VALUE OF PLAY

Most people would say that plays

do. Play is In reality, however, of al
sorts and descriptions. Those that
produce something useful besides Civ
ing rest are greatly to be preferred.
There are many sorts equally slim

One essential to beneficial play is

end the blood in turn takes away the
debris and returns it to the outside
atmosphere. This will make plain to
any reader the necessity Of what has
been said about the proper environ
ment in which to exercise.
Unless the blood is supplied with
what nature has provided for her nor
NAL function. the digestive system will
fail and the body will be wanting in
nOuriShment. When this condition
takes place man becomes susceptible to
the disease germs that are ever pres

The factor which sent Ohio cities
Gas up with such startling rapidIty
that 1t surprised old traders in the
Stock Exchange Is biting the hand
that fed it-and IL is biting with sharp
teeth too. Ohio Cities Gas began to
climb recently on reports that direct
ors would meet soon to increase the
stock issues that the company might
take advantage of the development OF
its oil properties. 1t was a perfectly
good bull argument at that time, and
IL drove the stock up past 40 on
the ground that the increase would
mean valuable rights for stockholders.
Conditions have changed since the
DAYS when o. G. s. topped the market.
So reports that the time is near when
the disqualification will actually take
place reflect bearishly. The argu-
ment this time is that under present
conditions the additional securities
will be absorbed by the market only
with difficulty. o. G. s. closed at

points for the day.

MANNING DECLARED
PRACTICALLY DEAD
LithetOn Argues Motion to Set
Aside $225,0 900 Verdict.

NEW YORK, June 21.-MartIn w.
Littleton, attorney for John Bernard
Manning, against whom Miss Honora
May O'Brien obtained a verdict Of
S225. 900 for breach of promise, told
Justice Cropsey in the Queens county
supreme court yesterday during the
argument on a motion to set aside the
verdict on the ground that the
amount awarded was excessive, that
Mr.. Manning had been practically
dead for some time"
He is here" said Mr.. Littleton,
"only because he has persisted in liv-
ing for some time beyond the expec-
tations OF all experts in mortality CAL
culations. l believe the jurors reach
ed their verdict by saying to them
selves, This old man won't miss this
money, as he is going to die pretty
soon and doesn't need it, and the girl
is poor and ought to have it,"
Mr.. Littleton also said he believed
the jury was influenced by Justice
Cropsey's charge.
Stephen c. Baldwin. attorney for
Miss O'Brien, asserted that in view Of
the reputed wealth OF Mr.. Manning,
which has been estimated as high as
$4,000, 600, the verdict was made
quate. Justice Cropsey said he would
go over the testimony very carefully,
particularly that OF Manning, before
he reached a decision on the motion.

SURGEON DIES IN
CHAIR OF DENTIST
Anesthetic Fatal, Though Best
Means Were Used.

NEW YORK, June 21.-within an
hour after successfully performing
a difficult operation upon a patient,
DR.. Augustus A Hussey. of Brooklyn,
died yesterday in the office of DR.. Vic
tor Crossman while undergoing the
usually simple operation for the ex-
traction OF q troublesome moIar. DR..
Hussey was apparently in perfect
condition just previous to the opera
ton, and TESTED with DR.. Crossman
upon the fact that he had to submit
to an operation SO shortly after he
had himself acted as a surgeon to an
other person.
The prospect OF going under an
anesthetic evidently made DR.. Hussey
trifle uneasy, for on the way to the
dentist he called at the office OF DR..
Elliott Bishop, a former co-worker,
and asked him to accompany him. DR..
Hussey was shown to the operating
room and settled himself in the chair
while DR.. Bishop waited in an out
side room. The usual gas, consisting
OF nitrous oxide and oxygen, was Rd-
ministered by a machine of the most
modern make, which makes a click,
ing noise every time the patient takes
breath. Should the clicking stop
turn OF the valve will at once re-
lease a flow of pure oxygen, which
pours into the lungs Of the patient.
The cup was removed from the pa.
TENTS mouth and the tooth extracted.
linen it was seen by DR.. Crossman
that DR.. Hussey had ceased to
breathe. DR.. Bishop was called from
the waiting room and restoratives
were applied without avail.

Foreigner. in Liberty Loan.

In these days, when so much IRE
sponsible talk is heard regarding the
attitude OF the foreign.born element
IN this country toward the Liberty
loan, 1t is interesting to find a con
crete example OF just how the foreign
employees OF a big corporation are
supporting the Government OF this
country. in which they are making
their daily bread and butter. The big
International Nickel Company has al
its Bayonne plant 2,195 employees and
OF that number 1915 are foreigners
OF the total subscriptions OF S232,9o
by all employees to the Liberty loan
from IS to so per cent was provided
by the foreign-born workers. PROB
ably II a compilation should be made
of the subscriptions by employees OF
all corporations It would be found
that the foreigners were doing theiI
bit as well as the natives.

The strike suit against the Della
ware and Hudson Company has gone
into the discard. but the action of
the man who sought to compel the
company to cut out its dividend, ap-
parently for stock jobbing purposes,
naturally has increased the number
OF persons in the financial community
who insist that d. & H. is paying
dividends at q rate which Is not justi-
fed by the position of the property.
d. & H. pays per cent a year and
Its stock Is selling at 1928. yester-
days closing price. That's cheap for
0 per cent stock. But will the
company continue to throw conserva-
tism aside and pay AZ that rate in
1918? For 1917 the dividend already
has been declared. And that's a poor
custom for any company to follow,
almost as bad as the retroactive
theory on taxation.
