What Liquor Money Would

The American Grocer enumerates
some of the benefits which might accrue
to the citizens of this county if the an
nual drink bill, S1,724, 9Os, $40. were
turned into legitimate channels, namely
st would pay interest and sinking
fund on the amount necessary to buy
comfortable homes for nearly nine mil
lion families.
1T would buy suit of clothes for
every man and boy and dress for every
woman and girl in the United States,
with enough left over to buy a pair of
shoes for everybody.
''If the money spent for drink were
spent for homes tenancy would disap-
pear in the United States within one
generation.
eff it were spent for education every
child in the country would receive a
college education.
'If it were spent for automobiles,
every family in the country would own
a car before 1924.
EFF it were spent for religion, it would
within less than decade carry the Cos
pei to every living creature.
eff it we're spent for railroads, il
would buy every mile of railroad in the
United States in ten years.
IF it were spent for government, it
would pay all the expenses of the Uni
ted States with enough left over to pay
the bonded debt of all the States of the
Uniun."

The majority of people who use
the telephone are in a hurry. They
want to communicate quickly with
some one and the slightest delay
is likely to cause impotence and
irritation. If a busy man waits a
few seconds for a response from
the operator when he is using the
telephone in haste, these seconds
seem like minutes. If he is told
that the line is busy it is likely to
exasperate him. If telephone
users could see the operators at
work while they are calling, or if
they could see how many others
are to be served at the same time,
as in the case of a bank or in a
store, the seconds that seem so
long would pass unnoticed.
Understand, however, our de

We want every subscriber to re-

we want you to report it promptly

The Eames Recital

A good sized audience attended the
Lecture recital given by Henry Games,
of Chicago, and incidentally heard the
most beautiful instrument in this sec
ton, the new Chickering Concert Grand
piano 1t was the general judgment that
Mr.. Games as an interpreter of music
has few peers. The lecture part of his
program was instructive and enlighen-
ing as well as entertaining, but it was
his playing which most captivated his
audience. His phrasing was intelligent
and masterful, technic faultless. He
had remarkable control and an ease OF
playing which was refreshing to his
hearers. Unlike many OF the great pi
anists he was entirely free from eccen
trio mannerisms but played with digni-
ty even in his most forid passages. His
pedal effects were truly surprising. es-
pecially in the diminuendo passages of
the Chopin Funeral March and the
Beethoven Sonata in G Sharp Minor
Several persons in the audience COM
mented on the similarity of his playing
with that of Paderewski. 1t is quite
evident that Mr.. Games understands
the moods and tone-thoughts of the
masters. for his playing is peculiarly
spiritual and soulful.
The Chickering concert grand respon
ded To his playing in wonderful way
Its tone was. always pure and sweet, and
even when its tremendous power
was brought out by the performer there
was an undisturbed clarity of tone.
Throughout its registers Ghere was an
eveuness and unity of timbre. In mos
pianos there is comparative woodeness

FREE LOVE

The first woman of note to put in to practice the doctriness of free love- was Mary Wo1Istonecraft, who was born in England I56, years ago today. Her father was 3 worthless sort of man, and made poor provisi on for his family. which was probably in part responsible for his daughter. s later attacks on the institution of maria ge. Mary was a girl of un- usual intellectual powers, and, in tained a good education and founded a prosperous school for girls. She abandoned the school in order to nurse a friend who was afflicted with a fatal disease. In 1786 she wrote a book on the education of girls, but she did not come into prominence until 1791, when she published a
 seVindication of the Rights of Man # This was speedily followed by a s.VinE
 dication of the Rights of Women '' in which she first gave publicity to her free love doctrines. These she put into practice by forming an un- conventional alliance with F'useIi, the painter. Later she fell in love with
 Gilbert Inlay, an American merchant. After a time he deserted her, leayin 2
 to her the care of her daughter who became the wife of the poet Shelley. Later she entered into an illegal un- ion with Goodwin, the writer, but af- ter a time they yielded to popular prejudice and were formally married
 Mrs Goodwin died in 1797.
