AT YOUR GROCER McALESTER MACARONI FACTORY MANUFACTURERS McALESTER, OKLAHOMA. HISTORY OF SHORTHAND. Shorthand, as is generally known, is the method of writing by which the writing is so abbreviated that it is possible to keep pace with speech. It is also known as stenography (meaning compressed riting ami phonography (sound riting i. It was practiced by the ancient Creeks and Romans, not only on account of its brevity, but also of its secrecy; but all knowledge of the art was lost from tiie tenth century until the end of the sixteenth, when modern shorthand appeared in the publication of lir.

Timothy llright of his "Characterie" and also in the work of Peter Hales of iiis Arte of Brachygraphie. In 1602 John Willis published his "Arte of Stenographic," which was based on the common alphabet, with arbitrary signs in addition; it became immensely popular. Many imitators of Willis sprang up and the country of Knglaml was flooded with some good and some bad systems of the c. sort. In 1751 Thomas Curney published his system which has been perpetuated by the loyalty and hard work of his descendants who have improved the system until it is a first class one now.

His descendants have been the official stenographers in par-iianii nt since he himself invented the Farm Telephone Saved Child's Life One of the Children felt into a water tank and was rescued unconscious and apparently lifeless. The frantic mother telephoned to the doctor six miles away, and he started at once. In the meantime his assistant telephoned instructions and the mother restored the child to consciousness before the doctor arrived. The telephone service saved the child's life. THE SOUTHWESTERN Telegraph and Telephone Co, I i i i the basis of a very complex system, which aims to latest degree of brevity that is consistent with legibility.

In n. stress of rapid writing in the Pitman system the vowels are usually omitted. In recent years several modifications of the Pitman ftystem have been introduced, for instance, Craham's. Also there have been many rational systems, the most prominent of which is Cregg shorthand, which by far surpasses the Pitman system. It practically replaced the Pitman system in the west and advocates all over the world are advancing it to a place tar above the old Pnm.u, system.

The Cregg system has live striking features: I. no shading; same slope as in longhand no position writing; vowels and consonants conjoined; curves are used and I here are few angles. There are now in the 1'llited States about two hundred complete and distinct systems of shorthand, and the Cregg and the Pitman sv stems stand at the head of the shorthand world. Cregg and I'itman shorthand sys-teins have been adapted to the Spanish, French, Cerman. Italian, hutch, Welsh, Japanese and llindustanee uses.

A fair speed average of the ordinary shorthand is from iro lo 1V." words a minute for a duration of ten to fifteen minutes. Higher averages have been made for shorter periods of time. The shorthand system that is at present used in the Port Smith High School is the Cregg system, and from the beginners at the first of the year green handsgood stenographers will be turned out at the close of this year's school. Out of a lass of about en'y-one, live have ished the manual and tat ion at a reputing at present fin-are taking die-rate of speed. Students who last year finished the Pitman manual are taking dictation alongside the Cregg studi ills 'w ho began the tirst of this year, and are not any speedier than this year's students.

Mullen, the commercial instructor, is progressive in his ideas and methods of teaching, and the results are certainly highly satisfactory'to all concerned. This is his first year at the Port Smith High School and he has certainly made a success in all lines of the commercial work. PHIL ALBERT. THE MYSTERY OF THE KILOWATT. i Prom the Electrical World What is there about a kilowatt thar so mystifies the average citizen, or about a kilowatt-hour that reduces him to a state of incoherence? The gas meter has long been an object of suspicion, but in spite of its innate depravity men assume to understand it and occasionally dispute its verdict, Hut a wattmeter! How often have you heard one of the hundreds of thousands of users of electric current casually tell another how much each kilowat hour is costing him? He knows that in New York that a thousand cubic feet of gas costs him Sn cents.

He knows how much a week he pays his maid. Hut he doesn't know how much an hour he is paying that other servant -electricity and he doesn't know how he can (heck up the question, whether he is get- ting what he pays for. At best he knows that his electric light bills are about so much a month. Electricity has often been called the universal servant. It is more than that.

It is the tabloid of energy. It is the most refined and condensed form of energy, and. therefore, is available to be applied to more differ- ent things than any other form of en- i orgy. It is the best disciplined energy 1 because it moves in an orderly fash- ion and with lightninglike rapidity. Dr.

KKI.I.KV TM'ST CO. motion of these two first colisins, heat and electricity, is the difference between a panic-stricken mob in a fire and the tire drill in a public school by means of which a building is emptied of hundreds of students in less than live minutes Dr. Wheeler is responsible, too, for the expression: "Klei tricity is the tabloid of energy." it is as easy to handle, he says, as extract of beef. Just add hot water and serve in the first case. Just turn a switch and be served in the second.

It is the only form of energy that can be stored in practical quantity and used when wanted. Heat, for instance, is rapidly dissipated. You can't get horse power without starting an engine, or a horse, but you can keep kilowatts in a storage battery by converting them into chemical enegry and hold them in a glass jar for a long period of time with little deterioration.
