"to the conclusion that the markets established bv th borough president should he successful. The.- should be the basts for more pe-manent institu tions I hae come to these conclusions because of what I saw in Germany. Tor many years a laig percentage of the German population in the larger as well as the smaller cities has pur chased Its food In the open street mar kets. In the citv squires I found men and women who had come in from the country, surrounded lv their jyoducts and staying there from early morning until their wares were disposed of. To these squares the householders came with market baskets The housewife has the advantage of selecting her pur chases from a large and "aried stock and of being "sure that what she has selected 'will reach her kitcnen in Rood condition. She is also sure that what she has purchased is fresh from the field or orchard. "No matter how larce or how success ful the large market halls may be in these cities, the selling by the producer d'rect to the consumer rocs on. In various European cities It has been at tempted to concentrate such retail sell- ng in market halls built on the plan of the wholesale market halls, but these 'etall halls have been unsuccessful, and are b-lng abandoned. This may be doe in part, to the fact that the house- older does not feel the same assur ance of pitting fresh food In the halls 'at she does in the produce market. he will not bo to the retail hall for her cVi and staple groceries. She prefers in. other causes for the lack of success ! these ventures, but I have not en-r-wi upon them in m report. "The street market place accom ' sn.s the valuable purpose of en nuraglr.g the farmers to larger pro Hiirtion. They are assured of a con ant market for their output without dig ouligcd to depend upon the whole-i- ler This encouragement and the ac ceptance bv the public of these market" '1 lav the foundation.

Stories of women working in fields and in the streets, of little children knitting for soldier's, of the preparations for the grim struggle are told by this Southern woman. But Miss Berry's coming to Washington, in itself, would make an interesting story. She is the "Sunday Lady of 'Possum Trot," you will remember, the pioneer among Southern workers for the "mountain whites." And her inter view sheds interesting sidelights on the far-famed Berry School, near Rome, Ga. By J. R. HILDEBRAND. Just back from the European war zone, and on her way to her school near Rome. Ga., Mi&s Martha Berry stopped over for a few hours today In Washington. Miss Berry, the "Sunday lady of 'Possum Trot?" One and the same person. Of course ou remember "Possum Trot? Down near Lick Hog and Hell's Half Acre. Or, if you would find It on tho map, in the wild hills of north Georgia, nestling in tho recion known as Snake Nation. All of which sounds thrilling. And that was why the interviewer scarcely know whether to ask first .About the war zone, or about Miss Berry's further plans for that most interesting project, now bearing her own name, the famous Berry School. But she preferred to begin with the war Treated Most Courteously. "I was surprised at the stories in this country of German cruelty to women," she said. "I was treated most courteously, and so were all the other American women in the war zone that I know about. Of course, wc had to take chances. Our passports had to le In constant evi dence. There was no certainty of train schedules. And the accommo dations frequently were poor. But bv both Autnans and Germans alike traveleis, and especially wom en, were treated with kindness and consideration.' Pathetic, and at the s-ame time heroic, are tho stories Miss Berry tells of the women working in tho fields, driving teams, conducting liote s. and doing men's work in everj particular More touching .till, she said, was the frequent spectacle of children, six and seven vcars old, knitting sock to he sent to fathers and brothers at the front.

She told them Bible stories, they had heard before. That was on a Sunda afternoon, and the next SundRy thev came back, bringing others to heai the stories told bv the "Sunday Iady at 'Possum Trot." From these Sunday story houri grew a little school. then came the Idea that much more than reading and writing and arithmetic was need ed by these children, and. with an equipment of two hoes, a rake, two dull axes and a broken plow, the Industrial school vva& launched. The extent of the work now may be sensed from the fact that Miss Borry was in Europe to study the vocational and Industrial methods In vogue In Germany. Austria and Den mark when the war clouds gathered. From Carlsbad to Amsterdam, or dinarily, she said, is but fifteen hours. But it took her and her fol low travellers i-K days to make this trip, by way of Uepsig and Han over. "No one could give us assurance of connecting trains." she continued. "We were told how far we could be taken on ono train Then we gener cllv waited over night at a town until we found another train going in our d'reition next day. For one day w.5 were all locked up In a rall wav station at a small town near Elcpslg. Rut even then we were treated well. Hardships At Rotterdam. "The hardships came when w reached Rotterdam and had to stand in line daily to try and procure tickets for a home passage There were not sufficient accommodations in Rotterdam for all the persons who were awaiting an outgoing vessel, so for several nights we had to wend our weary way hack to Amsterdam to sleep. In the morning we would nrl.-" earlv and go over to Rotter dan again in quest of tho pree'om tickets home " I'nfortunatelv Miss Berry had teen but little of the schools she .expected to visit when ho-.tilrtles began. She is going dirctl back to Rome, da.. to prrpare for the winter work at her mountain school. From the dubious equipment with which the school started It now has developed until the work now is car ri d on in a J.P'.W plant and Miss Herrj makes, an effort to raise J25AO vc-iriv for its -upport "I fear for our funds this car," she said, "because the failure to realize what was expected on the cotton crop will affect many of those who contribute to the work." Miss Berry has given herself and her personal fortune to the enter prise. "I am more the Berry School LOCAL MENTION. T. F. V. Lunch, 1008 Pa. Ave, Is giving natrons tickets Virginia Thea. That's all.

