The personnel of the first board contained the chair- man of the street committee, street commissioner, superintendent of sewers, subway commissioner, wa- ter commissioner and the superin- | tendent of the water department. The board was officially organized by electing Chairman Edward Wie- gan of the strect committee perm- anent chairman. Following his elec- tion there was a long discussion concerning the appointment of a clerk. Nothing in the ordinances at that time provided for compensation for such an office, and as members of the board were somewhat in doubt as to what their dyties and powers were, Subway Commissioner Johnson agreed to act as clerk until the business of the board was properly underway. The rest of the meeting was de- voted to outlining the powers of the hoard and it was decided to ask cach department to submit a statement {of what work it had in anticipation. It was proposed by the hoard to take up the work ascigned to it in a their work and the streets in which they intended to lay mains. Mr. Hungerford defined the character of the rights conferred upon the gas qompary by its charter and it rela- tions with - the city. = Each department agreed to do its work on streets at the same time, so that it would not be necessary to dig up a street twice. , Since its organization the board of public works nas played an impor- tant part in the city government and many of the original rules adopted by the first board are still in use. At present, however, the board members are appointed by the\ mayor. The members are not come missioners on various city commit- tees as was the case 25 years ago. SPANISH REBELS 0 T0 ANDORRA Little Country Sheltering Many Nalcontents Ardorra, May 25 (M—This little country with 5,000 inhabitants, of which the president of France is co- prince with the Spanish bishop of Urgel, shelters many Spaniards who find it expedient to wait for Primo de Rivera's police surveillance across the Spanish border to cool down. There are plenty of nooks and crannies in the 125 square miles of Andorra where a man can make himself almost invisible. Moreover, the Andorreans, who for centuries have had border skirmishes with their 8panish nejghbors, are not prone to ask questicns of visitors who admire the fresh air and free- dom of their mountains. Grazing and foresting are the oc- cupations of the men of Andorra. They pride themselves that they re- tain many feudal customs and have a government based upon a 12th century system. They annually pay tribute to their co-sovereigns in France and Spain. France receives 960 francs and the bishop of Urgel gets a tithe of 460 pesetas in the torm of cattle and sheep ,a 13th cen- tury arrangement. The Andorreans speak Catalonian, language of the province generally credited with breeding most of Spain’s political dissensions. Some of their neighbors charge, in fact, that Andorreans’ sympathy is not always with the law-abiding elements and that they devote more time to smuggling than they do to sheep raising and foresting. The country lies in a mountain pass difficult for custcms men to guard. AUSTRALLANS EYE BYRD' FINDINGS Reports of Minerals in Antarctic Arouse Regrets Sydney, Australia, May P Reports that Commander Richard E. Byrd has found minerals in the Ant- arctic have hrought regrets to many Australians that their government did not explore the wind-swept icy wastes more diligently. Before he left New Zealand for the Bay of Whales, Commander Byrd was quoted as saying that he did not intend to claim any of the land he might discover for the Unit- ed_Btates. The inference drawn here, that Commander Byrd has cl Antarctic areas for his government, is that he thinks they are of real value, No man in Australia is better| qualified to cxpress an opinion on subject than Sir Edgeworth David, who besides being a world famous geologist, has had personal experience in the Antarctic regions. From observance he made when he was in that area, he concluded that 2 huge Antarctic coal field yielding coal of similar quality to the best Australian product, exists and ex- tends for at least a thousand miles under the Antarctic snows. Copper pyrites and molybdenite have also been found, and Professor David de- | duces the presence of gold. In Europe there are moré than 195,000,000 members of the Roman Catholic church. 15 SURE HOT STUFF Just Spill ‘0.

When anyone is forceful and effective than any oth- (¢ovon“ror o ride, gangland means er form of verbal expression, and £tudents of the languages have often decried the growing use of the pithy phrases made up of some words which seem to have sprung up al- most on the spur of the moment. and without any particular deriva- tion. “Tad" wrote “skiddoo” and the world was saying it within a fort- night. Through the medium of his newspaper cartoon characters, he gave “23” a significance that no numeral or collection of numeral ever had before or since, and so on, time after time, the language found itself with new words which were on the public tongue with such rapidity and apparent permanency as to surprise even the most expec- tant. Some years ago, there were slang expressions which hardly anyone uses today, but they filled the bill in their time, What, for instance, was more to the point when on sought to registes incredulity tha the “Humf, he will, how are you?" after the speaker had heard some- one declare that so-and-so would positively do such-and-such.. “He will like ducks” was another expres- sion in the same category, and, in fact, is heard quite frequently. in present day verbal tilts, Scrvicemen Exchange Slang The World War, which had an effect upon everything and every- body a aecade ago, did something to the languages, also. Slangy phrases, until that time known and used ex. clusively in the south or west, were heard by service men from the east and north in the camps, the battle- > fields and the high seas, and not only did a fair exchange ensue but there were born new expressions which will probably endure for a century. Not the least of these Is *‘out of luck.” A wealth of meaning is con- tained in it, and certainly it is as he has been conveyed to an. ad- vantageous spot and killed. “Bum rap” is the expression used to de- scribe an arrest without se, while 'bull” is the same as cop” and the “dick” is the detective, Collec- tively, when a gangster tells another that “a bull was taken for a ride and bumped off.”" he is actually saying that an officer of the law was captured and put to death. The vaudeville circuits produce considerable slang in"a season; prob- ably creating more synonyms for commonly used words than any other medium. Money, on the stage, may be ‘“mazuma”, ‘‘gravy”, ‘gelt”, % ‘dough”, “the roll’, “the old ck’, “the wad"”,r “the B. R.,” “pluuks” and many other things. “A grand” is $1,000, the other denom- inatiors are known as ‘‘sawbuck”, “fiinif”, “slug”, and s0 on. A man may be referred to a. “guy”, “gink”, “bird"”, “heel”, while a wom- an is everything from *a frail” ', “cutle’, “skirt”, weetie” and many Burkett “Batting for Exercise’ Locally, a few expressions con- taining combinations of slang and the bon-mot, have endured for many years, having been pasted down from father to son without suffering in the passage.
