Slang Predominates in
Calls Over Telephone
An Investigation conducted in New
York by the American Telephone
and Telegraph company’s engineers,
who listened in to telephone circuits
over which business calls predomi-
nated, gave startling results regard-
ing the decline in conversational
English. Of 79,390 words recorded,
30 simple words—principally the per-
sonal pronouns, prepositions, con-
junctions and a few verbs—made up
nearly half. More astonishing still is
the fact that >55 words, including
the 30 already mentioned, made up
more than 80 per cent. Grammarians
will be horrified to learn that “shall”
was heard only six times; while
“yeah,” “uhhnh” and “er” were plen-
tiful ; and the grunts and monosyl-
labic replies recorded ran into the
thousands.

He lived In a mansion secluded from

In costly raiment. He fed upon the

2. The beggar (vv. 20. 21).
He was laid at the rich man’s gate
in the hope of getting at least the

and even the dogs of the street were
more kind to him. Lazarus means “God

showed through his poverty.

No Delusions of Grandeur
It happened late in September. 1918,
when the Seventy-eeveotb division was
given the job of driving the Germans
out of the Argonne forest as the Al-
lied forcee pushed on toward Sedan
and Meziere* The Three Hundred
and Slxty-elghth Infantry, a regiment
of colored troops, formed the connect-
ing link between the French Fourth
and the American First armies, a posi-
tion which would place it to the fore-
front of the attack.
But there waa one soldier In that
outfit who bad no delusions of grandeur
about the part be was going to play
in the historic encounter which was
to lie fought on the morrow. The

Justice
People who are prone to declare
that justice no longer exists, can take
heart- froth this Brooklyn (N. Y.) epi-
sode. A bsndlt entered a Brooklyn
barber shop but before he took any-
thing, he bound and gagged the bar-
ber. As he then proceeded to rifle
the till, be remarked to the barber
with a grin:
"Gagging a barber is a pretty good
gag. But after all, you can’t expect a
busy bandit to stop and talk.**

When the Sheik Fell Short
Great consequences often result
from small acts, and some insignificant
object may change the destiny of thou
sands of human beings. A small de-
fect In some American-made explosive
supplied to the British during the
World war may have saved the Ilves
of thousands of Germans and coat the
lives of an equal number of English.
Up to a certain time the shells
which came from this munition factory
had been very accurate, the .timing
regular and the percentage of error
small Then the British gunners be-
gan to notice a difference. The timing
and the bursting of the shrapnel shells
waa very short. The ministry of mu-
nitions realised the seriousness of the
situation and Sir Ernest Moir, a mem-
ber of the council, was sent to Amer-
ica to investigate Ho visited the fac-
tory and made a thorough Investiga-
tion wtthqut being able to locate the
dimculty. v
Then quite by chance it occurred to
him that there might have been some
change in tho manner of handling the
powder, and consequently a change In
the voids betwen the particles of the
powder. When the head of the tnu-
ntthm factory was asked If there hail
been any euch change, he replied:
“Why, yes. We have been making an
addition to onr factory and have had
to bring the powder in trucks over
temporary roads Instead of by rail-
road as formerly.” ■ «wfW WMLfil
Immediately Sir Ernest saw his
problem solved. The powder had been
shaken more hi the track, than It had
been In the railroad cars. Consequent
ly toe velds between the particles were

The Litany of the Poilu
The Germans bad their “Hymn of
Hate” but the French had their “Lit-
any of the Poilu.” And that may have
had something to do with the final
outcome of the war. It was a trench
Jest which Is said to have originated
somewhere along the A lane, a bit ot
humor which helped break the strain
and suspense of waiting under shell-
fire? Could there be a more perfect
philosophy for the soldier than this:
“Of two things, one is certain:
Either you are mobilised, or you are
not mobilised.
“If yeu are not mobilized, there Is
no need to worry; if you are mobil-
ised. of two things one is certain:
Either you're beldnd the lines, or
you’re on the fronL
“If yoq're behind the lines, there la
no need to worry; If you’re on the
front, of two things one la certain:
Either you're resting in a safe place,
pr you're exposed to danger.
“If yos're resting tn a safe place,
’.here is no need to worry; If you’re
Exposed to danger, of two things one
to certain : Either you’re wounded, or
you’re not wounded.
“If you're not wounded, there to no
seed to worry; If you're wounded, of
two things one to certain: Either
you’re wounded seriously, or you're
wounded slightly. .
“If you're wounded slightly, there to
no need to worry; If you’re wowwlfd
leriously. of two things one Is cer- >
tsln: Either you recover, or you die
“If you recover, there Is no need
to worry; If you die; you can’t worry."

