Is Jitney Driver
Called a Itneur?
That's Question That Is Vexins
District Officials Who Must
Determine Title.

Is the driver of jitney a chauffeur
or jitneur?
Would you call a female driver Of a
scent motor bus a fitness or a chauf-
feuress?
This is the problem the District Of
hcials are tussling with In the hope OF
solving before the jitneys get so nu-
merous In the District that some
method OF classifying their drivers will
become necessary.
The odds favor the acceptance of the
term 'jitneur" to designate driver
of Jitney car. The name lends itself
to an easier pronunciation than chauf-
feur. and affords drivers Of private
automobiles. whose pridefui ownership
to the term chauffeur Is not questioned,
a clear field to the French word.
