At every riverside village the little steamer pauses while some of the passengers leave and others promptly take their places, to the accompaniment of much chatter, much laughter and nothing resembling haste. Little in existence is of less consequence than time to the Burmese. Clocks and calendars hold for him as little significance as to a five-year-old. Haste is merely misdfF rected energy, and the four-mile-an- hour Irrawaddy steamer, with her long wayside tarries during which plenty of social intercourse is possible, is the ideal method of travel.

At the same time the committee felt it necessary to protect its de- cisions regarding certain words from 'assault by the academicians, and Floyd Jones, lecturer on phonetics and a ber of the ittee, sald: "It must not be forgotten that a pronunci- ation is not bound to be right merely appears In a dietionary because it was correct in the view of the lexico- grapher at the time. It {s evident that we are not entitled to conclude that there is one standard pronuncia- tlon--one and only one right way of speaking English. There are, how-, ever, varieties that are' acceptable | throughout the country and others that are not. No special degree of authority attaches to 'these recom- mendations which are primarily In- tended to secure some measuré of uniformity in the pronunciation of broadcast English and to protect an- nouncers against criticism." Announcers hereafter will therefore pronounce "celtic" with "s" instead of "k"; and will say "deficit" instead of "def-icit" and "airplane" instead of "aeroplane." "Dal" must rhyme with "ofl." "Esthetic" is now "eesthetic." The "h" is sounded in "humor," and "pat-riot" must be used instead of "pa-triot." "The educated speech of London" (of which the foregoing words are examples), concludes Mr. Jones, "starts with a heavy handicap in its favor." When will. our Toronto stations insist that the proper pro- unnciation of ordinary every-day words and first-book grammar be the first qualification of thelr announcers?

All ships, both governmental and commercial, must have four call let- ters and land strtions must have three call letters. The International Radiotelegraph Convention stipulates that stations "must have cal} leters designating the country of their location. The re. | Bulations of the convention will be- come effective January 1, 1929. To enable the radio division of the De- partment of Commerce, the national supervisory body, to put its records in order for the other changes, rules regarding the call letters have been made effective In thig country Octo- ber 1. The radio officials decided that the three cal] letters requirement for land stations is not applicable to broad- casting stations, as the change would work a severe hardship on some broadcasters, who have become wide- ly known and have won prestige with thelr present four-letter designations. Amateurs In the territories and possessions of the United States, such as Alaska and the Phillippine Islands, have been assigned the prefix letter lug» The key letters are for the pur pose of identification In case the sta- tions wander from thelr assigned ' frequencies. It is expected that these | prefixes also will facilitate identifica. tion when amateurg on different con- 'tinents converse with each other. The key letters of the Canadian amateur are "C" or "VA," the Cuban is "CL" and the Mexican "XA."

Except for the few trails most of the Ordos and Alashan is quite une known, both geographically and geo- logically. Manco Holo crossed the area on his journey to China, and dur- ing much of the summer the expedi tion will be following in his footsteps. The Chinese city of Ninghsia and the Mongol trade center of Wang Yeh Fu will be the headquarters for work. * Asia Was Free From Ice "During the Glacial Period in Eur ope and North America, Asia was free from ice," Professor Cressey explain- ed. "Mongolia, furthermore, appar ently bad a much more moist climate. This problem fs of more than theoreti cal interest for climate controls vege- tation, and thus influences animal life. Since Asia seems to have been the center of human evolution, climate throws light on the habiabifity of this area.

While no direct search is to be made for ancient man, it 1s important to note that the -best evidence of early man so far found In central Asla is on the Bordérs of the Ordos near Ninghsia, "The desert is the geologist's para- dise.

Prejevaisky and Obruchey, two Russians, visited the region sixty years ago, and most of our knowledge dates back to them." Traveled 2000 Miles In Mongolia Professor Cressey has over two thousand miles of travel In Inner and Outer Mongolia to his credit. Both the Ordos and the Alashan were visited by Professor Cressey In 1924 on the return from an expedition to Koko Nor in Tibet. There was no op- portunity for detailed studies at that time, but hasty examination indicat ed several promising areas. Since that time the few available reports of earlier explorers have been ex- amined and definite projects mapped out, An attempt to continue work in 1026 resulted in an attack by brigands, before the area was reached.
