Nevertheless and notwithstanding, the reputa-
ton of the Hope diamond is probably blasted for
ali time If it hasn't the "evl eye" there are
millions of superstitious people who believe 1t has
and will give credence to everything evil they may
read about it.
They may, in the course of time, even attribute
to its malign influence the automobile accident
which made Vinson Mclean at his birth the sole
heir to the great Walsh fortune. In 1905, when
automobiles were rare, Vinson Walsh, brother OF
Mrs Mclean was killed in smashup at Newport
Mrs Mclean, who was then Miss Evelyn Walsh,
was also in the car and received injuries which
made her an invalid for year.
Two other children have been born to MIR. and
Mrs. Mclean, both boys, one of whom is four and
the other year old.
At the time of the probating of his GRANDPA
Their Walshs will it was found that there was
only $6210,000 to be divided between the two heirs
of the Mclean union, Vinson and John R., Jr.
Young Mclean was a democratic youth. For
several years his boon companion was small
negro boy. His tutors said he was an exception
ally bright student, and he was popular with his
mates.
He was fond of animals. Fifty-six Shropshire
sheep were sent all the way from Colorado to Bar
Harbor by express for him. They came from the
big Walsh ranch, Wolhurst, near Denver. He
himself directed the purchase of a great flock of
white Brahma chickens, ducks and turkeys, Rus
sian wolf hound six blooded terriers, two Great
Danes and a half score of other dogs and a great
number of ponies.

one of the stories about the stone since it has been
in their possession seems to indicate that Its evil
reputation had its effect upon them.
Anyway as the story goes there was some hitch
about the payment of the purchase price of the
stone. 1t evidently was not because OF lack OF
money There was law suit. In the course OF
the controversy stories were printed to show that
Mr. Mclean harbored a feeling Of dmidity be-
cause of the evil history attributed to the stone
and that he stipulated that the jewel should be
taken back by the Cartier firm in the event that
any tragedy occurred in the Mclean family within
six months. Whether that story Is true is NOT
clear, but eventually formal announcement was
made by attorneys connected with the suit over
the purchase price that compromise had been
effected.
The superstitious who believe in the "evil eye,
which is worldwide belief that neither Christian
ity nor civilization has been able to KILL will
pin their faith on the evil spell of the Hope dia
mond to this fact:
yinson Mclean was probably the most carefully
guarded child in the world yet casual automobile
came alone and killed him.

ANIMAL
CONTROL SHEEP-KILLING DOG
Secretary of Agriculture Asks Twenty
Governors to Urge Laws Pro-
tecting Sheep.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The enactment of more adequate
state laws to control sheep-killing
dogs is urged by Secretary Houston in
a letter just sent to the governors OF
20 states. The secretary points OUT
that, although there has been a gratl-
flying increase in the number OF sheep
in the United States in the past year,
there is room for further expansion OF
the industry. Farmers, he says, are
discouraged in many instances from
keeping sheep on account of the DAN
ger of damage by dogs. The letters
were sent to the governors of Arkan-
sas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, lndi-
ana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Okla
homa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vfr-
ginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin,
where state legislatures are now In
session. Following is the letter:
II understand that many states now
have under consideration the matter OF
legislation to encourage the larger ue-
velopment of the sheep industry by re-
moving or controlling the dog menace.
During the past year, as you perhaps
know, there has been a gratifying in
crease in the number Of sheep in the
United States. There is undoubtedly
room in many sections of the country
for further expansion along this line,
especially in the settled farming areas.
The field representatives of this de-
partment, however, generally report
that farmers are discouraged in many
instances from keeping sheep on &C
count Of the danger of damage by
dogs.

A system Of sheep farming that In
to be continuously successful can not
ignore either wool or mutton. In many
cases the two products will be worthy
Of equal consideration. In others
either one may be emphasized accord

management, and marketing.

Frankel brought the stone to
New York. Wilson says the
authentic story of the stone
begins with 1880, when Ella
son sold it to Hope. He
traces it through the Hope
heirs to its sale at auction to
Frankel in London in 1901.
Habib bought it in Paris and
ii was sold at auction In
Paris when the Habib col
lection was disposed of In
1909. 1t is believed, though
it has never been proved, that
the present stone was cut
from the 671s-karat blue dia-
mond that formed a part of
the stolen French regalia.

The test showed that the nineteen

November. The average production
for the herd during this month was
over 40 pounds Of butterfat.

Where even q few cows are kept, a

plest way to accomplish this is to al
low the pigs to eat from a properly

HELP FOR EXPORTERS

Under the Webb act, passed by the

with which to help along the export
business. This fund is now avail
able. and from present indications 1t
is not going to go begging. Some 80
export organizations, consisting of
groups Of manufacturers combined
