Park Reservoir and within one block
of the Jerome elevated extension of the
Lexington Avenue subway and Sixth
and Ninth Avenue elevated railroads.
Mr.. Clafin was az snrewd in the Sc
lection CT this homestead site as he
was in the purchase Of merchandise.
The Bronx at that time was q part OF
the distant scene," and accessible only
by the coach of earlier days or by the
New York Central Railroad.
In fact the ClaAin estate section
during the Civil War period and for
many years thereafter was more in
accessible from the heart of Manhat-
tan than are to-day many Of the resi-
Dental sections of northerly West
chester. In spite of that fact Mr..
Clafin visualized the future and fore
saw the day when his property would
DE immensely augmented in value by
the inauguration OF rapid transit and
the influx OF huge Bronx population.
This is the property which is to be
sold next Tuesday, September %, at
the Real Estate Exchange Salesroom.

compare the pre-war and postwar
prices Of the Civil War and the world

decision Of the Clanin heirs to sell at
the market that the sons Of the late
II. B. Clafin arc continuing his policy
Of treating real estate as merchandise.
Doubtless after the Claflin sale
tales of quick profit will be heard, as
in the case Of other sales held recently
in the public salesrooms. An interest

leaked out yesterday. when it was

Poetical Inspiration.

It Is not about great events that
great novels are written. The same
Is true of great poems. Not ''the Is
decisive battles of the world! but
such relatively untmportant ones as
Balaklava. Ivry. Hohenlln sen and Blen'
helm have inspired the poets. Wa
terlob was considered to be the
greatest battle of modern times. but
the lines Byron inserted in "Childe
Harold" constitute the only memora-
BILE poem ever written about 1t. The
only ballad Of the Civil war, which
became fixed forever in peoples minds,
related to no great battle but to Stone
wall Jackson's march through the lit
tie town Of Frederick.
The great events are peaks In the
mountain ranges Of time, that leave
little to the imagination. Literature
thrives by the streams of legend and
glory that run down from them and
by the lanes and roads of emotion,
aspiration, passion and endeavor that
lead up to them. The side lights and
side issues and everyday events make
literature, as they make life itself.

MATTERS THAT ARE APART
Wooer Discovered That Business
Methods and lovemakIna Are
Things That viii Not Mix.

There was no sentiment about the
young man. His had been d business
training, and he carried business meth
DDS into his social life.
"Will you be my wife7' he asked,
bluntly.
The girl looked startled.
"I.rn not much of lover" he added,
but ] guess I'll make a pretty good
husband. I might give you a whole lot
Of soft talk. but what's the use? Mar
rage is a contract and should be set
tied on a business basis. When !
want anything in business 90 after It
bluntly. I generally know what !
want, too, and I want you"
She gdsped. but presently regained
her composure.
Fortunately" she said, I've had q
little business training myself, 50 we
can discuss this proposed contract
properly and dispassionately."
"I'm glad to find you SO sensible"
he told her.
II can give you nothing better than
second option" she said.
"Whatw he exclaimed.
II might tell you that am conscious
of the honor you do me, but that am
already engaged" she explained.
'"That, with suggestion that it Is
very sudden. would be the sentimental
way, but I will merely say that the
first option is already taken"
''Then there Is no hopper"
"How foolish" she commented. "As
business man You ought to know that
a first option does not necessarily
mean a closed contract. If you don't
want to take a chance on second OPP
ton, say so; If you do, I'll drop you
line If find myself on the matrimonial
market again"
'That's sort of cold-blooded." he
complained.
'That's business" she asserted.
IL don't believe like business az
well as thought did," he remarked.
"Very likely" she returned.
I'D rather have first option"
"A first option never has been and
never will be secured by business
methods. "-Brooklyn Eagle. ~.

KEEPING BOYS HAPPY e.
WHILE MARKING r|ME''
knights Of Columbus and Other
War Service 0rganiza-
tons on Job.

