BKINK New Albany Pa SU'HSORIHE NOW. NO TRESPASS BE SURE TO GET THE RIGHT KIND. WE HAVE THEM AT 50c PER DOZEN. THE NEWS ITEM Clam Chowder Tommy Hewitt managed by living frugally In summer to pay his win ter's expenses at college. As soon as the school year closed, Tommy was off for parts unknown, and it would have Interested his friends mightily If they could have seen him living like Robinson Crusoe on an island off the coast of Maine, catching his own fish, setting his own lobster pots, planting vegetables in a tiny garden and making chowder out of a handful of clams, two potatoes and an onion. That the result of the last-named recipe was appetizing was proved by the fact that four people landing on the beach from a motor boat sniffed with appreciation. "It's a clambake," said the young est of the crowd, a girl in a white serge suit with a short blue reefer. "Oh. I'm so glad, for I am starved." Further progress showed a lire with a small iron pot set over the coals. A savory steam rose from the pot. "Hut there isn't much of it," said the girl. "'Who's been eating my soup?'" quoted a gity voice, and around tho corner of a sandhill came Tommy. "Oh," said the four intruders, star ing. And well might they stare, for while Tommy lived like Robinson Crusoe, he wore a snowy white middy blouse and white trousers, his fair hair was brushed up from his fore head and shong in the sunlight, and his strong young figure showed the effect of good training and outdoor sports. "We don't mean to intrude." said tho oldest lady of the crowd, "but we are exploring the islands; we didn't know this one was Inhabited." "And there's something the matter with our boat," said the girl in the blue reefer, "and being women, we don't know how to fix it." "Delighted," said poor Tommy. "Hut I hope you're not keen for chowder. There's only a taste. You see, I cook for one; but such as it Is, it's yours." He busied himself in serving the simple meal. And while he worked he listened. The girl's name, he dis covered, was Helena. "You enjoy living the simple life?" said tho oldest dame, whose name was Mrs. Griggs. Tommy nodded. "It's great," he said. "If you will stay for supper we'll have broiled fish and baked potatoes, and there's some lettuce left in my garden." "We'll stay," said the girl, "if you'll fix our boat." All that ai'ternoon Tommy tinkered and tho girl watched him while the three elderly ladies took a nap in the warm sand. Then Tommy went out and caught a fish, and broiled it over tho coals. "And I'm sorry to tell you, ladios," he said, as he served it, "that your boat Isn't mended, and that you will have to make yourselves comfortable for tho night. I shall bo glad to offer you tho hospitality of my tent. In the morning a boat stops here with provi sions. You can leave on that." Since there was nothing else to be done, they consented, and after tho fish was eaten Tommy and tho girl walked down the beach. They talked of \many things; and Tommy lay awake half the night, wondering how he had believed that life was worth living until now. He slept on the other side of the sandhill from the tent, and waked at dawn. After a plunge In the sea, ho went forth in his snowy white suit to faco the sunrise. The Rlrl was lip and came down to the beach to meet him In the still ness of the wonderful morning. "The sea Is llko a pearl," she whispered, "and the sky like an opal." Tommy was breathing quickly. "Look here," he said. "The boat comes early, and before It comes I've got something to say to you—some thing to say—to you." She smiled up at him frankly. "Look here," he said, again, "you're the most wonderful thing In the world. Yesterday I was a boy trying togo through college and living any old way In the summer to help meet expenses. Todny I'm a man, ready to light life to the finish to —get you. "I haven't a right to ask anything of you, but I've got to tell you this — that If you don't find the one man before I can come to you and fight It out with the rest of them, thnt you won't compromise nnd take some other fellow Just because you're tired of waiting for the real thing." Then because he saw Mrs. Griggs at the door of the tent, he went up the sands to meet her, and the girl was left standing where his burning words had beat upon her. Hreakfast was a feast at which the three older ladles ate heartily of lob ster, and at which Tommy and the girl ate nothing. "I'm not hungry," Helena insisted when urged, "and before the boat comes I want to walk to the end of the island—to—to—" And when they had rounded the curve of the sands and were out of sight, he asked: "Have you forgiven me?" "There Is nothing to forgive," the girl said, "and I shall never forget— because I shall ,*want to remember— and I shall want to—wait."

