Aid to Nation. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was a little boy and went NKW YORK. When anil riding carriage riding for this was before the days of motorcars up around the northern end of Manhattan Island he used to pull up his pony or have the coachman stop the horses when he got to the top of a high knoll not far from Dyckman street anil situated between Broadway and the Hudson river, and he would say to himself: Tills Is a view that everyone In New York ought to see. And some day I'm going to buy all this land hereabouts and give it to the public as a park, so that everyone may enjoy It. lie was right about the view, for from that knolj one mny see far up the Hudson even to the crest of Storm King mountain on a clear duy-aaway southward to the bay, and far eastward to Long Island, and even to the Atlantic sweeping beyond that And now he has made good his boyhood resolve, for he has made formal offer to New York city of acres of ground in the Dyckman region for use as a public park, provided the city will do certain things about connecting It with a certain other public open spnce, that of Fort Washington park, which lies to the southward along the river front Mr. Rockefeller purchased three large parcels of property last fall on the far upper west side. The southernmost and most valuable, was the estate of C. K. G. Billings, the noted horseman. This contains a magnificent residence as well as large stables, garages and a swimming pool. Next was what is known as the Hays property, and above that the Shaefer land. This latter property touches Dyckman street at Its northeast boundary. nd 50-od- d Merry Youths Planted Bones to Make a Story PAUL. STpolice of Whose skull? That Is the question. John Heller, chief of Shnkopee, Minn., would like to know this, for Heller Is perplexed, In this town, perhaps even a trifle flabbergasted, by recent developments. where Heller has been exercising watchful waiting for many moons, there was found a few days ago a leering skull and bones, all pointing to death and constituting basis for an investigation. From then on, according to the best Information available, the disciple of Sherlock Holmes has followed his pursuit, stalking ancient clues to fruitless end. One day found him so busily engaged that an energetic telephone central was unable to announce any greater success than we are trying to find him. Back of Charley Hartmanns butcher shop the find was made by pedestrians. Ileller began work on the case Immediately. About the first thing he did was to take charge of the skull and bones, and citizens said he turned them over to the coroner, Dr. H. W. Belter. Doctor Belter declared: I havent got them, which lends ground to the belief that the skeleton, equipped with as many leg, arm, wrist and finger bones as It could pick up, has reassembled Itself and Is waiting for a night propitious for a gambol on some tin roof. Meantime, to keep history straight and to prevent even the shadow of blot from falling on the police chiefs record, It Is declared that the skull was a human skull, but It came from a college cadater. As' for the bones, they Included five ribs of a cat, the thigh of a Plymouth Bock pullet, the left foreleg of a dog and two vertebrae from a cow. All were placed In the ground back of the butcher shop by jolly youths who wanted to make a story. And they made It a $2,500 There Must Be but One Price for Government and for Public, Says Wilson Justice Is Keynote of Appeal. , Washington. President Wilson 'appealed to the country's business in teresta Wednesday to put aside every selfish consideration and to give their aid to the nation as freely as those who go to offer their lives on the battlefield. The presidents statement follows: "The government Is about to attempt to determine the prices at which It will ask you henceforth tor furnish va rlous supplies which are necessary for the prosecution of the war, and various materials which will be needed In Ihe Industries by which the war must be sustained. We shall, of course, try to determine them JuBtiy and to the best advantage of the nation as a whole; but Justice Is easier to speak of than to arrive at, and there are some considerations which I hope we shall keep steadily In mind while this particular problem of Justice is being worked ont Promises Just Price. Therefore I take the liberty of stating very candidly my own view of the situation and of the principles which should guide both the government and the mine owners and manufacturers of the country In this dlf flcult matter. - A Just price must, of course, be paid for everything the government buys. By a Just price I mean a price which will sustain the Industries concerned In a high state of efficiency, provide a living for those who conduct them, enable them to pay good wages, and make possible the expansions of their enterprises which will from time to time become necessary as the stupendous undertakings of this great war develop. Must Pace tbs Pacta. We could not wisely or reasonably do .less than pay such prices. They are necessary for the maintenance and development of Industry, and the maintenance and development of Industry are necessary for the great task we have In hand. But I trust that we shall not surround the matter with a mist of sentiment Facts are our masters now. We ought not to put the acceptance of such prices on the ground of patri. Patriotism has nothing to do with profits in a case like this. Patriotism and profits ought never In the present circumstances be mentioned together. II is perfectly proper to. discuss profits as a matter of business, with a view to maintaining the Integrity of capital and the efficiency of labor in these tragical months, when the liberty of free men everywhere and of industry Itself trembles in the balance; hut It would be absurd to discuss them as a motive for helping to serve and save our country. Patriotism leaves profits out of the question. In these days of our supreme trial, when we are sending hundreds of thousands of our young men across the seas to serve a great cause, no true man who stays behind to work for them and sustain them by his labor will ask himself what he Is personally going to make out of that N. Y. Mrs. Saldee Dlsbrow Hurd, wife of Robert C. Hurd, PVWLING, In the real estate business, recently won a verdict of $2,500 In the supreme court at Poughkeepsie In her action for $20,000 damages against the Astor Hotel company, New York. The action was tried before Justice Platt " and a Jury, and was brought as the result of alleged humiliating treatment the plaintiff received from the hotel management after embracing her husband at the door of her room on the evening of August 17 last Mrs. Hurd was at the hotel with a woman friend. Her husband arrived at the hotel, and coming upon him unexpectedly as she opened the door of her room she threw her arms about his neck and kissed him. He stepped Inside the room for a minute and later emerged, going by way of the elevator to the first floor, but returned gin. When they came out and walked down the corridor they were approached by David Mitchell Pepper, assistant munnger of the hotel.

From London comes a warning to women who have pet dogs. Since the start of the war many English women have found that they were losing their hair. A West End hairdresser, observ-Ing that he had had more cases of fall- Ing hair in the last year than ever before, regarded worry and grief aa the cause, but a physician advances an- other theory: This explanation la partly correct, The depressing says this physician. effect on vitality of fear, anxiety and rrow reacts with serious consequences on the hair. But in my opinion the epidemic. If there is an epidemic, is to be traced mainly to Infection from dogs. Every hair expert knows that In nine ont of ten cases the premature loss of hair Is due to dandruff! That condition often result! from the presence of microbes whose great source Is the dog. Ordinary cleansing with soap or shampoo preparations is of practically no use, .but simple antiseptics, such ns boric ointment, usually bllnf about a speedy cure. As a preventive measure dispense with the dog." The fact is that those who have fixed war freight rates have taken the most effective means in their power to defeat the armies engaged against Germany. When they realize this we may, I take it for granted, count upon them to reconsider the whole matter. It Is high time. Their extra hazards are covered by war risk insurance.