Practically all
dwellings are bungalows, white
cream colored, and usually with red
roots. Every bungalow has its broad
verandas on at least two sides, and
In many cases they extend completely
around the house. The veranda, para-
doxically, to the heart of the Suvan
household.
In spite of Its remoteness, Suva can
furnish many of the comforts to which
Europeans and Americans are used,
ft lias a waterworks, electric lights,
and telephones. There are no street
cars, but motor cars may be hired for
drives around the town and Into the
nearby country. Vitl Levs has only a
limited mileage of motor roadways,
however.
Like most South Sea capitals, Suva
Is cosmopolitan. If one stands on the
Victoria Parade of ah afternoon the
passing show speaks of many limns.
There are the young Fijians In “store”
clothes, their shocks of bleached hair
standing out from their heada Be-
hind them are Indian coolies and
traders with their women. The latter
are dressed colorfully and Jingle with
their heavy necklaces, bracelets, and
anklets. Scattered In the passing
groups a*** people of other Pacific
lands: Solomon Islanders, Samoans,
New Caledonians. Conspicuous, of
course, are the Europeans, the men
usually In spotless white, In passing
automobiles are the women to the
European colony.
Helped by the Panama Car,tl.
Hie opening of the Panama repal
was helpful to toe Fiji toiattoB. Be-
fore, the Islands were as far off tho
world trade routes as Robinson Cm

He was found dead and his body
hurried off to a pauper’s grave. No
notice was taken of it by the world,
but that he was no longer to be seen
at the gate pf the rich man.
2. The rich man.
He also died. His gold could not
bribe the messenger of death. Doubt-
less a costly funeral was held.
III. The Contrasted Destinies (vv,
22. 22).
1. The beggar.
He was at onee carried by the an-
gels into Abraham's bosom. The souls
of believers are especially cared for
at the hour of death. They go Imme-
diately to be with th£ Lord. Destinies
are determined In this life.
2. The rich man.
Though he had an elaborate burial,
he lifted up bls eyes in hell “being In
torments.” The positions of these men
are now reversed—the poor man Is In
the company of “just men made per-
fect,” and the rich man Is stripped of
his purple and fine linen and cast into
hell.
IV. Tho Reality and Fixedness of
Life Beyond the Grave (vv. 24-31).
1. The cry for mercy (v. 24). • ’■
Dives, which is the Latin name for
“rich man," was now willing to claim
relationship to Abraham. He is keenly
conscious, and the appetites which con-
trolled him while on earth were still
with him. ; , ,:i
2. Abraham’s reply ft. 25).
This reply cast the matter back upon
the man's memory. He said: “Son, re-
member.” The lashings of a guilty con-
science will be most real in hell. The
onfi supreme thing to remember will
be the cauee which led to the awful
destiny. Then, too, it will be remem-
bered that the doom to Just.
8. The fixedness of life beyond the
grave (v. 26).
Human destiny to fixed by the
choices made during the earthly life.
When one passes out ot this life he
enters into a state and condition which
is unchangeable.
4. God’s Word the aH-sufllclent light
(w. 274»). ’
Dives requested that Lazarus go oa
an errand to mercy to his brethren.
He regarded the tsstlmony of a spirit
to more value than to« Wort of God.
Many today are more Willing to trust
the rapping* of a ghoet than the sure
Wort of God. Abraham declared that
God’s Wool to sufficient—that those
who reject Mooes and the prophets
would not repent though vtotteti by one
who had risen from the dead. The

