why rmzabbthton chosen
Previously
Unheard of Town Aspire*
to be Metropolis of Tennessee Soon
_ *
Those who wonder why Herbert
Hoover selected such a tiny spot as
Eli**Mhton, Tenn., for the only
southern speech of his campaign, may
find the answer In an article published
in the current issue of the Review
of He views.
Kluabethton, small us it is, is the
epitome of the new industrialized
south Only two years ago it was a
Sir. py mountain village of 2,600 population.
Today it is a bustling town
of liUOOO which has centered the attention
of all Tennesi&e by mirroring
the aspirations of that politically
important border state.
Within a decade, Elizabethton confidently
expects to be a city of 150,000
population, outranking Nashville,
Chuttanooga and Knoxville, and endangering
Memphis' place as the
State's chief city. Consequently,
whatever happens in Elizabethtou today,
as the Hoover manugers know,
commands close attention from the
entire old south.
Synthetic silk is the explanation of
the Elizabethton phenomenon, not the
artificial silk made from cellulose or
plant fiber and called "rayon" but a
fab ric which even under the most expert
test, can hardly be distinguished
from the natural silk.
The process, perfected by German
chemists, utilizes what has been virtually
a waste product in the south
until now, the fine lint which remains
when the cotton is separated from the
seed. German capital, under the
name of the American Bamberg corporation,
has projected a $58,000,000
plant in the little mountain town.
Two units already are operating, and
the completed project will employ 30,000
persons. The discovery of an
abundant supply of chemically pure
water necessary to the process was
responsible for the selection of Elizabethton
for the industry.
Scientists who have investigated the
project, according to the Review of
Reviews article, are confident that
the new industry will ultimately erase
the $440,000,000 annual importation
of silk from the orient, centering the
American silk market in the south.

Many Styles of Writing
Says Robert Quillen
, ?
(Fountain Inn Tribune)
One day ItMit week a writing man.
whose work is vulgar perfaced hlf
dally bit with a word of explanation
He said, %in effect; "My work i?
common and full of dirt, but I'm not
that kind of fellow. I'm well-odu
cated and my taste is delicate; . put
my readers are ill-bred and ignoran*
trash and I must write the kind of
stuff they can appreciate.!'
A, few years ago America's best
known critic said in print that he had
been Criticised for using big words,
"whereas," said he, "I strive to use
the simplest language at my command
and thus make myself elm
the common man." As a matter of
fact he frequently employs foreign
phrases und words from \,he dead
languages and dsJiifhts in English
words never used in conversation.
His claim to simplicity, fully translated,
meant; "I know a lot of bigger
words than I use, but I don't
spring them because I know you
boobs wouldn't understand."
All children delight in big words
and adults with child minds seldom
are content to use simple words if
they know larger ones.
It is harmless form of asininity,
and more amusing than offensive, but
it becomes a little nauseating when
thrf" speaker or writer makes comparisons.
Some time ago /& little# girl here
ir. the village said to her? playmates
after a period of strutting; But I
must quit using my big words; you
all can't understand me." ,
She was faking, of course, but the
writers who talk that way really
mean it. They think they are superior
to the ordinary run of men
and they make a conscientious effort
to write down to the ordinary man's
level.
But having expressed their thoughts
in simple words, they are assailed by
doubts and fears. "Gosh!" they aay.
"People who reaji that simple stuff
may think I'm simple. P must tell
them how smart I really am." And
then they explain that they are writing
for the common people and not
for high-brows.
One of the most popular weekly
magazines contained an explanation
of that kind a few days ago. It really
is "low-brow"?unnecessarily so?
and it feels ashamed of it. "Wherefore
vanity prompts it to let- the
world know how much more clever it
could be if it wasn't for the necessity
of keeping down to the boob's level.
I have been trying to write for
twenty-five years, and during the
whole of that time I have studied the
work of other writers and observed
its reaction on the public.
And I believe I know whereof I
speak when I say that it never is
necessary to "write down" to people
who read/~""*~~>*-* '1 ' v
There are various classes of readers,
with various interests, and little
groups support trade and technical
publications; but the general reader
is interested in almost everything
under the sun and knows a little about
almost everything.
"What is more, he knows about as
much as the writers know.
There isn't a writer in America who
has thoughts or ideas that won't be
understood by the general reading
public if they are expressed in .the
straight-forward English a gk>od
workman should use to express them.
The "high-brow" element that
thinks vast and intricate thoughts beyond
the comprehension of ordinary
mortals is a myth. It ..doesn't exist.
There are groups of specialists whose
interests are narrow?who speak a
jargon of their own?and what is
written for these is Greek to the average
man. He knows nothing about
it and cares less.
But the general reading public cat
and does comprehend all that is wrli?
ten by writers whose subjects are of
universal interest.
There are writing men who sincerely
believe their audiences small
because only a few people have wit
enough to grasp their tremendous
thoughts.
That isn't the trouble.- ~ Their
thoughts aren't over the heads of the
crowd. They are not understood fpr
the simple reason that they dont
know thedr trade well enough to make
themselves understood. ' y
Men in an office, a store, a factory
a newspaper gfftg?_Jiavft imhcft
that function in much-the same way.
They* think-about the same thoughts.
Their immediate interests are different;
but once they get away from
"shop talk,'^ their ability to comprehend
matters that nave, general
appeal places them in about the nam#
class.
_ To "write down" to any group of
them or to all of them it needlessly
and offensively to wWte "c-a-t" endee
