plenty of Christmas money in Bog

that there will be several more
thousand of dollars for Xmas than
ever before. While the club of the
Washington Bank and Trust Co.,

Monday there have been more
members enrolled already than dur.
ing last year.
The club is being worked on any
plan the patrons desire this year and
the most popular one is that as
suggested by President Lindsey who
adopted the plan of depositing a
certain amount each week. By saw
ing 81 a week for a period of 40
weeks you will get $500, or 81 a
week for 40 weeks gives you a $50
club check and this method is con-
tinued until you can deposit 5 cts a

The Naval Academy Change.

II is not likely that Rear Admiral w
F. Fullam will feel at all aggrieved
over his removal as superintendent of
the Naval Academy at AnnSpolis and
his transfer to command of the Pacific
reserve feet While the Pacific con
signment is considered not particular
ly desirable by naval officers yet Ad-
miral Fullam is apt to welcome it after
the storm and stress that marked his
term at Annapolis.
The administration and more par
ticularly the odd and curious Secretary
of the Navy held the Admiral largely
to blame for the sensational exposure
of the system of gouging in eXamina-
tions which scandalized the Academy
and resulted in a long drawn out in
vestigation which ended in a very un-
satisfactory way. The administration
and the Adm iral were on the outs from
the beginning of the investigation to
the end. In fact, so sore did the su-
perintendent become that he declared
on the witness stand that he would
rather command a collier than remain
at the Academy if his decision was re-
NefSeu. IL was reversed ana Wnlle ne
has not been put in comand of a collier
he has been sent about as far away
from Annapolis as he could go. Under
such conditions it were better that the
Admiral should take another post

erie, who has been commandant of the

Academy the remnants, the odds and
ends of the gouging scandal. There
remain cases to be heard and pun

proven. II will be up to the new su-
perintendent TO wipe the slate clean
and see to it that an end be put to all
cheating at Naval Academy examina-
tions. While there is nothing in the

ton with the transfer of Admiral Full.

Fish Poachers Menace.

Charges that Virginia steamers in
great numbers are poaching on Mary
land fishing grounds in the lower Ches-
apoake and adjacent waters are made
by Swepson Earle, photographic engi.
ueer of the Shellfish Commission Most
Of the fish thus caught, he says. are
carried back to Virginia for fertilizer.
The charges are backed up with evi-
dence collected by Mr.. Earle suffi-
cient to substantiate his statement that
the seafood industry of Maryland is be-
ing menaccd to an alarming degree.
He declares:
"On Monday. July 26, | witnessed
while passing dawn Chesapeake Bay,
adjacent to Calvert county, fifteen large
steamers workink within a radius OF
FIVE miles and catching every school OF
fish that appeared near the waters sur
face. The previous week forty-six
were counted working along the west
side of Chesapeake Bay. The entrance
to the Patuxent river is patrolled by
these ers-consequently one OF
the best fishing rivers of Maryland is
becoming depleted of its best fish,
Residents along the upper Patuxent
river are complaining that they car no
onger catch rock or trout
"In order for the food fish to reach
Maryland waters at all they must run
the gauntlet of hundreds of Virginia
nets, and after reaching our waters 10
be captured and taken back for fertiI-
iZer is evidence of q sad piece of fgnor-
ant neglect on the part of Maryland
which threatens one o fthe States lead
ing resources. Refer 20 the fishing
laws of Virginia and they will be OBJ
served to be carefully drawn and then
enforced to protect that States fish"
Many of the Virginia boats operating
in Maryland waters, he says, do SO un-
der Maryland licenses illegally procur-
ed by them.

A Negro Community.

