JAZZ is popular because they can play the same piece over and over and you won’t recognize It. , SEVERAL million Russians are homeless and several million Americans couldn’t be home less. AN AGENCY has found that married men make the best collectors. They know all the excuses. THAT Zimmerman murder had all the necessary ingredients white mule, an automobile and former chorus girls. JUST WHEN the city government seemingly gets in earnest about economy, it creates a $4,000 job and has a man readj for it. MAYOR SHANK is going to save a negro city hall employe’s job at the solicitation of former Mayor Jewett. That proves they are friends again. THE DEPARTMENT of Agriculture believes Indiana is constructing highways with trench shovels, two-wheeled ammunition dump carts, bicycles and observation balloon cranes. Daylight Saving Dies Hard Since the war there has been a manifest unwillingness to abandon the possibilities of the daylight saving plan, but no universally satisfactory way of handling the matter has yet unfolded. The first method suggested to accomplish this —that of turning the clock ahead an hour —was not used in all cities and had a tendency to confuse the traveling public. However, tb" business and civic organizations of Washington, D. 0., were not discouraged. They asked President Harding to put into effect an order to experiment In daylight saving without changing the clock, and the President ordered the Government forces to report for work at 8 o'clock instead of 9 in the morning and asked that all business and civic organizations also start operating an hour earlier and have an earlier closing hour. But alas! The scheme failed, and we are compelled to admit that habit is a powerful force. Heads of Government departments reported that while they get to their desk an hour earlier in the morning they have been unable to leave any sooner than before. Parents complained because, while they have been sending their children to school at 8 Instead of 9 o’clock in the morning they hare been unable to put them to bed an hour earlier at night, with the result that the children lose an hour’s sleep each day. Household and business affairs have been seriously affected, as all business houses and places of amusement have not complied with'the order, because It seemed against their ! nterests to do so. Consequently. President Harding has indicated a willingness to revoke the daylight saving order if the business and civic organizations, which asked for it originally, petition him to revert to the old hours. This probably will be the death knell for the daylight saving idea all over the country. It mast be admitted that whoever conceived of the old regime must have been a marvelously wise person, since any deviation from the general rule seems to fail in some way.

The Superintendent 9 s Powers It the board of school commissioners is attempting to strip tfle superintendent, E. U. Graff, of the authority conferred upon him by law to appoint the teaching force then it should be promptly checKee. The statutes provide that “the superintendent of schools snail have the power to appoint and discharge all principals, supervisors, assistants and teachers authorized by the board subject to the limitations of this act stated and shall report to the board annually and oftener if required as to all matters under his supervision; provided, that the board of johool commissioners shall approve of the appointment of assistants, principals, supervisors and teachers, unless four of suen members disapprove of the same.” It is plainly the intent of the law to accord the appointing power to the superintendent, but the board is given ample authority to check what at times might become a misused prerogative. There Is nothing in the law that would empower the board to name the teachers over tne wishes of Mr. Graff. The charge was made at the school board yesterday by such men as Brandt C. Downey and Robert X. Fulton that there was a move on foot to usurp the superintendent’s powers. Charles L. Barry, president of the board, resented this implication and hotly denied it, but the calling of hurried meetings to dispose of fifteen departmental heads —which led to the charges—has lent credence to tho accusations and they only can be dissipated or confirmed by the future relations between the board and the superintendent.

How Senatorial Time Flies Only thirty-five of the 428 pages of the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill have been discussed in the month this important measure has been ncfore the Senate. Already 1.492,000 words, occupying 746 pages of the Congressional Record, have been expended in oratorical gates and the bill is little nearer solution than it was when it first appeared in the upper House. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who is leading in a movement to invoke a cloture rule that will permit the Senate to attend to the Government’s business in a more expeditious manner pred‘"ts that at the p.-esent rate the tariff bill will be under debate for the next rour or nve months. It required the Senate less than seven weeks to pass the Underwood measure and the Pr.yne-Aldrich measure was completed in nine weeKS. Part of this delay is occasioned by the fact that the Senators soar away on flights of oratory about the French revolution, the after-war situation in Russia, the Federal reserve system, the Einstein theory and the proper lengths of women's skirts, instead of applying themselves to the urgent question at hand.

Mr. Capper points out that the chief objection to & cloture rule comes from the irreconcilables, who contend that unlimited debate allowed them to kill the League of Nations. “As only a few' Senators now are standing out against a cloture rule, there is an excellent prospect that time-killing tariff speeches will soon he limited and that we shall get somewhere,'’ the Kansan prophesies.

