{ mers and she has always had the am-
bition to own a good farm. She
wants to hay one, preferably in Ohio,
but it will not be a gentleman's es-
tate. She will expect it to pay run-
ning expenses, even if it does include
such luxuries as a swimming pool and
a tennis court. She intends to have
cows and chickens, and will milk some
of the former. She also intends to
make her own sausages, but was un-
aware until it was pointed out to her
that this would naturally involve the
keeping of some pigs. So a few pigs
will be kept, although they are not
nice except when met in the refined
surroundings o f sausage casing.
There will be plenty of flowers and
vegetables, and horses, because Miss
Talley likes to ride.
Miss Talley says that she will not
invest all her savings in the farm and
declined to say what these savings
are. They have been estimated as
between $300,000 and $400,000. She
has had great earning power in the
past few years, and her tastes have
not been expensive. The white lights
of Broadway have had no attractions
for her. So she is, in fact, renounc-
ing a life of hard work. She has

earning $50 a month in a church
choir. She went to Europe to study
and worked harder than ever. When
she returned to the United States and,
had her great triumph in the Metro-
politan she toiled still more strenu-
ously with her music and also with
the foreign languages which it was
necessary that she should master. So
far no romance has entered her life,
but it is possible that some Ohio yeo-
man may infuse her with the rapture
that the city slickers have so con-
spicuously failed to inspire.
NEW LIQUOR LAW LIKE for both sides. Special cases added
fuel to the flames of the controversy
FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT which was in a few years to bring
about the civil war. James Hamlet,
a negro who had lived in New York
for many years was seized, adjudged
the property of Mary Brown of Balti-
more, and shipped to her before the
New York public grasped what was
going on. Thereupon a public fund
was opened, Hamlet was bought and
returned to New York. With regard
to this law as with regard to prohi-
bition there were those who urged
that to attempt nullification was the
unpardonable sin. The law might be
wrong, but as long as it remained on
the statute books it should be obeyed.
Others declared that it was evil and
that to obey it was to be
false to the
highest principles of human life.
This was seventy-eight years ago, in
the great land of liberty, where his-
tory is being repeated.
No law passed by the United States
eolagress since the Volstead Act has
excited so much discussion as the
Jones act. Its main provision is that
offenders against the liquor law may
be imprisoned for five years. Its in-
tention is to make prohibition effec-
tive. Just how it will work out it is
difficult to say. When it was enacted o
there were reports from many parts
the United States that bootleggers
were going out of business. While trey
could face a fine of a few hundred dol-
lars and maybe a couple of months in
jail they quaked at the prospect of a
e•
Then
'$10,000 fine and a five-year term. Th
later reports were that the bootleg-
gers were not actually going out of
business but would compromise by
raising their prices. But there are
many who have no particular sym-
pathy for bootleggers, who believe
that the law is unduly ferocious.
Among them is a committee from
the New York Bar Association, law-
yers of high standing who have vol-
unteered to defend selected persons
brought to trial under the Jones act.
These volunteers are being in turn
praised and denounced, and an offi-
cial of the Anti -saloon league has de-
clared that he will ask the Bar as-
sociation to take action against them.
The lawyers themselves and those
who approve them say that they are
doing just what their ancestors did
in 1850 when the fugitive slave law
was passed. This was an act which
recognized the right of a slave owner
to recover his property wherever he
might be discovered, whether in a
slave state or an anti -slave state.
Legally there was no doubt about the
correctness of the act. When the thir-
teen colonies united to form the Unit-
ed States of America some counten-
anced slavery and some did not. One
of the formal agreements that bound
them together dealt with the slaves.
Ownership in them was to be recog-
nized by all the states, and a fugitive
-slave found in Massachusetts would
be held and shipped back to his own-
er in Virginia or elsewhere. Had
this pledge not been given the slave
colonies would not have entered the
union. That this contract was sol-
emnly binding upon all states was
held by those who opposed slavery,
except the rabid abolitionists. Abra-
ham Lincoln recognized it as a com-
pact binding in honor and in law.
The act was passed by congress
without much opposition, the repres-
entatives probably being unaware of
the tumult it was to provoke when the
anti -slavery states understood its pro-
visions. The first reaiction—as (we
are glad to say the people of that
time did not call it—was when law-
yers offered to give free legal advice
to any slaves caught in an anti -slave
state. This was the beginning. In
a short time state after state had
passed laws designed to nullify the
federal act, and in many cases suc-
ceeded in doing so to the intense in-
ilignation of the slave states. Some
of these states made it a crime for
the warden of a state or county pris-
on to permit a federal officer to lodge
a 'fugitive slave in a cell. Vermont
made it a crime, punishable by a long
term of imprisonment, for county at-
torneys to neglect their duty of fight-
ing to the last ditch every federal ef-
fort to enforce this law. Neverthe-
less, the law remained on the statute
books until the civil war was being
fought, and then instead of being re-
pealed was nullified in rather a cur-
ious way. The amendment denied
captoias the right to lodge fugitive
slaves in federal jails, and forbade
United States marshals to catch them.
With all state officials bound to leave
them alone, and all state institutions
closed to the captors of slaves, there
-remained no authority actually to
seize them. That, we presume, is the
situation to -day.
While an acknowledgment that
slaves were private property was
made in the agreement that united
the revolting colonies, experience
showed the slave owners that this
acknowledgment and the law which
,embodied it were not sufficient to pro-
tect their rights. The law of 1850
was then passed. One of its most ob-
noxious features, and that designed
to make it most effective, was that
"bystanders" were commanded to "aid
and assist in the prompt and efficient
execution of this law." To aid a
slave's escape was to face a term of
six months' imprisonment. The slave
had no right of trial by jury. Two
affidavits that he was a slave and an
identification by his presumed owner'.
would make a free man a slave. The
decision as to whether a man was the
slave of a particular owner was left
to United States commissioners. If
they decided that a man was not a
fugitive slave, that fee was $5. If
they decided that he was the fee was
$10.
To strengthen the parallel between
the prohibition and the slave contro-
versy the Bible was copiously quoted.

