PECULIAR MAY DAY SPORTS Olverelone in "Merrle England" That Went Out With the Riee of Puritanical Ideae. In London in olden times the chim ney sweeps had a May day celebra tion of their own. They gathered In small bands, fantastically dressed, usually with a woman smartly dressed and glittering with spangles. One strange' figure In the group,' u, man concealed In a frame of herbs and flowers, called "Jack in the Gteen." AH these persons strolled the streets, stopping to dance to the tune of a fife and a drum and collect pennies from the onlookers. This chimney, sweep observance of the day was the last df the May day celebrations of the sort In England. As a part of the old English cele bration of May day there was a dis tinct set of sports meant to repre sent the adventures of the legendary Robin Hood and known as the "Robin Hood games." Most of the charac ters mentioned In the Robin Hood legend were portrayed in these games ami there were -archery and quarter staff contests. In Puritan times in England, May poles were uprooted and the May day customs came Into disuse. Solved the Difficulty. A prominent "movie" director says that there is at least one advantage in the income tax. "We were casting for a pictyre, and we -wanted a particular man. for a cer tain" part. Tills man had evidently forgotten that common sense has en tered ? the ? motion lecture field, be cause he insisted upon the must exor bitant salary that could be imag ined. ,t "Negotiations were apparently over and the discussion became general. Finally this actor complained bitterly of the amount that he had had to pay in income tax. We did some quick mental figuring and found that the return he had made to the govern ment was about a half of what he should have made had he received the salary that he insisted he had been getting. "Til tell you what I'll do,' I said; 'Til give you the same salary that you told the government you got.' * Cub Tricks. He had been a newspaper reporter long enough to consider himself well past the "ctt>" stage. It was 2 a. m., barely an hour be fore press time, when the phone bell rang. Replacing the receiver after a few excited "Wh*ts?" and "Whens?" he grabbed his raincoat, and, telling the city editor there wsls a big train wreck ou the W. St N., rushed out. Breathless, he grabbed at the bridge watchman, ten minutes later. "Where's 85? Did she sink?" "Where's what? Yuh crazy T' asked the watchman. "I'm from the Clarion; we got a re port train 86 ran off the bridge." "It did. It does every morning about thUr time. Whaddaya think ? this bridge goes everywhere with the train ?"? Everybody's Magazine. New Yorkers Get Lost In City. Many of the life-long residents of New York know little of the city's rap Idly expanding transportation system. They are acquainted with those minor sections they use daily, but if they have occasion to travel to unaccu* tomed quarters they are as puzzled as the stranger.
