Blood Money

Blood money" was term applied
in the Middle ages to the money paid
for bloodshed. 1t might be either the
compensation paid by manslayer to
the nearest relatives of the victim, to
secure himself and his kin from ven.
geance, or the money paid by man.
slayer for bringing about the death of
another, directly or through evidence.
1t was once common among the
Scandinavian and Teutonic peoples,
who called this money payment wer.
glld, and the custom still Is practiced
in Arabia.
The price varied with the nature of
the crime and the rank of the victim.
Certain crimes. such as the Staying of
a sleeping person, could not he com
pensated by a money payment; such
criminals were declared outlaws and
could he slain with impunity.
The term is now applied to the re-
ward or bribe for giving up n criminal
to justice.-Detroit News.

Mclean, Va, has just achieved the
unusual feat Of placing on canvas

Wilder devotes his talents to the
Advancement OF the fight against

Not long ago, large hotel asked
the scientists Of the health service
to find out Why the hotels en-
ployes regularly came down with
illness a few weeks after being
hired. An epidemic of a strange
and unidentified malady rIsed in
that particular hotel. 1t was traced
to the mattresses, and straw from
these was sent TO the service. Mites
were found in the straw, but they
did not spread the ailment. Parasites
were found on the mites. Prof.
Wilder painted these parasites in
their true cOlorS. magnifieu many
hundreds Of ri:nes, and thereby
make a lasting record of the case.
The works Of a mosquito laden
with malaria germs formed the sub

affair from his cot last night.
His stories deal with an attempt
to purchase liquor at the Old

early yesterday morning, his alb
duction in q machine containing
two men and three women. and a
fight which resulted in his injury.

| in with three women and two men.
One Of the women he gave "a, he

the running board just as the auto
started. Then, he said, he was
dragged in and beaten.
From Eighteenth street and Penn

mad dash to Eastern branch, Greco
said. Here he was thrown into
the weeds and his clothes partly
torn from him They took his
watch and SAP then threw him
into the automobile again and car
ried him home. Later in the morn
ing he called the Emergency hos.

Mrs. jeanette Ryan, residing at
the Commercial Hotel, $50 r street
northwest, was arrested last night
as a member Of the party. After
questioning her for several hours
she was released.
She told the police that she had
come to the Mil with two women.
At the restaurant, she said, they
met the policeman and the two
men. She said she left with the
others and was thrown into the
machine. That was all she remem-
bered. she said, until she found
herself wandering at Eighteenth and
I streets. She made her way home.
She could neither give the names
of her companions or their ad-
dresses, but stated they were old
acquaintance.

Dear Mr.. Doheny:
"Your telegram Of the 21st was

you make is to me most alluring.

much indeed the opportunity to be

cannot do so, however, because, In
the expansion of the business Of
a corporation such as you would
organize, it would almost of neces-
