HELD BACK NJ E PROGRESS
Announcing Hour Of Noon. Secondary
In Importance to Mexican Serv.
ants Other Duties.

A certain village in northern Mexico
did not boast Of a town clock. When
twelve o'clock arrived the parish
priest used to tell his servant to
mount the BERRY and strike the church
bell twelve times, so that the villagers
would know that it was high noon.
One of the neighbors, who had a
watch, noticed that for some days
twelve o'clock had struck a few min
uteS late. Thinking that perhaps the
priests watch was slow, he asked
the mozo (servant) why it IA that
he had delayed in striking the hour.
The moZo answered:
ut Is this way: The padrecito
tells mt it is time to strike twelve;
but just as am to start up the ladder
the cook Tells me to get the tortillas.
So ! have to go after tortillas, and
when l get back and climb the ladder
again it makes the noon late"

LOOKED LIKE SURE TROUBLE
Little Wonder Courtroom Was in Pan
ic over Colored Woman's Spectac-

ular Appearance.
During a trial of a colored man in
the criminal court recently on a
charge of murder, there was consid-
erable nervous tension in the court
room, the result of remarks that had
teen made that some one was going
to start something" regardless of the
outcome of the case. The courtroom
was crowded to capacity, and several
police officers were stationed about
HE room.
At an impressive moment, while the
defendant was on the witness stand,
A commotion was heard at one of the
courtroom doors. Into the midst of
the nervous spectators walked a
large colored woman who carried in
one hand a formidable-looking rifle.
Policemen and detectives seized her
and rushed her into an outside room,
where they began examining the
weapon. 1t was not loaded. She ex-
planned that she had been in juvenile
court in a case in which the rifle had
been used as evidence.
Before going home, she said, she
decided to hear some of the evidence
in the murder case. She and her rifle
were sen out of the building, and the
murder trial was resumed.-Indianapo-

WOMEN TAKING TO M0NoCLE
Single EyeaIass Rapidly Becoming
Popular Among the Smart Set In
English Society.

Two f~ashionably dressed women
were seen in Regent street the other
day, each wearing a monocle screwed
into the right eye. According to a
member OF a ~well-known firm of op-
hcians the wearing of the single eye
glass is becoming popular among wom-
en- in society.
"We have had several orders for
monocles from women recently he
said. 'In every case there was genu-
Inc trouble with one eye only. Rather
b a wear pince-nez fitted with one
plain glass for the good eye, they pre-
ferred monocles as being the least dis
fgurement. They all chose those fit
ted with gold rims as being the most
comfortable and the easiest to keep
in the eye. They take cords also, for
1t requires the confidence born of long
experience to wear a monocle without
a guard.
After all, why should the monocle
be a masculine glass only? 1t is a
mistake for some people to regard it
as only a facial decoration for dudes
and politicians. Where only one eye
Is defective a superfuous glass is n
nuisance.
The mcnocle lends distinction to the
right kind Of face. 1t best suits peo-
pie with sharpcut features. It is about
time that the monocle came into its
own."|London Globe.

Sand Long Retained Properties.

Prof. Fl. L. Fairchild Of the Uni
versity of Rochester and DR.. II. Car
rington Bolton Of New York found
the sands at Rockaway beach emitting
q high musical note one summer day
in 1884. They collected some Of the
sand and took 1t home, where Prof.
Fairchild put in a large glass bottle
a sample, but except for that Il in
stance the sand has been undisturbed
for more-than thirty-fve years.
Professor Fairchild writes now to
Science, saying that on December 2,
1919, he poured the contents Of the
bottle into a stocking and found that
when quickly compressed 1t still gave
out its characteristic high note, aud
ible at a considerable distance. But
since he spread 1t out in a dry room
and handled it considerably it has
lost its sonorous quality.

NJ. Poincare, as president of the

said:

DOING THINGS By WHOLESALE
Easy to See Many Advantages In New
Methods Rapidly Being Brought
to Perfection.

I..NH.E2 |-
Heretofore we have bought medical
service at retail. Now Glasgow is try
Ing out a plaA to sell medical service
wholesale.
What Glasgow Is striving to do is
this: Divide the city in districts and
provide free dispensaries and free doc
tors to all who need medical attention.
It Is claimed that such a scheme will
reduce the death rate, because many
poor people now skimp their families
in the matter of health precautions.
And the doctors like 1t, also. They
work fewer hours and a standard pay
Is guaranteed.
Withal, the Glasgow plan Of whole-
sale doctoring Is said to be cheaper
than u old-fashioned retail method,
"Girard" writes In the Philadelphia
Press.
American cities have made half q
step toward such doctoring Of the peo-
pie in wholesale lots.
We have boards Of health and health
bureaus. They administer In a gem
eral way and they administer in whole-
sale doses.
An order goes out and 1t goes for
all the people. It is economical and
wise, as every one knows, during such
an epidemic as the "fu" was last
year.
Doctoring BY wholesale saved mil
lions Of lives In that one calamity.
Uncle Sam did the insuring OF his
" soldiers by wholesale in the last
war.
Public schools supply education in
wholesale quantities.
Our spiritual wants are supplied IN
fashion Wholesale through the
churches. &
So wholesale doctoring Is only an-
other days maxch In the general di-
rection OF a socialistic empire.

MISS RoMAINE PLAYS.

The piano recital which Miss Ninon
Romanaine gave yesterday afternoon IN
Aeolian Hall had one merit which
should have especial notice. She de-
voted her programme to the works of the
three masters most intimately assocf-
ated with the romantic movement in
piano music. Schumann, Chopin and
List instead of trying to sweep the
whole range Of composition. Last win
ter much Schumanp was played. but thus
far in the presentSAeason there has been
less. This is probably a good thing for
Schumann as we'll as for many OF tho
pianists for few of them can adequately
reveal the beauties of his compositions
Miss Romano displayed certain quail
ties which explained her attempt She
had tone and touch both well suited to
the moods of Schumann and Chopin. She
showed evidences Of artistic appreca-
ton OF their music. too. but her achieve
ments fell short OF her intentions. She
lacked chiefly the rhythmic inclsiveness
and the delicate graduation OF force re-
quisite to clearly drawn interpretations
Perhaps also a larger command OF the
singing resources of the piano would
have been helpful.
