EFFICIENCY IN "NEWS STYLE" j Columns of the Modern Journal Con- '' tain. It Is Claimed, the Best of English Phrasing. It 1h seldom that a good word is Bald in academic circles foi1 what is termed "newspaper Phiglish," meaning the terse, trenchant style in which the best journalists are in the habit of ex pressing themselves. The College of Journalism, however, 'recognizes the value of this style, and Prof. F. W. Beekman, a well-known educators, says: "With all it? faults i still believe in j the news style as the most efficient j j style of this modern day of presenting [ I information through the written word, j It has been hammered out in the heat t and stress of newspaper work to meet the demands of the millions for sonie ; tiling to compel their attention, inter j est them and give them information I in the quickest, clearest way possible." There is much truth in this, but riot j all thu?--truth. So-called "now^p^per i Kngllsh" lias left its indelible mark on | the literature and especially the tic j tion of our times. The most success ful stories are those told in the few j est words. The old-fashioned (lowing j peiiods, which produced verbal ru? lody | instead of recording facts, have lost : their charm for novel readers, whose j eager brains are anxious to absorb the j tale rather than linger over ' fine ! writing." Vain Pomp. Wilson Winthrop, at a dinner at his j Riviera villa in Nice, said of New j York's new rich. I "It is incredible how many servants I these people have tumbling over one anojlyr. Pass their palaces of pale ! limestone fronting the park, and you'll | see a lackey at every window and two i at every door. I "They tell a story about a Fifth ave ; nue food king who, blustering into the \ house at four o'clock In the morning, | growled: "'Hello, where's all the servants'." " 'If you please, sir,' the butler an j swered respectfully. 'when it came j three o'clock I thought you Was spend i in' the night out, and ventured to send ; most of the footmen off to bed. sir .' "'Humph.' growled the food king, j 'Ventured to send 'em off to bed, eh?' | Fine piece of impudence! Suppose I'd i happened to bring a friend home? j then there d only have been you seven to let us in.' " Voice Restored by Paraffin. At a recent meeting of the Munich i Aerrlicher Vermin. Doctor Kretsch , mann exhibited a patient who. about j one year before, had received an in j Jection of parafll n In a paralyzed vocal cord, band The voice was at first ; rough and without much resonance, I but now it has become natural The , position of the cord Is also natural to ! a certain extent, but when the cords i touch In phonation the arytenoid cartil j age of the paralyzed side is seen to j undergo peculiar movements These, I we are told, must be due to the action of tho cricothyroid muscle, which Is j innervated by tho superior laryngeal j nerve, while the paralyzed cord Is in | uorvated by tho "recurrens " New | York Press Reafltt.
