' James Moore, the Dlnty of the cafe, was recalling customs of old time bartenders. There was one In s 84th street place who wore long underwear with tight drawstrings round the ankles. In making change from the cash register he would be apparently puzzled over figures by Boratchtng his head. In reality he was letting a quarter elide down his nsok. In the fleet of bartenders at the old Gibson In Cincinnati there was one deft mixologist known to blades of the town as Flash McCracken. He was a one man show with running fire chatter and liquid juggling. One of his feats was to crack an egg and with one hand execute a twist of the wrist that separated the wolk from the white. And then toss the gooey mess In the air and catch It behind bis back. The most picturesquely named bar tender was "Silver King" of the Knickerbocker. His cognomen cams from his sliver hair tn natural mar cel. To see him "rainbow" a pousee cafe was to behold a triumph In true artistry. He is still around, living when I last heard from hirn on Tenth avenue. There was one subtlety the old time bartender invariably exploited. 'When a customer stepped Into a bar and Inquired for, say for example, George Ade, the barkeep would ex claim: "He Just went outl Often he wouM rush from behind the bar to the door and whistle down the street to catch him; More than like ly Ade or whoever was asked for had not been there in weeks. There never was a aaloon that whoever you asked for had not that moment departed. Park avenue went "western with a bang and ylpee this past sesaon. Phoenix.

Among New Yorkers gravitating around Phoenix were the Oene Tunneys, Wm. Thaw II. the Wm. H. Vanderbllts and the Elliott Roosevelt. Speaking of Clyde Beatty, he drop ped in the other day to leave a copy of bis book autographed "Prom ons Ohio hillbilly to another." Holly wood left no veneer of sophistica tion. He was buoyant over a place near the Garden where the yellow com bread and thick oream gravy were 1ST - MX 9 ' S 1 The Truth About County Relief rE criticism of the Jackson County Eelicf committee by Judge Fehl,' wag typical of the man. It consisted of a half-truth, dressed up oraftily to represent the whole truth, and circulated with the sole design of creating prejudice against this committee, and capitalizing ignorance and discontent for the political benefit of the county judge. In his statement the county judge tried to make it appear that this committee was granting a credit of $1.80, for the SOLE SUPPORT of two people for 15 days, and in character istic Fehlian language asked "How in h 1 this could be done." IT, of oourse, CAN'T BE DONE, and Judge Fehl knows it. . The committee is not attempting to do it, and Judge Fehl knows THAT, or he could have known it if he had gone to the committee, and looked up the record on the case he cites, but refuses to identify. But that isn't Fehl's way. He has no particular interest in the facts, but only how he can distort and misrepresent them. His interest in the truth is always exceeded by what he can make the unwary and uninformed, BELIEVE to be true. Let him identify this case, allow the committee to bring out all the facts, as James H. Owen, chairman of the committee suggests, and it will be plain to everyone, if not to him, that an allowance of $1.80 to support two people for 15 days does not represent, and NEVER HAS REPRESENTED, the policy of this committee. JUDGE FEHL knows or should know, that the R. F. C. funds made available through this committee 'for local re lief, are not in lieu of, but in addition to, all the available re sources of the county and the various families on the relief rolls. Or to express it in another way: Were the regular relief agencies of Jackson county, capable of taking care of ALL people in need of help, NO R. F. C. funds would be available. The government only steps in where local relief fails, and only to the extent THAT it fails. IF ANT given individual or family, is already being adequately taken care of, by the county, this committee does not give aid, for obviously aid is not needed. If local relief falls short by $5 a month, the committee supplies the $5, if by $3.60 a month, as in the case cited and so on, In this way the maximum number of needy people are given adequate relief at the minimum waste and duplication. It is merely putting local relief upon a common sense and business like basis, getting 100 cents of value for every dollar of relief money expended. fUDGE FEHL of course doesn't like this. He never has for ' given Governor Meier for appointing a representative and non-political committee, in Jaokson county to take over this R. F. C. relief, and intelligently coordinate all relief in the county. This prevented the judge from making a political machine out of county relief, and capitalizing suffering and discontent, for his politioal benefit. It also the relief funds himself, and distributing largess to all his faithful followers. Consequently he is doing everything he can, by secret agi tation and constant misrepresentation, to undermine the work of this committee, and arouse prejudice against it. DUT in this as in his other destructive efforts he is doomed to fail. The people of Jackson county know Jim Owen, at the head of this committee, and they know the other cnpable and public spirited men and women, who are assisting him in this important work. They