Presenl-day German taxicabs were
not primarily designed to stimulate
the liver; but after hitting few rough
spots one is left with distinct Inn
preston that they exist solely to shake
up the internal organs. writes Ken
meth l.. Roberts in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
As for their meters. they can be read
properly only with the assistance Of
slide rule and table of logarithms.
Each meter possesses seven clocks
one for the passenger. one for extra
passengers. one for luggage. one for
waiting. one for the luxury tax. one
for the tax on capital and one for good
luck. All the clocks work buslly all
the time-even the one for waiting.
This is probably because the passen-
ger. due to the hard tires. is either
waiting to bounce up or to fall back
after bump during the entire ride.
After determining the amount regis
tered by each clock at the end of a
ride. these sums are added together
and multiplied by four.

GOVERNOR NEFF AIS LEGION
Chief Executive Of Texas Urges All
EIigibes to Becor.- Members
of the OreaI.z ation.

Governor Pat Ne.l of Texas has rec
ogniZed the iInpGi lance of the Ameri-
can Legion's e.loit to extend its in
fluence in that safe by giving an nm
qualified endo s~.nent of the member
ship campaigs now under way.
"Oflcials at the department OF
Texas. Anne ian Legion. the organiza-
ton which stands as a living perpetu-
atlDn of the spirit of the American
soldier during the World war, are now
making an especial effort to draw
more ex-service men into their ranks
said Governor Neff.
THE record set by the men who
form the department of Texas, during
that period preceding November IL,
1913, and the principles advocated by
these men since they have welded
themselves into the American Legion"
he continued. leads me to suggest that
the public would be serving its own
ends. as well as those Of the American
Legion by lending active support to
the membership campaign the latter
has launched. The former service
man who has not affiliated with the
American Legion should need no one
to poin: out the advantage to be .le-
rived by him and his country through
his support of this organization but
in the rush of modern life. some things
are overlooked and those who have not
the privilege OF eligibility for the
American Legion may aid by calling
this to the attention of their acquaint-
anees who have been in the service"

garding the reported sale of the paint
ing of st. Veronica. the work of Theo-
tocopuli. by the clerical authorities of

The monastery offered to sell the
work to the Spanish government. but
1t did not possess sufficient funds to
purchase 1t, and thereupon the paint

There is considerable agitation In

Daughter ON Honeymoon.

Meantime Mrs. Kate Stevens Pagan.
the 18-year-old daughter Of the eccentric
millionaire. who already Is assured OF
a large fortune from her grandfather,
Calvin Stevens. but whose share In her
fathers estate will be considerable
whether a will is found or not, continues
on her honeymoon in New England.
Miss Stevens eloped a week ago with
Richard Fagan. Dartmouth College
student. son of William r. Pagan. a
stock broker, with offices at the Wal
eorf. The couple were said last night
to be at the Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston.
Mrs. Jessie Stevens Of 1915 Bay Twen-
ty-seventn street, Bensonhurst. widow OF
Mr.. Stevens and mother of Mrs. Fagan,
was one of those who insisted that her
husband did not leave will. She re-
fused to listen to the reasons some of
her husbands intimate friends have adj
vanced for the theory that a will exists
somewhere.
Mrs. Stevens was found In the old
Bensonhurst home yesterday afternoon.
She was reluctant to talk about the CAGE
at first. and later refused to say any
thing about her own history before she
married Mr. Stevens nineteen years ago.
When a reporter seeking to identify a
picture OF her daughter called at the
Bensonhurst home Mrs. Stevens sought
TO answer questions without opening the
door. She asked the reporter to push
the picture under the door, but after a
short parley she invited the reporter in.
Mrs. Stevens is perhaps 45 years old.
but looks younger. She is a trile under
medium height, with wavy brown hair
and large, inquisitive blue eyes
I'VE used to have plenty of servants" ]"
she said. but not lately, you know
When asked whether any trace had
been found of Mr.. Stevens's reputed will
Mrs. Stevens replied that there had not
and that the fact did not surprise her
because she didn't believe ne had made
any. Reports had appeared that Mr.
Stevens kept a furnished room in the
Grand Hotel, Hoboken. and another in
his old office building in Broad street
This led the reporter to ask IL Mrs.
Stevens had been estranged from her
husband.
Il don't know what you would call
IT," she said. You see, Mr.. Stevens
wanted TO live his own life. He had a
strong will and | could do nothing with

him. He was in poor health and much
of the time on a diet. He had some odd
ideas. didn't believe in rich foods-was
almost vegetarian"
Mrs. Stevens explained why her hus-
band kept his sleeping room in his Broad
street office. and in doing so threw side
lights on the character Of the man who
has been called ''the Hermit OF Wall
Street"
II remember when he had been work
ing on his accounts here at home," Mrs.
Stevens said. HE had a lad cough
and / used TO come down and plead with
him to stop work. He used to WORK
late. sometimes all night. One time he
was concerned because he was a penny

suade him to retire, but he would not

Mrs. Stevens refused to discuss her
marriage to Mr.. Stevens. except to say
that she was a widow when she mar

could not be confirmed by any mem
ber of the household. was that Mrs.
Stevens formerly was Mrs. John Van
elect. and that her first husband had
been much less fortunately equipped in
worldly goods than was her second.
In this connection friends of Mr.
Stevens recalled that the daughter
Kate, now Mrs. Pagan. was a young
woman of undeniable attractions. but
