In all leading countries to- day, groups of clever people are working out the idea that the best way to push the world ahead is to put it back to where it was before the Tower of Babel.

For Basic English, the latest attempt to provide one, the pros. peets seem specially good.

Living Language

A new common language for all the nations of the earth comes up for attention. Unlike Esperanto and the many other unnatural systems of talk which the inven- tion of man has put forward in the past, it is a ready-made and living and while not quite the English of language. It is, in fact, English; the library, being much simpler, it is still trug English and clear enough for any purpose..

"Basic English" is the name its friends give it. They have gone through the word-book with a small-tooth comb, taking out great masses of words as unimportant and unnecessary. They have kept 850 words only. You may

NURSES AND DOCTOR GASSED IN OPERATION

OPERATING ROOM FILLED WITH CARBON MONOXIDE DURING BIRTH OF BABY

Woburn, Masa., Mar. 20. Gas felled two nurses, partly overcame a third, and rendered the attending physician almost unconscious during the birth of a baby in the operating room of a Woburn hospital last night.

A purse flung open the doors and staggered out to tell others that two nurses were unconscious on the floor inside and Dr. Thomas F. Halpin was on the verge of collapse.

"A selection of 850 words which have the power of covering tho greater part of the range of man's interests has been worked out, by

Mr. C. K. Ogden, of the Ortholo gical Institute, Cambridge Univer- sity. These, together with certain rules, make up a remarkably prac- ticable language, which is being used by groups in lands as for apart as Japan. Mexico, Iceland and Czechoslovakia.

"We find fully 1600 Inngunges acting as barriers to world un- derstanding," says Mr. Ogden. "India alone has 200 languages; the Soviet Republiè has 20,”

The outstanding advantage of Basic English is that it is not an artificial construction, like Esper- anto, Ido, Volapuk and others. It is a simplification of a living. speech, and that speech is itself in a unique position to-day, being the natural language or the lan- guage of government