Sept. 17 An albatross, the finest specimen ever seen in this port, according to authorities, was part or the carso of the British four-masted bark Annie, which came hero froxft Cuba recently. This was the first specimen seen here In many years of this species of mag nificent birds, once so common in the ex treme southern latitudes, and now seen so rarely that It is believed thev will have disappeared entirely within a few years The albatross brought In by the Annie was stuffed and mounted by tho crew, after it hart diopped exhausted on tho deck. It welched fourteen pounds and was more than four feet in lencth from the tip of his tall. The wins had a spread of sixteen feet. The albatross fol low ert the Annie for several days. Ho dropped exhausted into the seat on sev eral occasions His wines were seen to crumple up one day. and he fell on to the deck of the bark The sailors made a dash to capture the bird, but hastily seeking a place of safety, when he wobbled freelv to his feet, and made a vicious lunse for the nearest man The crew aware, of tho abtlitj of such a bird to snap ofT a man's arm with his powerful beak, which Is as sharp as a razor, did not care to take any chances with their prize, however weak he appeared to be After lunclnfr at several of the sailors, the bird dropped back on the deck and died within a few minutes The sailors wanted to cut up the wlnRs, and utilize the lonr hones which they contain for pipe stems, but the officers Intervened and caused the bird to be mounted.

Persons who nre returnlriK to the city from their va cations aie telliiiK the usual bear and tlsh stories that have pone the rounds for iiKcs. but an unusual tale has been brouRlit to tow n by J. B. Scott, a lawyer of this lity and NewburR. Mr. Scott en tcrtalned a Rroup of his old class mates nt the Yale Club the other day for half an hour by tellliiR them how. deep in the Catskill woods, he learned some- thhiR about "the common law of sum van countv.- which he had never seen in anv law hook. The lawyer was spending his vacation at a flshinR club on the Orchard Eake Trout Preserve, cluht miles from EivinR- stone Manor in Sullivan county. He has bicn the club's counsel for year's, and U fnmillar with everv aero of the club's domain. It was while he was trampinR over the Catskill ranges early In AuRust that he was startled by the souna 01. a tret, falllnir nhout half a mile away. With Mr. Scott were several other members of the club, and the assistant Ramckeeper of the preserve. The law ver expressed the opinion that somo woodsman must bo tryinR to steal a irw ami hn nroDosed to investigate. The fishermen went to a meadow bor derinR the woods, and in the distance they saw trnioko curling from the top of the forest. They cut into the woods again and went as fast as possible to the smolderliiR fire.

"Got my initials on the tree." "What Initials?" asked the lawyer. not grasping the situation at all. "I found this tree some time ago." said the insn. still at a distance. "I don t want the tree, but I want tho honey. It's my Initials, and therefore lfs my honey, don't yo see?" The lawyer, who had visions of an automobile trip to I,lvlnston .Manor tor a court summons, became Interested and braved the bees. He went up to the smoking tree and looked for him self. He found that the woodsman, after cutting down the tree, had built a fire near 1 hole In the trunk, where the bees had their hive, and that he had then cut out the section containing the hive. "It's like this," the woodsman ex plained, through the peach basket net ting. "Lp here in Sullivan county a man s got a riRht to all the honey he can find. These wild bees don't belong to nobody, ind the woodpeckers cats them like crumbs. The man who spota a tree in which there are bees Rets the honey If he cuts his Initials in tho tree I cut my initials In the tree In the sprlnR. and I flRured that there was quite a lot of honey by this time, and I didn't want anybody else to rob me of it." "But what about the tree?" asked the lawyer. "That belongs to you, of course, and I hain't got no rlRht to the tree, but the honey's mine. If there's going to be any fuss about this I'll buy the tree from you or else you'll huv the honey from me. That's my right, and you can't keep m from having what's right," The lawyer took a sensible view of the unwritten law and told the woods man that he could have the honey, and that there wouldn't be any charge for the tree this time. "But don't let me catch you on these premises again," he warned the woods man. "We have signs all over the place explaining that trespassing Is for bidden." "They ain't got nothing to do with bees." retorted the woodsman. Bagpipes Are Not Music, Report I.OXDO.V. Sept. 17.
