AT THE COUNTY FAIR |normal and physically fit, get that play—whether | . lit’s by playing baseball or golf or taking long; “Caruso’s voice is stilled by death.” | That could have been said truthfully — if the| singer had died 25 years ago. But though the marvelous tenor has. been: touched by Death’s hand, his voice will live | through the centuries. i And, too, he will walk with generations after generations to’ come. For Caruso’s voice is preserved for us through | the phonograph; his form is preserved for us in motion pictures. For which art must thank science. PAIN-KILLER Less than a century ago, there were. no anaes- thetics such as chloroform or ether. When your ancesters. had to submit to the surgeon’s knife, they were strapped to the table and gagged to muffle their screams. The University of Georgia now officially rec-; ognizes Dr. William Crawford Long as the dis- coverer..of anaesthesia. It claims that he performed the world’s first painless surgical operation, using ether, March 30, 1842. = eT This will start much controversy among medi-/ cal men, for the Hall of Fame in New York has bestowed the same honor on Dr. William Thomas} Green Morton of Massachusetts. After experi- menting on himself, Dr. Morton made his first painless operation, by ether, September 30, 1846.| Similar controversies wage around nearly all] great discoveries, which usually have been the re- sult of the work of many instead of any one indi- vidual. The use of anaesthetics was one of the lost arts, practiced by the ancients and rediscovered by Morton or Long. aA Herodotus recorded that the Scythians produced a painless state of stupefaction by using the va- por of hemp seed. Pliny, the naturalist, who died in the year 79, wrote this about a plant called mandragora: “It has a soporific power on the faculties of those who drink it. The ordinary potion is half a cup. | It is drunk against serpents and before cutting and puncturing lest it should be‘felt.” Surgeons 700 years ago recorded that they made operations painless, by having their patients inhale the vapor of opium, hemlock, mulberry leaves and a host of other ingredients. Americans rediscovered the process about 80 years ago—and thought they had something new. This makes you wonder if civilization runs in circles. Chinese, according to their histories, had flying machines 22,000 years ago. Rediscovery of a lost art, however, is as import-! ant as the original discovery. : | Doctors Long and Morton saved millions from! pain.

But we don’t have to go} outside of the United States to find the city that) seems to be entitled to.the medal. In San Fran-| cisco the ratio of divorces to marriages is about 1 to 2—43 per cent as many divorces as marriages. SEEING }, : ‘Sight is more mental.than physical. Conse- quently many of the physically blind see more than those of us with normal eyesight. Such a blind man is James H. Rawlinson, an ex- soldier, who the other day left Ottawa on the first part of his journey to London, where he is to take a position in the Department of Immigration and Colonization. | There’s many a seeing man who wouldn’t have} the vision—or the courage—to cross the ocean, te take a new job. | EMERY -‘ ; | “The American Legion won’t let: up in its pro-! gram for disabled veterans until the last man has; obtained the last cent of compensation due him,” is the declaration of John G. Emery, the new} legion commander. The untimely death of Colonel. Galbraith, who as legion commander worked: unceasingly fo ‘get | justice for the disabled soldiers, was a great loss to the legion. It was feared that a successor equal to the task of carrying on his work to a successful finish could not be found. Happily these’ fears seem to have been unfounded. Emery is made of the same stuff. PERSECUTION The weakening of Soviet rule in certain parts| of Russia has resulted in reviving anti-Jewish! prejudice, according to Dr. Kreinin, a prominent Jewish social worker, who has just arrived at! Berlin from Moscow. Dr. Kreinin fears the extermination of the en-; tire Jewish population in White Russia in the re- vival of the pogroms whichhave already ‘begun.! He tells of Jews forsaking their homes and pro-! perty and fleeing to the frontiers. More than 50,- 000 are living in horrible conditions along the Ru- manian border. Not a child under seven years of age is to be found among them, all having died of disease or starvation. | Most of the statues are erected in honor of| those who spread suffering—warriors. i We do a lot of things backward in this contra-} i dictory thing called life. | STIMULANTS | _John Barleycorn comes to life in the Far North. | The Yukon Canadians, after trying prohibition, | voted wet by a big majority and the saloons of! Dawson are said to be staging wilder orgies than! during the Klondike gold rush. | ‘This puzzles the drys, for the Yukon previously | had‘voted bone-dry jso overwhelmingly that it was| thought the liquor question up there had been! settled for all time. | Strong drink can be legislated out. It’s not as! easy to kill the craving for stimulants. The} Malay chews betel nuts.

THUNDER SHOWER RESPONSIBLE FOR ICE CREAM SODA Detroit,“ Mich., Aug. 6.—A summer thunder shower 41 years ago resulted in the “invention” of the ice cream soda, according to Fred Sanders, Jr., of Detroit, whose grandfather, Fred Sanders, claimed the distinction of having .discovered this American: in- stitution. ‘ Speaking of his grandfather's dis- covery Mr. Sanders said: “Forty years ago the American peo- ple regarded ice. cream, much as the lily that could not be painted. At that time they ‘took, it straight.’ Syrups were in general use in drink concoc- tions but the ice cream sundae and its many near relatives were un- known. Carbonated water was used by the soda ‘dispensers in a popular drink known as sweet cream soda. Its chief ingredient was sweet cream, direct from the farm. S “The thundershower that broughi about my grandfather's discovery came in the summer of 1880. He was conducting a soft drink parlor and the storm caused the sweet cream he had intended for sodas to sour. Just after the storm passed a wedding party dropped in and my grandfather volun- teered to experiment until he found a substitute drink. He tried several drinks and finally concocted one al- [EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO| $<. TH!tS MAKES THC cag Cl It'S TIME FOR A SHOWDOWN ¢ Ee ITS [MRE ENGING, ROU BLUE AT BY SHE'S GOT!

New York want to go .a-swimming'— but there isn’t. room enough for all to swim. On week-ends it’s a strong man who can battle, into bathhouses at nearby beaghes and. even if: there were more bathhouses, it’s hard to imagine how many more thousands could gain foot- hold, on the crowded san¢s. So from ‘City Hall down, every one is ‘trying to locate new swimming holes—and a twentieth century swim- ming hole in America’s largest city is a costly proposition. Mayor Hylan has urged construction of a swimming’ pool in Central Park and it has been suggested that an unneeded reservoir be converted to the uses of a perspir- ing citizenry but at present it’s all alk, and talk is even more heating. ‘Meanwhle special shower baths have been built in teaement Gistricts, street cleaners hosing the heated pavements wash down youngstvra for the asking and in the smaller parks dqtting the city the police aren't quite so zealous in diving amphibious street urchins out of the couniatns. The world’s largest swimming f has been opened in Maaison Sauvre Garden. Dock-diving along the Hud- {son, Harlem and East Rivers is as ‘popular as. ever, and now and then.a neighborhood. produces. sometaing unique in the way of a bathing tub. or instance the firemen at the Greenwich Village station house nave built a wooden pool for the neighbor. hood youngsters, and artists and poets of the section lay aside palette and pen every day to watch a young vwo- man instruct her splashing pupils there, ) SATURDAY NIGHT DANCE ON THE McKENZIE ROOF Patrons will be served with fresh Live Lobster and Oriental Dishes, Chop Suey, Chow Mein, etc., prepared by an oriental Chef.
