A 23-year-old medical student, Mr. Robert G. W. Ollerenshaw, of Manchester, has made the first experiment in a technique which may revolutionisa

Early this month the first sur- glenl film in colour to be made in England was shown by the Bri tish Film Institute in London.. Production was by Mr. Olleren- shaw, who also designed and built the lighting equipment and camera accessories.

The film showed his father, a surgeon attached to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, operating in a case of "Pes Cavus," or foot in which the arch is curved so abnormally high that walking is almost Im- possible.

Alphabet That Is

3,000 Years Old

Washington, Nov. 15.

Dr. George Laman, inter- nationally Imown ethnologist ns- sociated in research with Smith- sonian Institution scientists, has announced solution of a centuries- old mystery-discovery of the origin of the English alphabet.

The story involves search of ancient Greek manuscripts, the revelation that the Greeks them- selves had no idea where the alphabet came from, and finally the discovery of the first al- phabet as used among the nabul- ous civilisations of the ancient Near East.

Aramaic, a language which spread through the Euphrates valley about 900 B.C., and a later form of which was spoken by Jesus himself, provided the key. The ancients of the Near East, Dr. Laman found, developed the alphabet, almost as it is known to-day from observing the objects at every hand.

Almost every letter of tho modern alphabet once was a pic- ture with a definite meaning of its own-from "A", which meant God, to "Y", which meant the human hand. Dr. Lamaa anid it was signi- ficant that the first three letters. A, B, and C, meant respectively God, House and Camel, or tho Deity, Home and Transportation.

With a little imagination nearly all the letters in the present-day alphabet may be identified as the pictures, modified through the cen- turies, of the objects they original- ly represented.

Dr. Laman's picture alphabet, including most of the 22 Aramaic symbols with a brief description of each follows:

A. Alep, or Alpo, menning Ox, the most powerful animal in Assyria and hence worshipped as a god.
