EGG HUNT

On Saturday evening the Rosebud
Society of Bland Gtree: Methodist
church held an egg hunt and social
at the home OF the lady manager
Mrs. Kits, on Higginbotham avenue.
About sixty children attended and
70. two hours they had a jolly time,
hunting the hidden eggs, pnning
rabbit ears, running egg races, and
IN other forms of amusement sutia-
Bile to the occasion. The prize for
finding the greatest number of eggs,
a toy rabbit. went TO Abel a Shelton
She found six. Hobar: Hare. a Nur-
year-old tot. got the prize for affixing
the rabbits ear. The egg race prize
chickens were awarded to Eugenia
Cassidy. Frances Fitzgerald and Ma
ry Kahle. All were treated to cam
dy, after which the goth century mar
tyr, S. S. Wallace, was called on TO
photograph the company. Wallace
had the time Of his fe. He got the
sixty children quiet long enough to
get pretty good picture, and If you
notice any additional gray hairs in
his head do not attrl butte them to
Saturdays experience.
The success of the egg hunt is
due in large measure to the Soci-
ety's president. Miss Rebecca Lowder
who planned it and worked hard for
it Some of the children say Rebecca
Is "bossy." And so she is-that il
the 6ecret of her success. She knows
what she wants done and she sees
that it is done. She makes a fine
officer.

SENATOR ELK|NS ON
COAL RATES IN
TARIFF BILL
(Conti1ued from page one)

ent law has aided in this fraud on
the revenues.
There was no contention on the
part of Mr.. Elkins that the products
of the West Virginia mines should
be protected at The expense Of the
other sections Of the country. He
said he wanted to see the peaks in
tariff legislation cut down and a
more equitable adjustment agreed
upon chat would deal justly with ey-
cry section of the country and raise
sufficient revenue to maintain tn s
government. He declared that if
there was a general reduction on all
products-and not on a few and
those few at the expense of certain
sections OF the country-he woul1
be willing to see coal bear its share
Of the general reduction.
CLOSE DOORS OF FRAUD
Under such general aad equ ia
bic reduction, coal, he said, might
be placed at so cents ton. AS to
| slack, Mr.. Elkins expressed The belief
that there should not be so wide a
difference between the rate it carrie !
and that on coal itself. If the rate
on coal is reduced to 80 cents, then
slack, he continued, should be fixod
at 80 cents. This would close the
door to the frauds that are now
pract ced. But there reductions, NJ.
Elkins said, the coal men would
agree to only in the event there q
a genuine and equitable reduction al
along the line of natural products
Considerable Of Mr.. Elkins' argu-
me1t was based upon the cost Of
transportation as a controlling fac
tor in the expense of gett ng coal 20
its market. The value OF the coal
produced last year in this country ne
paced at 419, 100000 tons, valued
at the mines at about $5OO,OOO,OOO
The average cost OF transportation
was 81 a ton The coal and it's trans
portation, therefore, represented an
investment Of 100000, 900 annu-
ally OF this West Virginia contrib
utod 100000 and paid for trans
portation $7O,OOO,OOO, making a net
profit Of only ] 5 cents a ton. In the
state there are 10000 miners on
whose labor 100000 people depend.
The average through rate on this
coal is about $tG0 q ton. Mr. Elkins
showed that the cost OF coal, ali
charges carefully considered, deliver
ed delivered in Boston, was from
$3.50 to $3.50 ton, while coal from
Nova Scotia was delivered there a.
from $3.20 to $3.50 a ton.
He discussed the differences I'm the
labor cost and concluded with tic
prediction that n Canada could ex-
port to the United States 1,4OO. 900
tons annually on a duty Of 60 cents
ton, then. IL the reciprocal arrange
ment were made the imports from
that country soon would jump TO s.
100000 tons, while every ton Of
Canadian coal imported meant chat
much loss Of labor TO the American
miners that many additional men out
OF work, with a corresponding loss
In other lines OF industry dependent
upon the product OF the coal mines

Three Hair Specialists.

