WILL KEEP QUIET NEXT TIME Officlal Grappler for Dead Bodiés Had Rich Piece of Luck and Spolled It by Talking. The next time that Hugh Brady, official g'rnppler for bodies in Wil- lamette river, gets a tip that a body is to be' found, he is'going to keep it to himself and then conduct his search in the darkest hours of the night, says a Portland (Ore.) dis- patch. Brady got such a tip the oth- er day and with grappling hooks:got his dory about midstream and began to grapple. He grappled all day and was about to give up when' his hooks caught on something. “’Tis the body,” quoth he, and quietly but per- sistently he pulled the object toward the surface. But it was not. It was a gunny- sack filled with quart bottles of fiery liquid, now under ban. . Hugh asked no questions and took the whisky home. He was jubilant: The next day he told a friend, who told another friend, and in the eve- ning a federal agent visited him. Script or Print Writing? There is a movement in England to abolish script writing and replace it by print writing. The characters used m the proposed system are the ordl- ary printed letters known as the Ro- man block letters with the exception of “a” and “g,” which ud _simplified into their script forms.” Print char- acters were used centurles ago by monks before script - writing became the fashion. Advocates of the pro- posed reform claim that it has many advantages over ordinary handwrit- ing, particularly in that the child learns much more quickly. Many Brit- ish educational authorities favor print writing and it is taught in numercus British schools. time on the Innumerable joinings of letters, and superfluous loops and flourishes are abolished. At least one big London firm has adopted the sys- | tem.
