n7ISTUR EDDITOR-As State Della x1 ware does not compare favura- Ss&y bully with Texas when it cums to size. There air counties in Texas in which Delaware could be biased and 1t would take Dr. Cook and shouting party of Guvvermint engineers six .munths to re- discuvver Delaware. Delaware has only when we say Congress we meen the House. One lone Congressman endeavors to fill all the postoffises in Delaware and perform uther odd jobs insident to raids on the Treasury and mynor matturs pertaining to the wellfair of his constituency. Theere air fewer peepul livving in Delaware than theere air in Jeffersun County. But Della ware has two United States Senaturs. She has two United States Senaturs who make up for what theere may be lacking in . Delaware.
 Emmy how they make up in size on paper. It takes moor spase and a grate menny moor words for Delaware to explain to the genneril public the qualifications k and uther varius and sundry accomplish hints of her two United States Senaturs than it does enny uther four States in the /. Union. If a total strainger picks up the Congressional Directory and cassuelly glanses through it, and cums across Della ware, he will find that Delaware's Sena- turs have verry painstakingly endeavured to inform sed genneral public and total fl,., ,fo Iofo;1 entire fammily history.

 The childrens bureau was established by the federal government two years ago. It came after six years of effort on the part of a large number of people through out the country who believe that the children are the nations most valuable natural resources and that for their well rare the government should have at least the same sort of concern a s that which it shows toward the conservation of mineral wealth through the bureaus of plant and animal industry.

The Last of the Med;ci---By George Comet

no sign of dying out These people are descended from a branch of the family which followed Catherine de Medici to France in 1530, when, with a glittering retinue, she passed from Italy to marry the prince who later reigned as Henry IL
 Catherine de Medici loved her own people and was at all times true to them. Her marriage with Henry was arranged and hastened by her uncle, Pope Clement VI1 because danger ex- isted of her flinging herself into the arms of her cousin, Hippolyte de Med ici, handsome and dashing man of no family, with whom she, solitary orphan, had been reared.
 Many of her relatives came in her train to France. Many more followed her there. Some of them held high rank as great marriages, some were of distant kin, obscure folk, who were content to pick up the crumbs that fell from the royal table. What pickings there were may be guessed from a description of the progress of the court.
 ''The court travelling said writer of the time, lis an army on march; an army with 5000 horses, covering leagues of ground, leaving foodless the towns and provinces it crosses. In the long ribbon it forms take part the hundred gentlemen of the King, the 60 pages of the stable. the Swiss guards, the mar shals who mark with chalk the houses the King and his retinue lodge in. That which is called the flying squadron of Catherine closes the march. The Prin- cess of la Roche-sur-y~n has the diff cult task of experimenting her 80 maids of honor After these come an immense number of carriages containing the dresses toilet requisites and furniture or the Queen and her attendants. The court proper is followed by traveling

 The Medicis of Belgium seem never to have been far raised above the humble rank In which they are now placed. Not withstanding the de" which they bear. accepted sign in Belgium and France of noble rank, they do not claim to be- long to the Belgian nobility and dili- gent research has failed to unearth any trace of marriage between them and mem- bers of the great famires of this country. ill all their centuries of residence in Bel gium. That the name they bear is theirs by right of descent is unquestionable, for in France and Belgium both law and usage requires men to bear unaltered, the surnames their fathers bore, and no man can christen his child with a name other than one found in a church calen- dar, or borne by someone in ancient history.
 Those who look for it can find traces of the Italian type in the Medicis of Belgium. The widespread race of the Medicis had not as specific type as the Hapsburgs, or the Bourbons. Yet, likeness, which may or may not have come by chance, can be traced in the humble bearers of the high sounding name today and it's glorious possessors in the rust times.
 There are no Cosimos or Lorenzos among the Belgian Medici, but there are Catherines and Maries enough. One Ma rie de Medici by birth, who is living to- day, is widow; her husbands name was de Bruyne. She is the member of the family who shows the greatest pride in her ancestry Should means and oppor- tunity offer she would dearly love to trick herself out as bravely as the spen- did queen whose name she bears. Un- fortunately both are lacking. The father of this woman was also a member of the Belgian police force. Tn 1860 he held the

@2RUSSELS, April 25.-(Special)
 The last representatives of the house of Medici, which S{3f A0 gave great popes, cardinals and princes to Italy, and great queens to France have been found at Mons, in the center of the coal mining dis trict of Belgium
 The Medicis, pretended descendants of Perseus, slayer of Medusa, sprang in reality from the ranks of the small traders of Florence, in the end of the twelfth century and through commerce climbed to power, which for centuries they retained. The last prince of the Medcis, Giovan Gaston, died childless in 1737. On his death the Medicis dis appeared from the rolls of royalty; but a branch of the family issued from the f main line in the thirteenth century, re- mained prominent in the political world until the last century. This branch &C., quired the principality of Ottagano in the sixteenth century. To it belonged Don Louis de Medici, Duke of Sarto, called the Chevalier de Medici, who ' played prominent part in the king dom of Naples under Ferdinand I, was , prime minister in 1922, and at the same Y time foreign minister, minister of finance and minister of police.
 The Chevalier de Medici died in Ma drid in 1880. The heritage of the proud house of Florence passed from ? him to the Belgian branch of the fam fly, represented in 1860 by Francois de Medicis, then resident in the village of Washes near Mons, where he held the position of chief of the local po- lice.
 The standing of police inspector is somewhat different from that of min ister of police Yet something in the Medici blood seemed to draw its mem bers toward the police service, since /. fortune no longer allowed them to di- rect it. In the days of their glory the Medici were famous for their plots and conspiracies and their armies of spies, as we'll as for their wide and success full trading and their enlightened pat ronage of art.

One, Celes- [. tin de Medici, who died recently at Mons. was a shoemaker; quiet re- spectable man, who made no boast of his splendid ancestry.
