What the Artist PAYS

Jascha Heifetz. attaining his 30th birthday recently,
remarked that he hoped his small daughter would not
become a famous violinist.
IT'S too hard a life" he explained.
Here, apparently, we have one Of those little slips that
a great artist occasionally makes; . chance remark that
lets US peer behind the veil and sec what being . Hell
fetz, q Caruso or a Cezanne Is really like. We feel that
these men are to be envied, and 20 indeed they are; yet
now and then one or another Of them gives the show
away by admitting that reaching the summit Of an art
does>not always give the happiness It Is supposed to.
Consider Heifetz,s own case. At three he began study
ing the violin. At five he gained considerable local
renown. Before he had reached his teens he was IA
nous; and ever since he has been a world celebrity
honored by music lovers from Moscow to San Francisco.
In Ill of this time he has not let q day go by without
practicing. generally for many hours.
Remembering that he became q serious student OF the
violin at an age when the ordinary child has not even
been taught its A b Cs, it is not difficult to see why ne
feels that it has been too hard . life. Childhood general
~ Is not quite such a happy time as grownups pretend;
nevertheless, it has a carefree, irresponsible aura that
clinrs over it throughout a lifetime, and makes 1t an

none Of that is true. There was nothing but hard work,
and lots Of it. p

Plain COURTESY Would Help

One gets a new view of the automobile accident prob
lem from a book analysing Statistics for 1880, prepared
by a leading accident insurance company.
The book, or rather the pamphlet Of 4s typewriter
pages, contains numerous graphs which picture the man
nr in which everyone in America seems to be heading
toward death beneath the wheels Of q modern jugger-
maui.
The motor accident toll for 1880 stands at $500 per-
sons killed and 100000 injured. For the last IS years
the death toll is $4,000. The number Of automobile &C
cidents Is listed at s35, $50 for the last calendar year.
Dissecting the types of accidents causing death, We
find that 459 per cent of the toll is caused by collisions
with pedestrians; 20.7 by collisions with other automo-
biles; IL per cent by collisions with fixed objects and the
remainder by varying causes. i,
OF the accidents which cause injuries only. however
Ae.2 per cent are collisions with other automobiles; 33.3
per cent are collisions with pedestrians: only SIS per cent
are from collisions with fixed objects and the remainder
are from miscellaneous causes. ".
The moral of these figures, 1t would seem, 10 that it u
better to be an autost than a pedestrian If one wants
to live a long time because Of the fact that one collision
usually is enough to send the pedestrian to the under
taker. whereas the autoist can participate In several
mishaps before the grim reaper catches up With him.
In cases where drivers of motor CARS were responsible
for accidents, 3O8 per cent did not have the right of
way; 21A per cent were exceeding the speed limit; 16l
per cent were on the wrong side Of the road; las per cent
drove Oft the roadway: 73 per cent failed to signal and
IL per cent cut in ahead of other drivers.
In cases where pedestrians we're held to be the cause
Of accidents, 322 per cent were crossing streets; 249
per cent were crossing between intersections: 201 per
cent were children playing in the streets: II per cent
were cases where persons came into the street from
behind parked cars and the remaining causes were
listed as miscellaneous.
Another fact developed by the study Is that nearly
twice as many accidents occur between street inter-
sections as at the intersections proper.
OF the persons killed by automobiles, So per cent were
under four years old; 1874 per cent from five to IA years;
$40 per cent from Is to 81 years and 226 per cent were
IS years or over.
Any number of deductions may be made from the data
presented but those obtained from the study OF how
drivers caused accidents may be most significant. They
prove that some drivers, in addition to being dangerous.
are not very courteous.
When men fail to signal, drive where they have no
right Of way and cut in ahead Of other motor cars they
are ignoring the rules Of common courtesy.
Motor vehicle deaths are a modern problem but good,
old-fashioned courtesy might 90 a long way toward .
remedy at that.

@. Please give some information

Z A. Robert Richard Randall was
the founder of Snug Harbor. Randall
was a e captain who retired from
the sea in the late 18th century and
settled down on a large harm on the
edge of which is now Greenwich VIII
lage. When he died he left his prop
erty to Al institution known as Sail
ors' Snug Harbor Home for ancient
and decrepit seamen. Ills relatives
did all they could to break the will,
but in 1881, over thirty years after
the captains death, the Supreme
Court upheld the -bequest. In the
meantime the city of New York had
9rOwn SO enormously that the truS-
tees decided it would be better to
lease the land contained in the Ran
dali farm and locate the seamen's
home on Staten Island. At the time
of the captains death or prior. his
farm brought in an annual income OF
about $4,000; at the time the trustees
made the change it was yielding $40,-
600. Today 1t Is estimated that the
annual earnings of the property are
about $4,000 0

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Outstanding Ears

Outstanding Ears
Question: "A. r. l.. asks: no
can I rain my sons ears to lie closer
to his head? He is Is years old"
Answer: You should have begun
to train your sons ears to lie closer
to the head when he was younger.
At this age the cartilage OF the +
is well formed and not so easily
trained. Holding the ears back all
night long with adhesive tape is
probably one of the best remedies.
With older persons plastic surgery Is
sometimes resorted to.
Bananas Are Starchy
Question: B. B. asks: us it or Is
it not healthy to eat three bananas
q day?"
Answer: Bananas are a starchy
food and should be used as such. In
some diseases they should not be
used. For the average person three
bananas would fill all the carbohy-
drate requirements of the body for
one day. They are most easily d.
gested when baked.
What Causes Calcium Deposits?
Question: E. j. asks: What is
the best way to prevent the deposit
Of calcium in the tissues of he body?
Is there a certain diet to prevent this?
Is it best to keep away from foods
that contain calcium? Are osteo-
pathic treatments helpful by increas-
ing the blood supply through the
body2"
Answer: Deposits of calcium IN
the tissues are not due to an excess OF
calcium in the food. Deposits are
usually due to a certain type OF aci-
dosis, and are simply to protect the
body against the irritation. The best
plan is to increase the alkalinity of
the body by using plenty of alkaline
forming foods, especially the foods
containing sodium and potassium.
Osteopathic treatments are very help
full in increasing the circulation.

A.-T1ey do not explode, but are
subject to frost cracks. At times the

contract, in other words it will be-
come frozen. If the sun comes out
and shines brightly on n portion Of
the tree and the rest of the tree is
unable to take up the expansion, the
result Is q crack. Sometimes this
cracking makes itself heard. This

He stated that he hoped the present congress which has a democratic majority will first insist that something immediately be done to relieve the distress of the country and to revise the tariff, which are the more paramount questions at the present time and not be amoufiaged by the prohi- bition cry which is being used by the party in power as a smoke screen. Judge Gormley was round- ly applauded at the conclusion of his talk. Several of the speakers on the program lauded Judge Gormley for the great campaign which he waged in 1880, among them being William A.

"Oh-hh! Turn me loose! Milford, stop! Stopl I did not call you here for thisl"
 'Then playing with fire is dan- gerous, my dear. Ahi-" and just as the william leans over the swoon- ing heroine, hurried steps sound outside and-but can tell you no more. The scene described above is but one of the tense moments in the rehearsal for "Jazz and Min uet," the St Johns Young Peoples Fellowship play, which appears behind the footlights at S:15 to- morrow night at the church par ish house.
 In spite of a colonial scene the play is quite modern, telling how a young maiden of the "Jazz Age'' profits by the experience set forth in the diary of g "Minuet Age" girl. In contrast with the modern setting is the scene exhibited of Colonial days which presents all kinds of action, varying from the rhythm of
