"4 % NEW RECLAMATIO PROGRAM OUTLINED Work Would Hold Up All Projects Until Policy Is Changed. By the Associated Press, i CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 22—A new program in reclamation should be adopted by the Government, Secre- tary Work declared in an address here today, asserting that no new projects whould be undertaken until an endur- ing polic established. Responsibility for the success of Federal reclamation, he said, lies first with the people in communities and States directly affected; second, with the Reclamation Service, and finally with Congres: “If Federal reclamation is to be re- garded as a source for obtaining Gov- ernment money to be spent locally, in- £tead of first aid to settling a perma- nent community, it will fail aiready has in some instances continued. “The Department of terior stands between the new farm- ing communities and Congress. With- out help from the farmer we cannot interest the latter. Agitators Are Blamed. “The farm pest on many projects has not been grasshoppers or cut- worms, but men who have been fram ing the farmers, often dividing them, and for fees arraying them against each other. Repudiation has actually been urged and farmers advised that if payments were delayed the Govern- ment eventually would tire of trying 10 collect and charge it off. Since the purpose of the act was to create home-owning farmers, our first care should be their welfare. Heretofore the Reclamation Bureau has made construction the central idea on the theory that building irrigation works would create irrigat- ed agriculture. It has done this after o fashion, but it is too largely a tenant agriculture.” . The Secretary asserted that since there was no sound argument against trying a new method, he had recom- mended to President Coolidge that the new program include iy “Co-operation between the Federal Government and the States where projects are located. Urges Low Interest. ““Advances to settlers to help com- plete the improvement and equip- ment of their farms—a low interest should be charged on these advances. “That where projects include land in private ownership held in excess of homestead ts, development should not begin until an eement has been reached with these owners fi ing the price of that land to settlers and methods of colonoization.” All Government frrigation project: Secretary Work said, should be o ganized into districts, managed operated by the people living on them, who would decide all local questions themselves He expressed the hope that the next Congress would legislation re. quiring States to assume part of the financial risk and responsibility for every new project undertaken within their borders. Sees id As Sound. “l am com ced that Government ald in construction of irrigation works is fundamentally sound in theory, al- though its policy has failed in re- sults,” he declared. “If Iirrigation works are to be built on a large scale, the Giovernment must assist in it, as pri e enterprise will not build them because there is no margin of profit in such undertakings “The fact that it does not b rectly is no evidence that it not great potential value to the Govern- ment, but this in futurity and we must plan accordingly. “Reclamation of arid lands is only an incident to the agricultural prob- lem of this Nation as a whole.

He was graduated with a B. S. degree at University of Maine in 1884 and ecame assistant chemist at the New York State experi- ment station in the same r. Later he became chief chemist, but in 1890 he went to the North Dakota Agricul- tural College as professor of chemistry and chief chemist of the State agricu tural station. He became dean of the School of i and Pharmacy, and in 1916 he was chosen president of the institution. His work at the college brought him into prominence as a chemist and food expert. He served as State food commissioner, and later as State inspector of grades, weights and measures. Pure food or- ganizations sought his advice, and he was called to London, England, to give expert cvidence in cases before the courts there. Favored State Ownership.

Mr. Ladd was regarded by his col- leagues as one of the hatd workers in the Senate. His wide knowledge of public questions won him respect, and although did not oftén take a hand in debate on the floor, he had a very active part in the more arduous task of_shaping legislation in committee.