1'OL'NG OPERA SINGER TO TURN
FA RMERETTE
Writing for Canadian rather than
Missouri readers, we can admit ignor-
ance as to whether Marion Talley is
moth of a singer. When she made
her celebrated debut in grand opera
in New York three years ago, other
fellow -townsmen of Kansas City
chartered a $50,000 train to be pres-
ent. They greeted her with sensa-
tional, even hysterical acclaim. Our
recollection is that the music critics
were less fervent, and it seems to us
that even the more glowing of the
critical opinions suggested that she
would improve. It was contrary to
the best traditions, of grand opera
that a young spinster, without, pre-
sumably, any thrilling experience to
remember, could be expected to rival
those heroines who only began to
know life after they had suffered. It
is an axiom that an artist to be su-
preme must have lived boldly, or
the
grandly,
gr is thateg eswith this ywhatever
par-
ticular jargon in which we are in-
dulging for the moment. The plain
suggestion was that after Marion
Talley had become the mother of as
many children as Schumann-Heink, or
had duplicated the emotional experi-
ences of Peggy Joyce, she would be a
wonderful singer.
It seems likely that the world will
never know just how wonderful Miss
has
e she
Talley could be sine
an-
nounced her intention of retiring from
grand opera and settling down on a
farm. It is possible, of course, that
she may do what other artists he •: e
done in the past, retire temporarily
and then return to the scenes of her
great triumphs. It is also possible
that the story of the retirement is a
press agent's device. But we doubt
it. We suspect that Miss Talley has
become bored with the kind- of suc-
cess she has achieved. We suspect
that she is not at heart a true artist.
If she were the cows and chickens
would not lure her away from the
stage. If the celestial fire were con-
suming her. as it is supposed to con-
sume all creative artists, it would not
be quenched by thoughts of having a
private swimming hole of her own ev-
nn if it were to be voluptuously lined
with the most expensive tiles. Miss
Talley, in short, seems to have the
temperament of a successful farmer
and will probably remain on the farm
Thomas Nelson and Sons, Ltd., have
if once she retires to it.
Her present contract will expire in just published a series of small books,
May and she will make her last pub-
lic appearance in Cleveland. Her de-
cision to retire was arrived at in a
hurry. A few days ago as she was
leaving the Metropolitan opera house,
the secretary of Gatti Casazzra, di-
rector of the opera, arrived bearing
with him a contract for next year's
engagements. There were other peo-
ple waiting for her and she said she
would see him later about it. Then
was born the grand idea. She had
always meant to retire sometime.
Why not do it now? So the next day
Mr. Casazza was notified that the con-
tract would not be renewed. Miss
Talley said that there was no quarrel
with the manager or any of the other
operatic stars. There was no disa-
greement about money. There was
simply an overwhelming conviction in
the heart of Miss Talley that she was
all fed up and that nothing could in-
duce her to face another operatic sea-
son. Her own family, apparently,
knew nothing about the idea until
Marion announced it. Her father,
who, we note with some cynicism, re-
mains working as a telegrapher for
the Missouri Pacific, admitted that be
knew nothing of her plans. But then
Marion is 22. She occupies a modest
apartment in New York with her
enother and an elder sister and does
her share of the house work. because
there is no maid and she rather likes
the work.
Maybe that is why she expects 'her
+'ether to like his work, and maybe he
Ines. Maybe, also, he would like to
retire to a fine farm, hut no rumors
of this have reached the news agen-
cies. Marion says that although she

