Philologists are in the midst OF dis
enssion as to what word can be coined
that will take the place of automobile.
\ shorter word is said to he needed, and
the word makers are trying to supply
the want. But when tits all overathe

words were objected to upon the same
ground as "automobile," but they have

hats and ride on mems saddles. That
is great deal more sensible innovation
than it would be for men to attempt to
wear women's clothes on horseback.
