THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) \ <r THE BOY WIZARD Little Samuel Rzeschewski, the sensational nine-year-old chess wizard from Portland, is back in New York. On his western tour, he won 1491 | He will fly around the top of the world, taking | out of 1500 games played with grown-up chess veterans. Is Sammie satisfied with his laurels? No. He yawns. It is announced that he will tour the country as an operatic singer. His first concert will be in Lakewood, N. J., during Feb- ruary. Theatrical performers will chuckle and com- ment: “Yes, when they can dance, they want to sing. And when they can sing, they want to dance.” Will Sammie make a hit as an opera star? Yes, after some preliminary training: This is predict- ed by Mischa Elman, the violinist, and by Cantor Rosenblatt, the tenor. They have great faith in| his vocal possibilities. That would be something new under the sun. For the child prodigy, precocious mentally, is al- most invariably a physical weakling. His thyroid gland secretes too much iodine —runs his brain- engine so fast that his body suffers. It will be phenomenal if any part of Sammie’s body — even his singing apparatus — proves to be} above normal. Wise old father of Sammie Rzeschewski isn’t taking any chances on careers in chess or opera. He is starting an insurance company, named after his son. ; : Socrates would nod approval at that. The shrewd man always has something salted away for emergency. : Amazing: prodigies like Samuel jRzeschekswi; visit our“world about once in a century or two. | See him, if you ever get the chance. Young ladies, still playing with dolls, will be in-| terested in this: Sammie has taken a vow never to shake hands wth a woman., It will be fascinating to watch his career un- fold. Right now he is unquestionably the brightest boy in the world. wf - EVER SEE A FAT TRAMP? The fat’ man-is the target for ‘many. jokes, which frequently hinge around ‘hjs supposed aver- sion to exerting himself physically. But you never,saw a fat tramp. The fat man is a lover of ease. He likes the good things of life, and usually is willing to work hard to gratify- his desires. ? Hence, says Mrs. Ethel Spalding Slater, Balti- more vocational expert, the fat man’s love of ease gravitates:fiim to the swivel chair, good executive and is a natural politician. This is a good sales argument for fat men, out of jobs—if there are any. FORCEPS A dentist can yank out a patient’s teeth with- out consulting the patient, “in the exercise of his professiofial duties,” rules the Wisconsin ‘state supreme court. The jokesmiths may grind some- thing out of this, about keeping on the side of the man with the pull. ‘ . Mony persons might be in better health if the dentist used his forceps on their teeth. Much stomach and nerve trouble, rheumatism and more serious maladies are due to abscesses at the roots of the teeth. To save your teeth and guard your health, have the dentist inspect your teeth often. EXECUTIONER At Sing Sing, the official executioner gets $150 for each murderer he sends to death in the elec- tric chair. : His income last year was $1650, for 11 “jobs.” There are more desirable jobs. That such an occupation is necessary, or even considered neces- sary, emphasizes that so-called civilized man has back, they returned to the attack not once buttimbs only. So after all. Mr. Griffith not vet shaken off savagery. ‘ Before the present century ends, the murderer will be turned over to insanity experts, surgeons or ductless-glands experts, inst®d of the execu- tioner.

That is not much to lose. It would be more than ——— — lin a world rendered more productive by a lessen- ing of its war-preparedness burden. *BAR-ROOMS | Crowds are flocking to the movie thriller, “Ten iNights in a Bar-Room,” resurrected from old- ‘time melodrama. Some spectators would prefer “Ten Bar-Rooms in a Night.” This film will have real historical value a few ‘generations from now. It will be a ghost from the, past, luring-an awed public, like the relics of \former opium dens that make tourists gape in ‘Chinatown.

SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON Death found a shining mark in Sir Ernest Shackleton at the age of 47 years. It,struck him idown on the eve of what might have proved to be lin concrete gain for his fellowmen the greatest of all his great adventures into the Antarctic reg- jions. If others of the expedition shall see it \through without their famous leader, well and jgood, but his admirers cannot, but regret that he |was not spared to add'new glories to a career of unique achievement in faring strange, inhospit- lable seas. ec.) | The,lure of the South Pole and its frigid en- i | | i \virons had been strong in the breast of Sir Ernest | \for a score of years. He gained his first experi- lence in 1901, and six years later he became the ‘leader of a British expedition that penetrated the ice-packed seas to within 97 miles. of the Pole. Then came the thrilling series of adventures from 1914 to the late summer of 1916 —a series that included dash after dash to save fellow explorers ‘who, becoming the victims of treacherous winds and waters, were marooned for months on Ele- phant island. Nee While this epic of human: daring, endurance and loyalty was going on, the European war raged, transfixing the attention of the whole world. It mattered not to Sir Ernest that he was far out of the range of vision with no voice but the voice of his own conscience and no mandate but that of his sense of duty to urge him on. He and his fel- low rescuers were willing volunteers who chal- lenged Death time and again, who staked their | own lives, ready to take the million-to-one chance, if that were what it should come to, in the effort to save the lives*of others. Buffeted and beaten many times, and finally won. It was a heroism unlike that exemplified on battlefields, but it was true heroism nevertheless. At its base lay the spirit of sacrifice, the will to take the uttermost risk of life for life. ; | Of such stuff was the man whom Death has made up by increased peacetime.demand for steel | ‘HOLIDAYS | | | | i “LEARN A WORD EVERY DAY i‘ 7 Today’s word is PROVOCATIVE.

