TUNING UP FOR NEXT YEAR.

With the regular semi-monthly concert and
business meeting last Tuesday night the 192O-1921
season of the Fortnightly Music club came to a
close.
The club can look back to a half-year of no.
table achievements. First there the joint con
cert series with the American Legion including
Reed Miller, Nevada Van Der Veer, Marie Rap
pod, the Montague Light Opera Singers, and Ar
thur Middleton Then the remarkable con-
cert the Presbyterian church for the benefit of
the starving children of eastern and central Eu-
rope; then the Meehan recital and finally the
deliberately costumed and artistically staged pro-
duction of THE Bohemian Girl"
These were the outstanding public perform
Besides, there the regular meetings
twice a month at which though in less specacu-
lar way, local music-lovers had opportunity Of
producing and of hearing artistic work in melody
and in harmony
The Fortnlghly Music club occupies unique
place in Abuquerques community life. There is
organization that even pretends to cover the
Fortnightlys field. There is no club, far
know, that devotes all its efforts to promoting the
love OF good music in the hearts of the people
of the Duke City. Other organizations may do this
incidentally by occasionally putting on worthy
productions but the Fornightly is the only group
that does this exclusively.
For this reason, the welfare and continued
growth of the club is to Albuquerque's heart.
SO far, the Fortnightly has pursued its way
ly. ana unhampered. Its members nave reailZeu
that the success an association of this kind is
possible only by means of unwavering esprit de
corps-an esprit" by which each unit is ready to
efface himself or herself for the good of the
whole; is ready, in word, to subordinate his own
ambitions aspirations for the sake of the cause,
which Is bigger than any member any
group of members.
1t Is to be hoped that this admirable spirit will
continue. Any who understands anything at
all about the hgh-strung artistic temperament
will recognize the danger of friction from within,
sional field have had to grapple with this prob
lem; therefore it behooves us music-lovcrs of
Albuquerque to beware it.
We feel that musicians big
enough and broad enough to rise above such
temptations: but the danger is there while human
nature Is it is, and merely pointing it
out in a friendly way.
So let us all get to work planning to make
the next season bigger success than ever
before. w. 2, Mcdowell. the outgoing president

ONE MAN AGAINST THE WORLD.

Al Bscardo a convict in the Wyoming peni-
Tertiary, had a great idea.
Or, rather, he thought he had.
He asked to have the prison physician sent to
his cell pretending that he ILL., When the
warden came with the doctor and attendant,
Blscardo held them up with gun and took the
physician and the attendant with him as hostages.
making it clear to the warden that if pursuit was
started before the convict had ridden three blocks
the two men would be shot
So far everything worked smoothly. BisCardO
rode off in the doctors automobile, the owner and
the attendant in the front seat acting as chauf-
feurs while the convict sat behind them with his
revovers pointed at their spinal columns
The warden played the game according to the
rules, and waited until the automobile carrying
the convict had passed the prescribed three blocks
Then the chase began Sixteen miles from the
pcnitentiary, the first forced to stop be-
cause Of engine trouble. The escaping prisoner
jumped out of the automobile, and hid in the
brush the roadside.
When the warden's machine came up, a shot
heard.
Biscardo had killed himself to escape being re-
captured alive.

MORE FOOLISH THAN THE BEASTS.

Instances of hair tonic and jamaica ginger be
ing used a substitute for the now forbidden
whisky were again brought to light Monday at
hearing the Folstead bill to make prohibition
enforcement stringent
Among the questions brought up was the
quantity of lemon extract man could drink and
still live The head of a flavoring extract asso-
citation declared that no man had been able to
drink enough of the extract to make him drunk
and still live.
Chairman Vostead Clipped in with the contri-
button that he had seen "droves of jamaica ginger
drinking fiends."
SO far as is known, no lower animal will per-
sist in taking substance into its system that it
learns from experience is harmful to it,
Yet a specimen Of the genus homo-the high
est type of created life-will deliberately drink
poison so strong that in order to get it down he
has to line his mouth and throat with talcum
powder!
Truly, on reading such tales, one has to ex-
claim with Cassie:
."Oh, that men should put enemy into their
mouths, to steal away their brains"

AMERICAN WASTE.