George and the Knee Breaches The next function at the Court of St. James will see the American ambassador. Col. George Harvey, attired in the regulation knee Dreeches knee pants, the boys would call them—decreed by British etiquette. The colonel wore the plush breeches at a royal affair not tong ago, but got a twinge of conscience and decided that thereafter he would appear in court in long trousers. He complained that the contour of his calves did not readily adapt themselves to knee pants, but It is a good ber that he couldn’t help thinking about the folks at home when he donned tne abbreviated costume. f But everybody at the court was all dressed up in resplendent uniforms gay with decorations and medals and colored stripes—everybody with the exception of the German ambassador representing the new democracy of Germany. George probably decided that he wouldn't be so out of place in the royal atmosphere and that his plush knee breeches would not make him as conspicuous as they would in an American crowd so he informed his valet that henceforth when he appears before the King he will don the regulation clothes, come what may. The colonel is a braver man than we thought him to be and we will expectantly await the first picture of him in h£ dress to see ilUjis original auspices are confirmed.

Mind leading me a hand, Linda. Can’t quite manage this with one arm." At once angrily and gently Lucinda draped the motor coat over his shoulders. Bel continued: "I’m to understand, then, my wishes mean nothing to you?" Lucinda gave a little, silent laugh, and In silence for a moment, gazed on Bellamy, her eyes unreadable. "You forget what I don’t, Bel,’’ Lucinda aald slowly, "that it was you who made the mode of life with which I was content Impossible for me. If this life I've taken up here is in some sense a makeshift, it's all I’ve got to take the place of all I had. And now you’d roo me even of it!

four hours only on front-page space in the newspapers. t Then, since the death of the unhappy woman had defeated all hope of a lurid court proceeding and rendered piquant exploitation of “wild life inside the movie colony," the case went into quick eclipse. Lucinda spent the best part of that day In ihe projection-room with Zlnn and Wallace Day, her new director, sitting in Judgment on thirty-six reels of film, the accumulated sum of Nolan's fumbling with about two-thirds of a picture. To the weariness of those days the visit of Hartford Willis came as a welcome interlude. It did Lucinda good -to hear him growl and scold about anything as relatively inconsiderable as the lunacy of throwing IN A CHOKING VOICE HE CRIED, "LINDA!

She caught the train with little to spare, and not until It was In motion did she discover a box of roses in the luggage rack in her drawing-room.

Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ Or New York By RAYMOND CARROLL - (Copyright, 1922, by Pabli* Ledger Company.) ■ ■■■■