Midway between the sandy beach at
Ocean Views, on the southern side OF
Hampton Roads, and Norfolk. rapid
ly growing southern metropolis, there
has been developed in the heart of a
rich, farm-trucking region, an attract
i've negro community. called Titsun-
town. in which all of the people own
their own homes and not single rent
er is to be fouLd.
In Titsuntown negroes have had the
opportunity OF buying high-class prop
erty at a low price. building COMFORT
able and attractive individual houses on
easy terms, and living happy lives in a
refined and attractive community. II
was in 1901 that a committee of ten or
a dozen colored men went to Augustus
T. Stroud. white lawyer of Norfolk,
who had recently graduated form col
Iege. They asked that some land should
be bought and resold to negroes for
home sites.
The negroes had heard the summons
move on" and sought the good offices
of a southern white man whose family
had long had a deep interest in the
welfare of negroes. Men who, in the
beginning. had very crude ideas OF
what a home should be, nave gradually
been led oul into a finer conception oI
what home can be made through per-
sistent thrift and constant effort to i'm
prove the physical condition of house
yard and fence.
What the negroes of Titsuntown have
done so quietly and so effectively, with
the sympethetic cooperation of Mr.
stroud through a long period, can and
should be repeated. with the necessary
notifications. of course, wherever there
are large numbers of negroes who
should have better housing.

Typhoid Vaccination Gaining Favor.

An enormous increase i'm the number
of persons seeking anti-typhoid vacci-
nation is reported by the United States
Public Health Service. Not alone is
this increase manifested among the
beneficiaries of that organization and
Government employees, but the gen
eral public is also awakening to the
value of the innoculation.
Reports from physicians throughout
the country indicate that many are re
ceiving the preventative treatment and
laboratory establishments have had q
greatly increased demand for the vac
cine So great is the call among en-
ployees of the Government that IL has
been necessary to issue a second edi-
ton of the Secretary of the Treasury's
circular stating the localities where the
treatment may be received.
It is estimated that during 1914 over
100, 900 persons throughout the country
were immunized and il is believed that
in 1915 the number will exceed 100000
In four counties of North Carolina
where campaigns are now being con
Quoted, il is estimated that 10000 peo-
pie will be immunized. The public is
seldom slow to accept an innovation of
worth The reduction Of the case rate
in the army from $50 per 100000, be-
fore the discovery of the anti-typhoid
vaccine, to 3, since innoculation was
made compulsory, has not passed un-

there were over 1000 cases of typhoid

Florida; in 1911, among 10000 men.
similarly encamped, there were but two
cases. If such a degree of immunity
can be barmlessly conferred upon
body of men living under adverse con
ditions and whose age renders them
susceptible, the conclusion is that pro-
lection can just as easily be afforded
ordinary citizens.
Anti-typhoid vaccination is quite as
simple as that for smallpox, ant even
children do not complain. There are no
local effects other than sight redden-
ng at the site of the injection and sore
arms are entirely lacking. In a small
percentage of cases mild systematic
reaction, accompanied by headache
and slight rise in temperature, oc-

night the persons rest is undisturbed

symptoms. In the majority of instan-
ces, however there is not the slightest
inconvenience. The immunity prob
ably lasts for several years, although
its duration is less than that of small
pON which frequently persists for q
lifetime.

OPERATES MOTOR BY
CURRENT FROM AIR.
Oil District Mans Discovery Interests
Government; Gets Invitation,

Following the same principle as those
involved in wireless telegraphy, an oil
district inventor, near Pemeta. okla,
has discovered a method of drawing
current from the air and Successfully
propelling a motor without other
power.
So successful has he been in his
demonstrations that the Federal Gov
ernment has taken il up and has for
warded 81 900 to the inventor to take
his model TO the Brooklyn navy yard
there to have a thorough test made.
According to Rufus l.. Stewart, editor
of the Jennings News who has wit
messed a demonstration OF the new in
vention, it bids fair to revolutionize
the business world.
The inventor is A. Bloomfield, and
according to Stewart, he has accom-
plished several other succ. ssful inven-
tions, in the past, including an alrship.
He holds a government license as an
air pilot at the present time. Bat it is
mis- powerless motor that is climax to
all his other efforts.
The model which Bloomfield has ta-
is q very small motor of about one
quarter horsepower. BY means of n
derrick. erected to a height of about
perhaps IS feet. the current is drawn
from the air ard the motor is operated
The Government has sent several ex-
perts to Oklahoma to examine Bloom
fields invention, who have pronounced
It a success.
One of these tests was to determine
whether or not the power could be gen
Grated from the night air as well as
in the daytime, and no difference what
veer was noticed 1t was then that the
Government sent him the 81 .0G0 10 take
the model to the Brooklyn navy yard.
BloOmfield's headquarters have been
in Tulsa for several years, but he is
wellknown throughout the oil districts
of the State Thomas A. Edison, learn
inc of his invention, has also become
greatly interested in Bloomfield and
has offered him a business partner
ship for the manufacture of his invent
ions. Thus far. however the Oklahoma
man has TUNED the Wizards propo-
sitions down.

