CASSIDY GOES
TO BALTIMORE
Former Superintendent in
New Position.

Patrick II. Cassidy, who resigned
last week as superintendent of the
Staten Island Rapid Transit, as told
in the NEWS at that time, leaves
Staten Island for Baltimore next
Monday, July Is, to become assistant
to Vice President A. w. Thompson,
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
The resignation created quite a stir
when it was first announced because
of the fact that Mr.. Cassidy and fam
lily were not DESTROYS of leaving
Staten Island. Mr.. Cassidy had been
connected with the Rapid Transit
for the past twenty-five years and so
informed the NEWS that he was go
ing to take a much needed vacation.
His many friends on Staten Island
wish him success in his new and
higher position. Mr.. Cassidy has
been succeeded as superintendent by
J. II. Clark, the master mechanic and
superintendent of floating equipment
of the railroad. "a

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From Tubercu.
osls Means Saving Of $4,000
Lives In Ten Years.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the
death rate from tuberculosis in the
United States declined from 1863 for
each 10000 persons living to 1903, a
decrease Of 1877 per cent, while the
general death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only one-half
as fast, or at the rate of 81 per cent,
from 1850 to 1858, according to
figures given out by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Prevention
- tuberculosis. The figures are based
on data distracted from the reports
of the United States Bureau Of the
census, and cover the registration
area in this country According to
the statement, the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since 1904,
when it was 201.6. On the other
hand, the general death rate shows a
fuctuation downward in general trend,
but not as steady as the tuberculosis
rate. The decline in the tuberculosis
death rate in the last ten years means
a saving of $1,000 lives at the present
time

Elisha Ridgeway was a simple man
OF forty and lived on farm alone
and made his own bed and did his
own cooking. Time after time he was
asked why he didn't marry. and time
after time his reply was;
"Mebbe I orter and mebbe not.
dunno bout IT,"
But there came a time when he did
know. II was about year after the
death Of farmer Baker Elisha had
known him and his wife for ten years.
For twelve months he went over and
helped the widow out as a duty, but
one day he stopped his horses at the
pillow and rubbed bis chin in reflect
i've way and said to himself:
Gosh all fsh-hooks, but | guess |
ought to marry Nancy! That hired
man of hers needs a man to boss him.
and some of her COWS are always
ailin' or the hogs havin' the cholera.
Elisha Ridgeway, it's your duty"
That evening he went over to see
the widow. He was more quiet than
usual, and by and by she took notice
and asked:
Lisha, anything on your mind?"
Jest a leetle," was the reply.
'Tater-bugs amt come, have theyT
Haven't got a squint of a single
one"
Didn't lose any turkeys by the last
cold rain?"
''Noap What's on my mind, Nancy,
Is gettin' married"
For the lands sake!"
"Yes, thought you'n me would get
married."
Hear the man talk"
YES, I'm a-talkin'. Thought It all
over this afternoon. Better set the
weddin' day"
Elisha Ridgeway was good-natured
man and meant well, but he made a
mistake. He made it because he was
an old bachelor. 1t did not occur to
him that a woman must be won. Even
a cross-eyed, lop-shouldered woman

Elisha been courting for even a month
things might have been different, but
he hadn't courted at all. He had sim

and talked crops and country gossip.
There had been glorious sunsets and

PASSING OF THE CHAPER0N
Her Number Is Being Reduced to an
Extent That Threatens Com

That the chaperon will soon be ex-
tinct is probable. No longer does she
SIT back forgotten, beaming benevo-
lently upon the young people assem-
bled in her charge; nor is she yet a
severe, silent, stout parsonage, damp
ening the ardor Of aspiring lovers, re-
aucing laughter and undue hilarity to
a minimum with her overawing pres
snce.
But the question remains whether
We are altogether wise in reducing her
numbers to such an extent that she is
In immediate danger Of complete ex-
termination.
Girls in their first twenties-and
even in their teens-run about with
boys and young men at their own
sweet will, treating them with hale
and hearty comradeship, which GER
lainIy makes for the gayety Of life, but
which. by eliminating sentiment, acts
as a deterrent to marriage. And it is
not only the young men Of the year
1919 who are reluctant to bind them

HOME MADE BUTTONS
SOME LITTLE TIPS THAT WILL BE
FOUND HELPFUL.
The story Of the Button Has No End
When the Quick Eye Can orasp
the Little Touches on the
Expensive Gown.

This season is surely a button sea
son, and II you care not to give your
order for molds to be covered, you
can make your own quite easily.
Do not make the mistake Of cutting
the circular piece to cover the wooden
form too large This makes need
less bulk on the under side Of the
button and prevent a fiat, wellad-
lusted mold In trimming.
Cut the pieces from a pasteboard
pattern all at one snip of the scissors
Then begin with a wooden form. After
gathering the circular piece, slip It
over the button, draw up the thread
and sew across with a few stitches If
possible, attach Immediately to the
dress with the same thread.
Satin buttons, velvet, linen, lace
over silk and embroidered buttons are
easily fashioned.
Have you priced hand-embroidered
buttons? Well, sit right down, sister,
and make your own. After covering
with silk, take coarse silk and cross
In either two or three diagonals. Knot
1t the center, and then from this point
weave over and under the radiating
lines until a spider.web effect is OBJ
tanned. The stitch is quite like that
which we used in our renaissance lace
work years ago.
Gold and colored net over silk gives
very good imitation OF embroidery.
Lace with a flower pattern can be ap-
piled with the blossom in the center
of the button. A touch of colored
thread over white applique lace adds
wonderfully.
Cretonne-covered buttons are good;
Irish lace roses sewed on linen-cover-
ed buttons can be easily made. In
deed, the story of the button has no
end when a quick eye can grasp the
little touches that are apparent on ex-
pensive gowns.
