Edwards, manager of the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, 'Brief hand' Writing Introduced at OSC; Ntrstg Dtals Gvn Bio OREGON STATE COLLEGE A new system for abbreviating longhand and increasing writing sneed will be introduced on an experimental basis for the first time in a college classroom next quarter at Oregon State college. Called "Briefhand", the new system has been found to speed up longhand writing from the usual 30 to 40 words a minute to 80 or 100 with a little practice and training, accordinc to the OSC professor who helped perfect the system. It differs from shorthand and other short-cut writing systems in that no special symDois are used for words only letters and abbreviations that cut down the writing load. Under the Briefhand system, sDeed-uo is achieved by such things as dropping the silent vow els and using word abbreviations. Number heeomes nmbr, service is srvc, address adrs, a is abbrevia tion for an, and, at, about. "The svstem look interesting' is written "e stsm loks nstrg." Dr. Theodore Yerian, head oi the department of business edu cation and secretarial science at OSC, worked on the Briefhand method and is one of the four authors of the new book that out lines the system. Hp is convinced that Bneinana has creat possibilities not only for students and clerical workers who. spend a good part of their time taking notes, but also for "anyone interested in writing more rapidly businessmen, housewives, salesmen, reporters, lawyers, etc." Yerian emphasizes that Brief hand is not a replacement for high speed shorthand that en ables stenographers to take dicta tion or notes at 125-200 words a minute. For the really skilled worker, shorthand is faster and better, he says. For the average person, how ever, who is not Interested in shorthand training, Briefhand can streamline writing, Yerian be lieves. It is easily self-learned, he said, and has already brought favorable comment from students, business teachers and school ad ministrators who have heard ab out the system. Protects Christmas Trees From Flames Tn fireproof vour Chistmas tree which is still a hazard even with electric lights, select your tree four to six days before you intena to decorate it. Then weigh the tree and buv one-fourth as many lbs. of ammonum sulfate as the tree weighs. This chemical is avail able in most stores that sell seeds and fertilizers. For each pound of ammonium sulfate use 1V2 pints of water to make the fireproofing solution. Mix the solution in something tall and narrow that will hold the tree upright. Then saw off the tree diagonally so as to give a large cut surface. Set tne tree in thp solution in a cool place, away from the direct sunlight and leave it there until most of the 'solution be absorbed.
