LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
COURTESY STILL EXISTS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: se6 In the papers many complaints
respecting the inlpolteness and lack OF con-
sideration which prevail among men and
women on the streetcars and elsewhere |
am sure there is too much of this, but 1
wish to offer some testimony the other
side based on my own experience.
Many years ago 1 broke my right knee,
hip and wrist, but the surgeons fixed me
up until, by carrying a cane In my left
hand. I can walk very weli-the cane and
injured right leg working together to equal
the uninjured left leg There is still a little
lameness and signs of age have appeared
earlier than usual on account of these ac-
cidents
For the last two or three years while
living in Albany, and the six months l
have lived In Brooklyn, it has occurred
scores of times that when I got on a
crowded car young men, men in middle
life, young women and women in middle
life have sprung UP and insisted on giving
me sea-. And such favors the street
requires are given me unsolicited by police
men, inspectors, conductors and citizens.
These favors are not shown because the
people know I am a worn out preacher"
for the good people are total strangers to
me, and besides | do not look like a
preacher and often do not act like one. If
commission lie ever appointed to prove
that there is an abundance of kindness and
fellow feeling in humanity l wish to be
called as a witness.
HENRY GRAHAM.

New-York tribune., 1910-07-26

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir. It is unfortunate that the modern
speaking voice fails so utterly in conveying
thought Instead of being used it is abused
Through a failure TO employ the breathing
muscles in controlling voice there follows
a misuse of the larynx, which produces
harsh, disasreeahle tones that fail to con-
vey to the mind of the listener the meaning
of the spoken words.
Little attention Is paid to n1odulation the
words being allowed 70 come into the air
without regard to pitch, few persons caring
10 take the trouble 70 suit the quality of
the voice TO the thought which is conveyed
by the words. the majority using a high,
shrill voice that pierces the ear and carries
with il little else than noise. So, also is
articulation much neglected, some words
coming into being without a head, others
with a muulated body and others without
a tail-especially Is the appendage missing
from words ending in "g,'' such as go
ing, coming running and jumping -
These faults are not committed by the
unschooled alone, but by the educated as
well. clergynen, lawyers, teachers and
actors being among the offenders.
It seems to me an Improvement has taken
place in the quality of the speaking voice
Ol AilcilCaAS curing the last lew years,
owing. I believe. TO the use of the tele-
phone, but the improvement is only super
fetal. and radical remedies must be applied
before the reproach Of possessing poor and
disagreeable voices can be removed from
Americans
Mend your speach a little,
Lest It may mar Your fortunes.

case of creatures which serve no good
purpose save for game at times when
il is permitted to take them, such as
rabbits. there is rational ground for COM

not be protected in thickly settled re-
gions where they can do much harm and
where hunting game is an anachronism.
But the birds do incolnparably more good
than harm, and those who complain Of
their mischief would have far more
