Is the Greek name and the latter the Latin
for the same tribe. He-odotus speaks Of
this people as the bravest and most hon
orable of all the Thracian tribe and
credits them with having attempted to
stay the march of tho Persians Under
King Darius in the Sixth century before
the Christian era.
An Old Battlefield.
One OF the most picturesque stories OF
the ancient inhabitants of Dobrudja is
related In connection with an expedition
against them headed by Philip of Mace
donna. The great general was besieging
one of the principal towns OF the tribe
and just as he was about to give the sig
nal for an assault the gates We're thrown
open and q long line OF priests. clad in
white robes and playing Tyres, marched
out and came into the camp of the enemy.
So impressed was Philip by this sight that
he spared the city and took Media, the
daughter Of the Celtic king. as mis- wife.
Thereafter TIE Getae were allies of the
M~acedonians in their campaign against
the Scythians. BY the middle OF the
Fourth century, b. c.. the tribe began to
expand beyond the bounds OF Scythia
Minor, as the region was then known, in
to the land lying or the left bank OF the
anube
During the last quarter OF the Seventh
century, Isparich. one of the five sons of
tHt iSRcitdiJ SIiSdIIil ETitlce NGNTat,
with a band OF followers from Bessarabia
crossed the Danube into Dobrudja and
conquered its people. But the Bulgarians
experienced the anne fate which the Nor
mans encountered with the Saxons in Eng
land-the c~onquerors We're absorbed by the
conquered.
by the treaty Ct San Stefano. which
ended the R~usso-Turkish war of 1878, in
which the Rumanians distinguished them
selves al Plevna. Dobrudja was coded to
Russia by Turkey. the express design OF
the former being to acquire the land and
force Rumania to accept 1t IN exchange for
coveted Bessarabia. as previously stated.
From the point where Il becomes the
western boundary of Dobrudja the Danube
is a wide stream. flowing between low
banks. Its waters are studded with nu-
merous islets which are the homes of vast
nocks of w-aterfowls-wild swans, wild
geese, pelicans and herons. a famous tray
eler described the impression which this
region make upon passengers of the river
steamers, thus: AT night pelicans and
storks stalking about on lonely islands ut
tering at times a wild cry, which, more
than anything I know, brings to the mind
the images of solitude and desolation.'

From the New York Times

The diplomat who told Mr.. Balfou.
that he considered the naval battle of
Jutland the turning point of the wal
was probably mistaken, the turning
point Of the war was the fruitless cam
paign against Nerdun. Both were the
sallies of a garrison. Everything in
this war is on sue a colossal scale
that what are called battles would
have been called campaigns in other
wars, that a campaign lasting for
months is called a battle. and that the
battles are named not after a farm
house. a village. a creek, or eVen a city,
as in past times, but after whole
provinces and even countries; the bat
tie Of Champagne, the battle Of Buko-
wilma. SO with sieges. what is going
on now is the siege Of Germany.
The Jutland battle was a sally oy a
part of the beleaguered force. I. in
flicted great damage on the besieSers.
and the sallying force escaped. with
much loss. back into the intrench-
ments. This is what the Germans de-
scribe as q victory. but a sallying force
does not win a victory unless IL cuts
rs way through. ceryera's sally ended
in the destruction Of his force. Scheer
got back; but neither of them broke
the besieging lines.
If the sally against Verdun had been
successful it might or might not have
raised the siege. 1t failed. and with its
failure the beSlegerS attempted to
storm the fort. There were two
storming parties. one on the east and
one on the west. They w both made
breaches in the walls, slight ones in the
west, great ones in the east. Ii both
these storming parties were . fail,
more would follow. and still more;
while in the meantime the besieeers on
the sea continue uninterrupted their
inerciless belauguerment, no more af-
fected by the spectacular Jutland sally
than the besiegers of Plevna vera by
the sallies Of Osman Pasha. Tha Ger
man fleet is impotent; it cannot even
interfere with the fiood Of men and
munitions constantly flowing across
the channel. The battle of Jutland was
the last great sally in the siege If Ger

Welt and wish for something, with the
assurance that it would come true,
would be almost as good as catching
the lcprechawn and squeezing him until
he granted the desire OF your heart.
So l persuaded my folks to go with me
TO find that wishing well. OF course
there was an office, where you had to
pay the price of admission. You hav.
to pay the price for everything when

MIDDLE-AGED PARENTS
PRODUCE BEST CHILDREN
If You Wish Child to Be
Genius Marry at 40
-. or 45

The only definite fact known to
science about the infant prodigy is that
middle-aged parents are more likely 70
have precocious children than young
couples. The parents of children born
with attributes of genius have usually
reached middle age. Audubon's father
was ffty-seven when he was born; Ben
jamin Franklin's father was fifty-one;
Washington Irving's was fifty; Admiral
Farragut's was ffty-seven; Benjamin
webster's was fifty-seven, and Edgar
Allen Poe's was forty. George Wash
ington's father was thirty-eight when
he was born
II is a comparatively novel theory,
though, that geniuses are almost always
the children of successive generations
Of mature parents. The eugenists are
By no means I'm accord, in accepting this
theory. Some of them refute II. Yet,
IL was Sir Francis Cation, the father of
eugenics. who first pointed out the re-
lation of precocity to genius. This, II Is
claimed by modern psychologists, is due
% the fact that more health and Vigor
are transmitted TO their children by
-arents of ripe years, than or younger
ones. because of the older persons
cumulative resistance TO disease re-
Sistance that often amounts to practi-
cal immunity. This has been one of the
strongest arguments of eugenists'
against early marriages.
If you want your child to have fair
chance of developing genius, walt until

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Your hair gets
soft, fluffy and Iuxuriant
at once

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the beau
ty of your hair, besides it Immediately
dissolves every particle of dandruff; you
cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair
if you have dandruff. This destructive
scurf robs the hair of its lustre, its
strength and it's very life, and if not
overcome it produces a feverishness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the hair
falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and is
thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily, get
a 25-cent bottle of KnowltOn's Danderine
at any drug store or toilet counter; APP
ply little as directed and ten minutes
after you will say this was the best in
vestment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that If you
desire soft lustrous, beautiful hair and
lots of it-no dandruff-no itching scalp
and no more falling hair-you must use
Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually
why not now?-(AdvtD
