ZIMMERMAN WILL
TRAIN new RACER

Dr. w. W. Zimmerman will train a
new mare this year. He announced
Tuesday that he has secured a six
year old mare from Frank Norman,
east of Richmond that is of fast stock
and should develop into speedy
track horse.
The mare has never been broke to
work single. but has been working
double. She is sired by Pat Murphy, a
son of Anderson Wilkes, and damned
by Williar M. (2:09A), producing
mare of fast colts.
Norman will bring the mare to
Richmond in the next few days and
j. M. Kerr, who has taken care of
Zimmerman's horses for years will be
in charge Kerr has aided in the
training of some of the fastest Indiana
horses including Single G, sired by
Anderson Wilkes.
DR.. Zimmerman said that he did
not expect to place the mare in the
tracks this year, but If it could be
broke in a few weeks and showed
speed he would send it to the Indian
apolis track to work out and see what
it could do. i am turning to horses
again" Zimmerman said, because 1
feel that my health is breaking and
l need to get out in the open more"
Kerr and Zimmerman expect to go
to the Indianapolis track in the near
future and look over the horses Kerr
said that the horse which won this
year would have to beat Single G.. The
stallion is in his best shape and should
do some good work this year, he said.

NEW PARIS-Miss Nora Neanen
died at the home of her mother, Mrs.
Patrick Neanen Thursday night, after
an illness of several months. She was
81 years old, and had been employed
as stenographer for the Abatoir COM
pany at Richmond for several years
The patriot. (Glenmora, La.) 1918-1955, 1919-07-18

found that he suffered financial reverses and other
personal misfortunes
Hope is credited with having given the diamond
to his daughter at the time she married the sixth
duke Of Newcastle in 1851. But apparently 1t was
the fiction mongers and not she who bequeathed
the gem to her son, Lord Francis Hope, that 1t
might get sensationally into the life of May Yohe
the American actress.
This part of the story is mere fiction. 1t is true
that May Yohe married Lord Francis Hope 1t
is true that she eloped with Capt Putnam Brad
lee Strong of former mayor of New York
Lord Francis obtained divorce and the wife
married Captain Strong, only to be divorced
second time.
But May Yohe, although she has been quoted
saying that she wore the Hope diamond only
twice and that her troubles were due to its malign
influence, probably never even saw the stone. Ger
tainy Lord Francis never had possession of It,
So. when the story goes on to say that he sold
it for $168,000 to Joseph Frankel, New York
jeweler, the statement Is untrue.
1t is true that Frankel had the gem in New
York. Where and from whom Frankel acquired
the stone never has been made clear, but the
stone went back to Paris and into the possession
of Jacques Colet who bought 1t from Frai2kel.
Colet has been reported as having killed himself
after losing his mind.
Before that tragedy however, the diamond is
reputed to have passed into the ownership of
disposes of the prince at the hands of mob Of
Russian revoutionists. Thence the story skips to
the murder of Mile. Ladue, to whom the Russian
prince had loaned the diamond A jealous adj
mirer is charged with this murder.
Next in the legend of the jewel Is listed Simon
Moncharides, of whose identity there appears to
be uncertainty. But the legend sends him riding
close enough to precipice to be thrown over and
killed. Just before his death Moncharides is cred
tied with having sold the diamond to Selim Habib,
a Persian, who acted agent for the Sultan
Abdul Hamid
One version of the next chapter is. that Habib
drowned in wreck and the diamond lost.
The publication of this was later explained as q
ruse to throw thieves off the trail This version
takes the stone Constantinople, where 1t cuts a
wide swath In violence. misfortune and death and
finally brings about the end Of Abdul Hamid
Be all that it may it appears that instead of
having drowned with the gem In the shipwreck
Habib got back to Paris with II. 1t was sold at
auction for $4,000 June "A. 1909.
The gem then passed into possession of p c.
Cartier and the Cartier firm brought it to this
country. In January, 1911, announcement was
made that the stone had been sold to the Mclean
family and that the purchase price was $1S0O00
Mrs. Mclean wore the stone at least once in pub
lic according to the newspapers.

the Mclean purchase states thar the .eyil eye

MILK AND CREAM DEFINITION
Standards to Be Used for Enforcement
of Food and Drugs Act Published
in Circular.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
Definitions and standards for milk
and cream adopted by the joint COM
mittee on definitions and standards
and approved by both the Association
of American Dairy, Food and Drug
Officials and the Association of Off
cial Agricultural Chemists, to be used
as a guide for the enforcement of the
food and drugs act, have been published
by the United States department of ag-
ricuIture in a circular, Food lnSpec-
ton Decision 178."
Milk is defined as the whole, fresh,
clean, Tactical secretion obtained by
the complete milking of one or more
healthy cows, properly fed and kept,
excluding that obtained within 10 days
before and five after calving, or such
longer period as may be necessary to
render the milk practically cOlustrum
free.
Pasturized milk is milk that has
been subjected to a temperature not
lower than AS degrees Fahrenheit for
not less than 80 minutes. Unless it
is bottled hot, it is promptly cooled
to so degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
SKINNED milk is milk from which
substantially all of the milk fat has
been removed.
Buttermilk Is the product that re-
mains when fat is removed from milk
or cream, sweet or sour, in the proc
ess of churning.
Cream, sweet cream, is that portion
to the surface of milk on standing, or
is separated from 1t by centrifugal
force. 1t is fresh and clean 1t con-
tains not less than IS per cent Of milk
fat and not more than 2-10 per cent
of acid-reacting substances calculated
in terms of Tactic acid.
Whipping cream is cream which con-
tains not less than 80 per cent Of
milk fat.
Homogenized milk or homOgeniZed
cream is milk or cream that has been
mechanically treated in such a manner
as to alter its physical properties with
particular reference to the condition
and appearance of the fat glObules.
The composition Of the milk pro-
duced by different breeds of dairy cows
varies so greatly, say the food officials,
that it is not practicable to fix stand
ard which is applicable In ali locali-
ties in the United States and its ter
ritories. 1t is therefore. left to the
state and municipal authorities to
adopt such standards as their local
production conditions may warrant.
