An explorer and authority on

man will speak at 4:15 p.m tomor-
row in the Rackham Amphithea-
tre.
The topic of his illustrated talk,
which is sponsored by the fine

ological Research and Discovery in

Army Major
Serving as a major with the
United States Army during World
War H, Sickman was given the
special assignment of preserving
ancient monuments in China and
Japan.
Sickman is now curator of ori-
ental art for the William Rckhill
Nelson Gallery of Art in Kansas
City, Mo., and is largely responsi-
ble for its outstanding collection.
Five Years in China
He spent the years 1930 to 1935
in China on a travelling fellow-
ship from the Harvard-Yenching
Institute. He is the only man who
has travelled in Japan with a Chi-
nese teacher, according to James
M. Plumier, professor of fine arts.
Wall-paintings made in the
fourteenth century were discov-
ered by Sickman in Shansi prov-
ince in China. He is editor of the
Chinese art series of the Univer-
sity Prints. He received his Bache-
lor of Arts degree at Harvard in
1930.
London Slang
Of 1860 Told
Dictionary Defines
Language of Thieves
One hundred years ago in Lon-
don, late travelers on dark streets
might have been threatened with
"barking irons" and forced to turn
over their "palm oil."
"Barking irons" were pistols and
"palm oil" was money in London
in 1860, the "Dictionary of Mod-
ern Slang, Cant and Vulgar
Words" now in the General Li-
brary reveals.
The book is a "History of cant
and vulgar language with glos-
saries of the two secret languages
spoken by the wandering tribes
of London, the costermongers and
the patterers." Peddlers, pick-
pockets and sneak thieves turn out
to be the tribes and their secret
language to be a well-known stunt
of the present day-pronouncing
words backward.
