Typhoid From Rural Districts.

The New York board of health has
reissued a pamphlet by DR.. Charles F.
Goldman on the relative prevalence OF
typhoid fever in urban and rural dis.
tricts. In these vacation days it is i'm.
portant for city dwellers to realize
that, in the words of DR.. Goldman,
lover half Of the typhoid infections oc-
curing in the city of New York are of
rural origin"
That typhoid may be more prevalent
in cities than in the country, in pro-
portion to population, is neither here
nor there, for a single case of typhoid
on farm has been known to give rise
to more than three hundred cases in
New York city. The reason, of course,
is that all the water and most of the
food used in the city comes from the
country.

To Give Children Birthrioht.

The advisability of legislation in
New York for the benefit of children
of marriages entered into in reliance
on divorces which the New York
courts will not recognize is indicated
in the decision of the court of appeals
in Baylis VS.. Baylis. The decision
shows that legislation is necessary in
order that children Of marriage en-
tered into in good faith may be relieved
of slur on their names and a grave
disqualification as to the rights Of
property. The court held that the
statute providing that where it ap-
pears that a marriage was contracted
by at least one of he parties in good
faith and in the full belief that the for
mer wife or husband was dead, or
without any knowledge by the inno-
cent party of said former marriage,
the children of the subsequent mar
riage are deemed to be legitimate chill
dren of the parent competent to con-
tract the marriage, does not include a
case in which the innocent party act
ed on the erroneous belief that the
other had been legally divorced.

SAHARA MAY Be RECLAIMED
No Obstacle There That Modern En-
cheering Art Could Not Easily
Overcome, Says Expert.

"In the popular mind the reclaim
alton of the desert of Sahara is re-
garded as one of the most moDU nent-
al tasks which could be undertaken,
but, as a matter Of fact, it is quite
simple" said a well-known engineer
who has just returned from abroad.
1T is a much simpler project than
the draining and irrigation of Upper
Egypt, which has been recently &C.
complished by the English govern
ment. The Sahara was once a fertile
spot, covered with large rivers, and
part of the scheme contemplates the
utilization Of these old river beds,
abandoned by nature, for the purpose
of again conveying the water which
is rejuvenate this desolate area. By
the erection of dam at Tossaye it is
proposed to catch the summer over
flow of the Niger and to irrigate the
district between Timbuctu and Ara
wan, and the restoration of this dis
trict will offer encouragement for the
construction of railroad through it,
whereupon the present traffic of the
River Senegal will be taken over by
the railroad, and then it will be feas-
ible to make use of the Senegal for
irrigation. 1t is proposed eventually
to extend the railroad across the con-
tinent and make connections with the
line which is now pushing it's way
northerly from one end of Africa to
the other"

WEALTH NOT GRASPED
MEN WHO OWNED OIL LANDS
LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Boston Man Writes Entertainingly Of
the Early Days Before the Worth
of Natural OIL Was of Com
mon knowledge.

Lately the Transcript published
news of proposal to erect a monu-
ment to Edward l.. Drake, who was
enc of the earliest to strike oil in
Pennsylvania 1t recalled incidents
of my early life that may be of in
terest to others. have letter writ
ten by a brother of my mother from
Cannaught, Pa, in 1924; he was a
contractor on one of the canals that
were being constructed at that time.
He gives a sketch of the times and
customs and tells Of the various canals
being planned at that time, and con-
cludes by saying: "If all the canals are
built that are now projected, Pitts
burgh will become quite CITY," Ow-
ing to this knowledge my uncle-Hen-
ry Burleigh Smith-obtained in this
work. he advised his brother-St. John
Smith-to go into the wild land specu-
lation that broke out about that time.
The firm (Smith & Brown of Portland,
Me- had already dipped in pretty
deep by buying wild lands in eastern
Maine. However, they bought few
townships in what afterwards proved
to be the heart of the oil region. They
sent one of their friends, who had just
failed in business, to look after the
property. His wife accompanied him,
and their life was of the most primi-
tive kind. Half a -four barrel served
as a washtub the broad stump of a
tree was the bench. She wrote home
to her friends that water was plenty
and very nice for washing, but there
was greasy scum on the top Of 1t in
places" The German women told her
to boil her clothes in such water-it
made them very white. The specula-
ton bubble burst and the firm sold
their land in few years; scarcely was
it out of their hands when the value of
the oil was discovered. However, they
had the comfort of not losing by their
transaction. If they had kept it it
would have Melted millions. My uncle
st. John Smith-subseque start,
ed an oil refinery which was very prof,
liable for many years. AS he left
million apiece to his widow and to his
children he had no need to mourn that
he did not develop that large trust
in Pennsylvania. Previous to this cpl
sode my Grandmother Smith-who
was a daughter of John Burleigh OF
Newmarket, N. H.-was troubled with
deafness. Some doctor recommended
a new remedy-"Rock Oil" She OBJ
tanned a small bottle of it, perhaps
equal to a large spoonful, for which
she paid a dollar! 1t was simply this
Pennsylvania oil.
These things happened when I was
a child and now I am trotting along
towards my eighty-seVenth birthday

TO IMPROVE THE BLUEBERRY
Governmental Efforts Directed to Max
Ing Fruit an Article of Agrl-
cultural Profit.

Blueberry patches, which used to be
so numerous and so large that they
were a nuisance to the farmer, have
dwindled until the BURBERRY is no
more to be had for the picking and is
! fast becoming luxury.
The beneficent United States gov
eminent has recommended that it be
cultivated and has for several years
been experimenting with the propoga-
ton and improvement Of the blue
berry.
Mr.. Frederick V. Colville, who has
been in charge Of the work, has issued
a little bulletin of directions for blue
berry culture for the encouragement
of persons interested in the culture OF
this fruit.
The blueberry plant will not thrive
in rich garden soil. 1t needs an avid
soil, a mixture of sand and peat, but
must have good drainage.
Even the swamp BURBERRY does not
want soggy soil. Where it grows
wild in swampy places it builds up a
hummock or cushion of moss which
rises above the summer water level
and within which the feeding roots OF
the bush are closely interlaced.
The only commercial plantation OF
blueberries lin existence is one near
Elkhart, Ind, which has been in ex
istence about twenty-one years. It
has been profitable from the first, the
net profits last year having been 1927
an acre. This plantation was started
with unsolicited wild blueberry
bushes.
Mr.. Colville observes that with
bushes propagated from selected
stocks the yield should be greater and
the berries much larger this greater
size, probably effecting a reduction in
the cost of picking and certainly an
increase in the selling price.
In a series Of experiments, involv-
ing the selection Of superior and wild
strains, the growing of hybrids and
the forcing of choice varieties to quick
fruiting by building them on strong
seeding stocks, berries 11-6 of an inch
in diameter have already been pro-
duced

Monday and as result many lines of
industry are tied up. It is estimated
that about $1,0OO.0OO day is being

strike will be of interest to every per-
sorr interested in popular government.
There are three classes of voters in
Belgium. Every male of legal age. is
entitled to at least one vote. Every
male who is thirty-tlve, has a legiti-
mate family of children and pays not
less than. $3.50 house tax and every
man who owns $500 worth Of real
estate is entitled to two votes. All
professional men--which includes
the clergy-and men who hold diplo.
mas from institutions of learning are
entitled to three votes. -.

The strikers want the law changed
so that every man will have an equa
voice in the government. They arr

principle of one vote to a man. The!
