She's been !4^S?di;awfrig 580 a month a» a typewriter * A^.evor since. Her address was 2318 Fedstreet, which turns out to be an K automobile salesroom. V;\ - The superintendent of the hospital ^i7*is Dr. Arthur E. Gammage, who draws i a year. A. E. Webb Is a stewfc i .i4-.ard af the hospital. |L ^ . Detectives engaged In looking Into various matters in the interest of effl- ^ • clency and reform report that Dr. I,"' >"! Grammage last January signed a certificate that he had formally vaccinated "Elsie" against smallpox. The certificate, signed personally by Gammage, was the only vaccination certificate signed by him In his five years at the hospital, the Investigators say. The detectives. Investigating "Elsie" and her work, found that' the pay checks were indorsed with that name and that below appeared the name "A. E. Webb." Both names were in the same handwriting. They had been put through a bUnk at which Webb does business, according to an official of the staff. And what do you suppose this official goes on to say about "Elsie?" Why, merely this: "We have the statement of several employees who say they were ordered to carry the name on the pay roll and to mark 'Elsie* present every day. *E2sle Smith' did not exist. She was simply an L. G. Smith typewriter used in the office" Dr. Gammage denied all knowledge of any pay roll padding. Nevertheless Health Commissioner Bundesen, who Is new to the Job, asked Dr. Gammage to take a leave of absence till "Elsie" could be completely investigated. Dr. Gammage refused. So Health Commissioner Bundesen suspended him. No Wonder They're Having a Good Time W. •|-\ENVER.--M. and Mme. Alexander Danlos of Paris are having •| the time of their lives visiting all ove» the United States. They were here to see J. H. Meyers. They arrived in ] New York September 31, and have vls- J Ited acquaintances of wartime days In New York, Boston, Pittsfleld, Syracuse, | Buffalo, Chicago, Green Bay, St. Paul \ and Omaha. From here they went to 'Colorado Springs, and then go to Salt jjfc-">• 7 Lake City, San Francisco, Los Ange- %'^i'I-as Vegas, Kansas City, St. Louis T y ». and Charleston. At each city they /expect to meet the boys whom they knew in France. E*'7- , M. Danlos Is a Paris lftwyer. He pgr* 7 speaks no English and his wife speaks gg Vbut little. Nevertheless they have |^7• bad no difficulty In following their - Itinerary. "You see," the French lifXiH woman explained, "If we get Into a ,•**' rn"rofld station find do not know what I*. 7 to do, we start to talk French as loud I7>. as we can. In a minute we see some young fellow grinning and then we know he has been In the American expeditionary forces, so we get him to help us out. Everybody in America UKhas been so kind to us that we feel at home wherever we go." • J. H. Meyers Is one of the Americans. who enjoyed the Danlos' hospitality in France. He says that their country place at Meusnes, in the center of die St. Algnan rest area. Is a bright spot In the memory of any A. E. F. man who was fortunate enough to have been billeted there. Madame Danlos, he says, was a nurse par excellent and that dozens of American boys received tender care at her hands. Since thetr wartime guests returned to the United States Madame Danlos has kept op regular correspondence with 00 of them. Sotae of as wake up Instantly, birt most of us have to lie for some time before we ure really awake. How quickly can you wake up? It has nothing to do with being a hero or a strong man, neither has it anything to do with laziness or beiug tired the night before. It all depends on our minds. > Every one of us has got two dlsttnfit minds, the front mind with which we do our ordinary daytime thinklug, and the back mind which conies into action only in the hours of sleep. Between the two minds lies a "door. When you go to sleep you pass into your night nilnd, when you wake up you step through the door into your day mind, and closer the door behind you. But with a great many of us this door between our two minds worked a little loose. The hinges of that door work slowly; it doesn't slam, and through It float out the broken remnants of your dream in hopeless confusion with the real life of the new day's worn. Then gradually, with an effort, you manage to pull yourself out of the fog and push the dream things back through the door. Then at last you are awake. This difficulty of waking varies with your circumstances. If something pleasant is going to happen to you in the coming day you can wake up comparatively easily. Your real self Is anxious to be finished with the dream world, to shut the door, and to wake to your good fortune. But when you are troubled, or expecting worry, your dream self invests your sleeping hours with a kindly mantle of romance to make up for the worries of the day. You are loth to leave that pleasant land of dreams, and consequently wake up slowly.

