FLED FROM RAMAPOS ^Woman Dumb and Youngsters Never Ha.d Seen Comb, Pencil or Papsi^—> Came From Place Inhabited by Halfbreeds. Nynck, N. Y.—.Judge Charles W. Haughey, a member of the towu board of Orangelowii. brought to the atten tion of the board* the con&it’qn of a family named Tliompson, consfsting of father, mother aud four children, ref ugees from tlie luteripr of the Itaniapn mountains, who took possession of a tumble-duwn shack on the edge of the Pear! river near here recently. Judge Haughey said that the couple and the two ehler children, a boy of ten and a girl of seven, appeared to be suf fering from a skin disease due to lacft of water. Their liair was matted and they presented a wild appearance. Came From Ramapos. In his report Judge Haughey said that lie found tlie niun sitthig on the doorstep of the shack. After much per sistent in(iuiry the man finally said that he and his family came from the intei'ior of tlie Uaniapo mountains, nortInvest of Sr Ttirn. The interior Is a dt\*!olate phiv.t. (nhai)ited hy a Tow halfhreed Indians, nioutisiiiiiurs and “Jackson whites.” „ Tlionipson’s only garments were a blue shirt, a pair of old trousers held up by a twiste»i rope and a pair of old slu>L‘s. .ludge Haughey was unable to find out the man’s first name after half an hour. He learned that none of the ehil<lren had ever l>een to school nor had th.ey ever seen pencil or paper. The two youngest children were a Iw.v of five and a girl of four. They were alniobt naked. After cor‘3l(leral)le coaxing Judge Haufehey induce<J Thompson to call his wife, who had remained inside the hut during most of the interview. Woman Has No Name. “Woman, come here,” cried the man. A frat(,'huddled form emerged, clad in a black wrapper, worn through at the elbows and knees. The woman’s €» \/J, Took Bossesslon of a Tumoie-uewn * Shack. hair was matted. Thompson swore at her, and after she had given several laughs Jie said she was dunib. Be told Judge Hajighey that his w*4fe and chil dren had never had a comb so far as be could remember. After Judge Haughey made his re port it was decided that it would bf best to remove the family io an insti tution. I In the memdry of the oldest inhabi tants of 'this section this is the first time that any joi the inhabitants of the inner recesses of the^Ramapo moun tains have ever issued forth to civili zation. From time to time lawbreakers have sought the wild mountain trails when pursued by the police, but once they entered the mountains they^ have seldom been heard ol The residents of this secti<m never go into the In terior^ knowing the character ot the gypsy-like Inhabitants. TWO WIVES AT 70 TOO MANY New York Judge Tells Aged BijEiamlal He Had Better "Foi^et Women.** New York.-—Roscoe Belch, sevraty, of Woodhaven, • formerly of Easton, Pa., where he held the position of county auditor, pleaded guilty to big amy in the Kings county court Belch admitted that be had a wife when on August 7, 1919, he married Augusta HMmund. Reich leaned heavily on a .cane. Judge Martin, |n ■UBpendiBg smtence on the aged pris* oner, said: **You are surely old enough to real ize that any man has all he can do to take care of one wife. While you might be admlret] for your courage^ you . cor.olnly ciumot be commended for your common sense. My advlc4 te you is to forget your w<hu«i.** ^ Prohibition of Weed Would Mean 0ig Finanajal Loss to Aliied Trades. WHO USES THE MATCH? The Smoker Mainly—Also Responsible for Spending Hundreds of Millions Annually for,,Licorice, Sugarf^ Coal, Cigar Boxee^ Tin Foil, Ete. By GARRET SMITH •Got a match?” How many times a day is that Ques tion asked in these United States? How many more times is the question unnecessary becnu.se most pockets are kept well supplied with the nsefui little article? Anyhow, inasmuch as it is estimated that there are 30.000,000 tobacco nsers la 'the country, we Would guess that the answer to that question would run into the hundreds of mil lions. For if it weren’t for the smokers in these days of electric lights how many matches would be used? A pretty small proportion of the . number of these “sticks of blazes’* produced in the country every year. Abolish to- badto and the match business wx>uld be shot to pieces. But the match business is only one of a dozen or more allied industries which derive large revenues directly or indirectly from the tobacco trede and would suffer heavily if national pro hibition of tobacc' were to go into .-\s 3-iRe of c, r reformers would have it. The annual sales of tobacco products, based on retail prices, is es timated at $1,937,000,000. Of the cost of producing and selling this quantity of cigars, cigarettes and other forms of the weed, some hundreds of million dollars are ptiid out for other things than the raw tobacco and labor of m^ing it up. $25,000,000 a Year for BoxeS For example, the tobacco trade con sumes each year 4rf,OOO,0OO pounds of licorice. pounds of sugar, both used iu flavoring tobacco, and 650,000 t«>ns of ^oal. It *is estimated timt the value of wooden cigar boxes used is |25,<)<)0,fiC0 a year, quite an item to the lumber business and to manufacturers of the boxes. In making these boxes 550,000 pounds of nails are employed. Other large item.s tised in making and pre paring tobacco for sale are tin and lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la bels, coupons, etc^ involving the print ing trade extensively. Then building eontractore and manu facturers of machinery are largely in terested. Investments in plants and machinery employ.^ in ^n»anafactur- ing tobacco are estimated at |102,000,- 000. Replacement, np-keep and inter est on the investment make no small sum annually. And let realty men note there are approximately 825,000 tobacco farms in tlie cf.untry, with a total estimated valuation of $160,000,000. Of further in terest to estate men is the fact that there are 700,000 retail establish- -ments selling tobacco, involving a total rental and up-keep Impossible to esti mate, besides the large amount of of fice space occupied by administrative branches of the general business. - The Insurance men, too, have their share of the pickings. The tobacco bus ness pays out annually $7,000,900 in premiums in the United States. And there are the railroads who reap revesue from 2,210,000 tons of tobacco products every year. As for the advertising business, here again It is Impossible to form any estimate of th« enormous annual outlay. The prohibition of tobacco would also knock a good-sized hole In the receipts of the United States gnfvemment. The internal revenue receipts^ from tobacco for the fiscal year 1920 amonnt- ed to $295,809,355.44; Customs duties provided an additional $25,000,000 In round figures, making the total revenue return to the governmdht $320,000,000. Influence on Popular Sentiment It is this Interlocking of the tobacco business with so many other Interests, and the vast amount of financial loss that would be involved in the abolition of tobacco that is one of the most se rious aspects of the proposal to pro hibit the sale of tobacco, a proposal, however, which has little support by public sentiment' if the newspaper edl-. tors of the country ire correct in their estimate of that sentiment. In a poll of the editors made recently by the Tobacco Merchants* Association of the United Stater., through the Press Service Company of New York CSty, 95 per cent of the TMT editors who replied expressed the opinion that the people of their communities were op posed to any law against tobacco. As these editors represent some 80,000,000 readers the results form a pretty gen eral test of natlM^l <q||nio«v, Ib their remaiits accompanying their replies, many of the editors expressed It as their opinion that the oppos'tion of their communities to the abolition of tobacco was based to some extent at least on the damage such change would do to the business interests, of the condmunity. This wa*s partfcularly true in^the tobacco growing states and centers wherO'there were large tobacco plants. But when the extent of the buelnesr Involved In the alMcd Interests of the tobacco trade is- cmisldered. as ati^ve briefly outlined.
