NEW YORK, DAY BY DAY
BY o. o. MCINTYRE,

Special Cornsrondent Of TIE Washington Herald.
New York, Oct. 2o-In the Pie Zone and
along the Cornbeef Hash Meridian the
news Travelled swiftly as a shadow over
an artificial moon, making every one feel
cold and clsmmy, that precisely on the
hour 20 to % per cent increase-in price
not portion-would take effect on the bill
OF fare OF all Childs restaurssts.
Fie common went up 80 per cent. The
reverse Of stock market conditions pre-
vailed. and the result will be known in
history as the great pie panic Of 1916.
suttercakes remained steady at cents.
All Of which means that In the Childs
restaurants cut Of pie costs 10 cents in
stead Of cents and cornbeef hash 20
cents instead Of Is cents. Coffee with
cream is now 10 cents
Just before the new schedule went into
enect food Of tuying orders poured into
Chilos' Broadway emporiums. Men and
women ordered feverishly 10 lay in sup
plies Of coTnbeef hash, poached eggs
and pie common sufficient TO last them
a whole day.
And in the three-cent beAneries there
are very few dishes left at cents. They
have scared 10 cents. In the famous
Dirty Spoon Cafe-that is its real name
on the Bowery the 2-cent dishes are now
cents.
Seven years ago Samuel Rothapfel, the
owner of the Rialto, one Of the largest
movie playhouses in the world, was a
beer singer in a saloon In a city near
Pittsburgh. But while he served beer
ne dreamed-and the Slave and CZechs
and Magyars whom he served used TO
laugh and tap their heads
And then one day Samuel borrowed $50
and married the cafe owners daughter.
Today he has most Of the things he
dreamed about. His father-in-lsw fired
him, but undaunted the young man Sc
cured an old beer hall and converted II
into moving picture palace. That was
the beginning OF his career.
He was responsible for the erection OF
the strand-the other large movie palace
In New York. And he left It TO build
the Rialto. Success has left him
unspoled. Also he always has a kind
word for a waiter-he knows what a
hard life It is.
AND here is another story Of success.
The score Of the Casino hit, Flora
Bella" was written by Milton Schwarz-
Wald- He is a young American boy who
was connected with the Chicago office
Of Leo Feist. He wanted to come 10
New York and write music, but he didn't
get much encouragement so he came
anyway.
He was given a trial with the Flora
Bella score not because Il was thought
he could DO it, but to keep him away
from the New York office. Fourteen Of
the nineteen songs he wrote are reiguing
successes.
And TO put over fourteen song hits in
a season means a fabulous fortune II
THIS is his maiden effort 1t is hard TO tell
Just what he will DO next He is al

Psychologists who have carefully

is not merely inspired by the expec-
tation of better sleep IN their children,
but it is the primeval call of the femi-
nine nature. II is a maternal prompt
ing which occurs naturally to each
mother.
Savage mothers who are never
known to sing upon other occasions
invariably hum and Groom to their
children at night, and upon one other
instance-when they are painting seed.
1t is a popularity of the Zuni native
women and one which has been but
recently understood.
The theory of primitive people is
that there is some mysterious connec-
ton between the sound of a woman
voice and growing things.

WHEN YEARS BEGIN TO FLY
With Advancing Years, Time Has
Disconcerting Manner OF Slipping
Away With Rapidly.

One of the most puzzling phenome-
ma in all life is the peculiar difference
in the conception of the flight of time
existing between the child and the
aged person. A year seems an age TO
a child, but to a grown person only
few DAYS. If both young and old were
to estimate the length of time con
sumed by an hour they would inva-
riably coincide in their decision; ike
wise in describing minute or sec
ond, but when the year is thought OF
a tremendous difference is noted.
William James, the great psycholo-
gist. explained this strange freak OF
our mentality when he analysed 1t
thus. THE same space of time seems
shorter as we grow older-that is, the
months and the years do SO; whether
the hours do so is extremely doubtful,
and the minutes and seconds, to all
appearances, remain about the same.
In youth we may have an absolute
" new experience. subjective or ob1ec'
tive. every hour of the day. Apprehen-
sion is vivid, retentiveness strong, and
our recollections of that time, like
those spent in rapid and interesting
travel, are of something intricate, null
titudinous and long drawn out.
'But as each passing year converts
some of these experiences into auto
matte routine, which we hardly note
at all, the days and the weeks smooth
themselves out in recollection to con
tentless units and the years grow hol
| low and collapse"
