LORENZ First of 600 on Hand for Free Clinic, at Which 110 Are Given Care. At 1 o'clock this morning, with a cold, northwest wind blowing almost a gale, two cripples hobbled to the vestibule of the Department of Healt) Building, No. 505 Pearl Street, to wait for Dr. Lorenz's clinte to open nine hours later. They were the first of more than 600 who kept arriving until the doors were opened at o'clock. Only seventy-five cards had m issued but some fifty more had made appointments for examina tions and were admitted. The re: maining 500, most of them children, were sent away. This was the second of the series of clinics Dr. Lorenz has been hold- ing under the plan suggested by The Evening World, ‘This provides for free clinics at the Board of Health Building {n Manhattan Monday mornings and jn Brooklyn Wednes- days. ‘The patients came in all kinds of vehicles; some in their private autu- mobiles, others in taxis, the majority by subway, while many walked. ‘ome were wheeled in baby carriages ind Wheel-chairs, while in not a few cases mothers literally carried grown-up children upon their backs. The crowd became so large that thirty-five Department of Health po- licemen, under Licut. Gleason, were called to keep order, Dr. Lorenz was assisted by Dr. Jacob Gobel, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene, and Dr. Franklin B. Van Wart of the ortho- paedio divsion of Kings County Hos- pital ; Dr. Lorenz was almost exhausted whem he had finished the examination of 120 patients, There were still many left, but the aged Viennese surgeon found it impossible to con- tinue. Dr. Royal S. Copeland, Commis- sioner of Health, and Dr, Sobel an- nounced afterward that hereafter the yule that only seventy-five patients would be examined would be adhered to strictly. “Dr. Lorenz will break down under strain of such large clinics,” said . Sobel, “and although he is will- ing to examine 100 each day we do not believe he can do it without im- pairing his health. Therefore we shall not permit more than seventy- five after this to be presented to him. ‘Those who were disappointed to-day will be seen Friday.” Dr. Lorenz will hold his clinic at Brooklyn Wednesday. je “HOUSE BLOWN BY GALE INTO CREEK, INJURING SLEEPING FAMILY next Babe Least Hurt of AlI—At Another Jersey Town a Newly Completed Home Is Toppled Over, Three persons were injured when| the four-room frame house of Samuel} Edgar in Edgar Road, Linden, N.

Some things are not what they used to be. But the trouble with our Jokes, In Chauncey Depew’s opinion, is that they ARE what they used to be—just the same old jokes and not a | really new one among ’em! To ask Mr, Depew, one of the few survivors of our Lost Legion of after- jdinner wits and story-tellers, to dis- cuss the humor of the generations, I | invaded the office where, at a broad shouldered, rosy checked eighty- seven, he still does a full day's work as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the New York Central Railroad, With a smile he swung’around in the high backed desk chair, sitting more jerect than many a man of half his years, “Is the humor of to-day equal to| the humor of yesterday?” I began. “You have heard—and told—at least three generations of good stories, Are| the new ones we exchange in 1921 as) good as the old?” Chauncey Depew shook his head) sadiy. There aren't any new ones,” he sighed. ‘That's just the trouble. Men come to me with their hands over their mouths'’—he illustrated the coa- fidential pose assumed by the racon- teur about to “spring something’— “and they whisper, ‘Have you heard the latest?” And then’—resignation lay heavy on Mr. Depew's brow—“and then they tell me something I told myself fifty years ago!” “But you've told so many, Mr, De- pew," I protested. “To find a story you haven't used must be almost as difficult as to find a political trick Lloyd George hasn't turned. Aaa your memory goes back so far. You heard Lincoln stories. By the way, can't you recall a vintage story of the sixties—the kind of thing that made people laugh in those days?" “Lincoln told a great many such stories, but most of them are unprint- able,” frankly admitted:the octogena- rian, who was “a young man in poll- tics” in Lincoln's day. "You se he continued, Lincoln hated toargue, He always knew why a thing should be done, but he hated the trouble of ex- plaining to those who couldn't see the right course as quickly as he did. So, instead, he made his point through # funny story. “TI do recall one which he told to the group of New York bankers who visi- ted him in Washington at a time dur- ing the Civil War when It took three paper dollars to equal one gold dollar They wanted him to let some of the | gold out of the Treasury in order to | stabilize the currency, but he felt tho remedy would be only temporary and then conditions would grow even worse. “You remind me,’ he sald, ‘of something that happened out in my country. In [linois much of the Joke Styles Never Change, Says Dr. Depew, Admitting “New jokes are scarce because mod- ern conditions are nothing to joke Humorist, about.” 87 Years Old, “Prohibition has done much to injure Says, humor. Wit and wine have always Concerning gone together.” “There’s as much in the telling of a joke as in the joke itself.” “The feminization of our life has cut out the vulgar joke. Nevertheless I deny that women have no sense of humor.” Ones Himseif | tle incident during the Grant admin- istration,” he observed, ‘There was | & man named Bedell, who wrote a solemn, highly laudatory history of Grant's career. Ong night he went, with the President, to Billy Birch’ m nstrel show, in one of the Was ington theatres. As end man, Billy pulled off a little joke on Grant him- self, who didn’t hesitate to laugh at it, “But Bedell hissed. “Billy Birch tiptoed down to the footlights, cocked his head on one sde and looked directly at the White House party. Then he turned to the audience and remarked, ‘Ah! I see we have a hiss-torian among us this eve- | ning!’ | “That was the Age of the Pun,"| added Mr, Depew. "The pun, along) with other heavy things, was a prod- uct of the Victorian, or President | Grant epoch. The pun finally went out of fashion, as a popular Amert- ean joke, because people made such bad ones.” : When we come to the next decade, the eighties, Mr, Depew declared at) first that he couldn't think of a typ!- cal witticism. "I can’t just sit down and spin off stories, one after the other,” he complained, whimsically. “There must be some incident to suggest them to me." Since we had had @ Lincoln story and a Grant. story, I mentioned Cleveland as the possible source of some humorous yarn, “I never heard him tell a funny story,” de- clared Mr. Depew. “He was just the opposite from Lincoln—he'd rather argue than make a joke.” Then a glint came into the frostily ‘blue eyes. “I remember a story I used to tell myself, about that time," he admit- ted, “although I also told it earlier and T've heard tt later. About every dozen years this story wakes up and es A new lease of life. “It's the story of the fisherman who was drowned, and whose Wellficet | mates wanted to break the news gently to the widow. They came to her and explained that her husband was no more, adding that they had recovered the body but feared she wouldn't get any great satisfaction from it, ‘You see, ma'am,’ they added, apologetically, ‘he's all cov- ered with eels!’ “And then the widow kind of woke up, and she sald to thos: fishermen: ‘Is that so? Set him again!’ T. R.'s favorite story was another of what might be called the mortuary jokes, Mr. Depew repeated it when } asked him for a sample of the humor of the nineties. McKinley,” he prefaced, “never told a funny story in bis li He hadn't got it in him, But Roosevelt had a number. The one he liked best of all came from his ranch days. “A lot of cowboys got together and hung one of their number for horse stealing. Then, after the affair was «ll over, they found that the vietim was Innocent and another man had | which I know absolutely nothing, One taken the horses. They had to break n't remember the fok based on Prohibition. The subject is so painful that the mind dis- * misses it as soon as possible.” “Jokes an the making ont of income tax are not jokes at but shrieks of pain and rage.” “A good joke must be abso- lutely natural, but it must have a snapper and it mastn’t be lost in its scenery.” “The best subjects for Jokes 2 are sex and any topics of popular ine terest at the moment. A good, joke is never unkind.” a “Humor has grown less broad in modern times. The vulgar = +» joke has gone out, owing to the influence of women.” 1 arly years of the twentieth cen-] fhe limerick was once a popular fashion in American humor,” he re- plied. “Its passing was due, I think, | to the fact that it was so easy to make. | I soon found out that after I got the hang of it 1 could make a limerick as easy as I could think. Then I lost| interest in it, No, I can't even re-| member any of those I made.” | One of his own bon, mots which Mr. Depew did recall’ concerned a widow who came to his office to get his advice on the sale of a plece of real estate, ‘ve been offered a wonderful price | for jt," she told him. | “Then, my dear: madam, I should | advise you to sell," he replied. “But if I hold it, everybody says rl twice as much,” she argued. Why, then, hold it," advised Mr. Depew. “But I've got to sell ft, because I need the money!" she exclaimed. “Then I said,” Mr. Depew told me, ‘my dear madam, you'y made me change my mind twice within three minutes, and 1 don’t like to change my mind. [am afraid you cannot “et any advice from me, for you hava stiffened a conviction I already held, | that there are two subjects about | of them is real estate—the other is| widows!’ Another modern story of which Mr. ‘Depew is fond is the repartee ex- changed by two old friends of his William M. Evarts and Joseph Choate lumni respectively of Yale and Har-| rd. Choate brought Evarts to an alumni banquet, and when he roae to introduce his guest he said that he had never believed his old friend, « Yale man, would risk the coats of his stomach at a Harvard dinner, “Evarts got up,” Mr. Depew re- called, “and remarked that his friend Choate was perfectly right in his sup- position. ‘I wouldn't,’ he continued, ‘risk the coats of my stomach at a Harvard dinner. When I go to a Har- vard dinner I leave the coats of my} stomach at home.’ “Why,” I asked, “Is humor of the| present day so scarce an article as| you say it is?” | “The times don’t permit tt," he an- swered, ‘The war, the intensity of the business struggle, high taxes, Pro- hibition—all these things put peopl» out of the mood for funny stories. You can't joke at a funcral—unless,” added Mr. Depew, with a twinkle, “the transaction {s approved by the majority of those present.” “Prohibition has done much to in- jure humor, although I do not think it springs from the heavy drinks, such as whiskey and brandy, But wit and wine have always gone together. Of course, there is a whole new collection of jokes based on Prehivition, But T| can't remember any of them. The| subject is so painful that the mind] dismisses it as soon as possible “You spoke of high taxes asa deter- rent to huiwor,” I observed, “Yet ever so many jokes have been founded on the making out of the incom hose aren't jokes,” denied Mr, Depew. “Those are shrieks of pain) and rage!" | do you define a really good joke?” I asked of the man who has| made 80 many. \ “A joke,” he replied, “must be ab-| solutely natural, must spring out of the immediate cireumstances—but it) must have a snapp sas much | in the telling of a joke as In the joke| itself, Some people don’t pi are for it properly; on the other hand, I've seen many a good joke lost in its scenery. ‘As to the best subjects tor jokes, sex is eternally fittin en come any subjects of Interest at the mo-| ment—at this moment, for example, Prohibition and high taxes.

