They have no new fashion jour nals nor cloth with which, to make new dresses. Women sometimes have a hat and a few yards of rough cloth to clothe themselves. Underclothing is an unknown art icle. So are stockings for the un lucky. Women who have cloaks or furs wear them in day time but at night leave them home. If they did not they would be robbed in the darkened streets.

A newspa- per clipping ii some queer tongue, lay on the desk of Michael O'Malley, assistant superintendent of mails at the Chicago postoffice. Attached to it wa sa typewritten English trans lation. in response to a visitfr's question. "Oh, that's Vend, one of the forty one languages which our newspaper translators know." For the benefit of those who have never heard of a language called Vend, here is its story, as told by Mr. O'Malley: "What is that?" said Mr. O'Malley Hundreds of years ago, a band of Norse vikings forsook, the sea and trekked overland into what is now Jugo-Slavia. Here they found a broad fertile valley, nearly 100 miles over, l in the southern end of the present 1 down, marrying native women whose tribal tongue is the Slovenian of the i present day. ) From that union of Norwegian and the slav dialect a hybrid lan guage grew, and today their descen dants in that valley speak Vend, and in Chicago there isa native news-! paper published in that language. Vend, however, is only an incident in its translator's life at the federal building, for the man who transposes j it into English knows ten other lan-j guages. Like all the translators in j the department, where 17 men were j employed following ti.e passage of the espionage act, he was drawn j ; from the regular force of clerks and i ; carriers. At present there are six translators oh duty, reading 'news papers and pamphlets in 41 language '; and dialects, including Esperanto. I nr NEW YORK, Apil 11.

Sever German competition is causing a continued increase in the number of unemployed in Sweden. More than half the 25,000 workers ordinarily employed in the saw mills were out of work on February 1 and so were 55 percent of those usually employed in the iron and steel industry. Of the 60,000 egistered in the different- engineering trades, 45 percent were unemployed. German manufacturers are able to undercut Swedish prices by 30 to 50 percent owing to the decline in the value of the mark. Seventy percent of the miners in coal exporting districts are at work. but in other sections of the coal re- I gions only 34 percent are employed. Among the fortunate industries are the paper manufacturers, who em- ploy 05 Percent of their staffs and the textile trades, with 89 percent. GENOA, Italy, April 11.