In the privacy of the parlor, yes--If she is willing--but emphatically not In the seat of an automobile. k Twenty women, representing the Woman's Christian Temperance union, the Young Women's Christian association, the Woman's dub of this city, the Travelers' Aid society, the Ministerial association, the Girls' Community club and the Young Men's Christian association met with Chief of Police John B. Hammond here and demanded In a resolution that the city council pass an ordinance prohibiting the loading of automobiles to the point "that the girls have to sit on the men's laps." The meeting was called by Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, state president of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. A petition addressed to the city council, now being circulated, states that Immoral conditions in Des Moines are largely due to practices' in automobiles and taxlcabs. "We call your attention to the rapidly growing evil of young girls riding In automobiles seated on the laps of young men," the petition reads. "This leads to undue familiarity , and tbe 'parked car' evil." "We believe that thdse dangers to our young manhood and our young womanhood can be very largely prevented by the adoption of proper ordinances with adequate penalties prohibiting the practices referred to." Members of the city council have not yet indicated what action they will take upon the proposed ordinance. "Paddle Your Own Canoe" and Get Husky lUTADISON, WIS.--Is he a white f * _ man? That's what the freshmen are asking. Of course, in time hid tan will wear off and the question will be answered. Well, anyway, by paddling a canoe 1,200 miles this summer, traveling alone and earning his way," studying to occupy his time In camp, Milton H. Erickson, of Beaver Dam, a student in the University of Wisconsin, found a way to build up his health and prepare himself to continue his college course. Pale, underweight, convalescent from Infantile paralysis, and almost too weak to walk any distance, be decided last June that he must do .something for his health. Starting out alone In • canoe, with $4.00 In cash and a small supply of food, he paddled until late In August--down the Yahara, Rock and Mississippi rivers, and back up the Illinois, Hennepin canal and Rock. He returned robust, strong and ready for * college .work. He earned his food along the way by cooking for campers, working for farmers, helping la a fish market, and doing anything that turned up. He re> turned with more money than he had at the start. His dally average mileage was large; one day be covered 00 miles. Along the way, he read 700 pages of history, 470 pages of psychology, two German books. As he is a pre-medlcal student, the extra reading gave him long start in his academic studies. Erickson attracted much attention along the way b^fgnse he paddled In swimming tnmks and soon was so tanned that he was scarcely recognised as a white man. Campers could not agree whether he was an Indian* Ner gro, Mexican or Japanese. Coffee Taste Improves. Americans are becoming coffee connoisseurs. Coffee is no longer Just coffee. It must now have bouquet, body and sufficient kick to satisfy those who like It strong. Or the heavy body and the caffeine content must be all but missing, while the aroma re* mains high and line, for those who like it weak. So sophisticated Is the taste of the United States becoming, says the New York Sun, that cheap coffee Is wanted less than ever before, and high-grade coffee that was previously sent to Europe Is reaching our ports at an unprecedented rate. There has been nothing less than a real revolution in the notion of the public as to what good coffee is. As • result coffee beans are sorted more carefully than ever before, and mild coffees with a high, clear flavor are belog increasingly shipped North. Most of ttie mild coffees of the trade come from the countries of the Gulf Coast, especially Colombia and Venezuela. A considerable quantity reaches us from Mexico. Authorities credit the roasters and the distributors with much,of the responsibility for changing the taste of the public. Stale coffee beans are now rarely sold, and the general public has a chance to know what fresh coffee tastes like. This was not 10 a generation ago. Airplane Landing. A recent invention permits the convent I onul landing gear with rubbertired wheels to be dropped from a plane in flight, the subsequent landing being effected with a pair of skids mounted beneath the plane, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The object is to eliminate the weight and wind resistance of the ustlal landing gear and to make possible landing In a short space and on rough ground. Landing on water is safer with skids than with the wheels, because of the lowerpd center of gravity, which reduces the tendency to turn the machine over on its end, the arrangement of shock absorbers, some of which are-double-acting, Interposed between the skidf and the body of the plane, is one of the most important features. In this design tbe propeller blades must be horizontal whed making a landing. All of the Fair 8ex Combined Paid Taxes to the Qoverirtnent in 1920 Jon Net Incomes Aggregating. ;7%? $2,188,160,662. Washington.--More than half a mil* Hon single women in the United States paid Income tax In 1920 and many of them paid on Incomes of fabulous size. The precise number Is 603,090 ahd the aggregate of their incomes reached the astounding total of $1,264,955,727. These are all In the class which statisticians of society would class ordinarily as "dependent females"; that is they are not rich wives nor heads of families. For to the full total of woman taxpayers the others mnst be added. Woman heads of families, that is, widows with children or daughters supporting parents, paid tax to the number of 132,181 and their aggregate net Income amounted to $388,364,530. Lead by Millions. In cases where ..'Ives have estates or earnings separate from their husbands they frequently make separate returns. Those doing so In 1020 numbered 77,558 and their aggregate income $534,840,405. These figures reveal- that the sipgle women were the richest of all by many millions. All of the fair sex combined paid t».xes to the government on net Incomes aggregating $2,188,160,662, but the wives and widows together only showed threequarter^ as much Income as the girls. The year 1920 Is the latest for which income statistics are available. The government In issuing these statistics Is compelled to put them in such form that the Identity of the rich recipients of the great Incomes Is not revealed. Uhder the law. Income tax returns are deeply confidential. Nevertheless, the statistics can be studied to bring Interesting facts to light. They Indicate that the richest woman in the United States, or at least, tbe woman who received the greatest net income wac single. The statistic* do not reveal whether she was young and beautiful, or a forbidding o^d maid. What they d* reveal is that she had nn income somewhere between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 a year. This does not mean that she merely was worth between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000; but that ^ach year added that vast fortune to her estate.

