ANOTHER UNSUNG HERO
They called him “Big Jim” Tally down
in New York City’s famous East Side. He
had been there for years, washing automo
biles in a big garage. Apparently he had
no higher ambitions. His wages were $30
a week, and he found $10 of this enough
for food and lodgings. The other $20 he
always put in a bank each week until he
could get some itinerant “merry-go-round"
owner to set up his contraption in the
neighborhood of the garage where “Big
Jim” worked. Then he would draw all his
savings, hire the “merry-go-round" for the
length of the time his savings would per
mit, and turn loose on it all the kids in the
neighborhood for free rides.
“Big Jim" Tulley died a couple of weeks
ago. He didn’t leave even enough money
to bury him. But several hundred child
ren, as well as young men who had been
children within the veal's of the big-heart
ed washerman’s “merry-go-round" sprees,
saw to it that the potter’s field did not get
his body. Fifteen hundred dirty-faced ur
chins from the East Side held up traffic to
pay their last tribute to “Big Jim,” and if
there were streaks down the grimy faces
strangely suggestive of teal's they betoken
ed little hearts that were heavy because of
the passing of a real friend.
New York has no library dedicated to
the memory of “Big Jim” Tully. No art
gallery contains pictures to honor his name.
But enshrined in the hearts of thousand of
boys and girls there is the memory of a
kind-hearted, openhanded saint who in his
simple way taught them that great lesson
of unselfishness—“It is more blessed to
give than to receive ”
What has become of the old-fashioned
melodrama in which the mortgage wasn't
paid off until the last act?
The law of friendly trade is that profit
must be mutual for both buyer and seller.
OVER 90,000 BONFIRES
American forest week ought to be even'
week in this country. We are a prodigal
nation, but the most enormous waste of all
lies in the wanton destruction of our trees.
We write beautiful poems about trees,
then go out and leave a picnic fire burning
in a forest. Fifty thousand forest fires rage
annually.
The peak year of America’s favorite out
door sport of burning trees was in 1924,
when 90,000 bonfires roared in the forests.
Can you imagine 20,000,000 acres of burn
ed out trees, their blackened limbs against
the sky?
A burned out forest is the "‘abomination
of desolation.” What was so vast and beau
tiful, changed by carelessness into a char
red skeleton!
Compared to the careless match of the
10,000,000 people who seek recreation an
nually under the giant trees’ shade, the fire
and sword of the Tartar were a myth.
The trees of tomorrow are the seedlings
of today.
VOICES CROSS SE A §
It was eminently fitting that the fiftieth
anniversary of the telephone last month
should have been marked by the establish
ment of wireless telephonic communication
between New York and London.
While radio messages through powerful
broadcasting stations have been transmit
ted far greater distances, the holding of
regular conversations across the sea by
wireless telephony has just been achieved
for the first time. Reports state that it
was just like talking on an ordinary tele
phone and that the voices were heard as
distinctly as on many local calls.
It was on March 10. that Alexander
Graham Bell uttered the first words ever
transmitted over telephone wires, when he
said: "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you,"
The words were addressed to Thomas A.
Watson, his assistant, sitting at a cn>de re
ceiver in another room and were heard
distinctly by him. He hurried to tell Bell
that their patient research had been re
warded and that a new art had been at that
instant given to the world.
The wonderful invention was exhibited
at the centennial Exposition in Philadel
phia that year and while It attracted wide
attention, no one dreamed orthe part it was
to play in human affairs. Now the telephone
is one of the most important an indispens
able adjuncts of modem civilization We
can not imagine what we should do without
it. Who knos what invention the Philadel
phia exposition this summer may bring
forth.

WHEN “OPENED BY MISTAKE"
A magazine man recently told ns some
thing astonishing about the peopk in this
country who are trying to write for the
magazines.
One of the magazines he represents, he
said, receives about 20 1 manuscripts a day.
The editors think times are good v ien four
! of the manuscripts received during a wh *k
month can he accepted. Tnink of it! Four
out of 6000!
Many people think t ey need a pul t< get
a manuscript accepte . They don’t. The
editors are hungry fo: more talent, s n r;
manuscript gets a reading.
There are the first readers and second
readers. The first readers have a hard
life. Out of that mess of very bad copy
they must pick out whatever seems at ah
promising. The manuscripts they have pas
sed then go to the second readers. Tnese
are more experienced persons. They re
ject many the first readers send them, and
pass on the previous few that are left t the
| editor.
The editor finally chooses the stories that
meet his requirements. The writer has
good reason to feel encouraged if his work
gets as far as the editor.
The reason why we see the same names
time after time in the magazines appears
to be because they are the only ones who
can turn out the stuf: Of course. SjWt.OflO
peopfe who are tiring to break in will deny
! this. But there are the facts.
CAREER FOR WOMEN
Governor Ross, of Wyoming, appears
not to have very ranch patience with the
modem woman’s idea of a career. She was
visited at the state capital the other day ry
a delegation of college girls. and was asked
to advise them. After suggestin' that wo
man may succeed in almost any profession
I or avocation, she concluded her remarks by
saying that womans best prospects in life
were dictated by her sex.
In other words. Governor Ross advised
those college girls that woman's highest
ideals a it obtainable in a career of matri
mony, of home-building, of nation-bnikhng.
And when one comes to think about it one
is inclined to the conclusion that just in
proportion as woman has neglected the
; family, have the community, the state, and
the nation suffered.
Don’t start anything you card: finish—
forest fines, for instance.
A Louisiana man has perfected an onion
flavored strawberry. He is still at large. ,
