INHE NatlOn S CdplIdl Is mecca
for hobby-riders and can boast
more varied and interesting
i collections than any other
place In the country.
This is the opinion of o. c. Light
ner of Chicago, publisher of Hobbies,
who was recent visitor here.
If the family doctor suggests that
you start collecting stamps, or tells
you to get to work on toy railroad.
or writes on a prescription blank the
name of a dealer in early American
black glassware. don't think he is
absurd. For probably he knows you
we'll enough to be aware of your likes
and dislikes and is merely ordering
you to ride a hobby. Mr.. Lightner
says.
And If you follow any one of his
suggestions, you would have a fellow
lobbyist in President Roosevelt. whose
well-known stamp collection is only
one of his hobbies; or in Rev. Ed
mund A. Walsh, S. j., dean of George
town University, whose toy railroad,
the making of which occupied his
spare moments for several years. is
considered one of the most ingenious
in the city; or in that busy legis-
lator, Representative Hamilton Fish,
whose hobby for the last IS years has
been the collecting of old black glass
ware. the most difficult OF all early
American glassware to find.
Hobby collecting is no longer
fashionable platitude, for many nerve
specialists now claim that if every
one had a hobby there would be fewer
nervous breakdowns. And as the re-
suit, the country has become hobby
conscious as never before. with all
kinds of collectors shows being held
throughout the year, with all types
of people exhibiting the odd things
and beautiful things they are saving.

The final account of Mrs. Margaret H.

his will, was approved by the Orphans

Leaving all real and personal prop

pointed out that the late legislator left
$2.l46 in cash assets. but reductions
for debts lowered that sum to $l85.
The family estate at Berwyn Heights,
Md, including personal property, was
appraised at $8.425.
The appraisement, however, was

Comdr. Earl Winfield Spencer, jr..

which operate from the flight deck OF
the Ranger. During his aviation Ca

Born In Kinsley, Kans., September

His aviation career began September

DIVIDING A HERD

have not beard it. Anyway, it is a neat
problem in trick mathematics.
= q farmer died possessed of herd of
II cows, of which he willed his wife one
half, his son one-third and his daughter
one-ninth. The executor of the will was
stumped, but called a mathematical shark
to his aid. with this happy result:
A cow was borrowed from a neigh
Dor, making Is. The widow was given 8,
which was one-half; the son got SIX which
was his one-third; then the daughter re-
ceived 2, or one-ninth. This totalled II,
the number to be divided, while the bor-
rowed COW was left. She was returned to
her owner. and everybody was satisfied
