"GOOD. GRAY POET"
New York. Admirers of Walt
Whitman, whom many European crit
ics consider America's greatest poet,
nre planning to save his birthplace
at Hunting. L. I., ns a permanent me
morial. The home of the "good,
grsp poet" was recently sold at auc
tion, and members of the Whitman
Fellowship hope to save from destruc
tion. Whitman was horn and spent most
of his life In a little old-fashioned
house south of Huntington, In a sec
tion known ns West Hills. It was
well out In the wilderness when the
poet lived there.
Several years ago, when the Colo
nial Dames and Daughters of the
Revolution of Huntington wished to
memorialize Whitman by placing a
bronze tablet upon the side of the
house the owner Is said to have re
fused to permit them to do so. The
young women, led by Miss Young,
daughter of former Judge Thomas J.
Young, appealed to the highways
commissioners and received permis

the roadside, opposite the house. It

McComas says that of the 200,000
acres in wheat this year, a somewhat
larger percentage than usual Is spring
sown. This Is accounted for by the
fact that the early winter put an end
to fall sowing before it was completed
and for the further reason that the
early spring with occasional showers

MALIGNED CIGARETTE
FINDS A SUPPORTER
London. "If a cigarette ' Is more
harmful than a pipe, I believe Its
danger lies in Its handiness: though I
must say, speaking In my capacity
as a throat specialist, that remark
ably few cases brought before me can
be traced directly to smoking of
either pipe or cigarette."
This opinion was expressed by a
leading specialist while discussing the
evils of cigarette smoking In con
nectlon with the recent order by Gen
eral Smith-Porrlen forbidding the
troops at Aldershot to smoke them
while on duty.
"From the health point of view I
can see but one advantage the pipe
has over the cigarette," he contln.
ued. "The pipe acts as a filter to the
number of volatile poisons pyri
dine c ompounds which tobacco
smoke contains. In the case of a
cigarette these poisons go unflltered
Into the system.
"Considerable misunderstanding ex
ists about the poison nicotine. Tobac
co Itself contains only from I to 8
per cent of It in tobacco smoke there
Is only the smallest trace or none.
"Pyridine compounds, such as pyri
dine, plcoline. lutldlne and collodlne
nre the principal poisons In tobacco
smoke. They have the same action
as nlctonine. but are much less se
vere. But It Is very difficult to make
out a true bill against tobacco. It
does not do nearly as much harm as
might be expected."
