COLLIN'S FOUND 80l HELD FIST Feet May Be Cut Off to Per mit Removal* BURIAL WILL BE IN CAVE M Hours Of.Digging Probably Will Be Necessary Before Body Can Be J Brought Prom Cavern. Cave City, Ky.—The long struggle is ended. Mother Earth, after cling ing grimly in life and' in death to Floyd Collins for more than 17 days, finally surrendered at 2:45 o’clock Monday afternoon and, without warn ing, opened a tiny hole between a rescue shaft and the natural tomb of the cave explorer. Peering down this small fissure into Sand Cave, the workers who had waged an unequal combat with the earth saw that what they had fought so hhrd for had been lost. Collins was dead. But they will reclaim his body, only to restore ft again to the rugged hills he roamed as a youth and explored as a man. “Thank God, they’ve found him,” said Lee Collins, the father. Gov. William J. Fields tonight or dered by telegram that an autopsy be held on the body of Collins by three physicians to determine the cause of death, to locate any possible injuries and to find if there is any trace of poison. M. E. S. Posey, the Governor’s per sonal representative, conferred with H. T. Carmichael, in charge of the work, after receiving the order. They selected Dr. William Hazlett, of Chi cago; Dr. W. E. McWilliams, of Brod- head, Ky., and Dr. W. C. Simmons, of Vine Grove. ‘Brig.-Gen. H. H. Denhardt an nounced that Dr. M. M. Moss, of Bowling Green, representing the State and Kentucky National Guard, will view the body of Collins when it is brought to the'top of the shaft. A short statement, signed by the three men who had led scores of others in the long fight, told of the result and paid tribute to their as sistants. After describing the break through the roof of Sand Cave and the pre liminary investigation of it by Albert Marshall, the statement said: “His game little partner, Ed Bren ner, of Cincinnati, whose work has been very and of untold value by reason of his small stature and great strength and iron nerve, went down head foremost into this hazardous pit and.with a light closely examined the face and position of the man whom we understood is Floyd Collins and called up to Mr. Car michael, five feet above him, that the man was cold and apparently dead.” The bulletin was signed by Briga dier-General Denhardt, H. T. Car michael and M. E. S. Posey. Dr. William Hazlett, of Chicago, and Jjh C. E.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT COOLIDGE Is said to be, at the ‘time this Is written, nearly ready, to name his new secre tary of agriculture, to succeed Mr. Gore on March 4 when that gentleman becomes governor of West Virginia. For several days It was believed that John G. Fields of Oklahoma City, pub lisher of farm papers, would get the position. Then two more names were brought forward, those of Eugene Funk, Illinois farmer and brother of Congressman Frank H. Funk, and Wil liam M. Jardine, president of the Kan sas Agriculture college and a member of the President’s agricultural confer ence. Mr. Funk belongs to a famous family of corn-belt farmers and is himself not only a practical agricul turist but an authority on farm eco nomics and' the marketing of food products.' He Is a graduate of Yale and studied also In Germany. It was believed he was just the kind of man the President was seeking. Doctor Jardine had the united back ing of the Kansas delegation in con gress thohgh it had previously in dorsed J. C. Mohler for the post. So far as the. theoretical side Is con cerned, his experience would seem to fit him to take the portfolio. Start ing life as a cattle puncher In Mon tana, he later*attended the Utah Agri cultural college and In 1896 went to Washington as assistant United States cereallst In charge of the grain work In the West. In 1900 he was made director of agronomy work In the Kan sas college and In 1918 became its president. Doctor Jardine was In con ference with the President last week, and also went before the senate com mittee on agriculture to explain some of his recommendations In the agri culture qpnference. He told the sen ators that agriculture In the United States Is only passing through a nor mal post-war crisis and that It Is cer tain to recover. MEANWHILE President Coolidge Is formulating an agricultural pol icy for the nation, based partly on the advice of Secretary Gore and the agri cultural conference and largely on the Ideas of Secretary of Commerce Hoov er. Its fundamental principle Is that the country shall be self-contained In the matter of production and consump tion of food and clothing, that it shall raise all the farm products It needs, Including those now imported, but shall cease to raise' them for export. Another purpose is to Increase the buying power of the entire commu nity so as to Increase the consump tion of farm products at home and In turn warrant the Increase of produc tion beyond the normal accretion due to the growth of population. The fos tering of cq-operattve marketing also enters largely Into the plan. Repre sentative Dickinson of lowa, leader- of the house farm bloc, says attempts are being made to “Hooverize” the Agriculture department. UNDER suspension of the rules the house passed the Kelly bill pro viding for Increases In postal. salaries amounting to $68,000,000 a year and for changes in the mall rates that are designed to add more than $62,000,000 annually to the revenues of the Post Office department. This is a substi tute for the bill which the senate passed and the house sent back. It provides fse of its career has been upheld by the federal courts in 14 cases and has been overthrown in 35 cases. SENATOR NORRIS is to have the investigation of the so-called pow er trust for which he has been clamor ing. The senate has called on the federal trade commission to make such an inquiry, naming specifically the General Electric company and seeking to know the extent to which that company or its stockholders or security holders monopolize or control production, generation or transmission of power or electric energy. An amendment to the resolution was adopted calling for an Investigation of the American Tobacco company and the Imperial Tobacco company of Great Britain and their alleged ef forts to hamper tobacco co-operatives. STILL another Investigation was de manded in the senate by Senator Howell of Nebraska, the subject of the proposed inquiry being the Van Swerlngeri-Nlckel Plate merger of the Nickel Plate, Erie, Pere Chesapeake Ohio and Hocking Val ley lines, and the acquisition of the Gulf Coast lines by the Missouri Pa cific. Mr. Howell said the Van Swer ingen merger was being financed by J. P. Morgan Co. and the First Nation al bank of New York. Railroads win continue to impose surcharges on passengers using Pullman facilities, the practice hav ing been approved by the interstate commerce commission. The majority opinion says “there Is less warrant for eliminating the surcharge than for reducing the basic passenger fare which applies even to travel in mixed trains of freight and passenger cars.” GREAT BRITAIN, through Chan cellor of the Exchequer Church ill, has made an Informal proposal to France concerning the Anglo-French debt. Briefly, Britain repeats Bal four’s offer to make a heavy reduc tion In the debt provided France agrees to make* fixed annual payments irrespective of the actual receipts from the Dawes annuities. Finance Minister Clemente! and other officials in Paris considered the British plan fair In principle and offering a satis factory basis for negotiations. The government press in France agreed with this view, but the proposal was bitterly .attacked by the nationalist and reactionary papers, which blamed America-for forcing Britain to demand reimbursement. The finance commit tee of the French chamber of deputies has named a subcommittee to study the matter, and It is believed a con ference will be held in London within a few weeks. FOLLOWING the withdrawal of the United States and China because of dissatisfaction, the international opium conference at Geneva adopted a protocol and convention and adjourned sine die. Japan had threatened to quit but was placated by the insertion of a clause reaffirming the obligations of The Hague convention and making it clear that opium smoking is permit ted only temporarily. The signers were Great Britain, India, France, Ja pan, Holland, Portugal and Siam. ONE of the greatest disasters in German mining history occurred in the Stein mine at Dortmund where 144 men were entombed by an explo sion, and at least 138 of them per ished. The tragedy aroused the peo ple to a state of anger that threatened revolution, for the mine owners were accused of failing to safeguard their employees and also of paying them starvation wages while selling coal at higher prices than the British and Americans. MORE than 325 hours after Floyd Collins became entombed in Sand cave, Kentucky, by the fall of a bowlder on his foot, the rescuers who were sinking a shaft from the top of the hill had reached the limestone roof of the cavern near which the young man was trapped. He had been without food for eight days and for two days those who listened with a microphone outfit for sounds of his heartbeats and breathing had heard nothing. During the week the state military board conducted an investigation into the efforts at rescue that had been made and also into persistent reports that the whole affair started in a pub licity scheme to attract visitors to the cave. There had even been stories that Collins wag not in the cavern at all, but these and other wild tales were discredited by the testimony of most of the witnesses. However, the idea was held by many persons that Collins was the victim of a hoax, and the county attorney announced that there would be a grand Jury inquiry and that charges of homicide might bs lodged. f STATE OYSTERS ONLY lllflLL GET 0. K. f Conservation Commission And Health Department An nounce Their Stand. The State Conservation Commission and the State Health Department otter no guarantee on oysters shipped out of the State that do not come from Mary land oyster beds, according to State Conservation Commissioner Swepson Earle. Governor Ritchie’s statement, fol lowing Thursday’s conference, that “he hoped that the disinclination of the Baltimore packers” to submit to the blood test was not actuated “by their desire to protect their business of selling oysters at the expense of Maryland oysters,” is ex pected to launch a definite movement to prevent theemfsuse of the name of Maryland or Chesapeake bay oysters.’’ Mr. Earle said that he was not pre pared to announce the course he is going to take in meeting the problem, but admitted that Maryland packers use a large number of New Jersey oysters, and that his department and the Health Department were deter mined to offer 'guarantees only to those oysters thaf come from Mary land oyster beds. —s Low Typhoid Record Expected. The fact that the total number of typhoid cases in Maryland se far this year has been below the expectancy and much less than for similar periods of recent years has led State health officials to believe 1925 will end with an exceptionally low typhoid record. Dr. R. H. Riley, chief of the State Health Department Bureau of Com municable Diseases, said only four typhoid cases have been reported so far this month. Last February there were 24 new cases of the disease. Four fewer cases were reported last month than in January, 1924, when there were 35 cases, he said. There was a reduction of 16 per cent, from the previous ye; r in typhoid morbidity in Maryland. In 1923 there were 980 cases of the disease, while only 823 cases were repo-ted in 1924. Reduction in even greater percentage for the number of cases is hoped for when 1925 records are complete, Dr. Riley said. Monthly Statements For Bureaus. Monthly statements of their budget accounts are being sent to every State bureau and department by the State Comptroller’s office. The system was inaugurated this year, according to State Comptroller William S. Gordy, Junior. Through use of the statements all departments of the State government are facilitated in keeping track of ex penditures and balances remaining in the appropriations for maintenance, according to J. O. C. McCusker, budget accountant. Some State i departments require nu merous statements because of appro priations allowed for several purposes. In all, approximately 75 monthly state ments are issued by the State Comp troller, according to Mr. McCusker. No License To Deaf-Mute. Refusal of E. Austin Baughman, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, to issue a driver’s license to L. Byrd Brushwood, of Aberdeen, a deaf-mute, was upheld by the Circuit Court of Harford county at Belair. When re fused a license Nir. Brushwood brought mandamus proceedings. The case was heard before Chief Judge T. Scott Offutt and Judges Wil liam H. Harlan and Walter W. Pres ton. Testimony was offered by Mr. Brushwood and Mr. Baughman, after which the court announced, through Judge Offutt, that it vould dismiss the petition. Mr. Baughman, Judge Offutt said, had-not abused his discretion in refusing to issue the license. Thomas H. RObinson, Attorney-Gen eral, and Herbert Levy, Assistant At torney General, represented Mr. Baughman. J. Wilmer Cronin repre sented Mr. Brushwood. A Auto Fee Rece pte $1,460,401. Gross receipts of the office of the State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for automobile licenses for 1925 totaled $1 ,460,401.03, according to a statement received by R. Walter Graham, City Comptroller. The statement r .owed that salaries hnd expenses of the commissioner’s office and the Traffic Court amounted to $130,889, learning the net receipts $1,329,612.03. The city’s share of this fund, fixed at one-fifth, was $265,902.41. Several days ago Mr. Graham was sent a check for $53,396.59, leaving a bal ance of $212,505X2. This balance was paid recently. Lad Die* After Cutting Foot. Elkton. —William Sunday Harris, 10- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Harris, of near North East, died in Union Hospital here from a hemorrhage resulting from cutting his foot with an ax. The lad went to (he woods with his father, who was cutting cord word, and while he was handling one of the axes struck his foot, almost severing it.

