DEF0RD SUES
FOR INSURANCE:

c. II. DeFord of Buckingham as
administrator of the estate Of his
son. Hale DeFord, has brought sui,
for $1,000 against the New Ycrb
fife Insurance company in the dis.
trict court here.
DeFord alleges that on Dec. IL,
1918, his son applied for $1,000
life insurance policy from the dc.
fendant's agent, one J. f. Conway
1t is alleged that the application
was accepted and that the company
also accepted a promisory note fcI
sl5.5S to pay for the policy. Ac.
cordlng to the complaint the com,
pany was negligent in completing
the transaction and turning over a
policy to young DeFGrd. On Dec
26, the son died The company de-
MED that DeFord had any claim fol
insurance and refused to pay.
DeFord alleges that his son had
completed his share OF the transac
tion, that his application was ac-
cepted and that he was kept from
taking ont insurance with another
company because he supposed he
was already insured. DeFord de-
mands that the company pay him

supposed Druid temples and one of
the most striking of the uninscribed
monuments of the world, has not en-.

The larger monoliths are too massive

also are found in numbers In western
Europe, especially In France, and to
lesser degree in northern Africa, and
In southern Asia us far east as India.
Among them, however, the compara-
lively few great groups stand out
prominently. Stonehenge differs from
most of the other circles in the great
size of the upright stones, and In the
fact that massive lintels are placed
from upright to upright, forming trl,
ithons. The placing Of the concentric
circles and outlying marker stones of
Stonehenge in such a way that Its
axis points practically to the rising
sun on the longest day Of the year
the summer solstice-has led to gen.
eral acceptance of the theory that
this was temple for sun worship.

which slowly shifts the apparent point
Of sunrise at successive summer sol

the date Of the building of Stonehenge

avenues and other monuments of great
stones belong to approximately the

the Stonehenge and Marlborough Rocks

and human sacrifice, 1t Is believed that
the smaller groups Of stones mark bu.

THE LONG, LONG TRAIL OF
THE GYPSY

Now that the weather is becoming
mild again, some fine day you will
discover a camp Of gypsies near your
doorstep, and wonder where in the
world they came from. The world has
been wondering for many century
whence the original gypsles came.
George Borrow relates that the first
gypsies made their appearance In Mol
davia In 1417, and no one seems to be
very certain In regard to their place
Of origin. The original 5000 Increased
to formidable proportions In a century
or two, and Maria Theresa and Joseph
II tried to civilize them, with no sue.
cess.
In the early days each little band
had captain whom they honored with
the title Of count. To secure the GOV.
eted position this leader had to be
valiant and courageous In the pillag-
Ing expeditions for food and sagacious
and crafty enough to settle their dis
putes. For this he was allowed third
Of anything that the band stole.
Despite their marauding tendencies,
and their more or less contemptuous
attitude toward people not "of the
blood" they have q code Of morals
which contains many excellent require
ments. A true gypsy must not have
quarrelsome disposition, and,he never
reveals the secrets Of the brotherhood.
Though they make the rest Of mankind
their lawful prey, they are capable Of
great sacrifices for each other. They
pledge themselves never to marry out
Of their own sect, nor will they teach
their language to anyone not gypsy
By blood or adoption.
Their daredevil spirit perhaps has
had passing influence on most Of the
countries In which these wanderers
have lived. At least England ID ac-
credited with having contracted her
love Of horse racing from them, and
they are nearly always to be found
among her jockeys and In attendance
upon her Derbys.
