FIND BIG STILL IN
APARTMENT HOUSE

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Feb. 15.-
What is declared to be the largest pri
vate distillery ever found in the
United States has been unearthed in
the, basement of the Altmore apart
ment house here by the police. and
the alleged operator and owner Of the
apartment, H. Kelso HALEY. promi-
nent clubman and business man,
placed under arrest along with three
negroes who were assisting him. The
distillery was discovered by accident,
city detectives having been at the
time chasing a negro charged with
housebreaking and who sought refuge
in a secret passage to the basement
Of the apartment.
One apparatus of 100-gallon capac-
ity daily, was in full operation, while
arrangements were being made to
place four more stills at work, which
would have turned out a total OF 500
gallons day. HALEY was discovered
working on a new copper worm in
one Of the many apartments under
the buildings and great quantities OF
corn in various stages used for max
ing whiskey were found.

LEGINSKA CHARMS
DESPITE HANDICAP

Leginska, as always, charmed q
large and appreciative audience in her
recital at the National Theater yes
terday afternoon, although this little
artist of the piano was not in her best
form. She had, in fact, been obliged
TO cancel, one recital elsewhere, and
1t was not until she reached the en-
core TO her Chopin group, the Mosz-
kowski waltz in E major" that she
came into. her own.
Here one felt the subtle rhythmic
spirit Of this quaint and picturesque
artist, as she wooed mellow tones and
piquant moods from her keyboard. 1t
quite .atoned for the lapse in memory
that crept several times into the
Chopin "POlonaise."
Leginska is essentially a dramatist,
rather than a psychologist. She
reached her climax in the Liszt "Sec-
ond Rhapsody" into which she
brought orchestral tints in tone-types
of great variety, some airy and others
almost vfrulent in their mood. Her
splendid climax, in a great crescendo,
brought forth quite a storm of ap-
plause, until as encore she gave quite
the loveliest Interpretation Of her
program in the haunting eastern
themes and pianistic delicacy of the
LiSzt Thirteenth Rhapsody"
: Two MaCDoWell numbers she
played, omitting the Witches Dance"
as programmed. ITO the Sea" was
most striking in contrasts. though
she did not fully realize the rich
Mcdowell hafmonies. THE. "HItn-
garian" gave out charming atmos-
phere in tone and pedal effects, color,
and that mystery of meaning and dra-
matte whim that symbolizes Leginska
when her wizardry comes into play.
Rachmaninoff's prelude in G
minor" was interesting, with its mill
taire spirit and an effective eastern
atmosphere. The delicacy of its close
was beautifully executed. Nine. Le-
ginska also gave the Chopin ''Noc-
tune" 3 major, and Beethoven's So
nata, op. 53. ]. MacB.

fashion:
I'VE have in the United States Sc
rious difficulty owing principally to
the Unwillingness of financial inter
ests TO cooperate in building prof.
ects with. the material and labor
market in its present condition. We
are working on a total of nine indus
trial projects, involving approXi-
mately 5000 workmen's homes, to be
carried out by private interests in
various important industrial centers
but in each case we are hampered by
the building loan situation. The
only definite work we expect to carry
out without delay is located outside
of the United States"
From st. Louis, Mo, a well-known
architect writes: Il am firmly con-
yinced- that the one thing the build
ing public wants to know is the cost
of building today as compared to the
next three to five years. If they
could be assured that the cost VIII
not drop within that time, there
would be a tendency to proceed with
the needed work" So

Have Patience With Yourself.

Sometimes it keeps a fellow busy
having patience with himself. He
knows himself capable of doing a
given work. He Graves for the chance
and when it comes he makes mess
of it. Or it may be that he wants to
be exceptionally calm under given
test and he can't control himself and
betrays his fears. Oh. it's trying all
right. but you will come out on the
credit side if YOU can have patience.
Let folks laugh at you if they will.
You stick to your job and see that you
give the old man the best of self-man-
agement. Remember he's your hardest
proposition and more likely than any
body else to take advantage of you. 1t

with him, but it will pay. Instead of
wallowing in self-disgust just face the
facts honestly and apply the helps
where they are needed most. You will

china,s Mineral Wealth.

In the light of the constantly pre-
6icted exhaustion of the worlds coal
supply the following note from the
United States commerce reports is OF
interest:
"For the past 20 years the world
has heard marvellous stories OF
Chfna's vast wealth Of coal, yet China
imports more than it exports. The
figures for 1917 show 100000 tons ex-
ported and 100000 tons imported,
yet. according to v. K. Ting, director
of the geological survey of China. a
minimum estimate Of China's wealth
in coal indicates that 1t is sufficient to
supply the worlds consumption, at its
present rate of 1,000.000O00 tons a
year, for a period of LOCO years. Prob
ably no other statement made concern
ing China would demonstrate more
forcibly than this the backwardness of
the country in modern industrial de-
velopment. Coal is known to occur
In every province in China.
