cururate for the government to re-
cognize them
Before making the test, the census
bureau at Washington procured from
ministers and rural mail carries, the
names of 1884 babies who had been
born between January /, and July /,
1923, These names were checked
against the 1884 names of babies on
record with the state health depart
ment. If it had been found that 90
per cent of the government names
were also on the state records, West
Virginia would have been admitted to
the Registration Area. Although
the Census Bureau at Washington
commended West Virginia for the
progress that has been made the state
still failed to make the grade.

It is explained by the state health
department that this rating may not
be exact complete list of births was
not in hands of the government, but
it is sufficiently accurate to indicate
need of improvement. Only eleven

mark Of 80 per cent.

REJECT BIDS ON
LACK OF FUNDS

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 14-Al
bids on bridge and road work open
ed by the state road commission on
Tuesday and Thursday were reject
ed because Of lack Of funds to carry
out the work, the commission anouunc
ed after a meeting late today. In
ability to market a portion OF the
authorized by the last legislature,
prevented carrying further road
building contracts at this time, the.
announcement explained.
During the week of the receipt OF
bids, it became apparent" said the
commissions statement. chat the un-
sold bonds could not now be market
ed and, consequently, the funds for
the payment of the proposed work
would not be available. The COM
mission felt that only thing to do un-
der circumstances was to reject all
bids and await such time as funds
were available from the sale Of the
remaining eight million dollars OF
bonds.
s3,00O,00O Remain Unsold
The 1923 Legislature authorized
sale of 100000 of road bonds of
which block of 100000 worth was
granted. In October New York
syndicate bought another block Of
100000 and took an option on an
other 100000 which expired
this week, without being exercised.
The road commission announced
that, because some Of the counties
quotas of the state road fund had not
vet been reached, it had directed that
plans be prepared so that the work
in those counties could be contract
ed for as soon as the bonds are sold.
Explaining the reference to. quotas
the commission pointed that 80 per
cent Of funds appropriated by the leg
islature, including federal aid, be ac-
credited to the counties on the basis
of their former class A road milage
in proportion to that of the state.
seThis proportion is fixed" the
statement continued, .and the funds
accruing for contraction in the var
ious counties must be used only in
the respective counties.

If money talked, 1900 dol
lar could tell some wild tales
about when it was young.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-06-24

Hence MT. Wesson had come to him flrst of all, confident that he would start the drive with a subscription that would command respect and in- vite emula tion.
 Wesson ceased talking, largely be- cause he saw that Adams was not listening to him. That gentleman was staring fixedly at the wall on the opposite side of the room and he stared so long that Wesson became uneasy There was really nothing to look at except an cid oil painting of former Adams. A glitter came into the eyes of young Adams, his jaw muscles frightened. Wesson looked about and marked the door.
 "Ah-I beg your pardon, Wesson- was just thinking-you see. I'm a little shCrt of money-Temporaril -" His eyes again sought those of the picture and again he was si- lent. A penholder snapped between his fingers.
 But here, here," he opened the drawer convulsively, "here are twelve diamonds, Wesson-no. eleven I'll keep one to remember my grandfather Abel by. Take those for your fund. No! No! Take them. I tell you! l don't want them. Take them and-thanks fer coming to me! Good day! Good day"
 Wesson backed out. Adams picked up the telephone receiver and spoke number into the transmitter. His eyes were again riveted on those of the portrait.
 .Ah--Opdycke? Adams. Just wanted to tell you I'll take that job. When and where dc I report? Thank you. Good bye"
 He rose a bit shakily, hung the musket below the portarit again and lit cigarette. He surveyed the picture through the drifting smoke.

There was no room for doubt about it, he would have gone vigorously to work. And net uncheerfully, either He had been a good sport, Abel had. He would have treated it all as a fine adventure, he would have plunged into trade with zest and would have made his competitors well aware of his advent.
 Well-after all. that was the only way to face it. The Adams stock wasn't played out. He would do as we'll as his grandfather, whom he had Cften been told he resembled. There was fight ahead, he could put 1t through. Perhaps he would even like it. Certainly he would not There would be the zest of battle in tensely interesting. On the contrary, he had lived in a decorated boredom There would be the zest of cattle in the new life and a sense of genuine unity with his fellow men. Yes, he would put 1t ough-successf thrill of resolution and high pur- pose. Unconsciously his fingers frightened on the butt of the old musket. There was a crack, and his fingers broke through thin wood. At the same time something slipped across his palm and fell to the floor.
 Startled out of his reverie, he bent forward tC see what had fallen. There. glittering in the afternoon sunshine, lay diamond. Mechani- cally he picked it up and placed it on the table. Then he turned to the musket
 His fingers had crushed the mold ering wood and exposed a cavity that apparently had its entrance under the shoulder plate. The hole, bored crook edly. had come close to the surface of the butt Cn the side he had pressed.
 Adams picked away the broken wood and removed from the cavity eleven stones similar to the one that had fallen out. A dozen in all. He leaned back in his chair and stared at them as they lay on the table his grandfather Abel's treasure cache, stored in the musket, no
  in his adventurous wanderingS.
 Adams knew diamonds. There was a small fortune there. Enough, if put at interest, to provide him with living income for the rest of his life. He sat and stared, his mind in curious maze. His fortune was changing suddenly this afternoon.
 The door opened and Jenkins came in again. "A gentleman to see you, sir" he said. Prom the board of directors of the Goodrich Memorial hospital"
 Show him in," said Adams dully. He opened drawer and dropped the stones into it. "Ah, Wesson, how do you do?'
 Wesson was dapper, cheerful deferential MT. Adams had nc doubt heard of the million dollar drive that the hospital was undertaking? Of course, had not the hospital always been the chief charity of the Adams family? His respected father had been so generous! And so had he
