TALES FROM BIG CITIES

Golden Wedding of Santa Fe Pioneers

NEW YORK.—Mr. and Mrs. Willi Spiegelberg celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home, 67 Riverside drive, with a reception in the afternoon and a dinner for their immediate relatives at night Mr. Spiegelberg. who was eighty years old October 21 last went to Santa Fe, N. Mex., as a young man, crossing the prairies and mountains in a covered wagon. In the early *OOB he was an expert lariat-thrower and could rope a steer and snap out a candle flame with one crack of a blacksnake whip. Mrs. Splegelberg, who traveled to Santa Fe alone in an overland coach, as a young bride, to Join her husband, was the thirteenth American-born woman in Santa Fe at the time, and in the days of reconstruction following the Civil war she entertained Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and often danced with Gen. William 3’. Sherman and Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, who came to Santa Fe to inspect the military department of New Mexico. At a dance given in honor of General Sherman, all the young women stood in line waiting their turn to kiss him. "But my husband would not allow me to kiss the general,” Mrs. Spiegel-

Who Said Friday Was an Unlucky Day?

DENVER. —"Dancing is a pure and holy gift of God which seeks normal expression. It sooner or later must be studied by the church.” Strongly entrenched In this theory and in the belief that “There is good in dancing,” Rev. David H. Fouse, pastor of the Seventeenth Avenue Community church. East Seventeenth avenue and Emerson street, announced that classes of instruction in modern ballroom dancing would be conducted in his church every Friday evening. Certain denominations have permitted dancing in the church building, but It is believed this is the first class of instruction in modern dance steps to be inaugurated-in Denver. Despite the fact that it betokens a far cry from the hereditary stand of the church in regard to dancing, Rev. Mr. Fouse. however declared he did not see in his action anything of a revolutionary nature, but that it was. instead, merely the application of the principles of “that recognized Christian philosopher who said, ‘Be not

Chicagoan Finds Milwaukee Is Different

Y r ILWAUKEE.—“Stay away |\ 71 from this man’s town. They 1 V 1 don’t 'think any more of giving you life than a Chicago judge would of slapping on a $5 fine." This was the message Edward Kadetx, “chisel burglar,” sent out to his Chicago brethren while he waited in the county jail to b,e transferred to Waupun to begin serving a sentence of eight years imposed by Municipal Judge George A. Shaughnessy. “Eight years is «n awful Jolt when you figure that in Chicago you would get about five and costs for the sume thing,” Kadetz commented sorrowfully. “I didn’t know Milwaukee was so tough, or I would have stayed in Chicago. "After you are arrested in Chicago you have to be booked. Then they give you a police court hearing. “,.t thia time they fix your ball, and that usually means you are through with your trobble as far as sitting tn jail is concerned.

Grief for Loved Husband Kilk Widow

BROOKLYN.— Nine years of Idyllic life—a period unexpectedly ended by the death of her tr s*»and left Mrs. Florence Dunstan nothing to live for, and she died because the world was too lonely. Menn oriea tugged day after day, bringing a grief that nothing here could assuage, and though the medical report at St. John’s hospital, Brooklyn, attributed her death to gastroenteritis, her doctor and family admitted the real agent of death was sorrow. Mrs. Dunstan, thirty-six years old, had always been eager for the new experiences that each day brought, but these characteristics left her the day her husband died, December 22, 1923. Christmas—a day that had always meant so much to the adventurous. care-free couple—came while the pain of deeolation was still acute, and added to the depression which Mrs. Dunstan could not throw off. .It was living through that first Christmas in nine that she had passed without the happy comradeship of her husband.

And Such Is Life in the Large Cities

CHICAGO.— The hobos have moved from lower West Madison street to Grand boulevard. They will sleep no more on the dirty floors of the flop houses, but on real beds, between sheets as white as their own soiled linen and their now calloused consciences once must have been. It seems that the lessees of the Granville hotel. Thirty-eighth street and Grand boulevard, grew weary at last of the police interference tb which they have long been subjected. So Messrs. Abe Kess, Michael Hoffman. Phil Denman and Sol Sterns, the lessees, said to one another: “We will give the place to the hobos.” And they did. It was a gala occasion, with Dr. Ben Reltman. himself a reformed hobo, so to speak, to charge, and all the hobo celebrities present. There was music and singing. Reggie Roberts, well acquainted in many a public institution, led to song. And then everybody joined In the hobos- natMnal anthem. “Hallelujah.

