FIFTY YARD DASH
RECORD BROKEN
Four Local Women Now Hold
Honor-Race Pulled Of
on Third Avenue.

The tri-city 5O-yard dash record
was beaten to a FRAGILE last evening
shortly before S bells on Third ave
nue. between Twentieth and Twenty
first streets. by four local women.
Witnesses state that the sprinters
made the so yards in about five sec
onds fiat, all of the trio hitting the
tape al Twentieth street at the same
time.
The cause OF the excitement was
merely little gray opossum about the
size OF a cat which the frightened
women took for gray wolf
An old darby. known TO his friends
Bs Nose" who has his abode in local
Chocolatetowu. had secured the opos-
sum from a friend In South Rock Is
land and was returning home with it.
The opossum made his debut about
the time that old Nose reached the
alleyway in the rear OF the Hartz &
Bahnsen building, having guawed a
hole in the gunny sack in which he
was being carried II was just at
this juncture. when Nose and opOssum
Was playing hide and seek that the
women happened along. When Nj
Opossum ran out OF the alleyway with
Nose In pursuit, there was a cry Of
wolf and a chorus OF screams and
then a mad dash for Twentieth street.
Nose finally coruered the opossum and
captured It after considerable maneuy-

Redeeming a Nations Credit.

The Century will continue its after
the War" series in the July number with
an article by Mr.. Charles A. Conant ON
"The Return TO Hard Money" which
tells how the nations credit was re-
deemed after the Civil war. Mr.. Conant
will describe Jay Gould's famous gold
corner that brought about the panic Of
1869; the Chicago and Boston fires and
wildcat speculation in railroad stocks,
which led to the panic of 1873; Mr.. Bry
ans free silver campaign; and the re-
suits of the vast increase in the worlds
gold.

MILLSTONES ON THE INCREASE.
Large Increase Was Shown in Production
in 1912.

1t is generally supposed that the use
of milestone is becoming less and less
each year because of the introduction
of other grinding machinery, but on the
contrary, according to figures made
public by the United States geological
survey, the value of the production of
burrstones, chases, and drag
stones in this country in 1912, amount
ing to SI1,4l4, was the largest since
1888, when it amounted to $s1 900, and
was an increase of S31, 345 over the
figures for 1911. The replacement of
the millstones, it was assumed. would
be gradual and the value of millstones
would therefore show a steady falling
off. This, however, has not been the
case. From maximum value of $780,
900 in 1880 the value fell to 100000
in 1887 from SS1, 900 in 1883 the value
declined rapidly to $l6,5s7 in 1891; in
the following year there was a rise
in value to S23,417, followed by a
marked decline until the lowest value
ever reported. $13,Ss7. was reached in
1894. Since that year the values have
risen and fallen. Millstones were pro-
luced in 1912 in Alabama. New York,
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Vir-
yinia The output in New York was
between two and three times that of
1911, and this state regained its lead in
,he milestone industry in the United
States.

for Better Babies.

The Woman's Home Companion,
which is carrying on great campaign
for Better Babies" publishes the fol-
lowing in its July number:
Uncle Sam spends money pretty
wisely on the whole. The appropria-
ton for the department of agriculture,
which amounts to about Sl7 100000, is
not one cent too large. 1t is building
up the material prosperity of our most
important class of citizens; it brings
comfort and happiness and education
and ideals to the door of the American
farmer; it distributes information Of
incalculable value, expensive to acquire
and disseminate; it gives a marvellous
mail service; in fact, it provides the
farmer with friendly and efficient aid
in every branch of his business.
"The editor of the Womans Home
Companion on a recent visit to Wash
ington spent most interesting morn
ing in the inspection of some branches
OF the agricultural department and in
talking with some OF its officials.
From the agricultural department
the editor proceeded to an office build
ing in rather QUITO the-way part of
the city where is located the children's
bureau, with Miss Julia G. Lathrop in
charge. Miss Lathrop is the only
woman at the head OF a government
bureau; she secured her appointment
through her efficiency and earnestness
rather than through political influence.
AS the chief of this bureau, Miss
Lathrop is supposed to investigate and
report on all matters pertaining to the
welfare of children and child life, and
to questions of infant NOR
tality, the birth rate, orphanage, juye-
nile courts, child desertion, dangerous
accidents and diseases of
employment, and legislation
affecting children in the several states
Miss Lathrop's salary is 5000 a year;
lhe has fourteen carefully selected as
sistants. chiefly college graduates,
whose salaries aggregate nearly $4,000
year; for the rent of her Office she is
allowed $4,000 a year. The appro-
oriation for the children's bureau is
lhout 10000 year. Deducting sala
les and rent, this leaves something
'ver $4,000 a year for supplies, postage,
printing, and the various expenses incl
lent to an important bureau.
Seventeen millions year for better
arms
Thirty thousand a year for better
'abies
rs this giving Miss Lathrop chance
o accomplish the purpose for which |
he children's bureau was created?"
