MAKING LANGUAGE EFFICIENT

Some efficiency genius has figured out that
there would be great saving Of space required
by printed matter II silent letters and sylables
were eliminated. Printing and paper bills for
the country, including newspapers, magazines.
books and leaflets, run into huge figures. Why
this waste? asks the efficiency man. This is
tackling reformed spelling from a new angle.
1t is making the mechanism for representing
sounds meet the same tests as any other me-
chanical device.
Well, then, why not go further and turn
scrutiny upon the language itself? Plenty Of
defects there. One in particular we are bump
ing up against every day. No personal pro-
noun In the third person singular that covers
both sexes. Rule is to say "he." That's very
unsatisfactory, because in plenty Of cases
either man or woman might be involved.
Some one has proposed, for the possessive, the
manufactured word "hiser", for his or her.
Sounds funny. doesn't it? You would not want
to use it until others had accepted it. So with
other changes The language, including the
spelling, is the possession of all and making
changes means overcoming inertia of vast
multitude

Jim Gowdy was his correct name
but he never heard it, in or around
the theatre, where he was handy

not attained the age of man." how
ever, as the coming March was to
mark his 21st year.
How he came to be- known as
"Stage-Fright" or Fright" was
hard to tell No one took the
trouble to find out, and Fright
himself simply let d broad grin
spread across his freckled counte-
nance and pushed back the strand
OF red hair when asked abQut it. He
meyer ventured an explanation, for
the name had been his since he was
little more than a fodder around
the place. His father had been a
minor character on the stage, and
the tragedy of his death in a train
wreck had been soon forgotten
among the other employees. The
manager gave Fright" enough
work to make his weekly stipend
something besides charity, and the
incident became history.
Fright" couldn't help it if he
was so homely that the new chorus
girl thought him at first the coined
ian. When he smiled welcome, as
he did when Rose Barlow appeared,
one almost expected his head to
sever. From the first, he openly
confessed to liking Rose, though
he received nothing but joking and
almost repulsion from her. She was
tiny thing, and that first winter
she gained real place in the man.
ayers esteem, so high place, in
fact, that when the leading lady
went with a larger company, the
manager requested Rose to rehearse
for the star" role in a brand new
musical"
The rehearsals began, and all
through the long, hot summer they
continued. undated. Young Ralph
BixbN playing opposite Rose, was
most attentive to her in those days.
With flashing, dark eyes and black,
glossy hair. he was envied by the
chorus girls in general.
Frequently. after the long days
work, Rose would enjoy the evening
driving with Ralph. His car served
to make easier the work of the
summer, but she seemed quite to
overlook the tempting glass of iced
drink that she often found await
ing her in her dressing room. Well
she knew that "Fright's" kind hand
had placed it there. just as during
the previous winter those same
hands had carefully placed her
wraps in a warm spot on bitter
nights, that she might be more
comfortable or the way to her
room.
''Fright's" attention seemed rath-
eP to increase In little ways that
summer and though a casual thank
you" was all he could hope for, he
faltered not.
The day of the opening at last ar
rived and the hour drew near when
Rose was to make her brilliant de-

felt confident Of her success. Ralph
came to her while the orchestra
was playing lively overture.

in turn embraced her enthusiastic

felt "Fright's" warm lips touching
her fingers. She pressed his hand
in response and whispered, Good

She stepped upon the stage and
theshuge curtain rolled upward.
The audience applauded the new
lead" and then looked and looked
again. Why didn't she speak? She
seemed riveted to the spot and
though her first number called for
dancing with her solo, she neither
moved nor uttered sound. The
prompter worked for a response in
her, but with no result. The music
played loudly and the girls started
a figure of dancing. But the pros
trated little lead" stood on the cor
ner of the stage, staring wildly into
space
Silence reigned in the theatre and
then someone in the balcony laugh
ed harshly and screamed stage

The curtain Numbered down and
the audience filed noisily out. Be-
hind the curtain Rose had dropped
upon the floor. She did not faint,
but lay like a beaten animal, taking
the rebuffs thrown at her by man
ager, girls and particularly Ralph.
No contemplate thing he could say
was forgotten. In the midst of the
confusion lean, tall figure rushed
upon the stage and bent over the
trembling girl. She smiled into the
comforting arms Of Fright" and
held her arms up to him. He lifted
her small body and gently but
quickly, carried her from the stage
to the exit, throwing a wrap over
her as they passed the dressing

THE LOVERS QUARREL.

1t takes real men to fight each other with
uhdiminished love. This row between those
eminent Kansas chums. Henry Allen and Bill
WHITE. is giving us a test of the human limit
on that kind of thing. With his arms around
William Allen Whites neck, Governor Henry
J. Allen had the former arrested for lese jueste.
With his lips to Governor Aliens cheek, Edi-
tor White dared the governor to come and
finish the prosecution
1t was wonderful example of the possi-
btlittes Of brotherly tolerance. In the ability
OF men to disagree amiably with their fellows
lies our one prospect OF making the world
safe for democracy. Our race must learn to
bear their differences without lynchinxs or
Law 10 soner. Our religious and national diff
fsrsnces must exist without giving rise to
marked demonstration and midnight whip
piAse or our internal peace is gone More dif-
fcult still. We must learn as a nation to let
other nations differ with us. Till we can wit
ness such differences without wild passion
TO shoulder arms and shoot up the universe.
there can be no stable international peace.
The friendly duel between Kansas two great
men has thus far seemed prophetic OF day
when not only the lion and the lamb but the
freedman ad the German. the American and
the Jap. the Christian and the Jew can.occupy
the same township without q riot. We dearly
hope 1t isn't true that their passions are now
beginning to rise. We had hoped that the
governor would put the editor in Jail 1t would
have been 80 splendid for an exhibition of
the limitlsssness Of human love.

happy Civilized future generations will look
back and marvel that it never occurred to us to
make Christmas out of every day in the year.
