MISSING MAN APPEARS
IN MARTINSBURG, w. VA.
Lewis n. Hollar, Who Disappeared
From Local Hospital Eight Days
Ago, at Brothers Home.

Lewis Henry Hollar. twenty-eight
years old. soldier-patient, who disap-
peared from Walter Reed Hospital
eight days ago clad only in his pa
jamas, last night appeared at the home
of his brother, Philip H. Hollar, Mar
tinsburg, W. Va, according to a mes
sage received by his wife at her home
in Alexandria this morning.
The brother teIephoned that Lewis
feet were frozen and that he was suf-
fering intense pain. He was unable to
tell anything about his movements
after he escaped through the bathroom
window at the hospital about 3 o'clock
the morning of November IA.
Hollar. his brother stated, was clad
in old clothing such as he might easily
have obtained in his aimless wandering
through the country. His condition and
appearance, it is stated. suggested that
he probably had slept in the woods
or in outhouses in the country on his
long trip to Martinsburg.
Mrs. Hollar and her parents were
relieved Of a terrible strain when they
received the telephone message this
morning. The wife arranged to con-
fer with officials Of Walter Reed Hos
pital this afternoon. The hospital au-
thorities will send to Martinsburg for
the sick man, and he will be returned
here If he is able to travel.

That the world has many interesting
Jobs covering an infinite variety of
subjects, was asserted by Rev. Dr. John
Van Schaick. president of the board of
education. in an address to students of
the Dunbar High School today. He said
that il is one of the first duties of in
situations of learning to tell the stu
dents what those jobs are and how
many different kinds Of useful work
may be found in the world
He urged them not to put all their
eggs in one basket however but said
they might specialize in one line and
yet be fairly proficient in one or two
others. DIR. van Schaick urged them to
remember that all honest work has dig
nifty and honor. He spoke of the work
being done by women in Europe, who
have taken the place of many in agri-
cultural and other pursuits while the
men are engaged in the war

PRIVATE ASSAYS BARRED.
Geological Survey Can Make Only
Visual Inspections.

private analyses of assays of rocks
cannot be made by the United States
geological survey. which. in a bulletin
lust issued, says that a number of
specimens are received asking for
either assays or analyses. the people
not apparently being able to distin-
guish between the two. Just what can
he done is explained by the survey as
follows:
The geological survey can make
neither an assay nor an analysis for
private parties; il can. however. make
Il visual inspection of a specimen. or it
AN make a simple chemical test to de-
tcrmIue whether the specimen contains
Il commercial amount Of some valuable
mineral. such potash. Ninety-nine
out Of every hundred specimens sub
mitted to the survey are found to be
commercially yalueless. Such an in
spectiou or test. however. is widely diff
ierent from an analysis.
y complete analysis Of IL rock that is
composed Of many different minerals
may require the more or less continual
attention Of chemist for month or
s.A weeks. and such work is done by
the survey only in connection with its
own scientific Investigations.
An assay. on the other hand. is
usually II fire test made to determine
The exact metal content Of an ore speci-
men. The geological survey makes no
assays for private parties"
