SHAMING THE DEVIL.

It is said that the devil always claims his own. But there are times, we fear, when even the devil would hesitate to claim certain undesirable specimens of humanity masquerading in the guise of fair womanhood. Out at Port Sheridan, HI., are a large number of maimed and broken heroes who fought in the world war and came home nothing but battered wrecks. Some have no lfegs, or no arms, and others have neither legs nor arms. About twenty-five of these heroic but helpless men were invited recently to attend a musical in Chi r cage which was largely attended by the women of high society. Some of these women> protested against the presence of the crippled soldiers who had given their all for their country, on the- ground that the iodoform with which their wounds were dressed was distasteful to aesthetic sense of smell. They even went so far as to write letters of protest to the lady who gave the musical and invited the soldiers. Did the devil smile T He did not! He hung his head in shame —for even he, .in all of his diabolical baseness and debauchery, had not sunk so low as that. There wfll be a-dance given by the Odd Fellows in the Woodmen's hall in the I. O. O. F. buildirig on New Year's eve. Music by Healey's orchestra. All Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are cordially invited.

CARYL PICKS ON OUR JIMMY IN HER DAILY SKETCH.

Caryl Frink, the little girl reporter of the Herald-Examiner, who writes feature articles daily, in her article today deals with Jimmy Hanley, song -writer and Rensselaer’'hoy, a nephew of C. W. Hanley. See what Caryl has to say about our Jimmy: 2 \‘fYadum, de dumdum, yadum de dumdum. It'll never be dry in Havana, no matter what happens round here, yadum de dumdum—” “It's our new son,” said Mr. Billy Stoneham, manager of a loop music publishing company, as the strains of the best seller interrupted our conversation. “Great number, hey?” “It sounds—well, timely, anyhow,” I said. “Timely? Say, listen ” “One drink will make a rabbit chase a bulldog up the street. Oh, it will never be dry in Havana-an-ah, no matter what happens round here.” “How do they think ’em up?” I asked, wonderingly. “Think ’em up? Say, song writin’ comes to those fellows like breathin’ water comes to a fish. Take young Jimmy Hanley, now. He’s playing the piano in a cabaret, see? He sits down .to the piano one day and spiels off ‘The Hooligans Are Hooli, Hooli Mad.’ Doepn’t mean anything, see? But he fits it up with a snappy tune, and it goes over. He’s made a song hit. “Well, he writes another one? Snappier than the first. He follows with ‘Mammy Mine’ and a few like that. Now look at him! Writin’ music for plays, and official state songs, and stuff like that. He’s in there now,” indicating a glass door with his gold pencil, “probably writing a great hit Wanta watch him?” I said that I did, so Billy Stoneham led me into a boxlike room where the boy wonder was breathing popular melody between puffs of a cigaret. Jimmie let his fingers rest on the keys of the piano while he greeted us, and then went on with the next bar. Beside him on the piano bench a long-haired man was interpreting Jimmie’s flight in notes which he penciled on lined paper. “That’s Mr. Burrel Van Buren,” Billy told me. “He’s the arranger. When Jimmie gets an idea, he calls Burrel in to take it down in notes.” “And is that all Mr. Van Buren does?” I asked, wondering about his long hair. ' “Oh, no, Burrel’s a composer himself, aren’t you Burrel?” “I’ll say I am,” spoke up the arranger, modestly. “I’ve written four tunes already this morning, and—” he added carelessly—“l didn’t get up till noon.” “All right,” broke in the demon song writer, letting go a crash of chords. “Chorus.” The chorus went much quicker than the verse and in fourteen minutes by my Christmas wrist watch the song was finish'ed. Jimmie lit a new cigaret and sighed. “Now it might be three hours before I think of another one,” he said, pushing back his glossy pompadour with the palm of his hand. “They don’t always come so easy.” “Don’t you ever lose any of ’em before you can get hold of Burrel?” I asked Jimmie.

“Sure,” said the song writer. “I’ve lost many a tune. But I always figure that if they get away from me they aren’t much good anyhow. But it isn’t the ones I lose that worry me. It’s the spngs I’ve got put away in my bean till the market’s ready for ’em.” “I didn’t know there was a music market,” I said. “Ho, I’ll say there is, eh, Van?” Jimmie ran his fingers from the far east to the far west of the keyboard. “Lis’n to this,” he said. He played and sang a very convincing little song about “Why should he long for Dixie, when the sweetest girl from Dixie lived next door.” / “Now, you see?” he said, wheeling around from the piano when he had finished. “If I took that to a publisher, you. know what they’d say?” . "No, what?” I asked. “Why, they’d tell me to change it to. ‘Nobody knows how to shimmy like the little girl, from Dixie next” door.’ You see? It’s shimmy songs now. A while ago it was ‘Oui, oui’ songs about the ‘Mam’sejles,’ -and before that there was a style in butterfly songs. If your song isn’t in style, you’ve just got to file it away and watch the market. Isn’t that so, Billy?” “Sure it is,” agreed Billy. “Right now what we want is what you might call alcoholic songs. Take our pew song hit for instance. How you goin’ to beat this one, huh?” Billy Stoneham edged Billy off the piano bench, let his hands fall with deadly aim to the piano keyboard, threw back his head, cast his eyes to the ceiling and ren-' dered, with paternal pride in, his voice: “Yadum de dum, \yadum de dumdum, it’ll never be dry in Ha-van-an-ah, no matter what happens here—yadum de dum, yadum de, dumdum- ”

TIME TO AGAIN FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 26.—1 n filing their income tax returns for 1919, the taxpayers he given the aid and advice of thousands of employes of the bureau of internal revenue, trained in the intricacies of the internal revenue laws and regulations by correspondence school methods. There has been established by the bureau a “correspondence-study department,” through which is being issued to 3,000 field deputies and as many office deputies .and clerks, courses of instruction in the income and miscellaneous tax sections of the law. Each written lecture contains a careful discussion of the topic involved, such as personal exemptions, depreciation, bad debts, losses, gross and net income, etc. Attached is a quis to be answered by the pupils and returned to Jthe correspondence-study department at Washington, where it is carefully graded. Corrections of errors are sent with the next lecture on the same subject.

Mrs. Charles Bibos went to Indianapolis today for a visit with relatives. ', ✓ . We make them look Bke new at the North Side Garage and Paint Shop. Beat materials used.

The course is not confined to questions of law. “Ethics” is the subject of one of the lectures. The bureau’s representatives are advised to be careful of their personal appearance, to be at all time and under all circumstances, courteous, and “not to -forget to inform the taxpayer of all his rights.” “Whether your intelViewfer be rich or poor, you should be thoughtful to give the same care and attention to both,” the instructions say. “The man who pays a small tax is entitled to as much respect as the man who pays a large tax.” Revenue officers will be sent into every county in the United States to assist the taxpayers in. making out their returns. The date; of their arrival an d the location of their offices will be announced through the press later.
