Barbadians Hack9 English More Than BeBop Fans Calling a spoon a mouth shovel and fork a mouth pick seems ri diculously funny parlance, but to the Barbadians who inhabit the Isthmus of Panama it is perfectly good English, according to Dor othy Bentz, Nebraska graduate of 1937, who has written an article in American speech describing the language spoken by these former inhabitants of the Carib bean isle. These people were im ported years ago to help with construction of the canal. Miss Bentz wrote: "The Bar badians speak the English lan guage, but both Englishmen and Americans have great difficulty in understanding them. Their speech reflects their highly emotional character.

For variety in their menu they buy bully beef or horse beet 'Big Ben' is not a clock, but the word for soap." At night the Barbadian uses a "night lantern' in his house; for en tertainment he may go on a ship with his sweetheart (house upon water) where he can have plenty of 'mule' and 'white splif (rum and cigarettes), and, to quote the former university student, if be should find too much of the lat- TEACHERS WANTED for Micfc, Calif., Others Rural Kindergarten Elementary Special Education Elementary Principals and Supervisor Home Economics Mmay npnrincn In Marl Salary Ariird nlra Rjuirlnc intra J7 440.
