Verdun.

verdun Is the last of the great for
tresses with which France has sought
to defend its northern frontier.
There, in S43, Charles, Louis and
Lothaire, the sons of Louis /, "the deb
onair," divided the empire of Charlie
magne, brought France and Germany
into existence and began the modern
map of Europe.
Awarded to Germany then, 1t came
back to France under Henry II in
1862.
From that day, the Junction of the
road that runs down the Mouse to Bel
GUM and the road that goes straight
from Metz to France, has been a great
fortress. A Benedictine abbey was de-
stroyed to put a royal keep on its foun-
dations. Around it is an encircling
ring OF forts.
Its plateau rises steep 400 feet
above the valley of the Meuse on the
west. and on the east has short pitch
of 200 feet above the plain.

GET THE LOT CLEANED. UP
Sound Common Sense in Having Va
cant Property Present an At
tractive Appearance.

Have you q lot or a block of lots
you wish to put on the market the
coming season? Are they rough? Are
they weedy or brushy? Have they
been made more or less of dumping
ground for the past years? II so. you
will have two chances to one of sell
ing them II you take the trouble to
put them into sale shape, says the
Minneapolis Journal
A wise man selling horse would
see to 1t that the animal was In good
flesh and good coat before putting him
In the sale stable. Any grocer knows
that he can sell more goods II his
wares are attractive to the eyes OF
the prospective customer. No mer-
chant win risk his sales to the mag
ination OF the customer.
The average buyer of city lot Is
not gifted with rosy. constructive
imagination. He cannot make q men
tai painting of beautiful home
grounds out of rough and ragged
vacant lot. In selling anything. from
pair of trousers TO city lot, the
salesman should have the help Of good
looks in his goods in order to make a
quick or profitable sale.
1t costs little to put the average
open. vacant city lot into sale form.
II but the front third of the lot were
smoothed, grassed. clipped regularly
and one door-yard tree properly plant
ed and kept the lot would have two
chances of a sale where 1t otherwise
would have but one.
You may add this little expense to
the sale price, II you like, and 1t will
not hinder the sale. II you put your
rough property into an agents hands
you should not be disappointed II 1t is
left lying at the seasons end, or II the
agent is obliged to shade the price to
cover the ugliness Of the lot.

WHEN DODD DEFIED 1000

Col. George A. Dodd, the leader OF
the cavalry detachment which rode SO
miles in II hours and smashed Villas
command near Guerrero, gave New
York city, back in 1897, q glimpse OF
his determined character. A military
carnival had been arranged and the
government consented to send to 1t
Troop of the Third U. s. cavalry,
famous for its startling feats Of horse
manship, which WIS commanded by
Captain Dodd. General Miles ordered
Captain Dodd to proceed to Madison
Square garden with his men from their
quarters at Fort Ethan Allen.
But as soon as public announce
ment was made that Captain Dodd
would be accorded public reception
on Sunday with military escort, the
Society for the Observance of the Sab

state law prohibited parades on Sum
day.

FRIEND OF WAR CHILDREN

A young woman stood in large
drawing room in Washington and
talked to q group of men and women
about work for which she asked
their aid. She looked very girlish to
be deeply engrossed in a great inter
national welfare movement.
This young woman was Miss Caro-
line Dawes Appleton of Massachusetts
and New York and Paris, and she is
the founder of the international society
of the Friends of Childhood, whose mis-
sion is to help those who have become
impoverished by the European war. AS
the name betokens. children are the
chief object of relief, but the welfare
of children in many cases involves
help for an entire family. Miss Apple
ton intends to make Washington the
permanent headquarters of her work.
Miss Appleton Is the daughter of
the late Alanson Stewart Appleton. lit

HEAD OF GREAT INSTITUTION

President Richard Cockburn Mac

ercises of the new buildings of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
on June IL, 10 and IA will center, has
the distinction which will be appre-
ciated by businesslike Americans that
he has financed the construction of the
new edifices. This means that he has
secured gifts of about nine million dol
lars and at the same time has carried
forward the educational program of
the institute without departure from
its high standards.
President Maclaurin was born in
Edinburgh in 1870. His early boyhood
was spent in New Zealand. whence ne
returned to England to complete his
preliminary education. In 1892 he
entered the University of Cambridge,
taking two degrees, B. A. and M. A.
the thesis work for the latter being
most advanced mathematics. On grad.
uation he was elected fellow of st.
