TALKED IN MUSICAL TERMS
Policeman Shows Result Of Long Duty
at Door Of Concert
Hall.

All amateurs are familiar with the
musical term "syncopation," but for
the benefit of the non-musical it may
be said that it is a word relating to
time or rhythm, the precise meaning
Of which will be sufficiently indicated
by the story.
A celebrated conductor was conduct
ing long series of concerts, and he
had observed that it was always the
same policeman who was stationed at
the nearest door to the orchestra Re-
marking upon this, he was informed
that the officer in question was be-
coming quite an expert in musical
terms, etc, so long had he been on
duty inside the hall. However, one
evening he was passing, and meeting
him accidentally in the corridor next
night, the great conductor accosted
him thus
Officer" he said, "where were you
last night?"
Last night, director?" replied the
cop. "Oh, was in syncopation."
I'm what?" gasped the conductor.
"In syncopation-off the beat, sir"
replied the policeman.

The Colonial Shilling.

The value of the Colonial shilling
was gradually reduced from the Eng
lish standard as the result of per
sistent coin slipping. As early as
1912 Massachusetts raised the rating
of the Spanish dollar to 5s and Con-
necticut took similar action the fol-
lowing year. In 1915 Virginia raised
the rating of the dollar to 6s.
In 1862 Massachusetts established
a mint and began to coin shillirsS
that were 221a per cent. higher than
the sterling standard. In 1858 the
Spanish dollar, weighing approximate
ly II pennyweights, was rated at 6s
Cd, while Pennsylvania valued it
at rs.
The consequence of these vari-
ations in the colonies was that in
1907 parliament passed an act pro-
viding that the Spanish piece of s
reals dollar should not be valued
at more than 6s, but Bullock tells us
in his Monetary History of the
United States" that this law was al
most universally ignored.
Finally New York and North Caro-.
lima settled upon rating of IS to the
dollar, and this valuation was gradu-
ally accepted and retained until our
national monetary system was estab-
lished.

the standing committees of the House
by a vote of lis to &C. The Henry
Lindbergh resolution authorizing a
sweeping investigation by special
committee, as urged by Bryan, was
laid on the table. Among those who
voted to uphold the hands of Leader
Underwood were Speaker Clark. The
vote by W ich the Bryan-Henry reso-
luton was tabled was taken immedi-
ately following the reading of tele-
gram from Mr.. Bryan.
Leader Underwood did not, how
ever, win his fight without compro-
mise. He changed his original reso-
luton in such a way that 1t is manda-
tory on the standing committees OF
the House to investigate the matters
outlined in the Henry resolution in
stead of leaving an inquiry to Their
discI elton.
The Underwood substitute as adopt
ed divides the investigation among
the committees on Banking and Cur
rency, Judiciary, Interstate Com
merce and Election of President and
Vice President. Mr., Henry found some
comfort in the fact that the Under
wood motion was amended to read
that these committees shall investi-
gate" instead of may investigate"

or ten day Magistrate Murphy will
take evidence in series of public
hearings similar to those held last
summer by Magistrate Appleton in the
ice investigation.
1t is alleged that two members
OF the exchange fixed the price of but.
ter and eggs so that in the spring and
summer months, when such products
are most plentiful, they might pur-
chase them and place them in cold
storage at the lowest possible figure
and thereafter, during the fall and
winter months of each year, increase
the price thereof to the retail dealer
to as high figure as the local market

the sale thereof being eliminated
would stand without substantially cur
failing the consumption of the butter
and eggs held by them in storage be-
fore the season of greatest produc-
ton"
In the information it is alleged
that the members of the exchange
have conspired to injure trade and
commerce, to restrict and prevent
competition to the injury of the public
and are therefore guilty of violation
of section $50 of the penal law. 1t
is the same section under which the
live poultry trust, composed of dealers
in Washington Market, was prosecut-
ed last summer and thirteen of it's
members were sent to prison.

The thin man bemoans his fate. He

1t would seem that Nature would

might rig up some sort of an exchange
by which discontented people might
swap.
The poor man who aches for dollars
could go there and give his appetite
for half the sickly rich mans pile, and
1t would be gladly given.
The woman with the ostrich feath-
ers her sailor brother brought her
could swap with the envious woman
for diamond and thus control her
own longing.
All we'd have to do would be to go
to the exchange and register, and Ma
ture would do the rest. We'd list our
discontented state and tell what would
make us feel better, and sooner or
later the exchange would be made
and two discontented people would be
made more contented. But no such ex-
change is being considered, and the
two discontented parties TO all these
troubles are far apart. - Galveston

What the Relkln Is.

A new stnnged musical instrument
is reported to have been devised by a
Japanese violinmaker In the city Of
Nagoya. The invention is named the
reikin and seems likely to supersede
the samisen. 1t has the shape of a
guitar, save in the neck, that is the
only part resembling a samisen. There
are four strings to it, and by manipu-
lation of the keys the instrument can
be made to do the work of several
samisen. The inventor has played his
reikin in an orchestra of Japanese in
struments and showed that it is sue
cess in every way. He says that the
idea came to him when be was tour
Ing through Europe last year.
