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.

Secretaries
Skillful At
Politicking
* By JANE EARS
WASHINGTON ? 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
first two highest offices alternate
each year between the major poli
tical parties. Outgoing president
Walter Kennedy, secretary to Hep.
Gordon Canfield <H.-N. J.', who
was a president of the club him
self one time, is a Republican.
Two Democrats were seeking the
office?Bill Norman, secretary to
Rep. Bennett iD.-Fla.', and Lud
Andolsek, secretary to Hep. Ulatnik
I).-Minn. i.
"It was the greatest campaign
t've ever seen in nine years."
Marie Warme, secretary to Rep.
Miller (R.-Neb.) and newly elected
vice president 'Republican', told
me. "Supporters of the two candi
dates table hopped in the cafeteria,
put out flyers and bulletins and
electioneered right up to voting
time."
I He ciuds new second vice presi
! dent is pert and pretty Republican
Sally Bloom, secretary to Sen. Gris
wold IR.-Neb.l. Blonde young
Democratic I'at Morris, secretary
te Rep. ChudofT <D.-Pa.?, is the
new secretary, and treasurer is Re
publican Macau lay Ward, secretary
to Rep. Goodwin (R.-Mias.).
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.
We work Saturdays, sometimes
Sundays, sometimes get called out
in the middle of the night."
Anti Reds Fly Kites
TAIPEH. Formosa (API ? Main
land Chinese opposed to the Com
munist regime have found a new
way of expressing their dislike,
according to the Nationalist De
fense Ministry.
This is by releasing kites bear
ing such inscriptions as "We are
Awaiting deliverance", "Condi
tions are Unendurable", "We must
kill the Communist Bandits" and
"Long Live President Chiang Kai
shek."
