QUILL PENS GIVE WAY
TO MODERN STEEL ONES

LONDON, Oct. 18.-Quill pens
have been abolished at Southwark
county court. This breaks a ira.
dition of $50 years, and deprives
barristers of an implement of many
uses.
Quill pens in skilled hands have
been known to be useful for other
things than writing. They were
waved to drive home arguments
They were flourished to distract at,
tention from some specially obvious
flaw In reasoning. Stubborn and
umld witnesses often were i'm
pressed by a quill twirled in time
with the legal twitch of the eve
hrOWS.
The last quill pens have been re.
moved from the court and cheaper
steel pens substituted.

agreement and submitted its re-
scenes behind locked doors marked
on the khan issue but 1t was said
the way had been paved for adop-
ton of the report without a fight
on the convention hall.
An effort, however, may be made
by some Of the radical opponents
Of the khan to attempt to amend
the resolution by specifically men,

The report contained the follow

as the answer to requests that the
