When the cab Of the engine struck

synonym of individual liberty. /
would rather belong to a poor nation
that was free than to a rich nation
that had ceased to be in love with
liberty.
But We shall not be poor if we love
liberty, because the nation that loves
liberty truly sets every man free to do
his best and be his best, and that
means the release of all the splendid
energies Of great people who think
for themselves. A nation Of employees

which must unite us in sympathy and
in spiritual interest with the Latin

ourselves untrue friends today. Do
not think. therefore, gentlemen, that

I'VE dare not turn from the princi-

INTERESTING LAND CASE.

Washington, Oct. 28.-An appeal in
the Toop land case calling in question
the constitutiOnality Of the Nebraska
alien land law today was filed in the
supreme court. 1t is said to be the
nearest approach to the California
alien land law controversy which has
ever been before the supreme court
and on that account it's outcome will
be awaited with keen interest.
The case involves the question Of
whether William Toop and others, all
British subjects residing in England
may inherit an undivided two-thirds
interest in the land Of their uncle,
John Toop, an Englishman, who be-
came naturalized and acquired land
near Ulysses, Neb. The Ulysses Land
company claims title to the entire
tract on the ground that it purchased
the land from John loops nephews.
who were residents of the United
States.
Nebraska statue enacted in 1888
provides that land can not be acquired
in that State by descent or purchase
by nonresident aliens, though it per-
mits the widow or heirs Of an alien
to reside on the land for ten years
and sell it within that period or ac-
quire it by becoming naturalized with
In that period. The district federal
court Of Nebraska held that the Toops
residing in England could not occupy
the land in question for the ten-year
period because they were the heirs of
a citizen" and not an alien. This in

the law violate that provision Of the
18th amendment which declares that
no state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
OF citizens of the United States. They
also claim that the law violates q
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain. The court held, how
ever, that the treaty was not applca-
bic because John Toop died the year
before the treaty went into effect.

ACADEMY OPENS
Over Four bundled Boys Are Enroll.
ed and Nearly Every Country
Is Represented.

On "Wednesday, September II, the
Mercersburg academy began its TWEEN
ty-first year under the head master
ship Of Or. w M Irvine with the
brightest prospects in its history.
Over four hundred boys are enrolled,
representing nearly every state and
several foreign countries. To accom-
modate this large number, a new cot
tage which had formerly been occu-
pied by employees, has been fitted out
and added to the dormitories under
the name Of Maple Cottage; but even
with this extension the aocommoda-
tons are too linn ted to receive all
those applying and many boys have
been refused entrance since the first
Of September.
Among those enrolled is one for
mer student of this school who last
year studied at the University of &c.
neva Several more Cuban boys of
prominent families have come to this
school, Including sons Of leadng
banker 4 former governor OF Gdba.
and an ex-vice president OF the re-
public. In the enrolment there is
also noticeable a greater number of
boys from the middle west and the
far west.
The opening exercises took place
at one o'clock. The Rev r. w. Sny-
der. Or j. Rose and the Rev F,
w. Bald, all of Mercersburg, assisted
in the service which was led by the
Head Master. DR. Paul S. Leinbach,
pastor of the Hamilton Grange Dutch

WILL STANDARD|ZE
Double Red Cross Of Same Proper.
tions Used BY Tuberculosis
Organizations.

A special committee Of The Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis, of which Dr.
Henry Batron Jacobs Of Baltimore is
chairman, announces today the exact
proportions OF the double red cross,
the international tuberculosis emblem
which have been adopted for use IN
the United States. Every organiza-
ton or institution dealing with tuber
culosis viii be urged to use the EN-.
blem in It's correct proportions
Although the double red cross was
adopted for use in the United States
in 1906 as the symbol OF the crusade
against tuberculosis, no effort was
made to stand rdize the shape or pro
portions, with the result that hun.
dreds OF differently formed emblems
are now being used in this country.
After a year Of study Of the history
and artistic merits OF all designs
available the National Association
has finally chosen one in which all
of the arms are pointed, the two cross
arms being OF the same length The
width of the cross Is taken as the
unit IN determining the proportions.
The length of the lower leg is 7
units; the arms are units on either
side; the point above the arms, IL
units: and the distance between the
arms, l IL units These measure.
ments hold good for any size.
The double red cross was first adop.
ted as the symbol of the International
Anti-Tuberculosis Association in Der.
lin, in October, 1902 The proposer
of the symbol was Or, G. Sersiron CT
Paris, who is now Associate Seere
tary of L'Association Centrale Fran
eaise Contre la Tuberculosis To-day
the emblem is being used by anti
tuberculosis workers in every part of
the world, even in Iceland, India
South Africa, Labrador, Japan China
and the Philippines. The double red
cross is similar in shape to a cross
used frequently in the Greek Catholic
churches, and also to the Lorraine
Cross of France.
In the United States over 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations aud commit
tees. nearly $50 sanatoria and hos
pitfalls; 400 dlspensaries and about 200
open air schools, besides a number OF
other organizations, are using the
double red cross as their emblem
Wherever 1t is seen. it means war
against tuberculosis.

Whence comes this prodigious

surely there is some explanation.
1t is an interesting story rivals
any OF the tales of the THOUSAND and
One Nights The curious part OF
this romance Of magic money-eonjur-
ing IS that generally speaking, the
supreme kings Of this new industry
are not financiers
they are, instead. blacksmiths.
This wondrous anomaly becomes
ineligible when one stops only for
a few moments to consider how the
gasoline car has annually beaten It's
own marvellous record for growth. 1t
has advanced in popularity with the
speed OF an aeroplane.
In ancient times-that is to say,
about the year 19o0-the men behind
the various car models that have sur
vived the tests of efficiency We're
mostly day laborers Of one kind or
another. but chiefly blaeksm'ths,
leather-workers. railroad yardmen
and others less skilled
1t requires a self-trained mechanis
to take interest in the intricacies of
the gasoline engine. Such man was
Henry Ford, who today has an income
of Sl000,000 a month. Ford was an
itinerant threshing machine boss;
before that, he was a farmers lad
later an employe in an electric light
factory, He possessed Yankee adap-
tabinty for mechanics He worked
nights on his "new-fangled motor" as
he described it The results were
slow and crude, but he kept on the
job.
Other men who are now at the
front Of the gigantic industry came
up with factory SCOT upon their faces
and foundry CRIME upon their over
ais.
1t was, you understand, problem
for dreamer-a man willing to idle
away his time
The era of the capitalist in the
gasoline field came much later The
blacksmiths were the founders of the
new dynasty Brooklyn Eagle.
