BROWNELL NOTES

Delivery car week was put on last by the Brownell Automobile company. Stu deLaker and Ford distributors here. and so successful was the event that it has been decided to extend it during the present week.
 The display rooms of the Brownell company are filled with nothing but Ford delivery cars and special prizes have keen offered the sa1esmen for the sales of delivery ears for two weeks period.
 Many citizens interested in delivery cars have called at the Brownell com pany and have inspected closely the de- livery cars In fact, crowds have ac- cepted the invitation to be among those present and delivery car week has proven a great success It is believed that the continuance of delivery car week for an- other week will result in greater crowds being attracted to the show rooms of the Brownell company, where they can see and learn all about the Ford delivery car.

Billeting Humours


 Foolish people who are inclined to place obstacles in the way of officers who call to billet soldiers upon them would profit by reading the billeting stories told by MT. Patrick Macgill in the Amateur Army (Herbert Jen- kins). The stories are not without their humorous aspect:
 "On one occasion an officer asked a citizen, an elderly man full of paunch and English dignity, how many sol diers could he keep in his house. Well, it's like this-,' the man be- gan.
 Have you any room to spare here? demanded the officer.
 ".None, except on the mat was the caustic answer.
 "'Two on the mat, then.' snapped the officer, and a pair of tittering Tom mics were left at the door,
 "Sadder than this, even, was the plight of the lady and gentleman al St. Albans who told the officer that their four children were just recover

at the beginning of the war, he joined the party of Jonescu and Filipescu, and has taken active part in the anti-Aus- trian agitation ever since.
 Relations between Roumania and Hun gary have not been amicable at any time during the war. owing to the con- tinual agitation of the pro-Russian ele- ments in Roumanian politics. Lately an added strain has come into these relations because the Roumanian gov ernment declined to oppose the nomina- tion of Goga and Lucaciu, although they were known to be Hungarian subjects. and in spite of the fact that as foreign citizens they cannot legally become mem bers of the Roumanian chamber.
 CANNOT INTERFERE
 The Roumanian government held the view that they could not prevent any body standing for election, and that all they had power to do was to oppose the validity of the election of such for eigners after it became an accomplished fact. Goga and Lucaciu, however, say that if the Roumanian chamber should not sanction their election they will stand again until accepted by Parliament.
 As a matter of fact, the two candi- dates did not obtain an absolute majority in the first election, for there were three candidates. But they did get the relative greatest number of votes, this entitling them to stand with the one who got the second largest number in a by-election which is to take place shortly.
 Should they be elected, it vii lbe neces- sary for the Roumanian chamber itself to decide whether their election is valid. It Is generally believed in Bucharest that the majority of the house will sane tion their election despite the fact that they are foreigners.
 They themselves state that it is only a small matter whether they actually take their seats, as their main aim has been to stir up hostility to Austria Hungary, and this they have already suc- ceeded in doing.

ROUMAN|A HONORS HUNGARIAN EX|LES
Two Nominated for Seats in
 Parliament
FROM PENNSYLVANIA
Has Not Improved Relations of Neigh bors Which Have Not Been Amica- ble Since Beginning of War on
 Account of Pro-AlIy Feeling

Budapest, Hungary, March 1.--(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press.)-Re- cent developments between Roumania and the central powers have called at tenton to the fact that the nominat ton of two Hungarian exiles for seats in the Roumanian Parliament, is looked upon in Hungary as serious factor in the relations between the two coun- tries
 The two exiles are Octavian Goga and Pater Lucaciu, the latter still a mem Der of the Hungarian Parliament. Both come from Pennsylvania, the far east province of Hungary, whence they es- caped across the border into Roumania at the beginning of the war. They have long been members of the Pennsylvania 'Irredentists, whose platform embraces the cdoser union of all the Roumanian peoEes including Roumania proper and theNM umanian portion of Hungary.
 HARRY ON CAMPAIGN
 As soon as Goga and Lucacuf fled into Roumania, they joined the Roumanian irredentist party, and have since been carrying on vigorous agitation in Rou- mania, featuring and writing on the great riches of the Transylvanian fields and moutnainsf and on the advantage which the possession of these would be to Roumania
 Lucaciu is the greatest living Rou- manian orator-"silver tongued pater'' they call him there-and he is a great popular idol in a large part of his new ly adopted country. Should he be elect ed to the Roumanian Parliament from Galatz, he will be the unique possessor of Seats in the Parliaments of two diff ferent countries, for he has never been formally busted from his seat in the Hungarian legislature although he is not likely to return to claim it. He has al- ready experienced Hungarian persecu- tion, having served a sentence of three years for irredentist agitation
 The other Transylvanian exile, M. Goga, has long been known in Roumania as a poet. After crossing into Roumania

