New York-Lawrence Waterbury,
at a dinner he gave at Sherry's, out
did the king of the nursery rhymes
who lad served to his guests a pie
With four and twenty chirping black
birds uxasEzeazas~uaAs~-
The ten Or twelve guests were
seated at a special table In one Of the
alcoves Of the main dining room The
guest OF honor arose to make q for
NAL speech of thanks, and the crowd
was preparing to break up when Mr..
Waterbury gave an order. and three
walters wheeled in an enormous pie.
perforated with an artistic carving OF
"Old King Cole" seated at his east.
And when the pie was opened a
erog began to croak; also, a toad ap-
peared. and a small black cat, not
many days old, but alive and fuzzy,
and a long, green lizard. which
squirmed and made for the edges of
the table, but which proved quite
ocile and amiable.
There was an animal for each OF
the guests when the dish was scraped
clean. and the table represented q
miniature ZOO. What became OF the
frog and the toad is not known, other
than that some members of the din
ner party went searching for a foun-
tain about the lobby. The cat was
taken home in an overcoat pocket.
and the lizard, too, lived to see an
other day. Attached to n OF his
hind legs was a small gold chain. and
the guest favored with this reptile
proudly exhibited him, pinned to the
lapel of his coat, at the club later In
the night.

come and be treated by experts with

shortly be established in all such To-

ed out by the State Health Depart
ment which handles for Virginia the
contributions of the Rockefeller San

Every person in the State is to be
given a chance to be cured of the
disease without cost. With the re-
search into conditions largely COM

fection pretty well determined, the
department feels that the time has
come eo wipe hookworm out OF Vir

scene of the dispensaries. Six
points will be designated to begin
with. and the specialists of the de-
partment will be present on days
which will be advertised. Every
body will be invited-those who
have hOokwOrm and those who don't
know whether they are infected or
not. Examinations will be made
and the treatment administered.
