NEW ALPHABET VERY SlMPL E
-i9nt and Dark Marks Have Different
meanings in System Just Com
pleted by Prof. Scott.
Now a new alphabet

NOW a new alphabet!
Prof. Fred Newton Scott of the Uni
Versity of Michigan is the father of
the system. He calls it simple and pre-
ulcts us adoption by the English-speak-
ing world on the theory that it will
meet the modern demands of scientific
management.
Inc new code of letters Is intended
70 save time, to shorten words, and to
make spelling more rational"
FroI. Scott, bearded, bald-headed,
studlous man just past middle age,
AFTER many months of patient study,
mas completed the system, which he
outlined in detail in a lecture before
the Modern Language association in
WANDER hall at the University of Chi
cago.

discusses the subject from the techni-
cal standpoint. These, he promises.
Will be made public in a few weeks,
AFTER which he expects to get thou

ing studious public"
The elements of the new alphabet
are so simple that a child easily can
comprehend them in two hours" said
Prof. Scott. For consonant a. per-
pendicular stroke, stem or column will
be used, to which may be added hori-
zontal projections at, the top, middle
and bottom, while dash or broken
circle should represent vowels. Each
of these marks will have one meaning
when they are light and another when
they are heavy.
Simple vowels are presented by a
dash, while rounded vowels would be
marked by circle with the open VOW

propels 1t by this means, which en-
ables him to run in any poNition he
likes. Otherwise he has to run con-
tinually in a bent-over attitude. An
other big advantage OF this handle is
that it can be raised at right angles
with the seat OF the machine, and the
pusher can jump up on a cross-bar
that will then be at the bottom, and
ride there while going down grade or
after vigorous shove, and get
rested. The time and energy thus
saved are important factors in a race.
