WOMEN'S CLUB OUTING
 | COMPLETE SUCCESS

The picnic dinner on Brooklyn Heights given by the Women's club, for tue members and their families, was one of the pleasant outings of the year. Almost one hundred and seventeen plates of tempting fare and many more refreshing cups of coffee were served, Cafeteria Style, and then a pleasant hour was spent by the adults in conversation while the children roamed the surrounding hills.
 The weather was perfect and the view of the harbor, mountains and town never appeared to better ad- vantage. Every one returned to the busy city with evident reluctance and much regret was expressed that this was the last social evening for the year to be given by the club.

Westminster Gazette: How many
more burials will there be in West
minister abbey? Within its walls lie
the remains Of close on three thou
sand people, and so numerous are the
monuments aud memorials that It is
impossible to prevent them jostling
each other without the slightest pre-
tentions to artistic arrangement. Both
Westminster abbey and st. Pauls' are
excepted from the general prohibition
OF intramural intermentS, but the
time has almost arrived when. from
sheer want of space, no further burlals
will be possible in the abbey. 1t has
been suggested that a national maui
soleum should be provided by utilizing
the old "undercroft" to the east Of the
Great Cloisters, part of which is the
Chapel Of the Pyx and part of the
gymnasium Of Westminster school.
Though this is outside the abbey itself,
1t is in the abbey precincts.

CRADLE OF THE HUMAN RACE
Stems to Be Ample Proof That Mid.
Asian Plateau Was the Original
Emigration Point.

: Somewhere on the lofty mid-ASian
plateau. scholars tell us, was the re-
gion whence the human race dis
FriSed and was distributed. If the
theory seems to cynics little like a
sentimental engraving, we have to
uus' the authorities. At any rate, IN
that now thinly populated district are
the relies Of early civilizations, earlier
than any now known to history. 1t Is
significant that the most ancient civ
il'zcd countries that we know, Baby
lonia, Chaldca and their successors
and rivals, the peoples Of the far-off
fore ines in Asia Minor, Egypt, India,
Chiri are the frontiers or extensions
OF this central area, whence wave
after wave of invasion has flowed im-
memorialiy. Man IN the hunting
stage has to follow the game for his
lood and his clothes. Therefore 1t is
probable that Central Asia was the
old home whence cmigrated mammals
whose descendants now live In other
regions.

FAMOUS OLD CITY
Geneva Figures Prominently in
Pages OF History.
RECORDS Show Brave Fight foe inde-

Powerful. INSCRIPTIONS Neiohbors.

Geneva. the seat of the League of
Nations. witnessed some fierce fight
ing in the days when the duke Of
Savoy sought to destroy its independ-
ence with the aid of j contingent Of
Spanish troops.
These mercenarieS tried to rush
the defenSeS ut dead Of night, but
though some of them managed to get
into Geneva, not one of them managed
to get out again. Those who were not
Killed In action were afterward be-
headed.

Geneva Bible.
On the eve Of their departure for

records show. honorable license to
depart. together with q testimonial
OF the satisfaction we have had In
them. and an exhOrtation to act In
their Turn toward foreigners as We
have acted toward them" Then they
all wrote their signatures In the "I.ivre
des Angiais." or Book Of the English.
which Is carefully treasured in the
Geneva archives.
Though Geneva for some hundreds
OF years has been a sovereign republic,
much Of the architectural beauty of
the modern town is directly due to the
generosity of One-time reigning
prince, Charles H. duke Of Brunswick
WOlfenbuttel.
The duke, who was born in 1907, sue
ceeded Mt an early age to the throne,
and governed so arbitrarily and cruel
ly that his subjects appealed to the
German diet, which. after some nego-
tiation deposed him and placed his
younger brother OH the throne. After
this Duke Charles, who was very
wealthy, wandered about Europe, max
Ing Paris his headquarters. On the
outbreak Of the Franco-I'russian war,
IN 1870, he finally settled at Geneva,
where he died in 1873.
He had been an exile from his own
land for more than thirty years, and If
he ever had had any affection for 1t,
1t had persisted during that time; so
he constituted the city of Geneva his
heir. His will was disputed by his
brother and successor, Duke William
who demanded the family Jewels and
other treasure.
Before the case came into the courts
the duke agreed to compromise, and
the city came in for a legacy worth
about four million dollars. This sum,
or considerable portion Of It, has
been spent In identifying the town,
building the QuayS and the elaborate
Brunswick monument
