GREAT AMERICANANONAN PIANIST SAYS PEOPLE.
SHOULD EMPLOY TALENTS FOR EARNING A LIVING
By MADAME ETHEL LEGINSKA

Americn's Greatest Woman Pianist.
believe that the average person
should contemplate earning his living
by the time he reaches ls years of
age.
That an artist or genius should
think of earning a living as at all
necessary might be new, but / earned
my first salary at the age of s.
Develop Talents.
III children In school were taught to
earn their living at this age In life
there would not be time for the
roundabout study of generaIities,
which now consumes the years OF
childhood. 1t is wrong to make a
child study that for which he Is not
fitted. He should be taught to earn
his living through his talents.
The fact that a child has apprecia-
ton OF music does not indicate that
he should learn to play. Appreciation
and talent are two different things.
Everyone should have'an appreciation
of all the beautiful, but everyone
cannot produce-create. A child with
a talent for music will want to study
and only such children should study.
Everyone has a talent for something
and developing this should be his life
work.
1 played my first notes at the age
OF one and half, seated in the lap
of an elder at an old piano. At the
age of ; l demanded lessons of
my mother. who helped me as far
as she could. She saw there was
something serious In my inclination
and directed me toward specializing
in music.
My mother was a very sensible
woman. Realizing that l did not
need the regular public school cur
riculum in order to develop my art
she allowed me only one hour each
day for general study. However
believe that every child should have
at least one year OF associa ton with
other children as a part OF his de-
velopment.
My interest in music led me to read
everything from history of music to
harmony. and from the construction
of musical instruments to the study
Of sound.

HOW TO KEEP
YOUR HOUSE
FREE OF FLIES

Arsenic is losing out. In the an
nual fight against flies, the United
States government now suggests
two fly poisons better than arsenic,
because they are not poisonous to
children, are attractive to flies, and
are easy to handle and to prepare.
These are sodium salicilate and for
maldehyde.
The proper strength of either
poison may be obtained by dissolv-
ing three teaspoonfuls of the pow
der in a pint of water.
Preparation of Poison.
A common drinking glass. a
saucer. and a piece of white blot
ting paper. are all the property"
required to stage a fly crusade with
either of these preparations. The
drinking glass should have a thin
edge, and the blotting paper must
he white and cut exactly to fit the
dish. The glass should be filled to
two-thirds it's capacity. or a trifle
more. with the solution. Then. the
bIotter having been placed in the
saucer. the saucer is put over the
top of the glass, bottom up. The
glass is quickly inverted, so that it
rests upon the saucer as a base. a
the edge of the glass to form an
outlet for a small amount of the
poison. This will not run out until
the amount in the saucer is gone,
which will allow more to flow in
keeping the blotter constantly moist
with poison.
To stupefy Flies.
or course. there are other ways
to kill flies, too. For instance, d
general massacre is possible by the
use of pyrethrum powder. which
stupefies the flies. 1t must be fol-
lowed up by a thorough sweeping
to gather all the flies in one spot
to be burned.
Flower swattcrs.
Odors pleasing TO man are almost al
ways offensive to flies. Take honey
suckle blossoms. white clover, mig
nonette or geranium, place them
throughout the house. and the flies
will usually stay away. Or a small
amount of oil of lavender. mixed
with an equal amount of water. and
sprayed with an ordinary atomic
er. in the places where flies are
+thickest. is usually sufficient to
drive them out. for the time. =
Another mixture harmless to peo-
pie. but poisonous-tos flies. is a So
luton made of a tablespoonful OF
brown sugar, an equal amount of
black pepper, ground. When this
is usedGthe room should be dark
ened. with the exception OF one
window. and~the poison, in a saucer.
set in that window.

Nothing But a Ford
 Could Have Done It

Mir A. A. Wilson, an employee of the Copper Queen conveyor, describ- ing a trip he had just made through New Mexico and Texas in his new Ford car, said, Nothing but Ford could have done it."
 He purchased his Ford car from F. C. Bledsoe, the local Ford agent, and left the following day with his wife and three children and com plete camp outfit The first camp was pitched at Rodeo. Good time was made to this point, mainly due to the fact that Wilson knows every mile of the road to Rodeo, having driven it countless number of times in the past.
 Between Serfa Blanco and Van Horn the going was mostly heavy sand. On this stretcht he passed several big cars that found trouble and had to deflate their tires to pull through but the Ford went right along much to the envy of the big car owners. From there on 'into Sonora the party hit heavy rains which played havoc with the adobe roads and made the going hard.
 For the total trip the party GOV cred 2500 miles and averaged for the complete run twenty-eight miles to the gallon of gasoline. They ar rived back in Bisbee with the same air in all four tires that they left with. MT. Wilson kept an account of all his car expenses for the total trip and the total was only $2S.1O.

Hot Air vs. Free Air

In a drug store the other evening where I sat imbibing a cold drink I overheard the proprietor behind the prescription desk talking disgustedly and feelingly to a clerk about the peo- pie who come into the store and used the telephone or the directory, ask for information and buy few stamps and go ut without leaving any money the druggist can call his own.
 That druggist has small business and small store, though he is located on a busy corner I have often won dered why his business does not grow, because on another similar corner have seen another druggist, no better informed and with no more capital build up tremendous trade.
 Then yesterday I stopped at ga- rage for gas, and while I wandered along in front of the place could over hear tn eboss inside complaining in just the same tone of voice used by that druggist He was raying about the motorists who come along and take of his free air sign or borrow hand pump or a wrench or put in a pail of water at his expense.
