RAIL UNION PROTEST
Hanger of Mediation Board, Has
Talk on Loss of Jobs Due
Under Office Merger.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 25.—G. Walter
Hanger, member of the United States
Board of Mediation, was in conference
today with officials of the Brotherhood
of Railway Clerks about their protest
against the elimination of jobs to be
effected under the New York Central
Railroad's consolidation program.
Hanger talked with R. J. Chapman,
vice president of the brotherhood, but
declined to comment on their conversa
tion.
The brotherhood appealed to the
United States Board of Mediation after
the railroad refused demands by the
union in connection with the merger of
New York Central offices with those of
the Big Four and Michigan Central.
The proposed consolidation, the
brotherhood says, will require 858 clerks
, to move their families from one city to
another, and will deprive 155 other
clerks of jobs. Employes who would be
affected by the shifting now live in New
York, Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
FOREST FIRES HALTED
AS RAIN AIDS FIGHTERS
Only Two Major Timber Blazes Re
main Unchecked in West.
Check-Up Is Started.
By the Associated Press.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 25.—Rain
and the unceasing vigilance of fire
fighters had checked all but two major
forest fires in Wyoming tonight, and
State and forest officials started to
check lasses which it was believed would
reach 75,000 acres of timberland grass.
Flames reported this morning near
Labonte, 35 miles southwest of Douglas,
were checked quickly, and all livestock
was moved out of the area before any
losses occurred.
The most serious fires tonight were
in Grand Teton National forest, where
they have been burning more than two
weeks, and near Shell in the Big Horn
Basin. The Teton fire was still out of
control with about 15,000 acres of
timber burned, and fires of Horse Creek
and its tributaries in the Big Horn
Mountains near Shell were spreading
after several thousands acres burned
over.
MAN-MADE ERUPTION
*IS SPOILED BY WIND
i Climax to Dedication of U. S. Park
on Lassen Peak Fall Short of
Expectations.
By the Associated Press.
MINERAL, Calif.. July 25.—A man
made eruption of Lassen Peak designed
as the climax of the dedication of Las- ,
sen National Park was only partially
successful today when a brisk wind blew
the smoke clouds away from the view
of spectators.
Dr. Rav Lyman Wilbur. Secretary of
the Interior, gave the dedicatory ad
dress. Dedication exercises at Kings
Creek Meadow, 20 miles from Mineral,
were held in a natural amphitheater,
with Lassen Peak forming a majestic
background.
Following the addresses the crowd
turned to the crater to see it come to
‘ life as it did during its eruptions of 1914
and 1915. Smoke clouds rose slowly
from the crater as smoke bombs burst
high in the air. But they did not rise
far before being blown dowm the op
posite side.

LINGUISTIC ATLAS TO TRACE
DIFFERENT DIALECTS OF U. S.
Drawl of Southerners and Nasal Twang
From Down East to Be Included
For Extensive Research.
Why Southerners drawl and folks
from "down East” have a na~al twang
are among subjects to be studied by the
American Council of Learned Societies,
preparatory to issuance of a linguistic
atlas of the United States.
Preliminary researches will begin in
New England next month and studies
in other sections of the country will
follow'. Prof. Hans Kurath of Ohio
State University, authority on Amer
ican dialects, will direct the compila
tion of the atlas
In a statement issued by the council
yesterday. Dr. Kurath outlined the
scope of the studies to be made, with
a number of interesting observations.
Women, he declared, are easily in
fluenced to change their pronupcii ion
of words.
"Every member of a woman's dub
wishes to speak like the leader,” said
Dr. Kurath. "Women are the ones who
give strict attention to radio an
nouncers. In an effort to improve their
speech, women are more inclined to
pattern their inflection and choice of
words on what they hear.
"Social prejudice in v.ord pronun
ciation is very strong. Each locality
believes its particular method is cor
rect and that any deviation is wrong.
One of the results we hope to achieve ■
through the publication of the Lin
guistic Atlas is a more charitable point
of view toward local dialects. We will
be able to show 7 , for example, that a
million people in a given locality are
in the habit of pronouncing a certain
word in a particular way. The con
clusion. we will point out. is the fact
that for the given locality that pro
nunciation is correct. In some other
place, because of habits and customs of

