Gets Mothers $4,000 Gems.

adelphia.-Vincent Beal Walsh
McLean-the hundred million dollar
baby"-son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
B. Mclean, of Washington, demon
strated that he was a better sleuth
than a dozen or more society folk,
when he recovered for his mother a
SIG, 900 necklace which she lost at the
Devon horse show. Mrs Mclean had
left her box for a stroll. At the end
Of the board walk she continued walk
ing on the sand covered portion of the
track. The necklace fell from her
throat. Unable herself to find it, she
sent for the bodyguard who accom-
panies her little son on all occasions.
The boy came with him. With num-
Der Of friends the search was con
tinued. When hope Of recovering the
treasure had almost been given up
Vincent uttered a childish cry, Here
'tis," and fished from the sand the
string OF gems. Mrs. Mclean was
overjoyed.

Is The Farmer a Good Business Man

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following edi-
torial raising the question as to
whether farmers are good business
men:
"A magazine writer asks why it is
that the farmer, with the best security
i'm the world, must stand in the money
market with hi purse strings hang
ing out, waiting the pleasure and
convenience Of the lender and pay
the highest interest Of any business
while making the lowest profits.
His first answer is that the farm
er, as a rule, is not business man.
We may resent this, but it is true.
We have not made it part of our
business to procure cheap money. We
have often asked the Government to
furnish it for Us, but we have never
tried to get ii in any organized way
by our own efforts. We have been
individualists in the money markets
instead Of team workers.
THE Government will soon pass
laws making it easier for us to be-
come business men in this respect
Whether or not these laws are sue
cessful will depend upon the extent
to which we have the initiative and
gumption to take advantage of them.
All the Government will do, and all
it should do, probably l. to point the
way to cheaper money"

Bulldog 4 "HerO.v

Traffic at Main street and Ocean
avenue, Patchogue, L. l., was at its
busiest when a black-and-whi goat
came mincing up. Two Of the first
comers Of the summer caught sight
OF him and cried HOW cute!"
The goat heard, paused i'm his pro
gress and eyed the women coldly.
"Ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-!" said the goat,
and maxixed for the sidewalk. The
women started for the nearest store,
but they were smartly gowned, and
this seasons styles are no more con-
ductive to ease and rapidity Of move
ment than were last seasons. If it
hadn't been for bulldog there is no
telling what might have happened to
the women.
The bulldog was on his way down
the sidewalk the women were SO an
ious to leave. The goat saw him and
added seven AS" to what he had said
to the women. The last that was
seen of either was at the bay end of
Ocean avenue. The goat was still
talking as he went, and in the words
of Red Saunders" the pup was
searching his soul for sounds to tell
how skairt he was."-New York Dis

Congressman Talbot With Senator
Smith.

Representative Talbot was at the
White House Wednesday, but failed TO
sea President Wilson. An engage
ment was made with him, yesterday
morning. At his conference with the
President MIR. Talbot brought up the
mi.tter Of the federal patronage in
Maryland, the occasion being the
ambition Of his private secretary, Mr-
Walter Warner, to become appraiser
at the port OF Baltimore.
Any hope that Mr.. Lee may have
entertained of winning Mr.. Talbott's
political support by the advancement
of his private secretary to very lu-
crative federal job, we're dashed to
the ground when Mr. Talbot told Mr..
Lee that under no circumstances
would H. change from hi present
loyalty to Senator John Walter Smith,
for whom ny said he stood first, last
and all the time.
So far as is known Senator Smith
has not decided to take any active
part in the distribution Of the remain
ing Maryland patronage.

A Sneeze Cost Dearly.

To one sneeze, $4,000. Possibly
the entry doesn't appear in just this
form on the books Of the Standard
Chemical Company, Of Pittsburgh, but
it's there in some shape, according to
Joseph MI Flannery, president Of The
company, who has been In Denver,
Colo. on business for several days.
"A chemist working over recepta-
Gle containing solution of $4,000
worth of radium temporarily lost con-
troll of his sneezer. When he recover
ed, 1000 worth of radium was gone.
Flannery told this to explain how
difficult the extraction Of the precious
metal i, and how delicate the opera
ton.
Flannery announced that should a
certain process OF extraction prove
applicable for mill use, the company
will move its entire plant to Denver
and erect a $1.O00,000 laboratory.

TUBERCULOSIS SANATORIUM NOT
INJURIOUS TO HEALTH OR
PROPERTY.
Careful Study OF National Association
Shows That Presence Of Institution
Is Not Dangerous.

Convincing proof that tuberculosis
sanatoria or hospitals are not men
ace to the health nor detriment to
the property Of those living near such
institutions is given in a pamphlet
issued today by The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. In an extended
study Of the subject the Association
has not been able to find single in
stance where a tuberculosis sanator-
ium has had an injurious effect on
the health of anyone living near it,
nor where it has had any lasting ef-
feet upon property values.
The pamphlet, entitled The Effect
Of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability Of Surround
ing Property reviews all the studies
made on the subject, takes up court
decisions bearing on the question,
and contributes besides some original
investigations of typical hospitals,
and the opinions of prominent men,
life insurance companies, and others.
Nearly $50 different institutions are
studied. In all these institutions,
not one case could be found where
the assertions of opponents to their
lOGdLlOH, LLldL d
torium would spread disease and in
jure property, could be substantiated.
In fact, number of instances were
found where the presence of the
sanatorium or hospital promoted out
door living, tending to lower the
death rate, and increased the market
for produce and labor, thereby bene-
fitting the community.
Among the most significant opin-
ions expressed are those by five of
the largest life insurance companies
i'm the United States. These COM
panies were asked IL residence i'm a
tuberculosis sanatorium by healthy
individual was considered an adverse
factor in issuing insurance and also
if residence in the neighborhood of a
sanatorium constituted such an ad-
verse factor Two of the companies
answered the first question in the
affirmative and two in the negative,
but everyone Of them answered that
residence near a tuberculosis sana-
torium was not considered an adverse
factor in issuing life insurance.

some good friend, for one of five per-
sons from whom to select one for the
very important position of County Tax
Supervisor for Carroll county, Nd,
under an act of the Legislature last
winter. I want to say to my friends
OF Carroll county that, 4 am not All
applicant for this position. 4 am not
acquainted with the requirements OF

fill it satisfactorily, but as it pertains
to the assessment of property for tax
alton in the State and County, in my
opinion it is a very important matter.
l hope the Commission will be able to
find a person who will meet the re-
quirements Of the position, in justice
