Rambler is thus moralizing please
grant him few more lines to say
that unhealthy ambition is the great
wrinkles in the world. The ambition
to appear more prosperous than you
are to live in a larger house, wear
finer clothes and spend more money
than you make, to enter into rivalry
with people who have more money
than you have, or spend more than
they have. and to pretend that you
are somebody you are not, Is the great
trouble-maker of the world.
But the Rambler does not draw his
salary for being a moralist. In truth,
he does not know why he draws any
sals"y at all. 1t certainly cannot be
for writing. because everybody knows
how to write and everybody knows
how to write better than anybody
else. The Rambler is going to say
that he believes Horace. Shakespeare,

duce such large crops OF distinguished
ancestors as you do"
The Rambler knows that that is
sound advice.
A few hundred yards from the en-
chanted quarry the Rambler came out
upon the River road where 1t crosses
Cabin John creek. At that point is
big barn which belongs to the farm
called Stoneyhurst, though the house
Of Stoneyhurst Is about half mile
east OF the barn on a high hill at the
junction Of the River road and the
Seven Locks road. Perched on
steep hillside above the barn il a
house. The barn is built on the site

the home of the various millers who
at different times had immediate direc-

which the Rambler has previously
written.

1t was sunny day and the Rambler
met in the road by the barn the man
who lives in the milier's house. He
has several pretty children--Mabel. ten
years old; Wallace. eight years old;

years old, and Emma, two years old,

Hunt for Draft Evaders

Men of draft age who evaded service during
the war will not be granted immunity by the army
authorities. The names of delinquents are in
the hands of army officers and federal attorneys
and the evaders will be brought before civil or
military courts fast as they are arrested.
The records show that thousands of men of
military age evaded the draft. Local authorities
will be called on to help find them. Many have
escaped to Mexico, Central and South America.
Within the next three months complete record
of the evaders will be compiled and ready for dis
trbution among the police authorities

CITY MAY BUY FOOD
FROM U. S.; COUNCIL
INVESTIGATES plan

A proposal to buy government food.
which is being sold for Is per cent less
than what is costs, was made at the
special session of council called Mon
day evening to pass an ordinance ap-
propriating money for the purchase
of the Dickinson Trust building on
South Eighth street.
Because of the fact that it Is neces-
sary to buy coal, it will not be pos
sible to pay cash for the building as
was hoped. A sum of $12,5 will be
paid Immediately and $4,000, with
$500 interest, at the end Of six months.
Rules were suspended and the ordi-
nance was passed on third reading.
The building will be occupied by the
office Of the city light plant.
The proposal to buy food was made
by Councilman Joe Waterman. who
said that the chairman Of the Demo
cratic committee had been informed
that Richmond could have food. The
food Is bought cheaply and the
government allows 80 days for pay
ment. In this time it would be pos
sible for the city to sell the food to
poor people and would not cost any
thing A motion was carried to COM
municate with Washington authori-
ties.
Complaints were made that the east
end market does not open soon
enough. A resolution was passed
that the market will open at five
o'clock in the morning hereafter.
The building inspector was instruct.
ed to Investigate a house at 56 Sher'
| man street. which is reported to be
| in a dangerous condition.

MADE H. s. INSPECTOR

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 15.-The
appointment of E. B. Wetherow, SUI
perintendent of the Peru schools, as
state high school inspector by l.. n.
Hines, state superintendent of public
instruction, was approved Monday al
ternoon by the state board of edu-
cation.
Lee L. Driver of Winchester, ap-
pointed to the position some time ago,
to succeed Oscar H. Williams, who be-
came state normal school inspector,

Many applicants for the place have
been considered by Mr.. Hines.
Mr.. Wetherow has been in charge of

prior to that time he was superintend-
ent Of the Miami county schools for
ten years. Mr.. Wetherow, while not
a college graduate has had consider
able training in Columbia university.

ly a rural problem and he believed
that a man who had served as coun
" SUPERINTENDENT should be named fol
the place.

manuscript department, and F. l.. Col
Inns, superintendent of the Hagers
town schools and assistant in the state
department, were considered for the
| position.

Helping Polish Children

How American chocolate is proving cure for
blindness in the case of hundreds of children in
Poland is the story brought back by Jacob Bill
kopf, who has just returned to America after a
stay of several months in that country, where he
went to investigate the conditions for the Ameri
can Jewish Relief committee.
In the territory where the Polish armies
fighting the Bolshevists, and in the various large
cities of Poland, there are today thousands of
children who cannot see at all in the sunlight, Mr.
Billikopf says. All day long, and until twilight
to relieve them, they are afflicted by con-
slant twitching of the eyelids. Their disease,
which broke out during the period of the German
occupation, named huehnerkrankheit, or
"hen-sickness," by the German doctors. 1t was
induced by starvation, resulting when manutri-
1ion had lasted so long that it not only affected
the bones of the children, but prevented the de-
veopment of the muscles of their eyes, it is said.
The disease becomes total blindness, in aggra-
waited cases. It's only cure is proper nourishment.
But it takes long time to overcome huehner-
krankheit, because of the terrible condition in
which the children of Poland are today
Anything more pitiable than the sight Of a
large group of little children unable to see, and
not understanding their pain, cannot be imagined,
Mr.. Bilkopf says. In Wilma his own birthplace,
he visited one of the institutions where American
aid had already come, through the American Jew
ish Relief committee. The children in the
courtyard, behind the hospital. They were not
running about and playing, as normal children do,
but lying still on mats on the ground. There was
no talking and laughing among them. They were
the only altogether silent group of children that
he had ever seen, Mr.. Billikopf says.
AS he entered, with the doctor in charge of
upon the two. Then it was noticeable that they
entirely unable to control the action of their
eyelids Some of them were able to keep their
eyes open for only few seconds at time. Others
already partly cured, were in less serious condi
ton.
American chocolate because of its nutritive
properties, is the best prescription for the dis
ease. according to the physician in charge OF
these children, Polish Jew. The arrival of fooc
from the United States had checked the disease
he told Mr.. Bilkopf. A total cure can be affected
