But, when he's a little grouchy,
the corners of his mouth turn down
and he grumbles about the world
in general. But, really, he doesn't
mean it. He thinks the world is
swell and he's one of those fell
lows who always will think this
universe of ours is a swell place in
which to be. Seventeen years he's
served. He's the worlds most per-
feet pest about typographical
errors-eSpecially if they're on his
sports pages. He calls bad errors

the louder the roar.
And there's story connected
with that.
MEMBERS of The Times staff
Iva are convinced that Eddie
Ash is the most inherently mod
est man in the world. He won't
talk about himself, his achieve
ments, and he won't boast
But of one thing he's proud. He
puffs up like little rooster when
he starts talking about his "aS-
SiStantS"- men he's trained.
He's proud of the men he's
trained and he likes to point out
almost like a proud father
that every one of the men he has
had under his wing has turned
out we'll, or, at least, they've
moved up the line.
And a funny thing about the
whole scheme is that they think
he's the SWEETEST fellow who ever
lived-even they do mutter under
their breaths about an "old LADY,
when he starts believing about
typographical errors and the alb
solute necessity of getting every
thing into his sports pages that's
happening in the world of sports.
He's stickler for accuracy.

Alexander, who's been making up
Eddie's pages for years and years,

lust as the repeal program finally acknowledged
- that the citizens would drink an idea which
would have been repugnant to the statemen a few
years ago, it also could be admitted now that the
people will and do gamble in many ways
Under prohibition they drank inferior goods pur-
veyed by parties of low moral character and on the
whole, got the worst of it from the law and the
bootlegger In the same way they find themselves
yictimzed by operators of games of chance who also
must be regarded low characters until such time
as they, like the bootleggerS, receive the cleansing
sanction of the law.
The seasonal gambling and the more or
less permanent horse parlors, which form a chain
across and around the country, always have given
the customers much less than a dollars worth of
action for dollar for two important reasons. The
drst is the graft which the government might well
receive for itself and the second is the deporable
larcenous tendency of the private operator
1t is my suggestion, however, that under the
management of the internal revenue department the
larceny would be reduced to minimum and that
the column Of business would enjoy an immense
growth what with government parlors operating at
convenient points, preferably in the poStoffice and
federal courthouses.

Marbles Aid Light Bulb

When toy manufacturers found
demand for lighted toys, such as pock-
ct flashlights. miniature automobiles
and motorboats, lamps for such pur-
poses were unsatisfactory. They gave
light, but lacked adequate control.
What was needed most, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, was a tiny lamp
that would emit a powerful spot of
light, resist breaking and operate from
a single dry cell small enough to be
installed in the toy. Marvin Pitkin,
Nela Park scientist, got an inspiration
from watching boys play marbles.
Some of the marbles were clear-glass
"aggies." After little study an or
der was placed and quantity Of ag-
gies soon arrived. When attached to
the stem tubing these aggies provided
just the light spot" required.

u EALTY and personal property
{ IN taxes, for state purposes, have
been abolished by the state govern
ment of Illinois. The step was taken
after state officials decided a per
cent tax on retail sales, with perhaps
some help from liquor taxation, would
be adequate to replace the 10000
600 levied annually in recent years on
general property.
This action is notable as the first
complete substitution of sales tax
for property taxes any state has
made. It will result in saving rang
ing from z to 10 per cent to property
owners. Gov. Henry Horner, State
Treasurer J. C. Martin and State Audi
tor Edward j. Barrett comprise the
board that abolished the tax.

The dates to keep in mind are
March 1913, when the American
Legion puts on its annual minstrel
here in the Twin City opera house.
Those who are in the troupe have
been meeting for some time, and
going over their parts-musical
numbers, ETC., and everything will
be in first class shape. Everybody
likes a good minstrel, and since
this is to be an ''extra" good one,
you will like it extra well. Pat
White is directing the choruses;
good end men have been selected,
and the attraction will be up to
the usual high standard of the
American Legion minstrels. Re-
