Finland.--Mounting opposition to use of both the Finnish and Swedish languages in affairs of government and at the University of llelsingfors has led to a "language War" here. v The Swedish"' population protests against proposals to make Finnish more outstanding as a class-room language at the university. The students may now elect to receive instruction in practically all subjects in either Finnish or Swedish, a throwback to the days when Swedish was regarded as the official language of Finland. fewedish also retains an Important place in the government. In the Diet both languages are used with interpreters to translate from one to the Other. Government officials are required to know something of both languages, and the Swedish Peoples' party has formal representation in the Diet. Since 1918, however, when Finland gained independence, there has been an accelerating emphasis on development of a national culture in which Finnish would be predominant A special government committee is Investigating claims that national economy could be served as well by removal of many of the Swedish professors at the university.

This •tartling, incredible yorld will actually be brought to life for the millions of visitors who will come to Chicago's 1933 World's Pair -- A Century of Progress, which will play host to the world from Jane 1 to November 1. To the average man, not acquainted with the marvels unfolded by science daring the past few years, •aeh a revelation seens impossible and well beyond the realm of imagination. But to Dr. George Boemmer, noted •dentist, formerly of Germany, now of New York, this modern miraele is an in a day's work. In an exhibit in the biology section of the Hall of Seienee at the World's Fair he will demonstrate to any doabter "there ia more in heaven and earth than iftieamt of in everyday philosophy," /£• paraphrase Shakespeare. Micro-Projection Used Using a new method of micro-projection, Dr. Boemmer for the first time will exhibit moving pictures of the everyday life of that biological nily--the Protosoa, a family of many branches of the tiniest of both animal and plant forms. Not only the aforementioned ferocious beasts, rapid-growing trees and self-bisecting insects will be exhibited, but also the activities of numerous other tiny plants and animals--inhabitants of a single drop of water--will be shown. Protosoa are little known to the public. Although scientists have observed them for over a century, comparatively few people have heard of them, let alone seen them. The reason for this is simple. They are too small to be observed with the naked eyes. Only through the lenses of powerful microscopes can they be detected, as many of their bodies consist of but a single life-eelL With apparatus combining principles of both the microscope and photo-projector, single drops of water will be enlarged to the dimensions of a four-foot screen in the exhibit at A Century of Progress. Magnified to this extent, the Protosoa inhabiting the drop of water will be plainly visible. Protosoa In Combat Protosoa monsters of this singledrop world will be seen in mortal eombat. One will watch two kinds of animalcules called Didinium and Amoeba Paramoecium in struggles that eventually always end in vie tory for the former. But the Paramoecium will not take death as his battle prise calmly. Front his slip* per-shaped form hi will shoot out thousands of eilia, hair-shaped shafts, toward the turtle-shaped form of the Didiniumy~Tfc!M turn into a gelatinous prospective coating for the Paramoeeium\ which momentarily protect him from the attacks of his enemy. His strenuous efforts do net reward him, though, because he is soon engulfed in the interior of his foe. Back in IttS, when the observation of the Protosoa was in the initial stages due to the lack of the powerful lenses that are available today, a writer sneceeded in having a short story published in the initial volume of Atlantic Monthly. This story, which described beautiful forests of vegetation with trees and flowers intermingling and a humanshaped being wandering in their midst was considered at that time to be a highly Actionized fabrication. At that period the Protozoa had not been gazed upon in such minute detail as spectators will be able to in the pictures at A Century of Progress. Miniature Forest Develops Of course, F. J. O'Brien's tale of the tragic existence of a humanshaped being in the tiny-drop world of the Protosoa has turned out to be--just fiction. But his description of the beautiful waving forests, never intended to be true in his story, "The Diamond Lens," becomes real in the projections that Dr. Boemmer will present for inspection. • lIDlaal seem of Ufa •y. 1c WORTH OF ELECTRICITY will clean fhis 9x12 rug 15 times Have you ever timed yourself u yon guided your vacuum cleaner over die rug in your living room?
