at the annual conference of the british national federation a resolution was adopted to ask the press and public to refrain from calling shoe repairers cobblers the word was said to be derogatory a stigma and un worthy of skilled men belonging to an ancient craft only one delegate expressed opposition and he took the prac tical view that people could call him what they liked so long as they paid cash over the counter the word cobbler used to be more often used than it is now it was and is a less cumbersome description than shoe repairer it never occurred to us that there was anything derogatory in calling a skilled man belonging to an ancient craft a cobbler but we find that it is websters dictionary says that a cobbler is a mender of shoes a clumsy workman and also a mean person cobbling is described as to mend coarsely to botch the concise oxford dictionary also defines a cobbler as a clumsy workman from now on we will defer to the wishes of the skilled men belonging to an ancient craft theyre shoe repairers to us strike two john l lewis has again told the 450000 coal miners of his union to stav home from work it is the second such order this year he does not call these stoppages strikes for the men cannot strike legally unless preliminary steps are taken which mr lewis has not deigned to take the first twoweek strike last march was termed by him to be a memorial period this time the walkout is arranged so that industry may stabilize itself it is legally justified by mr lewis as an exercise of the right of the individual to work only if he wants to and to quit when he wants to mr lewis has done much to better the wages and working conditions of american coal miners but sometimes he carries his efforts so far that even other union leaders suspect that he is setting himself up as a tyrant over the american economy even mr james l petrillo czar of the musicians union and no mean dictator himself is saying harsh things about mr lewis john l lewis is nuts i say he is not a faithful labour leader and not faith ful to america these unkind words may mean no more than a mild fallingout between bloodbrothers but the peterborough examiner puts it another way and is wonder ing if mr lewis is swinging the big stick more often than is good for him his miners and his country this is strike two the language of the ball diamond is strike two foul ball strike three youre out sauerkraut and barns pennsylvania dutch one is informed by an announce ment in the first issues of the dutchman is a modern living language spoken in southeastern pennsylvania originally our forefathers who came over here by the tens of thousands between 1683 and the revolutionary war spoke a conglomeration of different german dia lects the main one however was the palatine german dialect from the region along the rhine known as the palatinate then the announcement asks isnt pennsylvania dutch half english and promptly answers its own ques tion with a resounding heavens no adding that in the teutonic jargon common around lancaster english words scarcely make up even five per cent of the total and anyway they always have to be a bit dutchified before you may use them in pennsylvanias dutchland the inhabitants are proud of the cuisine bequeathed to them by their rhineland forebears so it is no surprise to find the new weekly touching upon the gastronomic learning of sauerkraut cutters and quoting a local gourmets remark that there are only two esskulturen culinary cultures in the world french and pennsylvania dutch it also flatters local pride in the rich and bountiful farmlands created by early germanic settlers by recalling that a visiting europ ean recently called pennsylvania dutch barns the most beautiful barns on earth there are rules for- strange old games still popular in dutchland ads printed partly or entirely in pennsylvania dutch and droll anecdotes of the troubles encountered by some dutchlanders even to this day when confronted with the pitfalls of english as for instance in pennsylvania we have the darndest time with the english verbs let and leave we go around saying leave the cat go out and chust let the book there on the table some time ago a tailor in lebanon was making a suit for a rather largeproportioned man after meas uring and twisting for some little while the tailor at last exclaimed ya veil it is pretty tight across the back so i guess ill chust have to leave the seat out and there is the tale of george kremer salty pennsyl vania dutch member of congress from 1823 to 1827 who after listening impatiently to a speech by the famous virginian john randolph plentifully sprinkled after the fashion of the time with latin and greek rose in high dudgeon to pour forth a torrent of pennsylvania german upon the head of his amazed and startled colleague when kremer sat down covered with perspiration randolph re quested the honorable gentleman from pennsylvania to enlighten the house and the country by translating what he had just uttered he got back this blast i have only to say in reply to my friend from virginia that when he translates the dead languages which he is constantly using for the benefit of us country members into something like english i will be equally liberal in translating my living pennsylvania dutch into something that the house can understand florida to michigan ix a

reading of these letters and reports occupied the balance of the morning session the first report of importance was on a survey of the county jail by assistant inspector s e lough tendered to sheriff bascom by the department of reform institutions the inspection was made in may 1919 shortly after the discovery of partly sawn bar in a wash room window prevented a jail break a bill of s18240 was received re presenting costs of repairs and ad ditional protection suggested by the inspector to prevent a recurr ence of the attempted escape screens of finer mesh were placed on windows opening into the street so that contraband such as hack saw blades could not be passed through to prisoners and the jail door steelclad to ward off frontal attack presumably metal cups have been in use in the goal
