liALK \ V ^ >Y VIVIAN BROWN J Some teen-agers'enjoy the same slanguage their Moms used to1 tease grandma and grandpa, ac cording to a survey made by the Atlanta Constitution. The patter listed most frequently as "new." today, includes "so long.1' "hey." "how's tricks." "long time no see" J and "don't take any wooden nirkles." <Of course grandma would have j been appalled if Mom had taken part in the slumber parties en joyed by these same young peo ple. But today these are chaper oned properly and spend-the-night parties are the rage in other cities besides Atlanta.) So intrigued with old-time slang was Judith Kirk of I^iog Beach, fal., that she wrote in the student weekly of Stephens Junior High School the following article found in the 1923 files of a local paper "... Dear old block, "That was a peach of a present you sent me, but 1 want yoij hep to the fact that all the wise guys here, and they're a classy bunch haven't the drag on the old man's bean that your hopeful has. 1 went to a shindig last night, and the gate crashers nearly j knocked over the jelly beans when they rushed the flaps we shieks im ported. One of the girls wore a howdah and a beast fell for it, leav ing his drag for me to escort home. "So far, mv marks are all to the velvet, and so I've been no killjoy in this Utter . T.'" Miss Kirk translated the 1923 letter into day's jive slang which would go like this: y, "Dear Dad: "That present you sent me was real eti-a-z-y, hut I want to put you wise to the info that all the cats here, and they're a gone, hut gone, gang, haven't the dope on the moneylender that yours truly has ~ weni 10 a real cooi nan tost night. and some uninvited squares nearly flipped a wig when they i scanned the dolls w> eats drug alone. One of the Miss Fines wore a eassy vine and a wolf fell for it like a lead balloon, leaving his dish for this man Jo tow home . . But while some of the kids wal low' in jive, reports are that other Sections of the country scorn the slang craze In the Granite State qf New Hampshire for instance, our correspondent tells us that young people are "devoid of foibles, slanguage and rages at this time." At the Indiana lligh School Press Assn. convention. some 17-year old girls snorted hand-painted skirts. The drawings including poison skull and hones, telephones, household pets and lingo made a great hit. CLEAN CANDLES Candles may be cleaned with a cloth dampened in alcohol.

Capitol Hill secretaries out-politicked their bosses in their campaign to elect <-i president for their up-and-com ing Congressional Secretaries Club. The organization of some 1.200 members, 80 per cent of- them v.omen, is made up of administra tive assistants, secretaries and clerks to senators and congressmen and committees of Congress.

The monthly meetings are purely social, and political subjects are by-passed. There's an annual ban quet in the spring, and the secre taries could show their bosses some real social junketeering. Last year they made two group trips to New York and two to Florida and spent the Thanksgiving weekend at the swank Hotel Greenbriar in White Sulphur Springs. W. Va. Some BO persons, including husbands, or wives, took that last one in. "We just want to get together lor fun," one member said. "But we would like to get some legis lation from Congress in the way ot security. We have no job guar antee like other government em ployes. We have no retirement plans, no vacation or sick leave, no eight-hour day. no overtime. Some of us average 11 hours' work a day.
