A curious incident is vouched for.
showing how bold a robin may become
when its food supply is threatened. A
lady threw into her garden a boiled
potato for the birds, and shortly after
ward robin appeared and began to
peck at the food. Soon the robin was
interrupted at it's meal by half grown
rat, which commenced to nibble the
potato. To the surprise of the lady
who was watching the proceedings the
robin Immediately attacked the rat
and drove it off. In little while the
rat came forward again, and another
encounter took place. the robin once
more proving victorious. A third essay
was made by the rat, and this also
ended in the retreat Of the rodent.

In the days of his youth Senator
Blackburn Of Kentucky was asked by
a friend to second a duel. He con-
scented. and at the next sunrise the
parties met. 1t was Mr. Blackburn's
luty to say the last word concerning
the terms Of the duel. One of the SEN
ator's colleagues recently said at a
Washington dinner that. although Mr..
Blackburn faithfully performed the
duty. the duel never took place.
A murmur of "Why mott? went
around the table ut this remark.
"For Very simple reason" contin-
ued Mr.. Blackburn's colleague. when
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for duel"

When Sir Richard Hawkins ship. the
Dainty, was off the Guinea coast it
caught fire and had narrow escape
from destruction. The sequel, as told
by John Barnett in Fighting Admi-

God for their deliverance and as q
mark Of gratitude took occasion to ban
ish swearing from the little feet. BY
general consent it was ordained that q
palmer, or ferrule. should be carried
by any one who was taken with an
oath and that he should give the next
who swore stroke with it. At the end
Of the day he who had the ferrule re-
ceived three strokes from the captain or

was no more swearing"

Turtles Of Yucatan.

Turtles of nearly every known va
riety are found in the waters of the
island Of Cozumel. off the Yucatan
coast. and their capture is favorite
sport with the islanders. The carey
is the most profitable. This turtle
from which the tortoise shell of COM
merce is obtained-is comparatively
scarce. and it frequently happens that
weeks pass without any of them being
secured. 1t is this element Of chance
that makes fishing for turtles so at
tractive, for couple of careys are
equal to months wages Of ordinary
catches. Two good sized shells will
weigh four pounds and the local deal
ers are always willing to pay 81 per
pound for shells OF average quality.

Three Men Injured When
Engines Crash.

Three men were hurt, none seri-
ousIy, when two Grand Trunk yard
engines were in head-on collision at
Fish Point Sunday. The injured,
who were taken to the Maine Eye
and Ear infrmary are:
Henry C. Barry, 40 IIsley street,
engineer, bruises.
Roy Parker, 125 Sherwood street,
fireman, ankle broken.
Frank E. Conley, 10 Veranda
street, fireman, badly shaken up.
Engine No. 1709, on which were
Engineer Barry and Fireman Parker,
had been standing on the track and
had just started TO go in the direc-
ton Of East Deering, when engine
No. 2349, drawing II freight cars,
came in from that section, and in
the thick snow that was falling
neither locomotive was seen by the
men on the other until it was too
late to avoid the collision.
The autft from Deering crashed
into No. 1909 with such force that it
was Ii ted from the rails and hurled
three or four lengths into the ditch,
suffering considerable damage, and
the engineer and fireman were ex-
tremeiy fortunate to escape with
compare lively slight injuries.
The inbound engine did not leave
the track and it Was not damaged
So much as the other. the three
men who were hurt were brought to
the Grand Trunk station as soon a.
possible after the accident, and the
police ambl.an'p took them from
the station to the intirmary.
1t was reported last night that all
were resting comfortably and that
Engineer Barry would pr5bably be
able to return home today.

