SIMPLER LANGUAGE.
• 8 W" '~ To the Editor. Dear Sir,—Would it be asking too much of you to ask your editorial staff, or whoever may be responsible, to use simpler language in telegrams and cablegrams and in articles. Your leading articles are always so well written and so easily understood that I think it must be your foreign contributors who are always using long, hard words. Some folk may like reading the newspaper with a dictionary, but it is too tedious for a mere woman who had only a primary schooling. Once in a while I don’t mind, but there are so many new words nowadays that it is very hard to keep up with them. And oblige.—l am, etc., , MAISIE.
