could not longer rely with impunity
upon lulling statements of the kind
that had been issued by the ousted
officials, appointed a committee to
wait on the new health commissioner.
rms committee proposed to meet the
| situation half way in an effort to put
an end to the embarrassing court pro-
ceedings which were growing out of
my privately constituted meddling with
crimes that were said to have no exist
ence.
I'VE now realize that we must have
an adequate inspection system for our
protection" said the committee. I'VE
know that we cannot place the burden
of such system upon the taxpayer.
To meet this difficulty we are ready to
pay to the city of New York 5 cents q
head for every dressed carcass shipped
to West Washington Market. From
the fund thus established the city can
provide veterinarians to pass upon the
wholeoomeness of our products before
we offer them-for sale
This proposition was designed to put
an end to the costly notoriety and dis
astrous prosecutions for which was
responsible.
The board of estimate acted upon
the plan and made it legal. In rec
ommending the plan Controller Prem
dergast said:
AS SNSry taxpayer Knows Lno city
is paying for all sorts of inspectors who
tread on one apother's heels. 1t is
refreshing to have a, plan suggested
that does not lay the expense at the
! door of the city, but causes it to be
| met by the persons actually bene-
| fited.'
Thus was official denial of the very
existence of corruption met not only
| by court convictions, but also by vol
untary admissions of guilt and a volun-
tary plan of practical control.
West Washington Market had be-
come an experiment station. 1t
proved, for the benefit of the legis-
lators of the state as well as for the
| benefit of every city. county and state
official, that the disease of which it
was a striking symptom was wide
/ spread.
It was natural. therefore, to expect
| that an effort would somewhere be
made by public-spirited citizens to
meet the issue to which the market
SO emphatically called attention. Such
an effort was made.
To provide against the statewide
perils revealed through it's disclosures

The inspectors also found $4,000 bar

of poultry, cheese butter and other

CARE FOR BIRDS
Maryland Children Making
Robin Land of Mountain

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 26.-Thirteen

narrow, rangy, mountainous strip in
the northwest corner of this State.
Despite the cold, partridges, redbirds.
wrens, quail, martens, bluebirds and
pheasants by the thousands, beside
the robins, fill the county.
Any winter day outside any sone of
62 one-room schools visitor will see
a small girl scattering cracked corn,
meal and crumbs in lavish quantities
about a wide cleared space. Pheasants
come quite close to her, and smaller
birds by hundreds drop down at lit
tie distance for their rations This is
the feeding the birds" hour, in which
almost every pupil some day in the
year acts as dispenser to birds that
have come, some of them, 100 miles.
Some of these schools are remote,
attended by less than 20 children each,
who live in neighborless homes and
who in winter were without even the
delight of outdoor pets until the
brownnest, scrubbiest, hillsides be-
came filled with noisy, active, brightly
colored birds.

and back alone throughout the winter.
So he brought the birds First he or

had been backward, seemingly, and
would not talk, became the brightest
students. They liked the birds and
wero as interested as if school had
suddenly become part of outdoors.
Each club elected a president, who
made plans for the winter visitors.

school. Brush, tall grass and every
obstruction was swept away. Then

ex-mayor of New York city, framed a
bovine tuberculosis bill which was in
troduced to the Legislature at Albany
by Senator Wilson and Assemblyman
Gillette.
This bill reduced responsibility for

TED MEREDITH TO
QUIT ATHLETICS
Final Efforts in September
Says Lawson Robertson;
Successful Career

New York, Jan. 30.-Ted Meredith,
considered by many the greatest middle
distance runner of all times, will hang
up his spiked shoes for good and all
after the National Track and Field
Championships of the A. A. u, which
are to be held in ST. Louis on Septem-
Der and S.
Lawson Robertson, coach of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who was en-
gagged largely through Meredith's in
strumentality, is the authority for this
announcement of the Quaker fier's
forthcoming retirement. In the spring
of 1912, Meredith first came into promi-
nence by astonishing the athletic world
by running a quarter mile at the Uni
versity, of Pennsylvania relay games
as member of the Mercersburg Aca-
deny one-mile relay team. Less than
three months later he won the Olympic
SOO-meter championship and raced on
the $50 yards setting a worlds record
OF l minute, 521a seconds.
Enters Pennsylvania
In the Fall of 1912 he entered the Uni
Nersity of Pennsylvania, and becoming
eligible to represent the Red and Blue
the following year has been the most
conspicuous athlete on the American
ctnder path. His career as a college
champion eliminated last spring when
he set worlds mile record of 1 min
ute 81 1-5 seconds in dual meet with
Cornell, and made a new worlds mark
of 4 2-5Sseconds for the quarter mile
Meredith feels that it is time that he
settled down to hard work." said Rob-
ertson, in talking about Meredith's re-
tirement, but before he quits for good
he wants to regain his national quarter
mile title, which he lost last fall when
he was defeated by Tom Halpin."

The fertile plain in which Damascus
is situated is about 80 miles in dame

which is probably the ALBANIA of Scrip

on the south, increase this fertility
and these two contend for the honor
of representing the Pharpar, the 9TH

The denarius, translated penny, was
a Roman silver coin in the time OF
Jesus and his apostles. 1t was the
principal silver coin of the Roman
commonwealth. From the parable of
the laborers in the vineyard, in the
twentieth chapter of Matthew, it would
appear that a denarius was then the
ordinary pay for q days labor.
