On Tuesday morning at Assembly,
Alma Schultz gave a Senior Rhetori
cal on the Earl History of Shorthand
The substance of the talk was: Short
hand is one of the oldest of the arts
and it was appreciated, learned and
practiced by highly educated men
more than 1000 years ago. The first
stenographer or shorthand writer Of
which there is any historical record
was Trio, who acted as Cicero's secre
tary, under compulsion at first, be-
cause he was a slave until his distin-
guished services induced Cicero to
make him a freeman. There are
specimens Of Tiro's shorthand notes
still preserved which throw an inter-
esting light on the advanced state Of
Roman civilization. Cicero himself was
a shorthand writer but not a skillful
one. The writing was done on tablets
covered with a layer Of wax. The
edges of the tablets were raised, so
they could be closed without injury to
the writing. These tablets were fast
ened together at the corners by wire.
The writing instrument was the
stylus, which was about the size of an
ordinary pencil the point being Of
ivory or steel, with the other end flat
tened for the purpose of smoothing
out the wax after a record had been
made. Even the great men Of those
days practiced shorthand as a means
of Intellectual amusement, and, it is
recorded, entered into spirited contests
for speed and accuracy. This fact is
an illustration of how efficiency was
highly regarded even at that early
time, and it proved that shorthand had
reached a commendable degree Of ac-
curacy.

BONDS FOR AUTO
OWNERS ILLEGAL

The District Commissioners will not
attempt to carry out the suggestion
that all motor car owners be bonded.
1t was indicated at the District build
ing today.
Commissioner Oyster in charge OF
the police department, announced
that he had been legally advised that
the Commissioners could not enforce
such a requirement without specific
authority from Congress.
So far as can be learned. the Com
missioners as a board have not acted
on the plan.
The recommendation that motorists
be required to furnish bond when
!, they obtain an operators permit was
made with the thought that II would
make drivers more careful and afford
protection against injury to persons
or damage to property.
Commissioner oyster said he also
has been giving renewed thought to
the impounding of automobiles tina;
are left standing ION the downtown
streets longer than the parking regu-
! lations permit
The Commi ssioners are seriously
considering the appointment of a new
, committee of officials and citizens to
go oyer the traffic regulations for
possible improvements
1t is understood that If such COM
mittee Is appointed William =. Emo.
nationally recognized as a traffic ex-
pert, probably will be asked to serve
as member.
