TODAYS ANNIVERSARY

The first habitations of white men on the island of Manhattan were erec- ted in 1613. The first structures in the American metropolis were four small houses, or rather huts, anG they were on the site now occupied by the skyscraper at fl Broadway. A bronze tablet on the building at that address commentaries the beginning of New York city. The collection of novels gradually grew into town, which was almost wiped out by fire in 1926. The first fort was commenced in 1892, on site now occupied by the Custom House, the main gate of Fort Amster- dam, as it was called, opening on Bowling Green, where the first set tiers played their games. In 1853 a wooden wall was constructed as a de- fense against a threatened invasion of New Englanders, and the site of this wall afterward became Wall Street.

HAVOC WROUGHT BY FROZEN PIPE
 IN LOCAL STORE

Bursting of a four-inch water pipe supplying an automatic fire sprink Ter system, flooded the clothing store of the Foster-Bes Co.,, at 956 Main St., last evening, and caused damage estimated at several thousands of dollars. The disaster was due to the freezing of the water in the pipe.
 J. M. Bowden, manager of the To- cal office of the American District Telegraph, discovered the accident shortly after seven o'clock, when he went to the store to investigate an automatic alarm received in his office at 6:59. In the belief that tF build ing was afire, he entered and. started to go upstairs when he was greeted by a rush of water from above. He quickly realized what had happened, and notified the store management.
 All available members of the store were summoned to scene at once, and set to work removing such parts of the stock as were in greatest danger. They succeeded thus in saving prop orty of considerable value. Heavy damage was inflicted, how ever, upon the stocks of underc1oth- ing, boys attire, shoes, boots, etc., stored on the second floor and third floors. The volume of water which flooded these two floors was immense, and little could be done toward sav- ing the goods.
 Much damage was done to the building, ceilings and walls being SC thoroughly soaked that the plaster
 
 employees prevented a much heavier loss than that incurred by forcing all of the water from the upper floors to the basement, and there bailing and pumping it out.
 The loss, though heavy, is covered by insurance. The store will be clos ed until adjustments and repairs are made.

FOOD REPORTS
 MUST BE FILED
 BY JANUARY 10

All dealers in or manufacturers of food or, feed material and every holder of such comm odities in lots substantially greater than family sup plies must fill out a survey blank on or before Jan. 10, 1918. and mail it to the Chief of the Bureau of Markets, Washington, D. c. This is according to the act of Congress which provides for a food survey of the United States. Prof. Guy c. Smith, field agent in marketing for Connecticut, located at the Agricul- tural College, Storrs, Conn.,, has avail able a supply of these blanks which he is distributing to persons not al- ready supplied in. response to mail or personal requests.
 Professor Smith points out that the classification as established by the Bureau of Markets requires this blank not only from wholesale and retail dealers in food and feeds, pub lie warehouse men, and food and feed manufacturers, but that such schedule must be furnished by those in charge of hotels, restaurants, com missaries of industrial concerns, schools and other institutions pro- viding their stock on hand has value of $250 or more. Manufactur CTS are included who use food pro- duct in the preparation of another food even though the final product cannot be considered in the light of food product; as for example, chewing gum manufacturers, drug manufacturers and bottling concerns.
 Professor Smith calls attention to the fact that the mailing of such a statement is compulsory under the law and that a penalty is attached for failure to comply with the re- quirements. Holders of food in the classes designated, who have not re- ceived the blank, by Jan. ?, or those who need additional copies should ob- tain them at once from Professor Smith.
 The survey as planned will give the most comprehensive inventory of food ever made in the United States. It will show the total stock of food and for food material Tn the country, thus giving the government the neces- sary information upon which to base
 
 ing supplies already on hand and for producing the food needed next sea- son.
 To~a large extent the food survey will be carried on by means of sched- dulles or questionnaires. In addition, inventories will be made of stock held by several thousand representa- tive farmers in various parts of the country. The average holdings so de- termined will be used as a basis for an estimate of total holdings by fam lilies throughout the country. The total quantity of food stuffs held on farms will be determined by an es- timate made by the Bureau of Crop Estimates of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. The addi- tion of the stock in the hands of these three classes of holders will give the total supply in the country Dec 31, so far as it is possible to reckon it.

To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is mere- ly matter of using a little Dander- inc.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of .Knowlton's Dander- inc now--it costs but a few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten min utes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, fluffiness and an incomparable gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandruff or falling hair: but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fne and downy at first yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time. Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this.-Adv-

ton Expires After a
Brief Illness

Richard Arnold, vice-president Of the
Philharmonic Society Of New York, died
yesterday, following brief illness. He
was seventy-three years old, but had
been in excellent health up to short
time ago.
Mr.. Arnold became connected with
the Philharmonic Society over forty
years ago, when he was engaged as
first violinist. From 1885 to 1909 he
was concert master of the orchestra.

chosen vice-president in 1896, continu-
ing in that Office until his death.
Mr.. Arnold was born in Germany, but
came to this country as a boy. He
made his public debut as musician in
that city, conducting an orchestra when
he was only eleven years old.
In 1887 Mr.. Arnold was taken to
Leipsic, where he completed his musi-
cal education. During his student days
there he met Marie Heynau, an accom-
courtship they were married.
A little later Mr.. Arnold received
f1attering offers from musical organi-
cations in Leipsic and Dresden, but he
preferred to return to New York, even
though it might mean a struggle for
recognition and possibly complete fail
ure. And it was fact that the first
few months after his return were bar
rem Of the honors which might have
been his. for the asking had he re-
mained abroad.
The first engagement the young
musician secured was as drummer in
Niblo's Garden orchestra. A very few
weeks later, however, he secured an op-
rortunity to become frs. violinist with
the Symphony Orchestra.
Mr.. Arnold retired from active con-
nection with the Philharmonic in 1909.
