LEARNING TO SPEAK OVER AGAIN * Learning the Japanese language has been the most difficult task facing Father Clement Boesflug, Bismarck man now conducting & mission at Otsu, Shiga-Ken, Japan. “There is only one way. to acquire any facility whatsoever in an oriental Janguage,” writes Father Boesflug to Mrs. Alfred Zuger, “and that is to take @ deep breath, a high dive and stay under until you get it or bust.” Difficulties confronting the westerner in learning the tongue of the Island Empire are described in an example by Father Boesflug. “If a German were learning English, he would find a great help in the similarity of many words. Knowing ‘haus’ is a great help in remembering “house;’ and ‘feuer’ really isn’t much different from ‘fire.’ But there is not much help towards remembering when ‘house’ is ‘uchi’ and ‘fire’ is ‘kaji.’ “Another difficulty is the roundabout way the Japanese have of speaking. As an instance, simply for ‘Hail Mary, full of Grace!’ the Japanese say ‘Mede- tashi se-i-cho michi-mi-teru Maria.’” However, by dint of constantly speaking Japanese from sun-) down Father Boesflug recently was able to deliver his first sermon ee ee ee ee cal . a Father Boesflug declares his friends here were they to see his house would call it “the cutest doll’s house you ever saw.” “It is a little bungalow with four rooms,” he writes. “You can pass from to sun- | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1935 WESTERN N. D. SEEN Acute Housing Shortage Exists West of Missouri River, Reichert Finds 1928 was predicted for the western part of the state by W. Ray Reichert, state director of the Federal Housing one room to another without going through any doors because the entire | the Partitions are simply sliding panels, and any time you take a notion, you dl turn right around where you are, slide back a panel and step into the next room.” Father Boesflug says such an arrangement is convenient for lazy folks, and sometimes a person misjudges his furniture and makes a doorway at the wrong place. “The parlor has become my chapel, and though small it is very neat and attractive. The Japanese are accustomed to leave their shoes at the door and consequently the woven-straw floors are always spotlessly clean. Next to the chapel is a little room where I meet the Christians and where my faithful catechist gives instructions to those sufficiently interested in the faith. “The third room is my honorable rectory with a bed in one corner, my ‘dining room’ in the other, my fiddle and music stand in the third, and my desks and books in the fourth. By standing in the center of the room and spinning around it is very easy for me to reach in two steps any section of this wonderful rectory,” he stated. Father Boesflug celebrated his first solemn high mass just a little over @ year ago in St. Mary’s pro-cathedral here before leaving for Japan. see NOTES ON NEW ENGLAND PEOPLE Harmony Haynes, Hollywood movie star publicity and magazine writer is Mrs. Charles Simon of New England. .

McKenna of Napoleon does not believe that imprison- ment in a modern jail with good board and room is mueh punishment, particularly when it applies to drunken drivers. The judge thinks there should be a central jail in the state for such offenders where they could be put to work at hard labor for a small wage atid their earnings used to support their families, In sentencing a drunken driver recently the judge said: “How well a man likes his own worst enemy! He sacrifice himself, his family, his good name, all his property and run the just for a little booze. If men only liked to work as drink, this would be a great country. “A man under the influence of liquor might as wel shotgun as behind the’ wheel of a car. The danger is safe on the highways while he is drunk. se ® CURIOSITY SATISFIED Every Saturday for weeks a Bismarck man has been coming into the editorial offices of The Tribune, picking up a pile of weekly newspapers, thumbing through them, easing one out, reading it avidly. Curiosity of the office was aroused but restrained. No doubt it was a personal matter. There seemed no reason why the man’s absorption should be disturbed. But last Saturday the man couldn’t find the paper he wanted. “Haven't you this week’s ——— paper?” he inquired. “Tf it isn't in that pile, it has been destroyed,” a member of the staff replied. > eeThat's too bad,” said the man. “You know I’ve got a boy in a OCC camp. He never writes home. But I've been able to follow his activities through that paper.” The paper, hereafter, ‘will:he inet aside for, him. CAN IT BE DINNY? The mysterious monster of the Missouri is back in the news again. Just over the South Dakota line, farmers report having seen a reptilian- like creature 22 feet long and a foot in diameter worming its way across a field towards the river. And they avow they were sober. It’s the same monster, they say, which turned over under the ice of Missouri last winter rending the sheet 2 feet thick 100 ft half mile up and down the river. Old Indians will tell you it is a pre-historic monster.

Lyon of the University of Minnesota Medical school said Sat- urday. The Minnesota dean of medicine spent a month in the Soviet republic during the summer, attending a meet- ing of the International Physiological congress and studying medical prog- tess in the country. Introduction of exercises in the treatment of fractures and broken backs and a new system of obtaining blood for transfusio1 Dean Lyon said, are two of Russia's outstanding developments in medical science. “Great success in most cases” re- sults from the exercies given patients to strengthen their bodies after they have suffered serious fractures and other injuries, he said. “In many cases where the patients have suffered broken backs, exercises are ordered and begun three days af- ter the patient is admitted to the ” hospital.’ The new transfusion system, he ex- plained, involves the use of blood from dead bodies. He said more than 1,000 cases have been handled suc- cessfully since its introduction. The blood is removed from the body four or five hours after death and pre- served for a period ranging up to a month. «| Methodist Delegates To Conference Named Grand Forks, N.

Rosenberger will act as Burleigh county chairman of the Home and Farm Accident Prevention program of the American Red Cross, Miss Mary Cashel, executive secretary of the county chapter, announced Saturday. The accident program is a new un- dertaking of the Red Cross launched with the view of reducing accidents through an impressive national and local campaign of publicity and edu- cation and through service to indivi- dual homes in the elimination of ac- cident hazards, Miss Cashel said. Dr. Rosenberger was chairman of the First Aid program in the St. Paul chapter of the Red Cross before com- ing to Bismarck and has had consid- erable experience along the lines of accident prevention, He will appoint committees sometime next week. The campaign will deal with acci- dent prevention on highways and homes in both city and rural com- munities, Miss Cashel said. The frightful toll of casualties on the highway and in the home, totaling over 70,500 last year with injuries reaching 5,100,000 in the home and 1,255,000 on the highway constitutes one of the nation’s biggest problems, she said.