Governor Ritchie and Brig.-Gen. Mil ton A. Reckord, commander of the Maryland National Guard, escorted by 30 mounted field officers, will head the Maryland delegation in the inaugura tion parade in Washington March 4. This' announcement was made by Major Thomas G. McNicholas, execu tive officer of the Fifty-eighth Infantry Brigade of the Maryland National Guard and assistant to General Rgckord. From the 3,500 men who compose the military defense forces of the State two presenting the best soldier ly appearance will be selected to act as orderlies to Governor Ritchie and General Reckord, Major McNicholas said. These will be chosen by a process of elimination. Each of the organisations in the Maryland National Guard will name two nlin, one as candidate for the honor and another as alternate. The organizations are the First In fantry, Fifth Infantry, One Hundred and Tenth Field Artillery, One Hun dred and Fourth Medical Regiment, Air Service, Quartermaster’s Detach ment and Headquarters Company of the Fifthy-eighth Infantry Brigade. Ritchie And Prison Aides Confer. Governor Ritchie, Stuart S. Janney, Director of Welfare; Edward M. Par rish, Parole Sommissioner, and Col. Claude B. Sweezey, Warden of the Maryland Penitentiary and House of Correction, conferred at the Governor’s office in an effort to find away to avoid disappointment on the part of prisoners recommended for parole. The Governor explained he does not grant nearly all the paroles recom mended by the Parole Commissioner, and convicts aond their friends do not seem to know this, but rather take it for granted that when a case is recom mended by Mr. Parrish it means the prisoner soon is to be set free. His friends soon begin to worry because no action has been taken and then begin to besiege the Governor, it was explained. It was agreed nothing can be done except for the warden to notify all prisoners applying for parole that the application is only one step in the procedure and does not mean neces sarily that the application will be granted nor at any particular time. Shore Bus Service May Be Improved. .Improvement of service furnished by the Baltimore, Chesapeake _pnd At- j lantlc Railroad between Centrevillo and Queenstown is being considered by offloials of the railroad and mem bers of the Public Service Commis sion. Steam railway service between the two communities was abolished and bus service between the railway’s depots substituted last summer. Im provements in bus service are planned to allow busses to operate to the cen ter of the two towns, it is said. Substitution of bus Service for the present gasoline train service between Claiborne and Easton also is being considered. Conditions on both branch lines of the railroad are being studied by engineering staffs of the railroad and the Public Service Commission. Old Town M. M. Banquet. Governor Ritchie, Howard Bryant, Acting Mayor, and Representative John Philip Hill will be among the speakers at the forty-first annual ban quet of the Old Town'Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association to be held at the Hotel Rennert Thursday eve ning. Final arrangements for the banquet are being completed by a committee composed of George M. Zapf, chair man; Edward J. Meehan, Henry R. Thomas, George J. Herbert, Elmer H. Josselyn, Jr., and Herman H. Gette muller. William L. Stuckert, Assistant State's Attorney, will be toastmaster. Commission Seeks Expert. Frederick*. —A commission of 27, ap pointed by Mayor Culler to study park problems with special reference to establishing a new recreational center, recommended at a meeting that the city and county authorities authorize it to employ a landscape artist to look i over Memorial Ground and advise con cerning its development. 12 Students To Be'Dismissed. Twelve students of St. John’s Col lege are to be dismissed because of failure in the recent mid-semester ex aminations. At the corresponding period last year 20 were dismissed because of failure.

