it to come in and be communistic about the
rent.
And the world came. Ali the Roses
friends were there the first Sunday after the
invitation, and they brought their friends
and the friends friends brought their friends
Within few weeks the island housed
f1ourishing colony Of sailors without ships
poets without cash, radicals Of all descriptions
and contingent Of grubby persons who had
regular jobs in town and who came there for
the week ends.
From the beginning, however, there was
sharp though at that time not obvious di-
vision in the recruits. Some of them were
real communists; prominent l. W. WIS hard
ened freight riders, professional proletarians,
who rowed up to the island in phaIanxes sing
ing "Hallelujah, Pm bum!" The others
were parlor Bolsheviks who, in spite Of their
political views, had savings accounts and rela~
life" they were leading.
Chmneysweep was run on principles of
simon-pure communisnl-so simon-pure, in
fact, that they have rarely been subjected to
the harsh test Of reality. The noble souls
who congregated there were way beyond the
doctrine Of equal pay, equal work and equal
benefits. You paid what you felt like, on
Chimneysweep, and if you didn't feel that
way you didn't pay anything. You brought
what you liked to the community dining table,
ate as much of what other people brought as
you wanted, and washed no dishes that could
possibly be avoided. You dragged your cot
where you chose and took what bedding you
could get. First comers grabbed the Wild
Irish Roses famous "brass blankets" (from
the warehouse), later corners took the quilts
that leaked cotton all over the place, and last
comers rolled up in overcoats-anybodys
overcoat-
So Chimneysweep started on its perilous
way as haven for the temperamental.
Alphabetically the little island is admira-
bly, adapted for a feud. The Main, which in
cludes large living room, kitchen and porches,
is separated from the Nunnery by combina
ton sidewalk and pier. All the sidewalks on
Chimneysweep have to be piers on occasion
for the northeasters roll up high tides every
now and then. On the off side Of the Nunnery
IS the fiat rock where suppers and black looks
used to be toasted simultaneously during the
course of the battle. Beyond this is the bar
racks, onetime hathhouse made into cell
like sleeping apartments, where various of
the combatants used to rush at times to "oas
away from it all'
1t was the finances, of course, which caused
the first rift. Unable to escape from their
bourgeois bringing up, the parlor Bolsheviki
dived heavily into the savings accounts, and

publicity is that sometimes what was not true
! at the time of writing becomes fact after
ward. The haunted soviet story drew nnors
communists, more Wobblies, more prosecuted
martyrs. A whole class from the Rand School
came out to view the new radical headouar-
ters. After them came detective who investi-
gated everybody, including the parlor Bolshe-
Wiki. People focked there in increasing num-
bers, and denser and denser grew the Main.
In helpless rage the p. BIS seeded even from
the kitchen. They built fires on the rock near
the Nunnery and cooked their meals outdoors,
with loud laughter and much display of lettuce.
They invited friends to the al fresco meals
and did not invite the communists The latter.
left to themselves, with no 'bourgeois" around
to torment no sheets, no chops, nothing, sat
on the porch with crestfallen faces and looked
at the merry groups around the campfire
The envious looks were not lost on the parlor
Bolsheviks. 1t was the first sign of wavering
in the ranks of the foe, and the .. BIS wers
fired with passion for blood
According to the tale told by those who lived
through these trying days, the factor which
finally ended the battle was breadknife It
was not gorgeous article such as the heroine
stabs the wicked baron with in the opera. but
rusty affair, half knife and half saw. Such
as it was the p. BIS carried it off to the Nun
merry. niurmuring to themselves: 'eeWe paid for
this" When the p. BIS were in swimming the
commanists would steal over to the Nunnery
and retrieve the breadknife.
That meant one of the p. B's would have to

the result was that before long the comnns
nists had the numbers and the p. BIS had the
rent receipts. This was unfortunate It en-
abled the p. BIS to give themselves airs and
if there is anything that communist does
not like it is airs
At the outset Of the season the o. BIS, with
the aid of the rent receipts, took possession of
the Nunnery 1t was not called the Nunnery
then, but this derisive term was later be-
slowed on it by the communists because the
p. BIS used sheets
The communists fortified themselves in the
MAN, cluttered up the dining room with cots
and the kitchen with dirty dishes, and in other
ways made themselves thoroughly at home.
With this lineup it took very little to start
hostilities, and the extra bathing suits did it,
These suits belonged to the p. BIS, who cannily
kept one suit for swimming and dry one to
put on when they came out of the water. The
communists thought one bathing suit to per-
son was enough and said SO frankly. Espe-
clally when there were others who had none
When the subject was discussed the p. BIS
put on their "I-am-paying for-this" expression
and few of the airs
So one day, when one OF the communists
tried to commander the Corniake's other
bathing suit she snatched it out of his hands
and calmly walked off with it to the Nunnery.
The next week end there was nice new
paddock on the front door of the Nunnery,
and the week after that, when the p BIS ar
rived, they found that the back door of their
headquarters had been pried bodily loose by
removing the hinges and that the sacred bath
ing suits were still suspiciously damp
There were words that evening over the sup
per table, and with the next meal the D. BIS
seeded from the common dining room and ate
in the Nunnery. They still used the kitchen
from necessity, but they brought into it chops
and lettuce and all such alien substances where
before there had been naught but canned beans
and mulligan stew. There are few objects
which communist regards with more scorn
than lettuce.
When the p. BIS left the dining room they
carried off with them supply Of china and
all the so-called silver which was not RUSTY,
this by grace of the rent receipts again. 1t
was not kindly deed, but it was natural
when you consider that the communists
washed dishes by letting the tide run over
them, and then Only when there were no more