Three of the leading authorities on
the scalp and hair are Woods Hutchill-
son, M. D., and Dr. J. G. Bayles of Ne"
York, and DIR. Lassar Of Germany,
Anything these celebrated writer's may
say is the result of long experience and
thorough investigation, and largely 10
f1uences the whole medical profession.
1t is remarkable that all three of these
authorities agree absolutely that the
first and foremost thing to do in
treating hair and scalp troubles is tG
keep the head clean by frequent wash
ing Dr. Lassar says that the first step
in treating dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair is to keep the scalp clean
by washing. This should be done daily
in the beginning, and as the scalp as
sumes a more normal condition, one"
a week will be sufficient to keep the
hair and scalp healthy. Woods Hutcn-
inson, M. D., says: 1.-The main hope Of
stopping the advance of badness lies
in the direction of improving the gem
eral health and vigor, while at INC
same time keeping the scalp and hair
| in a clean, antiseptic, well-ventilated
| condition. Avoid using too strong
soaps, strong alkalis. such as ammonia
| these take out too much Of the nat
ural lubricant, or oil, of the hair, ard
| leave it dry and harsh DR.. j. G.
| Bayles says: 1.-THE only thing the lay
man can do to avert badness is to
keep the head clean and cool" Modern
thought is all in the direction Of
| cleanliness, as the opinions of these
| three eminent men go to show. The
day of fake tonics, reviewers, growers
and invigorators is close at hand. The
public has been defrauded so long that
nothing but worthy things will find d
sale. Falling hair, itching scalp and
dandruff cannot be cured by fakes ard
frauds. The only sure way to benefit
the hair and scalp is to keep then
| clean and free from dust and disease
germs. For this purpose Brit's Head
| Wash, the new scientific preparation is
most highly recommended because il
is made of Refined Soap. White of
Eggs, Cochin Cocoanut Oil, Glycerine
and Salicylic Acid. Ask your doctor
about it.

was at the age of Is years apprenticed
to the late Daniel D. Flynt, father of
Charles F. Flynt OF this city. Sir
Hiram learned the carriage makers
trade, but has since acquired fame as
the inventor of high explosives and

1t is truthfully said that there are
tricks in all trades, and here is one that
has been brought about by the high
price of eggs and the prevalence of
''embalmed" or case eggs in the mar
ket. According to the story that is
going the rounds the wife of an Au-
gusta man who is employed in one of
the Wholesale provision houses of the
city wanted same fresh eggs, and when
an honest farmer called at the house
oneN forenoon with several dozen in a
basket she lost no time in making a
dicller for the lot, paying the price
charged at the stores. She was so
overjoyed at her bargain that when
her husband came home at noon she
lost no time in telling him of it. but i'm
agine her feelings when after looking
over the eggs her husband remarked :
HUH Those amt fresh eggs; they
are case eggs and l sold 'em early
this morning to the old man you
bought 'am e."

The Springer Family.
(CNnrfunicatedJ. !

