Found-A millionaire who gets up at
five in the morning, works on farm
all day and goes to bed with the birds.
He wears overalls and a slouch hat,
milks the cows, hoes potatoes and
feeds the hens at an hour when many
a poorer fellow-being is sleeping.
The millionaire farmer is Howard
Parmenter of Wayland, Mass, who
inherited the fortune of the late John
athan Parmenter, original "overall
millionaire" Farmer Parmenter is not
gentleman farmer" by any means. He
works harder than any of his farm
hands and is proud of it.
'Its worth more than money to me
to work hard, eat plenty and go to
bed at sunset Tell the city people
to come out and learn how to live"

CLAIMS TO LEAD x-RAY WORLD
Bellevue Hospital, New York, Takes
$1,000 Pictures in 1920; Use
% Rooms.

New York.-Bellevue hospital claims
to have the largest X-ray department
in the world, occupying twenty-five
rooms.
Very soon another room will be add
ed to the department, to be used ex-
clusively for treatment of cancer. Prof.
I. Seth Hirsch, head of the X-ray
laboratories Of Bellevue, Is at present
In Europe studying the methods of
treatment of the disease there.
Recently there have been invented
in Germany two X-ray machines for
treating cancer.
Fifteen years ago all the work was
done in two rooms, when only in ex-
treme cases was the X-ray used. No
other medical institution in the world
has taken so many X-ray pictures.
The first year of its installation
something like 400 pictures were
taken. Each year thereafter the num-
Der increased, and during 1920 over
$4,000 pictures were taken of patients.

PILOTS DENY CHARGES PEI
Accusations Against Aerial Mail
Men Are Disproved.
accidents to Planes Due to Causes
Beyond Control Of Executive and
Mechanical Forces.

Chicago.-The Chicago members Of
the Air Mail Pilots Association of
America have issued a formal state
ment in reply to charges against the
officials and others connected with the
aerial mail field near haywood, III.
In this the pilots fatty deny the
accusations made by exploit G. G.
Eversole, who asserted the deaths of
several pilots and mechanics were
due to criminal negligence and in
efficiency of the executives and per-
sonnet of the haywood field. To
disprove this they give a detailed
statement of the fatal accidents that
have occurred to planes from that field,
showing they were due to causes be-
yond the control of the executive and
mechanical forces.
"The haywood field" say the
pilots, "has always possessed an ex-
cellent reputation among the pilots Of
the association from coast to coast
for keeping its ships in the best pos
sible condition under all circumstances
and for fair and conscientious ex-
ecutives who have on every occasion
permitted them to use their own judg-
ment as to when and how to get the
mail through. That their methods
were successful is attested to by the
fact that this field, now SO much under
discussion, maintained an average Of
SO per cent throughout the winter
just past, which. due to frequent fogs
was the worst in the experience of the
pilots.
'The pilots of this association fly
ing from Chicago wish to express their
appreciation of the fact that the ex-
ecutives of the field have never urged
them in any way to leave the field
against their own better judgment"
The statement concludes with
summary of the record made by Ever
sole wlsile in the air mail service,
which, the pilots hold, explains the
fact that he is no longer in the
service.

SEER NAVY STUDENTS
Marine Corps Is Authorized Ia
Assist in ReCuiting.
Stations VIII Accept Enllstments fer
Midshipmen at the Annapolis
Academy

WashingtOn.-Y oungsters between
the ages of eighteen and nineteen
years, with ambitions to become mid
shipmen at the United States Naval
academy, now will be accepted for en-
listment at all marine corps recruiting
stations
One hundred enlisted men are ap-
pointed to the Naval academy each
year, after a competitive examination
given enlisted men of the navy and
marine corps. They must not be more
than twenty years of age on April l
of the year 1t is desired to enter, and
must have been in the service at least
one year by August 10 of that year.
Adhering to its policy of rewarding
meritorious members of its enlisted
personnel with commissions. the ma
rine corps will open an officers train
ing school in or near Washington this
summer TO fill over a hundred vacan-
cies in the commissioned personnel Of
the corps.
During the war more than 800 en-
listed men were commissioned in this
country and France The highest
rank so far attained by an enlisted
man who received his commission as
a reward for meritorious service is
that of senior colonel.
The order recently issued by the
major general commandant specifies
that no noncommissioned officer will
be considered for such advancement
who shall have had less than one
years service in the army, navy or
marine corps, of which not less than
six months shall have been in the ma
rine corps. Only men between the
ages of twenty-one and twenty-seven
years will be considered.

PERIL IN HOUSE FLY
Is Allowed to Spread Bacteria
Over Food Supplies.
Duty Of Every Community to Spend
Money in Warfare Against This
Enemy Of Mankind.

