‘Swing Style’ Reading Not New;
The Greeks Had a Word for It
Every now and then, the news
papers report a “brand new’’ idea
or a “brand new’’ discovery.
Take, for instance, the report
about “swing reading.” Accord
ing to recent headlines, “swing
reading” is the latest thing imag
inable—the invention of two smart
eye doctors in Los Angeles.
As the papers say, the doctors
disclosed their “idea” a short time
ago at a national convention of the
American Optometric association.
Advocating a new system of print
ing in “swing style,” the doctors
said they had something that
would help the eyes. In short,
they urged this type of thing:

Well, we don’t like to make our
selves seem scholarly, but the doc
; tors have unwittingly dug up
something pretty old. As a mat
: ter of fact, the ancient Greeks
■ had a word for it, used the system
: and gave it up. They called it
boustrophedon, and you can find
: the word in a good dictionary even
to this day. Pronounced boo-stro
i fee-don, with the accent on the
third syllable, it means literally
• “turning like oxen in plowing.”
i It is a compound of two Greek
; words—bous, meaning ox, and
strephein, meaning to turn.
P. S. Incidentally, the excerpt
quoted above reads normally this
way: “Many of the convention
delegates yesterday shunned ses
sions for a day on the golf course.
[ The weather was fine.”

Finally Name Was O. K.
Though Not 'O: but ‘K’
A gentleman had completed his
purchases, and the clerk, in filling
out the sales slip, asked:
“What is the name, please?”
“Jepson,” replied our hero. “Six
teen twenty-one West—”
“Your first initial, please.”
“Oh, K.”
“O. K. Jepson.”
“I said ‘Oh.’ ”
“O. Jepson.”
“No. Rub out the O.”
The clerk began to look hag
gard.
“Your initials again, please?”
“I said ‘K.’ ”
“Pardon, you said ‘O. K.’ ”
“I said ‘Oh’—”
“Just now you said ‘K.’ ”
“I said ‘Oh,’ because I didn’t
understand what you were asking
me. I didn’t mean it was my ini
tial. My name is Kirby Jepson.”
“Oh.”
“No. Not O, but K. Here, give
me the pencil and I’ll write it my
self. There, I guess it’s O. K.
now.”—Annapolis Log.