of rookies at this amaaon. It has
some thing to do with the riddle of
personality, with the ivatelligenee and
character of the prospect. Re may be
a magnificent mechanical player, but
unable to think for himself when the
winning of a game may depend upon
an instant decision. Or he may be
one of those fellows to whom discip-
line of any kind is odious, or who
thinks that nobody can teach him any-
thing.
As illustrating the importance of
coaching to a young player, Thomas
mentions the case of Al Simmons, now
one of the best batsmen and fielders
in the majors. Thomas was manag-
ing a club in the Texas league and
still scouting for Mack when Simmons
came to him from Dakota, with a
perfect fielding average in 99 games.
The first day he was in the outfield
for the new club, he paid no attention
to a long fly that landed between left
and centre fiields for a three -base hit.
When he returned to the bench Thom-
as reviled him and said that it was
easy to see where he had got his field-
ing average if lie made no effort to get
a difficult fly. Simmons replied that
he had never a chance to get the ball.
Then Thomas explained to him that
there are airpockets which sometimes
slow up the 'ball that seems good for a
home run, and gusts of wind that
sometimes will carry what seems to be
a short fly over for a homer. The
moral is that an outfielder must cul-
tivate something of the airman's sense
and in the meantime never miss a
chance. Simmons ' was sensible
enough to profit from this advice and
is to -day one of the smartest outfield-
ers in the major league.

BOOK LOVERS' CORNER
(By Marjorie M. Powell)
"A Good Book is the ]Best Companion"
The aftermath of the Russian re-
volution, with all its -attendant hor-
rors and needless crimes, is vividly
portrayed in this thrilling novel by
Harold Macgrath. Many will remem-
ber the interest his story, "The
Dreams of Jeopardy," aroused. That
was the tale of two famous emeralds
and their malign influence.
Cutty, Patrick Henry Clay, Amer-
ican Secret Service Agent K2, is the
hero of this continuation, and he a-
gain performs astounding feats, es-
capes from an unescapable Moscow
prison, rescues a little Grand Duke
from the revengeful clutches of a
mad woman, and discovers a love for
himself after years of pursuit of an
illusion.
The story is not really as lurid as
the title and jacket suggest. It is
an absorbing and thrilling tale, well
written and quite worth reading.

