Nothing'Is so appealing to grown Ionian or woman as scenes that recall .: ildhood’s days. One loych of na- I'lre and the man—the woman goes ha« k to the days of mud pies, patches ana freckles, stone bruises and green ^i.'ippleB. A boy, a man—a girl, a wo- it!v:.n. It’s only a thought between itchlldhood and manhood. How the •iiuart warms up to the fellow you jj-nint from home I Yon forget the gray creeping from temples upward. KYou forget for the time you are on The shady BiJe of the hill—that you ^have gone to the apex and are slow- !v descendUig on the other side. You look upon him as you did when >ou were boys In the little old town you both loved. You talk over old times—its Joys, Its «orpows. There's always morfi of the gladness than Floom to remember. You're always better for anything that carries you back even though oiily in memory -to the days of your youth. It took a nrtwetpel man to pnt on a sci-ne—a sketch—a play or whatever t#>rm fits it to revive just such reeling as the writer has endeavored to explain. When the old maid got scared at *he monkey and the chil- dr»*n passed up their nickels to his ‘monkeyshlp—when the organ played nod the children sang "The Sunshine ^of Paradise Alloy." Although some |of the boys and girls were bkickened to represent ne.eroe6 I'll be darned if I didn’t feel a tear hot and wet fall on ipy hand and I'm not ashamed of it It came from my eye and a heart I t-ating faster and warmer forced It was not a tear forced by regret or sorrow—just a big tear that came vUh a swelHnp in the throat as re- co’lertions of bygone days and pleas ant nights flitted through a mind -clouded with years of worry between ^hen and now. If the minstrels only presented that one scene, Paradise Alley, (the program terms It some thing else) they would be worth the price and then some. It’s worth more the prlc© of a ticket to the minstrels to be a boy again, even though lt» only for a night. A1 Q.

Sept. 18.—A speedy •.id iUKtment of the troublesome bound- dispute between Haytl and San Ikjipingo, which dates back for years ;jiid has several times threatened to (•tuDCc the republic into war, is ex- t«d to follow the arrival in Wash- inRton and qnalifications of Solon M^nos, the newly appointed Haytien iiilnlatpr to this country. .^ome months n?o when the quarrel ibr*twe'‘n the two countries became acut.' aud e^ch was rapifily assemb- liH:: »roop>i on tht> border, the state pii' forth Its Rood offl- Vfi* and induced them to consent to arbitniiion of the boundary issue. iTbe n.inisters in Washington of the t-Aii ro',in»r1fs were named as arhltra- rs, with an nmi'iro selected by the l!»l iTi dcparfnieni.

Now that the new g*)v- fiument is established and a new mlnlf«ter has been appointed to suc- TfKvl Mr. Sanon in WashinKton. it is believed that, with the extended pow ers he possesses, the arbitration can bp resumed and brought to a speedy conclusion. “My Heart Goes Bunnp Inside.” That’s the name of the great son^ hjf of the musical show, ‘‘The Kiss "V^'altT,.” that will be a feature of hext Hunday's New York World. In the map azioe section of this greatest of all Bunday newspapers will be found a irnro «>f exclusive articles such as: • Tht* American Girl Who Won Lord Kitchener,” "Note Paper for Senato rial I.javers," “Pittsburg and New York." by Mrs. Mary C.

HOW AUTOS IN THE ONITED SHIES? (Journal of Commerce.) “How’ many automobiles are there In the United States?” is a question often asked but seldom answered with anything more definite than guess, or at least a somewhat unreliable esti mate. The question w^as recently asked of this paper by one of the country’s lead ing railroad officials, who was especial ly interested In learning something as to the distribution, of care throuphout the various states and the sums lock ed up in them by the owners. In the hope of arriving at data for a reply, the automobile department of this pa per made careful Inquiry in various quarters likely to be well Informed and though the replies appeared to be from equally reliable sources—the registration lists in the hands of the license bureaus of the several states— they ranged from less than 400,000 to almost 650,000. Just which of these lists Is the more accurate it Is difficult to suggest, nor does It appear why there should be 60 wi^e a discrepancy between two working lists in the hands of compa nies deeply concerned In keeping ac curately In touch with automobile own- lers. It is well known that some lists •contain duplication, owing ta the reg istration of the same car in more than one state, but it would hardly be ex pected to account for so wide a discrep ancy. Nor Is there available any reliable estimate of values of cars. A promi nent manufacturer, in a carefully pre pared eS'timate of this year’s output and Its value, recently predicted the output of 1912 at 210,000 cars, of an es timated value of probably $1,100 each, w'hereas he estimated the average val ue of this year’s cars at $1,533. Of course, these figures, which were based on accurate secret information, were for n*^w cars and did not contem plate second hand cars, of which there are many thousands still regis-tered ard in use and whose cash value is a mere fraction of what it was when they were first made. Regarded as in vestments, however, it would hardly be fair to rolponyhcedo be fair to rely on their “junk” value or the depreciated market value they have for further use. A careful canvass of people in the trade familiar with values Indicates that in all probability the total registration of cars would represent about $1,200 average invest ment today. This w’ould mean that there is.locked up in automobiles to day, on the the basis of the two esti mates of recclstration, from approxi mately $174,000,000 to $650,000,000. The two estimates referred to—the first one (List A) furnished by the no less in formed company in a na tional field—place the distribution by states as follows; List.
