steamed out of Hoboken, bound for
Brcst, France. In a heavy snow storm

make study of the aerial situation"
he declared at the aeronautical EXPOSE
tion at Madison Square Garden, which
he visited this afternoon. but refused
to comment upon trans Atlantic flights
by navy aircraft.
Admiral d. w. Taylor, however, stat
ed that he believed England would at
tempt a dirigible flight across the At
lantic within a week.
Il don't believe England will beat us
over il the flight is made in heavier
than air machines" Taylor added. "The
navy has four flying boats of the N. C.
l type under construction, but it has
not been decided whether all four will
be sent across at the same time or not"
The length of Secretary Daniels stay

sible that he and Secretary Baker may
come back with the president, If the
peace treaty and league of nations COW
enant do not necessitate an unusually
long stay by the president.

PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARs
How the Great Lakes Joined in Their
Wondrous Leap Over the Fa-
nous Ridge.

In old, old times, On the highest
peak of a great mountain, there dwelt
a hunter and his five sparkling daugh-
tiers. Their lodge was of bright betula
bark and on clear days they could see
the distant ocean flashing like silver
band. "Come out! Come out" cried
the youngest daughter the little Ell.
"Come Su! Come Hu Come Mi Come
Cla! (The names stand in order for
Erie, Superior, Huron, Michigan and
st. Clair). Let us away 10 the sea,
where the foaming breakers roarp SO
they left their lodge and leaped AID
sang with happy hearts. Their robes
were of blue and chrysolite green and
doated on the breeze. Their mOccasins
were of frozen water drops and their
wings of painted wind. And they scam
nered and romped across the plain or
fioated beneath the sky, or rushed past
valley and hill and field, singing and
shouting with glee At last they came
to precipice of Jagged rocks and
moss. "Alas ~ cried Err, "what dread
full leap! But we have come so far
chat we must go on or our father Will
laugh at us So come Su! Come HUI
Come Mi! Come Cha! and follow me- -
So over the steep they sprang arc
fioated down on their painted wings
They leaped and they sang like happy
hearted birds. Then the little Err cried;
''Let us up and down the steep again!"
And up and down the five maids
skipped and laughed at the sport and
foam and called<it Niagara Falls. And
today, through the rainbow mist, you
may see their robes of bfue and chryso-
lite green and their painted wings and
their twinkling feet, as the five play
in the waterfalL-New York Evening

Overcoming Hay Fever.

Hay fever is gradually becoming bet
ter understood. From the public health
reports, it appears that recent inves-
LEGATIONS have shown only one person
in hundred to be susceptible, while
the susceptibles differ widely in the eff
fects produced on them by the various
plant pollens that give rise to the dis
ease. In the eastern and southern
United States pollen Of the rag
weed finds the greatest number of
sensitive subjects, the spring type of
hay fever being therefore the most
common. The smaller number of per-
sons who are affected by grass pollen
have the autumnal type of fever. Some
persons have both the spring and the
autumnal fevers, and about 8 per cent
of the susceptibles are sensitive not
only to the ragweed and grass pollens,
but to various other pollens, including
some tree pollens. Such unfortunates
are liable to hay fever attacks through
out most Of the year. Some patients
are affected only when the specific pol
len is at its greatest abundance, but
others have the disease during the en-
tire season of the plants pollination.

Protection for Birds.

Some twenty states of the Union
have provided bird sanctuaries, or
laws for the protection of migratory
birds on their long flights in search
of feeding places. The matter has
even been made the subject of an in
ternational treaty between the United
States and Canada affecting practi-
cally all birds that regularly migrate
between the two countries. The
treaty provides, in effect, that no bird
important to agriculture because of
notwithstanding proclivities shall be
shot at any time. Second, that no
open game season on any species of
game shall extend for longer period
than 31a months. Third, that both
the countries shall so restrict open
seasons ON game birds as to prevent
them from being taken during the
breeding season.

Noah,s Ark In China.

A curious Chinese picture is of great
antiquity, and is supposed to repre-
sent Noah's ark on the top of Mount
Ararat. AS is well known, the re-
ligious literature of almost every ma
ton and race contains an account of a
deluge, but Chinese manuscript re-
Gently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded in the Bible.
It is particularly interesting in that
the roof of the Chinese ark Is of the
gable variety associated with the
Noah's arks which prove such enter
tanning toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however. shows dou-
ble-storied vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in the
roof, there are windows in every pos
sible space. 1t would be interesting
If some Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date of the
drawing.

Short Period in Which No Record q
American History Was Kept,
and the Reason.

- &
Twelve days in the history Of Amer
lea are blank, an exchange remarks.
If you should try to learn what hap
pened in the period between Septem-
Der 3 and September 10, 1852, you will
find no records, for those dates do not
exist. Under the old style calendar,
September 2, 1852, fell on Wednesday,.
The next day the Gregorian or new
style calendar was adopted by Great
Britain and her American colonies, and
the date set forward to September IA.
Up to this time the Julian calendar
had been followed by the English
speaking world. AS reformed by julius
Caesar in 46 B. 9. it made the year
consist Of 1865 days and six hours, with
an extra day added to February each
fourth year to account for the six
hours. This was the most accurate
calendar year yet devised, but it was
IL minutes and IA seconds longer than
the true solar year Of 365 days, hours,
48 minutes and 46 seconds, amounting
to day in 1913 years.
Pope Gregory XIII corrected this
about 1852 by dropping ten days from
the calendar and ordaining that on the
one hundredth year in three out OF
every four centuries the extra day for
leap year should not be counted. Six
teen hundred was leap year and 1000
will be one, but 200, 1900 and 1900
were not. Even this calendar is SO
seconds too fast, amounting to year
in 1923 years, so when 1000 comes
around it will have to be robbed of its
leap year day to correct this differ
ence.
The Gregorian calendar was adopted
in Catholic countries, including France,
Italy, Spain and Portugal, in 1882, and
within a short time by the Germans,
Swiss and Hungarians, but not until
1852 by England and her great colonial

