PROBLEM QUICKLY SETTLED.

When Camille di Righini, the
charming child of Nine. Ella Rus
sell, was born, his parents were in
great doubt as to his nationality,
for he was born two days out from
New York on the Koenigin Luise,
under the German flag. His moth
er is an American; his father, the
Count di Righini, a pure Italian.
On her fathers side Nine. Ella Rus
sells grandfather was Irish and her
grandmother Scotch, whereas her ma
ternal grandfather was Welsh and
her maternal grandmother Austrian.

Living Models For JeweIry DESIGNS.

Living Models For Jewelry Designs.
At Weimar, where since the days
of Goethe artistic tastes have been
cultivated under the patronage of
the grand dukes, some artistically
inclined ladies recently had the clev-
er and original idea of representing
a number of objects of the indus
trial arts by living tableaux. This
idea was carried into effect with
much taste, and the ladies taking
part in the representation were
greatly applauded.
To represent, for instance, seal
in gilt bronze two ladies clad in
dresses of the color of bronze were
posed, bent over Chinese bowl, in
imitation of modern industrial art
which largely makes use of the
graceful female figure. Brooches,
combs, tie pins, pendants, belt
buckles, etc, were shown in the
same way. Reduced by photogra-
ply into working size, these living
pictures form pretty designs for
jewelry. - jewelers. Circular Week

Tho visitors to Baltimore today

BERKE5ET FIRE FIGHTERS PUTTING

ment has begun. and the efforts Of
Mayor Thomas Rickard and Fire Chief
James Kenny, seconded by the Trus-
tees, to give the town a better fire SER
vice are bearing fruit. Berkeley has
been practically without fire or police
protection for years, and the present
Board of Trustees. at the initiative OF
Rickard. has been attempting TO reme-
dy this delinquency. The old volunteer
department is being largely replaced
by paid fremen. In a few years more
the department will be entirely paid.
Several important changes are being
made in the department, to take effect
on or before July l. Two old fire
houses will be abandoned and four new
men added to the list of paid firemen
by that date. The money saved from
the abandonment of the houses is used
to pay the salaries of the firemen,
which now amount to S145 month.
These men have only antiquated ap-
paratus with which to work but hope
to be better equipped IL the proposed
bond issue is approved by the voters.

This system was composed of twenty

PLAN ROUNDUP OF ALL
BERKELEY REPUBLICANS
District and Central Organization VIII
Be Used to Get All the Voters
in Line.

BERKELEY, June 1.-THE Re-
publican Club of Berkeley has taken
the first step toward rounding up all
the Republicans of Berkeley before
the next compaign by engaging rooms
in the new Thomas block on Center
street, where headquarters will be es-
tablished. Here it is proposed to
plant the central organization of the
town and to receive reports and data
from all outside districts. The head
quarters will be permanently retained
and remain open until the issue is de-
cided in November next.
BY securing quarters the Republi-
can leaders hope to stimulate an in
terest in political affairs and to unity
the efforts of the men of the Repub-
lican faith. The chief aim will be to
roll up big majorities In every pre-
cinct in the town. There will be a
central organization and executive
committee and in each of the wards
a club and secretaries to collect data.
In this way every voter will be reach
ed. The Republicans have already
agreed that Thomas Rickard, presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees, shall
lead them and he will be named for
chairman of the central organization.