AY CITY, MICH.--How a wealthy Bay City manufacturer recovered his stolen $20,000 yacht in a fight In a Canadian port with a gang of rum runners who were using It to smuggle liquor into tbe United States has Just come to light. A man posing as a wealthy Detroiter and driving an expendve touring ear tailed on William J. Sovereign, president of the Aladdin company here, to charter his yacht, a 70-foot cruiser, for two weeks for 8 cruise for himself and family, witb tbe understandthat i* the craft suited him be buy It. As a measure of security for the yucht. the charterer left his automobile with Mr. Sovereign. Two weeks later the charterer returned, told Mr. Sovereign that the yacht was in dry dock at Detroit, and, since he had concluded not to buy It. asked for the return of his automobile. Mr. Sovereign went to Detroit. The yacht was not In dry dock, but marina records showed that it bad registered going down through the Welland canal to Port Colhourne, Canada. The yacht was located at Toronto, but Its recovery became a problem since the yacht had entered the port illegally. Sovereign gathered a gang of roustabouts and they swooped down on the yacht Just as it was preparing to take on a cargo of 500 cases of whisky. The yacht had made several trips and had made a profit of $20,000 for the smugglers. Posing las a runner returning with a cargo, Sovereign had not the slightest difficulty navigating the Canadian wa terways. o»e WM lriauiUf, e««f cordlaK, '."7" " ~7r "-7 Cost of America's Wars.

He will take "Epileptic" along. who are married but Who make returns separate from their husbands. Purposely, the figures r.re combined s«# that the Income of each cannot be ascertained, but each of them has an income somewhere between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000. a year. In the same class is a single woman. The next in line are two women classified as heads of families; which means either widows with children, or daughters supporting parents, brothers, sisters or other relatives. These two ladles each receive Income of from half to three-quarters of a million dollars a year. Who Are They? '"Now ^ comes a fascinating group 1 There are 15 single women in one classification each of whom has from half to three-quarters of a million dollars Income a year with no one to support and, apparently net a care in the world. Who are they? The printed column of statistics reveals nothing. Are they actresses? Are they stars of the movies? Are they only daughters of fond, deceased parents? There are 15 of them somewhere in the United States. Yon may be ran ove«* by .one's automobile. There seems to be no lack of millionaires among tbe women. In this group, that Is, a class of women wbo have approximately $1,000,000, the single ladles again predominate. Millionaires usually have Incomes of tibout $100,000 a year. There are 1,811 of these single women who have such Incomes. Wives making separate returns rank next They number 174. The way in which a family cuts down one's opportunities to amass a fortune is strongly exemplified in the fact that there are only 50 woman heads of families who can lay claim to the millionaire class. Here is a curious fact which the income statistics reveal. The term millionaire has become a popular one In the United States. It has a certain glamor. Apparently both. men and women have striven particularly hard to attain this classification. They have bent every effort to reach it and. having done so, have not been s» eager to go higher. This is revealed by the fact that the numbers of millionaires are out of all proportion to the income class either immediately below or immediately above. This would Indicate that the million mark has become a standard. Take the single girls, for instance. There are 67 in the clasj Just under the million mark, 181 In the million class and only 58 in the next higher class. In the group of wives making separate returns, there are 68 In the submilllon class, 174 in the million class and only 51 in the next higher class. The (time is true of the heads of families. There are 20 in the submillion class, 50 In the million class, and only 11 In the next class above. The rule Is even more marked In the case of men. In the submilllon class there are 658 men, in the million chins 1,372, and in the next higher .class only 866. These are married men. The single men show 113 In the submilllon class, 296 in the million class and only 78 in the next class. \ This Is the more striking In that the Income classes, as to every other gradation of Income, rise In about the same ratio. All except that million mark! Many Are Stenographers. Probably the most fascinating ffcet about the Income of single women is that the great bulk of those having Incomes are In the stenographer class. This is a new economic development of the utmost interest. Only a few years ago there was no such class of money earners at all. They are a new social phenomenon in