Mohrman, thirty-five, a recluse of Ozone Park, was taken to the Supreme Court to-day under es- cort of Deputy Sheriff Jacob Haas, after having refused to respond to an ocder to be examined In supplementary proceedings in two actions against him. Compelled to answer questions, he testified to the ownership of two | pieces of property at Rackaway Road and Martin street, valued at $11,500, to having $4,000 In one bank, nearly $100 in another and $300 worth of Liberty bonds, to collecting $98 a month in rentals and to getting $160 @ year from his father’s estate, Then he said that he lived in a stable on his property, it being too pensive to live in one of his houses, for which he gets $22 a month, and that his living cost him in the neigh- berhood of $1 a month. When or- dered to give the location of his property, he removed three big safety pins which held closed a Melton over- coat, which once had been a fine gar- ment, then detached six moro safely pins, opened a capactous pocket and pulled out a bundle tled with a news- paper.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1%. Tyo Chicago bandits who don't believe in Santa Claus to-day have in their possession $490 that had been raised to provide Christmas cheer for needy families of South Chicago. Patrick H. Moynihan, member of the Illinois Commerce Commis- sion, who for the last ten years has taken up a collection to buy coal and food for the poor of that quar- ter of the city, attended a meeting last night at which $490 was raised, While en route home he was ac- costed by two men who demanded the money. “You don't want this money,” argued Mr. Moynihan, “It's a col- lection for the poor kids out here who are hungry and cold. I'm South Chicago's Santa Claus." We don’t believe in Santa Claus," said the robbers, ij Moynihan handed over money.

Glynn and the Repub- the interests of the telephone com pany. The stenographic report of Mr. Goldbas's charges 1s, in part, follows: “In connection with the present tel- phone rate case now before the Pub- lic Service Commission, I say that the commission is aiming to help Gov. Miller in hig next candidacy. I say the Republican State Committee is endeavoring to influence men who are representing their constituents before the Public Service Commission, and I say that Chairman Glynn of the com- mittee 1s in attendance at times in ante-rooms at hearings before the Public Service Commission In an en- deavor to Influence some of the Cor- poration Counsel of the State in an endeavor to help the public to be muleted and assess rates that are be- yond the actual returns that should be given by the telephone company on its property used and useful in the public service in the State. The conference was called for the purpose of forming a home rule league for protection against mandatory legislation and bossism by the s0- valled ‘farmer legislators.” It was called to order by Mayor Hylan, who read « long speech, Ono of the salient features of the Mayor’e address was his suggestion that he “would recommend the adop- tion of a constitutional amendment granting the cities the right to own, operate and control their public util- ities and to purchase or take over by condemnation existing valuable util- itles.”* The Mayor declared with emphasis that the Public Service Commission and similar regulatory State bodies “should be put out of office immed!- ately.” Other Important points made by the Mayor were: ‘That responsible local officials in each city be vested with power to de- termine what |s a fair and reasona- ble rate for a public utility for that community. This would apply to tel- ephone, #48 and electric rates and, of course, ear far ‘That the question of teachers’ sal- aries be decided by the elties paying those sularies, and that salaries should not be mandatorily imposed by State Legislatures, That a constitutional amendment be adopted making !t necessary to trans- mit to the Mayor any legislative bill affecting one or more counties Includ- ed within the boundartes of the city By ati justification for ‘in- upon the Legislature reducing State's expenditures yo as ether to eliminate the direct tax or by get- ting revenue elsewhere to cover the expenditures.” The Mayor amazed his audience when he launched a vitriolle attack upon what he t at there is ried “an educath schoo) 2) * Mayor dit tine ty Y ring.” leas ing his hearers to speculate for them. selves.

Some new bicod, abreast of the times and with modern ideas, 1s badly needed if our school system is to be placed on a healthy basis.” Concerning his proposed ousting of Public Service Sommissions, rhe Mayor sald: . 2 “The rates for services of public utilfties should be controlled by local conditions, For instance, a rate for" telephone service which might be ap- plicable to the City of New York< j might be totally unfitted for Olean and vice versa, Therefore, let the t sponsible local officials in each city be vested with the sole power to di termine what is a fair and reasonab!o rate for a public utility for that con - muhity.”” In touching upon education, sald; “The present system of divided,,, power and responsibility for educa- tion! expenditures tends to extravi- gante and is both unsound and un«« workable.
