Secretary Darfels Is Visitor at
Naval Academy.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.
Annapolis. Md, May 6.-Secretary OF

apoiis today. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Daniels and they remained over
night as guests of the Superintendent
and Mrs. Fullam, of the Naval Acad-
envy. who gave an informal dinner in
their honor.
The prime object of Secretary Daniels
visit was to hear the midshipmen talk.
He has been manifestins an interest In
the progress the embryo officers are max
ing in after-dinner speaking. which has
been a part of the course of instruction
for members of the senior class for the
last year or two.

NO ARGUMENTS NOW AT
THEIR BRIDGE GAMES
The Question that Often Led to
Heated Discussions Has Been
Definitely Settled.

Several months ago two gentlemen.
| with their wives, were enjoying a
pleasant evening at bridge. and while
some refreshments were being prepared
the men got into a discussion regarding
the relative merits Of ready-to-wear and
tailored-to-order clothing.
As is usually the case in such an
argument. each man thought he had
the better Of 1t. and neither would ad
nit that the other could prove his con-
tentions.
When the wives were called upon to
decide they suggested that the best
way to prove who was right was for
the men to get new suits. paying the
same price. and make a comparison
after three or four months Of ordinary
service.
That seemed a good idea. so they
agreed upon the price they should pay.
and within a day or two each had made
his purchase. after finding the best
value possible for the amount of money
he was allowed to pay.
At their regular session Of bridge.
one evening this week. they concluded
the time had arrived to compare the
two suits and see II either showed its
superiority over the other.
The men stood UP. squared their
shoulders. and asked their wives to
give the decision.
There was hardly a need to wait for
that. for the readymade man knew he
was beaten in q dozen different ways.
In the first place his garments didn't
At. Originally they'd been pulled and
pressed into the semblance of a At. but
with q few weeks wear this had dis
appeared. The materials were showing
decided signs Of service and the suit
showed exactly what it was-a hand
me-down." 1
The other man had gone to NJ. Stein
& Company. at Eighth and streets.
where Mr.. E. F. Mudd had measured
him and designed q suit that fitted both
his figure and his personality.
The garments were Is perfectly
shaped as on the day they were finish
ed. there were no signs Of wear. and
this suit looked just what 1t WAS
hand-tailored.
The ready-man was cured and agreed
to meet his friend at STEMS the next
day. They came in together, were
measured for suits OF Mr.. Stems
"Coronet" Blue Serge, shook hands over
getting such value or $lL15. and then
told the story we have just repeated.

THE ISLE OF MAN"
IS SHORT OF MEN;
MAN IS IN DEMAND

LONDON, Sept. 24-The Isle OF
Man, which has enjoyed home rule
since ancient times, is in such an eco
mimic quandary that proposal to ass
the imperial government that the
island be annexed to the County OF
Lancashire was recently considered in
the House of Keys, the legislative as
sembly of the island. The member
who moved the resolution declared
that the island faced imminent star
walton and bankruptcy owing to the
bungling and incompetence of the
present island administration.
The annexation motion was form
ally seconded and two other members
were in favor of it, but the proposition
was eventually lost and the island
continues for the present under its
own government.
The Isle of Man is one of the fav-
orite resorts of thousands of Lancas-
hire cotton workers and other factory
and is practically depend
ent on visitors, who pay a small poll
tax towards the upkeep of piers and
harbors. This year, however, the
fast steamers have been withdrawn
and ony one slow winter boat makes a
trip daily. Many hotels and boarding
houses are closed. Three of the fines
hotels shelter only one visitor each.

BELIEVED They HAD
END OF RAINBOW

CORDELE, Ca, Sept. 24.-When
Edmond Ragland, a negro was ar
rested by officers Gay and Gore here,
they were tempted to attach some sig
nificance to that mythical tale of a pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Ragland didn't possess the pot but he
had bag with much gold in it, and it
is very probable that the gold belongs
to someone else rather than Ragland
The negro was arrested on suspicion
and on being searched it was found
that the bag contained a dozen or more
gold coins of ST. $3.50 and $50 denom-
nations. There were three of the 81
coins. There were a gold ring and a.
gold button in the sack on which the
initials 60 r. c." were engraved, and
the button indicated the Order o.
halfway conductors. In the negrO'S
possession were also several switch
keys belonging to the Central of Geor-
gia and Southern railways.
1t is suspected that the negro rob-.
bed some saving bank, or stole the
bag of gold from railway conductor
Evidently unappreciative of the value
of 81 gold pieces, Ragland was caught
in the act of trying to buy soft drink
with one of them.
Police chiefs throughout the state
are being notified o fthis negro.

COLUMBUS, Ga, Sept 24.-The In

this week:
THE reports for the week of build

tracts awarded and manufacturing en-
terprfses to be established in the
Southeast comprise a pleasing story
that throbs with activity and tells OF
returning prosperity
1T is not the old time prosperity
as fine as that was-but more com
prehensiye prosperity, which in some
respects is new to this section. 1t is
new i'm a measure because it contains
more of self help and helf dependence
aid self-confidence. 1t has broader
basis because this section is growing
raising, manufacturing and mining
things for which heretofore it has sent
millions of dollars to other sections OF
the country. New markets are being
developed for products, and the re-
sources of this section are attracting
investment in increasing degree.

stock of 100000 will develop a tract
