FAMOUS SHEPPARD TO PASS AWAY;
 TO BE USED NOW FOR RESIDENCES

MARBIEHEAD, Mass, March G. The shipyard at the edge of the Marblehoad cliffs where many famous were manufactured, is to be changed soon into a residential site.
 In 1905 w. Sterling Burgess, naval architect, purchased the land and erected a yacht building. He constructed marine railway, and the rock was blasted to prepare a channel which would accommodate vessels with draft of II feet An other adjunct to the yard was the OK, a 50-foot stWamer designed for towing. Mir Burgess carried both rilots' and engineers licenses to op- crate the ship. Later Mrs. Burgess was granted pilots papers, and came into prominence as tho only woman r1ot on the coast.
 The frs. boat to take shape was the Pontias, for George Silsbee. Many other yachts followed. some of which were successful in cnan paonship races in Boston, New York New Orleans and other racing ccn- ters.
 In 1907 the 110-foot gasoline pas senger boat Pineland, of 300 horse power. was built for Hayden & Co of New Orleans. The Pineland was ones of the first vessels to be pro pelled successfully by motor. Airplane construction was begun in 1909 and the first completed craft was tested in February, 1910, by MT. Burgess. A. M. Herring and Nor man Prince. This flight was tho first made in New England.
 In the summer of the same year. MT. Burgess opened a testing and flying station at Plum Island near Newburyport, and the product of the Marblehcad factory was taken to the station by the OK. Claude Grahame- White. British aviator, made the first flight over the city of London in a Mafbleliead-buil airplane. In 1911 Harry N. Atwood attained fame by his flight in a Burgess plane from Marblehead to Washington. During the fall of that year another of these planes was fitted with pontoons and pilots succeeded in making it alight on and take off from the surface of the ocean, heralding the now fa- miliar seaplane.

Denies School Children Are Users of Drugs

BUFFALO. March 6.--Dr. Franklin C. Gram, city health officer. former prison physician and student of the drug evil, declares that in all his ex perience he has never found public or high school student a victim of the drug habit.
 'The only authority for the stories that drugs are being sold to schoO children in several of our large cities lis the statement of drug addictS themselves, and they are notoriou; liars Dr. Gram says. Nothing they say can be accepted for the truth unless there is corrobcrati5n from other sources.
 q cannot conceive how high or grade school students could become drug users without such conditions being speedily discovered by their parents or teachers. No instance of the kind has been reported to the Buffalo health department.
 'If anyone becomes a drug ad dict, he has only himself to blame It is not true. as generally assumed that innocent persons are started on the dope route through taking drugs in medicine. or through the urging of Illicit peddlers. Individual moral weakness is almost always the cause of their downfall.