W. Griffith's newest wonder, picture, “Dream Street,” which will be shown at the Capitol theater, beginning Monday. Oddly it comes that Mr, Griffith {Should be the first to introduce this [novelty into the films, for it was he who first conceived the “close-up” in | pictures, enabling the human face. to express its greatest heights of feeling. | And now Ke revives for the screen the jancient technique where the face fs | Not seen at all. - This art flourished in the ancient days gf Greece, and@more recently in Japan. It considered the final tests of an actor’s merit in pantomine to be able to tell his story without the face being seen. The mask was ’made by W. T. Ben- da, the famous New York artist with brush and cils, who took up the mak- ing of masks as a hobby, and_ pro: pered it into 2 new art. The making of one mask requires from two to five weeks of almost conStant work. Tens of thousands of fragile slips of paper, about the size of a nickel, are sealed together by a secret process, The ex- pression is'the difficult attainment of the great mask. | The one appearing in “Dream Street,” is beautiful with a cold, fixed heauty.

Who will volunteer to circulate and obtain: si natures on one or more bunches The principal measure. on the quidation of the taxes for 1919,'1920 and 1921. It cancels all penalties and costs and half the unpaid taxes. It permits the payment’ of the other half before November 1, 1922. It cancels all sales to the state for the taxes of 19 and 20. It provides thus: “he first installment or first half of the taxes against any real property for the year 1921 may be paid at any time before the ‘end of September, 1922, with interest on or after March ist, and on such payment the last in- stallment’ and all taxes for the year 1921 shall be cancelled of record.” Of course there are some objections to this bill or measure, as thére are to every measure that can be framed. It may be urged that it is unfair to those who have paid their taxes and that it will make it quite’ impossible for municipalities to pay their obli- gations. But we have only a choice betweén evils. The delinquent taxes are not an asset. We must accept half a loaf or no bread. There re- mains unpaid about one-fourth of the taxes against real property for the years 19 and 20, and for those taxes the lands have been advertised for sale and bid in by the state. That has been an expense for no: purpose From ‘such ,sales, with interest and penalties, the poor people, now on the verge of want, cannot redeem and pay the taxes of the present. year. If we do not scale down the ‘ruinous taxes many thousands of people will have to abandon their lands and quit the state." But if we reduce all the VERETT TRUE s much money.as they would receive! by insisting on what. is known as the} pound of flesh. Besides the reduc- tion 'is. only a matter of simple. jus- tice, because it must be conceded that during the past three years the as- sessments and tax levies have been unfair, ‘grossly excessive and un- just. No pexson or patty can in any way defend a yearly state tax of $12,000,000 ‘and’ a total tax. of $33,- 000,000, and it is all virtually a land tax or a.tax on the producers of} wealth and not, on \the consumers. ' And what is the purpose of such a tax and to whom is it paid and how} is it squandered?” As i paid back to the farmers who pay it; it ‘s not, pai who ‘are on the verge of want or starvation.’ Very*little of the tax is! paid for actual necessaries, very little is invested in anv, productive enterprise.

It was with great joey that the children climbed up to their retreat again in- the playhouse under the branches of the old apple- tree. Indeed it was there Buskins found them one morning, looking ever so, puzzled about something. . “What is it, my dears?”;he asked, appeariing suddenly out of, the air.. “We were wondering where the smells go-to,” said Nick. “The apple blossoms are gone and the orchard doesn’t smell sweet {ike it used to. We know where the pink petals went —they fell on the ground and dried up —but where did the, lovely smell go?” “Why, don’t you" know?”, answered the ‘fairyman. “Thé ‘smells go. up | like smcke, to the Land-of-Up-in-the | Air, And they all turn into fairies ‘and have a good time, particularly the smells of nice things to eat. {Would you like to take a trip with ‘me to the Land-of-Good-Smells?)'