clared Hostility to U. S.
By the Associated Press.
CAMP DIX, N. J., July 25—Vet
erans of the "Lightning Division,” the
178th, returned to the scene of their
familiar training for World War fight
ing today under the familiar command
of Maj. Gen. James H. McCrae of
California.
' It was the first time the leader had ,
seen his men since tb- stirring days
of 1918. Maj. Gen. McCrae tomorrow
will speak at memorial services for
Lhose of the 78th who died in France.
Maj. Gen. Lucius L. Holbrook, com
mander of the Ist Division, in an ad
dress tonight said there was possibility
Jof a war with Russia in which the
■| United Stales would be allied with Ger

, "The political power in control of
.Russia has practically declared war on
the United States and is today openly
advocating at every opportunity the
overthrow of this Government,” he said.
‘‘Russia evidently is preparing to
fight the world, preaching disarma
ment about other nations. She is to
day building great munitions plants
and creating the greatest war machines
the world has ever known.”

speech, some other pronunciation might
be quite as acceptable.
"A standard of pronunciation is not
desirable except for the stage, and that
represents such a small portion of our
national life. For the sake of art. it
might be well to have such a standard,
but its use would be limited. It should
be well to have such a standard but
its use would be limited. It should not
serve as a measuring stick or basts for
criticism of some locally accepted
dialect.
"In the United States it is quite com
mon for the same object to have differ
ent names in different localities. The
greatest variety is shown in the names
of kitchen utensils and the parts of
houses. A skillet is the same as a fry
ing pan and a spider, while a tin cup
may be called a dipper, cup. gourd, or
tin and a porch is a stoop, veranda,
portico, gallery or piazza.
"There are definite linguistic reasons
for this divergence of names for a sin
gle object, but the only way to discover
these reasons is through a careful
study of our dialects. The linguistic
atlas will show, the growth in our vo
cabulary and the influence of foreign
emigrants upon our speech. It a'so will ;
picture for us American colonization, j
holding up a mirror to culture, mark- •
ing the distinctions between English as
spoken in Creat Britain and in the
United States, and other differentia
tions.
“Such information is required if one
is to obtain a detailed history of our ]
language. Probably the average Ameri
can is of the opinion that we all speak
the same language. That is true only
in a measure. As a matter of fact, in
some words there ere from 1,500 to
2.000 variable features which may be
shown in inflection, vocabulary, spell
ing or a common use in a set phrasing.”

FARM IS APPEALING
TO MARION TALLEY
Famous Young Singer Would
Like to Run Her Own
Machinery.
Speci.l Dispatch to The Btar. ’
COLBY, Kans., July 25 (N. A. N. A.).—
Just a few years ago Marlon Tal
ley was a poor schoolgirl in Kansas
City. Spme one discovered she had a
wonderful voice, and sinie then her
life has been a great adventure, rising
from one triumph to another.
Multitudes In every city in America
have crowded to hear her, and the cli
max came two weeks ago when 40,000,-
000 persons In the United States and
Canada tuned In on the radio to hear
her voice.
Only 24 years old. she has fame and
fortune —so much money she does not
want any more.
"What now do you want most to do
—what Is your greatest ambition?” she
was asked.
"To put on a pair of blue overalls and
run my own wheat combine on my own
farm."
Has No Future Plans.
"Well, you can do that. You have
your own farm here.”
“Yes, but I have tenants on all of It,
and they operate their own farm ma
chinery. I want to live on the land
and climb up on to my own plows and
combines and work through the harvest.
"I get a real kick out of farming. It
fascinates me. I want to settle down
and farm.”
"And will you do it?”
"I do not know what I shall do,” she
replied. “I have no plans at all for the
future.”
One of the reasons for an interview
with Miss Talley was to learn her
plans. She has been in retirement two
years, not singing anywhere. Her one
emergence from that retirement was
when she sang for the radio broadcast.
"Haven’t you offers of contracts to
sing?” Miss Talley was asked.
"Yes. I have plenty, but I have not
accepted any and I may not. I may
never sing in public again. Why
should I?”
"Look at the money you could make.” .
Has Enough Money.
Marion laughed. "Money! Let me
assure you of one thing,” she said (
earnestly. “We do not care about hav
ing any more money. That will be j
hard for many people to believe. Money
is not everything, I have all I shall

