QUEEN GETS MARVELLOUS VEIL
Belgian Lace Experts Worked on
Piece Four Years-Designed
by Artists.

The Queen of the Belgians has re-
ceived from the lace and embroidery
works of Belgian Flanders marvel
Gus veil. Surrounded by all the mis-
fortune and misery Of war these
loyal subjects have toiled in secret
for four long years to produce unique
piece which they offer in homage to
their queen.
Such is their devotion to their SOW
ereign.
A French publication describes the
veil-designed by the most famous
Of Belgian artists and executed by the
most expert workmen, perfect in
every detail Of mesh and motif.
Twelve thousand hours were re-
CURED in workmanship, for the veil
contains not less than 10000, 900 points.
It displays the almost unknown art
Of light and shade, a difficult effect
and one of rare beauty. 1t solves
for the first time. perhaps, the ques-
ton Of perspective. The entire piece
weighs but four and one-half ounces.
In the center of the veil are the
Belgian arms, and in the four corners
of the central panel the arms Of the
cities of Ypres, Newport, Poperinghe
and Furnes. The four side panels
represent the industries Of weaving,
fishing. hop picking and dairying.

WAITING FOR THE HIND LEGS.

The Mexican situation is lengthen-
ing in the long silence of Carranza.
This Mexican bird brings to mind
the. man who tickled a mules hind
when it did not kick after he had
pinched it.
If he holds to his present attitude,
he may make certain discoveries that
will make it impossible for him to
wake up until he is without power
to think.
In the meanwhile Mexico may
manufacture all the testimony desired
in the Jenkens case, but she cannot
make enough ammunition to put it
over
Also, in addition to monkeying with
the buzz saw, Carranza is taking a
lighted match into a gas house.

BASKET MAKERS OF NAPLES
For Centuries He Has Been Pictur.
esque Sight in Streets
Of City.

For centuries the basket maker has
been a picturesque sight in old Naples
where the trade runs in the same fam
lily for generations. The basket maker
is omnipresent, either plating or SELL
ing his wares in every direction. for
In no other city under the sun are
they used for so many purposes, from
cradles for babies to fish receptacles,
and covering for wine bottles. The
artist splits his wicker deity with
4 long-bladed knife and proceeds to
weave watertight baskets by hand,
as only his strong fingers can fashion
them. Not one, but many a day are
ed about him at nfghtfall, he gives
sigh of satisfaction and loads his
cart for the morrow. Or possibly it
is his own back which must be bent
to the burden. If SO, he appears like
an animated basket-rack as he sallies
Later one can easily imagine that
there is a ventriloquist hidden away
in the depths Of the baskets, calling
his ware.
BY day and by night he lives in close
proximity with his goat, cow and
horse If he is rich enough to possess
these domestic animals, sleeping in the
same room with them utterly oblivious
to discomfort or anything out of the
ordinary. More than one tourist has
told us Of common sight, that Of
seeing horse ascend flight of stairs,
ahead Of his master, at the end Of
hard day of peddling. And If not a
horse, a mule, the sonorous braying
of which does not disturb the slum-
Der he has won for he knows no
eight-hour day.

Ell. S. team Mr.. Burns, coach of the To-
cal High School basketball team, has
retained IL boys for the varsity

He has nine fellows for the varsity

Burns states that the teams of the
Northern New Jersey Interscholastic

basketball to keep the championship
from the Crimson and Black boys. The
second team is arranging a long sched-
ule with the second teams of the lead
ing high schools of northern New Jer-
sey and New York city.

is 1T A "SkiN GAME 2"

We are informed by the scrupulously
accurate and painstaking Bureau of
Markets of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture that the Ameri-
can packers, dealers, importers and
tanners for the month of October had
40, 67S, $50 hides and skins. This is a
net increase of 3,30S,55S over Sep
tember
Increases were shown in the hold
ings of goat skins and kid skins; also
in kip skins, colt, donkey and pony
skins; also in kangaroo and wallaby
hides; also in sheep, lamb, and buff
falo skins.
At that time, as we remember it,
packers, dealers, importers and tan
ners were insisting that the high price
of shoes, gloves and other articles
made in part or wholly from skins and
hides, was due to the shortage of skins
and hides.
You have heard tell of "skin games"
haven't you? Well.

VILLAGE POLITICS.

To a man who knows the intimate
touch of village politics, there is no
other form nearly as important. Mere
national or state politics pale into in
significance compared with the village
variety That is why local partisanry
will run to such extreme lengths at
times, and finds itself making strenu-
Gus, though ridiculous, plea for some
thing as though the happiness of the
rest of the world depended upon just
that one thing being done according
to the way it was "resoluted" about
Village politics takes itself very seri-
ously, and there are some really big
ger men engaged in the world-beating
business than the president or govern
or. Our own local brand of the elect
politician is fair sample. The dignity,
the awe inspiring approach to some
urgent appeal to community voters at
times fit stuff to adorn more preten-
tious occasions than village meeting.
But this is the human side of life.
Each of us must assume at least the
outward semblance of Importance, else
earth pail and would not hear of our
fame did we not spiel it from the
housetops And here we have our
little humbuggeries, as well-and our
vagaries, just as they do in the halls
of Congress, only the latter are of nc
significance compared with ours here
in the village And everybody knows
this. It's truth is self-assertive.

RAILROAD TUNNEL
 UNDER STRAITS IS
 A JAPANESE PLAN

TOXIC, March 11.-A bill provid- ing for the expenditure of about $9,- 00O,000 for the construction of the railroad tunnel under Shimonoseki Strait, 1t is reported, will be intro duced in the coming session of the Diet. The Shimonoseki Strait sep artes the Southwest corner of the Island of Hondo, the terminus of the central railway system, with it's Southern neighbor Island, Kiushiu.
 The building of this tunnel has been under consideration for a long time owing to the rapid tide which makes difficult the operation of the railway ferry between the main isl and Kiushiu. The proposed tunnel will be three and one half miles in length, one mile being under the sea bed, at depth of 30 feet. Tn plan includes a road for foot passengers.

PARTY SEARCHING
 FOR MISSING METEOR THAT FALLS IN LAKE
By Landing in the Reservoir the Starry Messenger Caused the Ice to Melt

TOWANDA, Pa., March 11.-A search for a missing meteor. con. ducted by the United States GeolO. gical Survey, has ended in the reser- voir of the Towania Water Com pany. Incidentally it has enabled the company toaccount for the sudden disappearance of its ice crop on the night of January P.
 On the afternoon of the meteor's flight local officials visited the res ervoir and decided to cut the eight ing crop the next morning. During the night the meteor landed in the reservoir. When workmen went to harvest the ice. it had dwindled to scant three inches, due. it is as serted to the heat of the meaeor warming the water in the reservoir.
 The reservoir will be drained in an effort to find the meteor.

THEY WANT INTERVENTION

NEW YORK, March 5.-A Mexico City special says the recent organi, zation of a National Association for the Defense of American Rights in Mexico is regarded by Mexicans as an interventionist movement pure and simple. According to members Of the Government it is "an overt un- friendly act against the Mexican gov. ernment." He further stated that the men foremost in the organization are known to be avowed enemies of the present Government and they unquestionably intend to wage an in tensive press campaign in the United States in favor of intervention. The alleged huge sum has been contri buted for this work. and is said to be ready for operations to begin.
