rain he allowed them TO remain at the
aFmory, and detailed Capt. z. J. Wood

depot and telephone the arrival of the
train bearing the veterans. AS the

QUAINTEST VILLAGE IN THE LAND

Queer Little Town in Ohio Where Eng
lish Is Never Spoken.
There is one village in the United
States where no modern improvement
has ever penetrated, where not the
faintest echo of the rush ana overworl
of modern life has ever sounded,
where American newspapers are not
read nor the English language spoken.
This is the little German village of
Glandorf, in Putnam county, OHIO,
where 600 frugal and Industrious in
habitants have lived for years in
contented and idyllic simplicity.
In the building of the town, as in
everything else about it, the people
have held very closely to the customs
of Germany, from where it's foun lers
came. There is but one street, and
that extends for over mile, general
ly north and south. Quaint, durable
and homelike are the houses scattered
along either side, interspersed here
and there by the stores. All the resi-
dences have spacious and well-kept
dooryards. Back and away from this
principal street-yet so near that the
laborers can be seen and heard at
their work in the fields-stretCh the
thrifty farms OF the German country
folk. 1t is not an uncommon sight to
see women and girls at work In the
fields with the men, and the whole
population shows that rugged health
so characteristic of the race.
Among themselves the people con-
verse almost entirely in the German
language, and, indeed, there are a
great many in the community who can
speak no other. They are generous
and clever, and the stranger who goes
among them always finds hospitable
welcome, and is impressed with their
simple kindness. Nowhere can be
found a more devoutly religious peo-
pie. They are of the Catholic faith,
and possess one of the finest church
buildings in Northwestern Ohio.
This edifice has in itself been means
of making Glandorf famous, because
o. it's size and the beauty of its archi-
lecture Although most OF the work
OF construction, the quarrying of the
stone for the foundation and the haul
ing of the material was given gratis
by members of the parish, the cost
outside of all this was over $4,000.
The structure is of brick and is orna-
mentod with white sandstone.
Back of the church is the convent,
and all of the work of the farm con.
nected with it is looked after by the
sisters.
The people of the parish are very
strict in their church duties.

Misses s. Shirt Waist.

Waists with deep tucks at the shoul'
ders are in the height of style for
young girls, as they are for their eld'
ers. Pique, duck, chambray, madras
and Oxford make the favorite washa.
BILE fabrics, but taffeta, peau de sole
and such simple woods, albatross and
yelling are all in use for the cold
weather waists. The admirable model
shown is of white mercerized duck
with handsome pearl buttons, used
for the closing, and is unlined, but the
fitted foundation is advisable for all
silks and wooden materials.
The lining is carefully fitted and
closes with the waist at the centre
back. On it are arranged the front
and backs proper, laid in two deep
pleats that extend over the shoulders,
but are stitched to yoke depth only.
The sleeves are in shirt style with
deep cuffs, and at the neck is worn a
plain stock collar with bat-wing tie.

teen years of age, three and three
eighth yards of material twenty-one

Lafayette's Lands.

When Lafayette came to the Uniteo
States in 1924, at the invitation OF
congress, that body, on December %
of that year, voted him a grant Of
100000 in money and a township OF
land to be located under the authority
of the president on any inappropriate
ed public lands. This location was
made in what was then known as
West Florida and contained 23,02S.53
acres. The city of Tallahassee stands
upon part of the land SO located.
The patent for the land was issued on
July 4, 1925, and presented to Lafay.
cite in person by George Graham of
Virginia. then the commissioner Of
the general land office. Prior to 1925
congress, by act of March g. 1903, au.
thorized the secretary of war to issue
to Major General Lafayette warrants
for II, 500 acres of land, and by act OF
March 27, 1904, authorized him to To-
cate the warrants in what was then
known as the territory of Orleans
The location was accordingly made on
the west bank of the Mississippi, in
the parish of Pointe Coupee, in the
present state of Louisiana Patents
tc these lands were issued to Lafay
cite early in 1910. 1t is known that
he sold the Louisiana lands, and sup
posed that he did the same with tle
Florida lands.-Detroit Free Press.

PRIMITIVE BRlTlSHERS.
Foot Warmers in Use on the Er gIis,
Railways.

Foot Warmers in Use the T., GIisr
Railways.
That American criticism of the prim-
tive ways of our English cousins is
not unwarranted is shown by the
great to-do being made in the Lon Ion
Times over the inadequacy of foot
warmers, which 18th century device
is still used in cold weather on Brit
ish railways. The Times not only
gives up it's valuable space to COM
plants Of travellers, but actually de-
votes column of editorial matter to
the subject, and in describing the way
ir which the railroads manage things
il observed recently:
"a train backs into the platform
some five minutes or so before it is
timed to start. All this hustle and
confusion. The platform is crowded
with passengers and their luggage, all
struggling to get into the train at once.
In the midst of the turmoil, non
chalent porter is discerned leisurely
trundling along with barrowful of
foot-warmers, and grudingly deliver
ing them here and there to the pas
sengers who seem most likely to pay
for them. There are seldom enough
to so around, and there would hardly
be time to take them round if there
were. 1t is first come first served,
and the poorest of the least pushing
go without. And this IS first-class
railway terminus in London at the be-
ginning of the Goth century, in a
country which invented railways and
for many years had no rival in their
management"
This is so primitive that one does
not wonder that the Times is excited
Foot-warmers belong to the warming
pan age in the United States, but in
dear old England they are not only the
thing, but the American way of heat
ing cars is looked at askance, though
IL has now secured the approval of the
Times, which seems to have stirred to
it's depts the dereliction of the rail-
way porters. No wonder Kipling
wants ''the islanders" to wake up!

Eenefit of Exerctse.

Next to bodily cleanliness, exercise
may DE reckoned as the greatest aid
to beauty. In fact, exercise is almost
necessary to cleanliness, for it is a
great incentive to perspiration, which
is natures way of throwing the impu-
rites of the body to the surface of the
skin, from whence they are then re-
moved by the use of water Open-air
exercise should be taken every day,
but according to strength. One should
return home after walking, riding or
cycling with sense of being pleasant
ly fatigued, but without any feeling Of
exhaustion. Exercise should be taken
regularly and, if possible, dumb-bells
should be used night and morning. The
corset should not be worn while exer-
cising with dunb-bells. Skipping is
an excellent exercise for the figure, and
it is one of which our grandmothers
were fond. 1t is usual with children
to throw the rope forward when skip
ping, but 1t is far better to throw it
backward for it expands the chest
much better

Patents in France.

In order that a patent may be OBJ.
tanned in France, the three following
conditions are necessary: That the
invention be absolutely new; that it
possess an industrial character: tnat
it be not contrary to public order or
security, good morals, or the laws Of
the country. An invention is not
considered new when, previous to the
date of filing Of the application, it has
received sufficient publicity in France
or abroad to render it easy Of imita-
ton. The patents are not guaranteed
by the government, which delivers
them at the risk and peril of the ap-
plicant; there may be noticed on thou
sands of patented inventions the let

cost of French patent is 500 francs

This tasteful May Manton example
combines a waist of white silk null
and guipure lace, with a jacket of pas

and the like, when the skirt matches
the bodice, while the waist may be of

substituted when found more becom-

The foundation lining is snugly fitted
