Women Smokers "Under Cover. |.

The mystery Of where women Gig
arctic smokers obtain their supply is
solved, in part at least, by an up
town druggist who was asked why
nearly all such stores keep their to-
sbacco stands in inconspicuous places,
says. the New York Sun. He said the
reason for doing so is because the
druggists cater to women smokers, and
this class is rather tin!d about pur-
chasing in the open. The women. 1t
seems prefer to glide back to some out
of-theway corner, where nobody will
see them, OF, course. there are ex-
,ceptions.3 ~

| makes his preparations accordingly.
Then when the visitors arrive at his
abode he pretends to be immensely
astonished, and says he never dreamed
of such visitation; but the fact that
he is wearing his Sunday shirt, and
has his hair parted in the middle,
gives the lie to all his protestations.
There is no serious objection to a
surprise party when the victim is
warned in advance, although, as have
shown, it encourages skullduggery and
hypocrisy, for no man can be thor
oughly honest who. pretends amaze
ment over visit he has been plan
ming for.
But the genuine surprise party is
an outrage, and people who resort to
it should be severely punished. There's,
nothing more humiliating to : self
respecting man than to have whole
neighborhood blow into his dwelling
when he isn't looking for 1t.

slouchy for anything.
I Some months ago my wife casually
remarked to a neighbor that my birth
day would occur on the following
Wednesday, and that neighbor, being
confirmed busybody, got busy and
organized surprise party. I never
received the faintest hint of the
scheduled catastrophe, and on the
evening of my birthday was lying on
the floor of the sitting room, with
about hundred newspapers around
me. My wife was wearing an old
wrapper, and was popping corn on the
kitchen stove. There was nobody else
in the house, and we had no idea WISH
tors would come, for it was bad
night.
"About eight o'clock, just when I
was thinking of going to bed, there
was a knock at the front door. NY
wife thought it was some boy on an
GRAND so she went to the door with a
stovehook in one hand, and the corn
pepper in the other, and she gave
Shrek of anguish when she saw the
mass meeting on the front porch. The
minute the door was open all those
delegates pushed themselves in, smil-
Ing and giggling as though they were
doing something mighty funny.
"Our house hadn't been In such. dig
order in twenty years. It looked as
though couple of amateur teams had
been playing basketball in it. My
wife and began apologizing and ex-
planning, as people will do under such
conditions, although they know that
nobody will believe what they say;
the guests assured us that it was all
right, but could see them squirting
around and making mental notes for
| future reference. and inside Of week
the story was all over town that our
house was a fright, and no respectable
COW could live in it.
"That was the most miserable even
ing ever spent, my friends, and I
have never forgiven the people who
took part in that uprising. And you
may be sure I'll never treat another
man as / was treated"

tuberculosis Facts from
State Veterinarian

OtdtS VeCcTlndTlan
The general symptoms Of the
disease hold true in live stock as in
mankind or the reverse.
1t has increased it's victims by
leaps and. bounds. Since 1908,
II, 1925 head of cattle. were
slaughtered under government SUI
pervision and 68,395 head were
diseased. In 1920, with few more
cattle slaughtered the number of
diseased had Increased to over
100000.
In hogs 35,1l3,077 were slaugh-
tered in 1908 with 1929 head
diseased. In 1920 this had in
creased to over four million dis
eased hogs while very few more
were slaughtered. This is indeed
an alarming condition and we must
face it.
On the farms from which these
animals came, some of the re-
naming cattle and hog sare prob
ably affected with tuberculosis, OF
will be if allowed to remain there a
sufficient time. Knowing this
danger the state and federal Off
Gals, when the identity of the an
lmals can be established, trace
back as many of the shipments of
the diseased animals as possible,
and through the cooperation of the
owner, try to exterminate the dis
ease from that farm.
Herds are tested free of charge
under the Federal Accredited Herd
Plan, in which all the states are
cooperating. The owners are re-
=
imbursed for all reactors found.
To get your herd tested you
must sign an agreement. This
may be secured from the county
agent or the local veterinarian.
Three tests are recognized, the
simultaneous or thermal, the in
tradermal or skin test, and the.
ophthalmic or eye test. This one
is used with one of the others as. q
check test.
The simultaneous test. or Their
NAL familiar to most people; the
intradermal is not so we'll kr5wl3,
is very efficient and takes rs
time; does not affect the milk
flow and is not influenced, by
drinking, heat or cold. The aver
age herd can be injected in about
an hour and observation takes less
time, in the intervening two days
the herd may run at pasture,
handled as they are at other times.
Before starting the test the ami
mails are appraised at their actual
cash value, or what they can be
sold for. The reactols are all
tagged and branded, may be
shipped to any packing center hav-
ing government meat inspection.
All animals are identified to the in
spectors on the killing floors, who
dispose of the animals and the
packers pay according to this dis
position. This amount is sub
tracted from the appraisal value
and the state and government each
pay third OF a difference as for
example on SIS value. the packer
may pay $l5 for the carcass, this
leaves a difference of $50, a third
of which is $40, which amount the
state and government each will
pay you. This makes $40 and the
SIS from the packer makes $50
you would receive for the animal.
When one considers that the COW
might have given the disease to
your children, the calves, pigs or
chickens; its value is really very
little but is real menace to all.
On a registered thoroughbred
the state will pay as high as $50
and the government as high as $50
according to the appraised value.

