antee thut one branch of prepared
ness, nt least, that of coast defense, ls
to be takvn cure off. Our coast de
tenaos have been declared by experts
to need far less improvement (han
tile army or navy. Their deficiencies
ure few and obvious.
It ls chiefly a iiuestton of big guns
-14-inch and lC-incli pieces able to
shool from 17 to lil milt's-to protect
our most Important harbors. Willi
them, of course, there must he provid
ed anti-aircraft guns, submarine
minos und big reserves of ammuni
tion. Tile most novel item of th IK hill
ls mi appropriation to purchase tho
wonderful invention of John Hays
I lammond. Jr., which directs and ex
ploder torpedoes by radio control.
The plan calls for the expenditure
of SS'J.OOO.OOO over a iour-yuiir period.
Por next yeur there ls to be ?pent
S22.O0O.O0O, which Js $10,000.000 wore
Ulan Inst year's appropriation. lt
isn't too much to pay for thc protec
tion gained. If any additional money
can be afforded, the public would like
to see the government provide a few
movable guns, nf the type mad'' faiv.il
ior in the European war. capable of
being transported by motor or rail to
any exposed point -dong the coast.

('hurlly ls ordinarily rtgurded as a
democratic virtue, even though Ameri
can millionaires huvo been giving it
a certain exclusiveness under the top
lofty term of "philanthropy." Wur
charities have beon especially demo
cratic. Itellef funds for wur-devas
tated countries have appealed to the
pockets of .the poor as well aa tho
rich, and received u penny us grate
fully as a chock for a thousand dol

Dut now war relief is to bc raised
nbovo the level of the vulgar crowd,
it is to bo made aristocratic, and even

conceived a plan worthy of the weal

is raising a fund of $300,000 on con

are te be only thirty givers. Mrs.
vanderbutit ls reported to he careful

among personal friends who. hy their
sozial standing, are rendered ellglblo
and worthy of such honor.
And honor there will bo-plenty of
it. For the money ts not to be turned
Into any common relief fund, lt is to
bo'given Into thc hands of royalty. A
personal representative of tho excln
btve thirty, perhaps Mrs. Vanderbilt
herself, is to go to Europe and for
mally present the money. In equal

to the queen of the Belgians-without

WOMEN AND TOBACCO
A secret of tho ages has been di
vulged by Dr. Albert H. Burr ot Chica
go, who in p. paper printed in the Il
linois Medical Journal malatains that
wemen live longrr than men, and that
the reason le, they do not use tobacco.
Dr. Burr nays that ^ho female,
though outnumbered at birth and by
Immigration,, reaches qld'age in far
greater numbers, th n a ?he malo; that
this disparity is due to cerraiu ex
Mnain MIIMIB capable of inducing
cardie-vascular presen il tty, to which
toxins the malo is obviously more
prone than the female; that the nic
otine habit answers every sp?cifica
tion of a cardiovascular toda, and is,
therefore, one of ?ho very significant
reasons why fewer men'than women
attain old age,
We are .told that the cigarette habit
la growing among women. Fortunate
ly, thia habit has not yet entrenched
itself io any extent among the women
o.f xour etty. Yet let us utte a 'timely
warning, ts thess ?5??95 wih> af? uf
ginning to look, upon the cigarette
with toleration because they think it
th favor among the .-women . of the
Smart Set.
, (According to Dr. Burr's theory, it
you. adopt the masculine custom ot
filling your syBtem with nicotine, you
will dio off aa fas*, aa tho men do. and
thus will you loee your feminine priv
ilege ot haytat the Ia?t /word!

Jesse Tu mell, also was employed at.

two men won a somewhat intimate
friendship of the millionaire farmer.
Turriell, who was '? party to ' the
transaction now recited hy Heard died
about-n'ne or ten years ago, and th?,
"?? Smith will was made before Tur
cell's death. Hence, ?rs ?Jr. Heard rs
calls tlie circumstances, tho will was
made about ten yea i's ago and there
was nothing secret about its-m-akins
at that time or since. Holli of these
gentlemen wltncsiad' ' the will, and
watched Mr. Smith r.'gn tho document.
N'eithtr of them, however, readsthe
will, or were made familiar with its
contents. That lt was Jim Smith's
will, however, they know frcin tho
foot that Mr. Smith told them so, and
to Mr. Hoard at least, he had dis
cussed the subject on mare than on?
occasion; certainly as* few times as
twice, cad maybe more.
The Story of the Will Just Told.
Mr. Henry Heard ls particularly
weil known throughout the enlire sec
tion of fae state where he now lives,
and In the community surrounding tho
Smith estate proportion. Among the
most prominent people there he ls
held In high esteem.
^A day or two ago, while discussing
lite Smith estate Irigation with a
ft lend of Sparts, a mutual frfend of
the late Farmer lim Smith, Mr. Heard
mentioned tho fnet that he bad wit
nessed a will made by Jim Smith, at
the Smith home in. Smlthonia, and
iii i*t thc document was signed by'.Mr
arniih before being yvjtneeseu by ."hi m -
Dclf an.i his broth?r-?n-law. From
Mr. H.eard's friend "JU? story .of the
Bmlth >ViU was leant cd. '))']
Whiten''the document' was drawn, or
by whom, Mr. Heard did not know
it least, he did not say. It was sighed
und witnessed et night, though, ill Mr.
Smith's room, or ?nice, at tho Smith
residence. ' / :
At least once ?prior to that n'ght
Mr. $mlth had told Mr. Heard ho had
fi will, and wanted him to witness it.
3n this particular night Mr. Smith
inked Mr. Heard -to come to his room
with him beff.ro going to. bed and,
an taking a se st at a table, Mr. Smith
drew out a ?egal document, ?y.???;
'This hi my will I want you to wit
\9TS it." Mr. Smith signed the docu
neht first, and the signature .was then
witnessed by Mr. Heard and Mr. Tur
;eli and was left in Mr. Smith's pos
session that night when the household
retired. - ... " }?&:'--ji <?
