send to-state, vbttrrty afid muHicIpal-
officials printed forms for listing
estimated construction needs in
their respective jurisdictions. With-
in1 a month or „so, the completed
.forms should be in the hands of the
various state planning boards for
use as the basis for a six-year pro-
gram. »
Federal planners are hopeful that
this program will encourage state
and local governments to prepare
their public construction budgets on
a long-term basis rather than an
annual one, in order to, promote
rriore effective planning and more
economical administration. PWA
■has already under preparation a
similar long-range program for Fed-
eral public worksr." --------
In a study made public two Shears
ago, the national resources com-
mittee estimated that the value of
needed public works of all kinds
during the ten - year period from
1935 to 1944 was $24,000,000,000.
This estimate was based" solely on
an extension into the future of the
capital outlay of the entire United
States, including both Federal, state
and municipal public works, for the
ten years beginning with 1921. •*
The average annual expenditure
for this period was about $2,400,000,-
,000. This extension made no al-
lowance for the factor of growth;
so the committee regards the $24;-
000,000,000 estimate as a minimum.

Dead Sea Is Gradually
Coming to Life Again
- Jerusalem.—The Dead sea, the
strangest body of water in the world,
is, slowly coming to life again. .
Lying 1,300 feet helow the level
of the Mediterranean, receiving
an inflow of 6,000,000 -.tons of wa-
ter daily from the^River Jordan
without an outlet, the sea has
puzzled archeologists and geologists
for centuries.
Today modern science is taking
out potash and bromine—and the
Dead sea area is alive with activity.
Once barren and thought useless,
•the sea’s shore line is pow ringing
with the sound of hammebs as a new
potash works, .with a 30,000-ton
capacity annually, has brought on
a building boom, ,
Resorts put up'by British capital,
in and around the Dead sea, are
bringing thousands of vfsitors to the
sea each winter, and homes and
Works buildings are springing up
like mushrooms.
Great Britain is closely watching
the potash processes, for the Dead
sea is her only source of potash and
bromine in the emp'ire—and it will
come in handy if war sweeps Eu-
rope and the world again.

Red Plane in Nonstop
Flight of 5,858 Miles
Moscow.—An airplane whict). may
revolutionize aircraft design
made a successful-5,858-mile non-
stop maiden'flight in Soviet Russia.
The machine is known as the ANT-
25. It has been perfected by Profes-
sor A. N. Tupelov. -
The machine is a monoplane, with
fuel tanks in the wings;. ^ Special
ballons of light rubberireti fabric
take the place of. floats to enable
the machine to land on water. A
• These balloons are connected by a
^orrimon feed so that the pilot can,
by pressing with his foot, inflate the
Balloons and fill all of tfiem with air
in two minutes. •*
In the event of a forced landing
on water, this bailopn system, it is
claimed, would enable the airplane
to stay afloat for a cigisiderable
period. The machine is alsikthg first
Soviet airplane to be equipped with
an electrically-operated retractable
under-carriage' fitted with an oil
shock absorber.
New York,—If Noah Webster, fa-
mous for his dictionaries, had had
his way, “character” would be
Spelled “karacter,” Chorus” would
be “korus,” 'and “machine” would
be ‘‘masheen,” Dr, Irvin C. Shoe-
maker reveals in “Noah Webster,
Pioneer of Learning,” just published
by the Columbia University Press.
As early as 1789 Webster, who was
one of the first to advocate a uni-
versnl system of American educa-
tion, urged that all superfluous silent
letters be omitted, so that the words
“bread,” “give,” “built,” “meant”
and “friend” would be spelled
“bred,’L “giv,” “bilt,” “ment,” and
“frend,” says Dr. Shoemaker, who
Investigated hundreds of early
colonial school texts, dictionaries
and spellers now out of print. Ac-
cording ttt Webster’s plan, “grief”
would become “greef,” “key”
would be “kee,” “draught” would
be “draft,” and “laugh” woiikP'be
•■laf.” - •^••.
Although few of his extreme "sim-.
piffled” spellings remained in dic-
tionaries after I860, Webster’s zeal
for reform marked the beginning of
the controversy over the respective
merits of' American English and
English English. ...........
Fired by Patriotism.
Webster, • said to have been fired
with patriotic zeal at the *blose of
the Revolution, gave as one of his
reasons for the new spelling the
wish, “to make a uniform pronun-
ciation possible among people of
all ranks.” The simplification, he
held, would also-create a national
language which would prove a bond
of hationaH.uhity and would.make it
necessary to print American books
in the' United States. It would re-
duce the number of letters to such
an extent-that one page in eighteen
would be saved in the average book;

tuated, each country laying claim
to superiority,” Dr. Shoemaker
points out. “Among the differences
was that which existed in the lan-
guage spoken in the two countries.
In consequence a hue and cry was
raised which was, out of all pro-
portion t6 the slight difference which
actually existed. Webster deplored
the fact that in many purls of
America, people were attempting
to copy the English phrases and
pronunciation.
“Of the spirit of his time and of
the newborn nation, Webster stands
to a unique degree as a symbol. The
growing consciousness of American-
ism was more rampant in him than
in any of his contemporaries.. He
looked upon a uniform language as
a tie that would further political
and social harmony, and that should
the confederation become disrupted,
even then, a uniform speech among
the parts would be to the advantage
of all concerned.
* Sought Uniformity.
“Time after time Webster stated
that he looked to the schools for aid
in bringing about the uniformity of
language which he deemed essen-
tial to the headthy political life of
the Republic. Because of Webster's
many activities, the intrinsic valuw
of his texts and dictionaries, and
the aggressive business methods
which were employed to increase
the sale of his texts, a great interest
was aroused in the study of lan-
guage ,apd the day was hastened
when the study of EngjjLh occupied
a protninent position in the curri-
cula of American schools. —'
“Webster’s extreme reforms were
not introduced in his speller, but the'
reforms that were introduced in
this work were generally those that
have been adopted. It is probably
due to Webster’s efforts to reform
the language theft’ the Ehglish lan-
guage in America is more uniform
than'it is in England or. than is the
language spoken by the people liv-
ing in various sections of any other
large country. Perhaps for the same
reason, proriunciation'-in 'America

Raising of Storks Is -
Attempted in England
Maidston^, England.—The Eng-,
lish are trying to find out why the
stork, which reputedly, has brought
so' many English babies, never- it-
self has been born in England.
Storks native to certain parts of
Germany and Holland, never) have
nested wild in this country.
But soon a party of ornithologists
will gather ’round a secret tree
somewhere in Kent in the hope of
setting eyes- on 12 newly hatched
storks foster mothered by English
herons, for recently a dozen storks’
eggs were sent here from the bird-
watching station at • Rossitten in
East Prussia and were placed in
nests in a Kent heronry.
Later Rossitten will send 20 young
storks, which will he housed in arti—
fleial nests and specially marked so
that when they fly away their move-
ments can be traced.
