The Typewriter and a Mans Style A Washington street man who does a great deal of writing for the press and periodicals says For many years I continued in my prejudice against the typewriter I preferred to sit down and do my thinking with a pen I tried some dictation andfaild I could write with ease but for the life of me when it came to speaking my thoughts I couldnt do ii Then I concluded to get a typewriter type-writer jnd pound out my thoughts I worked at tho thing industriously Tho matter vhich I tnrnedout from it didnt go M T typescript came back to me yith th 1 editors regrets I knew what i tnat meant l wondered what was the matter One day I ventured to ask an editor and he told me frankly that I was running run-ning opt I didnt believe this I was conscious when I was hammering away at those keys that my mind was divided J between my subject and the mechanism with which I had to deal I wrote an article in the old fashioned way and it was printed However I was determined deter-mined to master my typewriter and 1 did and now I compose quite as readily on it as I did with my pen But I believe be-lieve that any man who is a beginner on o of tho machines will one fmd that for awhile a-while at least it will change his style Chicago Tribune I