know this committee has no polit ical axe to grind, no interest to serve other than to PROVIDE ADEQUATE RELIEF FOR ALL RESIDENTS OF THIS COUNTY WHO NEED IT. This they are doing. And thanks largely to their efforts, conditions of want and suffering in this community are steadily improving, for whioh those in dire need, as well as those who are not, are extremely grateful. R. W. R. Help the Health Association HPHE membership drive for the Jackson County Health asso- ointion is on nt 50 cents per head. Under present conditions health work is needed as never before. With so many people in distress, and therefore low in body and depressed in mind, susceptibility to disease is in creased. With such stringent economy imposed, the danger of mal-nutrition, particularly among children, is also inoreased The work of this association which is essentially disease PREVENTION, is therefore needod now as never before. WE HOPE this drive will be given the hearty support it deserves. This association has no paid workers of any sort, the officials serve without remuneration, as a matter of unselfish publie service. The organization no longer receives financial aid from the community ohest, but gives financial aid to the health unit. Dental olinica, baby clinios and health clinics are held. We feel quite sure the people of this county want this work to go on. They don't want it crippled, much less abandoned. But unless the association receives adequate financial sup port at this time, one or the other outcome will be unavoidable. THIS health work is a country wide movement. Jaokson county wss the pioneer county in this state, and its reoord is an enviable one. According to recent statistics published in "Time", the average cost of this work In 38 of the healthiest cities in the country during 1932 was $1.44 per capita. In Jackson county the average expense per capita has been 2 CENTS! This means that for a fifty-cent membership, an enormous amount of disease prevention work can be done, right here among our own people. Could half a dollar be spent to greater advantage in this oommunity at the present timet In the opinion of this paper, every family in Jackson county, not in actual need, should be represented on the membership roll of this association during the ensuing year.

A mere mother writes: "My lltle boy was left handed and wrote very well until h entered the second grade and teacher made blm change to right- handedness. He has lauen off In all his studies except arithmetic and does not seem to h able to .con centrate on any thing ..." The most diffi cult patient t o treat Is a young doctor In the first flush of success In practice. He &as enough knowledge to take a hand In tho case, but not yet enough wis dom to leave It entirely to the phy sician In attendance. One of the most difficult persons to educate Is the young school teacher . In the first flush of success in her profession, say after she has been teaching a few years. ' Teachers and educators generally .have always deferred to the opinion or advice ot the physician where any question of Illness Is concerned. A request or a certificate from the physician la always respected. But here la a condition which edu cators have long regarded as belong ing within their exclusive province. Teachers from away back have pounced on the left-banded child the Instant the uahappy youngster be trayed his Intolerance abronmally and Imposed upon him an unnatural right-handedness, regardless of the cost. Why have the educators done this? Oh; nobody knows. It's Just an old Spanish custom. On the other hand, can we prove that It Is Injurious In any way to force the naturally left-handed Ghlld to change to artificial right-handedness? We can't. So there you are. The fact that such forced change to right-handedness when the left handed child enters school has evi dently brought on stuttering and Im pairment ot other faculties in a large number of cases does not prove any thing, for It Is a fact that such un toward effects fall to occur In nearly or quite as many cases where teach ers are permitted to hound and ha rass the unhappy left-handed young ster until he or she gives a good Imi tation of right-handedness while un der the teacher's eye. After all. If a child is naturally left-handed why not let nature take ness. Vision Jets Into a kaleldoscopie blur.

To the Editor: 'The vrlter has read of the pro posal to widen East Main street and to provide a new lighting system for same. There are few people. I be lieve, who would not say that the business property situated in the block from Riverside to the bridge proper would be benefited consider ably by widening the street and also widening the bridge. However, it seems to me that there would be nothing to stop these property owners from widening their part of Main street to a width uniform with the remainder of Main street, and Inci dentally to pay for the bridge widen ing themselves. Instead of trying to saddle It on the general tax payer as has been repeatedly proposed. The Central avenue and 6th street prop erty owners had to pay for their re spective street openings and the writer feels that It would be very unfair to the tax payer to put the l V I EraTny--' a Test Your Driving Skill HOW MANY MILES CAN YOU DRIVE THE PONTIAC Economy Straight 8 On One Gallon of Gasoline Here's a contest where SKILL COUNTS...

