"Those guys have rods-we're on
the spot," boomed the character on
the screen.
"I'd give fifty grand to be out of
here," replied another.
And the audience, perfectly fa-
miliar wi,th English as it is spoken,
listens without a murmur to a jar-,
gon that would have been unintelli-
gible a short two years ago.
The development of gangster talk
through the gunman film is one ex-
ample of the way the language
grows-not the only way, but one
of the ways. All trades, all cliques,
all guilds and professions have
slang.
The human being seems strange-
ly desirous of building up a tongue
that is known only to his cult. The
gunman slang is one of the very
few that is becoming known to the
public at large.
Hardly an American todayrto so
behind the times, as not to recog-
nize "on the spot" as a term for
being placed in a situation subject-
i
CUT IN APMMEN
ing one to violent execution accord-
ing to gangster law. d
l "Taking him for a ride" is al-
most an every-day phrase. Few do
not know that a "grand" is $1,000,
a "rod" is a gun, a "stretch" or
"rap' is a prison sentence, a "stool"
is an informer, and a "moll" is a
gangsters girl.
The strange, yet vivid and power-
ful, phrases and words are only an
infinitely small proportion of the
class slang that decorates all busi-
ness and professions.
Newspaper Language.
The newspaperman, nowever, rec-
ognizes his own slang, and knows
that the person mnentioned as "the
one in the slot in the lobster shift"
is sitting in the main position on
wide, circular copy desk from 3 a.m.
to 11 a.m.
Thus a "flash" is a warning by
wire of a big news event just
"breaking" or coming in; a "fudge"
is not candy to a newspaperman
but a last-minute insertion of an
important late story on the front
page; a "bulldog" isn't a canine,
but just an early edition; if "your
weather ear is pied" you seek no
medical relief but straighten the
typographical errata in the small
box at the top of the front page
that carries the weather report.
The "masthead" has nothing to
do with shipping. columns, being the
data concerning the paper that al-
ways sits at the top of the first
editorial page column. A "legman"
almost explains himself as a report-
er who does the heavy walking on
a newsbeatsand who telephones his
stories to rewrite. Then there are
"by-lines" and "pi-lines" and "dead
lines" and "date lines' to jumble the
argot.
Other walks of life have their
own code, too.
"I was stealing a job from a ba-
nana,' says the taxi driver, "but the
eel showed up so I cruised and got
a long haul. He was 'a flat and
rolled back empty."
.It becomes intelligible if you
know from a taxi-man that a "fare"
is a pick-up in taxi slang. A "job" is
a fare picked up while cruising. To
"steal" is to cut ahead of your turn
in the line-up. A "banana" is cant
for a Yellow Cab. The "eel" is slang,
for the roving taxi inspector. A
"long haul" is one that takes the
driver from the center of the city
to places where fares are infrequent.
A "flat" is not a flat tire but a fare
who does not tip the driver.
And so it is with all crafts. News-
papermen are perhaps the only per-
sons knowing more than one craft
slang.
Sunday night will be a gala one,

chestra playing the last two move-

Find Detroit Student
Dead of Shot in Car
DETROIT, Oct. 3-(AP)--Sidney
Katz, 19-year-old high school stu7
dent, was found dead of a bullet
wound Friday night in his broth-
er's car parked on Nineteen Mile
road in Oakland county.
Although the pistol from which
the bullet was fired was found on.
the seat beside him and a note
indicating he had taken his own
life was discovered in his pocket,
officials were investigating some
circumstances which aroused belief
he might have been slain.
Chief among those circumstances
Coroner Lee Voorhees of Oakland
county said, was the fact that the
rear seat of the car was bloodstain-
ed, although the body was in the
front seat and the wound had bled
but little.

dents at the University of Kentucky

ROMVE, Oct. 3-(?) -Limitation
of armaments and settlement of
war debts and reparations were
advocated by the grand council of
Fascism today as the most effec-
tive remedies for the world-wide
economic situation.
Premier Mussolini, chairman of
the council, in meeting Friday
night and early today, reaffirmed
his long-standing conviction that
reiminders of the World war must
be wiped out in order to restore
genuine peace and prosperty.
Foreign minister Dino Grandi's
proposal for an immediate truce
on arms to last until the disarma-
ment conference in February, sub-
mitted to the council of the League
of Nations, was said to have "sur-
mounted prejudice and placed the
international arms probSem on a
realistic and concrete basis."
Fascism's example in acting
quickly to meet the emergency
within its own borders, it was said,
should be made known to the world
as a helpful and effective influence.
