PADEREWSKI AT THE PIANO Description of Great Master’s Playing Well Called a Gem of Humor- ous Composition. The death recently of EQd H. Smith recalled the humorous editorials which made his little newspaper, the Chula News, noted. The one which first drew attention to it follows: “We heard the Polander, Paderew- ski, play the piano in Kansas City last night. The fellow is deceitful. He makes you think all the time that he is going to play a tune, but he never does. He flirts all around a tune, but never touches it. His hair looks like a wig, but it isn’t. He deceives you in 8 hundred ways. He makes the sweetest sounds you ever heard that ‘were not a tune. He has his piano #0 trained tha't the doggone thing will keep right on playing when he is not touching it. He reaches out slowly and strokes it, drawing back his el- bows like a man brushing a girl’s hair, You see the moonlight and you’re there with your girl, but somehow she don't love you. We know the sorrow of that, and that’'s why we don’t like Paderewski. There are troubles enough in the world without hearing Paderewski. A man don’t want to Teel like he had thrown the mutilated remains of his grandmother in the sewer. If this is Paderewski's last visit to America we're glad of it. But we wouldn't take $100 for what we heard.” LOOKED AS IF HE KNEW Good Reason Why Soldiers Urged Lieutenant to Take Military Po- Jiceman's Word for It. A colored detachment under a white Yeutenant was making its way through the shattered territory near Dun-sur- Meuse during the thick of the Argonne drive. At a crossroads it encountered :a traflic-directing M. P. who halted the eolumn. “Sorry, sir.” he said to the officer in charge. “You are not‘zlllowed up that Toad. We have information that it is about to be shelled by the enemy.” The officer carefully examined his orders. “My instructions read differ- ently,” he declared. “I cannot be- leve that this is the road to be shelled. Have you any verification?”’ At this moment a shell burst within A hundred yards, tearing up the earth :and sending debris flying in every ai- ‘rection. The entire landscape was ob- Jiterated, and a dead silence, broken I _-only by the crash of falling stones, en- ‘sued. Then, out of a cloud of set- tling dust, arose one faint, terrified ‘volce: 2 “Fo’ Gawd’s sake, lootenant, please take de gemmun’s word fo' it!"—The ‘Home Sector. Business Welcomes Radio Circuits. With the new radio circuits in op- -eration between America and the far Rast, it is comforting to know, even 1f one has infrequent occasion to com- municate with Japan, Hawaii and the Philippines, that the new service is «onsidered quite reasonably inexpen- sive. One may communicate with Ma- wila from the California stations for '€ cents a word, and with Hawaii for 3. Even if the rates were higher, how- -ever, the new circuits would be wel- ~<omed by American business interests, -for the development of trade, as well 8 the transmission of news, has been seriously handicapped by lack of facili- ties for communication. The United ‘States will get a better news service in consequence, do more business. and ‘may feel also, according to naval of- ficers, that the national defense sys- stem has been strengthened at a weak point.—Christian Science Mofiitor. Airship Construction. Some interesting facts regarding the work required in building a large -modern airship are given in a recent 4ssue of the Engineer. which states that the general problems of design are closely allied to those of naval -architecture, although the airship de- signer must be a highly skilled me- <hanical engineer and also must have 2 knowledge of textile technology. Tor the work on construction, -owing to the multiplicity of parts required, o very eflicient shop organization is r'v. In a rigid airship struc- cluding the machinery, there are 20,000 different parts, a total length of structural material of 20 miles, G0 miles of wire and more ‘than 2,000,000 rivets. Ruskin’s Birthplace for Sate. No. 54 Hunter street. Brunswick square, London, the birthplace of John Ruskin, is for sale by private treaty. Tn the early days of the nineteenth .century, says the London Telegraph, John James Ruskin came to London from Edinburgh to enter the wine trade. In 1818 he married his cousin, Margaret Cox, and February 8, 1819, the author of “Sesame and Lilies” was born. The house in Hunter street. which is now distinguished by a com- memorative tablet, is of the substan- tial Georgian type so well known in ‘Bloomshury and was erected at a time when that district was particular- iy in favor among city merchants.

SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1820 + When Money Came Peace Flew Out of the Window OS ANGELES.—“Take your divorce, sir, and peace be with you,” said Judge Crail, and Victor A. Rossbach was no longer the husbhand of Mrs. Ruby A. Rossbach, sister of *“Silent” Smith, the late millionaire, and herself the pos- sessor of a $400,000 fortune. Some weeks ago Mrs. Rossbach sued for divorce. At the trial she said that her husband was uncouth and would not fit into her life; that he lived mostly in the garage, where he kept a bottle and entertained such friends as the street sweeper and Kelley, who piloted the steam roller; that he put his feet on the table and kept his hat on at meals. Rossbach admitted many of the wife's allegations, and at the time the judge said the evidence showed that Mrs. Rossbach was the one guilty of cruelty and desertion, and if at any time Rossbach wanted a divorce he could have it. So he came after his divorce. Said Rossbach: “Things were fine until she got this money, then she put on high doings and airs. I never knew how to wear a dress suit and never will. She wouldn’t let me smoke my pipe in the house, but her dude friends could smoke boxes of cigarettes and she wouldn’t mind a bit. When she had com- pany she didn’t want me around. The garage was the only place I could en- joy myself.” In summing up the case, the judge said: “When money came peace flew out of the window. He didn’t progress as fast in the social arts as she did. The fault is hers. He's too old to learn new tricks. I wish him happiness in his marital freedom.” Rossbach sald he “had a stake” and_he had earned his living once, and could do it again. f Betrayed His Cause. The impassioned orator at a tramps’ convention paused and wiped his per- spiring brow. “Brother,” he said, “this is hard work.” Then they expelled him.—Boston Post. B. A.