And his mother, Selina DeJong, daughter of Simeon Peake, gambler and gentleman of fortune. Her life, to young womanhood in Chicago in 1888, has been unconventional, some what seamy, but generally enjoy able. At school her chum is Julie Hempel, daughter of August Hempel, butcher. Simeon is killed in a quarrel that is not his own. Selina is nineteen years old and practically destitute. Selina se cures a position as teacher at the High Prairie school, in the out skirts of Chicago, living at the home of a truck farmer, Klaas Pool. CHAPTER ll—Continued Selina’s quick glance encompassed the room. In the window werewi few hardy plants In pots on a green-paint ed wooden rack. There .was a sofa with a wrinkled calico cover; three; rocking chairs; some stark crayons of Incredibly hard-featured Dutch an cients on the wall. It was all neat, stilt, unlovely. But Selina had known too many years of boarding-house ugli ness to be offended at this. Manrtje had lighted a small glass bowled lamp. A steep, Uncarpeted stairway, inclosed, led off the sitting room. Up this Maartje Pool, talking, led the way to Selina’s bedroom. Se lina was to learn that the farm wom an, often inarticulate through lack of companionship, becomes a torrent of talk when opportunity' presents itself. A narrow, dim, close-smelling hall way, uncarpeted. At the end of it a door opening into the room that was to be Selina’s. As its chill struck her to the marrow three objects caught her eyes. The bed, a huge and not unhandsome walnut mausoleum, reured Its somber height almost to the room’s top. The mattress of straw and corn husks was unworthy of this edifice, but over It Mrs. Pool had mercifully placed a feather bed, stitched and quilted, so that Selina lay soft and warm through, the win ter. Along one wall stood a low’ chest so richly brown as to -appear black. Tlie front panel of tills was curiously curved. Selina stooped before It and for the second time that day said: “How beautiful 1” then looked quick ly round at Maartje Pool as though fearful of finding her laughing as Klaas Pool had laughed. But Mrs. Pool’s face reflected the glow in her own. She came over to Selina and stooped with her over the chest, hold ing the lamp so that Its yellow flame lighted up the scrolls and tendrils of the carved surface. With one dis colored forefinger she traced the bold flourishes on the panel. "See? How it makes out letters?’’ Selina peered closer. “Why, sure enough! This first one’s an S!” Manrtje was kneeling before the chest now. “Sure an S. For Sophia. It is 11 Holland bride’s chest. And here is K. And here is big D. It makes Sophia Kroon DeVries. It Is anyways two hundred years. My' mother she guve it to me when I was married, and her mother she gave It to her when she was married, and her mother gave it to her when she was married, and her “I should think so!” exclaimed Se lina, rather meaninglessly; but stem- Ing the torrent. “What’s in it? Any thing? There ought to be bride’s clothes in it, yellow’ with age.” “It is!” cried Maartje Pool and gave a little bounce that Imperiled the lamp. “N 6!” 'Jhe two on their knees sat smiling at each other, wide-eyed, like schoolgirls. “Here-pwait.”, Maartje Pool thrust the lamp Into Selina’s hand, raised, the lid of the chest, dived expertly into Its depths amidst a great rustling of old newspapers, and emerged red faced with a Dutch basque and volum inous skirt of silk; an age-yellow cap whose wings, stlfT with embroidery, stood out grandly on either side; a pair of wooden shoes, stained terra cotta like the sails of the Vollendam fishing boats, and carved from toe to heel In a delicate and intricate pat tern. A bridal gown, a bridal cap, bridal shoes. “Well!” said Selina, with the feel ing of a little girl in a rich attic on a rainy day. She. clasped''her hands. “May I dress up In It sometime?" Muartje Pool, folding the garments hastily, looked shocked and hprrlfled. “Never must anybody dress up in a bride’s -dress, only to get married. It brings bad -uck.” Then, as Selina stroked the stiff silken folds of the skirt with a slim and caressing fore finger “So you get married to a High Prairie Dutchman I let you wear It.” At this absurdity they both laughed again. Selina thought that this school-teaching venture was start t ing out very well. She would have such things to tell her father—then she remembered. She shivered a lit tle a8 she stood up now. There surged over her a great wave of longing for her father —for the theater treats, for his humorous philosophical drawl, for the Chicago streets, and the ugly Chicago houses; fbr Julie; for Miss Fister’s school; for anything and any one that was accustomed, known, and therefore dear. She had a horrible premonition that she was going to cry, began to blink very fast, turned a little blindly in the dim light and caught sight of the room’s third ar resting object. A blue-black cylinder of tin sheeting, like a stove and yet unlike. It was polished like the length of pipe in the sitting-room be low. Indeed, it vyas evidently a giant flower of this stem. “What’s that?” demnnded Selina, pointing. Maartje Pool, depositing the lamp on the little wash-stand preparatory to leaving, smiled prldefully. “Drum.” “Drum?” “For heat your room.” Selina touched it. ,It was Icy. “When there Is fire,” Mrs. Pool added, hastily. Selina was to learn that its heating powers were mythical. Even when the stove in the sitting room was blazing away with a cheerful roar none bf the glow communicated itself to the drum. It remained as coolly in different to the blasts breathed upon it as a girl hotly besieged by an un welcome lover. “Maartje!” roared a voice from belowstairs. The voice of the hungry male. There was wafted up,v too, a faint smell of scorching. Then came sounds of a bumping and thumping along the narrow stairway. “Og heden!” cried Maartje, in a Panic, her haDds high in air. She was off. Left glone In her room Selina un locked hPr trunk and took from it two photographs—one of a mlld-looklng man with his hat a little on one side, the other of a woman who might have been a twenty-five-year-old Selina, minus the courageous jaw-line. Look ing about for a fitting place on which to stand these leather-framed treas ures she considered the top of the chili drum, humorously, then actually placed them there, for lack of a better refuge, from which vantage point they regard ed her with politely interested eyes. Perhaps they would put up a shelf for her. That would serve for her little stock of books and for the pictures as well. She was enjoying that little flush of exhilaration that comes to a woman, unpacking. She took out her neat pile of warm woolen underwear, her stout shoes. She shook out the crushed folds of the wine-colored cash mere. Now, if ever, she should have regretted its purchase. But she didn’t. No one, she reflected, as she spread it rosily on the bed, possessing wlne-col ored cashmere could be altogether downcast. From below stairs came the hiss of frying. Selina washed In the chill ija ter of the basin, took down her hair and colled It again before the swlmmy little mirror over the wash-stand. She adjusted the stitched white bands of the severe collar and patted the cuffs of the brown lady’s-clotli. The tight basque was fastened with buttons from .throat to waist. Her fine long head rose above this trying base with such grace and dignity as to render the stiff garment beautiful. It was a day of appalling bunchiness and equally ap palling tightness In dress; of panniers, galloons, plastrons, revers, bustles, all manner of lumpy bedevilment. That Selina could appear In this disfiguring garment a creature s'tlll graceful, slim, and pliant was a sheer triumph of spirit over matter. She blew out the light now and de scended the steep wooden stairway to the unllghted parlor. The door be tween parlor and kitchen was closed. Selina sniffed sensitively. There was pork for supper. She was to lenra that there was always pork for supper. She hesitated a moment there in the darkness. Then she opened the kitch en door. There swam out at her a haze of smoke, from which emerged round blue eyes, guttural talk, the smell of frying grease, of stable, of loam, and of woolen wash freshly brought in from the line. With an inrush of cold air that sent the blue haze into swirls the outer kitchen door opened. A boy, his arm piled high with stbve-wood, entered; a dark, handsome sullen boy who stared at Selina over the armload of wood. Selina stared back at him. There sprang to life between the boy of twelve and the* woman of nineteen an electric current of feeling. “Koelf,” thought Selina; and even took a step toward him, Inexplicably drawn. t “Hurry then wlih tliut wood there!” i fretted Maartje at the stove. The boy flung the armful into the box, brushed MIDLAND JOURNAL. RISING SUN. MD f his sleeve and coat-front mechanically, still looking at Selina. Klaas Pool, already at table, thumped with his knife. “Sit down, teacher.” Selina hesitated, looked at Maartje. Maartje was holding a fry ing pan aloft In one hand while with the other she thrust and poked a fresh stick of wood Into the open-lidded stove. The two pigtails seated them selves at the, table, set with Its red checked cloth and bone-liandled cutlery. Roelf flung his cap on a wall-hook and sat down. Only Selina and Maartje re mained standing. “Sit down 1 Sit, down Klass Pool said again, jovial ly. "Well, how is cabbages?” He chuckled and winked. A duet of tit ters from the pigtails. Maartje at the stove smiled; but a trifle grimly, one might have thought, watching her. Evi dently Klass had not hugged his joke In secret. Only thfe boy Roelf remained unsmiling. Even Selina, feeling the red mounting to her cheeks, smiled a little, nervously, and sat down with some suddenness. Maartje Pool now thumped down on the table a great bowl of potatoes fried In grease; a platter of ham, There was bread cut in chunks. The coffee was rye, toasted, in the oven, ground, and taken without sugar or cream. Of this food there was plenty. It made Mrs. Tebbitt’s Monday night meal seem am brosial. Selina’s visions of chickens, oly-koeks, wild ducks, crusty crullers, and pumpkin pies vanished, never to return. She hnd been very hungry, but no\v, us she talked, nodded, smiled, she cut her food into infinitesimal bites, did not chew them so well, and de spised herself for being dainty. “Well,” she thought, “It’s going to be afferent enough, that’s certain. This is a vegetable farm, and they don’t eat vegetables. I wonder why. What a pity that- she lets herself look like tha,t, just because she’s a farm •woman. Her hair screwed into that knob, her skin rough and neglect ed. That hideous dress. Shapeless. She’s not bad looking, either. A red spot on either cheek, now; and her eyes so blue. A little like those women In the Dutch pictures father took me to see In —where? —where? —New York, years ago?—yes. But that wom an’s face was placid. This one's strained. Why need she look like that, frowsy, horrid, old! The boy is, somehow, foreign-looking ltalian. Queer. They talk a good deal like some Herman neighbors we had in Milwaukee. They twist sentences. Literal translations from the Dutch, I suppose.” Jakob Hoogendunk, Pool’s hired hand, was talking. Supper over, the men sat Felaxed, pipe In mouth. /vjj “Fields of Cabbages What You Said —They Are Beautiful,” He Stam mered. Maartje was clearing the supper things, with .Geertje and Jozlna making a great pretense at helping. If they gig gled like that In school, Selina thought, she would, in time, go mad, and knock their pigtailed heads together. Roelf, at the table, sat poring over a book, one slim hand, chapped und gritty with rough work, outspread on the cloth. Selina noticed, without knowing she noticed, that the lingers were long, slim, and the broken nulls thin and fine. Selina wanted, suddenly, to be alone In her room —in the room that but an hour before had been a strange and terrifying chamber with Its towering bed, its chill drum, its ghostly bride’s chest. Now It had become a refuge, snug, safe, Infinitely desirable. She turned to Mrs. Pool.'’ “I —I think I’ll go up to my room. I’m very tired. The ride, f suppose. I’m not used Her voice trailed off. “Sure,” said Maartje, briskly. She had finished the supper dishes and was busy with a huge bowl, flour, a baking board. “Sure go up. I got my breud to .set yet and what all.” “If I could have some hot water “Roelf! Stop once that reading und show school teacher where Is hot wa ter. Geertje! Jozlna! Never in my world did 1 see such.” She cuffed a convenient pigtail byway of emphasis. A wail arose. “Never mind. It doesn’t matter. Don’t bother.” Selina was in a sort of panic now. She wanted to be out of the room. But the boy Roelf, with quiet swiftness, had taken a battered tin pall from its hook on the wall, had lifted an iron slab at the back of the kitchen stove. A mist of steam arose. He dipped the pail into the tiny reser voir thus revealed. Then, as Selina made us though to take it, he walked past her. She heard him ascending the wooden stairway. She wanted to be after him. But first she must know the name of the book over which he 1 had been poring. But between her and the book outspread on the table were Pool, Hoogendunk, dog, pigtails, Maartje. She pointed with a deter mined forefinger. “What’s that book Roelf was reading?” Maartje thumped a great ball of dough on the baking board. Her arms were white with flour. She kneaded and pummeled expertly. "Woorden boek.” Well. That meant nothing. Woorden boek. Woorden b— Dimly the mean ing of the Dutch words began to come to her. But it couldn’t be. She bru sited past the men in the tipped back chairs, stepped over the collie, reached across the table. Woorden —word. Bt^ek —book. Word book. "tie’s reading the dictionary!” Selina said, aloud. “He’s reading the diction ary She had the horrible feeling that she was going to laugh and cry at once; hysteria. Selina flung a good-night over her shoulder and made for the stairway. He should have all her books. She would send to Chicago for books. She would spend her thirty dollars a month buying books for him. He had been reading the dictionary! Roelf had placed the pail of hot water on the little wash-stand and had lighted glass lamp. He was intent on replacing the glass chimney within the four prongs (that held It firm. Downstairs, in the crowded kitchen, he had seemed quite the man. Now, In the yellow lamplight, his profile sharp ly outlined, she saw that he was just a small boy with tousled hair. About his cheeks, his mouth, his chin, one could even see the last faint traces of soft infantile roundness. “He’s just a little boy,” thought Se lina, with a quick pang. He was about to pass her now, without glancing at her, his head down. She put out her hand; touched his shoulder. He looked up at her, his face startflngly alive, his eyes blazing. It came to Selina that until now she had not heard him speak. Her hand pressed the thin stuff of his coat sleeve. “Cabbages fields of cabbages— what you said—they are bpautiful,” he stammered. He was terribly in earnest. Before she could reply he was out of the room, clattering down the stairs. Selina stood, blinking a little. The glow that warmed her now en dured while she splashed about in the inadequate basin; took down the dark soft masses of her hair; put on the voluminous long-sleeved, high-necked nightgown. Just before she blew out the lamp her last glimpse was of the black drum' stationed like a patient eunuch in the corner; and she could smile at that even giggle a little, what with weariness, excitement and a gen eral feeling of being awake, in a dream. But once in the vast bed she lay there utterly lost in the waves of terror and loneliness that envelop one at night In a strange house amongst strange people. She listened to the nolseA that came from downstairs; voices gruff, unaccustomed; shrill, high. These ceased and gave place to Others less accustomed to her city bred ears; a dog’s bark and an answer ing one; a far-off train whistle; the dull thud of hoofs stamping ■on the barn floor; the wind in the bare tree branches outside the window. Her watch —a gift from Simeon Peake on her eighteenth birthday— with the gold case all beautifully en graved with a likeness of a gate, and a church, and a waterfall and a bird, linked together with spirals and flour- isfies of the most graceful description, was ticking away compnnionably un der her pillow. She felt for it, took it out and held it in her palm, under her cheek, for comfort. She Knew she would not sleep that night. She knew she would not sleep— She awoke to a clear, cold November dawn; children’s voices; the neighing of-horses; a great sizzling and hissing, and scent of frying bacon; a clucking and squawking In the barnyard. It was six o’clock. Selina’s first day as a school teacher. In a little mon. than two hours she would be facing a whole roomful of round-eyed Geertjes and Jozinas and Roelfs. The bedroom was cruelly cold. As she threw the bed clothes aside Selina decided that It took an appalling amount of courage— this life that Simeon Peake had called a great adventure. Anyway, Selina finds a kin dred soul in Roelf, who also thinks cabbages beautiful. (TO BB CONTINUED.) Scientific Future Love The mutrimoulal reports of our day are undertaking to put love on a sound, scientific basis.