Washington, D. C.-"The danger of
the typhoid or house fly in the car
riage of disease has been abundantly
demonstrated, and yet it is allowed
to breed unrestricted all over the
United States; it is allowed to enter
freely the houses of the great major
ity of our people; 1t is allowed to
spread bacteria freely over our food
supplies in the markets and in the
kitchens and dining rooms of private
houses
Thus writes DR.. L. o. Howard in
communication to the National Geo
graphic society. He continues:
Even if the typhoid or house fly
were a creature difficult to destroy.
the general failure on the part of com
munities to make any efforts what
ever to reduce it's numbers could
properly be termed criminal neglect;
but, since it Is comparatively an easy
matter to do away with the plague
of flies, this neglect becomes an evi-
dence of ignorance or Of careless
ness in regard to disease-producing
filth which to the informed mind con-
stitutes a serious blot on civilized
methods of life.
IF we allow the accumulation of
filth we will have house flies, and If
we do not allow it to accumulate we
will have no house flies. With the
careful collection of garbage in cans
and the removal of the contents at
more frequent intervals than ten days.
and with the proper regulation of
abattoirs, and more particularly with
the proper regulation of stables In
which horses are kept, the typhoid
fly will become a rare species.
1--WE have shown that the typhoid or
house fly may carry typhoid fever,
Asiatic cholera, dysentery. cholera
morbus and other intestinal diseases;
it may carry the bacilli of tuberculosis
and certain eye diseases; 1t is every
where present, and it is disposed of
with comparative ease. 1t is the duty
of every individual to guard SO far as
possible against the occurrence of flies
upon his premises. 1t is the duty Of
every community, through it's board of
health, to spend money In the warfare
against this enemy of mankind. This
duty is as pronounced as though the
community were attacked by bands Of
rayenous wolves"

PREPARE FOR RUSH TO YUKON
Hundreds Are Expected to Seek New
Oil Fields in the Mackenzie
River Valley.

Edmonton, Alta.-Steamboat COM
panies operating on the rivers that
flow toward the Arctic from here are
ready for the hundreds expected to
travel north this spring to the newly
discovered oil fields at Fort Norman,
in the Mackenzie river valley of north
western Canada.
Although some believe the move
ment will assume the size of an early
gold field rush, the steamboat COM
panies have yet received no indications
that a stampede is about to take place.
1t is certain, however, that travel
toward Fort Normal will be heavier
than ever this year. The three trans
portation companies can handle 5000
men and their outfits, both ways, dur
ing the open months. Some predict
only about 1000 will make the trip.
Every person going to the oil coun-
try must have a round-trip ticket, the
Royal Canadian mounted police have
announced.

tired broker and millionaire, was
arraigned in Mount Vernon's court of
Special Sessions, charged with va
grancy and carried ON the police blot
ter as having no home.
1t was shown she had been raised

been travelling in Europe. Recently
the young woman decided to strike
out for herself and came to Mount
Vernon.
Mrs. J. S. Wood, probation officer of
Mount Vernon, observed that Miss
Davis did not work and thereupon sug-
gested the police investigate the case.
The investigation showed that her
money was all gone and that her ia
ther had failed to send her regular
remittance.
Miss Davis said If the court would
free her she would go back to her
aunt in Plattsburg. She was taken
at her word.

Harvard Graduate Is Engaged
for Lonesome Job.
Private Philanthropy In Which New
York Millionaire Has Been
Engaged for Years.

New York.-Edward Hatch, Jr., who
owns -Four Brothers island, near
Burlington Vt, a rugged rock that
has, become famous as the breeding
place Of seagulls, has signed up a
Harvard graduate for the lonesome
job Of herding gulls during their nest
ing season, a private philanthropy In
which Mr.. Hatch has been engaged for
some years.
There were 1000 applicants for the
position as the result of the insertion
of an advertisement in New York City
newspapers, which read:
"Wanted--A man to live alone on
an island inland lake; eight miles
from shore; transportation, food,
shelter, boat, ETC., furnished: no work.
no compensation. Address Summer
time, 600 Tribune building, New York"
Il have no faith in the theories of
Thomas A. Edison when it comes to
selecting the man for the place." said
Mr.. Hatch. Il have found in my ex-
perience that a search for the best
personnel generally leads to the col
lege man. He may start slowly, but
he has the equipment and once started
he goes fast and straight.
THAT is why l selected a college
man to be warden Of the gulls. The
job is one that requires aptitude and
judgment such as an educated man
may be expected to possess"
Among applicants for the warden
ship of lonely island were natural
lists, lawyers, poets, authors, artists,
ex-soldiers, sailors and ornithologists.
Mr.. Hatch protects the breeding
place of the gulls because he believes
they are of the greatest value in con-
serving public health. He has been
interested for many years in plans to
prevent contamination of the waters
of New York harbor. 1t is estimated
that there are 100000 gulls in and
about the harbor and each of them is
said to consume an average of two
pounds of refuse day. To protect the
eggs of nesting gulls and save the
young from destruction by vandals
who visit Four Brothers island Mr..
Hatch has constituted himself pro-
tector of the breeding ground. This
is the ninth warden appointed.
