RICHARD JOSE SAYS OLD
 SONGS ARE COMING BACK

The national taste in music is inn proving.
 Richard J. Jose says so. There is a sentimental ballad wave sweeping over the country. declares the man who is largely responsible for the. vogue of songs with heart interest
 Ragtime is a thing of the past The wonderful, changeable public has gone back to the songs of long ago, the songs with a meaning and an heart interest. MT. Jose has been singing one of those old time songs for the past eighteen years. He sang "Sil- yer Threads Among the Gold when few people, even singers. were sing ing other than rag time.
 The craze of the soon song died out and that tells the story said MT. Jose. The love of the old songs, Silver Threads Among the Gold and When You and Were Young Dear will never die and the reason is that one stirs you to tap the floor with your cane and the other stirs your heart The song writers of today will turn to type popular years ago like The Blue and the Gray Two Little Girls in Blue and songs of like char acter. Why it makes my blood boil to recall how hymns have been turn ed into ragtime. Imagine a man having the audacity to rag Nearer My God to Thee" he added as he turned to w. J. Elleford and was met with a quick reply of, "Sacrireligi- ous," from his one time associate.
 Many years ago MT Jose appeared with Mr Elleford who, for a quar- ter of a century was one of the best known theatrical men on the coast. He came to Phoenix a day in ad- vance of his engagement at the Ari- Zona that he might pass the time in reviewing their past together.

 Kick In for a solid year at the Re public theater, with John Barrymore in the role of Chick Hewes.

It seemed that Mir. -- or pardon, Miss Burro knew every landmark ana blade of grass along the road and insisted on stopping and renewing appropriateness.

The official bjrro guide informed Mr Fielding that he had broken several Commandments" and a few clubs, but had added some very choice cuss words to his vocabulary.
 The following morning the burro anI escort the property man). started fer the foothills two hours before the company. Mr. Fielding met them two miles out on the Mcdowell road and props was crying and pleading with her royal highness but of no avail. The auto truck was sent from the studio and the incorrigible was loaded therein-much to the amusc- meat of the hystanders and to the satisfaction and delight of the burro.
 Yesterday Mir. Fielding received a complaint from the owner that he had spoileG his very good burro and that now she insists cn climbing in most every auto sEe sees. Fielding says: "Show me the one that would not do likewise under the circumstances" RICHARD JOSE AND THIRTEEN

The ENDLESS HUNT
MANS SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS
TOUCHES ALL PEOPLES.
There's Theme for Poet or moraIIst
In Strange Guatemala Indian
Legend-Faith In God
the surest Way.

Among the Indians of Guatemala, ac-
cording TO the Christian Herald, who
possess many remarkable traditions, a
legend has been reserved which might
form theme for the poet or the NOR
alist. At the foot of Mount Sucareno
lies lake, placid and beautiful in its
solitude = huge, glittering, gold
named serpent and a water maiden,
who is the counterpart of the Lorelei.
Her singing has an irresistible charm
to draw the casual listener, who is
promptly seized by the golden serpent
and dragged down to the lakes bot
tom. There he is delivered to giant,
who Is the guardian Of secret treas
ure hidden in cave. What the treas
ure is no one knows; but 1t Is some
thing for which all men seek. Some
believe 1t TO be mass of priceless
jewels; others aver that 1t is a charm
which Is capable of curing all human
ills. But the Oldest and wisest of the
tribesmen wag their heads knowingly
and say that the hidden treasure,
which no human power has ever sue
ceeded In grasping. is happiness, and
that the great deity who directs the
lives of men has placed it beyond their
reach. All through the ages men have
sought for 1t but failed to grasp it, and
many have persisted in the attempt.
1t is only an old heather legend, yet
it pictures the cease1ess search for
happiness which has gripped the hui
man heart ever since time began-a
search in which love and wealth are
the lures that WOO to danger and even
death. Those who are wiser and
whose understandings have been en-
Hghtened know that happiness comes
| unasked to him who serves God and
his fellowmen, and who makes his
| life a blessing to others To such a
one there comes, some day, an ex-
perience like that of the humble tiller
OF the soil who, having been true and
| faithful and kind, found happiness

beautiful, but our own hearts tells US

interesting instrument.

When a German aeroplane on recon-
naissance duty over the French lines
was recently brought down by the al
lies, an aerial camera of an odd type
was recovered intact. The instrument
is described with illustration, in the
Popular Mechanics magazine. It
proved to be a splendid instrument
and has attracted much interest
among members of the flying corps.
At the rear of the case a handle and
trigger like those OF revolver are
provided the latter being used to OPP

100 to 1900 yards.

OLD AND NEW SWIMMING HOLE
That of the Present Day Cannot obIit-
crate Grandfather's Memories of
His Youth.

Memory goes tracking back through
the years to the old swimming hole.
This one was on the current side" Of
a great river, and the nadir of one OF
IFS ma estic bends. Huge elm and oak
trees grew on the bank and shaded
waters whose Hmpid depths held such
delights as nowhere else have been
experienced. The smooth rock bottom
of the river was ever washed clean,
while the white sand of the bit Of
beach along the shore was firm and
grateful to the foot. This ideal spot
was not easy to access. but the enter
prfsing youth of the village found am
pie recompense in its joys for any ex-
ertion, even on the hottest day, re-
quired TO reach Ii. Those who swan
there, now grown gray. look at the
homes that have invaded their happy
land with some thoughts of sorrow.
The old swimming hole Is only a
cherished memory, remarks the Omaha
Bee. Its wonderful freedom, in all
ways appreciated by healthy boy,
is contragted with the modern swim
ming hole, provided by great city,
mindful of the needs Of It's growing
citizens. In this case it Is huge
tank. set on the slope of one of the
fine hills In city park, surrounded
by beautiful trees, well kept lawn
and provided with all the ap-
purtenances needful to the complete
enjoyment of the boldest swimmer OF
most graceful or daring diver. It is a
wonderful pool and the shouts of glee
that come up from Its surface these
hot evenings testify most forcefully
to the appreciation of old and young
of privilege.
The new swimming hole is typical
of the newer life into which the race
is merging its existence, the urban
rather than the rural. 1t is regular
step in the orderly progress of mans
evolution, but It's well appointed and
equally regulated delights viii never
take the place of that splendid swim
ming hole nature provided for the use
of boys, many OF whom are now grand
fathers.

To attain success you must saturate

mental attitude, William e. Towne in
the Nautilus Magazine tells of a
teacher Of win power development in
Paris who was consulted by a young
woman who complained that she was
always being jostled in crowds and
treated rudely by the clerks in the
shops. The instructor explained to her
that she had surrounded herself with
an aura of "self-depreciatios and NOR
bid sensitiveness," which fairly Gin
vited" people to impose upon her. Her
mental atmosphere was SO negative
that it attracted more positive natures
to push her aside. She was instructed
how to keep and maintain positive
attitude of selfassertion and seIf-re-
spect. For time she was even to
cultivate an aggravating form of self
assertion in order to more quickly off,
set her negative habits of thought con-
corning herself and her relation to
other people. The result was that
within a very short time she was
treated with the greatest respect and
consideration wherever she went and
even in crowds she was shown far
more than the ordinary degree of
