Los Angeles, during which every de-
vice of medical science has been used
to save her life, all hope for Mrs. lnez
Milholland Boissevain, the famous New
York lawyer and suffragist leader, was
reported as having been given up.
Another TRANSMISSION of blood was re-
sorted to. 1t was the third, and the
blood was supplied by Forster Nae

who was a schoolmate of Mrs. Boisse-
vain.
Mrs. Moissevain's father and moth

corridor just outside the sickroom. The
parents arrived in Los Angeles after
a hurried trip across the continent, but
they were not allowed TO see their

ask is the use of a barn and a small
pasture
Through the influence OF the presi-
dent Goen was given the use OF barn
land small pasture, and thus entered
upon the dairy business. From the
beginning he experienced no trouble
in disposing of the product of the two
cows at the satisfactory figure OF nine
cents a quart for whole milk. The
two cows brought him an average re-
turn of ffty-four dollars per month.
Feed cost approximately seven dollars
per head per month, leaving the en-
terprising young Texan a profit of
forty dollars per month. Expenses at
the college are very low, and with this
income Goen finished the year with
little change in his pockets.
The Texas school Of agriculture and
mechanical arts is a military institu-
ton, and the cadets puts in a full
day; but Goen missed no duty on ac-
count of his work. About two hours
day were required FOR milking, dis
tributing the milk, and collecting.
"Ill be back next fall with my two
helpers" Goen said at the close of
school in June, "And / wish you would
tell every boy you can reach how |
got by because that saying that no
one need be deprived of an education
because of lack of funds is no myth.

WHITE HOUSE

MRS. WILSON HAS COLLECTED
SPECIMENS FROM SERVICES OF

Washington, Nov. 2l.-The famous

DELUGE0F BAD
BOOZE We n 7
INTO SEWER
FIVE HUNDR'D GALLooNS CON-
FIscATED CIDER WAS DUMPED
YESTERDAY MORNING BY THE
OFFICERS.

That noise you heard in the south
east part of the city yesterday in
the vicinity of the septic tanks was
not a riot or disgruntled peeyish man
and woman who wanted to fight, but
merely the bugs in the tanks cele-
brating from the effect of five hun
that was dumped into the sewer at
the city Jail.
Chief of police Hutchins and spec
ial officer Braziel had a quantity of
the stuff that has been issued as
simple slider in this vicinity analized
few days ago and when it showed
an alcoholic proof high enough to
stagger a healthy mule they pro-
ceeded to cOnfiscate ten fifty gallon
barrels and after due process of law
dumped it into the sewer as above
stated The cider is very seductive,
has a pleasant taste, and therein lies
its danger. 1t has kick like an
army mule and when once it gets in
its work they do say that it lasts
until long after all the cattle have ar
rived home and have been housed
The officers state that there are a
number of places in the city and
county that have been handling the
stuff under the impression that it
was a temperance drink. All these
dispensers will be warned to discon-
tinue its sale and if they do not
obey arrests will follow.
The owner of the cider states that
he was informed by the wholesaler
that the stuff was within the law,
and he entered no protest when the
officers informed him of the real
facts, he, however, will have pretty
good claim against the manufacturers
if he has already paid for the stuff
and will in all probability be able
to recover.

closets, and place them in the new
cabinet
While the collection, which Mrs.
Baker has been building up for sew
eral years, includes pieces from every
president except two, some admins
trations are represented inadequately,
and she is continuing her work in
the hope of making it really repre-
sentative.
Eventually the walls of the room
are to be lined with cabinets for the
collection, but at present only the
first line has been put in. 1t extends
the entire length of the room and
is in harmony with the architecture
of the White House interior, modelled
after the Georgian period. The WOOD
work is of ivory white. The shelves
are lined with handsome velvet, which
gives perfect background for the
china as we'll as for the silver and
glass. The furniture of the room is
a part of the set used in the east
room during the administration of
PRECEDENT Mckinley, and is uphol-
stored in brocaded satin of a light
yellow tint
Mrs. Baker made search of the
historic ware already in the White
House, and placed in the central sec
ton of the new cabinet some of the
oldest pieces of silver and glass in the
mansion. The Washington and John
Adams relics are also displayed from
the center to the right On the left
of the cabinet the relics are arranged
in chronological order, of presidential
administrations. Mrs. Baker is in cor
respondence with a number of presi-
dental descendants who are contem-
plating gifts to the collection.

ROADS ARE NOW
IN A VERY BAD
co n D. n
RECENT RAINS HAVE PUT A
TEMPORARY STOP TO HAULING
OF PRODUCTS OF THE FARM
TO THE LOCAL MARKETS.