As the big American army In France
awaits the welcome order to embark
on its homeward journey the problem
Of morale grows apace. To keep the
boys in even semblance Of content
ment while marking time" either. in
the army Of occupation In Germany
or In camps throughout France is the
present, big undertaking Of all war serv-
Ice organizations. 1t Is now, as never
before since America entered the war,
that every effort is being put forth by
those who have been charged with the
duty OF disbursing the big fund OF
,Ameican dollars contributed by the
home folk.
The Knights Of Columbus, like all
other organizations, Is using every
man and every dollar to its fullest Ca
pacity. In many sections Of the coun-
try little is known Of the activity Of
the X. Of G. in France. This has
been due largely to the fact that more
attention has been paid to actual en-
deavor than to telling about it.
|, Briefly, the advent Of the knights OF
Columbus into the big things of this
war was almost accidental, yet In
actual result, its endeavors have borne
fruit consistent with long prepare
ton.
A group of men was sent with the
pioneer troops to France. Chaplains
were furnished. OF the work Of these
men much has been said and written.
Many Of them have been mentioned in
official orders for bravery, several
were severely wounded, and some have
been decorated. -
As the American public responded
with generous enthusiasm to the gen
eral call for funds to provide comfort
for the men overseas, the K. Of G..
work was broadened. Everywhere, at
the very front line trenches, secretaries
were present to supply absolutely free,
chocolate. cigarettes. hot refreshment
anc moral encouragement. The indi-
vidual gifts Of the organization during
the last two months Of the fighting
totaled over sA000,000. -.
When the armistice was signed the
work did not cease. Rather it has in
creased until today the personnel In
France Is INADEQUATE to meet the de-
mand upon its facilities. u.s..

STAND ON SITE OF TRAGEDY
Near Scene Of the Deportation
Of the Acadians.

Whoever has read Longfellow's
poem, ''Evangeline," will be interested
in visiting the land of Evangeline, the
Annapolis valley In Nova Scotia, Can
ada and the country about Wolfvllle,
which Is the center. Grand Pre-, the
little village which was the scene Of
the deportation Of the Acadians' In
1855, Is only a short distance from
Wolfvillc, but little is left OF the vii
lage where the tragedy told Of by the
poet was enacted. The chief object OF
interest in what was once Grand Pre-.
are the mammoth, gnarled ancient will
low trees, known as Evangeline's viii.
lows. which stand a conspicuous group,
amid the fertile green meadows and
serve as windbreak. They show
undoubtedly planted by the French Ca
nadians, for the Acadinns invariably
planted willows wherever they settled.
and these trees are perpetual memo
rails Of them. Beside the willows,
there may be seen at the site Of Grand
Pre- the old well, portions of the foun.
uations of the church Of st. Charles.
and some stones that mark the site Of
the priests house. These willow trees
are always visited by tourists, and al
though history does not exactly tally
with the poets account Of the depOrta'
tions Of the Acadians, and though there
may be division Of opinion as to the
justice of the act by the English in the
deportation of the Acadians, the old
willows tell no tales but stand, sturdy
and strong. and are slightly landmarks
still hale and vigorous.

Insects in Amber.

red amber from Burma recently pre-

Is unusually rich in insects. including,
according to Prof. T. D. A. Cockereii,
who has examined the material, 81
new species, of which five are types of
new genera. Most of these are found

BIG MEN MEET TO SOLVE
FOREIGN TRADE ITEMS
(By United Press.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 24.-Ameri-
cas- industrial brains. showing aside
the gunmaker's blue prints, went in
session here today to solve the peace
time foreign trade problem.
Hundreds of the nations manu-
facturers, representing every indus
try. gathered under the banner OF
the National Foreign Trade Council
They will plan to forge bridges and
farm implements instead of guns;
out wool into clothes for workers In
stead of uniforms for fighting men.
1t is the sixth annual foreign
trade convention. According to
chairman James A. Farrell, director
OF the United States Steel corpora
ton, it's work is far more important
than any Of the others.
1.-The abrupt termination of the
war in Europe" said Farrell, has
brought the United States suddenly
iFace to face with certain questions
'of grave concern to American foreign
trade and industry.
Nov, as never before, the United
States, must rely upon foreign trade
to make certain full employment of
labor and to provide investment OF
capital; to stabilize industry and
prevent disturbance of domestic con-
ditions; to insure the permanent re-
,tention and operation of our rev
merchant vessels under the Ameri-
can flag; to maintain prosperity
among the American producers and
10 forestall any rerogression among
the high standards that have been
achieved"
The purposes of the convention
are:
TO consider needs Of American
ofreign trade enterprises in the post
war emergency.
To assist in dewising means and
methods to enable American foreign
trade to meet the conditions which
IL faces.
To arouse American manufacture
ers, farmers, merchants, laborers,
bankers, educators, railway and
steamship men to the imperative
necessity Of bending their energies
70 the prompt solution Of these prob
TENS.
Farrell said, the world war and
Americas participation in it, had
bettered the equipment of the Ameri-
can people for foreign trade. He
based this on construction Of the new
merchant marine, and recommended
a sound national maritime policy as
the key to success.
Sessions will continue through to-
morrow and Saturday.
