INew York mf^—Day by Day— By O. 0. MelNTYIlB. New York, Jan. 2.—Jewish Kitty Malone ended her career the other week In a hovel near Green point. Jewish Kitty was neither Irish nor Jewish. She was once a beautiful Sicilian girl who was a decoy for the crooks that ran with Mother Mundel baum’a pack on the East Side. Mother Mandelbaurn was the most notorious female Fagln New York has ever known. Her little notion store at 79 Clinton street was the rendezvous for daring criminals. She was the actual prototype of Frochard in "Two Orphans." Jewish Kitty had had many offers of a stage career. She was a natural actress, and this coupled with her great beauty made her worth a big salary. But she elected to run with the pack. She loved danger and the joy of putting wits against the best brains of Central office. Once she was trailed to a theater and all exists save one were guarded. That was the back stage door. Jew ish Kitty waited until the lights went out for the rise of the curtain and hastily made her way back stage and passed unmolested out the door. She was a queen and ruled in the days of Chelsea George. Cockney tVard, Billy Train, Handsome Ike Thalia, Trever Dunbar and Hay mar ket Red. Three m^n arc said to have been murdered because they accepted I her smiles and sought to become her sweetheart. She was fairly cultured and always .supplied with money. Ndw and then she would occupy boxes in the best ■Hipsters and she made the audience HMmder who she was. Yet she went Ethe way of all the beautiful adven Eturesses of the East Side. Rum and Bdrugs! Before Bhe disappeared she ap V peared in a beer concert hall in Oliver I street singing popular ditties wf the I day In a cracked voice. No one would [ applaud and the rtmnagement dis missed her. Then she roamed the Bowery—one of the tattered old hags who whined for money for beer. She died with a mind clouded. looks as though the bobbed-hair craze is not going to go the way of the short skirits after all. Charles, who is the most famous bobber, says he has been busier this winter than ever before. One reason he gives for the continuance of the fad is the type of close fitting bonnet that is so popular. It cannot be comfort ably worn except with bobbed hair, lie also reports that in one week he tabbed the snow-white hair of three ladies who are past 60. 1 Perhaps after a time the custom of women smoking in the streets on their way to automobiles will ruffle no more than the bobbed-hair craze did at its Inception. From any cafe after dinner the elgaret la as much in evidence as the lady’s escort. It seems to be the smart thing to do and New Yorkers will continue to do it so long as it Is smart.

He Stands at the cilrb swinging his cane until a man appears along the library wall opposite. He waves-his cane in a zig zuggy fashion and then strolls back to his boarding house in Rex ington avenue. Speaking of Russians, there was one in a barber shop the other day who had the black, shiny beard of a grand duke. It was magnificent. He ordered the barber to remove it and as he gazed in the glass at the despoliation of his adornment tears ran down His cheeks. One surmises that the duking business is not hold ing up. Perhaps the poor fellow must join those who toil. (Copyright. 1924) 1923 Income Tax Blanks Mailed Eighty thousand income tax blanks for incomes of 1923 were mailed from the income tax office here Wednesday. All must be returned by March IS.

Hummel 'and Joseph Koutsky to serve as a special committee to represent the council in an effort to circumvent the holding of the proposed scavenger sale of property on which the city has an equity of approximately $1,600,000 in special taxes. The plan is to arrange for a con ference between city and county com missioners and the city and county | k-gijd departments. It Is the conten tion of the city officials that the city's interest In the special taxes should in some way be protected before this property goes under the hammer. Coolidge Pilot in Washington.