NEW TORK, June 10.—Thp drug store has come to be the new center of community life, and scores of them in New York are putting in cushioned seats around the soda fountain, or stocking up with tables and chairs where there is room, and keeping open until long after midnight. The closing of the saloon and the shifting of movement away from pastry shops have given the chemists anew lease of life. At first It looked as If the dellcatesseners would fall heir to the honer, and for a time In Gotham they did get a strong play, but the odors of the cooked meats, the openly displayed prepared salads proved too much for the olfactory organs of the public. Many discovered eating after midnight was harmful to the digestive organs. In the last sir months there has been a gradual settling of custom to accept the drug store as the legitimate and only prqper successor of the saloon. Through the bright-light belt the drug stores are crowded far into the morning hours, nnd the time-worn question "whore shall I meet you?" now has for Its universal response, “at the drug store." What liquors are legally sold under a physician's prescription arc handed over the counters of some drug stores. The drug addicts find solace for their cravings in haunting the proximity ot the rows and rows of drug jars, and even if they cannot procure the “snow" to snuff uji the nostrils or the “shot” for the hypo needle, they like to come in and hang around the place. It is possible for them In certain places willing to take the risk to obtain their pleasure poison. Today one can buy most anything In a drug store, the drugs themselves forming the smallest item in the dny's sales. Just take notice from now on and watch the steady growth In importance ns a center for congregation of the drug store. There Is a cabaret place in Broadway called The Tent, which reveals a certain cleverness in catering to public taste. Jack I.enigan. the Celtic proprietor, for years was a crack cutter in a Fifth avenue tailoring shop. lie passed his evenings around the Broadway district, and upon different lines. Ills psychology was that wealthy people possessing old masters upon tlielr walls and fine fireplaces, would dock to a resort that represented the antithesis of what they were accustomed to in their homes. Lenlgan conceived a resort with sawdust on the floor. Turkey-red table covers and roughly dressed persons hanging about with a ramshackle elevator doing the lifting honors. Then he hired a woman who had figured sensationally In the newspapers and her husband to '■< ile and perform nightly the Apache l:i',c—Peggy March, who sued the great Fie'ds family of Chicago and her husband, "Buster” Johnson, member of the late Torn Johnson of Cleveland -and threw open his doors. Another case where a mind guessed right—the rich fas’ set are flocking to Lenlgan, and an ordinary mortal cannot get into The Tent with a shoehorn. While the local dailies have been denouncing .he gubernatorial candidacy of William Randolph Ilearst on tle-ir editorial pages, they have been publishing In the news columns and picture page his portrait surrounded by his becoming and approving family. That old trio of p.dltlcal wiseacres. Charley Stockier, Billy Clark and Ernes- Harrier, in the amen corner of the Waldorf again reiterated there Is nothing In the Hearst candidacy but personal advertising and never was. It was said if Hearst was really out for the office he would never app.uir to seek the support of Tammany. "That Is right." said Harrier. "In l_S"fl John Kelley was the undisputed leader of Tammany and he sent General O'Malley, his confidential reprcs.-ntat ire, to Governor Tilden. who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination f r President. Mr. Tilden was n his C,ranter.-y Park home. : T*fy MiGiey told him the conditions urdAT which Tammay would s':pjMjrt| Aim f- r fh< nomination. 'You wfch asked Mr, Tilden. 'By ail *a',s,Rjistv.-r. .1 the general. ‘Then oppose at the Sr. Louis conventiononly way you can tic of service.' Governor, offering the genqjal a ri^ar." How would you like to put in thirtyseven years 'first nichts at the theaters, and on top of that every Saturday at re-seeing some show you liked at the opening? That has been the :.ire of George May. r, the cors.-t iv. inuf;teti;r< r, who liv.-s with his mother In Seventy Eighth street. Mr. Mayer has taken more punishment, always seated in the first r,.iv off the center aisle, through all sorts of weather. In season and Out of season, than any living New Yorker. When one stops to contemplate what he must have suff- red from the bad shows, the theater managers owe him a gold medal. Seated at hts side through It nil has been a little French doll sort of person, pray haired and soft voiced. Not his wife, for Mr. Mayer has never married. You have guessed It -his mother. Mr. Mayer began ns n "first nlghter" when he was nineteen years old. nnd the only openings he hns missed have been those falling upon the nights when two or more shews duplicated. As he invariably sticks until the final curtain, Mr. Mayer never has tried the plan of taking in parts of different shows, a practice common with some of the dramatic critics. Actors and actresses have conic to look eagerly for him at the openings, and thus far he has been right there in the same seat for nearly two score of years. His features nre as familiar to those back of the footlights as. the features of Chief Justice Taft or President Harding. That is why his friends are making sfuch a to-do over the failure of one theatrical manager to have him painted on a curtain representative of New York firstnighters, which has been attracting attention In a theater West of Broadway In the Forties. Edith Helena, high soprano now singing Keith time, has come forward as the champion of the whaleboned stays as women’s best friend if she happens to be a vocalist.

JUNE 10,1922.

"All female singers need a brace at thfl abdomen," she said today. “If I leave off my corset even for a day, I find my vocal powers diminishing. High notes, especially those which throw out the re-> splratory organs, need tho support of the corset. I would never think of coming on the stage without wearing mine, and that is the view of all who sing well," In every town, there are from one to a half-dozen wealthy men who pass their free time and early morning hours at the self-inflicted task of entertaining theatrical people. Most of them keep little red-books filled with names, and when this or that show hits their burg, they are right on the spot with elaborately arranged programs of after-midnight entertainment. Broadway know’s these “easy marks" even better than the distant gay boys think they know the thespians from the bright lights of the big town. Boston In former days had four of these enormously wealthy ready-to-en-t< rtain men. One died, another married a wife who stopped the lively parties, and but two remain active at the welcoming business. Benjamin Ka’oatznick, an art dealer and one of the surviving pair, is now getting a bit of the limelight through letting his house out to some of the visiting show girls. Asa direct outcome of a party in the Kabatznick dwelling, Geneva Mitchell, a principal in "Selly” next to Marvin Miller in standing, lost a Job with the Ziegfeld show. • s he han returned to New York and Is being (xtensively interviewed on tho strength of the rumpus. "The notoriety earned her a vaudeville contract, but tho girls in shows that are yet to go to Boston, are up in arms, claiming that “if Geneva had only kept still. Kabbv would not have got Into the public eye.’* In fact, the dropping out of one man at the entertainment game, will not affect matters, for there will always be staga door Johnnies ready to wrap SIOO bills around the stems of American beauty roses and place limousines at the disposal of the fair coryphees.
