' Changing .The Language
Some time ago professors of English
held a convention in Kansas City and
among ^other things di^ussed the influ
ence of newspapers upon the "speech
the people. Some of the criticism was
derogatory and some favorable. •
What the professors had reference tp
was the short words used mainly in head

Those not acquainted with the job of
writing headlines can easily understand
why “probe” has taken the place of “in
vestigation” in the headlines. Five letters
are simply easier to handle than thirteen.
“Crash” is preferable to “collision”;
“flay” is easier than “denounce”; “pact”
fits better than “agreement”; “tilt” is
much handier word than “athletic con
test” or “basketball game”; and “blast’
works better than "explosion.”
Just so many letters go in a line of a

might be readily available for conference, if de

able to 'give helpful information by reason of
long experience.
Whatever differences of opinion may exist as
to the political philosophy or administrative and
executive ability of Herbert Hoover, there should
be no division on the proposition that no man
ever retired from the presidency at the behest of
the popular will with more becoming modesty or
with less show of personal grievance than he.
Whether he elects to remain a private citizen
