News Item: LocalBoy Makes Good Reexamination Of Hir's Work Seen Necessary Recent research in the ancient Hit- tite language and the growing ac- ceptance of the Indo-Hittite hypothe- sis have made necessary a reexam- ination of the views of the well-known Indo-Europeanist, the late Prof. Her- mann Hirt of the University of Gies- sen, members of the Linguistic Insti- tute were told yesterday noon by Prof. E. Adelaide Hahn of Hunter College. An examination of Hirt's views of Indo-European syntax and morphol- ogy in the light of present knowledge of Hittite, said Miss Hahn, shows that in general those views are sup- ported by the Hittite discoveries, but that there is one important exception. These findings are the more remark- able, it was pointed out, since Hirt was the type of scholar who, with a brilliant and intuitive intellect, is in- clined to be impatient with the slow accumlation of facts and to spring to swift generalizations that are not always susceptible of proof. The major failure in Hirt's theor- izing, Miss Hahn declared, lay in his dogmatic assertion that the original Indo-European verb developed from the noun, that is, that the finite verb developed from the participle, the infinitive, or the Indo-European ver- bal in, "-ti." The extreme rarity of such forms in Hittite was adduced as evidence which refutes Hirt's conten- tion. On the other hand, Hirt maintained that the original sentence was of a nominal type, that is, without a finite verb; and Hittite seems to substanti- ate this claim, since in this language such sentences are very common. He asserted also that adjectives are de- rived from adverbs, and Hittite sup- ports this assertion, according to Dr. Hahn, although among the numerous postulates of Hirt's theory are some others which the Hittite evidence flatly contradicts, yet, Dr. Hahn con- cluded, the weight of that evidence strikingly justifies the daring guesses which Hirt incorporated in his great work on Indo-European syntax. Fights For State's Crippled Children Sound Machine Demonstration Will Be Offered Dr. J. o. Perrine To Talk Wednesday; Tickets Are Available on Campus Dr. J. O. Perrine, assistant vice- president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, New York, and former associate editor of the "Bell System Technical Journal" will be heard in a lecture-demonstration entitled "Cargoes of Speech and Mu- sic" at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday in the Lecture Hall of the Rackham School. Dr. Perrine's talk is sponsored by the Men's Education Club of the School of Education. Admission is by ticket only, but no charge will be made. Tickets may be secured at the office of Dean J. B. Edmonson of the School of Education, at the Summer Session Office, Room 1213 Angell Hall, or at Dr. George E. Carrothers' office, Room 12, University Hall. Among the unusual demonstrations of scientific equipment will be that of a 600-pound, four-throated, high fidelity loud speaker; a working model of Bell's first telephone; a mod- ern "8-ball" microphone; giant and pygmy vacuum tubes; and other ap- paratus of modern communication Several 2,000-mile long distance cir- cuits also are to be employed in con- nection with the demonstrations. Mrs. Gus Barris, wife of a Saginaw small restaurant owner, started something in Michigan to counteract the state legislature's reduction of financial aid for crippled children. She filed articles of incorporation for the Teddy Bear Cooperative Fund for the University Hospital at Ann Arbor. Private contributions have been promised and will be sought. She acted after a fight to have her crippled child readnmitted to the hospital after treatment was once refused.

Police Disperse Laura Hiser To Marry M. H. Wirth Next Fall 4;y ., ,._ i . 'ru The Looking Glass Florida SO Termed S IUU vi l 1WCKelS Trouble Starts As Usual With ChangeOf Shifts (Strike Ends; See P. 1 Bulletin) DETROIT, Aug. 3.-(AP)-Violence in the General Motors strike con- tinued today to keep the Detroit Police Department on an overtime schedule while representatives of the Corporation and the United Auto Workers (CIO) maintained their quest for a basis of settlement. Several hundred policemen dis- persed 100 or more pickets at 3:30 this afternoon at the gates of the Chevrolet Gear and Axle plant on Holbrook Ave., a trouble spot for several days., The trouble started as usual with the change of shifts. As non-strik- ing workers emerged someone threw a stone into their midst and the po- lice charged the pickets. One man was arrested. Police said the stone was thrown by him and that it broke a window in a passing automobile. Companions attempted to free the' man seized but were unsuccessful. Tacks and broken glass have been spread in the street near this plant to stop automobie traffic. The Hol- brook Avenue unit is on the line be- tween Detroit and suburban Ham- tramck, a fact which permits demon- strators to retreat out of the jurisdic- tio of Detroit police as prudence dictates.

The University Bureau of Appoint- inents and Occupational Information has received notice of the following Civil Service examinations. Last date for filing application is noted in each Fall hats are flooding the market. It's a little early to be wearing them, we admit. But it's lots of fun to pick -an early model and admire it on the shelf for a few weeks. Sometimes the early models are more original and unusual than later editions. Newest is the "beef eater" model, copied from the hats worn by yeoman in the English guard. It's a squatty, blouse-crowned beplumed creation but chic in spite of the gour- mandish name. Most early fall hats are swaddled in some way-3 0.9 snoods, skull caps, scarfs or what have you. The bustle hat, each designer putting forth a different version, is causing much chatter. To be safe, though, invest in one good hat of the conservative school. A classic brimmed felt is always a requisite. * * * * Blackberry is a newish and ultra smart color to be worn with white; frosting accents on hot August days. It's a deep wine, almost black, and. most striking with a deep tan. Latest Paris reports say that the tendency is to straighten the sil- houette. Fullness is mostly pulled toward the back in gracefully draped folds. The beloved dirndl seems to be on the wane except for campus3 devotees. .* * * Tiny guimpes in contrasting colors are being set in at plain necklines to "pick up" simple dresses. These are shown in pink or blue or i even dashing fireman red or black dresses. A little "furrin" news. Guanaco is the South American fur that makes hulking coats for stadium wear. It's as hardy as it looks, and the bulky look is smart as paint. Wolverine, first cousin to a weasel, also gives college girls his coat this fall. f/ Nutrias, sheared beavers and natural lynxes are back because of good report cards last 'year and will again be popular on the campus. Leopard is again -showing its spots, this season, however, in more dressy models than formerly. n y.* * * * Dark brown is a welcome change from black. It's going to be high style this season and grand with brown furs. Dark green or grapewine are other good basics and moss green is definitely stamped Fall, 1939. Blended accessories in various shades of the costume color are being shown. It's also new to have all accessories but one match the costume. By way of sharp con- trasts, ONE bright accessory is used. This may be in gloves, hat or handbag, named in order preferred. Gold, Atlantic and Pacific blues and greens, all the mossy greens and bright red are used for contrast with black. Federal Officials Search For Person Responsible MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 3. --)- Con- vinced they had been victimized by a hoax, Federal officials started a statewide search today for the opera- tor who loaded radio channels with urgent distress signals through a hec- tic seven hours last night. In answer to a stream of erratic messages, the Coast Guard and priv- ate shipping vainly searched the At- lantic off Southeast Florida by air and water, seeking a British tanker afire and sinking. First doubt arose after the un- known operator had said his ship was the tanker Dunkwa and Lloyd's of London reported the Dunkwa safe in port at Rotterdam. Further discrepancies in the har- rowing calls-supposedly sent by a ship's officer after the radio operator was badly hurt-were noted soon but the Coast Guard didn't immediately abandon its costly search. Coast Guard headquarters at Jack- sonville commented bluntly: "The whole thing stinks." Newberry Residents Hold Faculty Dinner Helen Newberry dormitory enter- tained at a faculty dinner last night.
