the prosperity that has come to them
from big crops and good prices.

came an Irish regiment, which one rs

Gypsy Migration.

The theory that the gypsies began
their migration from India about 9eD
A. d. is now generally accepted. They
were traced, through their language,
to Kabul and Persia, where they be-
came split. One group went south
through Asia Minor, and 1t was this
branch that finally, through Turkey,
wandered all over Europe. They first
appeared in Germany in 1417. Switz-
erland in 141S, Denmark in 1920, Italy
in 1922, France in 1447 and Poland
and Russia in 1900. Their last migra-
tons were to the new world and TO
Australia Their Punishment from
Germany began in 1725 under Freder-
lex William /, when, by royal procla-
nation, they were allowed a certain
time in which to lesvs the country,
after which all men, women and chill
dren over eighteen years were sent to
the gallows. France never allowed
the gypsies to get a foothold. Italy
and Spain we're tolerant with the few
they received, and Russia. England,
Hungary. Roumania and Poland were
generous toward the wanderers.

A Madison avenue car stopped at
Seventy-ninth street and a pretty
young woman in blue climbed aboard.
She took the one vacant seat, look
ing aggressively about her, and
crossed her legs. Blue silk ankles.
about twenty inches of each, were re.
Veaied.
Across the aisle sat two women Of
prim, mid-Victorian aspect. They cast
prim glances at the blue stockings,
and two mid-victorian shifts chilled
the air. Simultaneously the men lost
interest in their morning newspapers.
The possessor Of the blue silks
blushed. She stared at the prim coz.
pie. Not a word was spoken. Smiles
flashed on one face and then another.

CELESTIAL SMILED AT LAST
But 1t Was Not Because His Hair Had
Been Pulled and His Nose
Tweaked.

Because he refused to smile and

had his hair pulled, his nose tweaked
and both eyes discoIored by A. B..
Mills. who the police say had i'm
bibed freely, says an AlhaInbra dis
patch to the Los Angeles Times.
Mills and the Chinese were both pas
sengers on late car out of Los An
geles. Mills was in happy frame of
mind and favored each of the passen-
gers with a benign grin.
Chang was probably thinking of a
bad business week, for his coun-
tenance was long, solemn and mourn
full, and when Mills grinned at him
the celestial only looked the more for
lorn. Mills refused to allow anyone
around him to be anything but cheer
full, so he pulled Chang's hair and
asked for a smile.
Chang didn't see anything 1aughable
about the hair pulling, so he contin-
ued to look sad. Then Mills grabbed
the fiat oriental nose between his
fingers and tweaked it until Chang bel
lowed for mercy, but did not smile.
AS the car reached Barfield and
Main streets Mills decided on one last

Parker boarded the car and took Mills

Judge Northrup placed Mills under a
heavy bond to appear before him for
trial in the morning and then-Charley
Chang smiled.
