—A—6 PIGTURE LANGUAGE EXPERTIN CAPITAL Arrives on Lecture Tour of U. S.—Hopes to Aid War on Disease. A pictographic language, as under- standable to the Chinese coolie or the European peasant as it is to the American mechanic or clerk, is being formulated by an Austrian visitor to Washington as & contribution to the world campaign against disease and sickness. The author of the “pictorial Es- peranto,” Dr. Otto Neurath of Vienna, arrived in Washington Friday to start | a series of lec- . tures in Ameri- can cities on his language of sym- bols, or isotypes, as he calls them. The first lecture of his American series was deliv- ered Friday aft- ernoon at the Y. W. C. A. under the sponsorship of the - District Tuberculosis As- sociation, in col- laboration with the national as- sociation. Since the pictorial lan- guage is being largely used now in an- international war against tuber- culosis, the lecture was used as a neans of heralding the coming an- nual sale of association seals. Dr. Neurath is going from Washington to New Orleans, his second stop in & three-month tour. Seeking Symbols for Years. For years Dr. Neurath has been geeking symbols familiar to people | ip every walk of life, in every climate and every country, with which an ihtelligible story can be told without words. It is the idea which was be- hind the picture language of the American Indians, a language which | was intelligible to tribes speaking dif- ferent tongues. He is seeking to bring about a *renascence of hieroglyphics” to free | modern civilization from a word lan- guage which has become the property of one class alone in many parts of | the world, or of one nation alone. He believes that if there is to be a uni- versal, democratic co-operation to- ward the solution of such social prob- lems as the halting of the ravages of preventable diseases, there must be a universal language understand-. | able to all, regardless of language or | education. Although he believes statistics must | must be used to help tell the story, to Neurath the “pie chart,” the bar chart, the fluctuating lines of the | graph makers are wholly inadequate. In their stead he uses pictures—pic- tures of men engaged in various oc- | cupations—of boats, trains, automo- biles, tractors, oil wells, gasoline | pumps, factories, houses—all of the things which go to make up a man's | daily life and surroundings. Dr. Neurath. | Pictures Death in Pictures. To express the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis in different fields of employment, for example, he will | show solid rows of men, rank on | rank. Before each row will be a | figure showing the kind of man rep- \ resented—the clerk seated at a type- | | 1and, where he now makes his head- | quarters, and concentrated his efforts uses conventional symbols, easily un- derstood and readily explainable. Neurath, ruddy, round faced, 54 years old, has been at work on his world language since 1924, when he was recognized in his home city, Vienna, as a social scientist of grow- ing repute. He had wide expeiience with posters, graphs and popular ex- hibitions and he was called on to aid Vienne in its program of re- habilitation and social wejfare. He started a social and economic mu- seum, in which he first began an in- tensive study of graphic work to transform facts and fgures into easily understood dramatic exhibits. “It was called a museum,” Neurath explained, “but it really was a per- manent exposition. It showed what the city did with its taxes, what op- portunities and responsibilities it of- fered its citizens, and it also made comparisons with other cities and countries and other periods of his- tory.” Branches were added and Neurath's skill in appealing to the general pub- | lic grew. In 1934 the Austrian gov- ernment abolished the museum and Neurath went to The Hague, in Hol- on the international languaga. Marriage Licenses. John J. Conard. 51. Chevy Chase.

Doctors and dieticians have learned _ that sugar produces energy more rap~ - idly than any other food. Every day people need fuel to keep the body en- gine going, and the more active the body, the more fuel food is needed. This is probably the reason that children desire candy. The desire comes from the natural demands of the body for fuel, because the child is very active or because his body is srowing rapidly.
