Little things still keep right on
leading to bigger things
When Byron X. Newton. assistant
secretary of the treasury, was special
writer on the New York Herald years
ago. he was amused every once in a
while by seeing a stray paragraph in
one of the papers about an unknown
lawyer named McAdoo who proposed
to build a tunnel under the Hudson
river. The thing started nowhere and
ended in Hoboken, besides being a
proposition that had already been
tried and abandoned as an engineer
ing lmpossibility. Every time New
ton thought of the poor simple
minded lawyer who dreamed such
absurdities he chuckled 10 himself.
and at last he determined to hunt the
man up just as he afterward ex-
pressed il, Ito see what the poor.
blamed fool looked like"
After hunting for On hour or two
he finally located McAdoo tucked
away in a dreary little office in Wall
st.
And Newton sat there in the office
talking to McAdOO for just exactly
seven hours and a half. McAdoo in
terested him and impressed him.
He felt sorry for McAdoo as an un-
fortunate, misguided dreamer who

be done, yet he saw that if the thing
only coulG be done, McAdoO would be
the man to do it.
Newton went TO his office and wrote
a Sunday page about McAdoO and
his dream. That story marked the
beginning of McAdoo and his tunnel
project being taken more seriously.
Until then the only attention paid to
him had been as a subject for amuse-
ment or pity.
From that time on McAdoo has
kept coming more and more into
prominence and Newton has always
been associated with him behind the
scenes. Several times Newton got
leave of absence from his paper for
a few months while he went 10 "help
out McAdOO." All through the vari-
Gus steps incident to the big tunnel
proposition Newton wrote publicity
stuff. advised. abetted, and made him
self generally useful. When McAdoo
got into the managerial end of the
Wilson campaign. one Of the first
things he did was TO send for by
Newton.
And when McAdoo stepped into the

Sailing NEW BORN BABIES

An old superstititno is that II a
newborn baby is carefully and
abundantly sailed he will be strong
and hardy when he grows up, and
that moreover evil spirits will never
be able to pursue him. And this GUS
tom is still chung to in various parts
of the world, though the method of
procedure Is different with different
peoples.
In certain parts of Russia, especial
ly among some of the Armenian set
Elements, the sailing of an infant is
an occasion of great celebration, an
event in the life of the youngster
which is going to influence the whole
of his life
The baby is rubbed well with fine
salt, which is left on for about five
hours, and during that time songs
are sung, food and drinks partaken
OF and all the relatives and friends
join in the celebration. If this cere-
mony is neglected bad luck is certain
to follow the child even to the last
years of his life.
Mountain tribes of Asia Minor in
dulge in the same belief, though with
them the baby is generally left from
thirty to thirty-five hours in the salt
The longer the duration of time the
better chances for good fortune has
the infant.

and the sentries they pass issue the
usual challenge of who goes there?"
to which the answer is Keys"
Arriving at the entrance to the
Tower grounds, the Lions Gate, the
porter locks the gates, and the party
returns to the guard room, the cen
try challenging as before and receiy-
ing the same answer. However, on
arrival at the guard room again, the
sentry stationed there stamps his
foot, at the same time giving the
usual challenge.

Whose keys?" the sentry asks
King Georges keys"
Advance King Georges keys, and

The porter then says: God bless

luted and returned to the governors
