OFFICIAL HEARS | RAIL UNION PROTEST, | Hanger of Mediation Board, Has| Talk on Loss of Jobs Due Under Office Merger. B the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 25.—G. Walter Hanger, member of the United States | Board of Mediation, was in conference today with officials of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks about their protest against the elimination of jobs to he} effected under the New York Central Railrcad’s consolidation program. Hanger talked with R. J. Chapman, vice president of the brotherhood. but declined to comment on their conversa- tion. The brotherhood appealed to the | United States Board of Mediation after | the rairoad refused demands by the | union in connection with the merger of New_York Central offices with those of the Big Four and Michigan Central. ‘The proposed consolidation, the brotherhood says, will require 858 clerks to move their families from one city to another, and will deprive 155 other clerks of jobs. Employes who would be affected by the shifting now live in New York, Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati. FOREST FIRES HALTED AS RAIN AIDS FIGHTERS Only Two Major Timber Blazes Re- main Unchecked in West. Check-Up Is Started. By the Associated Press. CHEYENNE, Wyo, July 25—Rain and the unceasing vigilance of fire fighters had checked all but two major forest fires in Wyoming tonight, and State and forest officials started to check losses which it was believed would reach 75,000 acres of timberland grass. Flames_reported this morning near Labonte, 35 miles southwest of Douglas, were checked quickly, and all livestock was_moved out of the area before any losses occurred. The most serious fires tonight were in Grand Teton National forest, where they have been burning more than two weeks, and near Shell in the Big Horn Basin. The Tzton fire was still out of control with about 15,000 acres of tinber burned, and fires of Horse Creek and its tributaries in the Big Horn Mountains near Shell were spreading after several thousands acres burned over. MAN-MADE E'RUPTIUN Climax to Dedication of U. 8. Park on Lassen Peak Fall Short of Expectations. By the Associated Press. MINERAL, Calif., July 25—A man- made eruption of Lassen Peak designed as the climax of the dedication of Las-| sen National Park was only partially successful today when a brisk wind blew the smoke clouds away from the view of spectators. . Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, gave the dedicatory ad- dress. Dedication excrcises at Kings Creek Meadow, 20 miles from Mineral, | were held in_a natural ampaitheater, with Lassen Peak forming a majestic background. Following the addresses the crowd turned to the crater to sce it come to life as it did during its eruntions of 1914 and 1915. Smoke clouds rose slowly from the crater as smoke bombs burst high in the air. But they did not rise ! far before being blown down the op- posite side. HIRED FOR GAS FIGHT Attorney Engaged by Gov.

Why Scutherners drawl and folks | from “down East” have a nasal twang are among subjects to be studied by the American Council of Learned Societies, | preparatory to issuance of a linguistic atlas of the United States. Preliminary Tesearches will begin in New England next month and studies in other sections of the country will follow. Prof. Hans Kurath of Ohio State University, authority on Amer- fcan dialects, vill direct the compila- tion of the atlas In a statement issued by the council vesterday, Dr. Kurath outlined the scope of the studies to be made, with a number of interesting observations. he declared, ure casiiy in- fluenced to change their pronupciy.ion of words. “Every member of a woman's club wishes to speak like the leader,” said Dr. Kurath. “Women are the ones who give strict attention to radio &n- nouncers. In an effort to improve their speech, women are more inclinad to pattern their inflection and choice of words on what they hear. “Social prejudice in word pronun- ciat. s Vv strong. Each locality believes its particular method is cor- rect and that any deviation is wrong. One of the results we hope to achieve through the publication of the Lin- guistic Atlas is a more charitable point of view toward local dialects. We will be able to show, for example, that a million people in a given locality are in the habit of pronouncing & certain word in a particular way. The con- clusion, we will point out, is the fact that for the given locality that pro- nunciaticn is correct. In some other place, because of habits and customs of speech, some other pronunciation might be quite as acceptable. “A standard of pronunciation is not dosirable except for the stage. and that represents such a small portion of our national life. For the sake of art, it might be well to have such a standard, but its use would be limited. It should be well to have such a standard but its use would be limited. It should not serve as a measuring stick or basis for criticism of some locally accepted dialect “In the United States it is quite com- mon for the same object to have differ- ent names in different localities. The greatest variety is £iown in the names of kitchen utensils and the parts of houses. A skillet is the same as a fry- ing pan and a spider, while a tin cup may be called & dipper, cup, gourd, or tin and a porch is a stoop, veranda, portico, gallery or piazza “There are definite linguistic reasons for this divergence of names for a sin- gle object, but the only way to discover these Teasons is tbrough a careful study of our dialects. The linguistic atlas will show, the growth in our vo- cabulary and the influence of foreign emigrants upon our speech. It a'so will picture for us American colonization, holding up a mirror to culture, mark- ing the distinctions between English as spoken in Creat Britain and in the United States, and other differentia- tions. “Such information is required if one is to obtain a detailed history of our language. Probably the average Ameri- can is of the opinion that we all speak the same language. That is true only in & measure. As a matter of fact, in some words there ere from 1500 to 2,000 variable features which may be shown in inflection, vocabulary, spell- ing or a common use in a set phrasing.” YACHTS COMPLETE 3,000 MILE RACE Three More Craft Arrive After Long Voyage From: Newport; Two Still Trail Behind.