The young man, armed with a stethoscope, a tape measure and- the means of making a blood test, goes to call upon the lady whose charms hnve attracted him. He taps a vein, listens to the thump of her heart and to the wind whistling through her bronchial tubes and ends his labors with a careful examination of the soles of her feet. Satisfied with the showing he makes a request for a kiss and ohtnins one, duly hygienized through a strainer whipped from a vanity bag. That Is, he does unles the young woman wallops him instead. —Toledo Blade. Mozart It is doubtful if anybody knows the exact spot where Mozart is buried. A violent storm was raging at the time of the funeral, and the hearse went its way unaccompanied to the churchyard, and his body was committed in the paupers’ corner. In 1859 the city of Vienna erected on the probable spot 1 monument to his memory. I “OLD-SALT” TALES I i■ i. By CAPTAIN IRA PERKINS (Cop? right.) The Great Smiler jjfpHERE was that tawny-skinned' half-breed n-stalklng along about six steps ahead of me in the moon ight." The captain had started one >f his famous yarns and every boy of ils ten listeners sat in rapt attention. The captain relighted his pipe, then he story went on. “Imagine now, if you can, my situa :ion: Here I was in the heart of a :ropical forest. It seemed the man •vho led me either was gone crazy, or ?lse we were being pursued by some nvisible spirit, native of these wild .munts. On top of this, remember that the man with me spoke not one word of any language which I could jnderstand. I was lost entirelyand uore afraid than I would have cared it the time to admit. “The plan had been that the native was to lead me by a secret path Into the rear part of the great temple which sheltered the Idol we sought. Once inside, I was to find the idol and tlso see if there was any way which I could let In my three comrades who were supposedly waiting in a boat on the river bank, at the front side of the great temple, to which spot they had aeen guided by another of the natives surlier in the evening. “As I stumbled on through the for est this plan now looked like the very wildest and most foolhardy of schemes. “It was in this frame of mind, with a perspiring brow, and a heart heavy as stone, that I at last reached the edge of the great clearing In which the temple stood. “The whole scene before me was lighted In a shadowy way by tile moon which was about one-quarter full. “Before leaving the seashore I had put on the clothing of a native. “Since I was so well disguised, my Indian guide found small trouble in taking me along with himself Into the temple. Once Inside, I did my best to find out the things I had been sent to learn. The main room of the tem ple was a great, square, box-Uke sort of place, with pillars of hewn stone, and rows of idols on each side. None of these Idols was like the one for which I sought. The one I looked for \vas said to be the chief idol of all the minor ones. ’The Great" Smiler' was the native name for him. No white man had ever seen him and no one could say exactly what he was like. But it was known that In some way fortune in precious Jewels was dis played on his body. “At one end of the big room In which I stood several priests, evidently set there as guards, were seated with, their backs to the wall and all of thpm asleep nnd snoring deeply. Stepping across the very bodies of some of them I made my way at last into a separate chamber. This was hung all about with drapes and a monstrous big Idol was at the far end of It. As I stood looking about me, a bell in some dis tant part of the temple began to chime. Almost at once there followed the sound of snndaled feet coming to ward me. The best thing I saw to do vus to slip behind one -of the hanging drupes. •Then 1 viewed one of the strangest sights it has ever fallen ray .lot to cast eyes on. About eight or ten of the head priests came shuffling into the room. They chanted some barbaric lay which rose higher and higher In pitch. At the last note they threw themselves on their faces. After they were down, a great lamp was placed behind the head of the Idol by the high priest. Then this priest fussed about behind the idol’s back and must have worked some hidden spring. The mouth of the idol suddenly swung open. I caught my breath, and almost cried aloud. The entire Inside of the idol's great mouth and throat was encrusted with precious stones. ‘The priests on the floor rose to their knees. Slowly they raised their eyes to the face of the Great Smiler. At u word from the high priest they ull cried out together and once more fell prone upon the floor. The great stone Jaws of the Idol were clumped together. The lamp was blown out. Then at a word from the high priest all silently departed. "Later, 1 made my way from the place unnoticed. It seemed the guards trusted the Great Smiler to take good care of himself. When the men who were waiting heard uiy story they thought it best to delay until some plans could be made to break open tiie Idol’s massive stone head. We went back to our ship. As far as 1 know, the Idol ,is there, in the same place, today.” A I QUALITY /I v® r 7 o y" (M II RE,D s oa if VH IRV D^M^B H3Q3QQI fffiWuJljffi Finding fault is no way to make a fortune, unless the fault Is found In your own business.

