We have all probably seen and ad-
mired imported bead bags, but did you
ever happen to hear where they were
made? / was looking at some lovely
ones at The Peterson Jewelry Store
yesterday. and Mr.. Peterson told me
that this really exclusive line is the
work of Belgium Artisans. Imported
lace pieces, with hand doomed centers
and trimmed in silver lace. One thing
I noticed especially was the new floor
lamps with the parchment shades.
Also the bronze reading light with
smoking set attached. Some genuine

coral and real clouded and polished

Famous Swiss City

ST. Gall (Switzerland) is the noted
embroidery seat of modern days, and
one of the most influential centerS of
Christian civilization in central Eu-
rope. The city owes its fOunda ton
to the Irish apostle GalluS. who, in the
year 614. founded hermitage near
the brook Steinach. In the resulting
monastery of st. Gall, the strict rules
Of the Irish church were enforced I'M
til 720, when those of st. Benedict
were substituted by an abbot Othmar.
In 1861, the Abbot Norpert of st. Gall
erected a convent on the Sitter river,
the place taking the name of AbbatiS
Cella-AppenZell, and the abbOts of
st. Gall became the dominating inf1u-
enCe in the land, until the subsequent
ly much-impresSed mOuntaineers re-
sorted to force and succeeded in shak-
ing off their yoke.

For more than 1000 years carrier

Incredible feat of carrying to the out
side world, in one trip no fewer than
10000 messages averaging 20 words
each. This was 100000 words, or the
equivalent of five or six average
novels.
1t was accomplished by means of
microscopic photography. the message
being first printed with ordinary type

rolled up in a quill, weighed but one
twenty-eighth of an ounce, and the mes

a microscope, without the necessity OF
rephotOgraphing and enlarging.
Under favorable conditions. and for
comparatively short distances, pigeons
have carried as much as quarters

sible for a single bird to carry mes
sages equal in words to no fewer than