 brother of the Rev. Henry Flint. named Thomas, arrived in the new world the same year. His son John married sister of Urian Oaks, an other early president of Harvard. An other, Thomas Flint, who came to this country in early colonial days. was mentioned in the annals of Salem, Mass, in 1850. From him are descended more of those who bear the name of Flint in America than any other set tier His most illustrious descendant was Timothy Flint, who was born in 178O He is remembered to this day for his pioneer missionary work in the middle west.

Later he learned that there had been no whooping cough in the house; in fact, the people who caused him to beat such a nasty retreat were childless, He felt annoyed and discomfited but about a week following his first visil he called again at the house, thii time followed by six men.
 "'These fellows are just recovering from whooping cough he told thI householder; they had it bad WI didn't know what to do with them. buf seeing that you've had whoopinI cough here, I feel it's the only plaG where it will be safe to billet thenI And he left them there"

HARLEY-DAVIDSON
 SALES ON INCREASE

up to March 1 my sales of Harley Davidson motorcycles have doubled and trebled over previous records here,'' said William F. Specht, Jr., local distributor for this motorcycle. "The demand is so great, in fact, that it has been neces- sary to order them in carload lots. My business is confined to Birmingham and Jefferson county, but I have found it difficult to supply the demand here
 Many department stores find the liar ley Davidson invaluable for delivery pur- roses, and the side-van has proved to be very popular here. Sales are con- stantly on the increase, and the Harley is getting more and more of a necessity every day."

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

To c. J. H., who writes for informa- ton about the Maryland Towards:
 The family tradition is that the first Howard in this country, Joshua How ard, emigrated to the new world in 1867. His birthplace is known to have been Manchester, Eng. He married Jo- anna OCarroll of Irish birth Their children were Francis, Cornelius, Vio- letta, Sarah, Mary, Elizabeth and Ed mund. Cornelius Howard married Ruth Eagar, whose grandfather was the early proprietor of the land on which Baltimore, Md, now stands. son of Cornelius and Ruth Howard was Col. John Howard, who was three times governor of Maryland, in 17S8, '89 and go. He declined the portfolio of Sec retary of War under Washington and was United States senator from 1796 to 1903. He married Margaret Chew of the distinguished Philadelphia family of the name, and their son was gov. error of Maryland from 1881 to 18y2. Probably all the Maryland Towards are descended from Joshua Howard and his wife Joanna.
 To G. W. H., who asks for some thing about the Herbert family:
 This name, like Harbard and liar berd, is derived from the personal name, Herbert, which, in turn, was de- rived from the Scandinavian Harbard. The meaning is either hairy or hoary beard
 To c. T. A., who asks for informa- ton about the ancestry of Marquis La fayette Angle and the coat-of- arms and derivation of the name. C. T. A. writes that the name "isi found to have been spelled Angel, Anglea and Angell, and that the particular branch was among the original settlers of James, town, Va, colony"
 The surname Angle and Angell- which is the spelling usually employed in England-is derived from the per- sonal name Anegole or Angola.
 The coat arms of the family An gle or Angel, sometimes spelling the name Anegall and Anegal, is given as follows: Gules cinquefoil, or, within an orle of eight crosses crosslet Of the last Crest, on a chapeau a tower proper For fuller information of the family see "Genealogy of the descend ants of Thomas Angel1 who settled in Providence in 1636,'' a volume pub lished by A. c.

 It is said that the English family of the name is descended from Grimwald. a relative of the famous Norman chief tain, William de Warebe. Grimwald settled in England at the time of the Norman conquest and his grandson as- stunned the name of Bacon, which was their ancient Norman surname. Some- times the name was spelled Bachun and Bacun. It is sometimes latanized Bajocio.
