Babies in France
 Given Peculiar
 Names Since War

Paris, Feb. 26.-Babies in France in war time or since have received many topical names, for the most part ugly and incongruous. An appeal has now been issued that this custom cease, and that the ordinary christian names drawn from the Calendar of Saints. should once more become universal throughout the country. Among the names given some of the unfortunate children born during the war, Joff- rette and Joffreta are common. A father of Bordeaux was anxious to christen his daughter Reyanche and this name was also suggested by an inhabitant of Montreuil fox his son. Place names, such as Namur, Liege, Le Marne, Alsace-Lorraine Mulhouse Verdun and Salonique are also now quite usual. As for the Frances and Victories, it should be difficult to count them.
 One father wanted to name his son Rintintin, after one of the mas cots, Nenette and Rintintin, sold dur ing the war. The registry clerk, luckily for the unfortunate child, re- fused to register such a name, as in France the. only Christian names which are recognized by the law are those which appear in the Calendar of the Saints. A campaign is now being organized for the strict en- forcenent of the law.

New Orchid Which Required Lengthy
 Nurturing, Blooms

St. Louis, Mo, Feb. 27.-A new or chld which required five years of the careful nuturing that is required by all orchids to create and bring to flower, is in bloom at the Missouri Botanical gardens here.
 The parents of this orchid were crossed in February, 1915, the seed was ripened and planted in October of that year and the bloom has just appeared.
 It has been named the D. s. Brown orchid in honor of the late D. S. Brown of Kirkwood. Mo-, who gave to the garden a collection of orchid plants valued at least at S1OOOOO and which brought the orchid col lection at the garden to rank as the best in America.
 According to George H. Pring, horticulturist of the Garden, the history of this orchid demonstrates why the orchid will soon be placed beyond the reach or milady who now covets it for her corsage.
 MT. Firing says: "The government recently has prohibited the importa- tion of the orchid plants because of the belief that certain injurious in- sects are brought in with the plants, which comes from the topics. You have seen how tedious is the dcvel- opment of orchid plants from seed. The result is that the florist, who now grows the cattleya of gorgeous commercial l orchid cannot hope to perpetuate the flower. Those that he does raise soon will disappear un- less the ban on importation is lifted. It requires eight years to grow a cat tleya to a point where it's flower has commercial value. And the life of the ordinary plant after blossoming is but five years. with solitary blossom each year..
 The new orchid is of the lady slip per variety, it's parents being from the Brown collection. It's parents were chocolate brown, but it reverted to the color of one. of it's grandpa rents and is yellow, with light pink upper sepel It is larger than the flower of either of it's parents and even so, has not yet reached it's full growth, which will come afteh a second or third blooming.

Try Hamper as Means of Carrying
 Products of Farm

New Haven, Conn, Feb 27.--An eX pertinent in use of the hamper fol carrying products of the farm from the farmer to the city householder is being tried out in Connecticut The Department of Agriculture has approved the idea which is pattern ed on that of the parcel post rural service. The street railway express is the medium of transportation, not the mails.
 A farmer may take orders by telc- phone or mail, fill up a hamper and deliver it to the street railway eX. press company which maintains an auxiliary express service along it's lines with automobile delivery in the cities Eggs, poultry, potatoes. ap- pes and other farm products, order ed over the wire, may be delivered in few hours with as much care as g marketman in town gives to hG city customers.
 The New Haven County Farm Bu- reau, which for a year has studied local marketing. by survey found the possibilities of the trolley eX- farm to table" delivery by means of HolilS tidiilpSl oOiIliSCtiSt" io gridironed with trolley lines. Tens of thousands of farmers can see cross country trolley lines pass EX- press cars pick up wayside freight or express matter at any stopping place. Hampers made up in Milford were delivered in New Haven and Bridgeport within two hours. or in as short interval as city merchant makes his local deliveries.
 The plan contemplates use of a uniform hamper of varying sizes, easily handled as express. recogniz- ed by car crews and automobile drivers as containing foodstuffs with the possibility of perishable articles like dressed poultry, or breakables, like eggs.
 Experimental hampers hold enough food to last family sev e1al days. Success of the plan de- pends upon the initiative of farmers in securing customers who are will ing to have delivery made in this way. si

