EtymolOgists have discovered the

come dearer than ever 10 Frenchmen
and Americans alike. Lafayette came
from the part Of France known as Au.

near Brionde, and his ancestral home
stands not far from the village OF
Alre-la-Fayette. In This part Of the
country the word "fayette" means a
wood of "fayards," and "fayards"
comes from the Latin word "fagus," +"
which In the dialect OF the country
has come 10 mean "hetre" or beech

The reason cited by Professor
Scudder for this fact is that Modern
farming IS a highly complex business
and strictly competitive commercial
enterprise.

.ROMANOFF PRINCESS IS
MADE PENNILESBY REDS

GENEVA, April 2.-Deprived Of a
$4,000 yearly income by the Bolshe-
visits, a Romanoff princess was forced
to plead for leniency before the
Vevey tribunal when arraigned on
the charge of Swiss hotelkeeper
that she had failed to pay a hotel
bill amounting to 5000.
She said she had applied many
times for employment as a lady's
companion and even as a maid, but
prospective employers were either
suspicious OF her or declared her ap-
pAarance too aristocratic. The judge
dismissed the case and assessed the
costs against the hotelkeeper.
Tho princess was attired in deep
mourning. She said she was penni-
less as her properties near Moscow
had been confiscated by the" Bolshe-
visits. who also had killed her father.