On what grounds do we object to left-handednees In any cir cumstances? Educators would be quite as Justi fied In attempting to change left footedness to rlght-footedness as they are In compelling the left-handed child to write with the right only. If you are right-footed, try to write your name even In Imagination with the left foot, then with the right. The awkwardness ot the wrong foot will give you a faint cnoeptlon ot the handicap the left-handed child encounters when he Is compelled to use only the right hand for writing, drawing, sewing, molding or other skilled work. QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS Growth Means Life Is It possible for the hair and nails to grow after death? A' friend of mine tells a story . . (Mrs. C. D.) Answer No. If there Is growth, there Is life. Teacher Is Bight In my economics period the teach er stated that In a fatigued person some kind of poison Is produced by the tired muscles, and If this poison be Injected Into the vein ot another person It will cause the person to be come fatigued.' . . . (O. L.) Ana. All I know Is what I read in the standard Textbook on Physiology (Howell), which says that muscle energy Is obtained by oxidation ot glycogen and that lactic acid, one of the products of this oxidation, accu mulating In and about the muscle, Is concerned In the ' production of fatigue. A German physiologist, Wel chardt, Is quoted ss believing that a toxin Is produced by muscular con traction, and that this toxin, in the serum of the animal, produces char acteristic effects ot fatigue If In jected Into a normal animal. Measles Eight months ago my son had measles. I kept the room dark ac cording to the doctor's orders, but ever since his eyes look weaker. It t,hn measles weakned them should we have them examined by an oculist? If so, can you recommend a good one? (tfrs. P. P.) Ana. That's a quaint practice, keeping the room darkened wheu the patient has measles. Any such Ill ness may leave the eyesight tempo rarily weakened. It would be well to have the boy's eyes examined by an oculist. Send stamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for the name of a good one In your com munity. (Copyright, John F. Dllle Co.) ' coat of the bridge widening In the general levy. I see the argument used that "ten ants have moved from East Main street properties lately because of lack of parking space and narrowness ox the street." That la a lot of hooey, as East and West Main street from Riverside to. Holly is the same width and any tenants who have moved out of any of these Main street locations have done so on account of business conditions, and the width of the street has not had anything more to do with It than the war in China, The East Main street property owners, that is the ones from Riverside to Front street, will find that if they widen the street any number of feet, Xhey will not raise the rental value ol their property one cent and they will Just be throwing away the money which they put Into the project. Another thing. Where Is the money going to come from to pay for the improvements? I see that it is pro posed to secure it under the Ban croft act, which would mean issuing of bonds. Then, who is going to buy the bonds? As I understand It. It is practically Impossible to sell munici pal bonds at present and If the city could sell some bonds, would It not be better for them to use this money to cash their own payroll warrants and thereby relieve the city's own employees from the necessity of tak ing a discount In order to get their wages. And there is still another thing: Property owners would prob ably find before they got through that the cost of widening would be Phone 102 a great deal more than 13.70 per front foot; they would find themselves out a lot of money without any benefits and maybe actual harm by the nar rowing down of the sidewalk In front of their properties the street Is plenty wide for cars now. W. E. THOMAS. May 8th. Dog License Fund Not Depleted To the Editor: Contrary to reports published In the Tuesday Issue of the Malt Trib une on the front page, reported to have been emitted from the county commissioners, Mr. Billings and Mr. Nealon, I find on checking up In the clerks office that the collection so far this year taken in for dog li censes, even at the small fee set by the county court, which fee was pro posed by Mr. Billings, of 35 and 60 cents on each dog, has more than paid for the loss of sheep killed by dogs so far this year. And there still remains Jn the fund over $2000 for the protection of payment for stock killed by dogs. The facts am what the people are entitled to In Jackson county and the dog fund at the present time stands as follows: 92160 In the treasury; 917.60 paid out so far this year for sheep and goats killed by dogs. I doubt very much whether Mr. Billings and Mr. Nealon ever made the statement In the Mall Tribune or even heaid of It, so in fairness to ths commissioners, I am publishing the truth In regard to this situation. EARL H. FEHL, County Judge. May 5. Ed. Note: The only error In the news report mentioned was the statement that the fund for pay ment of such losses "was nearly de pleted.' This wss Incorrect, but It WAS stated to the Mall Tribune that "If such killing of sheep continued the fund WOULD be depleted." The Mall Tribune Is always glad to make a correction of any misstatement In Its columns, though this one It re gards as of a trivial nature, and certainly entirely unintentional.
