nize the truth. If there is not, then
go back to do what you can do well.
How many hundreds of girls like
this come to New York and are lost
in the maelstrom of mad climbing
for career. How many of them
are heartbroken and Disguised be-
cause they find that Main street,
with all its trials. is mellow as COM
pared to all the hard roads that must
be Travelled on Broadway.
The competition is very keen, and
the sensible young woman will see
to it that she is. indeed. above the
average before she gives up q sure
thing for an uncertainty.
In other words. from Main street
to Broadway is not far. but to travel
there one must be equipped with rear

variety.
KEROSENE DISCOVERY
The first to introduce the use of
coal oil or kerosene" in the United
States and Canada was DR.. Abraham
Gesner. distinguished Canadian
biologist, who died in Halifax, N. S.,
90 years ago DR.. Gesner, after long
experimenting. discovered how to
produce oil that could be used in
lamps for illuminating purposes from
pltumlnous shale and camel coal. He
gave the name of kerosene" to his
product, but it was popularity Gale
coal OIL" ;
Following the discovery Of petro-
leum in large quantities in Pennsyl-
vania in 1859. and later in many
other sections of North America
Kerosene became the principal prod
uct of the distillation of the crude
oil.
DR.. Gesner, the discoverer of kero-
sene, was born IN CORVALLIS. N. S..
In 1897. and Was educated for the,
profession of medicine. Later he be-
came interested in geological re-
searches, and in 1898 he was an
pointed to examine the geological re-
sources of the lower Provinces of
British North America Like most
inventors. he derived little financial
benefit from his discovery. which
was destined to be the foundation of
scores of immense fortunes.

Tuesday morning I was again
taken into court, in order to allow
my attorneys to present an argu-
ment with a view to securing a new
trial in that court. The proceedings
had little interest for me because l
felt that Irrespective of all the au-
thorities nay lawyers might cite in
support of contention that the
court had erred on various points,
the court would not reverse itself.
While in the court room that day
I saw one of the members of my
Jury. He appeared to take great
interest in the proceedings. and 1
found myself wondering whether he
wished that / might get another
trial or If his desires were the OPP
poslte. 1t was clearly evident, how
ever, that he had not become sick of
court--at any rate. SO much as /
because of over two weeks continu-
Gus attendance.
Ny belief that the trial court
would not admit its own error proved
correct. For after my attorneys had
finished their argument and in oppo-
sition the district attorney had cited
two or three authorities, the judge

Homes, Orchards and Fields

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAGERSTOWN, June 5.-A terrific
hail storm cut swath through the
fertile Sharpsburg and Rohersville
sections of Washington county early
yesterday. leaving a path of ruin and
desolation. Conservative estimates of
damage caused to homes. farm build
ings. fields of wheat and corn and to
fruit orchards were placed at be-
tween $150,000 and 100000, but there
were others who predicted that it
may reach a quarter OF a million dol
lars when careful check is made.
Entire fields of wheat in the path of
the storm were left as IL great
scythe had passed over them, while
entire orchards OF apples and peaches
were stripped of their fruit in a sec
tion fifteen miles long and two miles
river, about a mile south Of Sharps-
burg, to the top of South Mountain,
above Rohersville.
Window Panes Smashed.
Hundreds of panes of glass were
smashed by the hail stones, which
were as large as hen eggs In some
places. At Rohersville, a small viii
lage at the base of the mountain,
where the storm appeared to halt, the
hail stones were smaller, but for half
an hour they fell in torre nts.
The storm gained in intensity. ac-
cording to campers along the Potomac
river, just after it had crossed this
river it cut a clean path for fifteen
miles. This path ranged from a
mile in width to two miles. When the
clouds, which had reddish appear
ance, reached the high ridges of
South mountain, they appeared to
peared to settle over the town of
Rohersville. the village being pelted
with hail stones for half an hour.
Wheat Cut to Pieces.
Wheat on the farms of Walter
Stouffer and Edward Thomas. about
mile and a half south of Sharps-
burg. directly in the path of the storm
stripped of their ripening fruit.
Lookout Mountain Orchard. owned

ed by w. E. McAfee. the largest or
chard in the southern section of the
county, which is located on the top
Of the mountain above Rohersville,
suffered thousands of dollars dam
age. Every window in the McAfee
home was knocked out by the hail
stones.
A high wind, accompanying the
storm, uprooted many trees. A num-
ber of small roads were blocked by
fallen trees and branches of trees
torn off by the wind.
The storm was confined to this one
small section of the county. There
was "a settled rain here during the
late afternoon as well as In other
sections OF the county west and
north of this city. but no hail or

REPLIES TO ADAMS
LEAGUE CHALLENGE
Chairman Hull Tells G. 0. P,
Democratic Convention
Alone Writes Platform.

Chairman Hull of the democratic
national committee has issued a state
ment in reply to the challenge of
Chairman Adams of the republican
national committee yesterday, that
he define the attitude of the demo-
cratic national organization on the
league of nations. Chairman Hull's
statement, in part, follows:
Chairman John T. Adams of the
republican national committee cannot
dodge or evade the issue he has
raised within his own party through
his open opposition to the foreign
policy OF President Harding and Sec
retary Hughes by interrogating me
on the attitude of the democratic ma
tional committee concerning the for
elgn policy of the democratic party.
Unlike Chairman Adams. l do not rec
ognize the authority of any one to
write party platforms except the ma
tional party convention.
Says Republicans Play Politics.
Dominant republican national lead
ers played politics with our foreign
affairs during 1919 and 1920. and the
irreconcflables have endeavored to
do SO since that time. while most
democrats and vast number of pa
trlotic republicans, on the other hand
have earnestly tried to keep our for
eign policies free from vicious parti-
san politics. | shall pursue this nom
partisan course, and shall not co.
operate with any republican leader in
injecting cheap politics into foreign
questions. nor shall | accede to Chair
man Adams proposal that / proceed
TO define platform for democrats.
The 1924 democratic platform will, no
doubt. reflect the impartial non-parti-
san views of democrats. and intelli-
gent republicans as we'll NV propos-
ing a practical application of the doc
trine of international cooperation
embracing all the fundamentals and
essentials of the foreign policies of
the recent democratic administration
to conditions as they may then exist.
Adams Attitude Surprises.
Chairman Adams has been so de-
mandatory of one-man government
that 1t is rather surprising to see
him in the role of dictator not only
to his party but to the incumbe n I
republican administration. 1t is
equally surprising that he should
wish to add to his present troubles
by seeking a controversy with me. IL
his questions came from President
Harding or Secretary Hughes. whose
functions under the Constitution
make them responsible for the admin
istration's foreign policy. the Ques-
tions would be worthy of serious dis
cussion, but I have no assurance that
statements now made by Chairman n
Adams will not be recalled by Secre-
tary Hughes"
