VioIinist, Touring With MeIba,
Prefers HeIpmate's Atten-
ton to Wallets Services.

Her husband having wrecked one
of the traditions of genius by dis
playing more interest in breakfast
than in high art, Mrs. Jan Kubelik,
wife of the famous violinist, proceed
ed to wreck another of the general
and accepted beliefs concerning the
life of the temperamental genius.
Usually, when famous fiddlers,
warblers and such, travel, they are
trailed by corps of helpers and ad-
visers that would make the encourage
of a king look like a parade of DR..
Cooks disciples.
But not so kubelik!
He has no hired men to tuck him
in his seat when he goes riding, to
hold his hat every time he takes it
off, to turn up his coat collar and to
prefer advice and encouragement at
every step
Wife His Adviser.
All of these important personages
is Mrs Kubelik. She's everything
wife. mother. sister and the whole
family to say nothing of confidential
adviser, weather prophet and general
manager of the affairs of the Kubelik
household.
She cares for the great violinist as
if he was little child.
"Ah, he is so experimental" she
sighed "If | didn't watch him he
would do the funniest things. I have
to see that he wears his overcoat and
his hat, and l always have to go to
the theater when he plays, because If
I'm not in the audience he won't play
at all"
"And how can 1 play" interposed
Kubeill, when l have not the in
spiration?"
Asks About His Dinner.
Kubelik and his wife left Atlanta
with Madame Nellie Media and her
party Thursday to continue their tour
of the United States, appearing in
concert in all of the larger cities
When they left the Georgian Terrace
Mrs. Kubelik toucked her husband in
the automobile, pulled his oyercoat up
over his ears, damned his hat down
over what the overcoat didn't cover,
saw to it that his feet were covered
with the robes, and then patted his
hand.
Now" she said, you won't catch
cold"
As for Kubelik. he merely put his
head through the window and asked:
do you know whether III have to
eat dinner on the train? ?"

Facts Their Best Argument

LNACTS will be fighting on the side of the
i Eastern railroads when, next month, they
go before the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to renew their petition for freight rate
advances. If before they could make a
strong showing, they now can make a
brilliant one. Their case is substantially
fortified.
n year ago the main difficulty that con-
fronted them was the high cost of capital
resulting from unsatisfactory net returns
That is the main difficulty today; but mean
time the cost of capital has mounted even
higher Not only have net revenues dwindled
because of shortage in import and export
traffic; not only have interest in general
traffic; not only have interest rates, in gen.
eral risen, but market for the sale of new
securities is now non-eXistent, while upon
the reopening of the New York Stock Ex-
change foreign holders of American rails are
likely to flood the market Higher freight
rates point the obvious way out OF this
dilemma

FRANKLIN's FIRST NEWSPAPER

TO the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Philadelphia is veritable treasure city
for relies of early American literature. Any
one not afraid he may meet the ghost of one
of the Ridgway family can see In the great
library down Broad street original Issues OF
the press here, like Bradford's Mercury (our
first newspaper), Frankns General Magazine.
and many more A librarians card on one OF
the old-time publications reads something like
this:
This is the first number of Ben Frankln's
newspaper. It shows that the newspapers OF
early times We're Just as modest as they are
today"
That card is misleading, for the old-time
publication Is the first number of Samuel
Remcrs paper. the Universal Instructor of
All Arts and Sciences and Pennsylvania Ga
Zette. This paper came out on December %.
IT'S and for three-quarters of a year, and
was sold to Franklin & Meredith for a small

called the paper simply the Pennsylvania
Gazette.

| have just read an intensely interesting
account of one of the country's strongest
public men. 1t was not proven therein that

But 1t was proven that he never broke his

And that is exactly what earned for the

Spending Money on the Wrong Things

TNttE Municipal Court has made one record
i which is not likely soon TO be broken:
it's extravaganza has become a standard Of
measurement. Not content with the lux
urious quarters now assigned to it, it wants
building Of it's own. The acquiescent Com
mittee on Finance has provided in the loan
bill the sum of 100000 for this purpose. 1t
would be fine thing for Philadelphia to
have a new public building, or several Of
them, and when some of the constitutional
restrictions of the city's borrowing capacity
are removed it might be good policy to build
them. But just now there are far more exi-
gent needs for all the cash available. 1t is
very obvious that sound business policy does
not dictate in all instances the financial
program of Councils

New Words in An Old Language


IHTHEN in his study of science, a man
w achieves something which is new to the
World it often happens that his name is
attached for ali subsequent time to the dis
cuvery which he makes or the theory which
he formuIates. The name of Copernicus thus
becomes adjective in reference to the
toperniCan theory. The name Of Darwin ac-
pures suttiX in discussions of Darwnism
The name of Pasteur is perpetuated in
verb. 1t is likewise in philosophy, in politics
in religion, with such terms as Hegelianism,
Lncolnian craftsmanship, Christianity. a
man who makes Il great contribution to the
worlds thought and the worlds history rep
resents some idea or principle or achievement
which is so distinctvely his own that perhaps
the language appropriates his name for its
special purposes,
Sometimes, however there is nothing com
pllmeutary in this pathological recognition.
To speak Of a Machiarelian proposal for in
stance, Is not to praise either the proposal
or Machayeli. The gcrrymander is not itself
in good repute, though the word has a def
mite and useful meaning. Another word of
similar origin, one which is we'll understood
all over the country and even elsewhere, is
Peuroseism. So much for future fame!
