A Real Sleuth.

The notion that Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle's interesting creation, Mr.. Sherlock
Holmes, is overdrawn. or not to be paral-
leled in real life, is erroneous. Mr.. Holmes
was an astute genius: but there are Hv-
ing, breathing de-tec-i-tiffs who measurs
up quite Gs grandIy to the demands OF
various occasion as ever Mr.. Holmes DID
Mr.. Holmes always insisted that his
methods were simplicity run riot His
most famous deductions invariably were
characterized by himself as 'elementtry,
my dear Watson; elementary" Mr..
Holmes merely put two and two toget Ter:
never once did the putting together Of
two and two fail to make four. The
problem was TO locate the several tTos.
This Mr.. Holmes persistently did with
great neatness and dispatch. Usually. It
was no trouble whatever to the lncislye
Sherlock. Everything was explained even
tually TO everybOdys complete and last
ing satisfaction-that is. everybody's ex-
cepting Lestrade's. of Scotland Yard.
That picturesque and somewhat stupid
person generally was forced to retire
thoroughly crestfallen."

Mayor GaynOr.

The attempt to take the life Of William
J. Gaynor, mayor OF New York. happily
unsuccessful. is as wanton. cowardly.
and abhorrent a crime as has been
chronicled since the assassination of
President Mckinley.
Worn out in weIldoing. going in quest
of rest and relaxation which he had so
richly earned, the fate that has befallen
this fine executive IS infinitely as pa
thetic as it is shocking. A universal
prayer will go up for HIS recovery.

ever before, to the man who has served
the people Of the greatest American city
so courageously and successfully. only

suggestion that he stand for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor, he said:

honesty and. above all. his feariessness in

He has not been a Tammany mayor,
but the city's mayor. Not often in high

a conception Of duty as Mayor Caynor
has shown, nor manifest so unvarying a
determination TO do that duty to the

New York has gained much by the adj

Smithsonian Institution Established AUGUST 10

On August 10. 1876, the Smithsonian
Institution in Washington was estab-
lished by an act Of Congress. It was
brought about in accordance with the will
Of James smithson, who bequeathed the
reversion Of an estate amounting TO S5l5.-
1853 to the United States. to be devoted 20
the increase and diffusion Of knowledge
among men," Smithson was an English
man, well versed in various branches OF
natural philosophy, and particularly in
chemistry and mineralogy. He died at
Genoa, Italy. on June q, 1929
Smithson left his money first to his
nephew. Henry James Hungerford and
in case he died without issue II was 70
so to establishing the Washington insti-
tuition. Hungerford died in 1885, and be-
ing childless the United States Legation
in London was notified Of the bequest.
The disposition Of the property was for
ten years debated in Congress, but ulti-
mately the trust was accepted and Con-
gress created an establishment consisting
Of the President and the members OF his
Cabinet, who intrusted the management
Of the Institution TO a board of regents
consisting OF the Vice President and the
Chief Justice Of the United States. three
regents to be appointed by the President
OF the Senate. three by the Speaker OF
the House OF Representatives, and six 10

should be residents Of the District Of Co
lumbia.
The first meeting following the estao-
lshmeut Of the institution was held on
September Z, 1916, and elected Joseph
Henry as executive officer. with the title
Of secretary, under whose guidance the
institution took shape He prepared a
programme OF organization. which was
adopted in 1877, and has since been the
plan under which the institution has been
conducted.
Under Henry was begun the construc-
ton Of building designed by James Rem

formed by exchange and purchase. and

and Amicably settle Family Jars.
From the Boston Post.
Three brothers and three sisters. the
sisters being the wives Of the three
brothers. have just formed the most
unique partnership per sentiment and do
nestle economy that has yet been re-
corded among happily welded pairs.
The seXtet Of newlyweds-for the three
pairs have but recently been married
live together IN a single cottage in n
suburb Of Portland. The cooking and
housekeeping are done on the partnership
basis and the household expenses are
provided for by the three husbands on
The same plan
But what is more singular and what
has already established a new and novel
precedent is She fact that whenever
there threatens 10 occur a far or rift in
the lutte OF love In this house the disa-
greeine couple bring their troubles be-
fore the other two pairs and these latter
husbands and wives act as a committee
Of arbitration to make things smooth

The three husbands are Thomas. Ben

from Nova Scotia.
The Bustins freely admit that they
consider their triple alliance an ideal ar

ment there are not likely TO be any.
Having been constantly together since
childhood. none Of the brothers or sis

suiting the other two, and In this way
peace is assured.
The three couples live in a little brown
house in Deering a Portland suburb.
where their husbands are EMPLOYED in

Their cooperative plar for settling do
nestle troubles has attracted the most
widespread interest in Portland.

Much IS now heard about the Passion
Play at Oberammergau. The average
visitor TO this unique spectacle comes
away enthusiastic over the reverence,
the skill, and marvellous art with which
the greatest drama in all history, the
passion and crucihxion Of Jesus Christ,
is presented. Great writer's. world-re-
nowned philosophers. have been unstint-
ed in their praise Of the fidelity OF the
portrayal by the humble peasantry of
Oberammergau. but it remains for an
American actress to strike a new note
on the subject
Miss Rose Stahl. known to the pub
lie through her long connection with a
play called The Chorus Lady" has lust
returned from Oberammergau. and In an
interview declares that she found the
peasant actors very bad. wholly unnat-
uraL and their attempts at initiating
modern acting painful to her. She also
says that so per cent OF the audiences
which witness the Passion Play know
nothing about the theater and real acting.
and consequently they can have no
standards by which to judge the per-
Iormances Of the peasants.

their lives. What TO Miss Rose Stahl

This American, with friend. was sit

actors-imbued with the traditions that
Miss Stahl misses at Oberammergau-

not as true. but simply as the best we
can get-of American acting, Miss Rose

as pleasant performances as might be
