New York, Jan. 23.-This-is q lit
tie tale of New York's great East
Side.
You've all heard shout the melt
ing pot, the milling millions, the
crowded tencments and all that.
But perhaps not 0ne-half enough
has been said Of the erasure Of re-
ligious prcjudices and ill-fceling
through the pavement fraternizing Of
all races and creeds.
Now over on Henry street, in the
heart of the East Side, Uncle AL was
janitor of q building. He had been
ianitor for 26 years. Al Hitler is
his name, hut to every kid that has
grown up in that belt during the
past quarter Of q century he was
"Uncle AL" He was Irish and his
religion Catholic. The kids that
played around the neighborhood
were mostly Russian or Polish Jews.
They are all alike to Uncle Al,
Jews, gentiles, Catholics, pagans. His
PENNIES were for kids, and 80 were
his services at off hours. In summer
you'd find him on the vacant lot. UNI
piring ball game. Or he would be
stopping street brawl and explain
ing to the urchins few Of the laws
Of give and take.
Probably nobody on the East Side
was better loved by the youngsters.
A few days ago the kids missed
him. And there was . hockey game
on, too! Gosh.-a game couldn't 60
on without Uncle Al! A delegation OF
camins ran over ITO the basement
where he tended the furnace. They
found Uncle Al dead upon the floor.
Mass was said in = neighborhood

Only One

Feodor Chaliapin the famous Russian singer, in
Berlin recently and his way to Leipzig, called at
the general delivery window in Berlin and asked
for his mail. The clerk declined, not knowing
Chaliapn, whereupon the latter offered to prove
that he Feodor and none other.
After listening few seconds, the clerk thrust TIL,
letters into the singers hands.
Chaliapin, like many others, has much in common
with the Tommy Tucker of Mother Goose, who used
to sing for his supper. Chalapin sings for all hts
meals, hut it is to be doubted whether he is often
called upon to sing for his mail.

They stood with bowed heads, brush

Ventilation ia the process by which
air in inrloaed spaces is frequently
changed.
At temperature OF SO degrees
Fahrenheit and relative humidity
Of 80 per cent you will begin to feel
uncomfortable. You will not be in
clined to work. The temperature Of
your body is raised and your heart
action Ia quickened. Under higher
te mpe nature, headache, nausea, vom-
iting and pfostration often result.
It is a combination Of heat and
moisture which makes air intoier-
able. A man can stand without dis
comfort : much higher temperature
In winter the heated air OF build
ings Is usually too dry. Many times
the relative humidity IN rooms is
often less than 20 per cent. This
dry air Is drier than the air in .
desert. The relative humidity Of the
driest climate Of this continent is
seldom less than 30 per cent.
When the air entering our dwell
ines from without is heated to IN
even temperature Of 70 degrees
Fahrenheit and when no watery
vapor is added the capacity Of this
air for, absorbing moisture is in
creased to such An extent that it will
absorb from all moist articles.
This dry air will take moisture
from the skin, from the mucous
membranes Of the nose and mouth,
and from the respiratory tract. The
relative humidity Of buildings in win
ter time should be 80 per cent.

Editorial Comment
Deaf, Dumb and Blind
(St. Paul Daily News)

With characteristic arrogance the parole hoard
persists in its policy of protecting the gunman
rather than the pubic.
At meeting Tuesday 1t refused to change the
rules which resulted recently in the murder Of a
Minneapolis policeman. Moreover it arbitrarily
denied the requests Of newspapers for statement
or explanation.
So citizens continue to anticipate reign Of
terror by criminals who realizing that in case Of
arrest they will quickly be paroled will 60 right
on numbering, robbing banks. attacking women and
making the streets unsafe for the law-abiding.
The truth of this is brought out by letter from
a saltwater convict which came to light today.
This prisoner, Archie Andrew was sentenced to
saltwater for life after admitting holding up bank
officials at Pine City with gun and planning eigh:
other robberies.
In letter to friend outside of prison he gave
the attitude OF the typical criminal Here is what
he wrote:
I'VE got life sentence, but thanks to a
good past record, ask for parole in
10 months, and II granted, get out in Is
months. / will be good in the big house
and come out 100 per cent"

The Last Straw.

The sight of Nicky brought back
the events of last night SO yiTidly that
4 wave Of nausea swept over Rosalind.
She went white 10 the lips. and Allen,
his eyes on hcr face turned his head
just as Nicky came UP 70 the table
Allen rose TO his feet. but NiCky ig-

Rosalind
Rose. / have sometime to say to
you" he said thickly,
I'm sorry. NiCky. but that is i'm
possible now. Rosalind returned
evenly. The color had returned TO her
face. her head was held high. She
was no longer afraid because she was
remembering the things NIcky had
said to her last night: she was remem-
beriRg the insults he had heaped upon
her, and the feeling uppermost in her
was d cold scorn.
She did not stop 10 thinI. that 70
antagoniZe NiCky might make him
ugly; il did not occur 10 her that there
might be scene. She met his eyes
full. and before their clear Wilderness
mis- own wavered. But it was only for
moment. The next he had fixed his
glance on Allen and was renarking
sneeringly:
Il see. You have some one else
after you now and you can afford to
give me the cold shoulder.
Rosalind felt the hot color flame into
her checks. there was a blur before
her eyes. To be Inundated like this
before Allen Norris was the last straw
She longed for the floor To open and
suddenly engulf her; she was sick with
shame.

Clues to Character
BY J. q. ABERNETHY.
Noted for Firmness.

Nature has an uncanny way of
harmonizing all things, not only in
plant and animal life. but in that of
man. There is the kind Of face that
depicts firmness.
Have YOU observed the striking
difference in the form and outline of
faceso Some are round, some thin
and lean. while others are oblong
It is this oblong face to which we
have reference in this article. We
generally. but not always, find that
dark complexion, dark eyes and hair
are noted for firmness. The posses
sors are naturally vigorous, active.
energetic, and possess strongly
marked characters, all the organs i'm
parting strength and endurance.
They have great capacity for both
perception and conception, and are
sometimes carried away by their
vivid imagination and passions. How
ever, YOU will find the oblong faces
always firm self-reliant. tenacious in
whatever they undertake, and CON
slant in love and friendship. They
are natural leaders in active life
men of the field rather than of the
office and counter.
Their ends are attained by energy
and perseverance rather than by
schemng and forethought. They
are powerful speakers, use strong ex-
pressions and not only feel and think,
but they actu