In address in the senate. Senator Knox was
urging special protective tariff to safeguard the
dye industries which America established during
the Probably without intent, he showed that
one of the chief faults not the lack of a
tariff but the presence of waste in American in
dustria life.
In Germany he pointed out, they do not burn
coal; they roast it. They make coke fuel and
they utilize every by-product. There is in
Germany single beehive burning coke and
letting the gases and smoke escape. Here not more
than half our coke is from the by-product oven
used extensively in Germany.
The senator claimed that the waste from the
American methods totaled almost billion dollars
year. The loss in Pennsylvania alone was set at
s329 900 900.
From a ton of soft coal you get 10 900 cubic
feet Of gas; liquor (washings) ammonium sulphate.

saying, and he was just about to
so on to Grandpa Goosey's with
the pepper hash when, all of a
sudden, a harsh voice cried:

Run away now, Uncle Wiggily.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
SALES TAX PROSPECTS.
(From the New York Times. }

(From the New York Times.)
The sales tax has many merits, but no element
Of strength greater than the defects of the taxes
which congress preferred to pass when it had Il
free hand. Government costs remain on a war
scale after two years of peace and the excess pro-
fits and income surtaXes have few defend
ers Those two taxes must go, whatever takes their
place, and something must take their place until it
becomes practicable to reduce government eX-
penses Those who passed the obnoxious taxes
the chief critics of the sales tax. They rein
force their sCanty numbers by summoning to their
help those who do not feel the taxes which they
think the rich pay, and who wrongly fancy that
the sales tax will fall the poor rather than the
rich. The American who thinks he ought to go
untaXed is not desirable citizen, and it is
desirable that all, rich poor, should know what
taxes they pay. The rich may be trusted to find
out, and the poor should have the information put
in their way that their ignorance shall not
make them defenders of injurious taxation
They think that the sales tax will fall on them.
and do not see how the two worst of the war taxes
burden them more than the sales tax, they
imagine it. put out of work by depression
directly in month than any tax bill would take
from him in year. The profits tax is consump-
ton tax in disguise. and nobody who consumes
anything escapes it. These indirect taxes do not
enrich the treasury in the proportion that they
burden those who suffer through them. The sales
tax Will enrich the treasury without causing in
direct losses. Buyers and sellers will both know
where they stand in the matter of tax payment.
Popular objection to the sales tax mostly
from farmers and retailers Neither have just claim
to exemption from taxation, and both would add
the tax they collected for the treasury what they
collect from the consumers. -...-.

CHICAGO BOARD or TRADE,

Chicago, May 18.-Decided up
turns in wheat prices resulted to.
day from unfavorable crop reports
and from moro active export de-
mand The market closed strong
&c to 3Hc net higher with May
I$1.4Sh to S1.48% and July $1.1S 4
! to $1.1SH. Corn gained 1-Sc to lie
oats e to Y and provisions &c
to SIC.
1t was only at the start that
wheat showed any tendency to-
ward setback. Forecasts of low
er railroad wages counted at first
as a bearish influence, the prevail
ing opinion being that the wage
cut might be taken to indicate
downward movement costs in gem
eral. Offerings of wheat. however,
were quickly absorbed, and the
market then moved upward fast,
impelled largely by adviccs that
the crop in Nebraska and the south
west was in a somewhat precariOuS
position with much depending on
next weeks weather. In addition
about one million bushels Of cash
grain were said to have been taken
for export, with some foreign bust
ness in the new crop said also to
have been put through. Closing
quotations were at the topmost
level of the day.
Active shipping demand for corn
helped to lift the market for corn
and oats. Country offerings OF
corn were somewhat larger but
mostly above the market, ProVi-
sions went higher in sympathy with
grain and hogs.
