Varied Forms of Writing Letters

To determine whether there is any defln-
lite standard or accepted rule for opening
and closing personal and business letters,
the Russell Sage foundation has just com
pleted an inquiry into the ways of Amer
ican letter writer's. says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
In connection with another inquiry, DR..
Leonard P. Ayres. director of the division
of education set his statistical experts to
wor kto tabulate the forms of salutation
and closing in 1000 on varied subjects
written from al lparts of the United
States. When the tabulators had finished
counting Dear Sir" Gentlemen" Dear
Madam" and My Dear" and had count
ed every variant of Yours truly" Re
spectfully,'' and Sincerely" and even the
with loves" 1t was found that there
were nine popular ways or opening letters
and IL forms used by few people, or 81
salutations IN ALL while 90 different ways
of ending a letter seemed to provide all
the terminals needed for writing to bus
mess houses, friends, relatives or sweet
hearts.
Every one of the letters began with
some complimentary Introduction, and
only 9S out of 1000 writer's quit when he
was through and signed his name without
bothering to say that he was true or sin
cere, or respectful or cordial to the re-
cipient of his missive. The fact that
only about 5 per cent of these 1000 writ
ers who represent all social conditions
and all degrees of education and employ
ment, omitted the honeyed terminal words
seems to indicate that the advice of the
efficiency engineers that we omit these
now meaningless phrases and save time,
ink and paper is not gaining rapid accept
ance.
These writer's seemed to prefer in the
interest of courtesy to- make the "a use
less strokes of pen or to press a type
writer key 10 times or more to say Dear
Sir or its equivalent. All but IS of them
found it impossible to sign their names
until they had wasted "a pen strokes.

Comedy Stunts

Broadwater jump. which was the Yea
ture of the matinee program at the
horse show today And on one oceas-
lon the liberties taken with the few
gallons OF water that constituted the
obstacle developed Ii roaring farce.
Though not strictly OF international
character, the contestants had among
them the Feruch and Belgium oitcet =
who took the first three places IN "a
similar competition on "Wednesday
night.
Several horses had shown their dis
da3n for the water by making small
effort to clear II before Captain Victor
N. ssens Of the Second Lancers, started
his mare, La CraQuette. The mare
failed to quite clear tbs water on her

turned and aroused the mirth OF the
crowd by rushing back into the water
ana clearing the brush from the I'M

her under control in moment and
took the third and last trial with no
better success
Though the aii-round excellence OF

Uncle Sans Representatives TO task
there have been many occasions on
which the wearers OF the home uni

saddle. Their lack of success has
stirred up a strong sentiment in favor
of spending money literally 10 ac-

army mounts so that the United States
will have a chance to shine at the horse
show as 1t does in all other inter-
national contests.