Heroes and Hero Worship. ARTHUR BRISBANE^ In Russia, about. 20 years ago, a precocious child played the violin. His father watched and corrected little Jascha, proOd that the boy, still in his babyhood, knew almost all that the father knew of playing. Neighbors said, “It’s a shame, that Heifetz spends the whole day listening to his little boy practic ing, and correcting him, when he ought to be working for his family.’’ But the father played his violin at night in the theater Ofchestra and kept his family that way. Yesterday afterMoon at Car negie hall in New York little Jascha, grown to be a tall young man, played a better violin, with every seat in the great hall filled, every ticket for standing room sold. His father from Russia sat close-in front, still listening to his little boy playing. In two hours, that little boy earned more money than his father could have earned in Russia in a whole lifetime. So the neighbors were wrong. Sometimes it pays to concen trate on making money, and some times it pays to concentrate on young little boys with talent. Far more important than money making, that boy, with nis violin,, made it possible yesterday for thousands to begin the New Year in an atmosphere of beauty and inspiration—the music of Bach and Grieg, played as the writers meant to have it played, lighting in each mind, according to lts power, thought, hope and aspira tion. You have read in this column of crowds that attend a great prize fight, when a Firpo, Car pentier, or other, challenges a Dempsey to prove which is the greater brute. We have here other crowds, fortunately. The crowd that gathered yesterday to hear an artist of great talent was as dif ferent from a typical prize ring crowd as water in the rainbow is different from water in the gutter. You saw thousands of inspired faces at the concert yesterday; old men and women, the years lifted from them by the power of music; earnest young students, grateful for a chance to stand through /the afternoon, uncon scious of fatigue. And then the prize ring crowds seemed less important. You knew Burgess-Nash Company. “EVERYBODY’S STORE” IT IS our policy to show entirely new merchandise at the beginning of each season.

Mom Floor 1 -=> One of America s Great Stores «* that intellect at the top of the hu man race is dragging upward the brutality at the bottom, in spite of itself. Whence comes ther power dis played by the Russian Jewish child in infancy, barely three years old? If “acquired characteristics,” as some scientists say, be not inheri ted, what taught that child to handle a violin, at 10 years of age, so marvellously that old and tal ented players, hearing him at a concert in Berlin, said, “We might as well go home and break our violins. That child does now what we shall never be able to do.” ■> --—» Our race is at most one or two hundred thousand years old. We are only 111,000 years away ffom the stone age, when the only music was the hunter imitating the call of a wild animal, or perhaps the dull rhythmic beating of a hairy hand on a skit, stretched tight. The human brain has been stor ing up knowledge and intense feel ing from generation to generation, children inheriting what the fathers and mothers gathered in their lives and handed on. That boy handling a violin in infancy, as readily and naturally as his remote ancestor would have, handled a war club, proves that the brain of man, as generations pass, will be born more and more fully equipped with knowledge acquired before birth. In the mil lions of years ahead of us, chil Satfe in the arms of one woman —but dreaming of danger in the arms of another! ELINOR GLYN’S great romance will keep you charmed and intensely absorbed from start to finish.

We have millions of years, hundreds of millions, to live on this earth. Common senSe sug gests it, science proves it, the sun's power guarantees it. What will be the power of the human mind after only a few million years of accumulated knowledge and feeling? Consider what we do already, only 12,000 years from the stone age, and liv ing still among stone age crowds of the prize ring, the stock mar ket, commercial competition, and "statesmanship” that declares war. Leopold Aufer, who sat close to the platform yesterday, listening and criticizing probably, was Heifetz’s teacher in Russia, as he was the teacher of Mischa Elman, Zimbaii8t and others that have succeeded. If you mention a painting, name the painter—and mention also the teacher of talent. Leopold Auer, at 70, is teaching now in this country, a great loss to Russia. Fortunately, he will find material for his teaching here, and the best of it among newcomers from the old world. There are many men and maay minds, and something provided for all the kinds. With a new year under way, do what you can to put the best part of your mind to work. We use about one-tenth of the brain. The rest remains idle through life; we do not know it is there. Good music will often awaken the unused areas, so hear good music when you can. It makes the baser pursuits, making money, piling up for chil dren that which will make them useless, seem like the life of the prodigal son, eating husks among the swine. (Copyright. 1923.) Rev. S.
