In small house innocent OF anything
approaching a laboratory; scientific
devices were in every room, and all

Then one day came the crisis in the

RIGHTS TO BE Determined
Eligibility Ct Porto RieaE as American
Army officer Is Being Questioned
by Authorities.

The question as TO whether Luis
Raoul Esteves. the Porto Rican grad.
uate IN this years class from West
Point, Is eligible for a commission In
the army has been raised Under a
decision Of the court Porto Ricans are
not citizens Of the United States. and
for that reason 1t was suggested that
Cadet Esteves might not qualify as an
officer Of the army.
While the question has not been
passed upon by the legal authorities,
the opinion OF those who have been
looking up the precedents Is that the
fact that the cadet is not a citizen Of
the United States will not disqualify
him from holding a commission.
Beginning with the Revolutionary
war down through the Civil war. for.
eigners have held commissions in the
United States army. Without regard
to his citizenship the Porto Rican now
has the legal status OF cadet. He IL
on a different status from the Fill
pinos. who under a special act of con
gress are permitted TO take the course
at the military academy. Esteves en-
tered the academy and was educated
under the same provision Of law as al
other cadets. and IL is thought that I

done nothing but duty he owed to

Clerk for making out monthly and

CELEBRATED s1sT BIRTHDAY.

Mrs. Julia Aldrich's 81st birthday
that she supposed would be nonenti-
ty except that the hand of time would
ADD another year to the record, was
made by the neighbors very pleas
ant affair. The cake and pie both of
superior quality that Mrs. Rubin and
Mrs. Worley supplied the day before
as a sort of proem of what might be
expected to follow. Mrs. Worley came
Thursday morning to take charge of
affairs The two families and Walter
Leininger and wife and Sherman Run
lin, who still live on the place all join
ed to make the day glad one. Open
| ing the door between the rooms gave
the house the old spacious look of
years agone. Fruits and flowers lent
the charm of beauty and luxury to the
table. Mrs. Rubin and Mrs. Worley
always have the glow and fragrance
of flowers in their homes. Even in
winter they can make summer time.
1t was not possible for either of Mrs.
Aldrlch's sons to be present at this
time, but none of her relatives were
too far away for their message of
love and material evidences of re-
membeFance of the day to reach her.
AVE., love circles the globe with it's
blessings. Congratulations form
numerous friends before and after the
day came to brighten old memories,
thus adding joy to the present. One
elderly gentleman said perhaps l am
a little late in my congratulations,
but hope am not late in the esteem
of my first teacher, He was good
boy-there were many good boys
and girls in that far away date 1854
that have blessed Fulton county with
good men and women. j. C. A..