LAUGH WAS ON PROFESSOR Interchange of Wit Closed the Con troversy With the Honors More Than Even. At the banquet given by the class In salesmanship and advertising of tho Y. M. C. A., Department Secretary Miller told a little story of Ills Oberlin college days. It happened in the chemistry class, and the professor had just asked Mil ler to define gravity. The somewhat hurried definition contained the word "pull," and this irritated the instruc tor. He declared there was no such energy in nature as pull. Whereupon Miller undertook to illustrate his defi nition by lifting a chair to the level of his cbln and then thrusting It straight out. "Ono Is push; tho other pull," he ■aid. Here was the professor's chance. "I have long suspected." he said, "that Miller considers his chin the center of gravity!" The laugh that followed was loud and long, the professor leading, and then Miller subsided. But when the merriment died away a young woman In the front row caught the professor's attention. "I would like to ask a question?" she said. "Yes, Miss Myers, what is it.?" The young woman spoko up vory clearly. "I want to ask whether you would push or pull a radish?" And that closed the controversy.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. Underwear de Luxe. Jack London, tho novelist, has ho boed it for tho fun of the thing, and many are the yarns ho tells of that wild, free life. "On an evening of enrly summer." Mr. London said at a dinner in Los Angeles, "I sat with a group of ho boes on a quiet 'dump,' cooking a to mato-can of coffee. As we chewed our punk—punk Is bread, you know —in the twilight a hobo on my left side said; " 'Hey, Nosey, left off your under wear yet?' "Nosey, who was cutting up stumps for his pipe, answered: " 'Well, I shed a doormat Inst week, but I'm still wearln' a couple o' yards o' carpet'" Homa'a Where the Heart la. Mrs. Maud Balllngton Booth, who has Just .completed her annual prison inspection tour of the South says: "I believe emphatically that a wom an's place is home; but where is her home? Mine is all the way from Jlos ton to San Francisco and from Canada to the Gulf. Tho question Is not what a woman should be allowed to do, but can she do it properly? "In this reform —woman suffrage— home h the very watchword, for all the interests of the homo, and all the •vlls that affect the homo, aro largely dependent upon politics. Women not only should have the power to deal with these, but they could wield it effectively." "Thundar and Lightning Trip." A large photograph of Prince Henry of Prussia and Count Zeppelin, the former in the full dress of a Gorman admiral and the other in regulation "day dress," hangs In a room of a Hamburg hotel, where tho men posed for the picture. Under the picture is ■written: "Two famous admirals," and the record of the trip which the friends made in a Zeppelin dirigible balloon from Hamburg to Bremen and return, which, because of the furious storm encountered, has become known aa the "thunder and lichtnlng trip." i Physicians Asked Not tr F' Dying Indigent Patxtnts to Southwest Physicians in all of the eastern and southern states will be asked by the national Association for the study and prevention of Tul>ercnlo sis I<> stop sending con sumptatives in the last stages of tuberculosis and without sufficient funds to the sunt hwestern part of the United Stales in search of health, accord ing to mii announcement made to day by that association. While it is impossible to tell ac curately how many consumptives there are at present living in tliq state of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California and Western Texas, it is probable that l<> per cent, of the 6,000,000 people in lliis territory have tulterlocusis themselves or have come to the West because some member of their family has had it. Every year, the health authoiities estimate, not less than 10.000 consumptives hope lessly diseased come West to die. For these cases, the climate of this section nf the country can do noth ing and they are compelled to die in strange surroundings and thous ands o!'miles from homeand friends. The National Association further points out that from 50 to 60 per cent of these advanced cases are too poor to provide the proper nee cessaries of life and they are either starved to death or are compelled to accept t he meagre charity which this part of the country ail'ords. In an effort to stop the migration consumptives of this class to the Southwest, the, National Associa tion will ask physicians to be more careful in ordering patients togo j away, and will also ask railroads . to discontinue their practice of sell i iug ''charity tickets to those who cannot ail'ord to pay full fare. "No ' ennsumptati /es should goto Colo rado, California, or the West for ' their health." says the association, j "unless he has a good chance for i recovery from their diseas, and un ; less especially he has at least SI ,000 to spend for this purpose, over and above what his family may need. ' "Tuberculosis can be cured in any part of the United States, and , it is not necessary for a tuberculosis 1 patient togo West. Whenever possible, the National Association urges tuberculosis patients who have not ample funds togo to a sanatorium near home, and if they cannot do this, to take the cure of their own homes, under the direc tion of a physician."