Another Holiday in the highlands.
Again Maurice Walsh transports us
to the beautiful loch region of Scot-
land. There we fish, tramp, motor
and philosophize with his characters
and are refreshed.
The story opens with the descrip-
tion of the landing of an eighteen -
pound salmon by a stalwart angler,
Aelec Brands. "From first to last
that fight lasted all of twenty min-
utes and not a single minute wast-
ed."
But Aelec and the fish were not the
only ones engaged in combat. Two
cousins, Alistair Machan and Don
Webster, had come to blows and by
an unlucky lurch on a slippery store,
young Alistair falls, hits his head.
Unconscious, Aelec carries him to his
cottage, where Aelec's niece, Marg-
aret, attends him during his enforced
rest. Margaret is drawn into the
social life at the manor where young
Alistair is heir. Paddy Joe. a de-
lightful Irishman, and Norrey Carr, a
celebrated success are holidaying
there. It takes Margaret and Alistair
some time to realize their love for
each other and for Norrey to settle
her affections on Paddy Joe, quite the
most worthy recipient of them. We
have many expeditions while all this
is working out. The everyday life of
these people is clearly described, in
other words, we know them and all
readers who liked "The Key Aibove

Walsh. published by W. and R. Cham -

MOUSE IN HIS PANTLEG CAUSED
HIM TO SPEED
A cool head is a valuable motoring
asset but there are times when the
coolest among us get panicky. Carl
Hostetter, of Rockford, Ill., is a big
fellow who drives a truck, and recent-
ly he was driving like sixty. Motor
Officer Kremly caught him; glowered
and began shouting favorite phrases.
"Don't talk!" said Carl, "I'm in a
predicament! I had to go fast. Of-
ficer, there's a mouse up my pantleg."
"This indeed is a ticklish situation,"
said officer Kremly, taking his knife
and slicing Hostetter's pantleg. A
mouse, released, fled. "I'm
much
obliged to you," said the big truckman.
"There will be no charge," replied
the officer, tearing up the ticket.
Another man who stuck to the wheel
under much more terrifying conditions
was Dave Carson, driver of an oil
truck in Nyack, N.Y. He turned out
to be the village hero because. un-
mindful of his own peril and heeding
the danger facing several hundred
persons, he drove his oil truck which
had caught fire in the business section
of the village at full speed to the
autskirts of the town while the frames
licked their chops in the breeze cre-
ated. To make everything just per-
fect Carson was not badly injured.
Philadelphia is such a big city that
it is rapidly beginning to create quite
a large impression in the minds of
traffic policemen. A motorist return-
ing from a trip along the north shore
of Massachussetts reported that an
officer in one town stopped him and
asked him where he was from. "Phil-
adelphia," he answered. "Then why,''
demanded the constable, "have you
got Pennsylvania number plates?"
When Richard Castro's brother gets
back from South America the auto-
mobile that he loaned Richard will be
virtually just where he left it. It is
going to stay at a garage in Sausalito,
Calif., for the next ninety days. Rich-
ard was found guilty of rekless
driv-
ing and the judge imposed a fine of
100 plunks, relenting, however, when
he learned that Richard had a wife
and two kids and could not make that
grade financially. Rather than work
a hardship on the family, the judge
suspended the fine on condition that
Carson leave the car in the garage
for the next three months. That puts
an end to Richard's Cinderella stuff,
because now he won't have the use of
the car at all because his brother will
be back before the ninety days are
up.
Another man who is annoyed about
his luck is John Bahu, a coal miner of
Staunton, I11. He parked his auto
within range of a goat and the hungry
animal consumed his tire cover for
its noon day meal John is suing.
Animals were the cause of another
suit in New Haven, Conn. Four real
live "road hogs" got William Green
into trouble when he was trying out a
dealer's new automobile. In endeav-
oring to avoid four fat pigs which
strolled on to the highways just east
of the city, Green wrecked the car.
The dealer is now trying to recover
damages from the owner of the anim-
a`,s.
Louis Hoyt, of Haverstraw, N. Y.,
is fed up ,with having his garage loot-
ed. Twice burglars have broken in-