Under the preceding act the'amount of the ex emption to which the taxpayer was en titled was determined by his status as a single person, a married person, or the head of a family on the last day of the taxable year, December 31; if the return was made on the calendar year basis, as most are. For example, a taxpayer married on. September 30. 1924, would be entitled to an exemption of $1,375. for. the first bine months he is classfied as a single man entitling him to an exemp tion of s7so—three-fourths of the SI,OOO exemption allowed a single person— and far the last three months Ijj is e- 3 titled to an exemption of s6ls—one fourth of the $2,500 exemption allowed a married person. If on June 30, a taxpayer ceased be ing the head, of a famity support in one household of a relative or rela tives being discohtinue3—he is allowed an exemption of $1,750 —one half of the exemption of sl,°°° granted a single person plus one-half of the exemption of $2,500 granted the head of a family. With regard to the S4OO credit for a de pendent, the taxpayer’s status is deter mined as of the last day of the taxable year. If, during the year, his support of such dependent ceased, he is not en titled to this credit. o PAYS TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN HOMES English Visitor Impressed by u lmmaculateness.” I do not believe since the world began there have ever been such spot less, shining homes as these (of New York), so clean, so comfortable, so full of beautiful and wisely chosen things. Tidy thijy are to a degree that shames tne English housewife, says Rebecca West In the New Republic. Partly this Is due to the strange fact that, though servants are much scarcer than they are In England, and demand from double to five times the wages, they do far more work. A house with two servants In America is better kept, both as regards the service o£„ meals and the orderliness of the rooms, than a house with five in England.’The par quet floors are glass-smooth; the cur tains are Invariably crisp as if they had coma that day from the cleaning; the silver and the crystal on the table la brilliant as. If it was the sole care of a superbutler, and the linen Is fairy fine; the bedrooms are as decorative and as apparently undisturbed by use as stage bedrooms; and the bathrooms likewise. One needs a special style of the Apocalyptic to describe the American bathroom. In extreme cases it turns into a young Turkish bath. I am de scribing now a middle-class house or apartment, but the working-class home as It Is seen In the modern tenement and apQrtment houses has at least the same ideals. Its principal room is probably rather larger than a hat box, but the plumbings and fittings are sure to be admirable. To the returned traveler the average English home seems a horrid cave. And it ought to be noticed that this house is not maintained in its perfec tion like the French home by any pol icy of Immolation of the female on the altar of domesticity and exclusion of the stranger. The American woman is far less tied to her home than the Englishwoman.

