Children Chanted Songs.
This quaint letter shows how the
idea Of the powers of st. Vancntine
were appreciated by the maidens OF
that time. 1t was customary In the
olden times for maidens to hang their
shoes outside tho window on the eve
OF St Vanentine's day in order that
their love affairs should prosper. al
though the explanation of this belief
is not given. Children also went about
chanting songs about Valentino and
| collecting coins as their valentines.
Tho valentine gifts of those days
were sometimes very costly. including
jewels. rings. brooches, silken sashes,
or belts with begemmed buckles silk
gloves with rich embroidery. and other
expensive presents which man might
make to his valentine"

PROTECT REHODOTH.
Improvement AT Lewes Is
Blamed For Damage.

Rehoboth, Del, Dec. 10.-Follow-
ing he heavy damage done here by
the recent storm, mass meeting OF
the town officials and residents will
be held Saturday, when owners of
property along Surf avenue, which
was destroyed, will be asked to give
their views as to what should be
done in improving thei ocean front.
An engineer will be engaged to
tell the citizens what can be done to
save the resort from the effects of
future storms.
Former Congressman Hiram R.
Burton, who attended a meeting of
the Town Commissioners today, said
he thought the damage during the
last 10 years was due to the erection
bf the Harbor of Refuge at Lewes,
by the Government, as this diverted
the channel and caused the waves to
eat into the shore. He suggested
| that the Commissioners confer with
the United States Engineer in charge
of the district and endeavor to have
the Government build a sea wall
from the shore to the Hen-and-Chic-
kens shoal.

concerned, she is exceedingly

she would not have married a Jew.
Apparently it is her opinion that

Church. We named the boy Michael
Neil Klein, and he was baptized in
the Roman faith.
Until he was four or five years
old the seriousness of the problem

Real Father Of Locomotive.

The right of Robert Stephenson to

which has been bestowed upon him,
is questioned in book which re-
Gently has appeared by G. A. Sekon,
editor of the Railroad World, which
gives the honor to Thomas Hack
worth. The latter went to the Stock
ton e Darlington railroad as engineer
and general manager in June, 1925.
The locomotives the railroad started
with proved unsuccessful. The horses
hauling the coal cars were doing the
work Of transportation cheaper than
the locomotives. The directors de-
cided to abandon the locomotives.
However, before taking the de-
cisive step, Thomas Hackworth,
the engineer and manager of the rail-
way, was asked his opinion upon the
subject. His reply was: Gentlemen,
if you will allow me to construct an
engine in my own way l will engage
it shall work cheaper than animal
power" After due deliberation this
alternative was adopted, as last
locomotive experiment. The engine
Royal George was the result, built
at New Shildon by Thomas Hack
worth, and tried September, 1927. 1t
was a success in every particular and
cut down the haulage cost by more
than half.

Canadian Railroads Make Elaborate

Canadians are making thorough
preparation for their part of the Eu-
ropean war They are reorganizing
themselves upon a military basis at
home and one Of the latest wartime in
novations is the newly constructed and
commissioned war dining car. These
cars have been put into service on the
various dominion railroads for the pur-
pose of serving meals in connection
with the transport of troops. This type
of car is called kitchen car. The
war diner, or the kitchen car, is
equipped with spacious refrigerator
and butcher shop at one end and a
combination pantry and pastry room
at the other, with the kitchen in the
middle. The kitchen installation in
cludes a coal range, steam roaster,
two soup kettles and four steam cook
ers. The steam utensils are operated
by live steam generated in a vertical
boiler with which each car is
equipped
Each of these cars is planned for the
feeding Of 1000 men, three times a
day. They can be stocked with ed.
