May Day has taken on a new

In selecting that date as the most
hitting on which to dedicate the
thirty-five million children of
America to health and happiness,
the American Child Health Assoc

which has as its objective the
awakening of a national interest
In child health. The President
of the United States, all the gov
ernors, municipal authorities and
ministers have united with millions
OF fathers and mothers to make
his demonstration one that will
bring about a lasting impression
throughout the country.
May Day has been designated by
the officials of the American Child
Health Association as a festival
day for the children and has also
been aptly called take heed day"
to- the parents. These officials,
sAnong whom are many of the
'eading American authorities on
'ocial problems, have decided as a
part of the celebration to revive
the picturesque custom of hanging
May baskets. holding colorful page

Exercise

Exercise
"Exercise thyself.' - I Timothy AL.
Exercise has but to be mentioned,
and we think at once and almost ex-
clusively, of that which is in line with
Camps "Daily Dozen," with phono-
graphic accompaniment. and of Nc
Faden IS physical culture work. Which
is like thinking of potatoes, and of
potatoes only, in connection with agri-
culture.
So far as mans physical machine,
the body, is concerned, physical cxer-
else is, of course, the whole thing. But
so far as mans nature and being is
concerned the physical is, as the Pota-
to in agriculture, but one of variety
of things to be dealt with.
By the way, McFadden, with his wife
and seven children, was recently pho
tographed on the steps of the Capitol
in Washington. A fine, healthy, hap
py looking bunch. He is there in order
to lecture to congressman on "How to
Keep Fit" There seems to be an lcsa
prevalent throughout the country just
now that some congresmen are as
need of other training besides physical
to render them fit for the performance
of the duties of their calling. And SO

"We are born,' as the eminent phil
osopher, John Locke, reminds us, "with
faculties and powers capable of almost
anything; but it is only the exercise
of those powers which gives us ability
and skill in any thing, and leads us
toward perfection.
Powers of mind, of heart, of will, of
conscience. These are ours by natural
inheritance; but what they will be, in
the way of service and good to us, is
altogether dependent upon what they
become by nurture and cultivation, by
our exercise of them in systematic and
habitual use. Topsy may aspect that

natural powers through our intelligent
use and exercise of them in and toward
some definite purpose. These powers
in us stagnate by neglect, or are de-
PRAYED by evil and wrong use They
are the raw material out " which
character is made up, and, like all raw
material, must be worked up to pro-
duce what the worker desires and pur
poses to produce.
"Exercise thyself to discern between
good and evil.'
Exercise thyself unto godliness. -
Exercise thyself to have always a
conscience void of offense toward God
and man.
These higher things are just as nat
uralistic as the physical is. The pow
ers by which they are possible to use
are born in us. And they are born in
US of God.
God gave thee both to will and do
the things thy powers mako possible,
of good, of health, of peace, of JOY,
which, coming into rightful possession
Of, no man can take from thee.

BALTIMORE, December 27-Tbe
science of modern road buiIdine

Johns Hopkins University and the
Bureau of Public Roads of the United

A formal agreement has been en-

next week or two. Special labora-
tory equipment Is under construction

been appointed in charge of the re-
search
The tests will center about the
elastic properties Of concrete under
the impact of moving or rapidly ap-
piled loads.
I'm. my previous work for the bu-
reau," Mr.. Thompson said, 1--WE made
an important discovery. We learned
that, although the force applied upon
a concrete pavement by moving We
hicle may be several times as great
as that applied by the same vehicle
standing still, nevertheless 1T does
not follow that the actual construc-
tion of the road should be based upon
this relationship. Concrete behaves
quite differently under the force of
impact of rapidly applied loads. This
phenomenon is due simply to what
are called the elastic properties OF
concrete"

ban ON AMERICAN
POTATOES FOUGHT
Britain's Embargo, Pulling
to Officials Here, Evokes
Protests.

The British embargo on American
potatoes brought appeals yesterday
to several Government departments
for cooperation in an effort to have
the ban modified.
Senator Hale of Maine, acting on
protests from Maine growers, called
at the State and Agricultural Depart
ments to discuss the situation, but in
the absence Of detailed informa tion
action was deferred. At the same time,
confirmation of dispatches telling of the
embargo reached the British embassy
and the Department of Agriculture.
At the embassy it was announced
that the embargo, which applies only
to England and Wales, became effec-
tive December 20, but that potatoes
then en- route would be allowed to
enter.
Maine potato growers, Senator Hale
said. would be particularly hard hit
by the British action, because of a
surplus OF the product in that State
this year. Virginia, North Carolina,
New Jersey and New York also would
be affected, he said
Omcials Are Puzzled.
At the Agricultural Department
some officials, although hesita ting to
comment in the absence of detailed