Many Legends About Scots’ Patron Sain& From time immemorial, St. Andrew has been the patron, saint of Scotland, to whom November 30 has been dedi cated. He first comes to our knowl edge through the gospels, which state that he was the brother of Simon I’eter, and a son of Jonas, a fisher man of ’Bethsaida, on the northwest ern shore of the Sea of Galilee. He had been a disciple of John the Bap tist, but left his former master and at tached himself to our Lord, to whom he brought his brother, Simon Peter, says the Springfield Republican. The traditions about St. Andrew arc various. The early Father Eusebius states that he preached in Scythia on the nortjj side of the Black sea. Je rome and Theodoret named Achala, or southern Greece, as the field of hit labors after the ascension of our Lord; and he is said to have been crucified at Patras in Achala on a cross in tht form of the letter X, known since then as St. Andrew’s cross. Two hundred and eighty years latei. his bones were removed to Constantl nople. About the year 600 they were again exhumed and committed to the care of a pious man' named Rule oi Regulus, wlio, after a stormy voyage 1 of a year and a half, was wrecked or the promontory of the Wild Boar on the North sea, now the coast of Fife shire, Scotland. Out of the wrecl Regulus saved the bag containing the bones of St. Andrew. Regulus was received with gratltudi and affection by the people; a pieei of ground was gifted by the king ti God and St. Andrew, and the bones were, again Interred. In a cave In a sandstone cliff hard by Regulus took up his abode, to guard the place where the treasure lay and to preach the gospel of Christ. Through the preach ing of the holy man many of the Piets were converted and the little monas tery of wicker work or chapel of rude stones gathered from the neighboring beach, which had been built over the place where the bones of the apostle had been laid, became a place of sa cred pilgrimage. A little town sprang up close by and received the name oi St. Andrewls. The great cathedral of St. Regulus, the ruins of which still dominate the old town, was erected it honor of him who had brought to th ar." lie said "and I’ve been hunting 'or half an hour to find out where It ielongs.”—Exchange.

First, there Is the pressure of the water. The weight of the sea at 1,000 fathoms (approxi mately one mile) is one ton to the square inch, or 150 times grsat as the air which we breaths. Go down 2,500 fathoms and there is a pressure many times more powerful thun that of the steam In a locomotive boiler. Captain De Carteret told me of a test that was made on the cuble ship Colonla In midocean, writes George \V. Gray In the American Magaalne. An empty soda water bottle —one of tile kind that has a conical bottom —was fitted with a long stopper of hard wood trimmed ts fit the neck of the bottle snugly, nnd cut so ns to make It bare ly touch the bottom of the bottle. The bottle was weighted arifi Ist down to a depth of 2,000 fathoms. When It was brought up, the point of the wooden stopper was protruding through the thick glass bottom. The pressure of the water had converted the stopper into a hydraulic ram, and had driven It so neatly through the bottom of the bottle that there wasn't even a star fracture in the glass. Another cable seaman told of lower ing a piece of meat, properly weighted to make it sink. In the mid-Atlantic. After being exposed to tlie near-freex ing temperature and the squeezing •weight of a thousand fathoms of ocean, that tough roast beef came up as ten der as veal. Great Eastern Writer The name “Voltaire of the East" Is applied ttf Omar Khayyam, whose Itu balyat Is familiar to every reader. Be cause of his purity of diction, his fins wit, crushing satire and general sym pathy with suffering humanity, he t strongly resembles the great Freneh man. Hls poetical renown is based on hls quatrains, a collection .of about 500 epigrams which Fitzgerald has i done into English. But Omar, tlie 1 Persian tentmaker, was more than' a poet; his favorite studies were math ematics and astronomy. His stand ard work on algebra written in Arabic, together witli other treatises of similar character, raised him to tlie foremost rank of the mathematicians of his time. At tlie request of the sultan he conducted extensive researches In astronomy which were instrumental In reforming the calendar of Ills day. He died 1123 A. D. —Ivunsas City Star.

A start waa recently made In Wingland, looking toward the rec- lamation of 500 acrea from the Wash. This was the dlatrlct where King John made his tragic journey across the sand. At that time the sea; though hemmed somewhat by the Rojnuns, came down to Wisbech; but it has been gradually beaten back, it Is es timated that since the, Norman con- 'j quest some 830,000 acrea in Lincoln- A shire have been reclaimed from the sea, or from the waters Of the fen. On no part of the English coast is ac cretion so predominant aa In Lincoln shire. Though erosion caused a loss of 400 acres between 1883-1906, in the same period there was a gain of 0,106 acres, now the richest soil in the coun try. Great Writer's Heme Abbotsford was the name given by Sir Walter Scott to hla residence on the banks of the Tweed, from a tradi tion that the abbots of Melrose fprded tip? river there In times past. The house was begun in 1817 and complet ed in 1524. It is'chiefly Interesting as the home of the poet and novelist, and contains several valuable relics. Sir Walter had lived at Abbotsford about a year when financial reverses over took. him through the failure of his publisher. Although liable for about SOOO,OOO, the author asked only for i (me; and in five years realised for hib creditors the sum of nearly $400,000. To accomplish this he labored from ten to fourteen hours a day at his writ ing. Scott died at Abbotsford In 1832. —Kansas City Star. First “Boucanlers The name "buccaneer” waa given to piratical English, Dutch and French adventurers, united in their opposition to Spain, who maintained themselves chiefly in the Caribbean sea during the Seventeenth century. The first of the class were French settlers, whose oc cupation originally was hunting the wild cattle on the islunds, especially Hispaniola, und preserving the flesh at little establishments called "bon cuns;” they being known as' "hoir canlers.” After driven from these purSuits by the Spaniards, these boucanlers took to piracy, particular ly upon Spanish vessels, und to raid ing Spanish settlements on the lsfundi und mainland.

OS., 'h ifcirtM 111 ——alfWlW——ll SC£JVr OFMANIS A DEATH SENTENCE Wild Mothers in Captivity Resent Cubs’ Handling. Lena, the lioness of the zoological gardens in London, is now rearing her second litter of cubs. The secret of success with Uon cubs bom In captivity seems to lie in this simple rule —no humun being must lay a finger on the whelps while they are In their mothers charge. In the past keepers, men of science, and privileged visitors would tajge a peep at the cubs when the mother had been “fed away” from the* nursery. The cuddlesome spotted’ln fants were not moved Into the cold-air, but who could resist giving them a pat or a caress? asks a writer In the Lon don Chronicle. C Well, that affectionate stroking was their death sentence, it left the dread ed “man scent” oh their coats. For hundreds of thousand of years man has been the arch-enemy of all wild creatures. Some he was obliged to kill off In self-defense and others he hunted for food. It follows that the smell of the destroyer raises an Instinctive. terror In the mind of an animal. The tolerance acquired by a captive beast for the smell of man is because the alternative Is starvation. The primitive Instinct of a nursing mother brings back primitive fears. Thersf fore, when'the lioness returns to the nursery and scents the dreaded taint she either destroys her babies or leaves them to die. A wolf-mother at the zoo once proved herself unequal to the task of rearing a family. When the next Ut ter arrived the zoo called in a mother ly collie. There were four cubs and four puppies. As an experiment It was decided to leave one cub with th£r wolf-mother, and. In addition, to give her three of the i puppies to see If she'would rear them. She was shut out .of her dark sleeping box while the change was im\de and the puppies were given more than an hour to snuggle In the cub’s nest of hay and get thoroughly “wolfy” in scene. Then the wolf-mother was re-admltted. There were four sniffs and three snaps—-and only the wolf-cub lived. Another case in point While the usual keeper of the zoo doer was away a substitute found a baby fawn totter ing In an open paddock during bad weather. The man picked It up and carried It Into shelter. From that mo ment the mother refused to go near her baby, and the mite had to be reared by hand. Even the tame domestic rabbit will kill or abandon her young should the owner handle them In the nest and leave a trace of the fatal "man scent.” Leave all baby animals to their mothers, and do not touch .them unless you mean to take them away for good.

His Way. •'Old Riley Rezzldew was In here tf' spell ago, growling about a lost let ler,” said the landlord of the Petunia tavern. “Lost. another letter he was given to mail, eh?” returned Squire Rams uottom. “Ye-ah! He wasn’t certain he had been In- the hotel here, but he was trying to visit all the places he had been, and was prob’ly going to some he hadn’t visited and passing by sev eral he had visited.

