Musings For The Evening

Mihiel Mordkin, or Mike as we call
him who know him well, is coming
back to America to leap from crag to
crag in the mountain goat skin. Mike
used to be one of the Russian imperial
court dancers and came over here with
Pavlowa and danced all over our land
scape for several seasons. He was
the one who invented The Dying
Swar," THE Perturbed Porcupine"
and other classic dances, and was quite
the rage for some time. Later he re-
turned to Russia, and is now ballet
master in the Bolshevih Opera House
at Moscow. having ceased being an i'm
perial court dancer about the time the
imperial court was chased toward the
Crimea. Mike was never much afraid
of the Bolsheviki. When he got to-
leaping good, the Bolshevih could
catch him, and SO, being unable to ar
rest and deport him, they decided TO
let him run the opera house dances,
We don't know just what Bolsheviki
skids Mike is going to show US, but
we hope he won't omit that favorite
Russian dance, the Leon Trotzky.

O. VIII you please explain how the
amateur golf championship tourna-
ment is conducted and how it differs
from the open? D. G.
A. In the amateur championship, in
which only amateurs may play, all the
contestants play an 18-hole elimination
or qualification round at medal play.
The 81 players making the lowest
scores in this round are then paired for
match play which proceeds with the
defeated players dropping out after
each match until but two players are
left for the final Sc holes. The win
ner of the finals is the champion and
the man who played with him is the
runnerup. If they are tied at the end
of SO holes they continue to play until
one of them wins a hole. In the open
championship, in which both amateurs
and professionals may contest, elimina-
ton or qualifying rounds are played
to select a stipulated number of contest
ants-usually 64 and ties for the last
place-who then play 72 holes at medal
play. The player who makes the low
est score for the 72 holes wins the
Rh a aTin n Tn 0P
the low score the players in the tie
meet in a play-off at 36 holes. The
winner, if a professional, receives a
cash prize if,an amateur, he receives
a plate the value of the cash prize.
The club to which the winner is attach
ed or belongs also has the custody
for one year of the cup which is emble-
matte of the championship. The es-
sential difference between the amateur
and the open is that the former is
contested at match and the latter at
medal play.
Q. How many passengers will an
escalator carry in an hour? e. D.
A The capacity of an escalator de-
pends upon its speed and the width of
its steps. There are no mechanical
limitations to the rate of speed, but
engineers have found that a speed Of
about 100 feet per minute is most
satisfactory. At this rate of driving
1000 steps per hour arrive at the land
ing, and an escalator five feet in
width, each step of which would read
lily accommodate three people, would
lave maximum capacity of 10000.
Q. How long has Paris green been

They were stocks which are held by
the big investors, the men who make

their stocks on the market they surely
cannot be expecting permanent in

Washington's Wise and Otherwise
Some Study Facts Data Scientifically Others Guess and
Lose Money Heavily

there is no place in the world where
so much information is available con-
corning the economic status not only
of this nation but of the nations of all
the world, as in Washington. This in
formation is available to everyone,
but the men who come to Washington
have it thrust under their very noses,
while those absent must send for it.
The wise ones at Washington study
these data. They can obtain reports
of utmost value from the department
of commerce, the treasury department,
federal reserve board, department OF
agriculture, interstate commission,
federal trade commission and many
other sources. This information is
open to anyone.
A good case in point may be cited.
A year ago reports received and made
public by the department of agricul-
ture showed what the indications
would be for crops of cotton, not only
in this country but in the whole world,
for the coming year. Reports of the
census bureau showed the rate of
American consumption and reports to
the bureau Of foreign and domestic
| commerce showed the of consumption

as well as in all other countries. No
/ single report would mean a great deal.
| But the man who took all these re-
| ports and studied them learned that
! it was as inevitable as the succession
of night and day that the price of cot
| ton would rise. Everyone knows that
! the price of cotton-last fall a dirt
cheap bargain-has risen notably.
The students among the Washing
! ton officials who were able to take adj
| vantage of this information bought cot
| ton last year. They now have made
substantial profits.
| The same is true of the stock mar
! ket. The first group governed by the

it sails. A spark plug and a piston is

or listen as merrily we whiz. The

asks five people each to take one match,
and yet leave one on the plate. When
all have given up attempting to solve
the apparently impossible problem the
performer demonstrates the trick.
Four persons are allowed each to take
a match. The performer announces that
he will be the fifth person. When his
turn comes he calmly picks up the
plate, with the last match on it. Thus
he has taken the fifth match, but there
is still one on the plate.
