JOCKEY CLUB PAYS TAX

The Kentucky Jockey Club has
given up the fight against the city
ordinance of Louisville, taxing its
machines and paid the secretary of
the sinking fund the license tax
agreed on for the operation of pari-
mutuel machines at Churchill
Downs, accepting the city's figures.
Maurice Calvin of Covington,
counsel for the Jockey Club, gave
Lawrence Baldauf, secretary of the
sinking fund, check for about So
500, which covers what the city
claims as the balance due. Mr.. Gal
vim stated that the matter had been
settled amicably and that no hard
feelings resulted.
1t was said by an official of the
Jockey Club that the club will con
tinue to operate with hooded ma
chimes, though not for the purpose
of evading a tax. He said that
with totalizers in plain view it led
many betters to wait around to get
a line on the odds and then make a
rush at the last minute, many often
being cut off by the starting bell.

WHERE IS BOHEMIA?
(Ohio State JOurnaD

(Ohio State JOurnal)
Is there still Bohemia? There
seems to be a good deal of doubt
even among those best qualified to
know. Recently in Paris there was
a little celebration in honor of the
centenary of Henri Murger, author
of 'La Vie de Beheme," the real
father of modern Bohemnianism.
The affair called forth quite bit OF
comment, mostly to the effect that
Bohemia of to-day is conventionally
dressed and romantic attitudes are
no longer appropriate to it's prosaic
coats and unattractive hats" While
another who maintains that there is
still a sort of Bohemia adds: ut is
a Bohemia which no longer seeks tc
triumph over poverty and >truculen'
pride, but the dint of stubborn, ten
acious industry"
We hope that this last opinion is
true. The Bohemia that means
simply pose and careless living we
are all tired of. Attempts to estab-
lish its picturesqueness in America
have failed, as in the sad case OF
Greenwich Village, New York, be-
cause only the exterior symbols, not
the true spirit of Bohemia, was
aimed at. The Bohemia that will
allow us to dwell unashamed in
honest poverty for the sake of honest
work, that we want to rediscover
but it can only be found in the
mind and the heart.

Elremen Pull Out a Rat.

Many funny requests come over the

was sprung recently in M%arblehead,
when the phone rang at the Franklin
street fire station and a hysterical
voice called for the department to
come Immediately to Circle street as q
most peculiar cracking noise had
been heard all night in one of the
rooms.
The fremen rushed into their coats
and boots with q vision of something
doing in the s%moldering fire line. On
arrival no signs Of fire could be dis
covered and the woman, much agi-
tated, showed the men whence the
noises came. Armed with axes and
picks they assaulted the dresser, from
which the noises issued and after a
stubborn struggle managed to subdue
a good sized rat in a drawer Of said
dresser. The woman WIS grateful to

RosARIEs FROM HOLY LAND
Important Bethlehem Industry Is the
Manufacture Of Beads From Ma
terial America Sends.

Ten. to twenty tons Of the pearl
shell waste Of American button fac
tories-broken pieces and butt-ends Of
shells-are shipped monthly to the
Holy land, where, in the village where
Christ was born, the material Is con-
verted into beads and ornamental OBJ
jects. For many centuries the manu-
facture Of such products has been the
only important industry of Bethlehem.
They find a market largely in the
United States. In 1920 there was
shipped from Bethlehem to this coun-
try at least 100000 worth of rosaries,
made Of mother-of-pearl beads, with
silver chains and strung on wire of
the same metal, or "white metal" for
a substitute. For making larger car
ven or other ornamental objects Beth
lehem obtains supplies Of pearl-oyster
shells from the Persian gulf, from In
dia and from Australia. The chains
Of silver and white metal are import
ed from France. Hand labor Is en-
ployed exclusively in the industry, and,
inasmuch as it Is very cheap, the idea
Of using machinery is regarded with
disfavo2.

Electric Steel Smelling.

1t is claimed that an electric induc-
ton furnace which has been under
trial for some time In Sheffield, Eng
land, solves the problem of making
very large steel ingots demanded by
modern machinery, because it is as
easy to make a two-ton ingot In this
furnace as one of 60 pounds in a cruel
BILE. But it is admitted that at pres
ent high-grade steels can be made
by the electric furnace on q CONNER
clally successful scale only in places
where power can be obtained at an
extremely low cost. Laboratory eX-
periments have indicated that a high
class steel can be made by the cleo
trio process from inferior material. but
for commercial purposes this Is not yet
possible.