SOLVE SHIPPING PROBLEM.
Hartford County Farmers Fun Truck
Service,

Service.
With unsatisfactory railroad ser
vice and charges unreasonabIy high
for transportation by motor truck, a
number OF Hartford county farmers
organized a cooperative association
to do their own hauling. The Har
ford County Rural Motortruck Route
was capitalized at $4,000, 200 shares
of stock at $25 per share being sold.
Each member is compelled to own at
least one share of stock, but no one
can own more than 20 shares.
Motor trucks are operated from Bel
Air and Churchville to Baltimore,
for hauling milk, cream and other
farm produce to the city, and food
,stuffs, seeds, salt, fertilizer, machin-
cry and supplies for the rural mer-
chants on the back trip.
AS soon as the project was well
ton was established in Baltimore for
the reception and Capitalization OF
the supplies to be returned to the
country No attempt has been made
by the association to earn dividends.
Rates are made with view to meet
ing the expenses, providing for de-
probation, and accommodating a sur
plus to be used as working capital.
At present, due to the expansion
of business, and especially to the
hauling for country stores, the Har-
ford Association operates one four
ton and one five-ton truck, which
makes daily trips to Baltimore, the
distance travelled being about 60
miles.
The Hartford Association is COM
pleting garage and repair shop at
Churchville, which also will be used
as receiving station of country
freight of the members VINO do not
live along the regular route. The
association has fulfilled the purpose
for which it was organized. 1t pro-
vides satisfactory transportation SER
vices at lower rates than the local
railroad customarily charges, while
the convenience is very, pleasing to
farmers. For the hauling of milk
and cream, which constitutes the
bulk of the business, the truck sys-
tenn provides superior facilities to
those furnished by rail, especially in
that it minimizes the damage and
loss of milk cans, which, in the in
stance of railroad transportation,
usually represents heavy outlay.
According to Maryland law the
cooperative association is not re-
CURED to pay the heavy license fee
to which private individuals who
make business of public hauling
are subject. The motor route also
releases for other more profitable
farm work the horses and men
formerly engaged in hauling pro-
duce to the market or cross-country
to the city market.
According to the experience of the
Hartford County Cooperative AS
ISOLATION the rural motor route sup
plies solution of marketing and
transportation problems for many
farming sections which are located
not more than 80 to 40 miles from
desirable city market, and which
are furnished with permanent hard
roads.

. NO HIGH RENTS HERE.
Camp Sites offered On State Re-
serves-Attractive Locations

To All.
High rents apd the profiteer have
mo- terrors for those who can take
advantage of State Forester F. w.
Besley's offer to spend their vaca-
tions on the Maryland Forest Re
serves. Nothing has gone UP be-
cause of the war, for everything is
free. These lands are now thrown
open under easy conditions to all
residents of the state, and Mr.. Bes-
ley says that this is the time to make
all reservations for the SUMMER sea-
son.
AS many know, and as a great
many do not know, the state owns
outright in Garrett County nearly
5000 acres of forest and mountain
lands. In Baltimore County, along
the Patapsco River, 1000 acres
more are owned by the state, with
an equal area, state-managed, open
for camping on the same terms as
the reserves themselves. There is
no other spot in Maryland where
beautiful, healthful surroundings
may be had for the asking, free.
For those with a weekend to
spend in the country, presuming our
camper lives in Baltimore, the Pa
tapsco Reserve will make strong
appeal. The Patapsco Reserve
borders the river between Relay
and Hollofield, and it is naturally
beautiful region. Camping sites are
readily reached by train, trolley or
automobile, and thirty minutes ride
and few cents fare are all that
any Baltimorean requires 80 enjoy It.
Several hundred sites have already
been laid out here by the Board of
Forestry. They command not only
a good view but also wood and
water. On the reserve, the Board is
represented by resident Warden,
E. G. Brince of Leicester. The State
Forester may be reached 1T his
Office, 532 N Howard Street, by
telephoning Mt. Vernon 1856, and
the local Warden by calling Cations
vile 98-R In either case, there is
no delay in granting camping sites
absolutely free to bona fide appli-
cants.
If you have a week or two at your
disposal, or live further west in the
state, the 5000 acres embraced in
the Garrett County Reservations
offer equal attractions with slight
ly larger amount of woods, noun
tains, and very real wild life. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad also
makes these places easy to reach,
Oakland and Hutton being the
proper places for detraining. From
June first to October thirty-hrst,
there is special rate from Baiti-
more. A. L. Sines of Oakland, the
locals Forest Warden is prepared to
act as guide, instructor, or landlord
to the satisfaction of all who may
take up residence there for the
summer. Drinking water, fuel, fish
ing and swimming and boating are
conveniently at hand This is the
highest part of Maryland, the most
densely wooded, and practically the
only place where ideally primitive
conditions still remind one OF those
which were once found all over
Maryland. Applications for the Gar
rett County camp sites should be
addressed to Mr.. Besley at Balti-
more. The best sites will go to
those who act now.

The Doctor Away From Home When
Most Needed.

Most Needed.
People are often very much. dis
appointed to find that their family
physician is away from home when
they most need his services. Dis
eases like pain in the stomach and
bowels, collie, diarrhoea require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proven fatal before medi-
cine could be procured or physician
summoned The right way is to
keep at hand a bottle of Chamber

No physician can prescribe a better

having it in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.
