-SPIRA IS CONCERNED
Because of alleged deals with
Nathan Spira, firebug shot in the
Randolph ST. gun battle, charges
have been preferred against three
firemen.
They are charged with tipping
off, fires to Spira as soon as the
alarms came in. They phoned Spira,
who is a fire insurance adjuster, and
gave him the location of the fires.
The adjuster then hurried to the
blaze and tried to get the job of ad-
jUsting the loss.
The offense is not a serious one,
being simply a violation of the citys

BACK ON NEWSSTANDS
The Curtis Publishing Co., publish
er of the Saturday Evening Post, has
applied for an injunction allowing
them to place their weekly on the
newsstands.
The magazine people declare that
the city ordinance which permits on
ly the daily papers to be published in
Chicago to be sold from the stands is
unconstitutional.
The Saturday Evening Post people
clai mthat up to January of this year
they were allowed to sell from the
corner stands and that at this time
an order was sent out to police cap
tains to throw all Posts from news
stands.
They say that of the 10000 Satur-
day Evening Posts sold in the city
10000 were distributed in this man
ner before the order of the police
came out.
WITNESSES GIVE OTHER SIDE
OF FREE SPEECH ARREST
There appears to be a SIDE 10 the
arrest of a street speaker at Chicago
avenue and Clark street last night
other than the version given by the
police.
William Sloan, 1873 N. LaSaIle
street, was the man arrested. Lieut..
William Fitzgerald, Chicago avenue
station, claimed he was denOuncing
the police and dragged him to the
station.
But others who were in the crowd
claim Sloan was not given a chance
to make a speech, but was dragged
from the street before he began to
talk.
Many witnesses will testify in his
behalf.

VARIOUS EMOTIONS OF LOVE
Always at First General and Vague II
Sometimes Remains Impersonal
Through Life.

Swedenborg says that in its early
and elemental forms our love is at
tached by sex, not yet by one of the
sex. Even in babyhood girls may show
a decided preference for men. Love
of whole sex is already awake in
them, but they are rarely devoted to
one man to the exclusion of all others,
writes Richard G. Cabot in the Allan
tic. A newcomer is especially well
coined. This means that their love 10
at first general and vague, though later
1t may attach itself to one individual
and cleave to him, forsaking all others.
This lesson we sometimes fail to learn.
We then remain impersonal and desire
the emotions of love, as many people
desire the emotions Of music, without
any awareness of an individual or of
the meaning of the piece. To yield to
such a desire Is villainy in case we
really know better (as we usually dol;
but not otherwise. When we listen to
good music we are actually listening
to the outpourings of the composers
heart. He is speaking to us earnestly
and intensely, and we are listening to
him, not to it. And yet 1t is often no
crime to drink in music merely as
pleasure; indeed, for most people 1t
cannot, be a crime because they know
no better. But it is always a CHASTITY
mistake, for 1t is treating music,
which is bit Of persons life, as a
means of sensual qualification.

Some persons insist that beefsteak

Whether we agree with the person
who argues that beefsteak is cheap or
the one who argues that 1t is expen-
sive, we must all agree with the one
who argues that there are expensive
ways of using beefsteaks and cheaper
ways.
To begin with, the steak must be
cooked to a turn. 1t should, to be at

There is much so-called waste to
steak-fat and gristle and bone. But
all of this waste can be made useful.
Hence a big steak is an economy, for
the leftovers will be enough to be
worth working over.
The leftover bits of the tender
steak can be put through meat chop

The bone and gristle should go into

of meat and bones they can all be
combined. If there are no others the
steak bone and gristle can be put in
pot with sliced onion, two diced
carrots, two stalks of celery sliced,
half a can Of tomatoes, half cupful
of rice and three pints of water. This
should be simmered until all the
