VERY young girls have an idea that

love OF ornamentation born in most

we are grown up and which some OF
US never get over at all IN this, as
in many other ways. the individual
follows in himself the development Of
the race. The ravage painted his skin
with brilliant colors; the members Of
earlier civilizations adorned them
selves with quantities OF brilliantly
colored gems. But today we recog-
nize that a few jewels chosen for
their harmony are IN better taste as
well as more becoming.
Jewelry~ Of course-except in the
case OF bar pins-serves no useful
purpose. It is purely ornamentation-
Consequently it must be beautiful II

World Mineral Resources.

In geology there is no political bound
airy. Geologic formations extend beneath
frontiers and fortresses and ores and 9TH
er useful minerals are deposited in like
manner from continent TO continent. Ac-
eordingly, in anticipation that the Unit
ed States geological survey depart
ment of the interior) would be called
upon for information regarding the min
eral deposits and production Of countries
other than our own, several Of the geo
logical survey specialists in the study Of
the different kinds Of mineral deposits
began last year, as a preparedness meas
ure, the compilation of such data. The
results of this work more than fulfilled
the expectations, and the demands for
the information became so numerous and
urgent as to require that the work be
placed in the hands of a carefully eho-
sen committee, each member Of which
is a specialist in his subject. Under the
direction of this committee the compila-
tion went forward in a comprehensive
and thorough manner. In furnishing
such information to the various war or
CARNATIONS the geological survey only
more fully performed its work as the
American bureau of information regard
ing the geology and mineral resources
of the world.

PARIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
Will Appear in Burlington Next Mon
day Night.

The Paris Symphony orchestra, which
appears in Burlington next Monday
evening, has been acclaimed during its
short tour of this country as no other
musical attraction ever has. Crowds
have clamored to hear it and thousands
have been unable to gain admittance to
the theatre and auditoriums where the
orchestra has played
The orchestra was sent to this coun-
try by the French government as its cx-
preston Of love for America, to give so
concerts only. It's tour has extended as
far south as New Orleans and as far
west as San Francisco. Andre Messenger
aud his SO players have been cheered
and feted. In almost every city where
the orchestra has been heard it has
played under the auspices of the local
Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade
It has received sums ranging from $4,000
to $4,000 for single concerts, and all of
the money it turns over to the Ameri-
can Red Cross and the French war relief
fund, the orchestra itself being sup
ported by the French government. It's
coming to Vermont is the greatest pos
sible musical compliment that could be
paid the state.

from her son, MILFORD c. Hathaway of
Europe. He is also brother Of Mrs.

day, ais the censorship has been lifted.
When we left the states one year ago
to-day, we sailed for France. We were
at sea for 20 days before we saw land.
On the 18th of December we came IN
sight of Ushant island, France. We saw
some German subs, but they did not
harm us. We went to Bordeaux, France.
where we stayed for % days to unload.
Then we went to Lisbon, Portugal, which
is a very old city and very interesting.
We were there for two weeks. Then we
left Lisbon and went back to Bordeaux.
We arrived there Feb. 2, 1918. We left
there with q load Of wine barrels and
went back to Lisbon We took half a
cargo of railroad ties and then went to
Oporto, Portugal, where we finished load
ing with ties. ..-
0porto is the home of port wine. You
can buy eight quarts for 81. The water
over here in Portugal is so bad YOU have
to drink beer or wine all the time. When
we were on the S. s. Mauban for a few
days we had wine aboard and not a drop
of drinking water.
Well, we went to st. Nazaire, France
from Oporto. We made two more trips
to Oporto. On the third trip we went to
Bayonne, France. We were the first
American ship there in 30 years. Be
lieve me, we owned the town. We were
also in st. Jean De Luz, only eight miles
from Spain. We followed the Spanish
coast all the way to Portugal.
We came TO Barry, England, for a load
Of coal and then went to Portugal again,
When we left Portugal, we went to st.
Nazaire again and from there went back
to Barry, Wales. We stayed in Barry
seven weeks and we found lot of nice
girls. We left Barry Sept 20 and went
to lie Hayre, France, and then to st.
Nazaire
We have been back in England again

A Loss to Tufts.

In the resignation of President Her
mon c. Bumpus Tufts college suffers the
loss of a man who has administered its
affairs smoothly and efficiently, enhanced
its prestige at home and abroad, and
laid the firm foundation of its future
greatness. In the four years that he
has been at the college, DIR. Bumpus
has proved himself an able executive and
shown a rare willingness and ability to
get along" with faculty, students and
alumni That the cooperation Of all
friends Of the institution has been vouch-
safed him in such large measure is due
mostly to the fact that he himself has
been ever ready to cooperate.
Few college presidents of this day
have so welcomed, even sought, advice as
has DIR. Bumpus. 1t has been his Gus
tom to think long, and then move with
frmness and rapid decision. Perhaps this
is one reason why he has made so few
mistakes. In any event, his admins
tration has been marked by a steady
advance on the part Of the college. OF
spectacular developments there have
been none. but it has been noted that
whenever a crisis arose in these war.
years of recurring crises, Tufts was al
ways prepared for IT, Whether it was a
case Of recognizing scientific courses
to meet the new needs of the nation, of
training intensiyely hundreds of drafted
men in shops and laboratories or Of sud
denly organizing or demobilizing the
students army training corps, the col,
lege was quick to act.
But, more important still, has been the
development Of the college in the past
few years, a. an institution Of sturdier
educational ideals. Entrance require
ments are broader but not lower than
they were, the curriculum has been pro-
gressively revised and standards Of
scholarship raised, all done with a view
to greater service to constituency and
community. It has not been an era of
new construction or of swelling endow-
ments. Dr. Bumpus has not been mon
ey.raiser in the modern sense Of the
word, but he has been a competent ex.
ecutiye and capable of inspiring the 10y.
atty of all with whom he came in con
tact.--Boston Transcript.
