In tue current number of Good Housekeeping find article, whose headline sure some people believe actionable in that it attracts interest, creates excitement and leads o the sumption of the time of the reader by false tenses It is "Substifute whisky"
 There people though who will not be fooled by this misleading headline They know there aint such animal; that there be substitute for whisky Those people belong to that school of thought which had is origin in Kentucky though it became quite well represented at Peoria Illinois which held and still holds that there is whisky; only. whisky is better than other.
 as for substitutes. there be There which produce the effects of whisky by shorter routes But they are not whisky. Until proper nomenclature and classification agreed upon they fall under the general head of "hooch."
 These people will admit that there pretended limitations whisky just there limitations of diamonds and godliness. but there be substi- tutions for either.
 But reading the Good Housekeeping article closely we find it relates the of whisky as a medicine employed in pneumonia and not exhilarating beverage The author is Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, n authority who says among other things that there is really substitute for whisky medicine because it is medicine, that the offense if any is in the headline:

 No doubt after brief experience with poverty to which he has long been foreign he will elect rs return America, do his bit at Leavenworth in 4ieu cf the bit he evaded draftee Then on his dsscharge he may claim and will probably receive has property and go back to his beloved Germany. Certainly the United States will be small place eor him so long he bears the name of Bergdol
 The plight of his mother from which he alone extricate her by his return might in itself awaken filial sentiment in him that would bring 1aza back But very much doubt whether Berg aoa would be moved. 1t is most too much to be expected by a woman who did raise her boy soldier
 We think though the lure of his gold will draw Bergdoll back to his deserved punishment.

MUSIC FOR HE MANY

pany has proved to be one of its in teresting and surprising features. The Jealousies and temperamental out bursts of professional opera are pro verbal. Singers wait years for an opportunity to sing certain promised roles, and the tension. Is necessarily high. But community opera is more of a family affair.
 When Marguerite Sylvia alternated with Clelia Fioravanti, Washington singer, in a performance of Carmen, Madame Sylvia gave up her dress re- hearsal so that the girl who was to make her debut that night might have the extra practice. Madame Syl- va attended the rehearsal. however and made few suggestions to the young singer and offered to lend her own Spanish shawl to the rival Car men This interest in another singer by a professional was decidedly un- usual but it seemed altogether ap- propriate in company where every member was working for the success of a performance before personal achievement.
 Having companies such as this one linked together in an organization would give encouragement to towns without opera companies to organ ize them. The organization could help them with advice and informa- ton and what is a very importan advantage, scenery, costumes anc singers could be exchanged. If on, company has gone to the trouble to collect properties and costumes fol Pagliacci, there is no reason wh, another town planning to give tn, same opera should duplicate rhe work And if a singer of one company i: unusually successful in the role O Aida another company might prof itably borrow her for performance either to save training one of its owr members or to have the visitor alter. nate with it's own Aida.

NY. TUNNEL COMMISSION
REFUSES HAGUE,S PLEA
Says Street Widening Is Not
Part of Its Duties.

The Now York State Bridge and Tun-

public meeting in the Hall OF Records
To give its consent TO proposals SUBJ
mitted by Mayor Frank Hague OF Jer-
sey City regarding the widening OF
streets III the vicinity Of the entrance
and exit to the proposed vehicular tun-
mel under the Hudson River.
The attitude Of the New York Com
m. ssioners was expressed in state
rnent read by Gen. George r. Dyer,
chairman OF the New York body. who
said: The widening of streets or arter-
les OF traffic as such is not q proper
part Of the dulles OF our commission"
T. Aibeus Adams. chairman Of the
New Jersey Commission, read into the
record reply In which, after explain
ing the steps taken In the Jersey City
street widening matter. he said:
'oThe maximum efficiency OF the We
hicular tunnel and the amount OF In
come TO be derived from tolls are Inn
tied by the capacity OF the tunnel ap-
proaches or exits which are least ade-
quate. The tunnel provides for two lines
o. traffic in each direction. and unlese
two lines of traffic can obtain FREQ &C.
cess to end from the tunnel the capacity
OF the tunnel will not be used and the
revenue from tolls will be greatly re-
duced below the estimate and will not
be sufficient TO meet the interest on the
bond and amortization charxea"
The matter was left open until the
next meeting.