Here's Speedy Relief @
from, Kidney Troubles

'Fo1ey Kidney Pills have done me a
heap of good" A. T. BARTLETT, Brock
ton, Mass.
Some days it seems as if you can no
longer bear the pain and misery you
suffer from kidney and bladder trouble.
The ache across your back grows worse
with every move you make, and with
every step you take. It not only robs
you of all your strength and energy, but
it affects the other important organs of
the body as well. Nervousness, head
ache, disordered stomach, liver trouble,
bad eyesight, are only some of the cons
ditions that follow kidney trouble,
Foley Kidney Pills help the sick weak
kidneys to regain their normal healthy
state and activity, When they are again
able to do their work effectively, your
system is no longer choked and blocked
with poisonous waste matter. Your
symptoms clear up, your WEAKNESS.
pain, misery and weakness go away.
Foley Kidney, Pills can do you also "a
heap of good"

THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1916
POINTS OUT INEQUALITY
OF THE BORLAND PLAN
J. S. Moser Uses Corner Lot and
One Adjoining to illustrate
Argument.

Another argument against the Borland
amendment regarding the payment for
street improvements was made today by
J. s. Moser of 1907 Massachusetts, avenue
northwest in a letter to Senator John w.
Smith. chairman of the subcommittee
having in charge the District of Columbia
appropriation bill.
After referring to the protest of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
against the BILL he cites the following
argument:
Take for example of it's iniQuitous
workings this real and concrete case OF
A and B, who respectively own lots l and
2 on a lettered street The lots OF equal
size viz: Twenty feet front and eighty
feet deep. Each has dwelling OF equai
cost and value
A owns the corner lot and owns
the inside lot. On account of AS lot
being corner, his property is sup
posed to be and is about rs per cent
more valuable than BIS. and as such is
assessed at 25 per cent more than b 8.
These assessments go into the gen
eral fund of the city, and out lof this
fund one-half of the cost Of street
paving is paid according to the Bor-
land amendment. So far A and B pay
proportionate to the value of each
property for the cost of paving the
street.
Now. how does this law affect and
B in the cost of paving the citizens
half A. having five times as much
abutting frontage as B. must pay 500
per cent more than B, whereas in the
city's half of the cost he only pays
25 per cent more.
Now. it is only too plain that A pays
too little on the citys half of cost, or
vastly too much on the citizens half of
cost-both cannot be right and equit-
able.
The old law says it is equitable that
A pays % per cent more than B. be-
cause his corner lot is 25 per cent more
valuable than it's neighbor. BIS inside
lot. and hence AS property is and has
always been assessed at about rs per
cent more than BIS. But now comes
this new law, which exacts five times
more of the cost Of paving the citizens
half from A than from B.
The Borland amendment law is thus
manifestly negotiable and unfair in its
workings and should be Immediately
repealed for this reason, as well as for
the many general reasons given by the
citizens associations.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The cotton
market was very quiet. early today,
with traders waiting for more definite
and effect of the gulf storm. The open
ing was steady at decline OF points
on August, but generally l to points
higher in response to steady cables
and a renewal of yesterdays covering
Reports that the storm area
was central over Vicksburg this morn
ing. showing increased intensity, and
the absence of wire service with points
in its immediate locality evidently
caused more or less uneasiness.
The official eastern belt forecast pre-
dieting nothing more important than
showers was reassuring. however, ana
the market sagged off shortly after
the call. with October selling down
from 1906 to 1898 and December from
1876 to 1915, or about to points
net lower.
Reports from the weather bureau that
the tropical storm was losing it's in
tensity were followed by increased Of
ferings during the middle of the morn
ing with October selling off to 1894
and December to.13la or about 10 to IL
points net lower. Prices then steadied
on covering in advance of the weekly
weather report, and December worked
up to 1919, but beyond emphasizing
the increasing activity of boil weevil,
the review of the weeks crop progress
was favorable, and prices were to
points off from the best shortly after
midday

Exciting Battle on Eutaw Street in
Baltimore-Eleven Arrests Made.

BALTIMORE. Md, July 6.-About
1900 clothing strikers today engaged
in a fight with the police on Eutaw
street between Baltimore and Fayette
streets in which pistols were brought

police several gunner" from New
York were in the strikers ranks. No
one was shot, but a policeman was
battered with a club and had to be
taken to hospital. Half a dozen other

coded by a fight between strikers and
workers at the clothing factory of
Strouse & Bros. where the strikers had
been employed The police dispersed
the mob and arrested eleven men,.
