IMPORTED NUTS COST U.S. MILLION A WEEK Great Quantity of the Native American Walnuts Go to * Waste. Do you know that the United States spends on the average of $1,000,000 a week for imported food nuts, While millions of . bushels of our native American walnuts go to waste every season? writes H. R. Mosnat in the Thrift Magazine. So if $1,000,000 a week is a joke the Joke is on. us, because we spend it and the other-countries get it, and many people say that our native American walnut is the best nut to eat that grows. Candy manufacturers and bakers need no longer hesitate to use native American walnut meats because of an uncertain supply. That is now a thing of the past. The United States Department of Agriculture states that there are 1,000,000 acres of idle land mostly in the East and central West it only for growing trees, and much of this now idle land is suitable for hardy nut trees, ipcluding the black walnut. Besides, eaich of the corn belt States has many acres of very rich land, but subject to overflow, and 50 low as to be practically worthless. Such lands are the natural home of the black walnut. -— Great men live much longer than mediocrities, according to a noted au- thority on vital statistics.

Special Qspatch (o The Star.. BALTIMORE, September 1.—More than $150,000 has bYeen collected in Baltimore during the past yvear by bogus charity fund operators, ac- coling to K. Milton Altfeld, assistant State’s attorney, who is considering an investigation following the ar- rest of Gordon L. Barnhill, trading as the Atlantic Publishing Gompany, and John Ryan, an employe. They are alleged to have organized collection agencies - for raising funds in the name of charity. According to Mr. Altfeld, the bogus callections have extended over a period of three years. He believes the investigation will show that more than $160,000 has been collected year- ly by & number of operators working in_this eity. Police Commissioner Charles D. ither said that for the last three rears he has been making efforts to round-up the bogus collectors. He added, however, that the police have been hampered in their work by the fact that the bona-fide charities often encourage promiscuous collectors. ometimes we have investigated street carnivals, excursions and other events held in the names of certain charities, or have examined the ac- tivities of suspicious collectors, only to find that they were actually author. ized to raise the money. On many of these occasions we have learned that the collector or the man who engi- neers the scheme for raising the fund gets 90 per cent of the money, while the charity gets only 10 per cent. D. C.

Deutscher Verein Utilizes Ground‘ From the Kansas City Times. One of: the Berlin parade grounds where ex-Kaiser William used to re- view his crack regiment has been taken over for the training of police | dogs by the Deutscher Schaeferhund ! Verein. There are 33,000 members | of the society, which has branches | in virtually every town and city in | Germany, and where weakly meets | are held to teach the young dogs new tricks and at the same time | keep the old dogs in trim. Most mem- bers of the organization are private | individuals who really have nothing | at all to do with police work, but take an interest in the drills and | competitions merely as a matter of | sport. After the élementary grade is passed most of the dogs are put through a course designed to pro- tect their masters from attack by man, either in the street or in their master's home. Some dags, too, are taught to attack imaginary criminals, who are usually young men engaged | as dummies for this work, and who | wear enormous padded suits which | give sthem the appearance of big fat men or deep-sea divers all ready | tor work.
