POLI'S

Half a dozen ''dashing, crashing, smashing, nlashing'. young Bridge porters stepped on the stage at Polls last night, at the invitation of pr. Hermann, the electrical wizard. and thereafter showed they merited the laudatory adjectives that the doctor had wished on them. Assisting the doctor in number of electrical stunts, they contributed an entertain 1nent that was uproariously funny, ! and while discounted for time, seemed to enjoy it as much as did the big audience. The fun was just a side line for. the electrical wizard who did a lot of unusual stunts with deadly currents of sufficient voltage to lay an ordinary individual cold The doctor concludess his nairthful and marvellous performance with a nnysd- < flying illusion called The Window of the Haunted House." in which spec tral forms are made to appear and disappear with astounding precision.
 Feature photopiays brought here William Faversham. the great dra- rnatie star, and Harry Lauder, the noted comInedian. Mir. Faversham was excellent in a hve-part drama x called .sOne Million Dollars" while Harry Lauder was Iudicrously funny in Scotch role in a comedy called "A GafpeSof Golf

tory of the game being paved to play CTS, baseball developed into a jump ing pastine, and many of the stars pavorted from league to league and back again, and never knew from one day to the next what league or club they would be playing with a week later. Of all the jumpers, however, Jimmy Sheekard was easily the star. He holds a11fthe worlds records, and it is unlikely that he will be surpass- ed. Sheckard jumped eight separate and distinct times. He alternated be- tween the Brooklyn Nationals and Bal timore Americans. One day the name of Sheckard would appear in the box score with Brooklyn Nationals and the next day the bugs would be\read- ing about some sensational exploit pulled off by Sheckard of Baltimore.

EFFICIENCY BUREAU HEAD GETS
CLOSED DOOR FROM CONNERY
BY Carl Sandburg

by Carl SdnQDuTR
Harris Keller Waits" That's the
name of the sketch Keller wants to
get into Joe Connery's office of coun-
ty recorder, search the place and re-
port to the circuit judges as to wheth-
er Connery is on the job proper.
According to a polite letter Con-.
merry sent yesterday to Keller the
said Keller is keeping the fish in
efficiency and the ''con" in economy.
To use words of street speech instead
of the court language of Connery,
this is what the county recorder says:
your bureau of public efficiency
came in my Office last year, mussed
up the place, kicked up a stew, wasted
everybody's time, and when you
made your report to the judges you
got rundown. I'm ready to let
anybody frisk this Office, but l want
'em to come with a clean record. No
snoops wanted"
The Torrens system of title regis
tration is the biggest thing in the re-
corder's Office, Connery holds. If
Keller could have had his way last
year he would have cut down Con-
nery's Office staff so the Torrens
work would have been crippled.
Whatever else might be said about
Connery there's no kicking from any
quarter about service his Office is
giving the people. Reporters, real es-
tate, men and lawyers by the dozen
have looked into the workings of
Connery's Office and there's no grum-
bling.
Why doesn't Keller and his bureau
go look into the board of assessors
and the board of review offices?
If there's a jungle of darkness
where efficiency is nil and economy
nix it's those tax offices.
For high cost and low service it's
hard to beat those tax offices. They
need experts and reorganization more
than any county Office.