Baron Christopher Springer, born 1903.
of Stockholm, Sweden, the father of Lo-
rentz, who settled In Rhode Island, and
Carl, who made his home in Delaware, is
the ancestor from whom most of the
their lineage. He was not of Swedish, but
of German descent.
Dicson Gilling of Philadelphia published
a book in 1880 giving the gepealogy of
the ancient line Of Springers back to A.
d. 1896, when the name originated. Also
from 1886 to Alfred the Great of England
(died in SOD, Henry the Fowler Of Ger
many (died 1866, to Pharamond, who be-
gan to reign in A. D. 420 and died in AT.
According to old stories, this prince was
descendant in the 37th generation from
Antenor, King of Cimbria, near the Black
sea, who issued from the Trojans and
reigned in A. NJ. $500.
The enemies of Louis or Ludwig I'd,
count or landgreve of Thuringer, plotted
to get rid of him and succeeded in Law
ing him imprisoned in Giebrichenstein
castle near Halle on the Saale After two
yeaIy, in 1885, he made his escape by an
adventurous spring from the tall battle
ments of the castle into the river, in con-
sequence of which his cousin, Conrad I'd
of Germany called him THE Springer"
The Springers counts of Springers) rul-
ed Thuringer Meissene. etc, for over 400
years. They were known in German his
tory as the counts of Thuringer
The Springer coat of arms is COM
posed of a quartered shield or escutcheon.
In the upper left and lower right quar-
tiers is springbok or springing stag sup
ported by mound or hill. The remain
ing quarters are divided by barriers. The
shield is surmounted by a helmet, which
is crowned with 1.-The crown of Lorraine"
The crest consists of a stag springing
from between two eagles wings cut off
evenly at the ends.
1t is claimed by interested investigators
that the descendants of Carl and Lorentz
Springer leased for SO years to the "Old
Swedish church, of Wilmington, Del, the
greater portion of the land on which that
city is built The leases having expired
an effort was made in 1880 by the heirs
to obtain their Inheritance, but in conse-
quence of the loss of the original leases
and also that portion Of the books which
should be in the recorders Office in Will
mington, in which those leases We're re-
corded, they failed to establish their
claims. In April of the present year an
organization was formed in Franklin,
Maine, to be known as Maine State AS
ISOLATION of Springer Heirs of America
Lewis S. Springer of West fremont,
Maine, was chosen president and E. L.
Scribner of Amesbury, Mass, secretary
and genealogist. Mr.. Scribner assisted by
other members of the association has
been hard at work on the case and claims
to have already unearthed and gained
possession of one document properly ex-
ecuted and sealed by notary public which
he considers valuable evidence and pos
sibly the key to the whole situation.
Another meeting is soon to be held in
Boston by the Maine State Association of
Springer Heirs, when the report of Sec
rotary Springer will be given IN full.

SAILS SEAS 1856 YEARS.
Small SIoop, Still in Service, Has
Helped to Make History.

Still busy, although she was built in
1928, is the little Danish sloop Con-
stance. The thirty-five-ton craft gets
her cargoes of -four and lime over the
same belts, sounds. fjords and 'skats'
with which she has been familiar for
lS6 years.
In 1868 the Constance had thorough
overhauling and was heightened five
remains from that old time, writes
AXcl Holme in International Marine
Engineering.
At the age of $50 this little vessel
reached. sister of hers in distress in
the Great Belt between Zealand and
Finen. She took the cargo of the oth-
er and started for Matinee, Sweden,
where she was overtaken on Christmas,
1902. by a hurricane. She grounded
and filed near the scene of her rescue,
but the rough treatment did her no
harm.
Her present owner and skipper Is
Captain j. Jensen of Lohais, Denmark,
who has owned her since 1889.
After he is through with her she will
probably be preserved through pub
lie subscription for the purpose and
turned over to the Danish government
or some historical association, to be
sacredly guarded.
Until 1882, under the name of the
Four Berthern Ode Fire Brodre), she
belonged to the same family for eighty
years, sailed by son and father between
Denmark and Christina. From 1882
to 1889 she was the property of Captain
c. Boie Of Marshal, Denmark, and bore
The signhoard Catarina.
She was puilt at Aero of oak that
has Gefied the tooth of time. 1t is es-
timated that she has conveyed in all
more than 100000 tons of merchandise.
Under the same flag are thirty-two
vessels launched before 1926. OF these
seven We're built before $500. One OF
them, the schooner Nigilant, was built
in Baltimore in 1890, and has ever since
seen service in the Danish West Indies.
In the war between Denmark and
Great Britain, 1SG7-iS14, the Vigilant
fought VIGOROUSLY as a rrvateer.
