WHAT GERMANS CALL AUTO.
It Is Described Fully by an Express
I've Name.

1T seems to me that the German
language has bit the better of the
English tongue when 1t comes to the
name given that useful and popular
thing. the automobile said an obser-
want man in the New Orleans Times
Democrat, though will admit there
is a chance for controversy on this
point. The German for automobile Is
selbstfahrer.' meaning literally SELF
driver This seems to me to be a
better and more expressive name for
the automobile. 1t seems to me to
come nearer describing the thing than
the English word. Yet 1t cannot be
insisted that English combination OF
the words auto and mobile Is alto
gether unhappy. 1t would mean al
most literally 'self-mover.' That Is
very far from being bad. There are
any worse combinations in this day
of rap | word making. Still have
strons preference for the German way
of saying automobile, 'Selbstfahrer
seems to me to fit the bill.
by the way. the German for tele-
Ihone is not bad either when you come
to think of it. 'Fernsprecher' they say
In German. Here we have another
very happy combination. Literally
'fernsprecher' means far-speaker.
This is what the telephone is from my
way of looking at it. Possibly 1t is not
SO musical as the English word Yet
there is a deal OF poetry in the idea
of 'far-speaking.' something just bit
suggestive of the echo. do not re-
gard this combination quite as fortu-
nate as the other one to which have
referred, but 1t is by no means bad
at that. | like the other word and
think we could make no very serious
mistake IL we should steal 1t and incor-
porate 1t in the English language. 1t
might simplify our language to some
extent because of the many uses to
which we have put the prefix auto al
ready"
