Frenchn1Gn Urges
Quilts for Writin0

PARIS, June 2 G.N.SD.-The
fountain pen and the typewriter
are running good French writing.
declares Prof. Fortunat Strowski,
member of the French Academy
He is warning Frenchmen that
their language and their litera-
ture are being changed radically
by these two modern inventions
and reminds them that the great
authors of the Sixteenth and
Seventeenth centuries made use
of goose qu1ls.
In those days, the writer was
patient, slow and precise. Their
manuscripts looked like the works
of monks. Writing became less
laborious with the era of the
steel pen and when the fountain
pen came in, hackneyed phrases
and ordinary words came with it
to threaten the beauty and order
illness of French writing.

1t is no wonder that the 35-
cent cabs are taking business
away from the street-car com.
panies. They are giving a better
service.
1t is a great step in the direc-
tion of better and cheaper trans
portation. Instead of getting
into a crowded car three or
four people can now ride to
and from work quicker and in
more comfort in one of the cheap
taXiS.
The traction companies would
do better to put more effort in
the direction of giving more ef-
ficient service and in getting
more passengers to ride so that
they can make money instead of
trying to take the easiest way
out by demanding a higher fare.
