DRAKE FORTUNE" A MYTH
Descendants of Sir Francis Can Get
 Nothing From Estate

Those Michigan men and women who for the last fifty years or more have been dreaming of wealth from overseas as the result of their being descended from Sir Francis Drake-a dream which seems to flare up about every ten years-should dream no more. other amount awaiting them.
 The authority for this statement is Louise Stoughton Drake, compiler of "the Drake family in England and Amer. 1360-1S95, and the descendants of Thomas Drake of Weymouth, Mass, l63O-1691." In communication to the New York Times, she asserts that as early as 1870. an association was formed with headquarters in New York, known as the ..Heirs of Sir Francis Drake. Deceased" the objects being ito use all lawful ways and means either by process of law, compromise or otherwise for obtaining with all dis patch the settlement of the estates of Sir Francis Drake, deceased"
 This organization raised funds and sent attorneys to England to present their claims in the courts there, only to learn that they had no claims, as the "squatters' claim," or twenty years, entitled Thomas Trayton Fuller and his heirs to the Drake estate and debarred all others
 Not only did they have no claim, but the Drake estate was much mag nified in the minds of the possible heirs, according to Mrs. Drake, who

GOTHAM A "CITY OF CITIES" Districts Which Combine New York
 Are Sharply Defined

New York is a city of cities. Not in the sense of various foreign settlements, for New York has such racial groups, consisting of almost all the peoples of the world, but in the sense of sharply provided districts, each one of which has it's manners, customs, speech, habits and dress. These districts not only have their own codes of ethics, but speech as well.
 From Times Square to Wall street, travelling underground, the journey is approximately ten minutes. Yet though both are prominent parts of Manhattan there is differentiation so sharply marked that it is at once apparent.
 Times Square has its own publica- tions written in the interest of and in the language of that particular section of the city. So does Wall street. If the Wall street man would dress as does the Times Square representatives, he wouldn't belong" and if the Times Square inhabitant appareled himself as does the Wall street brother, his friends would regard him with suspicion.

 An express train, from Grand Gen. tral to the heart of the Bronx, gives one time only to read the headlines. Yet it is a journey almost of from America to Russia. A ferry boat from the Bat tery takes the adventurer in short twenty minutes to still another city within the city-Staten Island. Brook lyn, of course, never loses its identity. It spreads out and struggles more and is more bewildering, but it is always Brooklyn.

Cold Me0t COOkerv

Cold meat is by most people objected to as unappetizing and not easily di- gested. The relocating, however, re- quires much more care than IS gen erally given to it and the want of this care frequently results in unpalatable hashes and stews to which cold meat would be infinitely preferable.
 All gristle, skin and fat that will not be eaten should be removed when pre- pairing the meat for relocating, as there is no economy in serving these things and the dish will be spoiled by their presence.
 When beef, veal, chicken, etc., are no longer to be served in their original form, the usuable parts should be cut into pieces and trimmed carefully, the bones, gristle and any overcooked edges being placed with a little minced vege- tables, herbs and seasoning in sauce pan with cold water and simmered gently to extract all flavor and fur nish a supply of stock for gravy.
 It is common mistake to imagine that meat once cooked needs only to be heated. Having lost a great deal of it's ihices in the first cooking, when relocated in good we'll favored stock or gravy considerable time is required to blend the flavor.
 If plenty of time is not given to the process. the flavor of the meat will be quite distinct from that of the gravy and in all probability the former will be hard and tough. Long, gentle sim mering is as necessary for cold meat as for fresh.

BUS AS AID TO TRAM LINE
Officials in Akron Assert Motor Serv-
 Ice Is Better Than Extensions

Officials of the Northern Ohio Trac- tion and Light company will attempt to show at conference between repre- sentative citizens and city officials of Akron that motor busses, linked with the present street railway system, will give better service than an extension of car lines in outlying districts.
 Although the present problem con- cerns request to extend the Wooster avenue street car line the same prin- ciple can be applied to the entire street railway system in Akron, according to A. c. Blinn, vice president and general manager of the traction company.
 It is believed to be the beginning of movement to abandon all but the main car lines in favor of the busses.
 After poll taken among residents of Wooster avenue, it was announced by Mayor D. c. Rybolt that that sec tion was overwhelmingly in favor of street cars over bus service.
 The vote stood S82 for cars and 101 for busses.
 Mayor Rybolt said that he would let those living in the Wooster avenue sec tiOn vote on the matter to decide whether street cars should be retained, or busses substituted, as suggested by the traction company.
 Mir. Blinn said he did not believe the people understood the proposition as presented to them by those circu- lating the petitions.
 We were looking forward to the future growth of the Wooster avenue section when he suggested tha substitu- tion of motor busses for the car line," MT. Blinn said.
 'The single track line now in use does not give adequate service, and it is not practical to build a double track line on that street.
 Under present conditions, the best that can be given is an 8-minute serv- ice.
 By using busses, which would con- nects with the main car line, 2-minute service could be provided in the rush hours.-From an Akron Letter to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Miscellaneous Hints
To Clean Furniture

For furniture finished with wax, such as fumed and Flemish and English oak, nothing is better than a good floor wax dissolved in turpentine, applied spar ingly and thoroughly rubbed in. When the furniture is carved the polish may be applied with brush and then rub bed with cheesecloth. Enameled fur niture should only be wiped off with a soft cheesecloth, wrung out of tepid suds of ivory or castillo soap, rinsed with cloth wrung out of clear warm

Refinishing Old Floors

If an old floor is badly stained the old finish must be entirely removed. Use a good paint and varnish remover, which you can buy ready for use or make at home. This is applied with a brush and loosens up the old finish so that it can be wiped off, leaving the wood in a natural state. Be sure that the floor ', is thoroughly washed afterwards and dried before refinishing. If the floor was waxed, go over it with turpentine before putting on the new finish. When the wood is in a natural state fill any cracks with crack filling paste; then any finish can be used upon it.
