With the Gold Clans.

One essential fact about northern
Albanian clans Ia that they have re-
manned exactly AZ they were when the
Norman Crusaders landed on their
coasts from southern Italy and rode
along the ruinous Roman road that
still leads to ConBtantlnOple.
Yhcir SHOWS and their poverty, their
strange tongue and their habits OF
rapIne, have been tho amber that has
preserved the prehistoric ny.
II novelist or historian wished
to plunge himself into the atmosphere
OF tho Dark Ages at some period after
the barbarian invasion and before the
full recovery OF the power OF tho

Catholicism as relgned In Europe be-
fore the BupcrgttiOnB OF the primitive
north had been partly dissolved In

They hold their faith with the same
partisan intensity which made Arians

fore they were Christians.
The one social fact In their lives ID
the solidarity OF the clan.

There ale more baby girls adopted
than boys!
This Is true not only In Washington.
but In other orphanage asylums through
out the country. A canvass OF the local
orphanages yesterday afternoon revealed
that there are many more girls between
the ages Of / and 8 years adopted than
there are boys.
There are also more children taken
care of by foster parents at this age
than at any other. 1t is believed that
babies Of these ages are easier to train.
The matrons and superintendents of the
different homes all agreed yesterday that
tiny girls are more popular for adoption.
but were at a loss to give a definite
reason why this was so. They are Of
the opinion that foster parents prefer
girls to boys because they are easier to
handle. and are not quite so mischievous
and troublesome as the sterner sex.
Children between the ages of and 10.
1t seems. are not in the favor Of would
be parents, as the cases for adoption IN
comparison, are very few alongside the
calls for ones OF younger years. It Is
just at this age when boys and girls
most need the care and love of some
one older for the years that are to come.

CORBY COMPANY PLANS
GRAIN STORAGE PLANT

Tentative plans for the construction of
large elevator to be used for storing
grain used IN the manufacture Of yeast
and by-products at the plant at Lang
don. ID. C., are being made by the Corby
Company, according to q statement yes
terday by President W. 8. Corby, of that
company.
The project has been talked of for
some time, but no conclusions have been
reached as to the size Of the elevator or
the amount Of money to be expended.
The Corby Company has one of the
most modern plants of its kind in the
East and the growth of its business,
coupled with the increasing cost of grain
and oy-products used In the manufac-
ture of yeast, has made necessary an
increase in the storage capacity of the
factory.

Enhancing music, lovely women, gay

are the elements that make up Her
Soldier Boy" which appeared at the Be-

sically this operetta has the rich instru-

American, Clifton Crawford, who Is
caught In an eddy of the great war in
Europe and becomes the architect not
only Of his own fortunes, but of those
of an aristocratic Belgian maid, Beth
Lydy, and that romantic soldier boy, John
Charles Thomas. How well his quick wit
and characteristic impudence serve him
how amusingiy and how romantically,
Mr.. Crawford well indicates.
The press agent speaks truly when he
says that Clifton Crawford's 'unctuous
humor, adroit drolleries and incisive
touches Of sheer fun are shown in high
relief in this delightful Characterization -
John Charles Thomas Is that rare ar
'ticle in musical comedy, a barytone with
real voice, which, combined with his
manly stage presence and well-defined
personality, contributed in making his
performance of the soldier boy who must
give up his love in order to save a mother
from unhappiness. most enjoyable. He
made "A Song of Home particularly
