with heavy taffeta silk Of the same
shade. Possibly the serge will be in
plastrons in front and back, with
the sleeves and skirt body and other
trimmings Of silk.
Some Of the newest models for
spring sport suits show a combina-
ton Of checked wool and pOngee.
The wool forms the wide rolling
collar of the coat and a front panel
in the skirt that goes to the knees
and then extends on each side to
form a very wide hem portion that
goes all the way round to the back.
All the rest is of pongee.
A favorable material for dark
suits this spring will be heavy satin,
some Of them heavily braided with
silk or mohair braid. Pongee COM
bined with satin in matching or
contrasting colors is an attractive
ombination in one or two of the
advanced spring models.
One way of making the wool go a
long way will be TO have the jacket
of the suit made of wool and the
skirt of silk This is a good plan
for the woman who feels that she
needs more warmth in her coat than
silk can supply. One seldom needs
the warmth of wool in the skirt for
spring suit-and hence the skirt
is of silk

was waiting for an elevator one
raw. wintry day in the foyer Of a big
office building. Standing near me
was a bent old woman with a large
flat basket, in which she had piled
apples. crullers and several other
kinds OF cheap sweetmeats The
old woman was peddling her wares

looked to her for their lunches and
afternoon teas. so to speak.
I was attracted TO a thin youth
who was talking to the old woman.
He wore a red sweater that was
neither thick nor new, an old cap:
a pair Of trousers that had never
been very good and showed many
days of hard wear. Under his arm
he carried a great pile Of news
papers. He also had wares 10 sell
or deliver in the office building. He
was one OF the city's newsboys, who
wedge their way through crowds and
brave every sort of weather in or

ing and delivering newspapers.
I've got some Jumps of sugar in
my pocket" he confided to the old
woman. Have you an apple you
can trade for the sugar?"
The old woman's face frightened
with a shrewd look "Where'd you
get the sugar." she inquired. Don't
believe you have any. Where'd you
get it, anyway"
ooh. / got it," the boy assured
her. wagging his head emphatically.
Say can you make a trade? / got
sugar all right.
"Where'd you get it?" insisted the
vendor Of lunches.
The boy told her. but i'm a some

pull at the Jumps in the bottom of

woman's curiosity was satisfied.

The Oldest Nation
in the Void
BY GARRETT p. sERvIss

According 20 an article on
the subject of Egypt that 1 have
read the year 424I b. G.. is the
first date in Egyptian history.
ard also the first recorded date
IN the history of the world Is
it not true that China is the
Oldest nation in the world, and
Is there not a recorded date OF
that nation which is earlier than
4241 b. C.?-READER, Hud-
son, ..
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-01-19

There are several circumstances
which might be regarded as pre-
sumptive evidence that China has a
good claim to be regarded as at
least livalIing i'm age any other ma
ton in the world. One of these is
that all attempts TO trace an origin
for the Chinese outside the bound
aries of their own country have
failed No investigator has been
able 10 get back to a time when
these Chinese did not live in China.
Another significant thing which
seems &c strike with much force
travellers who succeed in penetrat-
ing the more remote OF the old
provinces Of China is the worn and
aged aspect of the landscapes,
where during clusters of centuries
the land has been titled and retilled.
the hills have been shaved close.
and common roadway have, by the
endless patter of passing feet, been
worn down into vast burrows some
times yards below the general level
Of the country.
The land of China, like a Chinese
house, seems 10 reek with the effu-
vium of ages Of human occupation.
Then the Chinese character, the
dislike of change, the long-settled
habits, the unaltering outlook upon
life. the repugnance TO new exper-
fences, are typical expressions Of
the cumulative effect of age in
promoting conservatism.
Yet another indicative fact is the
immense population OF China It is
the most populous single land on
the globe 1t takes time 20 accumu-
late four hundred million people in
a country where medical science is
antiquated. where millions are fire.
quently swept off by famines and 10y
the most gigantic floods that any
where affict mankind and where.
all through its history. the nation
has suffered from periodical ravages
and slaughterings inflicted by war
like invaders. Chinese literature,
too. seems 20 be full OF suggestions
OF antiquity of race. echoes Of an
cestral tendencies stretching back
through innumerable generations.
However ii is not likely that we
shall ever know with certainty which
is the oldest nation or the oldest
race The little island Of Crete IN
the Mediterranean sea has within
the last few years been put in a very
high rank of antiquity and, while
no Recorded dates can be shown 10
support the theory II has been
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-01-19

