fluencing public opinion by news
paper fanfare.
European statesmen and pub
licists have assumed that Amer
leans are an easy-going people
who finally would see the sweet
reasonableness of Europe's pro-
posals for cancellation, and have
been confirmed in that pleasant
belief by amiable assurances
from American tourists and dip
lomats gone native.
Rarely have the few European
newspaper representatives sta
toned in the United States left
their New York and Washing
ton offices to learn what the
people of the hinterland thought
about the debts or any other
question. With two or three ex-
ceptions they have been busy
feeding their readers stories
about American crime and cor
ruption. Yet all the while it has
been clear to every one who
cared to investigate that the
overwhelming majority of
Americans expect Europe to pay
its debts.
Europe only now begins to
sense the true situation. The bad
feeling and the commercial hard
ships arising from England's in
sularism must be charged in
part to the failure of the British
and French press to report real
American sentiment.

Maryland, this observation will
carry more than nominal inter.
est. In the pageant of history
the State has played pictur-
esque and not unimportant part
The Religious liberation act Of
1649 was far in advance of the
rest of the world. The so-called
Annapolis Convention" was a
prelude to the Philadelphia con-
vention which framed the Con-

The Northwest Territory, which
was such great factor in hold
ing the States together, was es-
tablished on the insistence of
Maryland. The District of Col
umbia was carved out of Mary

Marylanders during these
days and months of celebration
will revive these and many
other stately memories, and all

A. C. Reiley, author of The
Story Of the Typewriter, says ::
"The typewriter has been one
of the great transforming fac
tors of modern business. One
problem which confronted The
writing machine in it's early days
was the securing of competent
operators. Out of this need arose
the modern commercial school,
now a prominent feature in the
educational system of every
country. Socially the changes
wrought by the typewriter have
been even more noteworthy.
Everywhere except in Oriental
countries the majority of stem
ographers and typists are wom-
en-, and it is historically estab-
lished that in all western coun-
tries, beginning with America,
it was the typewriter that first
opened to women the doors OF
business life"

Dreams of Typewriters
Many Machines Were Invented before
One Was at Last Perfected


How an Englishman out in
India dreamed of a typewriter
in 1857 is related in the London
Times. This was 10 years be-
fore the invention of three resi-
dents of Wisconsin resulted in
the first practical writing ma
chine, but the patent office re-
cords of England, France, and
the United States reveals that
several persons had already
been trying to perfect an instru-
ment to make writing easier and
faster.
AS far back as 1714 Henry
Mill, an engineer, received from
Queen Anne patent for can
artificial machine or method for
the impressing or transcribing
of letters singly or progressive
ly one after another, as in writ
ing, whereby all writing whatev-
er may be engrossed on parch-
ment so neat and exact as not
to be distinguished from print. !"
Mill's machine was never manu-
factured. The first American
patent on a typewriter was
granted to William A. Burt of
Detroit in 1929; the only model
Of the machine was destroyed
by fire at the Washington patent
office in 1886.
Xavier Progin, Frenchman,
invented the '"Ktypographic"
machine which is the prototype
of those of the present day.
William Thurber of Worcester,
Mass, made a machine in 1843,
and Samuel w. Francis in 1857.
One of the men to whom writing
machine patents were granted
between 1910 and 1860 was R. S.
Thomas of Wilmington, N. c..
In England Sir Charles Wheat
stone constructed several expert
mental models between 1855 and
1860. The Ravissa machine in
Italy belongs to the same peri
cd, and models were built by
Peter Mitterhofer of the Tyrol
in 1864 and 1866. The inven-
ton of Alfred E. Beach of New
York 1856) operated in much
the same manner as modern
typewriter but wrote only on
a narrow strip of paper.
Many of the early typewriters
were designed not for general
use but for the blind. Francis's
machine was a bulky affair with
keys like those of a piano.
Three residents of Milwaukee
-Sholes, Glidden, and Soule-
produced the first really efficient
machine, in that it could write
we'll at a speed far exceeding
the pen. That was in 1868. The
Remington company of lion,
N. Y, gun-makers, placed the
machine on the market in 1874.
Many improvements have since
been made.
