plain, everyday man, was something
quite different, which the children
weren't allowed to hear.
But to return to our muttons. DIR.
Osler said: Medicine is no good,' and
all over the civilized world a great
army of doctors, druggists, chemists
and members of affiliated professions
arose in their wrath to tell the apostate
just what they thought of him. Some
of them looked wise, said the doctor
was suffering from neutrality-suspicious.
and suggested a brain food. Others
suggested tar and feathers. But DIR.
Osler didn't pay any attention to them.
He was too busy perfecting his great
theory.
Then the eclectic physicians met in
convention at the Hotel Alexandria,
and gave the doctor some more adver-
tising by passing resolutions of censure.
They were good resolutions, major, but
they didn't create half the stir that the
new Osler theory had caused. Among
other things they called names. They
said DIR. Osler was a therapeutic nj
hilist. 1 don't know what that is,
major, and I don't believe the doctor
knows himself. but it sounds particu-
larly severe, as even you may realize.
"And about the eclectics. If you
want to know what an eclectic is, ask
an allopath physician and then apollo
gize quickly; or ask homeopathist
and dodge. They both know, major,
but If they tell you, don't you dare re-
peat it to me. l still have some regard
for the state of my own morals"

was a new idea and big idea, even
for the doctor. He allowed it to incu-
bate and finally, major, in his sleep,
one night, she shouted out:
'Heureka. l have it at last. Medi-
cine is no good
'I tell you this little incident to IL
lustrate how simple, in truth, are some
of the worlds greatest discoveries; and
to prove the wonderful exactness of the
Osler mind. Most men, major, would
have said Eureka had the idea oc
CURED to them. But not so the great
euthanasiaist. He knew the word was
aspirated in the Greek and he remem-
bered it even in his sleep.
"Well, that slogan: Medicine is no
good-was heard around the world. And
it made converts, among them the man
in the next block, who at once threw
his doctors bill into the kitchen stove
and smiled as he watched it turn to
ashes. OF course the doctors didn't
like this, major, and you can't blame
them. However, that doesn't affect the
value of the great discovery.

"I myself was on the verge of this

STEINWAY HALL IS
SOURCE OF PRIDE
PIANO COLLECTION EQUAL TO
NEW YORK
Specimens of Every Kind of Instru-
rent Made by Famous House
to Be Found at
BirkePs
BY GEE o'JAY

Not very long ago it was my good
fortune to visit that historical edi-
fice in New York called Steinway hall
the home of the artistic StelnWay
piano Guided by one of the Steinway
descendants, 1 saw the inner workings
of the Steinway methods, realized what
Steinway traditions really meant and
came away convinced that at least one
establishment in America was not
guided wholly by the dollar idea. One
thing that impressed me upon visiting
the Steinway establishment was that
in it there is absolutely no sacrifice of
art ideals to meet the eXigencies of
present day commercialism.
We Angelenos are proud of many
things inside our city, not the least
point of interest being the local Stein
way hall, occupying the second floor
of the George j. Birkel company's es-
tablishmen at 345347 South Spring
street. aHere is exhibited a collection
of Steinway pianos which is not sur
passed anywhere outside the Steinway
establishment in New York. Over forty
of these wonderful instruments are
constantly in stock. Not only do we
find the regular styles of grands, up
rights and Vertegrands. but many in
struments are shown in special decor
ative cases. Speaking of these Stein
way art cases, it is we'll to know that
Steinway made the first successful
effort to really dignity the vesture of
the piano, to give the mechanism of
the instrument an exterior worthy
of it.
Same Price Everywhere
Many people imagine that Steinway
pianos in the west cost more than in
the east. That is not so. A represent
ative of the Birkel company told me
that a SteinWay can be bought here in
4 y1e of 1an VFY-ly YNpina
with just the actual cost of freight
and handling added.
So closely have the Steinways been
identified with the musical career of
the republic that they have given a
new and strong impetus to general cul-
ture. The uplifting Of tastes and diff
fusion of musical understanding may
be traced in each decade to the ar
dent and patriotic efforts and the
standards of the far-seeing and un-
selfish men who founded the Steinway
establishment. Their ideal was beau
tiful voice. Their work was to create
a sensitive but permanent vehicle for
its expression. The realization meant
the elevation and furtherance of the
great art of music. Their field was the
world, mankind the beneficiary Rare
ly ever have men had such inspiration
and more rarely have they risen to the
heights or possessed such a prophetic
vision of the intellectual needs. The
original Steinways built better than
they knew.
Like the Londoner who lived in his
city for forty years without ever en-
tering st. Paul's cathedral, we An
gelenos are wont to pass by the things
that really count Many of us have
never visited the Birkel establishment.
but the musician as we'll as the lover
of decorative art will find much in
spiration in this local Steinway hall
of ours.

Did you notice, major, that our old
friend, DR.. Osler has been getting him
self talked about again? Well, he has.
The doctor has made another discovery
and some of his fellow practitioners in
Los Angeles don't like it,"
The major settled himself in his chair
and kept quiet. A great listener, the

tinued that worthy, that few years
ago DR.. Osler discovered a brand new
theory, several thousand years old,
which he named euthanasia. He said
that as man passes his limit of use

last.
THE day after he enunciated this
principle the Ancient and Associated
Order of Undertakers Of Powhawkus
met and addressed to him a set of
highly laudatory resolutions which they
had engrossed on parchment and
ordered sent to their benefactor by spe-
cial messenger.
What is more, major, the funny men
in the newspapers took him up and DR..
Osler became famous. Two cigars, a
patent coffin and a race horse were
named after him. Then somebody
wrote humorous song about him and
somebody else set it to music for a
blondine soubrette to sing in vaude-
vile. A week later he had been forgot
ten. Such is the ingratitude republics
ever show their great men.
But the doctor didn't like it. He
had tasted of fame and with an oliver
Twist appetite he hungered for more.
Neglect he could not stand, and so one
day he cashed his pay check at Johns
Hopkins university and sailed away to
England, where he got job at OK
ford university, doing what 1 don't
know, but doing it well, you can bet on
that.

BERLIN, June 22.-Emperor William
has expressed great dissatisfaction over
the appearance of modern streets, not
only in Berlin but in other European
cities as we'll. He regrets th-t they are
losing in picturesqueness.
Long ago and before the advent OF
the Industrial age there was a pictur-
esoue extension of the commercial and
industrial life of the people into the
streets. The merchant sold his wares,
the smith hammered, the shoemaker
cobbIed, the barber shaved, all in the
sight of their fellow men.
In conversation with an eminent Ber-
lin architect the emperor regretted that
those old days so full of color and
healthy simple life had passed forever
He also is displeased that the sky lines
of the houses are all so even and that
the houses rise flush from the streets,
without even the alleviation of an area
railing or a front garden.