THE MIDLAND JOURNAL, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1925 Old Ram Discovered V Youth Will Be Served Not long ago the Companion print ed a Story by Mr. C. A. Stephens en titled “Cephas Tyrannus." The story 1 reminded a reader of un experience That a cousin of x h's bad with 1 that must certalnily have been an off spring of old Cepliaj. The rum was I past middle age, was large and heavy and -had- a wicked set| of horns that I he used at every opportunity. He be- came so dangerous that he llnnlly had to be confined by himself in a smqjl j 1 enclosure. My cousin, writes our correspond ent, had obtulned a younger and smaller ram for breeding purposes, and the sight of the newcomer filled tile old ram with deepest hatred. He. was never able to get at him, though he often put the enclosure to a severe test when the young rpn would confe J in sight. The end of the jealousy came sud denly one day when the gate of his pen was Inadvertently left open. The old rnm gave one angry blat and tore through the opening, making for hlB enemy, who was feeding with the ewes about 200 yards away. At the snort of defiance the entire herd looked up, s and the ewes took to their heels. Not so their new lord, how ever. He stood his ground, braced all four feet and lowered hlf head to meet the oncoming rush. As the two collided there wus a ernsh that was beard in the next field. The impact threw the old rnm clear over the youngster’s back, and like Cephas, when he landed some five feet to the rear, lie lay quite still. Examination showed that his neck wns broken. The young ram appeared dazed for a moment or two; then lie leisurely trot ted off to join the eyves at their new feeding place.—Youth’s Companion. Mush Ox Well Equipped to Cope With Enemies The musk ox which makes Its home in the northern part of Cunuda Is a connecting link between wild cattle and sheep. Its horns are similar to the capo buffalo and its flesh tastes like beef. It has next its body a denss coat of soft, clean woolly hair, and through this grows a rain coat of very long, straight brown hair like that of the Tibetan yak, soya -the Winnipeg Free l’ress.' It has a tall so short and small that the animal seema tailless. Their horns meet In a. broad base over the top of the skull, drop far down, then sharply curve upward for several Inches, ter .olnatlng In sharp points. They are specially designed for puncturing the vitals of wolves and polar bears. The musk ox lives and thrives even up to the farthest north fer hoofed animals Pretty Leger.d of Crosses Near the pluce wliere the Blue Bid x ,e and the Allegheny mountains unite there Is, In'l’atrick county, Va„ a spur of the Blue ilidge culled “Bull mountain.” On the side of this moun tain,- and nowhere else In the world, there are found the famous “fairy stones."

I Mfjny of these tanks have been built at great expanse, and it is not surprise ing that the protection of some god or goddess is necessary" for the’peace of mind of the people. A collection of legends connected with such tanks would not be with out interest. In the Kadur district of tlie Mysore state, there is a large artificial reservoir, known as Ay yankore, well known to planters who frequently enjoy duck shooting there. The legend connected with this lake is ag follows: Though the goddess of the neighborhood permitted the con struction of the bund, which held up tlie waters of the river, she was never really pleased about the matter. Af ter a number of years her patience was exhausted, and when the water man, in charge of tlie sluices, visited the place In the early morning, 'she accosted him, and then informed him tlmt she had determined to destroy tlie bund, and allow the waters to How in their usual "tourse. The water man thought of the king and the royal family, und the thousands of people in tlie town of Sacrapatna below. Falling down before the goddess he j- pleaded that he might be permitted to I go to* the town and inform the peo- i tile of the impending disaster, so that I i they, at least, might be saved. Tlie' goddep relented, and declared that she would not destroy the dam until the waterman returned to tell her that the-necessary warning had been given. Delighted to be able to con vey tlie warning to the king, the wa- tenaan ran to the town, and obtained permission to see the king. On hearing the condition laid down by the goddess, Aie king quickly saw away of escape. He immediately gave orders that \he waterman’s head should be cut off, so that he should not he able to return to the goddess. Hence it Is that the dam still holds. The goddess still waits patiently for the coming of the -waterman, and holds faithfully to her promise, o I Nature plays Uid shrevulest game. Jp IF YOU HAVE 5V wf Malaria, Piles.

Form FIRST Impressions are ot'ten tlie tpest lasting ones, and even i hough they may later ffe shown to have been erroneous, their effect Is hurd lo re move. The newspaper believes In "a good front page” iqd does ils best through thTs to attract and hold the attention. Good form, the arrange ment of the material of a- letter upon the. page, does much to get the atten tion of the reader at the outset, and to please him. Attention should be given to para graphing. Some writers make every sentence into a separate paragraph, thus destroying all proper* emphasis, and others make no paragraphs at all, and so jumble all’their Ideas into one grand, unassorted mess, like a family of twelve crowded Into a Ford cAupe. Paragraphs In the ordinary letter should, usually, not exceed more than one hundred to one hundred and fifty words. If you wish’your letter to look well, you will be sure to leave an even, reg ular margin on the left side of the sheet, varying In width from an Inch to an Inch and a quarter. A letter without a margin looks as sloppy, and untidy, as a man without a collar. A margin Is not necessary upon tlie right side of the sheet. Beginnings and endings are Impor tant. VVe are now much less formal ■ln the use of these conventional forms than our forefathers were. The salu tntlon of a letter Is not to be taken literally; there Is no suggestion of af fection In “Dear Miss Switzer,” or In “My dear Eleanor”; It Is simply a conventional form of salutation like “How do you do?” and Implies no state of mind, but is simply a method of getting started with the letter. The business letter addressed to a firm should begin “My dear Sirs,’’ “Gentlemen," or “Dear Sirs.” If to an individual, one may say “Dear Sir,” “My dear Sir,” or “My dear Mr. Johns.” The last of these forms in each case is the least formal, and the most friendly. The more formal forms are used when there Is no personal ac quaintance between the .persons con ducting the correspondence. If the persons concerned are close friends. It Is permissible to say, “My dear George.” These complimentary beginnings, ex cepting wheir they Include proper names, should in most cases have the first and last words only capitalized. Such complimentary beginning Is usually preceded by the name and ad dress of the one to whom the letter Is written, as follows: Mr. George Johns, Yorkvllle, Illinois. No one now who pays any attention to recognized conventional form, ever begins a letter “Sir,” Or “Mr. Johns," or “Friend Ford,” or even “Dear Friend.” There Is no reason for this, excepting that It marks one as “green” or Inexperienced. It Is like an adqlt speaking of his father as "papa” or “pa.” The complimentary close of a busi ness letter should be “Truly yours,” “Very truly yours,” “Yours truly,” or “Yours very truly." -Only the first word in any of these Is capitalized, rad one form Is as good as another. It is good form, when addressing a su perior officer to end the letter, “Very respectfully yours," or “Respectfully yours,” but In these days when one man thinks he is as good or better than another. It Is seldom done. Ab breviations may be used in a business letter, but It Is better not to do so. The friendly or social letter should not begin with the address Ot the per son Written to, but with the salutation as, “Dear Miss Warner,” “Dear (or My dear) Roger.” There Is little or no difference between “Dear Roger,” and “My dear Roger.” The address of the one to whom the social letter Is writ ten may be placed at the close of the letter In the lower left hand corner, no abbreviations being used. It is better to sign at least pne, full given name, since there are so many ■men with the same initials, and this a woman should always do, in order that her sex should be Indicated. A married woman In signing her name to a letter should use her own name, as “Elizabeth B. Johnson,” and In writing to anyone, excepting to her Intimate friends, she should Indicate the fact that she Is married, by writ ing her own name, followed by her husband's name (Mrs. O. C. Johnson) In parentheses. One’s signature should, be plainly written so that there will be no con fusion In the mind of anyone who tries to make It out. In’ a typewritten letter, it Is a good plan for business men to employ the military method of signing the letter over the typewrit ten signature. Itf social letters, one cannot do this, an£ so should be care ful to write plainly. Some men, bankers often, take pride In signing their names so that the sig nature can neither be forged nor de ciphered. This practice may be a pro tection, but It causes tho'Se to whom they may write, considerable annoy ance. Such men ought always to have their names printed or engraved at tbe top of the sheet on which they are writing. 1925, by Western Newspaper Union) Far From Home have an idea.

DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of “HEALTH" (CO. 1986, Westnrn Now. paper Union.) IDIOSYNCRASY TDIOSYNCRASY. This Is a long ■‘•word. What does it mean? It stands for something which we know exists but no one knows what it Is. A familiar proverb which goes back to the old Greek writers is that "One man's meat is another man's poison." This is a terse way of saying that a food which will agree with and nour ish one person will produce Injurious effects on another. The food is Just the same in both Instances, so the difference must be in the Individuals. What Is the difference? No one knows. Yet strawberries, which most people enjoy, will cause nausea and vomiting and a severe rash, in some cases. 1 recall a patient who could not eat lobster. Her friends knew it and never offered it to her. Taking lunch at a hotel with friends, a salad was ordered which contained a smalt amount ht lobster meat, although this was not known to any of the party. Inside of ten minutes after eating the salad, this lady was taken violently ill. By the time she could be taken to a room and undressed, her body wag covered from head to foot with JK'vlvld scarlet irruption. The other members of the party, who ate ex actly the same salad, showed no symptoms at all. Certain drugs produce unusual ef fects on some people. Others are urt pleasanny affected by the odors of cqytaln flowers or the presence of cer tain animals. At a recent meeting of Gerjnan scientists, Professor Dorr of Basel dis cussed this subject, which has be come one of practical importance on account of the different way in which individuals are affected by animal serums. It has been found that the various individual forms of sensitiveness possess the same peculiarities. A person who is unusually sensitive to one material is sensitive to that ma terial alone; that is, a person who cannot eat lobster can eat oysters and -fish with immunity. A person who is sensitive to strawberries can eat apples, grapes, plums or pears without any discomfort. Another pe culiarity is that the symptoms caused in a sensitive person have nothing whatever to do with the effects that the same substance produces in nor mal individuals. The third peculiar ity is that symptoms produced by any of these objects In any individual who is sensitive to them are all alike. This-is also true of animal serums. Probably hay fever is the best-known example of such sensitiveness. No one knows why certain persons ure sensitive to certain objects. Not knowing the cause, however has not prevented scientific men from giving these peculiar conditions a name nearly as long as the old one. Cases of idiosyncrasy are now said to be caused by anaphylaxis. This does not increase our knowledge, but it gives us one long word to take the place of another. EYESIGHT VARIES WITH AGE XX7HISN are your eyes the best? At what age does the average per son see clearest? The United States public health service has endeavored to answer tills question by a careful examination of the eyes of ten thou sand persons. Half of them were school boys from six to sixteen and half of them were working men from .eighteen up. The boys were public "school pupils in South Carolina, Mary land, Delaware and New York amK the workmen were employees in post offices, in glass, pottery, foundry, steel, chemical, cigar, gas and cement industries in various parts of the United Status. This number is large enough to in clude every variety of sight defect. What were the results of this large number of examinations? The public health experts found that the percentage (that is, the num her out of every one hundred persons examined) of persons with normal vision Increased with age from six years up to eighteen years, after which it declined and that the rate of decline was much more rgpid after forty-five than before. This would indicate that In chil dren with good eyesight, school work was not as hard a strain on the eyes as different forms of work taken up after leaving school. The investigation also showed that if the eyes were markedly defective, school work still further weakened them and that the percentage of per sons with markedly defective vision increased steadily after six years of age. The rate of increase was more rapid uuring school r.ge than in the early years of industrial work. Tlie percentage of persons with moderately defective vision decreased during the school ages, then increased from twenty to fifty and then declined again. The general conclusion from these facts would seem to be that if one bus good eyes, school work Improves the vision but that, in persons with poor eyesight, school work is harder than industrial work, probably be cause persons having very poor eyes naturally select work which does not require acute vision. In any case, the eyesight is best at about eighteen years /A Sweet Breath at alt times j After mint or smoking Wrigleyh fmaetn die mouth and sweeten* die breath.

Ring I married a young man not greatly blessed with worldly goods, says a writer In the Washington Star. It taxed his financial resources to the uttermost to start even our modest housekeeping, so our engagement was not sealed with the customary ring, al though I did have a small wedding ring. v During our ear% married life we had to work and plan to make Just a poor living for our three little girls, for although John’s salary-lncrsssed, so did living expenses, and luxuries were unknown. Soon after our eldest daughter be came engaged, John made quite a sum of money on a business deal. One eve ning he came home with an expensive looking ring box, and, opening it, showed us a beautiful diamond ring. We all supposed it to be an engage ment present for daughter. She looked- complacent; while the younger girls were frankly envious. My heart fluttered When John Inter rupted with: “Here, wait a minute. That’s mother’s engagement ring. Goodness knows -she's waited long enough for It, but now’s the first time I’ve been’able to afford the kind she deserves.” indent Pleasure Spot At Scarborough, known throughout Great Britain as the "Queen of Water ing Places,” after 200 years of service, the once popular mineral springs, have I been closed. Scarborough has long been a place of recreation. The min eral springs are said to have, been dis covered in 1620, and, towards the end of that century, the place was becom ing fashionable, and a building was erected over the springs. Then came the earthquake, following which the springs were lost for some years, but they were found again, and the plaqe was a great resort of fashion In the Eighteenth century v In 1777, for In stance, Sheridan could take Lord Fop plngton and the rest on a trip to Scar borough, to taste the “noise and folly of the place.”

Animal Lite on Everest Animal life, it appears, Is' to bye fojind on high mountains far beyond plant growth. The highest growing plant that the Mount Everest expe dition of 1924 observed was the blue vetch, at 18,000 feet, but animals live at as great a height as 22,000 “A minute and Inconspicuous black spider,” says a member’of the expedi tion, “hops about on rocky cliffs and Jlides beneath stones In those bare jt* places that happen to be swept clear [of snow by the windf I cannot think on what It lives at gueh a height. In these altitudes there is no other liv ing thing—nothing,but rock and Ice.” This little spider is worthy of note as being the highest permanent In habitant of the earth. M Soy Bean Excellent Food Food specialists after traveling through the Old world report they find that millions of people In China, Japan and other countries in Asia depend on the soy bean for food and find Jt con tains many of the qualities found In meat, men being able to work hard, even In the heaviest of toll, when sup plied with plenty of soy bean bread or mush, or the various forms in which It Is served when cooked as a vegetable.

M Birds Killed by Cara .on English Highways Correspondents of a British Journal devoted to motorcar matters are writ ing that many birds are killed by auto lsts. One man relates: “I am on the road every day and nearly all day, and birds large and small will‘'lnsist on flying Into my front wheels I hav£ killed several lately.”' A second say a: "I killed three between 7 a. m. and 9 a. m.” We probably have In this coun try more cars running about In any well-populated district than they have In England. Are we killing birds In this fashion? The editor of the York shire Post comments- on this matter thus: “We imagine that the casual ties In bird-life-brought about by mo tors depend very much on the season of the year. In late summer great numbers of young birds throng the hedges on the roadsides. They are able to fly, but have not learned wis dom from experience, and may easily fall victims. It takes time for wild creatures to adapt themselves to strange contrivances hurtling through their hauntp.
