Theodore p. shontz, Musician.
From the Baltimore News.


New York.-Many of the friends of
Theodore p. Shonts, president Of the
marlborough Rapid Transit company,
who concede that he is a master strike
breaker, have never known him in the
role of a master musician.
Strains of sweet music yelling from
the Interborough's strike headquar-
ters'' on the fifth floor Of the Belmont
hotel, revealed the truth; for, even as a
certain celebrated despot fiddled while
Rome burned, SO Mr.. Shonts has piled
the bow while canning" the traction
strike.
When the head of the city's largest
transportation system was taxed with
responsibility of the music which nae
been heard across the corridor he
b%lushingly confessed that he had "fid-
died. to his own delight since he was
a young man in Iowa and that in times
Of business discord like those Of the
last fortnight he found surcease still in
musical h~armonies.
IT have four violins right in this
building" MI. Shonts said. "One Of
them is a certified Cremona and an
other I believe to be a genuine Strad-
ivarius. My father was a strict Scotch
Presbyterian and believed musical in
struments were tools of the devil. They
sent ME to a strict Scotch PRESBYTERIAN
college, but it was my fond mother who
Struggled to me a little extra allowance
money with which l bought my first
fiddle. I picked out all my tunes by ear
only and | had fiddled some time before
1 learned to rea musical scores
readily"
MI. Shonts said that among his
earliest achievements with his first VIC
lin were Yankee DOODLE" "Arkansaw
Traveller" and The Darby RAM" all OF
which he played by ear. He repudiated
the suggestion that his fondness for
1.-THE Darby Ram" and "Arkansaw
Traveller possibly betrayed thus early
in life a g~enius>for victories in the field
of transportation. When he admitted

How Eous Are Graded.

Farm and Fireside has an interest
ing story about h selling and hand
ling of eggs The writer of the article
says:
"Candling is done by wholesalers.
The jobbers usually buy from the COM
mission men, and handle from 800 to
500 cases a week. The jobber has pro-
fessional men Gambling the eggs. These
men work about eight hours a day and
candle from three to four cases an
hour, depending on the time Of year.
Warm weather and fertile eggs slow
down the Gambling process, due to the
poorer quality Of eggs. and this, Of
course, raises the price to the consum-
err.
Eggs are usually graded into:
"Fancies-Clean eggs with full,
solid bodies, small air cell and indis-
tinct yolk.
"Firsts-Yolk heavier and darker. air
cell larger, showing more evaporation.
"Seconds-Yolk much darker, settled
and contents shrunken.

BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
More Likely to Possess Dashino and
Intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal Avlators.

War aviation. With Its exceptional
dangers and its demands for supreme
courage, Is peculiarly a service for
volunteers. But 1t has been delnon-
strated, says st. Nicholas Magazine,
that the younger the wal pilot the
more likely is he to possess those
dashing and intrepid qualities that
make the ideal air fighter. Conse-
quently, the government is opening
wide the door of the aviation service
for volunteers under twenty-one, the
CONSUMPTION age. The army is already
giving officers commissions to young
men nineteen years of age, while the
navy has reduced it's limit to eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers are
permitted to operate American military
a%irplanes, so all our flyers will get
commissions.
Boys considerably younger than
eighteen car be thinking now of be
coming war pilots, with reasonable
expectations of seeing actual service.
AS long as the war goes oil, the air
craft program will keep growing, since
only the declaration Of peace will jus
tify a lessening of our effort.
First, let us see the qualifications
of those suited to war aviation. The
: athletic type of boy is preferred. To
have been a member of a team is
usually Il good indication Of pluck and

! good vis.on and hearing, are absolute

cool head; he is able to act quickly in
emergencies. 1t is important, too, that
the wal pilot be an accurate observer
and equally important that he possess
the ability to form correct judgments.

MUST NOT BOTHER EDISON
Visitors Not Permitted to lntrude on
Great Inventor When He Is Busy
at His Experiments.

Thomas A. Edison's favorite pur-
suit is chemistry. Even as a boy
telegraphist getting his first start to-
wards a career, this inclination a
manifest in his experiments with bat
teries and electric devices, and it still
remains his greatest pleasure, observes
an exchange.
His new laboratory is splendidly
equipped. Every known substance
ranging through all the kingdoms Of
matter from lanthanum to sharks
teeth and including over 100000 speci-
mems, is kept on hand for immediate
availability. 1t is a collection of owe
80 years standing, encouraged from
time to time by prizes for new addi-
lions offered by the inventor to his
men.
His own laboratory table is never,
in any circumstances, allowed to be
touched. A notice posted on the door
way reads to the effect that Mr.. Edi-
son is not to be disturbed in the course
of his experiments except for matter
of the utmost Importance. SO fond is
he of his beloved pastime that he de-
clares his idea Of heaven is to be able
to continue it, and his injunctions to
his staff are "When / die / want my
table forwarded to me by wireless"
