more contagious. Around the Gulf
Of Mexico and in Florida, Louisi-
ana and Texas, the disease spreads,
although feebly.
Almost Wiped Out
In former years in Hawaii there
were over a thousand lepefs and
about q third Of them had become
infected in the family circle. BY
rigorous segregation in an institu-
ton of the patients, the disease
has been nearly entirely wiped out
in the islands.
These methods Of segregation
have made leprosy a rare disease
compared to what it was in the
Middle Ages. Indeed, leprosy may
be said to be important in history
as the cause of the free hospital
movement. The first hospitals es-
tablished in Europe were lazaret-
tos or leper houses. Previously
lepers wandered the countryside,
living in miserable huts, FAR away
from other habitation and warning
of their approach by ringing q bell

gate them in hospitals began, 1t

ENGRAVING TOCO
ON EXHIBITION
Historical Collection Will
Go on View Tomorrow
at Smithsonian.

A collection Of 125 CONSTITUTIONAL
engravings will go on display tomor-
row in the Historical Section Of the
Smithsonian Institution for a period
Of two weeks, in connection with the
celebration next Saturday Of the l5lst
anniversary Of the signing Of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
The engravings are the property of
Herman H. Diers of the Bureau OF
Public Roads of the Department Of
Agriculture and are evidence Of his
lifelong interest in the early history
OF the Nation
Mr.. Diers was 5-year-old school,
boy, fascinated by George Washington
when he began collecting historical
pictures IS years ago. He cut up his
family's library books, cut Washing
tons pictures out OF school books and
would have invaded the public library.

and I was whaled plenty on account
of George Washington, too."
Filled Dozens Of Note books.
As his knowledge of history In
creased, he began collecting pictures
on other aspects Of Colonial America.
He filled dozens of notebooks with his
clippings. Ten years ago he began
to organize his collecting activities,
and today has more than 1000 steel
engravings OF figures and scenes from
early American history.
Mr.. Diers has rumnfaged in almost
every old book or print shop from
here to New York. His longest search
was for likeness Of William jackson,
the secretary to the Constitutional
Convention Of 1889. He found him.

Shop, on Fourth avenue near Fifteenth
street in New York City.
George Washington portraits were
the easiest to find and even most fire.
quently represented in his collection,
partly because of his childhood enthu-
siasm for the First President, partly
because there are extant more than
10000 different likenesses Of him. Mr.
Diers has 200 Washingtons,. no two
the same.
Seven Delegates Missing.
His collection, to be complete. needs
only the seven portraits which have
never been found OF seven delegates
to the Convention. Mr. Diers has
snesking hope that he will be the man
to find them. Except for them, every
important American OF the period is
represented. Each picture has been
mounted on white mat. i inches by
IA inches. with black borders and titles.
Mr.. Diers' collection is not an ex-
pensive one. The price Of a single
item seldom exceeded SO, but for 10
years he has spent at least an hour
a day on his bobby, buying, identify
ing and mounting his discoveries.
Il am not through yet" he says
Il think I'll see what I can find

While Mr. Hymes had sound open
ing club bid, Mr.. Lightner's raise to
two is rather questionable. However,
it did not affect the result. Mr..
Schenken showed his great strength
by the cue bid of three clubs. Mr..
Jacoby now saw that he had an ideal
hand for this buck-passing bid, and,
accordingly, instead of merely bidding
three hearts. he jumped to four and,
as mentioned, Mr. Schenken accepted
in full and jumped to the slam.
The jack of diamonds was opened
and as Mr. Schenken put down his
hand he said to Mr.. Jacoby, you
ought to have an ace somewhere"
There was naturally nothing to the
play Of the hand, since declarer simply
won the opening lead, knocked out the
ace of trumps and spread the hand.
At the other table the East player
also opened with one club and his
partner also gave single raise. How
ever. North overlooked the fact that
his hand was ideal for cue bid in the
opponents suit. Instead, he simply
jumped to four spades. South, holding
singleton spade and only an ace and
queen, could hardly f1nd a raise and
the slam was missed.

WESTINGHOUSE was working In
w his fathers shop one day trying
to think up an idea for stopping trains
quickly. He had recently journeyed by
train from Schenectady to Troy, and
had been involved in locomotive COL
lision. The engineers had not been
able to stop their trains quickly
enough.
While thus occupied Westinghouse
was approached by young woman
selling magazine subscriptions. He was
not interested and the girl turned
away, disappointed.
Westinghouse relented, pulled 81
from his pocket and took a subscrip-
tion He scanned the sample magazine
she had given him. Suddenly his eyes
focused on an illustrated article.
1t described the building Of the Mont
Gents Tunnel, then being drilled in
Switzerland. The article said that
compressed air was used to operate a
rockdrill, 5000 feet distant from the
compressor! Westinghouse was elated.
Here was the very power he needed for
his airbrake.
BY the fall of 1881, $3.50 locomotives
were using his brakes and 10000 cars
were equipped with them.
