Astonishment held every one in its grip for some time, and Dr. Padapopper was to say the Presently, however, he recovered his aplomb and addressed the gathering as follows: "Ladies and gentlemen, reluctant as I am to admit it, what we have just witnessed and heard compels me to believe that he whom we have hitherto known as Nolubez is, indeed, none other than my long lost brotherpardon my dropping into verse.

It is evident that just as this accident has restored his memory of his early life, some similar cranial derangement, such as a large Brazil nut dropping from a considerable elevation on his head must have de-troyed it. What I am still perplexed to understand is, how a man whose brain is no larger than that of a chimpanzee, and the greater part of "whose cranium is occupied by large sinuses, can be a member of the Padapopper- species. This, however, is a matter which will bear further investigation. In the' fact, too, that after all the resources of my colossal intellect, to say nothing of my purse, have been brought to bear in vain upon his recovery, the accidental impact of his own bust upon his cranium should have resulted in his identification, there would seem to be some deeper esoterjc significance." Dr. Padapopper is bearing up well under the shock, but feeling that he needs a change and rest, is preparing to leave with his brother to visit the old Padapopper homestead and their boyhood haunts in Patagonia.

Bunnifacius Southwickedus suggested that a hooker, of Firpo's Argentine Hair Restorer might do the trick, an idea in which the Doctor heartily concurred. The suggestion being acted upon proved effective, and with the first words uttered by the patient all began to realize that the incident possessed more significance than they had suspected. These words were "Where am I Inferring that he desired information, Mr. Bunnifacius not only told him he was in Flatbush, but that he was Dr. Nolubez Reppopadap, to which he replied: "Quit your kidding, my name is Zebulon Pada popper, and I have been in the nut pickling business in Paniagua, Brazil, for the last ten years, but I don't recognize any of you except that old bird over there with the long whiskers-r-pointing at Dr.

They are built on extra springs and spare the ill traveler unnecessary jolting. Besides the service of transporting the invalid out of town, the Holmes Company is ready, day and night, for private ambulance work.

Mr. Holmes, who graduated from the Bellevue School for Nurses thirty years ago, has been in the private ambulance work since 1908 and enjoys the confidence of the most prominent surgeons in Brooklyn and New York. By Babe Biddlecomb The. semi-monthly meeting of the Committee of Fourteen of the Association for the. Recovery of Zebulon Padapopper and the Promotion of Padapopperism, held in Padapopper Hall, Flatbush, last evening, was an event which will linger long in the memory of those present and except the birth of Dr.

Padapopper, nothing that has transpired in the annals of, the Padapopper species is believed to have compared in magnitude and dramatic verisimilitude with the outstanding event of the evening, which was nothing less than the unexpected recovery of Dr. Padapopper's long lost brother, Nothing unexpected was anticipated when Dr, Reppopadap, Dr, Padapopper's faithful private sec.etary, arose, and standing before the bust of Zeb, on words of Phineas Padapopper, "Son Find Zeb," proceeded to address the assembled company upon the educational value of Long Island Artists Exhibit Twelve exhibitors, all members of the Associated Artists of Long Island, have 90 exhibitions on view at that organization's second annual art exhibition, which opened in the Patchogue High School on Wednesday afternoon. Among the exhibitors are Miss Caroline M. Bell, for years a resident of Mattituck; Miss Julia Wickham, of Cutchogue Mrs. Johanne Peterson Kendrick, of Middle Island; Raymond Perry, of New York City and Brookhaven; Leon Foster Jones and Lewis Palmer Skidmore, of Port Jefferson Melita Blume, Raymond Berry, Emily Wagner and Dorothea Rea, of Brookhaven; 'Frank Guttridge, Hazel Conklin, Charles Jackson, Bertha Taber and Ernest E.

About 150 persons attended the opening of the exhibit, which will continue until July 31. that Ayry rHiSHy DOC. crj 7 I 4 "AO ,0 Transporting the Invalid Transporting the invalid to the country is perhaps the most serious problem that presents itself at this time of the year to the family where unfortunately there is someone ill.

Sometimes the patient may be just recovering from an operation and the physician has ordered a trip to the mountains. In these days of almost uncontrollable traffic conditions it is not an easy task to convey a sick person over to New York to the trains. Then, too, the trip by train or boat may. prove too tiring to patient, who has only recently returned from the hospital. the third great obstacle is the difficulties encountered at the other end of the journey.

Even now, when pracj tically every country place has its own bus service, it is almost impossible to provide proper accommodations for the invalid. In. many mountain places it is a hardship for the patient to have to go over bumpy roads in a car that is not suitably equipped. A solution for this situation is the service offered by George Holmes, head of the Holmes Private Ambulance Automobile Company, of 63 Quiiicy Street. Mr.

Holmes, who is a graduate nurse, has so perfected his system that invalids may be removed directly from their own houses to their country destination, without any trouble, fuss or inconvenience. If the person to be removed is critically ill and needs to lie down, the ambulance is furnished. The six ambulances operated by the company are all powerful cars, and from the outside do not, in any. way, resemble the ordinary ambulance. In fact, they look like large limousines.

Inside, they are fitted up with a soft bed, wide enough for the patient to be thoroughly comfortable, and built on special springs, to resist all bumping. There are two chairs for members of the family and a nurse. If the family nurse is not there, Mr. Holmes is able to take care of that necessity. Electric fans and lights offer every comfort to the patient on his long journey.

If the patient Is not so ill as to require the ambulance, but is not well enough to Even the Dead Bow to Progress Just recently in Manhattan excavators who were working on a property unearthed a tombstone of. a woman who had lived in a former era in this city. The tombstone was mute testimony to the passage of time and the changes taking place not only in this locality but in every locality where humans live. It also bdre testimony to the short-lived aspect of what was to have been a permanent memorial placed for some loved one by others long since forgotten and lost in the passage of time. It proved, as such things need proof to those whose minds do not take them beyond the immediate present, that change does not halt even before the grave.

While some historic graveyards are immune, because of their immense historic significance, against the encroachment of progress, there is hardly a private grave-3ard that is safe from the trespassing of modern developments.
