THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN'-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1912.

WORK IS STARTED ON SCHOOL CENSUS Every Child in the City of School Age to Be Listed by Enumerators.

The school enumerators, whose duty it is to secure the names of every boy and girl in the city between the ages of six and twenty-one years, started on their work today. Richard Study will have the territory west of the river and east of the river from First to Seventh streets on the north side of Main street; R. L. Moore, the territory east of the river from First to Eleventh on the south side of Main; W. P. Cook the territory north of Main south of the railroad from Seventh to Glen Park; and George Bishop the territory north of the railroads east of the river and south of Main street from Eleventh to Twenty-third streets. For every boy or girl of school age in the city who is listed by the enumerators, $3 will be placed in the state school fund to the credit of the public schools in this city. On the enumeration is based the city's apportionment of the state school fund. Last year 5,100 children of school age, whether going to school or engaged in work or business, were enumerated. It is believed that this number has been augmented during the past year and something like $16,000 will be received from the state school fund to be applied toward the expense of maintaining the local schools. Supt. T. A. Mott of the city schools requests every householder to assist the enumerators in their work as to do so will increase the allowance for the local schools. The remaining part of the expense of the local schools is raised by local taxation.

STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN-IT IS HERE

NOW

Have you seen it? Well it is here, the coming was weeks before it was expected but it is here and here to stay at least until Labor Day. It was seen on Ft. Wayne Avenue this morning. The "it" referred to, is the first straw hat of the season. Not a woman's hat. but a genuine, masculine, sailor hat of white straw with the conventional black ribbon, running around the crown. It was not of the Panama variety. Seemingly unmindful of the scores of pairs of eyes resting upon his "bonnet," and of the smiles which crept over the faces of the owners of the aforesaid eyes, the wearer of the hat walked calmly north on the avenue, paying no attention to the stretching necks and lurking smiles. An argument was started at Eighth and North E as to whether the man was wearing the hat on a bet or whether he had no other or if he just wanted to gain a little notoriety for being the first person to wear a straw hat in Richmond in 1912. It must .be admitted this is some distinction. Our hero was almost two months ahead of the official opening of the straw hat season, which occurs on Decoration Day, although some wear the thatched headgear a week or so before May 30. The closing of the straw hat season is Labor Day.

AUTO FIRE TRUCK TO COME IN JUNE

The auto fire truck which has been ordered will be here by the first of June. The new gasoline tank which has been installed in the alley back of the city hall fire department has been placed in working order and found to be in excellent condition. The tank holds ninety gallons of gasoline. It has a pump by which the gasoline may be drawn from a faucet inside the hose department. The liquid is automatically measured as it leaves the pump.

NEW CASTLE MAYOR VISITED RICHMOND

Desiring to reorganize their street department. Mayor George Barnard and councilman Jameson, of New Castle, spent yesterday afternoon in the city on a junketing trip. They complimented the city highly on the condition of the streets, and were closeted with street commissioner Genn for a long time while making estimates and gathering data on the street cleaning methods in vogue here. They also inspected the fire departments with the view of gathering pointers for the erection of one of their new hose houses. The city of New Castle also expects to purchase an auto truck.

CHANGE OF VENUE

A motion for change of venue in the case of the state exrel Olga Loucke versus Ora C. Paul, the affidavit charging bastardy, was sustained by Judge Fox in the Wayne cricuit court this morning and the case will be taken to the Henry circuit court where it will be heard by Judge Ed Jackson.

MARKETMASTER TO DEFEND HIMSELF

Marketmaster John Taylor is to appear before council next Monday night and deny his alleged failure to perform his duties. The market dealers state Taylor is the best marketmatser they have ever had and allege he is being imposed upon by the action taken against him at the last meeting of council. Taylor states he will come prepared to give council a complete list of his work in the city for the last six months, giving dates when he inspected scales, with the signatures of the owners of the scales showing that he made the tests. He will also explain other things, he states, which were made out against him in the statement by councilman Evans. Mayor Zimmerman at a recent meeting of the board of works took occacion to recommend that the board seek the passage of an ordinance making it compulsory for the coal drivers to weigh every load of coal at the city scales before delivering the coal. This matter may also be brought up.

A syllabus for the conference of professors of colleges and universities of the United States and Canada, east of the Rocky Mountain, which is to be held in this city May 2 and 3, the purpose being to consider student voluntary Bible study, has just been issued. This is a preliminary announcement giving the subjects for discussion. The final program with lists of speakers, etc., will be issued later. The citizens of this city have offered to entertain the delegates in their homes and, therefore, the committee in charg of the conference says it will be necessary for all registrations to be received by Neil McMillan, executive secretary, not later than April 25. Mr. McMillan's address is 124 East 28th street, New York City.

(National News Association) INDIANAPODLIS, April 10-While major league cohorts are absorbed in anticipation of the opening of the season in their respective circuits tomorrow, the fans of the American association have their long-anticipated opportunity today. None the less marked in point of interest and enthusiasm the followers of Tom Chivington's start on what promises to be the most successful of all A. A. seasons. In the initial contests today Kansas City plays at Columbus, Milwaukee at

Toledo, Minneapolis at Louisville and St. Paul in Indianapolis. The schedule calls for a season of 168 games, with

September 23 as the date for the curtain to fall. . Reports from about the circuit indicate that the outlook is on of optomism, notwithstanding the fact that all of the teams were handicapped in their training by bad weather. Though the early opening date left little time to complete the work of preparation the teams swing into action today with eevry indication pointing to a spirited race. Mud Hen fans. Saints enthusiasts and followers of the Brewers, Cowboys, Millers. Senators, Colonels and Hoosiers all have their eyes towards an eventual pennant-winning team. Minneapolis expects to cop its third

successive pennant. Toledo, under the management of "Topsy" Hartsell, looks good to finish well to the front of the race. Milwaukee. Indianapolis and Kansas City will be surprised if they fail to finish in the first division. The real strength of the Columbus club has yet to be tested and the Louisville and St. Paul teams have problems to solve before they can hope to win.

The Salvation Army recently stated that its proprty holdings in the United States exceed $5,000,000,000 in value.

Mozart's Musical Memory. Mozart had a wonderful memory of musical sounds. When only fourteen years of age he went to Rome to assist in the solemnities of holy week. Immediately after his arrival he went to the Sistine chapel to hear the famous "Miserere" of Allegri. Being aware that it was forbidden to take or give a copy of this renowned piece of music, Mozart placed himself in a corner and gave the strictest attention to the music and on leaving the church noted down the entire piece. A few days afterward he heard it a second

time and, following the music with his own copy in his hand, satisfied himself of the fidelity of his memory. The next day he sang the "Miserere" at a concert, accompanying himself on the harpsichord, and the performance produced such a sensation in Rome that Pope Clement XIV. requested that this

musical prodigy should be presented to him at once.

Picturing tho Face. "Why do you photographers always photograph the left side of the face by preference?" "Because it's the best looking," was the prompt reply. "The left side of the face is always the more regular, and it always shows least the marks of time. "But," he continued, "if you want to bring out the real character of a face photograph the right side. There nature sets her print. There the lines are bold and unmistakable. There every defect, no less than every excellence, is stamped deep. "The left side, where everything is softened down, for beauty. The right side, where everything is well rubbed in, for character. Those are the portrait artist's two chief rules." New York Tribune.
