GOSSIP IN LONDON

From the Philadelphia Telegraph
 We have "Tipperary" in French, Dutch and Hindustani and now we have version in Chinese. It is taken from a Chinese paper, and it's literal translation reads thus:
 This road is far from ri DO 1eih Ii,
 We must walk for many days;
 This road is far from ri DO lieh II,
 I want to see my lovely girl.
 To meet again Pi ko ti Ii,
 To see again Lei ssu Kwei'rh;
 This road is far from ri DO 1ieh Il, But my heart is already in that place"
 Piccadilly, you see, becomes l'i ko u Ii. and Leicester Square Lei ssu Kweirh.
 Covent Garden merchants and deal CTS view the ''blockade with equa- nimity" "We do not anticipate that it will in any way curtail our sup plies. which are at present quite suf- ficient for all requirements said one dealer yesterday. "The supplies are below the normal in all classes of goods, especially in potatoes, early sal ads, asparagus. etc, which come from France, but the demands are also very much below those usually experienced at this time of the year. Business, therefore, is not as brisk as usual but good prices are maintained for ev- cry kind of produce, whether fruit, vegetables or flowers"
 The Y. M. c. A. is doing splendid work among the British troops. Ref erence Is made in 8 letter from Rabbi Michael Adler to the London Times. The association deserves the support of all creeds and, apart from the ap- preciation shown in this letter of the services rendered to the Anglo Jewish community, 1t is interesting to know that well known Roman Catholic chaplain to the British forces recently said that he was told by a high dig nitary of the Roman church in Amer lea that there was only one thing which he envied the Protestant church and that was the organization of the Young Mems Christian association. A patriotic Welshman was asked what emblems and distinctions he thought the new Welsh battalion ought to wear. The traditional emblem of Wales is the leel<, but he thought this probably would be Inappropriate. MT. Lloyd George has recently put forward the claims of the daffodil as the Welsh national flower. but that seems to lack historic confirmation. so it vas agreed that it was most likely that tho Welsh guar would wear a distinguishine badge of the Prince of Wales seath CTS. But Wales has other emblems | the red dragon of her flag, for in- stance. That might be used, and as
 for cap band, the national color oi Wales is dark green. But probably these nice little details of parade and ceremony will not worry the new guards very much. They will he born
 into the a1l-leveling uniform of khaki and there will be plenty of time tc arrange the other little details of scar let and buttons after the great Pots dam parade. which will come before : the days of peace come again.

for his outside services, but for hu. manity's sake gladly gives the gen eral public the benefit of his ex- pert knowledge.
 He will spend several days in mak- ing mosquito survey of Baltimore and will advise the local authorities how to proceed; and it is safe to as- sume that when his instructions, are carried out the great city which is now menaced by the pest will be as mosquitoless as the Panama canal zone. In quoted interview with Dr. Gorgas which appeared in the Sun a few days ago were these practical ob- servations, which should receive wide attention:
 offhand, I cannot give much ad-
 vice as to the mode of operation in
 Baltimore. First, I must go to Bal
 timore and see personally the con
 ditions and the problems which
 must be faced in carrying on the .
 fight. Of course, there are certain
 phases of the crusade which apply
 to any municipality. Really the most
 important of these is the necessity
 of an annual movement in the na-
 ture of crusade. It is not enough
 that the mosquitoes be driven out
 one year-they will return year
 after year if the conditions which
 allow them to breed recur.
 In Panama we have so completely
 drained the towns, covered all sur
 face depressions and drained all
 swamp lands where water might
 stand that there is no fear of mos
 quitoes there for sometime to come
 Even so, in a few years measures
 must be taken to again fortify the
 zone against the pests unless action
 is taken there annually.
 There is an economic side to the
 mosquito problem. Persons do not
 like to live in a place where they
 will be annoyed by mosquitoes,
 whether the pests carry disease or
 not. Therefore, the community that
 rids itself of mosquitoes necessarily
 enhances the value of it's property.
 The United States army has had many large-minded surgeon generals, but not one of them has enjoyed the fame that has come to the able, pat riotic and hearted Ala bamian. And because of his fame and his disposition to be helpful as far as possible to all mankind he will be in much demand by cities and states to the end of his day.
 Before Dr. Gorgas rid the canal zone of mosquitoes he had done important sanitary work in Cuba. He combatted yellow fever in Havana and virtually eliminated the disease from that city. About year ago, at the request of the British government, he visited South Africa with view of studying fever conditions there and recom- the best way to handle the situation. His recommendations are being acted upon and British Africa is already more sanitary than it had ever been before. Dr. Gorgas was signally honored by the United States when Congress created for him the rank of major general. He was the first sur geon general who ever ranked higher than brigadier. He is an honorary or associate member of many scientific bodies in England and on the conti- nent, but fame and the innumerable 1onors bestowed have not changed 1im. He is the same modest gentle nan that he was when he was only major in the medical branch of the army.

