WHERE HIGH PRICES PAY
New York Evening Post)

New York Evening PoSO
The old days when a popular novel
could be purchased for few hundred
dollars for picture production are no
more. Today a novel of comparatively
limited circulation will frequently
bring several thousand dollars, and
record price was recently established
when $4,000 was paid for the screen
rights in Booth Tarkington's "Penrod."
Ordinarily one is expected to pull a
long face over high prices, but there
are exceptions, particularly in the ar
tistic world. 1t is quite safe to tell the
public that one of it's favorite singers
has been engaged to give a recital for
a check that would have amazed Pat
ii: persons who would have hesitated
to go at the usual price will besiege
the box office for the privilege of
listening to notes that come so high
The farmer is supposed to cry out at
the injustice of what he gets from the
grain dealer, he is squeezed by the
packers, but when one reads of an au-
thor's royalties, and sees pictures of
his summer home, his horses and his
dogs, he is expected to have glow of
satisfaction. Is this the tribute we
pay to art?

boxes Neff for the title tomorrow

The last time Wallace showed in

PLENTY OF CHAMPAGNE LEFT

(Kansas City Starr
Although Americans can take little
more than an academic interest in
champagne, the fact is that Frances
champagne industry was not ruined by
the war An inventory has been taken
of the wine cellars in the devastated
districts and the report has been most
favorable The Germans occupying
Reims for a short period in 1914 man
aged to use 10000 bottles of champagne
but even this large amount is not
missed among the hundred million bot
ties left in Reims and the Epernay
district
Although the wine makers in this
of France wrere all in the army, the
women carried on the work SO success
fully that in 1915 10 million bottles
were exported and in 1917 20 million.
When the great German offensive
was at its height in 1918, the famous
wine cellars of Epernay, Chateau
Thierry, and Dormans were in danger
of being ruined by the invaders. The
French, however, carefully hid this
great store of champagne and mined
the cellars at the same time, so that
in case the Germans did remain VIC
tors in this district the French could
blow up the stores rather than lose
them to the enemy. But they were
saved and champagne is the most pop
ular wine in Paris today and selling
at the modest price of $40 bottle.

WHEN THE TIME CHANGED
minneapolis Tribune.)

After saving 6,931 years of sunlight
this summer, Minneapolis residents
turned their timepieces back an hour
recently and resolved to discontinue
the annual saving of 60.990,000 hours
of light.
The extra hour of sunlight during
summer months, provided in the fed
eral daylight law, vanished officially
at a. m. but, for convenience sake,
clocks and timepieces in homes were
changed when families retired in most
cases.
Mr.. Average Citizen, who set his
clock or watch back, probably failed
to appreciate his part in the magni-
tude of total saving which resulted
when he set his timepiece an hour
ahead on March 81, but H. A Stuart,
city statistician, did Figures pro-
duced on a basis of 2S5,000 population
by Mr.. Stuart show that Minneapolis
saved 2,540,S33 days of "a hours each
during the summer or total of 6,931
years. OF course, Minneapolis has a
larger population than that and a
larger saving accordingly, now.

DOUGLAS IS J|NX
PHOENIX CARS
IN DESERT Rae:

The link" seems TO have attached
itself firmly with the Phoenix entrants
in the FL Paso to Phoenix race. Three
of the local cars, well up among the
leaders, were either forced out of the
running or lost several valuable hours,
before arriving at Bisbee the night
control station.
D. D. Griffith, driver of the Hudson
"Bluebird" entered by Cal Messner,
was one of the unlucky drivers. Grit
fifth had made a wonderful showing in
the endurance test up to the time he
was forced, temporarily, out of the run
ming 16 miles west of Douglas when
connecting rod burned out. He was
in fifth place at that time, within easy
reach of the leader.
telegram received by Cal Messner
last evening stated that the necessary
repairs had ben made on the car, which
arrived in Bisbee shortly after Z
o'clock.
Messner Immediately wired Griffith
to continue in the race tomorrow.
Jimmy Thomas, driving Bob Sauf-
leys Paige, winner Of the Douglas
Phoenix road race two years ago, was
also forced out of the running at Bis
bee tonight, his trouble likewise being
burned out connecting rod. Thomas
reached Douglas at 4:10 o'clock. His
time was 6 hours and 81 minutes,
which placed him among the first
seven leaders.
Frank Babcock, driving the Print
ers' Special" a Dodge. turned turtle
just west of Deming and suffered a
broken collar bone. He continued in
the race, Notwithstanding these in
| juries, and unofficial reports were TO
the effect that he reached Bisbee. Mr..
Saufley last night wired his driver,
Jimmy Thomas, to relieve Babcock at
the wheel of the Printers Special,
and continue the race into this city.
The whereabouts of w. E Duel, driv
| ing a Marmon entered by G. X. Thomp
son, are still mystery. Duel was last
heard from at Deming, the report plac-
| ing him last in the race at that point
No check has been received on his at
any of the other checking stations.
| Another mystery was still unsolved
at a late hour last night as to the
whereabouts of H. L. Altenburgh, driV-
ing Buick No. 90. Altenburgh was not
officially checked at Deming, the frs
station, and all efforts to learn whether
or not he started have so far failed.
The Rowe Special entered by e. T
Rowe of Phoenix, was not permitted tc
start in the race. When Hutchings
was shot, however, it made RECORD
breaking run to the scene of the shoot
ing and hurried the wounded man u
an Ell Paso hospital, where he died {
few hours later.
Hugh B. Miller, driving the Pope
Hartford that ran the first race in 1913
entered Bisbee yesterday afternoon il
third place, only three minutes behint
the leader and two minutes behind the
second car. Local enthusiasts are pick
ing him to win the race.