ever need, and If I ever return to sing
ing in public it will not be for the
money.”
Mrs. Talley Interrupted and said:
"What Marion % is telling you is true.
We do not care for any more money.
She has earned enough to take care of
herself and of all of us for the rest of
our lives.”
Marlon and her sister, Florence, and
Mrs. Talley are well liked In Colby.
People have come to recognize that
they are not at all "stuck up.”
When Marlon bought a farm 12 miles
from here two years ago she knew
nothing about farming. She had money
to invest; she believed she would like
farming and she began looking around
for a wheat farm.
WiU Hold Wheat.
It is generally understood she paid
S3O an acre. She has 1,600 acres and
she has $50,000 Invested in it and does
not owe a dollar on it. She says she
has made money on her farm each year.
This year she Is harvesting 1,400 acres
of wheat and she will get as her share
about 14,000 bushels and will hold, most
of It, hoping to get a higher price later.
She has 2,500 bushels in metal bins
and she has 10,000 bushels piled upon
the ground.
“You bet,” says Bill Purcell, her ten
ant, "Marlon will make this land pay.
She’s one of the best managers I ever
saw'.”
Purcell said Miss Talley knew more
pbout wheat farming than almast any
man around.
"Where did you learn?” she was
asked.

“Well, there Is a State experiment
station right here at Colby,” she an
swered. “The man In charge, Mr.
Coles, Is very efficient. I soon found
out about him and his agricultural
station and I went to see him. In
seven weeks I spent here I was at his
station a large part of the time. One
great discovery I made, through him,
was that none of this Western prairie
land will produce well if it is planted
continuously to one crop. It will peter
out in time. You plant wheat one
year after another, giving the land no
rest, and you will find the yields
shrinking steadily. Many farmers think
that is because the land is wearing
out.”
Miss Talley says that when she told
her friends in the East she was going
to invest >50,000 in land in Western
Kansas they said it was a mistake.
They urged her to buy stocks and
bonds.
"If I had followed their advlae I
would have lost heavily, as they lost in
stocks and flbnds,” she said.

NORTH CAROLINA WET
TO RUN FOR SENATE
Robert R. Reynolds of Asheville
Announces Candidacy Against
Cameron Morrison.
By the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE, N. C„ July 25
Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville attorney,
today threw the prohibition question
into the 1932 North Carolina Demo
cratic primary by announcing his can- i
elidacy for the senatorial nomination |
•m a platform advocating modification
or *3he national prohibition laws.
Bit candidacy, political leaders here
' piedlirted, will serve to draw a sharp 1
line between the "wets’* and "drys”
and make the liquor issue paramount
in the campaign.
Senator Cameron Morrison, whom
he will oppose, is an ardent "dry."
Prank Grist of Raleigh, State com
missioner of labor, the only other an- |
nunced candidate for the office, did
not mention prohibition in his p'at
fcrm.
“I am not half so strongly in favor
of a revision of our prohibition laws
as I am opposed to the evils they have
brought into existence," Reynolds said I
B-3
in his platform announcement. "My
appeal, therefore, is not to the liquor
interests or to the moral degenerates,
but rather to the straight-thinking
citizens who are sick and weary from
our calamitous dose of political hy
pocrisy which has been served to us
for 13 years from a tarnished spoon
of morality.”
