THEALL'S AMAZING CASE
Marine Corps Colonel Receivers From
Seemingly Fatal Injuries.

The complete recovery from what
was believed to be q fatal accident
last November has restored Col. Elisha
Theall to duty at the headquarters
of the marine corps. AS secretary
of the house committee on naval af-
fairs, and later as special legal adviser
to the secretary of the navy, Colonel
Theall is probably the best known
officer Of the naval service on duty In
Washington, his acquaintance includ-
ing practically every prominent man
In public life in the last twelve years.
Colonel Theall's case will undOubted-
ly be recorded in medical circles as an
amazing one. Not only did he suffer
q compound fracture of the skull, with
other complications, when struck by
an automobile In Washington last No
vember but he had previously been re-
tired as a marine officer In 1897 and
invalided from active service. He was
restored to active duty twenty years
later, at the outbreak Of the war.
While on the retired list Colonel The
all graduated In law at Columbia uni
yersity and later acted as secretary
of the house naval committee under
Chairrnen Padgett and Butler.
Throughout the war he was stationed
at Philadelphia and Norfolk. He grad
uated from the naval academy in 1891
and transferred to the marine corps
two years later after completing two
years sea duty.

new YORK GIRL
HAS COAT FARM
Josephine Jerks Makes a Hobby
of Raising the Animals.
THEY ARE NOT fETS Only
Owner Has Made a Study OF the
Scientific Effect OF Goats Milk on
Babies and Says thousands Of Fami-
lies in City Suburbs of America
Could and Should Raise Nannies

To a SiXteen-year-old girl belongs
the credit of having established and
superintendent model goat farm for
the sole purpose of demonstrating that
1t is feasible for any private family
with Il backyard to keep a goat for its
milk yielding value and thus help solve
the growing problem of the distribu
ton Of milk in large cities. She Is
Miss Josephine J. jerks, a daughter
of William Z. jerks. a New York
broker.
Miss jerks is mere slip Of a girl.
Her interest in goats began when
she acquired one for u pet five years
ago and grew until she determined 10
make hobby of the raising of nan
MES. She is perhaps the only shep-
herdess of the kind in the country.
She has built and laid out as re-
suit of her own study and planning
model barns and pastures on portion
of her fathers 60O-acre estate, known
as Mount Kemble Farm, near Norris
town, N. ]. She owns thirty milch
goats, about twenty kids and num-
Der of imported bucks.
Made Goats a Study.
Merely having goats for pets did
not satisfy Miss jerks. AS she grew
older, she began to read about them,
at first to learn of their habits and
origin, their needs in the way of pas
turage and care during the winter
months, and finally to determine their
economic value. She read books about
goat-raising in foreign countries until
she settled in her mind that If 1t was
feasible for families to use goats milk
instead of cows milk in Switzerland,
England, Africa and India it would be
feasible in America. Her father
pampered her hobby and bought her
number of foreign goats, including
some valued at $500 each. No shep-
herdess In France or Switzerland was
prOuder of her herd than was Miss
jerks of hers.
But having become interested in
some scientific works on gOatlore she
had a more serious plan in her mind
than merely satisfying a hobby. Stories
of the lack of milk for the babies In
the congested districts of New York
had a special meaning for her. The
price of milk was always going up, she
learned, the distributors were COM
planning that because of the high
wages demanded by milk handlers and
drivers the distribution cost was ever
= soaring, and the farmers complained
that because of the regulated price 1t
did not pay to feed cows for what
little returns came from the milk.
Miss jerks, despite her youth. has
become quite scholar concerning the
scientific effect of milk on babies. She
says:

NEED MORE MONEY TO
DEPORT INSANE ALIENS
New York Official Says 29O Were
"Repatriated' During the
Last Fiscal Year.

Increased appropriations to enable
the United States immigration author
tiles to deport aliens in whom insan-
ity Is discovered. was urged here by
DIR. Spencer l.. Dawes medical exam
liner of the New York state hospital
commission.
DIR. Dawes declared that although
300 insane aliens were deported dur
Ing the last fiscal year. there are still
great number in the state who
might he deported if funds were avail
able, thus cutting down an item of ex-
penSe which Is second only to educa-
ton In New York. DR.. Dawes said that
there are $4,000 insane persons in
state institutions who cost the people
annually $11, 100000.
OF the 300 aliens deported for insan-
ity last year 147 were sent to their
home countries i'm the usual way by
the federal authorities, while 143 We're
"repatriated" by the state with the

tlOn, Or. Dawes SAID:
after securing the consent of rel

passports to his or her home country
and then give the insane person
clothes, toilet articles and new suit
case for the return trip. Under escort
or guard, we send the patient all the
way and see that he or she is safely
delivered to relatives or friends on the
other side.
Last year the state of New York
appropriated $4,000 for this purpose
alone"
DIR. Dawes said that in addition a
great deal of time and money was de-
voted to returning insane persons to
other states in which they are resi-
dents, whether citizens or aliens.

he said. i've have no difficulty In get

with Massachusetts, Ohio, Illinois.

The law provides that insane aliens
may be deported at any time provided
that legal processes are instituted with

New York Is the greatest port OF EN-
try, Dr. Dawes said, this state becomes
the dumping ground for thousands Of
