A play Of more than usual interest
is "Lally." by Henry Stillman, pro-

ceptionally fine players. headed by
Claude Rains, ana embracing Anne
Morrison. Patricia Barclay, Gerald

He is beset by numerous progeny, a
mistress and a young woman who
comes upon the scene and proceeds

he maintains in his apartment, and
to record the events in the sequence
of happening would sound banal. It

you are in the mood to sympathize
with a temperamental young fellow
who lives in a bedlam.

An exception should be made in
the scenery devised by Yellenti, how

270 CHEST CLINICS IN
MARYLAND LAST YEAR
MADE POSSIBLE BY
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Two hundred and seventy free Chest
Clinics were conducted throughout
the state during the fiscal year ending
September 80, according to informa-
ton released by the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association, from its state
offices in Baltimore.
For nearly four years these clinics
have been conducted by the Clinician
Of the State Association, in co-opera-
ton with the official health agencies
Of the state and counties. This year
total of 1892 examinations we're
made, resulting in the disclosing Of
1853 manifest cases OF tuberculosis,
and 220 heart cases More than six
hundred practicing physicians in the
state either attended or referred cases
to the clinics for diagnosis This, -
says Mr.. w. b. Matthews, Managing
Director of the State Association,
shows the wonderful cooperation the
Association has had from the local
doctors, and the official state and
county health authorities"
The twentieth annual sale of Christ
mas Seals which will end on Christ
mas Day will give the opportunity
again to the people of the counties tc
assist in the continuance of these very
necessary and successful Chess
Clinics.

Gulf Streams Width
Put at Fifty Miles

The Gulf stream flows out of the
Gulf of Mexico between the coast OF
Florida and the Bahamas, and then
northeastwardly along the American
coast. Its width, in the narrowest
portion, is about fifty miles, and Its
depth some 1900 feet. After 1t has
passed between the Bermudas and
the coast of Carolina 1t is divided
into several streams, about 100 faith
oms deep and altogether $50 miles
wide. Its temperature up to this
point is several degrees warmer than
that of the surrounding ocean.
Beyond the 10th parallel Of north
latitude and the meridian 90 degrees
west, the Gulf stream can no longer
be distinguished from the rest OF
the ocean drift by temperature, mo-
ton, color, saltiness or otherwise. 1t
has no further separate existence, but
is lost In the general drift of warm
water from the southwestern Atlantic
toward Europa general phenom-
enon having little or nothing to do
with the Gulf stream proper.

THE BEST GIFT OF ALL is HEALTH
TUBERCULOSIS
KILLS FIVE DAILY
IN MARYLAND

Statistics recently given out by the
State Health Department show that
in 1925, eighteen hundred and eight
individuals died from tuberculosis in
the State of Maryland This means
that approximately five people each
day die from the white plague in our
State. For each death, it is esti-
mated that there are at least nine
active cases indicating that at pres
emit there are In Maryland more than
sixteen thousand active cases of
tuberculosis.
The white plague appears to be the
most serious menace In our family
and economic life, despite the prog
ress made In fighting it. Closely al
lied with this program 10 the united
effort of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, cooperating with the off,
cial health agencies in the prevention
and eradication of this disease.
DR.. H. H Riley, head of Commune

partment, says THE work against
tuberculosis must be enlarged II the
disease is to be brought entirely un.
der control, and eventually stamped
out. The State Department of Health
is deeply interested in this fight, and
has always given its stamp of ap-
prevail to the activities of the Mary.

A Walk With Thoreou

To take a walk with Thoreau, one
must rigidly adhere to the manners of
the woods. He could lead one to the
ripest berries, the hidden nest, the
rarest flowers, but no plant life could
be carelessly destroyed, no mother
bird lose her eggs.
First he would give a curious whis-
tie and woodchuck would appear
a different whistle and two squirrels
would run to him. A different note
yet and birds would fly and even so
shy a bird as crow would alight on
his shoulder. The children must be
mute and very motionless till each
pet was fed from his pocket and had
departed. Thus the children were in
troduced to his family, as he called
them. - Mary Hosmer Brown, In
Memories of Concord"

How Vanderbilt Earned
First Hundred Dollars

Cornelius Vanderbilt, later to be the
commodore, was a strong, big, healthy
boy who worked on the farm and
tended his fathers boat. He was
great lover of horses and when he was
six years old raced bareback with 9TH
er boys. He played truant to go sail
ing and swimming and gallivanting
across the countryside and sometimes
he talked of running away to sea.
On May 1, 1910, he sought 800 from
his mother, to buy himself harbor
boat, piragua, and become a boat
man. She promised him the money IL
he would pillow and plant certain
rocky eight-acre field by May 81, his
sixteenth birthday. He persuaded the
neighborhood boys to help him and on
the morning of his birthday he got
the 500. About seventy years later,
he had increased the 500 to 100000

Power of LoUe

Once when John Ruskin and
Thomas Carlyle were discussing the
literature of their day, the latter said
to his companion: "Can you tell me
why it is that works on subjects of
vital interest to the race, splendidly
written by men of profound scholar
ship, command scarcely sufficient sale
to pay the cost of publishing; while
trashy novels, false to history, false
to philosophy and false to the facts
Of human experience, and altogether
lacking in literary merit, will sell by
scores of thousands?"
After a short pause, Ruskin re
piled: "There is but one explanation
of that fact, but the explanation is
all-sufficient; the novel has love In
It and the other has not."-Scrib-
ner's Magazine

Old Pharaoh Giant
of Financial World

Herodotus, Diodorus and Plutarch
give us a few dazzling glimpses OF
wealthy men in antiquity. First OF
them, almost lost in the mists of leg
end was the Egyptian Pharaoh RAJ
meses HI-also known as Rhamp-
sinitus-who reigned about 5000
years ago. He surpassed all prede-
cessors in the wealth he possessed
and in his fondness for its accumu-
lation. Diodorus estimates this pha-
raoh's fortune at 100000 talents,
which would be about $500,0O0OO0 in
actual money today. In the purchas-
ing power of that period 1t was
equivalent to twenty times this
amount Rameses, therefore, was
worth $1O,O0OOOO,000 in the buying
value of his day.
To show how far money would go
a thousand years before Christ, it Is
only necessary to mention that a fat
OK could be bought for 81 or less;
that a bushel of wheat would bring
IL cents in the market; that a days
wage was from 10 to 20 cents.-New

Blessing the Beasts

A quaint ceremony is that still OBJ
tanning in some parts of Normandy,
the benediction des bestiaux. The
oxen and the draft horses are assem-
bled In front of the church. There
may also be bullock or two and per,
haps some cows. The procession OF
peasants. clad in their very best, Is
sues from the church to the sound OF
a chant that is droned by the priest.
The venerable cure sprinkles a few
drops of water on the heads Of the
beasts and when all the animals have
received the benediction the next Tea
ture of the ceremony is to place at
the pedestal Of the cross facing the
church certain bundles tied in coarse
linen. These bundles contain bread
and salt, which are to be given to
those beasts not able to attend the
ceremony, says the Washington Star.

Tea drinking is a universal social
habit in Persia. One of the social
Institutions of great attraction Is the
teahouse, some of which are furnished
quite deliberately, while others are
rude in their surroundings. Business
men often make appointments here,
and it is very common for loafers to
seek out these teahouses. The com

the water pipe the smoke passes
through the water and is drawn into