ANY doubling the wisdom of hav-
ing good roads leading in every di-
rection from Ardmore has but to
take a trip today" remarked a promi-
nent farmer who was in the city
minus several bales of cotton that
he wanted to put on the market but
rather took chance on a decline in
prices than to punish his team by
driving them heavily loaded over the
roads in the condition they are after
the recent rain.
This farmer is one that wants to
vote for good roads bonds. He travels
them all the year and the wear and
tear on farm stock and vehicles would
pay his pro rata he states.
Unless the citizens Of Ardmore get
busy and build that toll road to the
oil fields they are not going TO have
very much use for a big hotel" he
continued, and several business men
with whom he was talking could not
deny the statement. "The movement
now on foot to get a permanent road
built from the city to the oil fields
is the most practical one that has
ever been launched in Ardmore. All
the spasmodic contributions for tenn
porary repairs in the past has been
Just that money and energy wasted
and unless tho people of Ardmore
come across and'~take stock as tLev
should with this plan they had better
forget all about ever wanting a road
and content themselves with trails
in the future"
This man was informed by several
in the party to whom he was address
sing his remarks that the road would
be built notwithstanding the few tight
wads who were everlastingly opposed
to trusting a dollar for the advance
ment Of the city although there are
several of the kind here and who
history will reveal made every dol
lar they possess within the confines
Of the city. this road will be an
asset in which every citizen will take
PRIDE. but the live wires will have TO
share the pleasures with those who
refuse at this time to harvest one cent
toward its construction. and that is
about the only cloud on their horizon
at present.

LEGS ARE A BORE

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
In all the cries and lamentations that
arise generally about periodical street car
strikes and in all the solemn deliver
ances of experts upon the subject, there
never is a sign of that sort of philosophic
perception which might turn these social
phenomena to account and view the re-
viewed-as an incentive to walking.
Nobody wants to walk nowadays. Physi-
clans tell you what an excellent and In
MIGRATING exercise walking is even on
city pavements, and they themselves
hustle for a street car or taxicab rather
than walk half dozen blocks.
Legs are becoming a bore. The day
may come when we shall be actually
ashamed of them. They are of use now
only to tango with and as appendageS
the scoreboard over the heads of the
crowd. 1t has required the recent spora-
die Interruptions of street car service in
various cities to show how distasteful
walking has become in America. A man
who goes to his work in a street car or
motor car every morning rather than
walk 10 blocks laboriously learns golf
a game which he may detest, in order
to keep fit. And yet, as physicians and
philosophers always have viewed 1t,
walking is better than any other sort Of
exercise because it may be enjoyed alone,
without distractions and with innumera-
BILE invitations to meditation and mental
exercise

thrilling melodrama.
Throughout the evening he would stand

STEEL MERCHANTMEN

From the Nashville Banner.
In the building Of steel merchant
vessels the shipyards of the United
States are almost on a par with those
OF England, long famed for the ex-
tent and superior character of their
work. On October 1, according to the
bureau of navigation figures. there
were building or orders placed in the
yards of this country AT steel ships
for freight and passenger traffic, Of
1.454,270 gross tons, and in the British
yards 46s ships of 1,7S9,o54 gross tons.
During September this country's yards
finished 10 steel vessels and took con-
tracts for II new vessels. about half
of which are for Norwegian concerns.
Owing to the slow delivery of machine
cry and engines in England, the British
and American output is about equal.
Representatives of Norwegian capt.
tai have arrived in New York to look
after the work being done and to study
manufacturing and financial subjects
of interest to that country. These wish
tors say that Norway and other Scan
dinavian countries are likely to con-
tinue to make heavy drafts upon the
shipbuilding and manufacturing re-
sources of this country. Another good
feature about the contracts for tho
ships is that they are to be used to q
large extent in traffic between Norway
and the United States.
An idea of the growth of the steel
shipbuilding industry since the war be-
gan can be obtained from the fact that
the contracts for new ships placed in
September were equal In number to all
the merchant steel tonnage building
or under contract in the United States
on July I, 1918, and were ahead of the
record on July 1, 1914.
The United States was far behind in
the matter of shipbuilding when tho
war began, but the energy displayed
| in the last arsand a half bids fair ito
retrieve in large part the backwardness
hitherto prevailing. AS a maritime ma
ton this country will cut a consid-
cradle figure when the war is over.
This will enable the shippers to secure
space in freighters floating the stars
and stripes, and largely release ex
porters from the domination of foreign
shipowners.
