 Inasmuch as the song of the heart is never heard above the chatter of the tongue, a chorus to the above effect, rendered in uni son by the young folks of Wash ington, failed this afternoon to at tract the attention it so richly de- served.
 For with the retirement of the official lovers, in every movement of whom the entire nation for so long was engrossed, social life re- sumes it's normal status And in this fact ordinary mortals for too long period exclued from the limelight find excellent cause for rejoicing.
 Young men, unable for obvious reasons to cope in the role of lover with the chief executive, in glee rub their hands ond prepare to recover position to the center of the stage. Young ladies sigh quaint signs of satisfaction and for the first time in many weeks

As a further indication of patriotism in the islands, there is now on foot a movement to enlist, equip and train 150 men for service at the front
 In respect to the local food prob lem, it may be recalled that soon after the war began the governor of the islands called a mass meeting at the capital and advised the people to go to the soil and grow foodstuffs. This advice was so we'll taken that com plaint is heard from the merchants that trade Is dull, that the people have grown so much corn and other home products that there is now little sale for imports.

 There was hope that the winter tour ist business would offset some of the other losses, but after considerable expense in putting hotels and board ing houses in repair it was discovered that instead of increasing, the tourist bushes also fell off.
 Outside observers remarked that in the face of so much depression, the uncomplaining spirit which the isl anders have faced, the hardships had been remarkable. In addition to this, the people came forward with gener- ous contributions to various war

took pains to represent Airard Fitz Stephen in command of his ship.
 Airard's son was connected with one of the most tragic episodes of William $ conquest of England. This son, Thomas Fitz Stephen, commanded the White ship which was to carry Williams son to Eng land. The ship went down on the way to England and all save one of it's pas sengers and crew went down with it. John Fitz Stephen rose to the surface of the sea and clung to a floating spar; but when he realized the extent of the trag- edy, he jumped maddened, into the sea again.
 The first American member of this fam fly was John Stephens, Esquire, of Lypatt park. and the manor of Little Sodbury, Worcestershire, and later of Guilford, New Hampshire (now Connecticut
 John was a son of Sir Edward Stephens and Anne. his wife. sister of the first Lord Crewe of Stene. Sir Edward S house at Lypiatt Park was besieged and captured by the royalist party in the time of Cromwell and, the family fortunes were low John came to America with his family.
 John settled at Guilford. then in New Hampshire. He was a lawyer and be- came a judge in his new home. He was not admitted a freeman for some time because of the fact that he was a member of the Church of England. but in 1869 this privilege was extended to him and he obtained the right to vote, when he and his sons conformed to the Puritan form of worship.

 There were two first settlers of the name Beal or Beale in this country-John and William.
 John Real, or Beale, as he is sometimes called, came from Hingham, in Forehoe Hundred. County Norfolk, England. He sailed to the new world in the venerable cid ship Diligent, John Martin master and arrived in Boston in 1898. In the early records of that city he is described as a shoemaker" who. with his wife and five sons and three daughters and two servants. came from old Hingham and settled in New Hingham.

STILL At DOLL AGE, GIRL WINS
SWIMMING TITLE FROM WOMEN

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 2.
-"Tadpole" is an old nickname
to give a girl, but that's what
Thelma Darby of this city is call
ed. The reason is that although
she is only IL 1-2 years of age
and weighs only 80 pounds, she
is the fastest girl swimmer in the
middle west.
The little girl won her spurs in
the Central Athletic association
championship tournament. In
field of the ten fastest women
swimmers in the middle west, she
nimbly wriggled through the wat
er for so yards in IS seconds and
won easily.
"Tadpole" could have won the
100-yard swim also, but her
teacher, Billy Merriam of the In
dependent Turnverein, instructed
her to take the first 80 yards cas-
lily regardless of the others. When
she completed the 80 yards, she
found herself In second place. She
spurted and nearly won.
When the girl was only a mite
of a tot, her mother feared for
the child's life. Thelma had Just
passed through double pneumonia
and whooping cough.
Mrs. Darby, although she fear
ed the water, moved her family
to a summer cottage along White
river. Then, while Thelma and
her older brother, Norman, wad-
ed into the water, Mrs. Darby
covered her eyes with her hands
and prayed for them.
"Tadpole' became strong and
wonderful swimmer. Her brother
also became an expert. He is only
IA, but won a mile swim in 20
minutes and IL seconds against
the best swimmers In Marion
county.

and working, he had an ambition
to excel in athletics.
Seven weeks before a big meet
he determined to win. No one at
the college ever saw such Cruel
ing training. He was told he
would kill himself. Finally the
big day came, and Campbell, the
fellow coaches hoped might land
fourth place, ran the hearts out
of the best half milers in the mid
die west. He won in 1 minute
SO 3-5 seconds, within lilo Sec
ond of the worlds record.
In the trials for the right to
compete at Frisco he won the 800