1t is not an actual recorded date.
but only a calculated date that is
represented by the figures 4241 b.
c. which you quote. The calcula-
ton was made by Edward Meyer. a
Prussian historian, who surmised
that the Egyptian calendar was in
troduced at that date. 1t is a ques-
ton of inference, Interpretation and
probability and not of definite
record. Meyer and Kurt Sethe have
also made estimates of the date Of
the beginning of the first dynasty
in Egypt, which they put respective
ly at 1915 b. c. and 1850 b. c..
while the American Egyptologist, J..
IL. Breasted. adopts the date 34O0
b. c. on the other hand, Flinders
Petrie, the English Egypterologist,
puts the date back to $50 B. c.
The simple fact that schools
exist among Egyptologists, some
following one system of calculation,
or one leader, and some another, is
sufficient TO show what "A cloud of
uncertainty overhangs the entire
subject Of Egyptian chronology The
best clues perhaps are furnished by
astronomy, for the Egyptians were
great observers of the stars. and
particularly of the risings and set
tings with reference to the sun, of
Sirius, or Sothis the Nile star"

A few rare data exist indicating
the time of year, during some kings
reign, when astronomical phenomena
of this kind were observed and cele-
brated, and by calculating back
ward, on the basis of the known
movements Of the heavenly bodies,
more or less reliable conclusions may
be drawn about the actual date, but
unfortunately these depend upon
improbable assumptions concerning
the accuracy of the observations,
and the unvarying state of the
Egyptian calendar. As to the story
told by the monuments, il is too dis
connected, in the long run, to furn-
ish a guide.
In regard to the relative an
tiquity of the beginnings Of ancient
nations we are equally in the dark.
There is no Chinese recorded date
so carly as 1000 b. c., as far as
know The Chinese have a system
of legendary history in which they
boldly go back more than two-and-
a-quarter million years. TO an imas-

FAMOUS TURKEY
CASE MAY Be BASIS
OF: GODSOL DEFENSE


{ The stealing OF a turkey gobbler,
witch involved the relations OF this
country and Great Britain and the
decisions of the courts on the extra
dition of the man charged with the
theft Is likely to be the precedent IN
~oked by the attorneys OF Frank J.
Godsol. who Is charged with the H.
legal acquisition OF 100000 in COM
Iuissions: I'm connection with the pur-
chase of automobile trucks for the
French government.
This famous case involved man
by the name OF LaPage, who lived
in the tSate of New York, and who
was charged in 1914 with taking
from a man in Canada a turkey COB
bier and seventy hens.
La Pare Was Freed.
Action for extradition was brought,
but on S. decision OF Judge Day in ha-
beas corpus proceedings La Page was
freed. Godsors attorneys claim that
there are many points OF similarity In
the two cases and rely much on the
New York decision as a precedent
GodsoI today issued the following
statement through his counsel:
Yesterday when appeared before
Commissioner Hit the hearing was
postponed pending the arrival of
papers from France. this in face of
the fact that the affidavit Of March
@, on which 1 was held. plainly
states that the papers were mailed at
Paris on February %, and that 1t has
been admitted by Mr.. Minor, counsel
for the French embassy, that the
papers arrived some days ago, and
IL Is reported he went with them TO

they were found to be lacking any

prepare new or supplemental papers
which shall more nearly answer the
purpossa of my prosecutors.
/ cannot conceive that the French
courts will comply with such re-
quest but political expediency and