If this was the first time be said it. The Indians were on the warpath when Mr. Spiegelberg went West to join bls older brother, S J. Spiegelberg, who had established a store in Santa Fe in 1846, selling everything from a pin to a piano. Later he was admitted as a partner in the firm with his six brothers. Arriving in New York In 1859 on the steamer Vanderbilt as a boy of sixteen. Mr. Spiegelberg traveled by rail to St. Louis, thence by steamboat up the Missouri to Kansas City, which had only 1,500 inhabitanta Here he joined the mule train of prairie schooners conveying merchandise to his brother’s store. After 40»days on the trail, with thousands of buffaloes and Indians on/every side, and heavily armed outriders to protect the train, he arrived In Santa Fe. In 1861 he made another trip along the old trail from Kansas City, which had become the terminus of the railroad, with a friend, in a buggy drawn by two government mules.

overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.’ ” In consequence of this belief, the dancing Classes have been instituted under the direction of Miss Katherine Nathan and under the personal supervision of the pastor. In speaking of this changed attitude of the church toward the dance. Rev. Mr. Fouse said. “With no discrimination and with blind prejudice, the religionists quite generally and consistently have denounced the dance and every form of its organization. In the face of this opposition, it remains today with more devotees than ever before. “There is no defense to be offered for the grossly sensual forms it hap taken nor of the leprous vice companions which it has attached to itself. When, however, we unite in a sympathetic scrutiny of the dance, we shall discover it to be a pure and holy gift of God. which seeks normal expression. When the church becomes the agency by which this good impulse of man is led into full and free manifestation, it becomes a savior to millions.”

to fix you up. But if you don’t want to go to that expense you can get some friend to put up a ‘straw’ ball. “In the meantime yotf are out until the grand jury meets. Sometimes this is four or five months later. The grand jury is always overloaded with cases and unless somebody pushes your case the chances are that you are not indicted. “But, even if you are indicted, your lawyer can always keep having the case continued from week to week, and finally the case is either thrown out of court or dismissed with asmall fine. “In Milwaukee it’s different. There’s no grand jury here and your trial comes up a few daiys after your arrest. All you can do .is plead guilty and take your medicine.” Twice Kadetz was arrested in Chicago on charges similar to that on which he was sentenced here. In each case be was fined $L He was arrested here, charged with breaking into several homes with the aid of a chisel. Within five days he waa converted and sentenced.

A new environment, she believed, could eventually |emper the widow’s sor- ■ row. The change was made, but it brought not even a flickering of joy to Mrs. Dunstan. Everything her relatives dreamed might buoy her up was used, but everything was futile. From the dawn of that Christmas day alone she refused to eat anything. Finally, Mrs. Barker sent for a doc- , tor. but all he could do was treat t Mrs. Dunstan for the emaciation that , tasting had brought Mrs. Dunstan was taken to St John’s hospital in the hope that some > one in the institution could Induce her to eat But none could.

