sci Ringgold Hart.
Although no time limit during

GH0ULS TEST LEGEND
OF TREASURE IN TOMB

BALTIMORE, Jan. 12.-Lured by
q century-old legend Of treasure
buried in q tomb, ghouls worked
two nights to unearth the secret
of a grave IN a little burial ground
near here. The graveyard Is over
grown by the moss and underbrush
Of generations.
Summoning Of police by two men
who passed the lonely spot inter
rupted the vandals at their digging.
Two patrolmen advanced to the
grave side with drawn pistols, with
a youth Of the village acting as
guide, but found it deserted. The
grave was found to be that OF
Mrs. Mary Tschudi, an ancestor
Of Samuel W. Tschudi, cashier OF
the Merchants National Bank, and
his son, Harold Tschudi, a lawyer.
The Tschudi family had q large
estate in the vicinity of the ancient
burial ground before the revolu-
tionary war. Harold Tschudi said
he had never heard the legend Of
treasure buried in the grave.

Auto Tips

For the sake Of safety, steering
should be neither too stiff nor too
free.
Soft tires consume much power
as well az cause much wear on
them.
Clutch and brake pedals should
have half an inch clearance in
every direction.
The three worst enemies Of an
automobile are vibration, friction,
and carbon.
Noisy gear shifting IL usually
due to the clutch not being thrown

the crew through a series of small

under oars. power and SAIL
All of the men are enjoying the
best of health and view with regret
the fact that they are heading home

whole-heartedly into the drilling, and
the routine of a battelship. Capt.
Blood, in recognition of the spirit
shown by the crew, has given them
every opportunity for liberty.

A Bleak Belief.

I'd hate to think all men are
crooks, that no ones on the square,
that good men only live in books,
and are but fables there. I've always
held the human race to be a great
success, and if I found it in disgrace
'twould jar me, / confess. The
gloomy grouches hand us bunk and
would the race defame, but l have
never seen it sunk in dismal swamps
of shame. l do not think my native
grad is but a total loss because some
skates whose hearts are bad put
sinful stunts across. | do not think
the country speeds to ruin and de-
cay because some lonesome graft
er'S deeds are in the news today.
| do not think our eagle bold will
modulate its screams because some
swindler gathers gold by working
vicious schemes. Each day | read
some thrilling tales of sinners and
their sin, of scofflaws locked in
moldy jails for selling deadly gin.
But over this l do not brood or say
the laws are junk; because one
anarchist is stewed, why call the
nation drunk: The good old human
race, my friends, is always stacking
high; the pull of virtue never ends,
sin and sinners die Though
one may shock the neighborhood
with actions base, obscene, ten thou
sand hearts are brave and good, ten
thousand lives are clean.