the world. The statistics do not classify occupations closely, but a shrewd gues« can be made from the size of the Income. Without exception, the most numerous class of feminine taxpayers are single women with net incomes ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 a year. It seems obvious that these are the stenographers and private secretaries that decorate the office^ of modern business and •helf make the wheels go round. It is tbe flapper class I And' these Miss Lulu Vass Rayllng of New Preston, Conn., who ^ described herself as a real estate agent in a $150,000 bankruptcy petition, recently had her Rrst hearing in New Haven. It was shown that she operated apartment hpuses in New York City, usually at a Toss, and that foe had moved 63 times In a twoyear period. £«««>* mm « m m m 1 statistics would appear to furnish what all the moralists have been looking for; the economic or other Justification for the flapper. The figures show -that the flapper stenographer makes more money than any oth& class of women. In 1920^.342,068 of these flapper stenographers paid income tax. Their aggregate Income amounted to $475,640,100--nearly half a billion dollars or enough to pay the interest on the allied debt. That a good many of these assist In the support of families to the extent that they are classed as heads of faithilies is shown by the' fact that they are the most numerous of that group of women. There were 79,446 in tbe same general income class who made returns as heads of families; doubtless supporting parents or younger brothers and sisters. *The fact that among the wives making separate returns this also is the largest Income class is taken as an indication of the large number of young married women who have kept their stenographic Jobs and continue to run their awn financial affairs. There were 20,547 in this class and they had an aggregate Income of $30,294,207. POLISH LAD AGAIN IS BARRED Wi iSfM--.. - ...

Among the sealers Of Newfoundland certain figures loom gigantic. Such a one is Capt. Arthur Jack man, dead but never forgotten. Long before I reached Newfoundland on the steamer from New York, I began hearing about Jackman's incredible exploits. Many people in St. John's told me about him. And at the ice the sealers were constantly recalling bits of the Jackman legend. Jackman seems almost a national hero, It was Jackman, most famcms of seal killers, who once when he had an Infected thumb called for a hatchet and calmly chopped that thumb* off, "standin' dere on de ship's brudge, sir, barehanded an' In a'green split-tail coat.'* It was Jackman who once knocked a man down into the hold, jumped after him, flailed him around; whereupon the man sank all his teeth in Jackban's leg and went raving crazy. The sealers tell you how Jackman was never drunk at sea or sober on land; how he used to trick ail the other sealing captains and clean up the patch before they could reach It; how one time though short of coal himself, dumped 20 tons on the Ice for a rival captain to pick up; how another time, when the funnel was ripped off by a blizzard, he built a, wooden funnel and carried on to suecess. , "Roughest man in the world, sir/ but inside of him a real man! Seven foot high he was, wld a* hand like a bucket. Big-boned, sir, an' hard as de devil's 'id. Only one man ever licked 'lm--dat was a Scotch engineer he locked Into de cabin to give a beatin'. to. De engineer hammered him stiff, and Jackman loved him fer It, "Honest as de sun he was, an' true as steel! He had prayers every night, sir, an* ylt he had a calendar printed without no Sundays on un, at ahl, so dere wouldn't be no Sundayln' •bird. He'd putt de Sunday men oa de Ice, an' keep 'em dere ahl day. "Very polite he could be, too.

Hie Jackman epic Is -Interminable^ Jackman Is hy way of becoming a N%wfoundUttd' solar rtvyth. The reference to Sunday men requires explanation. Before the Sabbath law went Into effect certain men refused to kill seals on Sunday; and these were Sunday men. Today, seal killing is taboo on Sunday. --George Allan England, In Saturday Evening Post. . .7 '(y<A <0* JijfV .'-W " •j W7 ip * ^J'V.7 ; I' • ' V ?

EdwaM is an orphan and has been a waif for six years. Always In Ms travels there has been a vision of America, his goal. Four times he tried to get past the immigration station at New York city. Forr times he was turned back. Edward recently arrived from Poland. He slipped aboard a ship in Enrope and told the officers of the boat that his "sister" had his ticket. Thereafter he ate, slept, had bis hair cut, and ate the ship's candy, all at his "sister's" expense, until the purser discovered that the "plater" was a myth. They locked him In a stateroom. He kicked out the door panels and escaped. The captain put a leg Iron on him and again locked him up. It was this way that he arrived In the United States for the fourth time, only to be placed with a group of other Ittoslgrants to be deported.