The thoroughbred card for the open
ing day of the state fair looks the best
of anything ever written since the
track was built
On paper the Arizona Derby should
get the call, but the first race at six
furlongs has attracted ten of the best
horses at the meeting, and if they all
go it is anybody's race.
On form, Art Rick looks the logical
overnight favorite, but the bay son
OF Leonidis has his work cut out to de-
feat Myrtle A. right now a mighty
sweet mare, VINO will take a lot of
beating over the distance, for she is
particularly good at this time.
Striker, which has been a consistent
winner around the hard boot circuit
in Kentucky, is dangerous at this
distance and is said to be ready and
fit. Curlicue, an intermountain horse,
has been a constant winner this sea-
son, and if he is in his Cheyenne form
he is bound to be a contender
Little Abe, at Reno. where he won
from some good fields, was a hard
horse to beat and he has a grand
chance, even with the class which con-
fronts him in this event.
There will be perhaps no event over
the six-furlong distance at this meet
ing that will see as many good horses
face the barrier as this first day Of
fering.
Six events feature the card and
aside from the big race. the Arizona
Derby, should be the class. Five
horses owned in this state will face
the barrier if they all go, and there Is

CBoonviile MOI Pelublican. }

(Boonville (Mo.) Republican,
gold coin scales of tak type so
useful to merchants in the middle of
the Ninteenth Century is one OF the
relics kept by Jeff Davis of Boone
vile. Modern methods Of exchange
have rendered the scales useless but II
is in as good condition as it was when
his grandfather used II at Cole Neck
sixty years ago.
At the time b. B. Brereton set up his
little store at Cole Neck, just a half
mile north of what is now Clifton City,
the pioneers were crossing the plains
in search of gold. Gold sweating"
was common. Particles of gold dust
were removed from the coin so that its
value rather than its appearance suf-
fered. The merchant had to be con-
stantly on the lookout for underweight
coins when dealing with such class
of trade.
A pair Of scales was bought by Mr..
Brereton for this purpose. brass
weight was used in balancing the
scales to get the exact weight of the
coin. But the weight test was not the
only one applied. slot of varying
size is in each receptacle on the scales.
The slots were for the 81, $3.50, SO, IS,
$40 and $50 coins. Coins failing to
fit exactly in their respective slots

course, you can only think of the

This is tolerably instructive cat
alogue Of the secrets of the great army
Of singing teachers. What makes the
state Of affairs worse is that students
are continually in search OF such char
latanism. A teacher who has no magic
short cut to offer, who possesses no
fad. who asks his pupils to learn
breath support, the art of spinning the
tone, perfect purity of vowel sounds
the root OF a beautiful tone-and who
requires the young aspirant to face the
ordeal Of years of honest work, with
no prospect of suddenly leaping the
fence and landing in the middle OF the
field of glory, will have to bo con-
tented with a modest number OF dis
ciples and a more modest income tax.
Yet go as far back as you Will in
the history OF vocal art and you will
find always evidence to convince you
that the old skill of Italy was slowly
developed from the third century to
the fifteenth along perfectly normal
lines. The foundation of the method
was discovered after the opening of
schools of chant in 314 a. d. by order
of Pope Julian. These schools aimed
only at systematizing the style of sing
ing the chant in the various churches.
But as soon as analysis was applied
TO the manner OF singing the long sus-
tained phrases of the early chant It
was discovered that a physical equip
ment was essential. That physical
equipment was breath support, and
thus the first elements Of the Italian
mastery of vocal technic were the con-
troll OF the breath and the smooth ennis
sion known as legato.
Upon these rest the law and the
prophets. The proof of the matter
can be tested at any song recital.
Upon the public stage the bed, the
patented machine and the broomstick
cannot accompany the singer. Only
singing Is left to him, and if he has
no breath support and no legato he
may as we'll return to his broomstick
