Special Despatch to TIE New York HERALD.
LAKEWOOD. \. j.. March 20.-It was
with unaffected pleasure that Alexander
and Guy, sons of Mrs. James A. Still
man. who is stopping at the Laurel in
the Pines Hotel, faced a battery Of
cameras to-day Their mother and their
nurse have shielded them from photog-
raphers. who have been on their trail
ever since 1t was learned that the wife
OF the president of the National City
Bank. who is suing for divorce and is
defending counter barrage OF charges,
was secluded in the MOTEL.
This morning. however Mrs Stillman
sent word that she would let her two
boys be photographed and that she
would pose for the photographers after
ward.
The two boys were taken in numerous
poses near the tennis courts at the back
OF wing of the hotel. In the sand pile
and one the gravel walks They proved
delightful subjects. winning high praise
from the camera men. Alexander. who
IS 3, and Guy. who is the twenty-eight
months old baby about whose parentage
a question has been raised by Mr. Still
iran. arrived just before noon with their
nurse. The brothers bear striking re-
scmblance to each other. Their eyes are
the same color and have the same ex-
preston, and their mouths are alike.
The Older boy has chestnut hair and the
baby's is blond
Once when Guys stockings had
slipped loose from their mornings
Alec" as he calls his brother. called
TO the photographers to halt while he
fastened up the unruiy apparel. Guy
kissed ALEC" affectionately during the
performance of this brotherly service.
The hotel windows overlooking the
tennis courts We're filled with curious
spectators while the children were pos
ing for the pictures. 1t Is the first time
that the boys have been permitted to
appear in public in several days. When
they go automobiling with their nurse
they leave by an inconspicuous exit and
they enter the hotel practically un.
noticed. Mrs. Stillman has ordered the
automobile which they use while In
Lakewood to drive to the left entrance
which cannot be seen from the main
driveway. The children. however
seemed to enjoy to-day's relaxation OF
rules and were decidedly friendly.
Early risers at the hotel get a glimpse
of the brothers when they come down &c
the Office for the o'clock morning
mail. Guy insists upon asking the clerk
for 1t and carrying ii to his mothers
apartment, on the third floor of the left
wing.
While the children were at luncheon
Mrs. Stillman left the hotel She was
away most of the afternoon. She wore
a white sport skirt and sweater and a
small French gray hat.

painter.
Yes, she talks 50 much" said Miss
Leeds's woman friend. Lord knows,
I've told her to hold her tongue II she
hopes to marry him."
The woman who thus sought to muffie
Miss Leeds's tongue is in Florida
whether with Miss Leeds could not be
learned yesterday.
BY no means the least interesting
phase of the conflict between Mr.. and
Mrs. Stillman is the legal effect the
pending divorce actions will have upon
the two babies involved--Guy Stillman
and jay Leeds. From the Supreme
Court library yesterday the law was
found covering the question of legiti-
macy of children and the rights OF chill
dren, whether legitimate or iliegitimate,
to participate in family wealth.
The following extracts OF the peril
rent laws speak for themselves:
The civil and canon law In contra
distinction TO the common law allowed
the subsequent marriage of the parents
to legitimat e previously born issue. Fol-
lowing this ruiz large majority OF
the United States have abrogated the
common law doctrine and enacted that
a subsequent intermarriage of the par
ents, accompanied by an acknowledge
ment Of paternity on the part OF the
father. shall legitimate previous issue.
Burden of Proof.-Where the cir
cumstances are such as to give rise
TO a presumption of legitimacy. those
who assume the fact of illegitimacy
have cast on them the burden Of estab-
fishing it,
Effect Of Legitimation.-In the alb
sence OF restrictions in the statute
legitimation places an illegitimate child,
as far as Unbeatable blood is concerned
on the same footing as offspring born
in lawful wedlock. This status OF the
child will obtain everywhere. and no
act or statement of the father or mother
can thereafter change it,"
THE general current Of modern au-
thority favors the doctrine that where
an illegitimate child has been legit-
mated such legitimacy follows the child
wherever it may go and entities 1t to
all the rights following from such
status. including the right to inherit

At the outbreak OF the war in Europe
Mr.. McAree enlisted as lieutenant and

KNOWLEDGE

The first step to knowledge is to
know that we are ignOrant.-Cecil.
The desire for knowledge, like the
thirst Of riches, increases ever with
the acquisition Of it.-Steine.
Mere knowledge Is comparatively
worthless unless digested into practi-
cal wisdom and common sense as ap-
piled to the affairs Of life.-Tryon
Edwards.
The seeds Of knowledge must be
planted in solitude, but must be culti-
waited in public.-Johnson.
It Is wise to get knowledge and
learning from every source-frOm n
sot, pot, fool, a winter mitten, or
an old slipper.-Rabelais.
"Knowledge," says Bacon, "is pow
err" but mere knowledge is not power;
1t Is only possibility. Action Is pow
er; and its highest manifestation Is
when it Is directed by knowledge

BURIED TREASURE NOT FOUND

Expedition in Search Of Gold Booty In
Pinaki Fails.
Stolen gold plate, ingOts and jewels
believed buried on the South Sea island
Of Pinaki, in the Paumotu group, near
!napeete, Tahiti, evidently have not
been found. according to word received
at Papeete.
An expedition organized to 60 to
Pinaki to get the treasure has, after
several weeks stay, returned to Pa
peete empty-handed. While there are
reports that the location has been
established and another expedition
With diving apparatus will return to
the island, opinion is that nothing will
come of it.
The story Of the buried gold was one
Of many of its kind. 1t was said the
treasure was stolen half century ago
from Peruvian church, carried
across the Pacific and hidden on the
island. Some years ago, the reports
say, an aged sailor, one of the original
robbers, made known the location Of
the valuables just before he died in

,|!TAM|NES IN MILK and
EGGS DEPEND UPON FEED.
Not Safe to Assume All Eggs
and All Milk Are UnfailIng
Sources of Vitamines.

It is not safe to assume that all
milk and all eggs are satisfactory un-
failing sources of vitamines. Prof. ].
S. Hughes, j. B. Fitch and H. w. Cave
of the Kansas State Agricultural col
iege declared at the American Chemi-
cal society meeting in New York that
the vitamine content of milk or egg :
is determined largely by the quantity
Of vitamines In the food given the
cows Or hens producing the milk or
eggs.
They found that, although cow re-
ceiving dry feed low in vitapines may
give fairly abundant supply of milk,
it is Of such poor quality that if it Is
fed to her calves they will become
blind and die
In other experiments they discovered
that eggs of low vitamine content laid
by hens fed on low-vitamine food pro-
duce chicks that are not strong and
vigorous. This fact, rather than the
commonly blamed methods of incuba5
ton, may account for a large portion
of the annual loss of half the eggs that
the poultryman sets each year. Prob
ably 3OO,OOO,OOO eggs out of the 6OO,-
100000 set each year in this country
fail to produce strong chicks. and this
represents a loss Of over $12,OOO,OOO
a year.
These results indicate that as a rule
the animal organism does not synthe-
size vitamines, but must obtain them
from its food. If this is generally true,
as seems probable from the expert
ments reported, it will not always be
sufficient that the mother Is nursing
her baby, but she must be sure that
she is obtaining sufficient vitamine-
containing foods.
In the milk experiments it was found
that the water-soluble or anti-neuritic
vitamines and the fat-soluble vita
mines were those that were lacking,
but that the anti-scorbutic vitamine
content was sufficient.