Counterfeit Bills
 Dated 1865 are
 Found in Dallas

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 27.-.After being in circulation since 1865 and prob ably having passed through many banks and innumera ble private hands two ragged counterfeit $5 bills al most worn out have been detected and art now at the end of their de- ceptive journey. They passed mus ter at the hands of bank employees for a half century, but when they reached the Federal Reserve Bank at Dallas the fact that they were counterfeit was detected.
 This, local bankers declare, does not mean that bankers and money handlers the nation over are losing their power to detect fraudulent bills, but rather means that worn and ragged bills are likely to get by the nose cautious eyes.
 The counterfietS in question were issued during the first charter per iod of national bank notes under the act of congress of Feb 5,1863, when F. E. Sinner was treasurer of the United States and s. B. Colby we Register. of the Treasury.
 . Detection was made by slight va riation in the lot or number of the bills and the inferior grade of paper During the time in which these bills were counterfieted all banks used the same design, the only variation on the obverse side of the note being the address and date of the charter of the bank, and on the reserve side the coat of arms of the state and the location of the bank
 One of the connterfiets is on the Traders National Bank of Chicago and the other is on the First Ma tional Bank of Tampa, Fla.
 The matter has been referred to the United States Secret Service, not with view of capturing the coun- terfieters, but for the purpose of aiding in finding other such bills.

Rutgers Prepares
For Lehigh Game

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
1.-THE Rutgers football team has
settled down to more intensive
training this week in preparation
for It's game with Lehigh Untver-
sity at South Bethlehem on Satur-
day, which will be its first away
trombone game of the season. In
1919 Lehigh was the victor and the
Scarlet eleven Is determined to
come hack this year.
The game on Saturday showed
that the hard and long drills OF last
week were not in vain. but there is
still much TO be done and the team
has yet to undergo considerable
change before 1t will measure up
to the standard OF past elovens.

GETTING READY
FOR BIG GAME
Grove City viii Give Wes-
leyan A Hard
Fight

BUCKHANNoN, Oct. 1.-THE
frst Of series of scrimmages
which Bob Higgins and John Fell
ton have on the program Of the
Methodists this week took place on
the local field Tuesday afternoon.
The hard grinds are for a purpose.
What Is now looming up as one of
the tough nuts Of the season for
the Methodists to crack Is the
home encounter Saturday which it
she opening game Of the year for
local fans. Grove City Is the team
and their record Of last year tells
the story. Playing through the
season with the representative
elevens- of their section and not
losing a single game is evidence OF
their class. Add to this fact that
the team OF 1919 remains intact
with the exception OF one end and
another story told. Finally, any
number OF strong high school and
prep school men have been added
to the list, to say nothing Of Techs
great tackle, Moon. and Penn
States star linesman. Osborne.
The very fact that Grove City
is strong is why the press service
OF Wesleyan is reporting in like
terms. There is nothing to be
gained by giving the public notice
that u strong game Is on hand
when such is not the case. Facts
prove that Wesleyan has tussle
on hand and II advance notice will
be accepted the game here on Sat
urday is going to be by far the big
gest football game that Buckhan-
non has ever seen. Fans in this
city have been wanting to see a
real football eleven come here and
now 1t is actually coming. Grove
City thinks that they can win the
game. The Grove City coach and
a player of the Grove City eleven
sat In the bleachers at Wheeling
and made notes on the Wesleyan
end of the program. 1t is sure that
Bob Higgins Is aware Of the
strength OF the Grove City eleven,
yet he has a problem TO win on
Saturday.
A would be a hard blow to the
Methodists to lose the opening
game at home In the first place
the public who saw the Fairmont
game and the Wheeling game is
admitting that Wesleyan has real
football team. To drop the game
with Grove City would be hard on
the team from a local standpoint
and after all, here is where the
boys spend their time. So tie
week will be a hard one for the
Wesleyan players, as the best of
preparation must be made for the
home opening.
