined in The New Universities Dic- tionary, which The Pioneer is now offering almost free to our readers. It ought to be in every home, office, workshop and study.

Countries Years Ago Washington, Nov. 30.—(By Wil- liamy Jennings Bryan).—When the arms conference adjourns, if it suc- ceeds as now seems assured, an ef- fort will be made by historians to dis- tribute credit among those who paved the way. When the time comes, Argentine and Chile will be remembered as pio- neers. Nineteen years ago they agreed upon a naval holiday of 18 months—a small holiday as com- pared with the present proposal, but the sced was sown. It will be remembered that Con- gressman Hensley of Missouri was a pioneer. He introduced a resolution for a naval holi , but in the great game like this, ything looking to- ward peace is aided by everything that speaks in the language of peace. Argentine and Chile had the idea when they built on the boundary line between the two countries the statue of peace called “The Christ of the Andes.” The tunnel between Argentine and Chile now carries through the moun- tains those who formerly crossed the ridge of the Andes about 2,500 feet above the level of the tunnel, and there was another climbing over the ridge to look upon this impressive symbol of peace.