BRITISH SCHOLAR, FRIEND OF U. S. SLANG,TO COMPILE AMERICANISMS Noted Philologist Spend Years on Great Work. to Cites Vast Differences in Two Nations’ Languages. BY HAYDEN CHURCH. Special Correspondent in London of The Star and North American Newspaber Alliance. LONDON, June 22—Prof. William A. Craigie of Oxford University, Eng- land’s greatest lexicographer, has sailed for the United States to spend several years in the compilation of a complete dictionary of the “American language.” This project, Initiated by the Uni. versity of Chicago, is described by the professor as ne of the most Interest- Ing tasks of scholarship ever under- taken."” For nearly 30 years Prof. Craigie has been one of the two chief editors of the monumental Oxford Dictionary, which has just been completed, al- though the tenth and last volume has not yet come from the press. I talked with him regarding his plans for his new work In America We met at his office in the old Ash molean Museum at Oxford, an ancient, weather-beaten and much - admired building on Broad street, where the work of compiling the Oxford Diction- ary has been mainly carried out. There he showed me, among other quaintly interesting things, his two massive volumes of Dr. Samuel Johnson's fa- mous dictionary, which, though long since superseded. has been the basis of all subsequent works of the kind. U. S. at Dawn of New Era. “The United States is now at a period in its national development which corresponds closely to the Eliza- bethan age In England,” said Prof. Craigie. “It is a period of intellectual creativeness and invention. The ex- traordinary facility that you, as a peo- ple, exhibit In the coining of pictur- esque and expressive slang is only one of many manifestations of this.’ The professor will spend the Sum- mer at Harvard, conducting a course on the history of the English lan- guage in the Summer school there. He will g0 to Chicago in October to be- gin his work on the new dictionary of American English. Approves Slang. “Does American slang horrify the philologist?" T asked him. “I thoroughly approve of American slang.” he replied with a slow smile. “It is often carried to excess, but, on the other hand, many of your cur- rent colioquial phrases are axtremely apt, and win the admiration of even the most strict purist. In America slang gets into general conversation much more widely than in England, and is therefore more likely to win a place in permanent usage. ““The real test of slang is its utility. If a slang phrase fills a long felt want, it will get into the language. There are some American expressions of comparatively recent vintage which already have been adopted wherever English is spoken, and they are so particularly apt and expressive that one wonders how the idea was ex- pressed before they: were invented. Phrase Wins Approval. ““One instance of this is the phrase ‘It's up to vou.' There is no other group of English words to convey so concisely this exact shade of mean- ing. Slang expressions of this kind Wil be permanent additions to our language and obviously must be in- cluded in our new dictionary of American English.” g The philologist explained that the projected dictionary is not in any sense a dictionary of slang. It is rather a belated recognition by schol- ars that the American language and the Inoize of Great Britain are no lon.t . exactly the same tongue. Amerfcans have generally refused hitherto to admit this fact. But it has long been patent to the British. And it confronts the traveling American as soon as, on arriving in England he discovers that a place is so ma “turnings” way instead of “blocl that he must order a “sweet” if he wants dessert, that a “derby” hat in England is a “bowler,” that a Lon- don department store has no ‘no- tions” counter, that “crackers and milk” in a London restaurant must be ordered under the nom-de-plume of “biscuit and milk.” The study of American words, which will be a necessary preliminary to the sizable job of dlctionary mak- ing, will be complicated by the ex- istence of a large body of slang and colloquial dialect and localisms, many of which are purely ephemeral in character. History of Every Word. Like the great Oxford dictionary, the new Chicago dictionary will trace the history of every word included in it from ifs earllest known use. Use in America, of course. Unlike any dictionary hitherto produced in Amer- ica, it will draw its illustrations of the use and meanings of words com- posing the language of the United States exclusively from the writings of American: “The previous makers of American dictionaries,” said Dr. Craigie, “from Webster onwards, seem to have been determined to prove that character- istically American _words were really characteristically English. Také the word ‘Fall,” for example, as signifying Autumn. It is definitely an American- ism, that is, a word which, though originally & part of English speech, has survived In common usage only in America. Yet even the Century Dictionary, in illustrating its use, does so from the writings of three Eng- lish aufhors, Dryden, Middleton and Tennyson, and only from one Amer- ican, G. A. Freeman.” As we looked over together the ancient volumes which representad the pioneer achievement of Dr. Johnson, Dr. Craigle quoted with an appreci- ative chuckle the great lexicographer’s characteristic definition of the title in- variably applied to hirg. It runs thus: “Lexographer: A ter - of -diction- 7@ barmless. druge that busfes WILLIAM A. CRAIGIE. himself in tracing the origin and de- tailing the signification of words.” “Harmless” or otherwise, the drug- ery that has gone to the making of the great Oxford Dietionary probably constitutes a record. It is worth re- calling just a few of the surprising detalls of this mastadon among labors of scholarship, because the main scheme of this work will be followed in the making of the dictionary of American English. Work Took 67 Years. Begun 87 years ago, the work eof compiling and publishing the Oxford Dictionary is only now on the eve of completion. Merely to collect the quotations that are used in it re- quired the co-operation of over 1,300 volunteer readers, resident all over the world, and since the work began these have sent in over 3,500,000 quo- tations, representing the works of more than 5,000 authors of all periods. Quite a number of Americans took part in this work, and a_sensation was caused when it was revealed a few yvears ago that one of these, the late Dr. W. C. Minor, carried out his work of quotation-hunting in =& criminal lunatic as®lumn, where he was confined for a murder committed in England during a fit of insanity. It is recorded in the introduction to the dictionary that Dr. Minor, a man of exceptional culture, contributed between 5,000 and 8,000 quotations. In this mightiest of lexicons the " alone occuples 22 columns, and is divided into 73 senses, many of which have numerous subdi- v ve” fills 25 columns and And even these are dwarfed by comparison with “set.” which runs to 55 columns, with 1654 numbered sections, the last of which has so many subdivisions that it ex- hausts the alphabet and repeats the letters down to rr. Nine Volumes Ready. Of the dictionary’s 10 volumes, 9 are finished, and the tenth is well on its way to completion. The vol- umes and parts already published comprise a total of over 14,900 page: and contain over 400,000 words, il trated by 1,746,500 quotations. When the dictionary is complete, it will contain 420,000 words. Dr. Craigle has taken a leading part in this prodigious work of lexicon making since 1897, and has been joint itor of the dictionary since 190i. A little, bearded Scotsman, with a keen sense of humor, he ranks among the greatest scholars of his time, An M. A. of St. Andrews and Oxford Universitfes, an LL. D. of the former, and D. Litt. of Calcutta, he is a fellow of Oriel College, and has been professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford since 1916. Now he is vacating this chair in favor of the newly created one of professor of English at the Untversity of Chicago. . Studying American Words. 1t is in the latter capacity that Dr. Craigie will supervise _the work of creating a great and authoritative dic- tionary of American English. How long it will take to carry out this work it is impossible, he says, even to guess. “The duration of the task will be entirely dependent on the work done by students,” he declared, “‘and the actual compilation of the dictionary is conditional on the accumulation of what I may call the ‘raw material.’ Also it will be essential to have at the outset a regular staff, which must be created, to show beginners the proper steps. Otherwise there is cer- tain to be a great waste of time. At present those who are willing to assist in the work have little idea how to set about it. “We shall make a start during the Winter quarter at Chicago University with what will be really a regular course on the making of a dictionary. Those who go in for it, and become proficient in word-hunting, will scat- ter after leaving the university, and so-gradually we shall have, through- out the whole country, people trained to carry on the work of compiling & dictionary. oL Deseribes Technique. “A_ student who takes this course will be asked to conduct a detailed examination‘of the werds used by an individual American writer of an early period and to establish ,which ones are characteristic of that writer. student might, for example, make & study of the vocabulary of Benjamin Franklin. He should take his writings in chronological order and write quo- tations containing the words selected on separate slips, finally arranging these in alphabetical order. At the end he probably will have upwards of two or three thousand quotations. Finally, the student will write a dis- = CAME DOWN NEXT MORNING TO THANI HOSPTTALITY.

