A PINCH ON THE LEG

THEODORE ROOSEVELT wanted
l. TO be renominated for governor of
New York because ii was q stepping
stone to the Presidency. Senator
Thomas C. Plat, Republican boss of
the Empire state, had other ideas 7.
R. had antagonized Platt's Wall Street
friends and the boss decided that the
vice presidency, then regarded as the
graveyard for all political ambitions,
was the place for the Rough Rider.
Plat tried TO make Roosevelt prom
Use that If the New York Republican
caucus Endorsed him for the job, that
he would not decline il Reluctantly
7. r agreed, then added: "But shall
certainly urge them TO name some one
else
Al this point, Frank Plat, the boss's
son, interrupted, "An right, but IN
pinch you. If 1 see any signs Of your
getting up and decliningI'
In the caucus, Roosevelt did speak
emphatically against his candidacy for
vice president and urged that it be
given no support Then he sat down
on the speakers platform. Several of
his close friends gathered about him
and pleaded with him TO decline. For
a moment he wavered. Then young
Plat pinched him on the leg and
whispered, "Remember your contract
with the senator So Roosevelt kept
faith with the boss and against the
advice of his friends rose and accepted
the nomination.
But the joke turned out to be on
Pfatt after all. He thought he had

SHE WROTE A BOOK

TT APPEARED first as serial In an
L unimportant ne yspaper in the Ma
tional Capital She was pair $500 for
her story of some 10000 words-a
little better than hundredth OF cent
a word. The first book publisher 10
whom she submitted her novel turned
il down. But in March. 1852. Boston
company brought il out IN two vol
umes The first edition and then sec
ond were exhausted within q month.
Within six months she had received
$4,000 in royalties.
By the end of the year 295. 900 copies
had been sold. For years ii was an
American ''best seller and established
a record which no other novel came
near touching. II has been translated
into almost every language on earth.
The copyright ran out long ago but ii
score of American publishers who sell
about 5000 copies annually.
A play based on the book was pro-
duced in the summer OF 1858 and it
ran for ~ years-that is, Ii was al
ways being performed somewhere dur
ing that time, mostly by several com
panies. II had the longest run" in
theatrical history.
Although it Is low admitted that the
book was an exaggerated and distorted
picture Of the conditions which il por-
uayed, il helped bring on the greatest
civil war in history which cost over
S3,0o0,O000O0 and took the lives of
more than 100000 men.
The book was Uncle Toms Cabin"
and the woman who wrote il was Har-

CAKES AND WINE

THE tea which was served" ar the
L famous Boston Tea Party one De-
cember night in 1773 is commonly re-
garded as the most important beverage
in Revolutionary war history. But
something should be said for the cakes
and wine which were served by Mary
Lindley Murray il New York one Au-
gust afternoon ID 1776.
Washington had just been defeated
al the Battle of Long Island and, by a
mastery maneuver, had led part of his
army safely across the East river. Gen
eral Putnam's 400 Continentals were
also retreating but Ii seemed certain
that Sir William Howes quick move
ment would cut them of.
So confident was Howe that when
his companion, Governor Tryon, sug-
gested they stop at the home of Rob
ert Murray, a Quaker merchant, whose
wife was a Patriot sympathizer, anu
banter her about the rout of her -reb-
ell friends, the British commander
willingly agreed. Mrs. Murray and
her daughters were charming. They
gave Howe and Tryon and Sir Henry
Clinton and Lord CORVALLIS a warm
welcome. The wine and cakes the won-
en- served were excellent For two
hours the British officers fingered.
During those precious two hours.
Putnam and his ContinentaIs were
swiftly marching By the time Howe
took up the pursuit again. Putnam,s
4,oo0 were safely out of reach. They
joined Washington and the next day
helped him fight the Battle of Harlem
Heights, the only Revolutionary battle
won by the Americans in what is nol.
New York city.

Old Ideas Reversed !

The common belief is that the
terms "clinging vine' and sturdy
oak" are no longer applicable TO the

that perhaps they are still applicable

tom.

bill is being put through to pro-
vide a permanent anchorage here for
the Olympic, Admiral Dewey's famous
flagship.
Later, when funds are available,
Roosevelt hopes other ships that
brought fame and glory will be brought
here.
One of the old-timers which Roose-
welt wants to see brought here is the
wooden flagship Hartford with which
stout old Farragut broke through the
defense of the Mississippi during the
Civil war.
Another ship still existing although
in somewhat bad condition Is the old
Constellation, sister ship of the Con
stitution, which saw fighting in the
days when the Barbary pirates were
showing their disdain for the strug-
CLING young American republic.
The Constitution, restored to a state
closely resembling that Of Its best
fighting days is anchored at Boston.

Roosevelt has In mind would also in

clad ships to trace the development Of

Fire Prevention To
Be Emphasized By
Federal Housing
National Fire Prevention Week
October 6 IL, Meets
Approval

National Fire Prevention Week
which will be held from October to
the IL will be observed in every COM
munity Of the state and country with
the Federal Housing Administration
playing an important part in assist
ing in the elimination of fire hazards.
According to Henry w. Webb, Di-
rector for Maryland of the FHA, the
modernization credit plan as outlined
in the National Housing Act makes
it possible for individuals to make
repairs and modernizations to their
homes and business properties to
eliminate any fire hazards which may
exist. Then too, Mr.. Webb said, the
high plane of property standards
which are insisted upon by the FHA
in making insured mortgages on
homes tends to minimize the danger
from fire in new construction.
Representatives of the FILA have
been calling on the chiefs of the fire
departments in various communities
Of the state and offering the cooper
alton of the FILA to the fire execu-
tives during National Fire Prevention
Week. Many of the fire chiefs have
expressed their willingness to cooper
ate in the distribution of literature,
make speeches and otherwise public
ize the fact that modernization and re-
pair loans are available for the elimi-
nation of fire hazards.
Under the National Housing Act it
is possible to borrow $100 to $4,000
for the purposes of modernization and
repair. The loans are made by private
financial institutions and are repay
able in equal monthly installments up
to five years. The interest rate is 5
per cent discounted. These loans are
insured by the FHA against possible
loss to the lending agency.
Another provision of the Act pro-
vides for mortgages on residential
property. These mortgages are made
up to 80 per cent of the appraised
value of the property and are repay
able in equal monthly installments
up to 20 years. AS in the case of mod
ernization credit loans the funds
loaned are not government funds but
are funds supplied by private financ-
ial institutions. The FHA insures the
mortgages against loss of the unpaid
balance in the event of foreclosure.