“My Thanks to All the Fine Americans Who Made My Stay So Happy” a By PRINCE OF WALES, at American Society in London. TONIGHTS invitation sets the seal on my America. lam again sampling that greatest of all America’s marvelous homo products—the American blend of- hospitality and friendliness. I feel tonight as if I were back in America. I feel that if I looked out the window I’d see again the Woolworth building or the dazzling Wrigley twins. f If you read the papers, especially American papers, at all regularly, you know more about my stay in America than Ido myself. Things seem to have happened to me which I don’t remember at all. But I brought back enough happy memories to last a lifetime. The first thing after landing I met President and Mrs. Coolidge at the White House, which got me all set for my stay in-America. I attended polo matches. My recollection of the polo tournament is not of scores, but of two splendid teams of sportsmen who fought two great battles, and they were battles, from the start to the finish. I also like to recall the generous spirited American crowd which applauded good plays, whether made by Britons or Americans. > I had an interesting visit to Chicago and Detrtft. Chicago is the city where they take live pigs and turn them into little bits. Detroit i» a city where they take little bits and turn them into live automobiles. I do not know which is the better system, but I do know that I was never treated more kindly than in Chicago and Detroit. I don’t believe Columbus arrived with anything like the pleasurable anticipation < did or that he saw Sandy Hook fade on the horizon anything like the regret I had, or the wish I have to see it loom up again • some day. ” The United States has much to teach Englishmen? I hope I get anl other glimpse at America some time. I want by my speech toriight to ! send my thanks to all the fine Americans who made my stay there so happy. Physicians Think Moist Climate More Healthful Than Is a Dry One ■ ' 4 By HENRY J. COX, U. S. Weather Bureau. In different portions of the country the relative humidity of the ' atmosphere differs greatly. It is high on the Pacific and Gulf coasts, low .in the desert regions, and intermediate in other parts of the country. For I instance, Jacksonville, Fla., has an average relative humidity in summer of 82 per cent; New York and Chicago,. 73 per cent, and Yuma, Ariz., 43 per cent ■> Until recently it has generally been believed that a dry climate ismore healthful than a moist one, but at present many investigators, physi- : cians, are concluding that, except for tubercular cases, a moist climate is th® more healthful. Statistics show that a dear dry climate which remamP“ideal” the year round is not to be preferred to one with wideitis the changeable climate such as Chicago enjoys—good, bad and indifferent weather —that prevents monotony; and bad weather makes us appreciate the good. Not Increase in the Quantity of Human Beings So Much as Quality By HAVELOCK ELLIS, in Pictorial Review. .The association of men and women in those affairs of the mind and spirit which make up civilization is aided, we are beginhing to see, by another great fact whibh the world is now facing. That is, that while the central functions of life radiating from maternity must ever be the chief occupation of the majority of women, yet reproduction has ceased to have the urgent importance for mankind which it once possessed. Among small tribes and primitive peoples, to increase and multiply often ifeexped the most imperative duty. All the more so as many of their offspring perished in infancy. A radical change in our views on this subject is taking place. It is not an increase in the quantity of human beings that the world any longer needs, but an increase in their quality and a greater care in breeding those that are reproduced. Parenthood is no longer a mere animal instinct to be fulfilled ignorantly, but an art and a science, a sacred function, to be assumed deliberately by the fitting people at the fitting ; Women to Be Heads of Their Families and Marriage to Be Eliminated . By CLARENCE DARROW, Chicago Lawyer. Society eventually will work out a system whereby women will be the heads of their families and the practice of marriage will be eliminated. It is only preachers and religions which say the family is the foundation of society. ' < ; ■ . What is a family? Whether children oT the same mother have the same father is not an important matter, so long as they are of the right kind of fathers. Heredity ariU environment make the child, and the latter is most important, to my mini Mating is no less right because words are said by a preacher. In time children will come to be looked upon as assets, rather than liabilities. Certainly birth control should be a part of woman’s knowledge, bat as a solution of crime it could be used only as a temporary and local remedy. Probably the practice would eliminate some causes of crime, as it is the poor that have the large families, and it is poverty that is one of the causes’ of crime. Nowadays a Girl Makes No Secret of the Fact She Is Helping Nature — , By MRS. THOMAS WHIPPEN, m Baltimore Sun. - It seems to me our young folks today are more honest than those who lived when I was a young lady, drake the matter of make-up, for instance. In those days the belles of the time put coloring on their cheeks, darkened their eyebrows and often added a touch of ruby to their lips. But they would not dream of letting their suitors know they did this! For al) that they ever confessed otherwise, their cheeks were natural roses, their lips like the cherry itself, and their skin milk-white, although they had carefully seen to that a few minutes earlier with a swan’s down puff and a very fine grade of powder. • But nowadays a girl makes no secret of the fact that she is helping nature along by applying rouge to her cheeks and a lip-stick to her smile. I feel, of course, so much make-up is a pity, because it spoils the naturally pretty skin of a girl. And then, too, perhaps Fin just an old-fash-ioned grandmother, but I can’t feel that it is quite the ladylike thing for ft nice sweet girl to be attending to her personal appearance in public.Pref. William McDougall of Harvard University.—One of the gravest and most acute problems before the world today is the removal cf checks upon the growth of the world population. It is a standing danger to civilization. Formerly infanticide, abortion, famine and intertrilwl warfare remained as powerful and effective checks to race expansion. But now, with the application of Western administration and Western ideas throughout the world, these checks have been rendered impotent, and we see Indie expanding in one century from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000.
