The Stenographic Art Has
Again been Revolutionized
by Henry Edward Byrne,
President of the yler Com
mercial College, of Tyler,
Texas.

Some seventeen years ago, he
invented a system of Shorthand
known as the Byrne Simplilled.
This system possessed such wonder
full advantages that seven large edi-
tons Of the book have been print
ed and there are now over 30,OOO
writers of this famous system. The
system was controlled in this sec
ton by the Tyler Commercial Col
lege and it did much toward max
ing it the largest business training
school in America. Recently Prof.
Byrne applied the principles of
this Shorthand system to the type
writer using the regular type
writer that is found in the ordina-
ry business Office, using the same
type, but printing the characters
in plain type instead of using crook
ed marks made with the pencil.
This system IS called Stereotype
writing. The Byrne Simplified
Shorthand was mastered Ill half
the time required of other systems
and Stenotypewriting is mastered
in almost a month less time than
the Byrue Shorthand. 1t can be
written at a higher rate of speed
than Shorthand, can be read like
print because it is print and is so
simple that a child can learn it, so
thorough and complete that it will
record anything in the English
language. 1t is absolutely legible;
there is no guess work in the
reading. 1t is capable.of taking the
most rapid speakers; it is truly the
stenographic marvel of the age. 1t
not only means a saving of much
time and expense to those who de-
sire to become efficient stenograph-
ers but it means better stenographic
service for the business office. The
stenographer does not have to
fool with tablet, pencil or crooked
marks, but simply take the dicta-
ton on any ordinary typewriter
and when the dictation is finished

TRENCH AND GERMANS
 BREAK TRADE TIES

Paris, April 7-The debate which has begun in the Chamber of Bepu- ties on the law prohibiting conmer- cial relations of French citizens with Germany and Austria-Hu gary has developed some interesting facts re- gard5ng the comp etition French in dustrfes have suffered on their own EO1 from German enterprises.
 In chemical products particularly the smaller distinct1vely French houses are1 s7ecIared to have been systematically underso1d by DOW err fuI German lcorporations, one of them with a. capital of $6,OoO,OO0- These German enterprises, it is stat ed, not only monopelized the s< com merce in dyes and other chemical prbducts but furnished employment to none but workers of their own nationality. As soon as French were reduced to the point that it was Impossible for it to live.
 One speaker declared that not only had they monopoHzed the trade in these products but through the facil- fly afforded by the laws governing trademarks they had found ways of utilizing the discoveries of French escientists. Names and details fur nished in this debate were so con- elusive as to produce a considerable impression upon the Chamber. The Minister of Commerce informed the Chamber that the technical comm1s- sion of the patent office has in pre- paration a law intended to make such competition impossible in the future

] DYED FEW IN FRANCE DESPITE
 PRESENCE OF WAR

[ Paris. April 7-.sThe war has put Few wage earners out of employment In E'rance'' says Secretary Jouha1x, of khe Federation of Labor Syndicates of khe department of the Seine, to The Associated Press:s
 ssOf the six million workmen in France" he added, fit Is estimated axdIIion are in the army. The rest find plenty to do Building is at 8 standsti1l but other induStrfes ab sorb the, help thus made idle Ma schinists and metal workers generally in the unoccupied regions are work. ing to the limit. Nearly all the lit :. tie local machine shops, as we'll as the large establishments such as motor cer works, and engine building plants. are doing something for the army, making shells or cartridges or repair ing motor cars and other parts of the equipment.
 For . general revival of industry is necessary says Monsieur Jou- haax, samd that can come only with. the end of ghostdlities; consequently the sshopleeper suffers far more than the worker.''
 Monsieur Jouhaux. who is one of the conspicuous 11iE Etants of the rev e.Illti onary wing or the Socialist par ty and in close touch with socialists sof all European countries, predicts that the issue of the war will have a. greater repercussion upon interna- Htionalism than upon nationaIisln. sup posing the allies were. victorious Tt lis this eventualitys" he says. esfthat has had a deterring influence upon Italy. The shaking of inpsriaI1sTn. re- ] prented by zthe German allied en- pires, is necessarily disturbing to. crowned heads already alarmed by the growth of socialism in their kingdoms. The Czar understood what it would mean and has sud- denly become liberal.
 ssAs to France, a. militant victory will besworth only it's economical tri- unpl; the so-caI1ed political reforms we have fought for are really econ .oTnic since the necessary justice ito the man whose effort produces the wealth of the nation will prove an economic advantage. We have lone with politicians and politics; their elimination from our government, &Ed the war, will put an end to an equi- vocal situation.
 <The syndica1ists, whose anti-pa- triotisnn was feared in case of war have proven in the trenches what they are worth to the country, and their influence will be so much the greater. The struggle between cap ita1 and labor will doubtless be re- sllmed after the other great battle has been won, but 1t will be conducted with less passion than before
