Sir Charles was taken into Gus

When served with the writ, issued

to remain at a hotel under guard

Breckenridge Long, former assist

total cessation of its planting. In
April of that year (1666) the Assem-
bly, of Maryland enacted that from
and after the first day of February,
1867, until the first day of February,
1868, "no tobacco shall be sown, set,
planted or in any way tended within
this Province of Maryland"
This being matter Of supreme i'm
portance to the people at large, and
as no doubt many evidently believed,
one that would interfere with their
personal liberty" Ia familiar phrase
to our ears even at this date), COM
mittee was appointed to secure, for
the first time for any purpose, united
action of the three mid-Atlantic Colo
MES. Cooperation among the three
seemed assured until the matter was
referred to the Proprietary for his
approval. He turned deaf ear to the
proposal and refused his assent, CIV
ing as his reason the Inconvenience
which may follow, not only to the
poorer sort of planters within our
said Province, but also the Kings
most excellent Majesty in relation to
his Majesty's customs"
The last reason, we may surmise,
was an adroit move on the part of
Lord Baltimore to win to his support
the ministers of the mother country.
In any event, this first effort to secure
colonial cooperation in economic mat
tiers failed, as did the later attempts
in 1851 and 1852. Nature, however,
stepped in and created the proper bal
ance in 1867, which is known as the
"year of the hurricane" in which, it is
recorded, fifteen thousand houses in
Virginia were blown down and three
fourths of the tobacco crop destroyed.

An Interesting Fact

Price Fixing and Reducing Production
of Commodities Not New Theory s
In times of business recession and
economic stress, publicists herald in
the halls of Congress and through the
press as newly discovered theories on
which curative, or at least palliative,
measures may be based. But when
these so-called new theories are plac-
ed under the strong light of historical
facts, we may we'll consider that
''there is nothing new under the sur"
In the present era much is said as
to freezing prices" in times of a ma
tional emergency; of the fixing of
prices of commodities, at maximum
or minimum; of the reduction of the
planted acreage of wheat, cotton, corn
or other crops. These are far from
new theories.
In 1866, the Governors of Carolina,
Virginia and Maryland, finding that

of tobacco, that crop "by which the
Province doth at present subsist," had
caused an over production, as a re-
suit of which all markets were glut-
ted, caused to be proclaimed a years

LONELINESS INSURANCE

We can buy insurance policies to
protect ourselves against loss by fire,
theft, tornado and most other, causes
of human distress, but money will not
buy an escape from that most poig-
nant of all miseries, lonely old age.
Friendship is the one and only insur-
ance in the world against the tragedy
of loneliness.
Loneliness is terrible. If you want
to see how terrible loneliness can be,
walk down forgotten city street and
look into the swimming eyes of the
gray old men as they go from door
to door seeking employment. Visit a
dowdy park at twilight or any of the
rendezvous of desolate men whose feet
have slipped. If you think they aren't
lonely, win their confidence with a
good cigar and talk to them of
"'home."
Wise old Sam johnson was never
wiser than when he told Boswell:
eff man does not make new ac-
quaintances as he passes through
life he will soon find himself alone.
A man should keep his friendships
in constant repair"
Napoleon did not follow Johnson's
advice. The secret of his life is not
in his utterances on great occasions
nor in his studied letters. 1t is found
in a chance remark, made when for a
moment his cloak of glamor slipped
from him.
"After ALL" he said, 81 care only
. for people who are useful to me, and
so long as they are useful" And
again, 81 have made courtiers, have
never pretended to make friends"
If Napoleon had so cared, he might
have made many friends and had he
kept his friendships in repair he
would not have died in a crazy old
shanty, alone.
One does not purchase devotion ex-
cept with the stuff of fellowship
that extra word of appreciation, Wis
it to the hospital, the assurance of
loyalty when the horizon is overcast.
1t pays to keep friendships in re-
pair. And the only way ever discov-
cred to have a friend is to be one

ALIENS BARRED OUT

Congress failed to provide addi-
tional protection for American work.
men at it's last session, but the adj
ministration is making up for that
failure by excluding aliens who are
likely to become public charges. Sen
timent was overwhelmingly in favor
of relieving workingmen from alien
competition during this period of I'M
employment, but the cumbersome
wheels of legislation were not fast
enough to turn out the necessary law
before the Seventy-first Congress ex-
pired. 1t appears, however, that a
substantial cut in immigration will be
made this year by administrative
means.
The law provides that aliens likely
to become public charges may be ex-
cluded, even though the national quo
tas under which their applications are
made have not been filled. President
Hoover took the attitude that every
laborer who comes to America during
the depression is liable to become a
public charge. In view of the wide
spread unemployment. foreigners can
not find work in the United States I'M
less they displace Americans by offer
ing to work for lower wages. For the
last five months aliens have been rig
idly examined as to their prospects of
self-maintenance The result has been
a drastic reduction in the number of
visas issued.
The White House estimates that
nearly 100000 aliens have been kept
out by this means. In 81 countries
having annual quotas of 8,466, only
1O,227 visas were issued during the
five months ended with February. This
is a reduction. of Sc per cent. Even
more drastic cuts were made in the
eligibility lists of smaller countries
under the quota system. Similar re-
suits have been obtained in the non
quota countries of this hemisphere
In five months the visas allowed to
Canadians were reduced to 1876 as
compared with 1897 for the same
period last year, a decline of 76 per
cent. During the same period Mexi-
can immigration was cut down from
nearly 10000 to 1874, reduction OF
95 per cent.

STYLES in FRAMES FOR
EYEGLASSES SUGGESTED
Those Most Becoming to the In
dividual Should Be Worn
BY DR.. J. Fred. Andreae.

by Dr. d. L reu. AIluTSde.
Today appearance count, and so one
does not like to disfgure himself with
unsightly glasses. If it is necessary
for an individual to wear glasses, he
should select that which is most be-
coming. 1t is indeed an art properly
to select the right style of frame for
each individual. The practitioner who
writes the prescription for the lenses
is perhaps the best judge as to the
style most becoming to the the indi-
vidual.
The power of the lens is sometimes
factor to be considered in prescrib-
ing certain types of frames. In chill
dren the most rigid frame is essential,
and with children style perhaps is not
quite so much Of factor, though it
should not, by any means, be over
looked. 1t should be remembered,
however, that the bones of the child's
nose are very delicate and constantly
growing. Hence it is necessary that
the frame be properly fitted and ad-
justed to the child so that no deform-
ity may result from faulty pressure
on the structure of the nose.
It can readily be understood from
all this that the proper selection and
fitting of spectacles is an art that re-
quires the services of specialist.
Fortunately, the changes in the design
of spectacles have tended to make
glasses more popular and have helped
remove the ancient prejudice against
them. No longer does the person. fas-
tidious about his appearance have to
worry, as he used to, about the spos-
sibility of obtaining glasses that are
becoming to him. In many instances
pair of glasses enhances rather than
detracts from the appearance. The
proper type of glasses may add dig
nifty and stylishness to the appear
ance. Such glasses are an asset to
many professional men, because the
wearing of glasses creates an impress
sion of intelligence; and, truly, is not
the wearing of glasses definite sign
of intelligence when eye sight correc-
ton is needed? The lawyer, the doc
tor, the optometrist and the banker
are usually pictured in drama and lit
erature as wearers of glasses.
1t is not our desire to emphasize
the style element in glasses as against
the proper fitting of glasses. Natur-
ALLY the fundamental, basic value Of
a pair of glasses always comes from
the proper fitting of the lenses. There
fore, in the last analysis, style is a
secondary factor; but as pointed out
above, is decidedly important fac.
tor.
