YOU remember the bicycle, don't
you-that curious animal, now
extinct, that once roamed the high
ways of this land OF the free? The
man who used to repair bicycles in
Canandaigua, New York, is John
Willys, president of the WHY'S
Overland Company. When auto
mobiles began to do the bicycle to
death, he took to repairing automo-
biles, then to selling them-and he
sold more than his company could
manufacture Then he began to
manufacture them himself, using
some discarded wooden shacks for
his plant. Two years later he was
turning out four hundred cars
week. And in l907-iust eight years
ago-three hundred dollars looked as
big to him as the national debt

WHY SHAKESPEARE
AND l ARE STRONG
FOR GOOD OLD SLANG
The Verbal Star of "Town Topics
Reflects a Bit on the English
Language
Bv BERT LESLIE


Some one once told me that as a muir
derer of the Kings English I take thu
crown. Well, l don't know that all this
honor should come to me, since am simply
one of the many who are trying to idiomize
our cumbersome language, There is 0eorEe
AIDE, who first made slang famous; then
there is George NJ. Cohan,, who has wfiften
his own dictionary, and such authors IS
Rupert Hughes, who is certainly al expert
at It, and even Robert M. Chambers ana
Booth Harrington. not to mention the
mighty Bernard Shaw
Some of our most learned authors are
fathers of slang expressions. Would u
surprise you to know that the expression
BEAT it, Is from Shakespeare And, inof-
dentally worth mentioning, since we are
celebrating the Shakespearean tercentenary
this same Shakespeare fellow Is the author
of many of our favorite expressions OF
slang, only we use them so much that we
become accustomed to them and, naturally,
incorporate them in our own language
The advantages of slang are that It does
not tie UP the tongue. Is Il not more express
sve to say Beat It" than KINDLY remove
yourself from my presence you are on-
noxious TO me-? And take the expression
sand the track, you are slipping
would take whole paragraph to explain
its meaning. Another expressive term u
Get me?'' How much easier 20 say this
than, "Do you comprehend my meaning
One of the funniest things to me ~ the
horror some people profess to have OF slang.
And they are. n rule, the worst oneno-
ers. A woman in Detroit, an officer OF the
Drama League, met me and said, I'm aw-
fully glad to know you" told her that Was
a terrible thing to say to a man on hrst ac-
duantance, but don't suppose she got me
The English are users OF slang JUST as
much as we are, but most of their terms
are strange to us, as ours are strange 70
them. For instance, there are some ex-
pressions such as "Swank," Spool,
'Souiffy" all of them expressive, but posi-
lively meaning nothing in particular TO US
The best medium we have for the exchange
| of these slang expressions between us Is the
stage And that is how and why we are
| rapidly becoming acquainted with some OF
| their expressions.
l know dictlon and ] know grammar,
| but take It from me, slang rs the shortest
| cut to what you mean every time. Most
slang expressions are grammatically cor
rect but the assumed repuBnance which
some people seem to bear toward their
| use would lead to the belief that slang
| is very ungrammatcal. Examine most Of

itself, and the whole roof of this little
divers bell of a room is a jumping, juggling
bizarrerie of motion
Mr.. King is just a bit proud of that
organ which he watches And he is even
prouder of the pride of the Stanley-venti-
lation. There are II intake fans" he
says, ito suck fresh air in. and 81 16-inch
fans to force the bad air into the false
ceiling and three big and three small ex-
haust fans to blow 1t all out of the roof"
And as he ushers the newspaper men out
the stage door, Mr.. Silver points up at a
newly plastered cylinder sticking out of the
side wall. There's the new hole / just

in his heart of hearts he wonders how soon

Mr.. Taylor explained that Jasper was