to it and robbed Louis of its contents.
But Louis has obtained two ferocious
grizzly bears in anticipation of a
third attempt. They are kept in cag-
es and are released nightly to roam
about the garage.
WORK OF BALL SCOUTS MORE
DIFFICULT YEARLY.
This is the season of the year when
the ball fan reads with dismay that
such -and -such a promising recruit has
been let go or farmed out to a minor
circuit. His dismay is produced by
recalling the glowing stories of this
same recruit forwarded by the press
agent that accompanies a ball club.
It is , of course, the business of the
press agent to promote interest in the
team, not to select it. That duty falls
upon the manager who Knows a good
deal more about ball players than even
the most enthusiastic press agent. In
the past few weeks the work of scores
of 'baseball scouts has been tested and
usually with unsatisfactory results.
In the regular playing season these
scouts roam the country looking for
promising players. Likely prospects
will be bought for spring delivery.
There they will come tinder the inspec-
tion of the manager in competition
with the stars among the veterans.
Some of them will be kept, but most
will be returned for further seasoning
or released outright. Year by year
it seems to be getting more difficult
to dig up Ruths, Cobbs and Matthew -
sons.
One reason fqr this, in the opinion
of Ira Thomas, 'veteran scout for the
Philadelphia Athletics, is that the col-
leges of the land are no longer turning
out players like Eddie Collins. About
the last good one to be located in a
college, according to Thomas, was
Owen Carroll, who is no stranger in
Toronto. The brand of baseball play-
ed by the leading colleges is much
lower than it was twenty years ago.
This is because the rules are too strict.
Poor boys who want to play semi-
professional ball in the summer to
earn enough money to put themselves
through college are frowned upon.
Eligibility rules and conferences have
put an end to the practice, and while
some students evade them they have
to do so by playing under assumed
iiames. So it is to the minor leagues
that the scouts resort, and more likely
to a league far down in the classifica-
tion than to those nearer the majors
in• the general grade of players. One
reason for this is because in the high-
er leagues there are apt to be many
former major leaguers, while in the
lower grades some star may be play-
ing his first professional engagement.
It is the unknown star that the
scout desires to discover. A player
who rises steadily from one grade to
another will be already famous before
he reaches the majors and a fortune
may he demanded for him. Connie
Mack had a great faculty of picking
up players when they were at the
beginning of their sensational careers,
though the gift seems to have deserted
him for some time'. Speaking of the
high grade minor leagues, Thomas
said to C. William Duncan, who has
told the story in the Philadelphia Pub-
lic Ledger, that the hardest thing to
find in them is a pitcher with speed.
With the exception of George Earn-
shaw there was not a real fast ball
pitcher in the minors last year, ac-
cording to Thomas. In the old days
there were always plenty of players
in the minors with lots of stuff on the
ball. They wanted training in many
fine points of the pitcher's art, but
they had speed. If this is not now
the case the reason probably is that
all the authorities who express their
opinions insist that speed will never
get a pitcher anywhere. What he
needs is control and a knowledge of
the batters in the International league
for instance, is not going to be of
much use for a year or so to a pitcher
who goes into the majors.

TRiP AROUND WORLD
The automobile is a pretty sturdy
steed. Not that it is noticed so much
on this continent, but it is receiving
a very heavy burden of competition
in the eastern countries of the world.
It is not only surviving but it is in-
creasing its Oriental population by

service.
—With Royal Masters you will enjoy
care -free motoring not only this year
but for a long time to come.

Royal Masters cost more than any
other tire made and you cannot expect
them as standard equipment on your
new car.
Any dealer will, however, be glad to
equip your new car with Royal Masters
as an extra. You will find the addi-
tional cost one of the best investments
you have eves. made.
You are never far away from a.