pest which the embargo is aimed at,

ceased to cause American farmers
great concern. The British Isles.
however, have been free of the bee
tie.
The departments advices also de-
clared that Canadian potatoes were
not included in the embargo, and II
was pointed out that the beetle per-
haps is more firmly established in
certain Canadian provinces than in
the United States.
The only statement at the Depart
ment of Agriculture was to the effect
that the department always is con-
cerned over any restriction of the
market for American products. The
British Isles normally are potato ex-
porters. it was said. but are import
ing this year, due to a short home crop
1T was thought this situation might
have caused the embargo to be placed
as protection against the beetle
during the importing period.
Transportation of the insect to
England from the United States
would largely be accidental, it was
said by some officials. who described
the bug as a leaf feeder and as more
likely to be carried in greenstuffs
than in potato sacks.

Fight for Treasurer.
state Treasurer Purcell is the only
officer who has to face opposition UP
to this time. One of the real fights
of the campaign will be that for the
State corporation commission. That
body has lately assumed control of
affairs which have for years been
committed to the localities for their
adjudication-the matter of rates for
pubic utilities in local limits The
Legislature last Winter declined to
vest the commission with that power,
despite the efforts of powerful con-
Germs in Virginia to accomplish this
The real bone of contention is the
Virginia Railway & Power Co, oper-
ating street cars. power plants and
furnishing electric lights in Rich
mond, Petersburg, Norfolk and Ports
mouth.
Senator Epes, one of the candidates,
is against the action of the commits
sion, having taken that position and
expressed his views prior to the deci-
sion of the commission that it had the
right to pass on the matter of rates
The Senate passed the bill to give au-
thority to the commission and the
house proceeded to defeat 1t by a
large vote. That matter is to be one
of the leading issues the coming year
and the counties and cities are ex-
pected to make a big fight to elect
members of the popular branch who
Will respond to their wishes in the
premises. ......--. ..
Archer II. Williams of Wythe, who
several months ago announced that
he would make the race for State
treasurer, is hard at work on his
campaign. and he invites all who may
desire to measure lances with him ir
the contest to step right out in front
and start something. Mr.. Williams
pays handsome compliments to
Coombs and Purcell, his rivals, saying
they are good men.

, the 1,000-acre farm and its 22-room
ma nsion, just outside Washington
where he was to reside after January
&c. the date on which, he insisted, all
would be his. He admitted that he
was not altogether familiar with the
family tree. and there was vague
ness about who the Floras family
WINS, when questioned. He explained
his educa tional shortcomings, but
told in a simple and convincing way
of the steps taken recently leading
to realizat ton of the estate.
Griffin is 80 years of age and has
fiTe children. He was born at Frank
lin, Va, and married Miss Emma
Vaughan of Raleigh. n. c. He came
here last May from Greensboro and
worked at bottling plant Later he
was employed on a construction job.
and last November began working at
the furniture factory.
According to Richmond advices.
MADISON, was not in that city yester-
day when inquiries were made for
him of y. Askip, proprietor OF the
chain stores, and would not be back
before Monday. Where he had gone
was not disclosed.
Griffin denies he owes the clothing
concern $74. but admits an unsettled
account of s3S. This he will pay
when he comes into possession of his
fortune, he says, and he VIII pay back
a large number of other persons who
have been quite friendly since he re-
ceived notice of his large legacy.
Prepares to Buy Car.
Griffin returned with his wife to-
night from Greensboro. n. c., and was
in the act OF executing a note for
$4,000 for the purchase of a handsome
car when he was shown newspa-
per declaring the Floras estate story
a myth He refused to believe 1t, but
stated with no little feeling that he
intended to play the wild" with
somebody. He showed two letters
signed by "E. T. Kadison" of Rich
mond. which he says bore the first
word of the estate. He then related
the circumstances of his two trips to
Richmond in the interest Of the
estate. insisting that Kadison never
mentioned a debt to him.
MADISON paid my expenses to
Washington on December 90" Griffin
said, land accompanied me. We got
there at night, and he introduced me
in an Office to four men he represent
ed as being the administrators of the
estate. l do not recall their names
One of them said he was the family
lawyer, and 1 signed several papers,
but / cannot tell what they were.
The lawyer man told me he would
send me $500 on January "a so I could
take my wife and family to Washing
ton January 26 to take over the
estate MADISON the next day took me
a piece out of Washington and show
ed me large farm, which he said
would be mine"
Griffin said he was unable TO un-
derstand how all this should take
place to enforce collection of bill.
MADISON while in Richmond. Griffin
states never preached the Askin debt
to him. and he insists tonight that
he never doubted that the estate
would be his until he saw newspapers
this evening carrying explanation OF
the story.