Just & few years ago Marion Tal- ley was a poor schoolgirl in Kaneas City. Some one dlscovere? she had & wonderful voice, and sinfe then her life has been a great adventure, rising from one triumph to another. Multitudes in every city in America have crowded to hear her, and the cli- max came two weeks ago when 40,000,- 000 persons in the United States and Canada tuned in on the radio to hear her voice. Only 24 years old, she has fame and fortune—so much money she does not want any more. “What now do you want most to do —what is your greatest ambition?” she was asked. “To put on a pair of blue overalls and run my own wheat combine on my own farm.” Has No Future Plans. “Well, you can do that. You have your own farm here.” “Yes, but I have tenants on all of it, and they operate their own farm ma- , chinery.” I want to live on the land and climb up on to my own plows and combines and work through the harvest. “I get a real kick ou of farming. It fascinates me. I want to settle down and farm.” “And wijl you do it?” “I do not know what I shall do,” she replied. “I have no plans at all for the | future.” One of the reasons for an interview | with Miss Talley was to learn her | plans. She has been in retirement two years, not singing anywhere. Her one emergence from that retirement was when she sang for the radio broadcast. “Haven't you offers of contracts to sing?” Miss Talley was asked. “Yes, T have plenty, but I have not accepted any and I may not. I may never sing in public again. Why should 12" | “Look at the money you could make.” Has Enough Money.

We do not caré for any more money. She has earned enough to take care of herself of all of us for the rest of our live Marion and her sister, Florence, and Mrs. Talley are well liked in Colby. People have come to recognize that they are not at all “stuck up.” ‘When Marion bought a farm 12 miles from here two years ago she knew nothing about farming. She had money to invest; she believed she would like farming and she begah looking around for a wheat farm. Will Hold Wheat. It is generally understood she paid | $30 an acre. She has 1,600 acres and she has $50,000 invested in it and does not owe a dollar on it. She says she has made money on her farm each year. ‘This year she is harvesting 1400 acres of wheat and she will get as her share about 14,000 bushels and will hold, most of it, hoping to get a higher price later. She has 2,500 bushels in metal bins and she has 10,000 bushels piled upon the ground. “You bet,” says Bill Purcell, her ten- ant, “Marfon will make this land pay. She"l' one of the best managers I ever W, Purcell said Miss Talley knew more e#bout wheat farming than almost any man around. “Where did you learn?” asked. she was “Well, there is s State experiment station right here at Colby,” she an- swered. “The man in charge, Mr. Coles, is very efficient. out about him and his agricultural station and I went to see him. In seven weeks I spent here I was at his station a large part of the time. One great discovery I made, through, him, was that none of this Western prairie land will produce well if it is planted contin‘iously to one crop. It will peter out in time. You plant wheat one year after another, giving the land no rest, and you will find the yields shrinking steadily. Many farmers think lh:t is because the land is wearing b Miss Talley says that when she told her friends in the East she was going to invest $50,000 in land in Western Kansas they sald it was a mistake. They urged her to buy stocks and bonds. “If T had followed their advige T would have lost heavily, as they X n stocks and @onds,” she said.