LORENZ SECRETARY

clude posing as a special representa-
tive from Roumania, appearing in the
gorgeous uniform of a Turkish officer
and as posing as a United States naval
officer. In the past, the police said, he
has favored the names of Ethan Allen
Weinberg and Royale St. Cyr.
He served as secretary to the noted
physician for just a week, and during
that time he had charge of the making
OF engagements for the doctor and the
general perintendency of his work
among the afflicted
Tip Started Inquiry.
Suspicion was first directed to Vein
berg through a telephone tip" to DR..
Henry w. Frauenthal Of the Hospital
for Determines and Joint Diseases.
This began the investigation that end
ed when the secretary was brought
under police escort to the health de-
partment building and questioned by
Health Commissioner DIR. Royal S.
Copeland.
When DIR. Lorenz landed, DIR. Frau
enthal said, he was met by Weyman,
as he called himself, and in the name
of the health commissioner welcomed
him to New York city He told DIR.
Lorenz then and later repeated to DR..
Frauenthal that he had been sent to
meet the Vienna surgeon as the per-
sonal representative of the health COM
missioner. He was attentive and use
full, and DR.. Lorenz made him his
American secretary, but DIR. Copeland
repudiated him.
Had Long Career.
Weinberg was raised in the Will
liamsburg section of BROOKLYN One
OF his first exploits was to have him
self dined as the United States consul
to Morocco and his next appearance
was as a Bulgarian lieutenant In 1911
he was arrested charged with stealing
a camera from a department store. For
this offense he received a suspended
sentence. On one occasion he is said
to have been received by a supreme
court justice and have been given a
seat of honor beside the justice on the
bench.
AS lieutenant Commander Ethan
Allen Weinberg, consul general for
Roumania, he visited our fleet in the
North river and there might have been
saluted but for a detective who recog-
nized the adventurer.
One of his feats was the staging of
dinner at a hotel in May, 1915, an
event rendered by the lieutenant com
mander" to the vice president of San
Salvador. He next blossomed out as
Lieut. St. Cyr of the aviation service"
and he sent notices to the newspapers
that he had married an actress, but
they were going to get a divorce and
then adopt each other.

BRAIN TEASERS OF
OLD SCHOOL GONE
MODERN ARITHMETIC PROB
LENS HAVE APPLICATION
TO REAL AFFAIRS OF LIFE.

The teaching of arithmetic, like 9TH
er methods of instruction, has changed
since the time of the old school house.
house.
The problems over which Johnny
and Mary Jane knit their brow today
are practical rather than theoretical,
according to a we'll known local edu-
Gator. Not at all like those of their
parents in the old days when favor
lite problem, taken from an old text
book, was:
In the midst of a meadow,
Well stored with grass,
| have taken just two acres
To tether my ass.
Then how long must the cord be
That feed all around,
He mayn't Craze less or more
Than two acres of ground.
Old Problems Gone.
Gone, too, are such problems as the
following once used to harass the
youth
Mary's mother gave her forty apples
to divide among her playmates. She
gave each one two and twoninths ap-
pies How many playmates had she'
There are nine nuts in d pint. How
many pints in pile of 6,789, 582 nuts?
Mrs. Smith is three-fourths as old as
Mr.. Smith, who is 48 years old. Their
daughter Alice is four-ninths as old as
her mother. How old is Alice?
Such problems, modern educators
point out, could occur in real life only
in an insane asylum.
Here is another gem from the old
books, illustrating, if nothing else, the
perfect accord of man and wife. A
man six feet weighs Us pounds. How
tall is his wife, who weighs 125 pounds
and is of similar build?
Concrete Examples Used.
Now problems are given that boys
will understand. In this way a higher
standard is set, for it gives the child
not only an arithmetiCal knowledge,
but also applies his arithmetic to sit
uations such as life may offer in disable
and reasonable ways. He comes to es-
TEEN arithmetic not only as good eX-
ercise for the mind, but also as a sub
stantial aid in LIES work.
There are, of course, still survivals
of the old type of problems in arith-
metic, but in the main they are CIV
ing way to concrete examples drawn
from mathematical computations in
real life.