I j recent weeks struck the Fiji
X. y islands, about which there are
probably more mtscnbceptlons
than about any other of the Pacific
Island* Three popular fallacies about
the Fljls are: that they are tiny islets:
that they are typical tropical land*,
hot and unhealthy; and that the na-<
tlves are savages.
In reality the Fljls are the largest
islands situated well out Ib the Pa-
cific. Only New Caledonia, the Solo-
mon island* and the Bismarcks, all
relatively close to Australia and New
Guinea, are larger. The total area
of the Fljls is greater than that of the
Hawaiian Islands: and Vitl Leva, the
main Island of tlie Fiji group, is al-
most exactly the same size as Hawaii,
the giant of the northern island* FIJI
I* In fact, often referred to as “the
Hawaii of the South."
The area of Vitl Levu to more than
4,000 square miles, and thia Island
alone to thus half the size of the state
of Maxaachuaetta It to more tha» 75
miles long and .50 broad and contains
a mountain range with peaks 4.000 to
5.000 feet high. It is among rhe few
Pacific Islands with a river 50 mile*
tong, which is navigable by email
boats. .»
Although Fiji is well within the
Tropics, having a south latitude corre-
sponding to the north latitude of Ja-
maica. it has an uaexj<ectedly temper-
ate climate. This is due chiefly to
the considerable size to the Islands
and their mountains which intercept
the clouds and cool air currents and
bring them to lower levels. Suva, the
capital, situated on the largest Island,
has Its tennis and cricket addicts who
play In comfort. FIJI Is truly a “white
man's land.” The temperature seldom
tops 90 degrees Fahrenheit or drops
below 63. So pleasant to It most of
the year that lightweight, white cloth-
ing has not the vogue that It has else-
where In the Tropics, and garments
like those worn In America and Eu-
rope are to be seen at all season*
Ranks High in Healthfulnese.
On the score of bealthfulnen FIJI
stands particularly high. It to said
to be the most healthful tropical land
in the world. The rearing of children
by Europeans, fraught with difficul-
ties in most other tropica? land*
causes no anxiety in Fiji. One sur-
prise to the utter absence of malaria
in the Islands. Mosqulteea are pres-
ent, but they do not transmit this and
other diseases from which Europeans
suffer In other tropical lands.
When first well known to Europeans,
in the late Eighteenth and early Nine-
teenth centuries, the Fijians were the
most blood-thirsty and savage eannl-
baW In all the South Seas. Cannibal-
ism was not only indulged in when
enemies had been kiHed. these peo-
ple actually slaughtered relatives and
companions for meat They quickly
came under missionary influence, how-
ever, and the entire native population
became Christianised. The Fijian of
today Is mild-mannered, kindly and
courteous.
The natives are predominantly of
Melanesian stocks, that Is of the dark,
negroid, kinky-haired type of islanders.
There han been, however, an admix-
ture to Polynesian blood (like that
of tho Hawaiian! and Marquemna)
which has given ths Fijian a better
physique and a handsomer appearance
than those of the toll blood Melanes-
ian* The Fijians are partlcutorly raco-

binding themselves to work for five '
years. After the indenture period, '
thousands settled in the Islands to
grow cane or rice on their own ac-
count, or to trade among the natives.
Tlie indenture system was alwlished
in 193B and as a result the sugar in-
dustry seems doomed. The government
is encouraging the growth of rubber
trees, cotton, and rice. Coconuts have
been second only to sugar In impor-
tance. Thousands of tons of the dried
kernels, known as “copra," are ex-
ported annually.
Most of the valleys and hills and
mountains of FIJI are blanketed with
luxuriant vegetation. As in Hawaii,
however, the lee sides of the islands
hare fewer trees and are covered with
tong grass. Only the fringe of the Is-
lands and Ute river valleys have been
developed. Roads are few. transpor-
tation depending chiefly on boats and
launches. A surprising feature of the
