THE EVENING Despite the open statements of some leading blologists that the light complexion “of the much-discussed sWhite Indians” brought here from Central America by Richard Ogles- Ly Marsh is due to albinism, the Panaman aborigines are proving none the less interesting to many sclentists. Even though the Indians are al- binos, a condition that Is peculiarly prevalent among people of the red race, prominent sclentists point out there are certain blological and philological conditions attached to | them that make them more or less of an enigma to science, It Is ex- plained. ¥ Mr. Marsh continues to maintain his Indians in their home at 6200 Connecticut avenue, as he has done since ke arrived in Washington with | them.

Stmilarity of Words. Some interest has been aroused by the discovery that some words in their language bear striking resemb- lance to words with the same mean- ing in the Norse and other white men’s language. Although it has STAR, WASHINGTON, SCIENTISTS FIND MUCH INTEREST IN LANGUAGE OF WHITE INDIANS Similarity of Expression of Central American Tribes With Those of Norse People Is Found Striking. been pointed out that like similar- ities with the white man’s languages may be found in most all of the primitive languages, and especially that of the Maya, the resemblances lose none of their fascination. Dr. John P. Harrington, lingulst of the Smithsonlan Institution, and R. P. Vogenitz, chief translator of the Post Office Department, have been re- ducing the language of Mr. Marsh's Indians to writing. Some of the siml- larities they bought to attention were striking. For example, “arbaldi” means “work” in the Indian language; In Norse it is “arbeide.” The pronun- clation is practically identical. The Indian word for “call” is “kale,” and the Norse s “kalle.” The Norse word for “plate” i{s almost like English— “platte”; the Indlans drop one letter and have “patte”” The Indian word for “color” s “parbatti;” Norse lisps the “p” Into “f” and the “b” into “v,” and has ‘“farvet” A widespread Identity occurs in the word for “sack.” The Indlan word is “saki” and the Norse fs ‘sack”; but this word-form runs through many Euro- pean and Semitic languages, includ- ing the Hebrew “saq” and Old Egyp- tian “sok.” For “say” the two lan- Euages are again wholly identical, both Norse and Tule Indlan having it “gage,” which Is also cognate with German “sagen." For “sappl,” the D. C, Indlan word for “tree” the Norse have a word for what comes out of a tres, “sappe”; with which may be compared the English word ‘sap- ling.” For “howl” the Indlans say “ulue,” the Norse p “heulen.’ know” the Indian word is as compared Norse “vete,” old English “wita: modern Englihs “wit” For “b both Norse and Indian words are cu- riously like “bowl’; Indian is “ulu,” Norse is “hulu” and modern English The Indian word for ; both Norse and mod- ern German have it “mietze.” For “ask” the Indian saye “ekise” and the Norse “elska”; with these may be compared the colloquial English “to axe.” To drink, or “quaft,” in Indian is “kobe,” in Norse “kvabe.” “Sit” in Indian is “sige,” In Norse “sidde.” The Latin language has “sede” and French has “'slege.” Pig, or “swime,” is “sine” to the Indians and the Norsemen. For “dig’ also “ditch”) the Indlan is “tig. the Norse s “dige.” To is “tukke” in Indlan and “dukke” In Norse. German “decken” and English “duck” and “tuck” are similar. Similarity to Hebrew. Forelgn words of other derivation are less numerous, but a few surpris- ing colncidences turn up. A Russian Jew sat in at one of the language meetings, and nearly fell off his chalr when he heard one of the Indlans, on being asked for the translation of the very important personal pronoun “I" give, without hesitation, the Hebrew word “ani,” with exactly the same sound and inflection as that used by the Jews! Then there {s French. When one of the two White Indian boys bids the other to “blow hard,” he applles to his nose what he calls a “mushwe.” Compare this with “mouchoir,” which is French for “handkerchi To find Spanish words in the lan- | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1924 guage is to be expected, from their long contact with Spanish-speaking people. Spanish “oro” means “gold.” Lisp the word a little and the result is “olo,” the Indian term for the metal. They have had but little contact with Americans and other persons of Nordlc speech in modern times, and correspondingly few Englisk words are to be found in thelr vocabulary. For “American” their name is “Merik- kL” Only those wuo live along the coast know what money is, but the Indian word for this important com- modity {s “mani” which they pro- nounce “mahnl.” HOUSE MEMBER URGES U. S. IN WORLD COURT Greene Also Asks Disarmament That Does Not Lay Country Open to Danger. By the Awsociated Press. PHILADELPHIA, December 13.1A disarmament which does not lay the country open to danger, arbitration treatles and the World Court, was advocated by Representative Willlam R. Greene, chalrman of the House ways and means committee, in an ad- dress last night at the annual dinner of the New Jersey Soclety of Penn- sylvania. Mr. Greene sald that huge appro- priations for the Navy were unwise and tax-burdening. He declared that reports of naval activities of other countries were frequently in error and that the United States has five ships which outrange anything pos- sessed by Great Britain. He added that the proposed Navy program would cost one and one-half billion dollars, and that President Coolidge should be commended for his stand ugainst this expenditure. 80 you can have first opportunity to select the tree you want.
