BY TH^ WAY By DORIS ARMFIELD Washington, Oct. 30.—Life in the classroom at the Stenotype Institute of Washington is not always solemn and gloomy as classrooms usually are. Our teacher. Mr. Jackson, has a senst of humor which he likes to share with the striving stu dents. I think he realizes, too, that some mirth is needed, for although the operation of the Stenograph looks easy enough, I can assure you that learning it is a strain on the nerves of the most stable person. Wte had a" letter in dictation class the other day, which had all of the students amused and at the same time sympathetic with the writer of the letter. I believe each of us has at times been as exasperated a the author of this epistle, and I savted my stenograph notes so that you • could enjoy it too —if I am able to transcribe them:: “Gentlemen: I wish to ir form you that the present shat tered condition of my bank ac count makes it impossible for me to send you my check in full, in response to your re quest. My present financial condition is due to the effect of the federal laws, state laws, country laws, corporation laws, by laws, brothers-in-law. mo thers-in-law. and outlaws that have foisted upon an unsus pecting public. ‘Through these various laws, I have been held down, held up, sat on, walked on, flattened, squeezed, and broken until I do not know what I am, where I am, or why I am. These laws compel me to pay a mer chants tax, capital tax, income tax corporation tax, real es tate tax, motor car tax, proper ty tax, gas tax, light tax, water tax, cigarette tax, school tax, syntax, liquor tax, and carpet tax. “In addition to these laws, I am requested and required to contribute to every society and organization that the mind of man can invent. I must give to the Society of St. John, the Baptist, Womans Relief, the Na- vji League, the Children’s Home the Proper Friends Benefit, the Dorcus Society, the Y.M.C.A., the Gold Diggers Home, the Anti-Saloon League, the Daugh ters of the American Revolution the Children’s Health Society, The Tall Cedars of Lebanon, also to every hospital and char itable, organization in town, the Red Cross, the Black Cross, the White Cross. the Blue Cross, the Flaming Cross and the Double Cross. “The government has govern ed my business so that I do not know who owns it. I tm suspected, expected, inspected, disrespected, examined, re-ex amined, informed, commanded and compelled until all I know is that I am to provide an in exhaustible supply of money for every known and unknown need, desire, or hope of the hu-i man race and because I refuse to donate to all and then go and beg, borrow or steal the money to give away, I am ousted, discussed, talked to, talked about, lied about, held up, held down, robbed until I am almost ruined. The only reason I am clinging to life at all now is to see what is coming next. “Without personal disrespect I submit my reasons, hoping you are not afflicted with the same.” I wonder if the other native Newberrians, now residing in Washington, are as homesick as I am? If so, I think we should form a “Society of Nostalgic Newberrians” and holld meet ings about once every two weeks to console one another. Weather such as this always makes me want to be at home, and although I declared after the spring “leafraking” at Gil- dercrest that I would never look at another leaf, I would even be willing to wield a rake in order to be there this weekend. With such wonderful Indian Summer days, it is hard to do the things that we should do. rather than the things we want to do. People up here just won’t let me forget, though, that a bitter Washington winter is on the way. When I remark about the beautiful weather we are having, someone, always says “yes, but it won’t last long—we’ll be having snow and ice soon.” And this morn ing, my landlady is getting out the storm windows and doors to be put up before the wintry winds begin. Riding along the highway near here recently I noticed also that snow fences have already been erected. Much as I don’t want to, I guess I must submit to the inevitable—that winter is on the way. Although my present school ing is far apart from the news paper business, I will always consider myself a member of the Fourth Estate and be inter ested in anything pertaining thereto, so I was happy to ac cept an invitation to have lunch at the National Press Club the other day. The gen tleman who escorted me there was formerly night editor of the Washington Times-Herald, one of the Patterson newspa pers. He pointed out the va rious newspaper “names” there, but I am sorry to report that (Continued on Page 8) YOU won’t find many success rules that’ll work unless you do. .