WATERFOWL BEAT
LANSING FOR MAYOR.
Now BemOans the Lack Of Foresight in
Losing Good "Ad."

Ever since President Wilson appoint
ed Robert Lansing Secretary of State
the Chamber Of Commerce and the
leading citizens Of watertown. y. Y,
have been bemoaning the fact that the
city lost the opportunity TO give it.
self a worldwide advertisement when
il refused to elect Mr.. Lansing Mayor
a few years ago.
Watertown has been puffed up with
pride since the President selected one
of its own boys as Secretary Of State
in these troublous times. The Fly in
the ointment" Is the fact that the city
defeated Mr.. Lansing for Mayor and
elected in his stead the subscription
collector for a local newspaper, an oc-
cupation which is not in itself condu-
Give to personal popularity.
There were three reasons why Mr.
Lansing was not elected One was
that he is a Democrat, and in Water
town il is not ordinarily necessary to
give another. The second reason was
that he was born in Watertown; that
city has never looked with favor on
native sons for Mayor.
His opponent was born in Canada
and there is a large Canadina popula-
tion in the city Their rallying cry that
year was: us Canadians must stand
together" and they did
Last of all. Mr.. Lansing had just or
ganized the Jefferson Connty Golf Club
and laid out links He introduced the
game to the community, where up to
that time the principal outdoor sport
had been croquet. The election retuns
showed that he lost the solid croquet
vote. More than a few Democrats who
were loyal TO the game of Kelly pool
also voted against him on the golf issue
After Wilson's election it was real
lied that the Democratic party did not
have many men familiar with interna-
toni law and the ground rules gov
erning the action of diplomatic repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Lansing was one of
the few Democrats who seemed TO have
the necessary qualifications, and his
name was considered at the time for
Assistant Secretary of the State.
"Not a chance said one of the lead
ers of the Democratic organization in
Watertown when he heard the rumor
"He can't even get the Endorsement of

The Danger in Face Powder.

Some preparations of face powder
are the cause of Inflammation of the
eyes This form of Inflammation oc-
exclusively in women. They will conf
plain that the vision is blurred; that
they cannot read or sew for any length
of time; that the lids burn and itch
sometimes intolerably and that rul-
bing the lids aggravates itching.
The reason for this is that MANY OF
these toilet powders, commonly known
as rice powder" or "Poudre de Riz,
contain. IN addition to the rice powder,
other ingredients which irritate the
delicate membranes of the eye. Six
teen samples of so-called rice powders
were recently analyzed and of this
number only two consisted entirely of
rice; and only six contained any rice
at all.
Women who are accustomed to us
ing face powder should be careful TO
select only those preparations which
are known TO be pure, and free from
harmless substitutes. In applying pow
der to the face, it is much safer to use
cloth and rub the powder on the skin
rather than apply it with puff. as by
the latter method the powder is driven
upward and lodges on the moist eye
ball. The tears change it into a muci-
laginous substance which lodges be
hind the eye-lids, and produces the
symptoms complained Of
Since toilet articles do not come un-
der the Federal and State food and

ated. Rice flour purchased at a gro.