DURING the war women went into
II railroad work in large numbers,
and took over jobs that were unsuited
TO them, because the need was there
TO be filled. Since peace has come
they have left these positions. But
many women are still working for the
railroads in clerical positions and they
are liked for the work. The salaries
are good, and the treatment of the
women is said to be excellent. Where
these are required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms. and
there are matrOns whose business II is

In the banks, too, women are going
more and more into clerical work
They are working as cashiers and as

for women customers they hold jobs
as paying tellers and adjustors. The
work Is agreeable TO women who have
a sound training in bookkeeping. the
associations are pleasant, and there
will be more opportunities for advance

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
MRS. GRUNDY."

~ nee upon time-and not
~ SO very far back, at that
there was a real Mrs. Grundy,
the wife Of Judge Felix Grundy
of Nashville, Tenn. The lady
belonged TO the best social set
of the Southern city and her
opinions ION good form were
highly respected though, in the
light of emodern usages, they
would beT considered extremely
straight-laced.
During the time at which Mrs.
Felix Grandy ruled the social
set of NaAville it happened that
a theatricnt company visited the
city, presenting a play known as
"Speed the Plough" History
does not state whether the piece
was humorous or serious, vulgar
or refined. In Mrs. Grundy's
mind it was enough that it was
a dramatic production for the
wife of the Judge held that the
ater-going was a pastime which
should, not ,fse indulged In by
ladies' and gentlemen because of
the fact that it was frowned
upon by the church. BY a curl
Gus coincidence, one of the char
acters of the play was also
named Mrs. Grundy and the
audience laughed whenever she
was mentioned. The connection
was later explained TO Noah NJ.
Ludlow, manager of the COM
papy. and the name was launched
in theatrical parlance as the
title Of a mythical person who
rules the social and moral des-
tinies of a community.
After Martin Van Buren's
election to the presidency, Judge
Grundy was made attorney gen.
erall of the United States-but
his claim to fame is as nothing
when compared to that Of his
wife.

The season is craving tu a

cantaloups and watermelons have
not been up to the average this
year.

Mr.. Waters These two counties

But the higher labor costs he
said has made the net profit less

their last melons to EVANSVILLE

at moderate prices. In anoshe-

for 1921 will have past into his

New York Physician viii Take
Three Experienced Pilots on
Dash to Arctic Regions.
WILL USE ONLY ONE PLANE
Start is to Be Made From Point Bar
rev, Alaska, and After Visit to
North Pole Journey Will Be
Continued to Scandinavia.

Neutrality-suspicious. for an airplane
flight to the north pole and across the.
Arctic zone from Alaska to Norway, to
be attempted in September, were an
nounced by Edwin Fairfax Naulty of
New York, a physician long interested
I'm polar exploration and aviation.
Mr.. Naulty said the plans call for
the use of only one airplane and
party of four, which would include
himself and three experienced pilots,
all ex-service flyers, and that his son,
Leslie Fairfax Naulty, Is going TO Eu-
rope to take care of plans for continu-
alton OF the flight from North Cape
via the Scandinavian capitals, TO Lon
don.
Hop OFF at Point Barrow.
The start of the scientifically impor-
tant part Of the attempt-the trans
polar and trans-Arctic flights to be
made from Point Barrow, Alaska, Mr..
Naulty announced, and the route to
the pole will be. as far as flight condi-
tions permit, along the meridian of
155 west. The distance from Point
Barrow TO the pole Is 1,2OO nautical
miles, and 1t Is the plan that the first
stop will be made half way.
The second stop is TO be made at the
north pole or as near as there Is a
landing. The route will then be to
Spitzbergen, landing west Of Andrae
Point.
From Spitzbergen, the fourth leg Of
the flight calls for a landing at Bear
Island, and thence to North Cape, Nor
way.
Only One Plane to Go.
Mr.. Naulty said that only one plane
would be used.
The complete route will be from
Seattle To Ketchikan, Alaska; Ketchi-
kan to Anchorage. Anchorage to Nome,
Nome TO Point Barrow, and thence
across the polar regions 10 North Cape,
Norway, and thence by taxi flights via
Christiania and Stockholm to- London.
From Point Barrow across the pole
TO SpitZbergen, distance of 500 nau-
tical miles, will be regarded rs the
transpolar flight. From Point Barrow
To North Cape, a distance of 2,4V
miles, will be regarded as the trans
Arctic flight.
Mr.. Naulty said he had been con-
vinced by years of study of data Of
ocean, Ice, and wind currents that land
exists In the form OF an archipelago,
isolated mountain peaks. or low
range of "tailing out" hills, in the re-
gion lying between 120 west and 1876
east and 80 north and the pole.