The quotations which he has made will constitute part of the ‘raw material’ that will eventually be at the disposal of the compilers of the Dictionary of American-English, Part of our scheme, I may mention, is that other American universities should get work done on simflar lines and send the raw material to Chicago. Some Surprises Expected “It probably will be surprising, Dr. Craigle continued, how many words and expressions are found in the works of early American writers that are not current now, or that are not now used in the same sense. To glve vou an illustration of this, two or three centuries ago our rayol voclety recelved a bequest of a large number of books from a private indi- vidual, The donor authorized the society to ‘dispose of' these hooks ac- cording to their wish, and some little time ago it was decided to gell them, But this, it was found, codld not be done, it being pointed out to the soc- iety that the phrase ‘dispose of,’ at the time when the bequest was made, was employed in the sense of ‘utllize’ only.” At this point D. Craigie was asked if he already had made any interest- ing discoveries in connection with “American” words. “It 18 too early vet coverfes,” he replied, “but I think it will be found that ‘Americanisms’ do not become prominent in the Ameri- can language until after 1800. 1 mean in the written language, behind which, of course, was the spoken tongue. The fathers of the republic, Franklin, Hamilton, Jefferson and the Adamses, used very few local expressions, on the contrary they adhered rigidly to the English literary tradition. “In this. however, they are by no means exceptional. As a matter of fact, local pecullarities do not get much into literature anywhere before 1800. This applies to the languages of the eighteenth century nearly all over Europe. That writers after this time began using local terms was probably due to several things. One was the romantic period, which drew attention to folk lore; another the of languages about that time. “This new tendency had a curious result. Take an ordinary French or Spanish book of the eighteenth cen. tury. It is much easier to read than a book of 1900, because the vocabulary is so much more conventional. It contains fewer idioms and out-of-the- way words.” Americanisms Shunned. Because our earliest native writers thus wrote only the English of Eng- land, and avoided the use of Amert- canisms, the principal sotrce of au- thority for carly American usage of words as distinguished from English usage must be, Dr. Craigie points out, the books and articles written by Brit- ish and other foreign travelers in North America. For the travelers, after the usual fashion of persons in quest of novelty, took pains to record peculiarities of speech of the country they were visiting. And as the num- ber of book-writing travelers in that first period of our history, when we de- clined to utilize our native tongue as a written language for ourselves, is surprisingly large, one of the conse- quences is a considerable enlargement of the ground to be covered by the as- sistants in dictionary-making, who will have to read through the books and other publications which comprise the record of the American language. Will Take Many Years. “Presumably the making of the dic- tionary of American English will oc- cupy many years,” Dr. Craigie went on. “But in the nature of things it will not be a labor comparable with that which faced the makers of the Oxford Dictionary. We can study anglish words back to about 700 A.D., whereas the record of American words begins in 1622, when the first sermon was printed in America. _Also the literary output of America during the first succeeding century was compara- tively small. ‘Our study undoubtedly will reveal interesting correspondences, as well as differences in the use of English in America. For example, when reading one of the works of Increase Mather, published in 1683, recently, I noticed that he used the word ‘scragged’ to signify ‘rugged,’ mentioning that something was too ‘seragged’ to go in- to an aperture. Reference to the Ox- ford Dictionary revealed that this word ‘scragged’ was used in the same sense in England in Milton’s time. Cause of Changes. “The differences in the use of Eng- lish words ih America, on the other hand, probably were due to new cir- cumstances in a new country and. in "MOVING, PACKING & STORAG! EL‘FM!.