Sheep In the South

Sneep III the oOutH
 Notwithstanding the complaint heard in some of the southern states that the sheep raising industry was on the de- cline, the wool clip in the south, ac- cording to figures compiled by Nation al Association of Wool Manufacturers, was greater in the south by 402,95O pounds than the clip in 1913.
 Alabama's raw wool production was 37S,750 pounds in 1913 and All ,000 in 1914. There was slight increase in Arkansas and a considerable increase in Louisiana. There was falling off fin Georgia and falling off in Missis- sippi.
 The value of the south's wool last year was $7,s1s,351, as compared with $6,329,65 in 1913 Alabamas wool had a value in 1914 of $117,S94 as com pared with $Ss,O56 the year before.
 The National Association of Wool Manufacturers presents an array of sheep growing facts and figures GOV ering the United States, and one of the deductions made by that organized agency in it's annual review is that "the tendency of previous years to- ward mutton breeds and away from the merinos continues, especially in the middle west, where the latter are rapidly disappearing, and the associa- tion believes that if the general ten dency to change to mutton breeds con tinues to expand, manufacturers will have difficulty in obtaining their sup plies of fine wools.'
 The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec ord, in commenting upon the figures, says: "This is probably true, but the figures for all sheep indicate clearly that their number is not only not in- creasing in proportion to the increase in population in this country, but is actually decreasing. On the first of January 1911, for instance, there were 63,633,000 sheep on our farms, but on the first of last January there were only 49,956,000, or 3,677000 less. The decrease in the number of sheep in the four years was only greater than the decrease in the number of other food animals, the aggregate number of milch COWS, other cattle, sheep and swine having decreased from 179, ,755,- 900 to 172,903,000. Meanwhile, the ag- gregate value of animals increased from $2,472 ,OsS,OOO to $3,275, ,SS0,OOo.
 ''Increasing value of wool and of live stock on the hoof ought to spur south ern farmers to giving more attention than ever to the raising of sheep, not only as a source of income, but as a means of adding to the fertility of their lands"
 Sheep growing will be included in Alabama's crop diversification move ment. One of the reasons given why there are not more sheep in the south is the absence of laws prohibiting the running at large of sheep killing dogs.
 The dog bill as pending in the Ala bama legislature will, if adopted-it has passed in the senate-help the sit uation. At any rate Alabama farmers will give greater attention to the sheep industry and will, it is believed, make surprisingly fine showing in the statistics of three or four years hence.

THE ORIGIN OF VERONICA

From the London Chronicle.
 One of the most interesting of twist cd names is the girls name, Veronica, which, by the way, is not so common as It's beauty entities it to be. Ycu probably know the legend of how St Veronica wiped the brow of Christ on his way to Calvary, and how. on the hankerchief miraculous print of the Savior's face remained. This was the 'verum fkom' (the true imaRe) celebrated in Christian legend, and tho name Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two words.

New York, April 29.-There can be no ideal home, there can be homes of individuality and distinction, says Miss Ruby Ross Goodnow. "A home and it's decoration are dependent on so many contingencies that no two houses can be alike if they are to be ideal in any way" she says. "One cannot devise model, ideal house, for first and foremost one must con- sider the personality of the tenant. l do not think person can have more than one real home. If l had beau- tiful home in the country I should put my prized effects there, my city home would merely be a makeshift, a place to stay.'
 Miss Goodnow believes that din ing room is not an essential. In stead she advocates a large living room, and dining in it.

 "The prime interests of every citi- zen was that some measure should be taken to stop the panic and re- store confidence.

 This effectually barred the muck rake from the trial, and the colonel once a disbeliever in that implement has counted heavily on it's use as a weapon in this battle.
 The justice held that Barnes might have known of the existence of vice and gambling in Albany without 1n- jury to his moral character. In any event, he said, Barne had not been charged in the Roosevelt statement or in the Roosevelt answer, with mingling in Albany municipal cor ruption, and all evidence tending to show any such. matters had no place this action.
 The justice, did, however, announce that evidence of Barnes participation in state printing profits, was entirely competent, thus leaving open one avenue of attack down which the colonel's forces may march when the time arrives.