LEPERs IN HAWAII DECREASE
Superintendent of Colony Declares
Children of Patients Are FREQ
from Disease.

Honolulu, T. H.-The leper settle
ment on the island of Molokai con-
tains fewer patients than at any time
in the last fifty years, according to
J. D. Mcveigh, superintendent of the
colony. The decrease, he said' was
due to the treatments with the chaul-
moogra oil specific evolved by DR.. A.
l.. Dean, president of the University
of Hawaii.
Practically all of the 4s5 patients
at the colony now are taking the Dean
treatment, Mr.. McVeigh stated. In
commenting upon the popular belief
that the children of lepers are at
ficted with the disease, Mr.. McVeigh
said that "both mentally and physical
ly the children of leprous parents
measure up as well, If not better
than those of healthy parents"

VILLAGE is TORN Up
Upheaval in English Community
Like Comic Opera.
Moth-Eaten Fire Department Of Essex,
Eng, Rebels at Efforts Hade to
Modernize it-Firemen Are
All Volunteers.

Harlow, Eng.--This little Essex VII
lage has been for weeks the scene OF
a political upheaval sufficiently comic
to serve as the plot for a Gilbert n
Sullivan opera. The villain is the
chairman of the Parish council, who
has been investigating the village
Sire department" for the purpose OF
reorganization, and the hero, Sam
Deards, o~ctogenarian, captain OF the
fire brigade.
Until recently the village fire fight
ing apparatus was scattered around
in various parts of the parish, a hose
and ladder in one place, another set
somewhere else. while each member
of the volunteer brigade kept his
helmet on his hall hatrack.
This arrangement is being disturbed
by the chairman of the counciL who
is out for the lates. thing in munich
pal administration and wants "cen.
t~ralization." He decided to round up
all the apparatus and put 1t unde
one roof in the Central Fire station
the dignifed name given a small she'd
But Captain Deards very strongly
objected. Under the old regime ne
kept g ladder and length of hose In
his back garden, thus insuring his
prompt attendance at any fire In his
end of the village. The Central Fire
station is a good half-mile from MS
house, and with the burden OF eighty
years on his shoulders he does not
feel like running that distance every
time there is an alarm.
Judging from the evidence Of Cole
man, chairman of the council, Harlow
must be an exciting place when there
is a fire. Not long ago, he says, there
was q fire in the vicarage when 1.-THE
hose was leaking all over the place
and there were serious misgivings as
to whether it would not burst" Again,
at one storehouse where some OF the
fire brigade's appliances were kept,
the councils investigating committee
reported:
"They found the nose out ols oiueA
and before they could open the door
where the apparatus was deposited
they had to get a crowbar."
During the investigation 1t devel-
oped that Harlow has no real ire en-
CINE.
"But there's a good n at Epping,
only six miles away" said a member
of the Parish council. "f, we want
them we just ring them up from the
police station. We have good water
pressure here, so we. seldom need to
pump. If we want more pressure we
telephone the secretary of the local
water company, and he telephones the
works and they turn on the pumps
What happens If the fine is busy or
the secretary is out golfng the coun-
cillor did not say.
The fremen are all volunteers who
are paid a small retaining fee, with
extra for fires, at so much for the nrst
hour and a trife less for each subse-
Quent hour.

WOULD PRESERVE OLD HOUSE
Etforts Being Made to Raise Money to
Buy Dwelling Dating From Sew
enteenth Century.

Some who love good things-and
happily interest in the architecture of
former ages is awakening more
and more-are trying to preserve q
remarkable old peasants dwelling at
Harreveld, a lonely hamlet On the
heather in the province Of Geldsrland.
1t is called los luis, dating from the
Seventeenth century and the last house
of the Saxon. type. Los, in the Geld
rian dialect, mean open, by which it
is indicated that the house consists Of
n only and that there are no
partitions between the places fof hous-
ing and sleeping for men and beasts;
COWS and goats and chickens living
peacefully together with the inmates.
There is no c~himneyplace; the wood
fire burns in q hole in the floor, which
Is Of stone, and the smoke is allowed
to find an outlet as it pleases.
The peasants, man and wife, who
are living here are beset with the ex:
tremely modern, yet most unfortunate
thought of having a wall built between
the stable and the dwelling room, add
ing a chimney and building another
room, by all Of which renovations the
house will be irretrievably spoiled.
The managing committee of the
open-air museum at Anthem are now
trying to get money together in order
to buy the house and have it removed
to their museum park. 1t is much to
be hoped that they will meet with a
prompt success.