Sherrill, director of public buildings and parks, is going to let Representative Thomas L. Blanton of Texas have ail the data he wishes re- garding the administration of the park police force, in rebuttal of veiled alle- Rgations reflecting on the efficiency and operation of the force contained in a letter sent to him by Blanton today. Col. Sherrill sald he will inform Rep- resentative Blanton that the “reports’ which the Texas Representative writes he has had regarding “favoritism” and other things imposed on the park police under the present administra- tion are unfounded. In his letter to Col. Sherrill, Mr. Blanton wanted to know if it were true that park policemen had been in- structed to give special consideration to Army and Navy officers and if they had been told not to co-operate with the municipal police. Col. 8herrill will reply that the park police are allowed to show favor- itism to none and courtesy to all and that by prearrangment with other law enforcement units in the District the park police are not permitted to engage in prearranged raids. They are ordered, however, the Represent ative will be informed, to enforced the law undr all conditions whenever they see it being violated. The letter from Representative Blanton to Col. Sherrill contained a denial by the former that he had favored the consolidation’ of the vari ous police units in the District, but adds that he is making a careful study of the efficiency of the park police force.

Those representing other races naturally had not the same traditions, and accord ingly exercised greater freedom in dealing with the language. “Primarily, however, the assimila tion of the different dialects spoken by the English colonists in America was the real foundation of American English. It is notable how rapidly and inevitably different dialects are assimilated into a common language, once representatives of different regions in the same country are brought into association outside that country. English sailors, for example. all use the same language, no matter from what parts of England they may individually have come. The reason for this is more or less obvious—the newcomer finds that he must make himself intelligible, and also desires to avoid being laughed at. Therefore, he quickly abandons his local pe- culiarities of speech. In conclusion, Dr. Craigie remarked that the coming intensive study of the history of American words and phrases will establish, among other things, who were the original coiners of particular phrases. The Oxford Dictionary reveals, for example, that the expression ‘‘unspeakable Turk™ originated with Carlyle, “‘unearned increment” with John Stuart Mill and “the great unwashed” with Theodore Hook.

Foreigners Worst Offenders. “While efficient, practical and pro- gressive dealers take pride in follow- ing sanitary practices, there are many in the industry who have little or no regard for sanitation in any form,” the department says. “These dealers hamper effective administration of existing samt regulations and use every means § their power to evade the jaw. “The greatest offenders in this re- spect are foreigners or those of re- cent foreign descent who are slow to adopt modern methods. As a rule they have no conception of the value of strict sanitation, and regard its forced application to their business as interference with rights. ‘Most cities have adequate laws or ordinances governing sanitary methods and practices of retail food distribution, but few are enforced ef- fectively. Local hoard of health offi- cials when consulted about _their problems stated that they were handi- capped because of insufficient funds and salary limitations which prevent- ed employment of men qualified for the work.
