The collection Of the rents from
Robinson's holdings and the income
/ from his interests in the estates was
/ left to Attorney Ball.
Mr.. Ball testified that he left the
| collection of most Of the rents to a
| man named Byrne, who received the
| money, made repairs and turned in
/ what was left TO Ball Mr.. Ball said the
net amount he received from Byrne o
month on a Canal street building
averaged about $50. Attorney Cass
asked the witness If the gross rents

amount to $500. He said he did not

LONDON Nov. 14.-Amerlcans hav
been liberal in response to Queen
Mary's appeal for 100000 pairs OF
socks and belts for the soldiers at
the front. Through Lady Arthur
Paget, who Is prominent in the relief
work in behalf of the soldiers. the
need of a fund for the supply of
these articles was brought especially
to the attention of American women.
In discussing today the response to
this appeal Lady Paget said:
"The generosity of my countrywom-
en- and countrymen is most crafty
ing. Every day | receive parcels
from all parts of America. Already
$4,000 pairs of socks have been sent
to me from women, children and shop
girls. Some say there is nothing they
could spare except an hour of daily
knitting, but that they gladly pielded
their leisure time to help the men in
the trenches.
MANY business houses also sent
socks. The gifts are forwarded inn
mediately to the men at the front
with the explanation that they are
from American friends. The soldiers
are duly grateful for the gifts"

Eighth and Summer avenues request
ed that a screen be erected to pre-
vent baseballs, footballs, ETC., used

LUXEMBOURG FORMS LONE OASIS
OF PEACE IN STRICKEN EUROPE

LonRwy the gateway through which
| the crown prince smashed his way
! into France coming from destruction
and desolation, peace was In the very
air as the border OF Luxembourg was
crossed Sleek cattle browsed In the
pastures, farmers were blowing or
gathering crops, birds twittered i'm the
| trees.
Looking back over the line across
| the French fields, not man, a horse
| or COW was in sight. Empty, desolate
| land met the eye. Along the roads of
Luxembourg men passed-not In uni
form but In the attire Of peaceful call
| ings. the slouchy garb OF the farmer
and working -man. In the French VIII
lagos only old women and aged men
and children were seen. Seldom were
boys over twelve years old in evil
dence, but rollicking along this Lux
emburg road was a crowd of sturdy,
happy school-boys between the age Of
twelve and seventeen apparently on
days vacation tramp through the
country.
what Difference Here"
Then it was thought of the French
boy soldier with a shattered hand I
had seen; another with three bullets
in his body, OF the German boy OF
seventeen who went home to his
mother with both eyes shot out.
Then there were the English boy
buglers shivering in the chill fog in
the prison camp at Doberitz near
Berlin.
What a difference" was the quiet
remark of Commander Walter w.
Gerhardi, of the United States navy,
as the capital OF the duchy was en-
tered and the panorama of peace I'M
folded more and more. Commander
Gerhardi is no sentimentalist but a
big hearted, bluff sailor man, but he
was impressed by the difference.

BEWARE OF THE GOLF BALL.

During the last few years several
cases of severe. permanent, injury to
the eyes have been reported, caused
by the liquid contents in the small
rubber core of certai n golf-balls,
which have been cut open by curious
children. Almost invariably the his
tory is that some child finds an old
golf-ball with its covering partly off.
He the rest of the cover and
rubber then comes to the core ball,
this he bounces until ii bursts, or
punctures it with a knife. The con-
tanned fued spurts out onto his
clothing and into his eyes.
There are apparently two makes
of golf-balls on the market, each
containing a different. highly caustic
substance. One contains a mixture
of barium sulphate. SOAP and alkalj.
Balls of another make contain a So
luton of zinc Chord. As a result OF
these accidents, a bill was introduced
in the legislature of Massachusetts, to
prohibit the sale of golf-balls which
contained any caustic fluid. The
United States Golf association issued
a warning to all persons against the
dangerous practice of cutting open
golf-balls. 1t was thought because
of the publicity given this danger
that further warning would be SUI
perfiuous. Within the last few weeks
however three additional accidents
due to the opening of golf-ball cores
have occurred near Boston. These
accidents are reported in a recent is
sue of the Journal of the American
Medical association. 1t seems wise,
because of the repeated occurrences
of these accidents, again to call the
attention of the public to this dan
gerous practice.
OF the four children injured only
one escaped permanent injury. while
the other three each practically lost
the use of one eye. 1t can be seen
from the cases reported how serious
such accidents may be. and how
necessary 1t is that parents and
children should be warned against
this danger.

the morning of January Sth. for
P~haranagat valley. arrived home late
Thursday afternoon. after four days
battle with the snow that ranged
from eight inches to two feet deep

what difficult. Owing to the cold

learned that the party had left there
the Friday previous. That was the
last heard from them until they ar
rived in Ely. The most difficult
travelling was encountered after

the roads. The party included Frank
Galloway. George Welsh, G. F. Bore

made in the Fletcher and Galloway
cars. Galloway was the first to ar
rive, the Fletchei car running short
